Celestial Peak

Chapter 544: Warfare

The Deities saw the two figure disappear into nothing. They could tell, in a split second of seeing her, that it was their creator, the one who crafted their flesh from the blood of the Ancestors. They all fell into tears seeing her disappear.

Some questioned the legitimacy of what they saw, looking around, they saw holding their emotion back only to fail and break into tears. The Deities, the ones standing at the peak of power all shed tears.

There are those who tried to approach the Mountain, seeing if they could see the one who came before. But they could not even approach it any closer than a hundred meters from below. An invisible force was keeping them away.

Bai Xue could hear the falling of their tears really clearly and sensing the hundreds that had gathered on the base of the mountain, she sighed, "So Predecessor Chun didn't want to have them approach."

Though the one who erected the barrier was already gone it still remained erected without a problem, 'She's weakened but she's still so impressive. Not even a quarter of her strength but this barrier can probably last for the next hundred years, well, if no one breaks it from the outside, that is this seems similar is it the same that Ling used when he tried to take the Origin General with him?'

The barrier was strikingly similar. But Bai Xue didn't want to think about it any further as it left a sour taste in her mouth. She was still absolutely livid that Wang Ling chose to die in the past, 'Peh, I want to rip his body limb from limb again.'

She cursed but proceeded to gently carry Wang Ling from the ground. Her soft tail wrapped around his body and then she used the remaining tail to carry the fallen Ancestors. The Five Ancestors of the Deities were lifted from the ground, they all had tear streaks going down from the corners of their eyes, "Don't worry, children, you can cry all you like." She stated ever so softly to them.

Their immense sadness was out of this world. Even though they unconscious, they knew what happened, more so than the other Deities, even.

Bai Xue's body slowly grew to five meters and then as she walked down the Mountain and reached the edge of the barrier, she erased the barrier and from afar, Deities came flooding to her direction.

"Mother!" the four acting leaders of the Deities all simultaneously shouted out to Bai Xue sensing her presence. They all stopped just ten meters away from her like they had always done.

"I am fine, it was simply a scuffle from the past. If you felt what happened, then, yes, it was the previous Mother of Beast who I had fought. She it is a long story, I will tell it to everyone later, first, I need to take care of them."

Bai Xue raised the four Ancestors behind her.

"The Ancestors, returned? Wait, what happened to them? Are they injured?" Jel and Tel spoked in unison.

Every single Deity raised their brows. It had been several millennia since the Ancestors disappeared, as to why, it remained unknown, only that they suddenly disappeared soon after the Deity Paradise was created. But now, they returned.

"I will tell everyone the details about this matter for later. And yes, it has something to do with my previous incarnation, they were controlled and had to be sent to another dimension with her while she's tainted with twisted obsessions."

Bai Xue left as those words were heard. The Deities Wang Ling for everyone to see. Everyone gasped and Bai Xue slowly rose from the ground, "I will address the matters of the Ancestors and my Predecessor for later. First, I must go and tend to their wounds, also Acting Leaders."

"Yes?" five stepped up and took a knee to Bai Xue.

"Go and gather everyone. Those who are in hibernation are to be waken up, and those who needs training are to be called in action. It is time for the Deities to prepare ourselves into stepping into the light."

Bai Xue left the Deities confused, but some of them had a quick shift their expressions. From depression to that of excitement and anticipation, their preparation for the last 15,000 years was about to be activated.

"Everyone! We're going to return to the battlefield!" Akil raised his hands in celebration. After all this time, they are finally going out and like the Mother promised them, they would be going out to a battlefield. 

Olivia standing next to Akil tapped his shoulders, "Yeah, that is good and all, but, now, I am going to advice you to finally go and call your child back. We're not going to war while that kid is running loose outside, the others won't be able to stand with the Wang Family and those guys are the strongest amongst the Mortal Races." 

Akil, looked at Olivia and was about to say something, but Quinn glared at him, saying, "Do it, Akil, if you don't I'm going to tell on you to the White Tiger Ancestor Lixus if he learns a member of his Race left while under your watch. By then, there would be no saving your son and maybe half your race."

BOOM!

The ground caved and cracked and without a moment's notice, a golden portal appeared atop the Deity Paradise. Akil left without missing a beat.

Olivia and the other Acting Leaders watched him disappear and then, both Jel and Tel started floating, "Olivia you're taking over the duties of the White Tigers. Go and gather the World Treasures and secure the Eggs."

"What? Why do I have to do his job?"

"You were the one who thought of sparing his son. He left because of your idea."

"What? You were going to tell that to him anyway."

"But, we didn't so, go now. We still have to secure the Rations and so many other miscellaneous tasks and Quinn and the Phoenixes are dealing with the Weapons. Good luck, Olivia."

The pair of Black Turtle left without turning back.

"Shit me and my kind-heartedness." Olivia cursed underneath her breath.

The Deities started preparing for the war, not knowing, that something else was already beginning across the Universe. 

Purple light, tens of thousands of them across hundreds of worlds shot up to the sky. Other than the Seven Lowest Worlds, every world with an Abyssal Crystal activated and summoned giant Abyssal Portals.

Somewhere in the Cosmos, walking in the Cosmic Road, there was the bearer of Wang Ling's face, the Origin General, or otherwise known as the Emperor of Death, whispering to himself, "Finish the fight before it even begins. That is how a war is won."

He said to himself as he looked into the center of the Cosmos and into the Origin World.

"Gather them all." He said as the Abyssal Portals across the Cosmos began to pour Abyssal Demons into different worlds.
