Chapter 2907: Luo Sha's Thoughts
Since the war between the Heavenly Court and Hell broke out, the situation had grown increasingly intense, with more and more cultivators from both sides being thrown into the battlefield.
Initially, some had predicted that in the early stages of the war, large-scale divine battles would not erupt between the two factions.
But the reality was different. In just a few decades, the number of gods who had fallen from both the Heavenly Court and Hell had reached double digits. And these were true gods.
The number of fallen false gods was countless.
Among the nine major clans of the Ten Clans of Hell, a large number of gods had gathered at the Shura Star Pillar Realm, ready to head to the battlefield at any moment.
Within the Shura Star Pillar Realm, there was a camp belonging to the Rakshasa Clan.
Luo Sha stood outside a glittering divine temple, wearing a crystal crown, a light green divine robe, and holding an ancient staff in her hand as she gazed into the starry sky. In the sky, enormous black spots floated.
Each black spot was an ancient civilization continent, connected to form a starry sky defense line that blocked the unstoppable Shura Star Pillar Realm.
The star region between the Heavenly Court's starry sky defense line and the Shura Star Pillar Realm was the Starry Sky Battlefield.
On the battlefield, fierce battles erupted daily, and large numbers of corpses were transported back.
On the altar outside the temple, the bodies of Rakshasa cultivators were piled high, with priests chanting ancient scriptures. Then, the altar ignited, its flames blazing brightly.
Standing beside Luo Sha was a beautiful woman in a snow-white sacred robe. She was the Qi Princess of one of the seven great divine kingdoms of the Rakshasa Clan, the Yuegu Divine Kingdom, and had been a close friend of Luo Sha since childhood.
Although the Qi Princess was not as outstanding as Luo Sha, she was still exceptionally talented, having reached the Supreme Realm of the Great Saint level.
The Qi Princess smiled and said, "There's no need to be so sentimental. Although our casualties are heavy, isn't it the same for the Heavenly Court? Once we break through the starry sky defense line, won't all the resources on those ancient civilization continents be ours for the taking? By then, we'll only grow stronger."
Luo Sha continued to gaze at the starry sky, unable to cheer up, as if speaking to herself, "The Heavenly River has stopped flowing, and the Gate of Destiny has collapsed. These are clearly ominous omens in the world. The future may be more dangerous than we imagine."
"No matter how great the danger, my father and the others will bear it. Why should we worry so much?"
A standard enchanting smile, typical of Rakshasa women, appeared on the Qi Princess's exquisite, snow-white face. The Rakshasa soldiers guarding the temple and altar were all stunned, as if their souls had been stolen.
In terms of beauty, Luo Sha was naturally superior.
But in recent years, Luo Sha had been smiling less and less. As a result, the Qi Princess seemed more vibrant and alluring.
Feng Qingli, a disciple of Heavenly Sound Divine Mother, crossed the white stone square and quickly arrived beneath the temple, holding a divine message talisman in her hand.
"Your Highness, the Divine Prince has sent news from Xinghuantian."
"Calculating the time, the Linglong Conference should have ended. It's about time for news to arrive."
Luo Sha extended her jade-white hand to take it.
Feng Qingli did not hand her the divine message talisman. Her expression was rather strange as she said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Luo Sha had an excellent relationship with Feng Qingli and knew she was a straightforward person. She had never seen her act so secretive before.
The Qi Princess chuckled and said, "Qingli, since when did you start playing these games?"
Luo Sha said, "Tell me the good news first."
"The Caiyi God fell at Xinghuantian, killed by Xue Jue War God. And Xue Jue War God went to Xinghuantian to rendezvous with Zhang Ruochen," Feng Qingli said.
A loud buzz rang in Luo Sha's mind. "Zhang Ruochen has appeared?"
Feng Qingli nodded. "Zhang Ruochen and Xue Jue War God entered the First Divine Maiden City together and even killed the divine general under Qingxuan Ling God, Taluo."
Luo Sha broke into a smile. "Well killed."
Her smile could captivate all beings, her laughter sweet and melodious, carrying a magical charm.
The Rakshasa soldiers were mesmerized, lost in a daze, feeling that no more beautiful sight could exist in the world.
"This Zhang Ruochen, is he a cat reincarnated? Even Qingtian personally made a move, yet he still managed to survive," the Qi Princess said. Then, remembering Luo Sha's relationship with Zhang Ruochen, she quickly blinked apologetically.
Luo Sha was in a good mood and didn't hold it against her. "Being able to kill Taluo shows he's not only alive and well but hasn't lost all his cultivation."
"Killing a false god isn't much of an achievement. If Zhang Ruochen really wants revenge, why didn't he kill Qingxuan Ling God?" The Qi Princess tilted her neck arrogantly. "In my opinion, Zhang Ruochen has probably turned into a false god, his talent wasted, his potential lost. How could he still be worthy of you, Luo Sha?"
Luo Sha had similar concerns, her brows furrowed.
However, what she worried about was that Zhang Ruochen might become disheartened and lose his drive to improve.
Luo Sha asked, "Is the bad news this?"
Feng Qingli's face showed annoyance. "I think the Qi Princess is right. How is Zhang Ruochen worthy of you? I should ask our master to beg Fulun Shenzun to cancel this marriage."
Luo Sha smiled sweetly. "Even if Zhang Ruochen has turned into a false god, I believe that by cultivating his spiritual power alone, he can still become a Tai Shang in the future and remain one of the strongest in the world."
Feng Qingli shoved the divine message talisman into Luo Sha's hand. "See for yourself."
Luo Sha took the divine message talisman and looked at it.
On the talisman, a segment of images condensed by Luo Shengtian's spiritual power appeared.
In the image, Zhang Ruochen was holding the hand of a veiled, graceful woman, exuding an imposing aura as he said domineeringly, "There's no need to hold the Linglong Conference tomorrow. Bai Qinger will be my wife, Zhang Ruochen. If you want to compete with me, you don't have the strength."
At the same time, Luo Shengtian's furious voice came from the talisman: "Break off the engagement! Break off the engagement! It must be broken off! He's already engaged, yet this brat acts so arrogantly for a woman from the Goddess Twelve Pavilions. Where does that leave you? Where does that leave the face of my Tianluo Divine Kingdom? Break off the engagement! Break off the engagement!"
Feng Qingli said, "See? I bet Zhang Ruochen spent these decades in the Goddess Twelve Pavilions, living it up with Bai Qinger. Poor princess, you led an army to personally attack the Kunlun Realm to avenge him, yet he didn't even send a single letter back."
The Qi Princess licked her lips and giggled. "This Zhang Ruochen is interesting. His cultivation is crippled, yet he's still so delusionally confident. Luo Sha, you should just break off the engagement. Let him marry that lowly woman from the Goddess Twelve Pavilions. They're quite a match."
Luo Sha turned to look at her.
Although her gaze wasn't cold, it made the Qi Princess shiver all over, her legs trembling involuntarily beneath her skirt.
She had never seen such a terrifying look in Luo Sha's eyes.
After all, she was only a Great Saint, while Luo Sha was a god.
Luo Sha crushed the divine message talisman into powder. "You underestimate Zhang Ruochen too much, and you underestimate Bai Qinger too much. What kind of person is Bai Qinger? The disciple of the Star Sea Fisherman. A thousand years ago, the moment she appeared, she stirred up blood and chaos in Hell, making even the Destiny Temple look embarrassed."
"How many men in this eon could catch her eye?"
"Do you think she agreed to marry Zhang Ruochen because he is the grandson of Xue Jue War God? If that were the case, why didn't she marry my imperial brother? His background is even greater than Zhang Ruochen's."
"It can only mean that Zhang Ruochen is outstanding enough to have won her over."
Luo Sha sensed something and looked up at the starry sky, noticing that a Star Soul Divine Throne had dimmed.
"Another true god has fallen," the Qi Princess exclaimed.
What was going on these past few days? True gods were falling one after another.
Were true gods so easy to kill?
Luo Sha said, "It's the Yan God! It seems something has happened at Xinghuantian again."
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
...
One divine message talisman after another flew in from the starry sky.
"Xue Jue War God fought with Duotian Shenhuang at the Moyan Star. Stars shattered, and a divine source self-destructed. It was a life-and-death battle."
"At the Camel Star Cloud, Zhang Ruochen captured the Yan God!"
The Qi Princess and Feng Qingli were shocked by the successive pieces of information, their hearts pounding like thunder.
"How is that possible? The Yan God is an old middle-rank god who cultivated the 'Three Corpses Refining God.' How powerful must Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power be to capture him?" the Qi Princess said.
Feng Qingli said, "That's impossible! Zhang Ruochen became a god through spiritual power only a few decades ago. Even if he could cultivate his spiritual power to the seventy-first rank, that would already be remarkable. To contend with a middle-rank god, his spiritual power would need to reach at least the seventy-fourth rank."
Luo Sha's beautiful eyes shimmered, countless thoughts racing through her mind. She smiled and said, "You two are just Great Saints, and you think you can fathom gods?"
Suddenly, her smile faded, and she said solemnly, "This is bad!"
"What's bad?" Feng Qingli asked.
Luo Sha said, "The Goddess Twelve Pavilions is about to face a great disaster. It seems I'll have to go there."
The Qi Princess and Feng Qingli understood the key point. The latter said, "Since you know the Goddess Twelve Pavilions is about to face a great disaster, why would you wade into this muddy water?"
Luo Sha smiled. "Because if Bai Qinger wants to survive this crisis, she'll have to beg me. Such a delightful prospect—if I don't go, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
...
In the Three-Life Realm.
Night Travel Master reported all the news from Xinghuantian to Xue Jue War God.
Xue Jue War God stroked his chin. "So he was going to kill Duotian. Not bad. If he succeeds, aside from a few formidable characters below the Infinite Realm, all other great gods will have to fear me a little when they see me."
Night Travel Master said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to kill him. Duotian Shenhuang is the son of Shang Tian and the ruler of the Dashang Divine Kingdom."
Xue Jue War God glared at him. "What do you know? Desolate Tian is a cunning old fox. Since he decided to act, he must have the certainty to kill Duotian, even if it means mutual destruction."
Night Travel Master broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "Your disciple's grandson meant that Shang Tian would surely sense it and intervene."
"Don't worry. In other places, Duotian might not die, but in the Xinghuantian star region, even if Shang Tian tries to rescue him, he'll be blocked. Why do you think the news was delayed for so long before coming out?"
Xue Jue War God smiled, then turned serious. "But since Ruochen has decided to take Bai Qinger, he's tied himself to the Goddess Twelve Pavilions. The days ahead won't be easy for them. I wonder if the identities of the Star Sea Fisherman's disciple and the Heavenly Mother's divine envoy will be useful."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "We still need a strong figure to sit there. Take my Grand Clan Leader's token and go to the Wanqi Blood Sea. Hand it to Yu Jin Heavenly God and tell him to go to Xinghuantian to help out. Remember, tell him to go in person."
The Wanqi Blood Sea was one of the seven great blood seas of the Blood Heaven Tribe.
Yu Jin Heavenly God was a great god of the Tai Xu Realm, a name that thundered through the Undying Blood Clan. Night Travel Master had heard of him. With a face full of envy and a flattering smile, he said, "Grandmaster's care for Master is truly heartfelt and rare in the world. With Yu Jin Heavenly God stepping in, even if White Queen doesn't want to marry her daughter to Master, she'll have no choice!"
"You're the smartest one in the entire Blood Absolute Family," Xue Jue War God said with a hearty laugh.
