Chapter 352: The God

This was also why the god of the Hilin Kingdom paid no heed to the Yan Kingdom's army.

From the very beginning, his plan was to unleash power at any cost and annihilate the Yan Kingdom's forces!

On the Continent of Gods, the sky is vast, the earth is vast, but the strongest fist reigns supreme!

No matter how fierce your propaganda campaign, no matter how well-prepared your army, no matter how powerful your warriors, before a true god, you are utterly powerless!

Thus, the god of the Hilin Kingdom never worried about the Yan Kingdom from start to finish.

Even when the Yan Kingdom launched its troops, the Hilin Kingdom's intensified offensive struck this god as suicidal!

The Hilin Kingdom had already taken up defensive positions on the southern highlands.

But the Hilin Kingdom's frantic attacks had drained its own resources immensely.

The Hilin Kingdom believed the Hilin Kingdom's homeland was left defenseless and would be raided by the Yan Kingdom!

But with him present, as a god of the Heavenly Realm, if he spared no effort to descend his power, destroying a hundred-thousand-strong army might not be impossible!

Of course, even if he couldn't annihilate them entirely, as long as he killed over one hundred thousand soldiers, the two hundred thousand troops within Wang Cheng could launch a counterattack!

Though these warriors weren't particularly strong, at least they could handle a winning battle, right?

This was the god of the Hilin Kingdom's plan.

Though this plan would drain him tremendously!

Had his divine realm not been hidden, this god would never have dared to execute such a plan.

Because this descent of divine punishment would consume vast amounts of divine power; with his divine power severely depleted, if enemies invaded his divine realm, even fighting on home ground, he would gain no great advantage.

But if this plan succeeded, the god of the Hilin Kingdom could smoothly conquer the Yan Kingdom and the Horton Kingdom!

Once the Yan Kingdom's sole army was defeated, what could they use to resist the Hilin Kingdom?

The Horton Kingdom was now launching relentless attacks against the Hilin Kingdom's million-strong army, aiming to tie it down, hoping the Yan Kingdom's stab from behind would cut deep enough for them to sit back and watch the two beasts fight.

But once the Yan Kingdom was defeated, the Horton Kingdom's reckless, casualty-ignoring assaults would become utterly meaningless—mere acts of sending troops to their deaths!

Then, the Hilin Kingdom could launch a counteroffensive: northward to conquer the Horton Kingdom, eastward to seize the Yan Kingdom, bringing all three nations under its banner, making the god of the Hilin Kingdom the ultimate victor!

This was the god of the Hilin Kingdom's calculation!

Therefore, the battle outside Wang Cheng must be won!

Therefore, he would spare no divine power, descending divine punishment to deliver a devastating blow to the Yan Kingdom's army!

As for the god of the Yan Kingdom, he didn't even consider him worth a thought!

How powerful could the god of the Beastman Kingdom possibly be?

Let me give you a simple example.

The Beastman Kingdom had only one or two million people.

Meanwhile, the Hilin Kingdom boasted over twenty million people.

And this god had enjoyed the faith of these twenty million people for over a hundred years.

Who is stronger?

Who has more faith power?

In the Heavenly Realm, the Beastman Kingdom had no god worth mentioning!

Only low-tier gods would even glance at the Beastman Kingdom!

Thus, from start to finish, the god of the Hilin Kingdom never regarded the Yan Kingdom's god as a threat.

Even if he had been defeated by the god of the Horton Kingdom, he was still not to be challenged by some petty beastman god!

"Blame only yourselves for your arrogance—accept the wrath of the gods!"

In the city of Hilin Kingdom, the god's consciousness residing within the king spoke.

As his words fell, countless red lights began to flare in the sky beyond the Hilin Kingdom's city walls.

Each of these red lights was a divine punishment!

Seeing this, Meng Ying's face turned pale.

Just moments ago, that god had sent down only one divine punishment; though Meng Ying, as a forbidden spell mage, had blocked it with layer upon layer of elemental shields, her exhaustion was immense.

More than half her mental energy had already been spent!

How easily could one withstand a god's attack?

Even with the barrier of the Heavenly Realm between them, a divine punishment unleashed without restraint remained terrifying!

"No wonder Wang Cheng remained silent—the god of the Hilin Kingdom planned to wipe us all out here!"

Meng Ying understood the god of the Hilin Kingdom's scheme!

In fact, from the god of the Hilin Kingdom's previous conduct, it was clear he was a god who loved risky maneuvers and was extremely arrogant!

Otherwise, why would he dare attack the Horton Kingdom after losing a divine war?

Faced with the Yan Kingdom's advance, this god had done absolutely nothing effective to counter it.

He even allowed the Yan Kingdom's propaganda campaign to fester unchecked.

Of course, with Hilin Kingdom's domestic forces depleted and the church unable to spare additional personnel, he had no better options.

But any other god would have made some effort.

Yet this god did nothing—letting the Yan Kingdom advance unimpeded!

Now she understood—this was his true aim.

Under the watchful eyes of every faction in the entire Hilin Kingdom, he would, single-handedly, descend divine punishment and wipe out the Yan Kingdom's army in one stroke!

This was indeed a grand gesture!

Even Meng Ying could not possibly withstand so many divine punishments.

"The god has descended his power! Our god is mighty!"

On the city walls of the Hilin Kingdom, seeing this sight, countless church members began chanting in unison.

The warriors of the Spirit Kingdom looked up at the sky, witnessing the terrifying scene as if doom had descended, their faces filled with shock.

Immediately after, these warriors also began to cheer!

"The gods are angry! Divine punishment is coming! It's over, it's over!"

On the Yan side, among Princess Luoying's newly assembled army, some commoners turned ashen and spoke.

Though these commoners had come to enlist with burning passion, seeing the sheer magnitude of the Spirit Kingdom's god, their hearts were already filled with despair.

For this divine punishment was far greater than the handiwork of the Abyssal Demigod in Lion Clan's Wang Cheng.

That Abyssal Demigod had merely used dark clouds to brew lightning strikes within them.

If Meng Ying had been there at the time, she could have blocked those attacks without Lin Yan lifting a finger, allowing the entire forty-thousand-strong army to withdraw unscathed.

But this time, the god himself was striking directly!

This was divine punishment!

This was the wrath of a god!

Ten Meng Yings could not block this attack!

Perhaps even a hundred Meng Yings might stand a chance!

Thus, Princess Luoying's newly assembled army was already in chaos.

Even some of the nobles within it were regretting their decision.

They could not help but react this way—after all, before life and death, no one could remain calm.

In contrast, not a single soldier in the Yan army showed any sign of worry!

For these Yan beast warriors knew that if the enemy's god had intervened, the Great Lord of Flame would surely not stand idle!

They had their battlefield.

Gods had their battlefield!

Indeed, as the terrifying divine punishment above seemed ready to strike, a burst of flame erupted violently from atop the fox maiden Sister Qing Ling's head.

Instantly, the flame exploded outward, filling the entire sky!

From below, it appeared as if the fire had sealed off the heavens themselves!

This sight was astonishing—warriors of the Spirit Kingdom seeing it for the first time nearly tumbled from the city walls in shock.

"Look up at the sky!"

In Wang Cheng, there were still seven or eight hundred thousand ordinary civilians, and they too looked up at the flames that had sealed the sky, their mouths gaping open.
