Chapter 704 - 703: Gabriel’s Plea, Attitude

Due to Li Jing indiscriminately moving all the Supreme God Clan and Xi God Clan to the vicinity, the march towards Xijin Divine Field was quickly completed.

At the same time.

The Hell Demons who were still wreaking havoc in Heaven were hit head-on by the Combat Angels of the Heaven Divine Field.

Devils and Angels.

Both have their constraints.

But there’s no doubt that the Heaven Divine Field, being a part of Heaven, is the home ground of the angels.

It could be said that in an instant.

The situation in the entire heavenly battlefield was reversed.

In the previous battles and conflicts, most of the Heaven Divine Field was nearly bloodbathed, so the surviving angels were all filled with rage, crazily harvesting devils without giving them a chance to escape back to Hell.

At the moment when the Little Universe completely swallowed the Heaven Divine Field, Li Jing could clearly feel all of this.

However, he didn’t care about what would happen to the devils that had attacked Heaven, and at the same time he hoped that Hell would be weakened a bit.

Although the Heaven Divine Field always had top forces reserved during the ongoing war, there were still many angels of inferior god level that died, and the casualties of ordinary combat angels were incalculable.

Indeed.

Ordinary Combat Angels are purely disposable, and the Divine Field can force the redeemed to transform and lose their will at any time.

But after this war.

The redeemed of the Heaven Divine Field had almost all been killed or injured.

Combat Angels too died in batch after batch, and there were very few left.

In such a situation.

It is necessary to let Hell lose some more demons.

in addition to that.

The Heaven Divine Field, which had been pushed to the ground and suffered countless deaths and injuries, also needed to launch a beautiful counterattack, and finally achieve a victorious ending, so as to soothe the "public sentiment" of the Heaven Divine Field amidst the massive casualties.

Without lingering in the Heaven Divine Field.

After the coalition forces of the Supreme God Clan and Xi God Clan completed their march, Li Jing took Lilith and Gabriel across the spatial rift.

When the three arrived at the Xijin Divine Field.

Most of the personnel had already dispersed in search of their own "prey".

Different Divine Fields.

Different situations.

In the Heaven Divine Field, every redeemed can be transformed into a Combat Angel, and before the war began there were a massive number of Combat Angels living or guarding in every corner of Heaven.

Overall, it feels like everyone is a soldier.

Therefore, when facing an invasion that could be foreseen early on, the Heaven Divine Field could deploy personnel to resist at the first instance.

The situation in the Xijin Divine Field is different.

Those that could be called Divine Fields.

First, they must be high-dimensional spaces with a much higher density of Spiritual Qi than ordinary Mini Worlds, and secondly, they must have a vast Earth Realm that has its own heaven and earth.

Xijin Divine Field does not have the "everyone is a soldier" ability like Heaven Divine Field.

So even though they were prepared to resist the invasion, there was no possibility of an immediate clash between the two sides.

After all, even Li Jing himself.

Did not know at what location in the Xijin Divine Field his ripped spatial rift would appear.

He had never been to Xijin Divine Field, but he had simply discerned the spatial coordinates of Xijin Divine Field’s existence through his Watcher’s authority. It would be absurd if he could run into it head-on.

Setting these aside.

As soon as Li Jing, Lilith, and Gabriel arrived at the Xijin Divine Field, they looked up and saw Athena waiting at the exit of the spatial rift.

Obviously she was waiting for him, Li Jing frowned.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Yes."

Athena nodded, hesitated slightly, and said.

"Master, there are several Main Gods and Ancestor Gods from Xi God Field who wish to swear allegiance to me, and hope to come to Xijin Divine Field to participate in the war, what do you think...?"

"You should resolve such matters yourself, there’s no need to ask me."

Li Jing waved his hand, saying.

"Both of us are clear-minded people, swearing loyalty doesn’t hold much significance. Ultimately, oaths can’t restrain gods. The Main and Ancestor Gods are showing up now because they are focused on the Heavenly Divine Domain, seeing there might be real benefits to be reaped so they temporarily change their attitudes. You should just handle them."

"I understand that, thank you for the reminder, Master."

Athena responded, saying.

"I will step back a bit to set the mark, so as not to disturb the Master."

While talking, she glanced at Lilith and Gabriel, standing on either side of Li Jing, slightly nodded to both of them as a signal, turned around and transformed into a streak of golden light that disappeared.

Lilith and Gabriel weren’t very interested in Athena.

Although Athena is quite famous within the God Clan, in front of Lilith and Gabriel -- both at the quasi-Sky Father Level of the Sixteenth Realm -- her strength truly was not worth mentioning. Even Zeus wouldn’t dare make a sound in front of them.

Heaven and Hell, as two of the divine domains, are indeed stronger among the Nine Great Divine Fields.

Speaking of the Divine Domain.

The Divine Domain doesn’t necessarily seem that weak. It definitely has some quasi-Sky Father "players".

But it can’t compare to Heaven and Hell.

If you look into the reason.

It ultimately comes down to the influence of faith.

The rise of materialism and the advancement of different civilizations are problems all god clans face, it’s true.

But many god clans have suffered a lack of faith on the ground that started several eras ago.

Internal competition within the god clans, vying for earthly faith, accounts for part of the reason.

The main reason is that some god clans have made a mess of it.

Falling behind other god clans is one thing, but refusing to listen to the prayers of believers and perform miracles to spread faith, always maintaining an aloof posture, looking down on the secular world and regarding humans and other civilizations as the lowliest ants.

Already being behind and doing such a poor job, their collective strength naturally can’t match up to that of the Heavenly Divine Domain.

Keep in mind.

Even on Earth, where spreading faith is as difficult as reaching Heaven, the faith of the Teachings of God is prevalent in every corner of the Western world.

The "deals" of Hell have even penetrated the Eastern World long ago.

The Divine Domain belongs to the category that has made a mess of things.

Without Li Jing leading them, along with the Universe Great World where both the "fighting king" and "war maniac" Supreme God Clans are charging into the battle, the entire Divine Domain wouldn’t be able to shake the Heavenly Divine Domain even if they mobilized all their forces.

Glancing in the direction where Athena left, Gabriel turned his head in confusion.

"Master, I have a question."

?

Li Jing typed a question mark.

"With your strength, Master, you could easily conquer any divine domain single-handedly, making the corresponding god clan submit and controlling the power of life and death."

Gabriel began to speak.

"Just to achieve the balance of the future there is no need for so much fuss. Why did you choose to pick two god clans and use the method of war to accomplish this?"

"It’s easy to conquer, but managing them afterward is a problem."

Li Jing smiled and said.

"Also, there’s something I haven’t had a chance to tell you and Lilith yet. I’m indeed a true-born Earthling, but I’ve already gone to another spatial plane and become a World Guardian. I’ve only recently returned to the Star Nebula Great World. After assisting the Star Cloud Heavenly Path in resolving the issues of the Upper Three Realms, I was given the authority of a Guardian and asked to resolve the problems of the Nine Great Divine Fields."

Hearing him explain, Gabriel and Lilith were both taken aback.

Li Jing being an Earthling who came back from another world was not what they expected.

After all, they weren’t like Athena.

The latter had "been on" Li Jing and found the terrifying God Power in his body.

The two of them, who had never seen Li Jing use his God Power, never thought he could be a god from another realm.

What was even more surprising to them was.

He was originally the World Guardian of another world...

Being chosen as a World Guardian as a human was unprecedented, and Li Jing was the World Guardian of two concurrent worlds.

This.

Is this really happening?

But after careful consideration, the two of them found nothing amiss.

First of all, Li Jing is powerful enough.

Secondly, he helped Star Cloud Heavenly Path solve the problem of the Upper Three Realms, which gave everything a chance to get back on track.

Star Cloud Heavenly Path disappeared, and the Upper Three Realms closed.

On the surface, the Nine Great Divine Fields didn’t suffer much damage, but the depletion of Spiritual Qi over billions of years has been a big headache for all the God Clans.

Faith Power is not carried within Spiritual Qi.

However, the God Power within them, the God Clans, is carried by Spiritual Qi.

In essence.

The God Power, to the God Clans, is akin to a high concentration of immortal breath.

It not only affects the display of their strength, but also is the key to whether they can progress or not.

For billions of years,

None of the Nine Great Divine Fields lacked "good people" who wished to help Star Cloud Heavenly Path in the Upper Three Realms, but they didn’t have the ability, and they couldn’t even break through the closure of the Upper Three Realms.

Something no one could do for billions of years, Li Jing accomplished with ease.

Isn’t he the most fitting choice for the Watcher?

Lilith was silently amazed, her expression unusual.

"So, Master, your real focus is another world, and you will take us both away from the Star Nebula Great World in the future?"

"Yes."

Li Jing nodded and said.

"Neither of you two would have any objections, would you?"

Before Lilith could speak, Gabriel asked somewhat hopefully.

"Master, in the future... Will you possibly venture into the depths of the void, to seek the world where my father went?"

"Not likely."

Li Jing shook his head and said.

"I’m not interested in that world. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a wonderful place."

Gabriel frowned slightly and said.

"Master, have you ever considered that this world is likely the world where the Eastern deities and top-tier powerhouses, who left when the Upper Three Realms were once a Divine Field, have gone to?"

"I’ve had suspicions, but I’m too lazy to verify."

Li Jing shrugged and said.

"It’s not like they left ages ago or anything. Besides, I don’t even know them, so why should I go looking for them?"

Without waiting for Gabriel to speak, Li Jing said.

"I understand that you hope to bring your Sky Father back. But you have to understand one thing, as a Watcher of the world, I won’t allow Je...hovah to come back. Moreover, as one of the primary culprits behind the Upper Three Realms ordeal, he must face punishment."

Upon hearing this, Gabriel’s face fell and she fell silent.

Seeing this, Lilith blinked a couple of times and said.

"Master, you’re being somewhat cold-blooded with your followers. After all, Je...hovah is her creator, the Sky Father. You could at least coddle her a bit."

Speaking of which, she gave a soft smile.

"But I quite like your approach, Master. Please keep up this straightforward style."

At first, Gabriel was a bit surprised to hear Lilith speaking for her, but as the latter words came out, she gave a cold look over.

Li Jing merely rolled his eyes and changed the subject with.

"We are now in the Shinto realm, said to have eight million gods. Since they can be called gods, there must be a God Pattern. The opportunity is so rare, you two can take some advantage for yourselves, don’t worry about me."

Before he finished speaking, Gabriel shook her head.

"The Shinto realm indeed has eight million gods, but most of them are actually just demons, monsters, ghosts, and beasts with some power, used to make up the numbers. Genuine gods who have a God Pattern are not that many nor powerful. If not for the treasures left behind by gods and powerhouses who left the Upper Three Realms in the past, this realm would be nothing more than a joke."

"Ah... I see."

Li Jing was caught off guard.

His understanding of the Shinto realm was limited to the anecdote of eight million gods. The rest was the recent revelation that they were causing trouble in the Upper Three Realms.

Compared to the other Divine Domains, the XJin Divine Domain is relatively weaker.

That’s quite predictable.

After all, on Earth.

Their faith only exists on the island nation...

What Gabriel says somewhat refreshed his perception.

In the XJin Divine Domain, most of the Eight Million Gods are just powerful Demons, Monsters, Ghosts, and Beasts. They are suitable to pad their numbers...

What’s this?

What’s the point?

To intimidate people?

Intimidate whom?

Surely it can’t be to intimidate other Divine Domains?

After Gabriel’s explanation, Li Jing noticed that despite the five Spirit Weapons Unnamed Taoist Tool was disseminating and harvesting Essence Sources for him, the rising tide of Essence Sources didn’t match the Combat Angels of the Heavenly X Divine Domain.

That’s outrageous.

Can Divine Domains be manipulated?

Li Jing, all the while muttering to himself, had a puzzled look on his face.

The destruction of the Upper Three Realms, without doubt, was the biggest blow dealt on XJin.

Hard to imagine.

Even though they don’t have many true gods, a Divine Domain that pads its numbers with Demons, Monsters, Ghosts and Beasts, can stir up such chaos.

Li Jing looked at Lilith, shaking his head to himself.

"Lilith, as a demon, you have no need for god patterns and only desire soul. Don’t you want to take advantage of the situation and grab some?"

"Indeed, I only need a sufficiently strong soul, but we demons also have principles."

Lilith replied, saying,

"Unless it’s necessary or the benefits are really great, we don’t usually engage in plundering souls. It’s not only laborious but also thankless. For one thing, it would affect our future ’business’, and for another, whether a soul is delicious or not depends on the kind of being from which it came."

She paused for a moment, then explained,

"Including humans, the souls of primates with wisdom are exceptionally delicious to us demons, but not all wise beings’ souls are necessarily good. For example, we demons usually reject the souls of beasts, unless the object is a shapeshifting beast from the Eastern World. As for Demons, Monsters, Ghosts, and Beasts, they rank even lower in our ’menu’. There are many nuances. It’s daunting to explain in detail. A rough understanding will suffice."

After hearing these words, Li Jing nodded.

Indeed there was no need to explain more.

In summary, the XJin Divine Domain was not only despised by Gabriel, but also looked down upon by Lilith.

Without giving it much thought, Li Jing descended to the ground.

Seeing this, Gabriel and Lilith followed suit.

After placing themselves by the side of a lake with a lovely view, Li Jing skillfully set up a long table and laid out tea and snacks.

He really knows how to enjoy himself. Lilith has, somewhat, figured that out.

Gabriel was surprised by the arrangement.

He is the World Watcher, the one destined to initiate war over the Nine Great Divine Fields.

He just invaded the XJin Divine Domain, yet he’s already setting up for a picnic...

Is that appropriate?

As she was bewildered, she abruptly shivered, turning her gaze to the east.

Li Jing and Lilith sensed something at the same time, and they both turned their heads to look.

At the same time.

A beautiful woman with nine slim fox tails tied to her waist gracefully entered their field of vision in mid-air and slowly approached.

"Quasi-Sky Father Level."

Gabriel squints her eyes.

Lilith, however, took a half step back, hiding spinelessly behind Li Jing.

"Master, she’s something else, stronger than both me and Gabriel."
