Wu Shattered Star River

Near Mount Miaoyin in the Miaoyin Realm, a little girl was catching fish in a pool by a stream. A huge black cat sat cross-legged by the side, and an old woman watched nearby.

The little girl caught a big fish and happily climbed out of the river, looking at the big black cat and saying, "Dahei, I caught a big fish for you, eat it, eat it."

The big black cat meowed happily twice, then swallowed the big fish in one gulp. The little girl watched Dahei enjoying the fish, her eyes full of smiles.

The old woman walked over and placed a hand on the little girl's shoulder, and the little girl's wet clothes were immediately dried.

The old woman touched the little girl's head and said, "Little Ancestor, it's time to go back."

"Okay!"

The little girl climbed onto the back of the big black cat, patted its head and said, "Go, Dahei, let's go back!"

The big black cat meowed and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards a distant mountain. The old woman tapped her toes and followed behind.

"咻!"

Just as they were about to reach the mountain, three figures suddenly flew from afar. The old woman's face immediately filled with vigilance, but after seeing who it was, a smile appeared on her face.

The little girl was startled and turned her head to take a look, then her face immediately lit up and she waved her little hands, saying, "Big brother, big brother!"

"咻!"

A figure suddenly accelerated and arrived beside the little girl. The little girl leaped from the back of the big black cat and threw herself into the arms of the young man in front of her, saying, "Big brother, why were you gone for so long? I missed you so much."

Jiang Han affectionately stroked the little girl's head and said, "Big brother also missed Xiaoyuer."

Xuanji and Shui Duo'er flew down and landed nearby, Shui Duo'er bowed respectfully to the old woman.

Jiang Han chatted with Xiaoyuer for a few words, then walked towards Mount Miaoyin. On the way, Xiaoyuer chattered non-stop, extremely happy.

The old woman saw this scene and a faint smile appeared on her face. Xiaoyuer and Jiang Han really had a good relationship. She had lived in Mount Miaoyin for so long and had never seen her so close to anyone, not even the Miaoyin Sect Leader.

Once they reached the Miaoyin Realm, Jiang Han took out many strange spiritual fruits from his spatial ring. These were actually purchased from the interfaces he passed by, purely to coax Xiaoyuer...

Xiaoyuer ate happily. Jiang Han took her to see the Miaoyin Sect Leader, who casually chatted with Jiang Han for a few words.

The Miaoyin Sect Leader didn't have much to say, but Jiang Han wanted to ask a few questions. He asked, "Sect Leader, do you think the Heavenly Court has any hope of holding on?"

Jiang Han no longer believed the words of Tianji Daozun so much. The Miaoyin Sect Leader's battle strength was comparable to Xuelun, and Xiaoyuer's mother seemed to be even stronger. Jiang Han really wanted to hear the judgment of such top experts.

The Miaoyin Sect Leader pondered for a moment and said, "It's very difficult. If there are no accidents, I'm afraid the Heavenly Court will fall this time."

"Ah?"

Jiang Han's expression changed slightly. He said, "If the Azure Emperor revives, is there still no hope?"

"No!"

The Miaoyin Sect Leader shook her head and said, "The success rate of the Azure Emperor's revival is estimated to be very high, after all, he has obtained so many Bodhi leaves, and your father has also been preparing for this for many years."

"It's just that the Azure Emperor only has a remnant soul left. Even if he revives and reshapes his body, it will take at least several years, or even decades, to restore his peak battle strength."

"To take a step back—even if the Azure Emperor's battle strength returns to its peak, it is about the same as the Jade Emperor's. The God Lord and Demon Ancestor are veteran experts, and their comprehensive battle strength is actually above the Azure Emperor and Jade Emperor. The God Race and Demon Race have so many more supreme experts, how can the Heavenly Court not be defeated?"

Jiang Han's heart sank. What the Miaoyin Sect Leader said was reasonable and well-founded, and not just random talk. It seemed that the Heavenly Court was in danger this time?

Why did Tianji Daozun say that the Heavenly Court was stable this time? That the sky wouldn't fall?

He retained a glimmer of hope in his heart and asked, "Sect Leader, you said unless there are accidents? What kind of situation would that be? The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall intervening?"

The Miaoyin Sect Leader pondered for a moment and said, "There are only three possibilities for an accident. First, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall intervenes. Second, the Azure Emperor's battle strength not only recovers but also soars. Third, other forces intervene to help the Heavenly Court."

Jiang Han was a little surprised. The first and second could be understood, but what did the third mean?

He asked, "Other forces? What other forces are there besides the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?"

"Hehe!"

The Miaoyin Sect Leader smiled and said, "This world actually has some hidden forces. For example, aren't the Blood River of Lament and the Land of Eternal Night two great forces?"

Jiang Han's face was immediately filled with astonishment, and he asked, "There are great forces in the Blood River of Lament?"

"Of course!"

The Miaoyin Sect Leader smiled and said, "There is a large clan in the Blood River of Lament, with very strong strength. However, they rely on the Blood River of Lament to survive. If outsiders do not enter it, they will not attack, and they basically will not come out."

"You must have heard of the Land of Eternal Night. There are many large clans inside, and the number of Heavenly Emperor-level experts is no less than ten. The Eternal Night Emperor's battle strength is also not weaker than the God Lord and Demon Ancestor."

"In addition... there is another great force called White Jade City!"

"White Jade City?"

A look of shock appeared in Jiang Han's eyes. He had never heard of this force. According to the Miaoyin Sect Leader, this force was not weaker than the Heavenly Immortal Court, the Heavenly Demon Cave, the God King Mountain, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?

Jiang Han said, "Sect Leader, what is the strength of this White Jade City? Where is their sphere of influence?"

"Hehe!"

The Miaoyin Sect Leader smiled and said, "You don't need to know this for the time being, but White Jade City is impossible to help you. The two forces of the Land of Eternal Night and the Blood River of Lament, I estimate you can't move them either. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall will not intervene, so... the Heavenly Court is still in great danger this time."

The glimmer of hope that Jiang Han had managed to ignite was extinguished again. He didn't ask any more questions, as asking more wouldn't help.

He took Xiaoyuer down and quietly waited for news from the Longevity Heavenly Emperor and the Southern Heavenly Emperor.

These two had secretly gone to Mount Ling to pay respects to the Buddha, to see if they could persuade the Buddha to take action.

In the next few days, Jiang Han took Xiaoyuer to play around in the Miaoyin Realm, accompanying her in her frolics.

Xiaoyuer also didn't know what strange disease she had contracted, but she never grew up. This matter probably had to wait until Xiaoyuer's mother came back to resolve it?

After accompanying Xiaoyuer for five days, Shui Duo'er came today, bringing a message from the Longevity Heavenly Emperor.

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor asked Jiang Han to meet in the Sumeru Realm near Mount Ling, to prepare to set off.

"A fruitless return?"

Jiang Han sighed. If they had persuaded the Buddha, the Longevity Heavenly Emperor wouldn't have asked him to meet so quickly.

It seemed that the Buddha hadn't agreed, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall wouldn't intervene. The Longevity Heavenly Emperor was preparing to go deep behind enemy lines.

"Xiaoyuer, I have to go!"

Jiang Han reluctantly stroked Xiaoyuer's head. The latter immediately grabbed Jiang Han's hand, raised her head, and asked, "Big brother, why are you leaving again? When will you be back?"

"When?"

Jiang Han frowned. He didn't know when he would be able to return this time.

Judging from the Miaoyin Sect Leader's tone, the Heavenly Court's destruction was almost certain this time.

Once the Heavenly Court was destroyed, where would they, the human race, go?
