Myriad Gods Hall was last attacked by Bai Yi and Li, among others, who left He Tu of Divine Honor the sole survivor after ensuring all others perished. They even tampered with the bodies, which nearly exploded and injured Sun Wukong and his companions upon their arrival. However, while Sun Wukong and his companions were fortunate enough to escape unharmed, Myriad Gods Hall was razed to the ground. Just like Annihilation Palace had been, after the great explosion, while the palace lay in ruins, the World Suppressing Stele remained undamaged, now standing solitary within the crater formed by the blast.
And now, at the edge of that crater, representatives from all three allied forces—the Ancient Primordial World, Canglan Water Realm, and Myriad Gods Hall—had arrived. Since the end of the discussions last night, Zhibei immediately led the people from Canglan Water Realm and the Ancient Primordial World to Myriad Gods Hall. Although the Ancient Primordial World was also in danger, guarded only by Cheng Qian, Soul Devouring Monk appeared quite reassured. Thus, they all hurried to Myriad Gods Hall because, with it currently unguarded, any mishap could reduce their tripartite alliance to merely two.
Furthermore, with the Divine Honor He Tu still in the hands of Myriad Demons Country, if Myriad Gods Hall were to fall, He Tu might be transported back to Myriad Gods Hall, but it was more likely that the people of Myriad Demons Country would kill him outright. The death of a Domain Lord Level powerhouse would be an enormous loss to Myriad Gods Hall. So, for the sake of He Tu's life alone, Zhibei couldn't afford to see Myriad Gods Hall eliminated. As long as Myriad Gods Hall stood, He Tu would retain his value for use.
"Elder Soul Devourer, Brother Ghost Jade, thank you both. You've seen the state of Myriad Gods Hall. The three of us now are the only combat power left in Myriad Gods Hall, so we shall not accompany you. However, if everything is prepared, please inform us. Although Myriad Gods Hall has suffered great losses, we will surely participate in the final battle!"
As he spoke, Zhibei bowed solemnly to Soul Devouring Buddha and Ghost Jade. Although Myriad Gods Hall had always ranked last among the Six Great Divine Nations, it was nonetheless a sovereign Divine Kingdom. Moreover, many of Myriad Gods Hall's formidable individuals held divine positions. The people of Myriad Gods Hall always considered themselves the orthodox deities. Every powerhouse who reached the status of Nine Patterns Supreme was granted a divine position that matched their abilities. Although these divine positions did not have any practical use, they were a symbol of honor.
For example, Po Jun and Feng Xi of the current Myriad Gods Hall, Po Jun's divine position being the God of Slaughter, master of mayhem, wielding the Twin Swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, while Feng Xi's position was the God of Whistling Wind, master of wind, skilled at using various wind techniques to dominate, defeat, and capture his enemies. The captured He Tu was of Divine Honor, one who oversaw all gods. Therefore, for He Tu, the three individuals from Zhibei paid considerable attention.
Soul Devourer shook his head slightly, saying, "Master Zhibei, rest assured, this final victory will indeed belong to us. Although the Ancient Primordial World is not a Divine Kingdom, we too have our treasures that have remained unused because the time was not ripe. Now, the opportunity has come."
"Oh? Elder Soul Devourer, you have a contingency plan? To my shame, despite being this generation's Zhibei, I have not only failed to lead everyone to victory but have also ended up in such dire straits," he said with a laugh, "Victory and defeat are common in warfare, and besides, this is merely a temporary predicament. The Myriad Demons Country is ruthless, and the Heavenly Dao is no more. In that case, Master Zhibei, could you please give me the names and birthdays of all your fallen comrades from Myriad Gods Hall? Even better if there's anything closely related to them!"

Zhibei asked with some confusion, "What use do you have for these things, Elder Soul Devourer?" This time, Soul Devouring Monk said mysteriously, "It is not yet time to speak of this matter. Master Zhibei, just give these to me. When the time comes, I shall present you with a great surprise!" Zhibei was quite moved by Soul Devouring Monk's words, so he passed on the names and birthdays of the deceased from Myriad Gods Hall to the monk. After hesitating for a moment, Zhibei pulled out an object from within his robes and said to Soul Devouring Monk, "If there's anything closely related to them, then it would only be this object!"
Soul Devouring Monk received the object and expressed great joy, "Good, good, I never expected to find a Soul Crystal Stone. Presumably, they all left a trace of their soul imprints in it? With this item, our chances increase substantially!" Zhibei nodded, intending to ask more questions, but Soul Devouring Monk did not wait for him to speak further and took his leave with a bow, leading his people away. Watching the crowd heading towards Primordial Palace, Zhibei sighed inwardly, then uttered, "Three Lifetimes Annihilation Formation."
Po Jun and Feng Xi didn't hesitate for a moment; in a flash, they appeared in the crater, sitting in a triangle formation around the World Suppressing Stele, each at a vertex, cross-legged. Then, they each extended their arms, with the palms facing those of the others. Instantly, a strange aura emanated from their bodies.
Soon, the aura emanating from Zhibei and the others connected, encasing both themselves and the World Suppressing Stele within it. Strangely, as the odd aura intensified, their figures and the World Suppressing Stele began to fade gradually. When their forms had completely vanished, a voice from the void declared, "Before the decisive battle begins, comprehend the World Suppressing Stele, cultivate!"
Turning our attention back to the Netherworld, after a tense morning with battles between Ye Wu and Wu Ming, tranquility once again fell upon the small grove. Following the deliberation among Sun Wukong, Ming Wanjie, and Dao Zhun, it was decided that both groups would rest and recuperate here—a decision made partly in anticipation of the arrangements by Soul Devouring Quiet Jade and others in hiding, and partly to allow better coordination between the two forces. Initially, the Netherworld had arrived with twenty individuals, but after Xi Zhao's departure, only nineteen remained. However, now that Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, Ye Zi, Ye Wu, Ming Tiekuang, Dragon Emperor, and Hidden Mountain had joined, the number of people on the side of the Netherworld might not have increased, but their combat power certainly had.
As the old saying goes, "A thousand troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find," and indeed, whether it was the Dragon Emperor or Ming Tiekuang, they were both supreme fighters. Moreover, now that Ye Wu had been successfully resurrected and, working in tandem with Ye Zi, even the Dragon Emperor had to avoid their fierce synergy. It's worth noting that upon resurrection, Ye Wu did not merge with Ye Zi; instead, Dao Zhun had prepared a brand-new body for him, made entirely from a segment of the Wonderful Bodhi Tree, Thus, Ye Zi's true form should now be identified as the seven-colored phoenix-calling Parasol Tree, no longer a twin entity. Benefiting from Dao Zhun and Sun Wukong, Ye Wu's very essence had transformed into a Chaos Attribute Ancient Bodhi Tree, unprecedented in nature.
Moreover, inexplicably, even though his true form was a Wood Attribute Bodhi Tree, Ye Wu's life-bound attribute was fire. Therefore, the Fire Phoenix spirit that Ye Zi had previously summoned naturally went to Ye Wu, and now Ye Zi had become a pure support, solely responsible for healing and recovery. Far from being dissatisfied, he actually rather enjoyed this role. In his own words, "I am a living Bodhisattva who relieves suffering. My brother is quite capable of handling the rougher tasks."
In the following three whole days, aside from necessary patrols, everyone seized every opportunity to get acquainted and synchronize with each other. After all, the upcoming battle was assuredly a fight to the death, and these people here would be the ones to determine whether or not one could survive and leave this place.
Time flew by, and just after midnight on the third day, a majestic voice suddenly reverberated throughout the Patrolling Celestial World, "Myriad Demons Country has successfully defended the Genesis Palace for three days. The Genesis Divine Nation failed to recapture the Genesis Palace within that time and is thus eliminated, losing the qualification for the trial. Henceforth, the new Six Great Divine Nations are established, namely Myriad Demons Country, Netherworld World, Fangcun Spirit Realm, Myriad Gods Hall, Ancient Primordial World, and Canglan River Realm. Myriad Spirits Realm, Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, Genesis Divine Nation, and Annihilation Demon Nation are eliminated. Effective immediately, the competition for Divine Nation ranking begins, with no time limit until only one power remains in the Patrolling Celestial World. The one with the most palaces will be ranked first in the trial; if the number of palaces is equal, the entity with more survivors will be first. If the number of palaces and survivors is the same, then the number of enemies slain will be considered. Additionally, from this moment on, no one is allowed to damage the World Suppressing Stele; violators will face severe punishment."
The voice of the Heavenly Patroller echoed three times in succession, and its words brought shock to everyone.
The Genesis Divine Nation had really been eliminated? That was simply unbelievable. The mighty Genesis Divine Nation, just like that, eliminated? Of the six remaining forces, both the Netherworld World and Myriad Demons Country possessed two palaces each. However, when it comes to numbers, the Netherworld World actually held the advantage, as altogether, Myriad Demons Country had only twenty members, whereas the Netherworld World had twenty-two or three. Although Xi Zhao, Old Wang, and the Evil Monarch had betrayed the Netherworld World, they were still counted as members of Huangquan World.
