Chapter 361

All eyes converged on Kamikawa Mitsu and the seven figures behind him.

"That must be a transcendental from the Ashiya family! Excellent—our Initial World is saved!"

Mr. Zhongtian's face flushed with excitement.

He recognized the clothing of the seven figures—nearly identical to that of Yin-Yang Masters, differing only in color; dressed as Yin-Yang Masters, they were undoubtedly Yin-Yang Master transcendentalists.

And since they had come with Kamikawa Mitsu and stood behind him, it was almost certain they were Ashiya family Yin-Yang Masters.

Countless people shared Mr. Zhongtian's exhilaration.

Kamikawa Mitsu must have seen other worlds exploiting the weakness and gone to fetch the Ashiya family's Yin-Yang Masters.

In fact.

What the world assumed was close to the truth: Kamikawa Mitsu had come at this moment precisely because he had summoned the Ashiya family's Yin-Yang Masters.

But more precisely, he had contacted Ashiya Dou and the others to return, bringing newly collected corpses, with the main goal of recreating two of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, starting with seven.

Because yesterday he had asked Ashiya Nü to contact Ashiya Dou and the others, and learned they had acquired more divine and demonic corpses.

Currently, the Twenty-Eight Mansions consisted only of Ashiya Dou and his four companions—they couldn't even complete the Northern Seven Mansions; with the alien invasion imminent, Kamikawa Mitsu seized this opportunity to first assemble the Northern Seven Mansions.

The reason for their delay was that Kamikawa Mitsu had been shaping the remaining Northern Seven Mansions: "Ox" and "Room."

"Room" was female, "Ox" was male; their shaping method mirrored Ashiya Dou's—imprinting loyalty memories and so on.

Notably, when Kamikawa Mitsu previously shaped Ashiya Dou and the others, they were only Divine Step Two; now, shaping "Ox" and "Room," he reached Divine Step Three's peak.

After all, Ashiya Dou and the others had already reached Divine Step Three; shaping Divine Step Two would now lag behind, so he smelted all the divine and demonic corpses Ashiya Dou brought into two bodies, forging two Twenty-Eight Mansions at Divine Step Three's peak.

Seven Divine Step Three transcendentalists, two of them at Divine Step Three's peak—this lineup was luxurious indeed.

Yet, besides the delay in shaping the "Ox" and "Room" Mansions, there was another reason.

This was the true reason Kamikawa Mitsu arrived late.

He had modified the constitution of all humanity, so he understood humanity's changes better than anyone—he had anticipated that when the alien worlds invaded, they would most likely not kill humans, but instead seek to recruit and subjugate them.

He intended to use the aliens' recruitment to eliminate humans with disloyal intentions toward the Initial World.

After all, alien invasions were inevitable and would only increase; under such circumstances, humanity's greatest priority must be unity.

If civil strife or traitors emerged then, it would be extremely fatal—and would disrupt Kamikawa Mitsu's plans.

Imagine: if aliens invaded and a human betrayed them, revealing Initial World secrets—especially information about Kamikawa Mitsu—what if the aliens captured his sister to blackmail him?

To prevent all possible scenarios of betrayal.

He deliberately arrived late to let the beings of Ei Star World recruit humans, using their hands to root out the "fence-sitters" and eradicate the threat once and for all.

The outcome vastly exceeded Kamikawa Mitsu's expectations.

Almost no one betrayed them; only a tiny fraction, negligible in scale.

Kamikawa Mitsu for the first time revised his self-perception—he hadn't realized his persuasive abilities were this strong; after one script after another, the world had already developed profound pride and honor toward the Initial World.

To be born in the Initial World was a glory.

To carry Initial World blood was a pride.

To revere the gods of the Initial World with deep awe, to believe in them from the heart.

Previously, when transcendentalists had not been proven, people's faith in deities was often tinged with selfish motives—like hoping for paradise after death, or praying for protection.

Now, people believed with reverence, sincerely—with admiration, worship, and pride.

Kamikawa Mitsu's arrival brought surprise to all humanity and astonishment to the divine and demonic beings of Ei Star World—they had not expected this world to harbor divine and demonic beings, let alone ones so powerful.

The seven Ashiya Dou figures did not conceal their aura—vast, surging, their power unmasked.

Even a blind man would know they were all Divine Step Three, two of them at Divine Step Three's peak.

Their gazes fixed on Kamikawa Mitsu, standing before the seven like the moon among stars.

The reverence in the seven's eyes made it clear: Kamikawa Mitsu was the strongest among them; if even Divine Step Three's peak beings showed such deference, his realm must have surpassed at least… Immortal Demon!

The lofty Immortal Demon's gaze fixed on Kamikawa Mitsu, his brow slightly furrowed.

Just as they were about to act, Kamikawa Mitsu, then the Immortal Demons of Ei Star World, all sensed something and turned simultaneously toward the directions of the United States and Japan.

There, in Nebraska, USA, and three sea regions of Japan, anomalies erupted—other alien beings were entering this world in succession.

Not just these locations…

In Higashi-Oku, Arakawa Ward, Japan, the portal to the Void Demon World suddenly opened.

One by one, divine and demonic beings of supreme authority stepped forth.

They were the Demon Lord, Void Lord, and other great figures of the Void Demon World—just recently, Mo Lingling of the Void Demon World had received a plea for help from Li Gui, who reported an alien invasion of the Initial World and begged the Demon Lord and others for aid.

Upon hearing the news, the Demon Lord hesitated not at all—he immediately notified all major figures of the Void Demon World and summoned them to assist.

The Initial World had aided the Void Demon World more than once; just consider how Kamikawa Mitsu helped the Void Demon World repel the invasion of the Nether Erosion Realm, preventing its annihilation—such great virtue could not go unrepaid.

"Friends of the Initial World, Mr. Kamikawa Mitsu, we have come to aid you!"

The Demon Lord roared, his voice shaking the heavens.

Bad!

The divine and demonic beings of Ei Star World paled.

"This world has reinforcements—other worlds have opened portals to it! We cannot linger; once these worlds' Immortals and Gods arrive, they will inevitably notice the exceptional physiology of these people. We must act quickly."

One of the divine and demonic beings exclaimed anxiously.

Seven additional divine and demonic beings, plus one Immortal Demon, were already troublesome; now a wave of reinforcements had arrived, and other worlds' beings were about to breach in—acquiring these people would be far harder than before.

In fact, it was nearly impossible.

If fighting broke out, no one knew how many of these people would survive.

"If we can't have them, destroy them!"

The lofty Immortal Demon of Ei Star World spoke coldly, merciless.

As he spoke, unprecedented spatial ripples surged across other anomaly sites in the United States and Japan, gradually clarifying into glimpses of Fragmented worlds—each no less formidable than Ei Star World.

Inside, terrifying divine and demonic power churned and surged straight toward the anomaly, expanding the entire anomaly zone.

Faintly, many powerful divine and demonic beings were seen crossing between worlds.

At that very moment.

The immortal-demon of the Eternal Star Realm acted.
