Chapter 836 Power Is Not the Problem, It Depends on Who Wields It

Zeus was so angry at these words that he almost twisted his nose.

What did he care about the relationship between Yang Jian and Zhang Bairen? All he wanted was to weaken the Eastern Heavenly Court's power without bloodshed.

The Eastern Heavenly Court's development speed was too fast, so fast that the other three divine forces were extremely apprehensive.

This was the reason they had gathered here today.

If they allowed the Eastern Heavenly Court to continue developing unbridled, then soon this world would become their sole domain.

At this moment, Yang Jian spoke again, his tone still domineering.

"Still fighting? If not, then get lost!"

The three great God-Kings exchanged glances, each seeing the resolute look in the other's eyes.

If they were truly frightened away by Yang Jian's words today, then they really wouldn't have to bother showing their faces from now on.

"Odin! Shiva! Since the Eastern Heavenly Court's attitude is so tough, then let's just start a war! Eliminate them to prevent future troubles! I refuse to believe that they can really withstand the power of our three God-King forces!" Zeus said coldly.

Odin and Shiva nodded in agreement.

Thus, a grand, protracted war of the gods unfolded!

With the addition of Odin and Shiva's northern and southern divine forces, the Eastern Heavenly Court's heavenly soldiers and generals tried their best to resist.

Almost every heavenly soldier had to fight against several times their number of gods.

"Let me test you!" Shiva, the God of Destruction, was eager to fight and directly engaged Yang Jian.

On the other side, the freed God-King Zeus wielded the Silent Extinction Divine Lightning, wreaking havoc among the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Just as Zeus was getting carried away with the slaughter, a terrifying iron staff descended from the sky, smashing down towards him.

Zeus was startled and quickly raised the Shield of Zeus to defend.

Clang!

Along with a crisp sound of metal clashing, Zeus was sent flying back hundreds of feet. At this moment, he was horrified to discover a crack in the Shield of Zeus in his hand!

"This is impossible!"

Zeus let out an incredulous cry. The Shield of Zeus had accompanied him in countless battles for many years and was indestructible. How could it be smashed with a single blow?

At this moment, the entire battlefield suddenly fell silent.

A monkey whose fur was entirely golden-red, holding an iron staff, wearing a large red Buddhist kasaya, appeared in the center of the battlefield.

"You dead monkey, I thought you had become a Buddha and ancestor, and wouldn't listen to worldly affairs," Yang Jian said with a smile and a curse.

The monkey grinned as well.

"Becoming a Buddha is too torturous. Those old fogeys on Mount Ling say this is the Sixth Great World Calamity, and we're not allowed to intervene, saying we can't get involved!"

"But screw them, they're already attacking our doorstep and still won't let us help. Your Grandpa Sun is pissed! I don't want to be this Buddha anymore!"

The monkey tore off the Buddhist kasaya he was wearing, revealing a dazzling golden armor, a golden crown on his head, and a golden-hooped staff in his hand, with a red cloak fluttering behind him.

Terrifying power, like an endless ocean, swept across the heavens, divine might surged, and stars shattered.

"Who are you?" Zeus was horrified. The crack in the Shield of Zeus seemed to have cracked his invincible heart as well.

"I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven—Sun Wukong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden-hooped staff smashed down on Zeus's head again.

As the battle went on, the Eastern Heavenly Court's foundation gradually revealed itself, and the three great God-King forces were all horrified.

The Twelve Golden Immortals then took action, followed by the appearance of the legendary Six Emperors.

The Jade Emperor Haotian God, the Eastern Azure Flower Great Emperor, the Western Gouchen Heavenly Emperor, the Southern Longevity Great Emperor, the Central Arctic Ziwei Great Emperor, and the Houtu Empress Earth.

The Six Supreme Emperors appeared and joined this terrifying war as well.

However, whether it was Odin or Shiva, or the gods of the Eastern Heavenly Court, they had all underestimated the Western gods' depravity.

As this protracted war reached its climax, countless gods fell. Even the universe originally opened up by the Great God Pangu was shattered and turned into twelve cosmic fragments.

By the end, the gods were almost exhausted of their divine power and unable to fight any longer.

It was at this moment that they discovered that Zeus had secretly hidden a fresh force!

When Hades, the God of the Underworld, Ares, the God of War, and Hermes, the Messenger of the Gods, appeared leading countless gods, Odin, Shiva, and the gods of the Eastern Heavenly Court realized that they had all been deceived!

The Northern and Southern Gods fought the Eastern Heavenly Court to a draw, but the Western Gods reaped the benefits.

In the end, this protracted war of the gods ended with the victory of the Western gods. The other three divine forces were either killed or sealed.

After winning the war, the Western gods quickly erased the traces of the other three divine forces and promoted the theory of the supreme gods to all living beings in the universe.

They divided the universe into twelve main gods, with each main god ruling over a cosmic fragment.

As endless time passed, lies gradually became the truth.

People only remembered the Twilight of the Gods battle in which humans resisted the gods, but no one could remember the even more terrifying Great War of the Gods that preceded the Twilight of the Gods.

Recalling the images in his mind, Zhang Erhe's expression was a little strange.

There were too many doubts about that battle.

It was a pity that too much time had passed, and many things could no longer be verified.

Qiao Yu's pupils also shrank instantly. Such a secret was hidden in this world?

Looking at Qiao Yu, who was immersed in shock, Zhang Erhe asked with a playful expression.

"Qiao Yu, after hearing this, do you still want to continue to obtain the Underworld King's inheritance?"

"Yes, why not?" Qiao Yu raised his eyes, silver-white Silent Extinction Divine Lightning lingering at his fingertips. "Learn the enemy's strengths to defeat them. There's nothing wrong with power, it depends on who uses it."

"It's great that you can understand this," Zhang Erhe said with a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Qiao Yu would be stubborn.

"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot," Qiao Yu waved his hand. "I don't want to bother with any war of the gods. My purpose in going to the Underworld is to save my wife. As for the others... I'll just let fate decide!"

Qiao Yu walked towards the depths of the Underworld with a carefree attitude.

Zhang Erhe looked at Qiao Yu's departing figure and fell silent for a moment, muttering to himself in a low voice.

"Your father is really hard-hearted and cruel, to actually let his own child bear these burdens. No wonder even the gods call him Qiao the Madman..."
