Chapter 1324: 18.162 First Grey Star - A Night Invasion.
Hei Anjing checked on their injuries and after a while sent the elders to rest. Although not very deadly, their wounds had accrued enough to become infected. To help them heal overnight, he gave them some prescription beverages to drink. Hei Anjing was left in charge of everyone's safety in the capital tonight.
In order to prepare them for the last phase of the disaster on the land, he pledged to keep them all night.
All the vessels with gods living in them are the ones that are still in the tent with Hei Anjing. System Yang, on the other hand, is still in the small world, raising his master's offspring. In front of them, they were anticipating the sovereign's next order. Only Leica, Lu Shang, and Ji Yoonjun remain; they have just come back inside the tent containing Hei Anjing and Lu Wangle's egg.
The three bow down to the attractive man in front of them.
"Lord Hei/Master/Venerable Lord!"

Hei Anjing said, "Stand up. How are the restrictions of the world on you?"
"Using the natal weapon is the limit. Divinity can't be used," Lu Shang said.
Leica said, "Same as above."
"I can use a bit of divinity as support. As long as I am not the main fighter, I can use a quarter of my full abilities," Ji Yoonjun answered.
Hei Anjing mumbled, "Indirectly, is it? Hm~ tomorrow the battle will be more chaotic than today and more dimensional monsters than before. There would definitely be monsters slipping out of the net, but there is nothing to worry about. The support characters can handle those."
While they waited for Hei Anjing to finish sipping, the three stayed silent. They were aware that they could only use their abilities in this lower realm with his approval.
Like them, Hei Anjing had limitations, but if he really wanted to travel, the world could not completely block a sovereign god like him. This God of Destruction is simply too lethargic at the moment to engage in such a conflict. He is not interested in becoming involved in Wars of Mortals since he finds it dull. In addition, he is holding out for his guy to emerge from the Ruin of Time.
He is holding back excessively because of this.
Hei Anjing said, "Same as before. Unless the world is in danger, using divinity is impossible—directly, that is. But what if you allowed the original owners of your vessels to wield your divinity as a form of blessing? Maybe that will be allowed~."
The three gods immediately understood what Hei Anjing wanted to say and kept the thoughts in their minds.
Hei Anjing said, "Okay, take a rest. Tomorrow you guys will be the busiest. Oh, right. Ming, say for a bit there is something I need to give you."
Lu Shang and Ji Yoonjun said their farewells and left the tent. Outside the tent, Doctor Hei and the others are waiting for them.
Doctor Hei said, "Is it done? Can we go to rest now?"
"Hm." Ji Yoonjun saluted Lu Shang before leaving with Doctor Hei. Lu Ming, Mo Yuhan, and Su Jin went to Lu Shang.
Lu Ming said, "Brother, did Lord Mo say something important?"
"He said tomorrow will be the start of the toughest battle. You three need to be firm. There would be more enemies far stronger than the one we fought this morning," Lu Shang said.
Su Jin asked, "What about the arrangements tomorrow? Do I still need to stay at the rear?"
"Since your element conflicts with Xiao Ming, staying at the rear is good, but in the warzone, everything can happen. If you feel like stepping forward is better, then... don't hesitate. Believe in yourself," Lu Shang said.
Su Jin smiled and said, "I will!"
"Mo Yuhan. Among the three of you, your opportunity is the strongest. Don't waste it," Lu Shang said as he played Mo Yuhan's shoulder.
Given that Mo Yuhan's opportunity comes directly from Hei Anjing, the God of Destruction and one of the Sovereigns in Vearth, it might be argued that he is the strongest of the three young people. Conversely, Su Jin's chance came from the new sea deity Lanyu, even though Mo Xuejing was the one who propelled him ahead; the latter did not provide him much.
He was given the same opportunities as Gong Lu Ming, the main character. There are boundaries on this planet. Lu Shang said that Mo Yuhan is luckier than his buddies for this reason. He just can not control it to the fullest extent.
Mo Yuhan looked determined and responded, "I understand, Instructor Lu."
"Hm. Take a rest now. No need to worry for tonight. Lord Mo will protect us this evening," Lu Shang said.
It was just a relief for the three young lads. They could sleep peacefully if someone as strong as Mo Xuejing promised to protect the entire camp for tonight. It would be difficult for anyone or anything to hurt them, after all, if such a wonderful person consented to take them under his wing. When the three departed, Lu Shang stood by the door. His sweetheart remains inside, conversing with Lord Hei.

Back inside the tent...
Hei Anjing looked at Leica and said, "Reach out a hand."
Leica lifted his right hand without hesitation. The God of Destruction left an imprint of a snowflake on the back of Leica's right hand.
"This is the key. You can use it to open the small world under my possession. Inside are some godly beasts of this world. You can bring them out at the right moment. Just in case I am not around and there is danger, you can call them all out. Remember, unless the world is ending, you guys are forbidden from using divinity.
The Divine Laws are impartial, even though I was punished by them before," Hei Anjing said.
Leica saluted, "This subordinate will listen to Master."
"Okay. You can take your leave. Your lover is waiting for you outside," Hei Anjing said. Only then did Leica leave the tent, leaving Hei Anjing to guard the egg inside.
There was silence as the night went on. Because some monsters emerge from the dimensional portal even in the evening, the group's warriors and leaders do not get much sleep. An invisible wall was built to conceal what was happening inside the warzone once Hei Anjing assumed control. He entered the space gate right away and peered at the different monsters emerging from it.
It has then tripled the amount of attacks this morning just by sheer numbers.
Hei Anjing was standing on a certain cliff, overlooking the scenes of the monster invasion before his eyes.
"This wouldn't even be enough for an exercise," Hei Anjing mumbles as he summons his natal weapon, Juedi.
"Juedi, awaken." A deep, crimson-tall death scythe appeared in Hei Anjing's hands.
He leaped in the middle of the creatures, a lighthearted smile teasing his lips. Inside are tall monsters and enormous golems; the mirror monsters have also caused the appearance of a mirror version of himself. Hei Anjing, encircled on all sides, only laughed, his silver eyes turning red with excitement.
With a deranged smile, the bloodstained monster splattered across the landscape, sparing Hei Anjing's white suit from any of the droplets. The beasts on the way were hacked in half and instantaneously killed at the sound of his scythe. No further attacks are required because everything that the death scythe severed, even its internal energy source and soul, can only perish.
A tiny battle fairy was dancing in the midst of a variety of grotesque, deformed, and even emotionless devices that resembled machinery. His fluid motions and exuberant laughter fill the entire battlefield. It is quite a sight to behold. Tu Shizhe was grinning as he watched the dancing white fairy on the battlefield during the twilight, just above the translucent barrier that Hei Anjing had created.
As if watching a similar picture from a distant past mirroring the current scenes before his eyes, Tun Shizhe mumbles, "You haven't changed at all. Playful, stronger, and entertaining. Nothing can ever hold you back. Except for us, if we don't exist, you would be much freer, but we are not willing to let go."
The last line was spoken with such sorrow and regret that it was impossible to ignore, but nobody is aware of this man's past or his relationship with the God of Destruction.
This man kept an eye on everything all night long until Hei Anjing defeated every creature that emerged. The Space Portal began to exhibit symptoms of calm as the sun began to rise. All of the huge waves for tonight have been eliminated. Hei Anjing is quietly observing the sun rising over the monster corpse mountain while resting on his death scythe.
He had a melancholic expression on his face. "Watching the sunrise alone is not fun. When will A'Xia return?"
Subsequently, he vanished from sight and entered the small world to tidy up and make his children breakfast. The man stood silently in the skies, watching as he vanished. He had departed as well. In quiet, he watched over him and only left, like a silent protector, when he was satisfied he was secure.

A tall pile of monstrous corpses in the center of the battleground sickened several knights who had gone there when the sun had fully risen. The knights who had witnessed such a scene were momentarily astonished and then hurried to inform the king and the Heavenly Guardians.
Predictably, the majority of people had headed towards the location where the enormous mountain had collected. It scared everyone simply because of its size. Lu Ming, Lu Shang, and the others were also present.
Mo Yuhan paled and mumbled, "How come there are more monsters than the one we killed yesterday?"
"These monsters were cut by something sharp, and there aren't any traces of elemental energy in the area. The fighter fought with a weapon and physical body alone," Lu Ming commented after checking a few corpses nearby and seeing that almost all the corpses were killed with one slice, and it was even a clean slash.
Su Jin said, "This... Did Lord Mo do all this? Alone? How come none of us heard anything last night?"
"There are traces of a barrier around the perimeter of the warzone. It seems to let us rest all night. Lord Mo erected a barrier in this place. That's why we heard nothing," Leica said.
Everyone was silent and in shock. They look at the monstrous bodies in front of them, bewildered. The monster corpses stare for a long time until ice gradually envelops them and dissolves into nothing in front of their eyes. I moved while no one else was looking.
"That just now! Is it you, Mo-ge?"
Su Jin stuttered and asked with regards to the mysterious scene of ice suddenly enveloping the mountain of monsters, only for it to be melted into nothing.
Mo Yuhan shook his head and hands. "Not me. I can't melt things like this. I don't even know ice can melt other things. I thought it could only freeze things!"
"It's a time-based spell. Lord Mo must have left it and set it to clean up the corpses. He forgot to adjust the time, and it just activated at this moment," Leica said.
Everyone is currently curious as to how Mo Xuejing managed to eliminate all of these creatures by himself. Nothing was noted by anyone when it was completed yesterday night. These monsters were slain with a weapon and raw force alone; there were no signs of elemental qi on their corpses. Not everything can just happen.
Lu Shang scowled as he saw the alterations being made to the dungeon entrance. Abruptly, he observed the waves on the space rift's surface. This sudden change meant that the door on both inside and outside was affected. It's also a premonition of the space rift activating once again.
"Everyone, get ready! The door is opening up again!"
