Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the entire Great Thousand World remained calm and peaceful, the tranquility before the storm.
From Shi Tianxiang's transmissions, Liu Bai also learned that the Feind Race Demons had convened a Demon Council at the Myriad Demon Hall and formulated their plans for invading the Great Thousand World.
Unfortunately, although Shi Tianxiang held a fairly high position within the Corpse Demon Clan, she was still not influential enough to affect decisions of that level. Apart from leaking some information, there was little else Liu Bai could arrange through her.
However, compared to the original story, Liu Bai had made many more preparations.
Among them was forming alliances with the Divine Beast clans.
In the name of the Great Thousand Palace's Demon Slayer King, Liu Bai personally visited the leaders of both the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan.
Even Huang Jin, who had some grievances with Liu Bai, chose not to refuse when Liu Bai extended the invitation.
After all, the ancient war had left the Divine Beast Race with unforgettable hatred. Furthermore, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If the Great Thousand World were destroyed, the Divine Beast Race would naturally meet the same fate.
After obtaining the promises of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, the Kunpeng Clan, the Heaven Connecting Ape Clan, and many other Super Divine Beast clans also agreed to take action.
However, Liu Bai did not have them all gather at the Northern Desolate Grave. Instead, they would serve as a surprise force, ready to reinforce the Great Thousand World at any time. At the same time, this would allow them to guard against secret invasions and sabotage by the Feind Race Demons.
Having arranged everything, Liu Bai finally enjoyed a rare period of peace.
Together with Jiu You and Mandala, the three of them strolled along the banks of the Heavenly River.
Above the Heavenly River, rivers of spiritual energy surged endlessly. Waves rolled across the surface, releasing vast and pure spiritual energy that condensed into mist and drifted through the air, making the entire world feel fresh and ethereal.
On the stone platforms lining both sides of the river, young figures sat quietly in meditation, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with every breath to temper themselves.
Farther away, figures moved constantly amid bursts of shouting as people sparred and trained.
The appearance of the three naturally attracted many gazes, but no fool dared step forward and disturb their moment of tranquility.
"Looking at these people, I suddenly miss the days back at the Great Havenlaw Domain."
A trace of nostalgia appeared in Liu Bai's eyes.
Although only a few short years had passed, it felt to him as though a very long time had gone by.
"Hehe, any one of the people here would be at the level of a Emperor if they were in the Great Havenlaw Domain now."
Mandala gently brushed her hair aside and smiled softly.
"Time really passes quickly. When I first met you, you were just a little fellow at the Divine Soul Realm."
Jiu You turned her head and stared at Liu Bai's profile.
"Who would have thought that in less than ten years, you'd grow to this level?"
"Fast? I actually think it's been rather slow..."
Liu Bai was not bragging. His growth had always been gradual and steady, unlike many protagonists who became invincible almost immediately.
Looking at the two women beside him, Liu Bai suddenly said,"How about we hold our wedding after the Great Thousand Covenant ends?"
The two women froze for a moment before faint blushes appeared on their faces.
Jiu You even reached out and viciously twisted his arm.
"Out of nowhere, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hehe, it's not nonsense. It's the truth from my heart."
Liu Bai grinned mischievously.
"Although it feels a bit like raising a death flag, I still want to ask. Will you marry me?"
His words filled both women with shyness.
Yet neither of them rejected him. Instead, they nodded firmly.
"Hahaha! Wonderful! My first child will be called Liu Qing..."
Jiu You: "..."
Mandala: "..."
"And after that, we'll give birth to a rainbow..."
The two women clenched their fists.
In the end, they could not resist beating up this nonsense-spouting fellow.
As the three months passed, the atmosphere throughout the Great Thousand World gradually became tense.
The source of this tension was the continuous warfare taking place along the border regions between the Great Thousand World and the Feind Race Demons.
In particular, the Endless Fire Domain and the Martial Realm, which guarded the borders, had become thorns in the side of the Fiend Race Demons. Countless Demons swept in and launched frenzied offensives against these two supreme superpowers of the Great Thousand World.
Although these attacks were unable to shake the Endless Fire Domain and the Martial Realm with the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor personally overseeing them, the meaning behind these actions quickly spread throughout the Great Thousand World.
The Feind Race Demons, who had once inflicted devastating damage upon the Great Thousand World, had returned once more.
Once this realization spread, every faction in the Great Thousand World was horrified.
The fearsome reputation of the Fiend Race Demons was simply too great. Even in ancient times, they had turned the Great Thousand World into a sea of blood, causing the deaths of countless experts and bringing forth a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.
Now that the Feind Race Demons had returned, another storm of bloodshed was inevitable.
Perhaps even all living beings within the Great Thousand World would face extinction.
A sense of impending disaster quietly spread throughout the world, causing countless hidden tremors and widespread panic.
However, beyond the reach of ordinary factions, the Heavenly Sovereigns of the major superpowers had already begun taking action.
Apart from those heading toward the Northern Desolate Grave, most were dispatched throughout the Great Thousand World to monitor various regions and prevent surprise attacks by the Feind Race Demons.
The Five Elements Divine Palace was no exception.
In fact, because the Skylaw Continent was so vast, Liu Bai had invited two Heavenly Sovereigns from the Nine Nether Clan and the Kunpeng Clan to assist.
Including Jiu You, Mandala, and the White Tiger King, there were now five Heavenly Sovereigns stationed on the Skylaw Continent.
Only then could Liu Bai depart for the Northern Desolate Grave without worries.
At the very moment Liu Bai set off, countless vast spiritual energy fluctuations erupted across the Great Thousand World.
They swept across the heavens with overwhelming momentum.
All of them were heading in the same direction.
The Northern Desolate Grave.
Meanwhile, space outside the Endless Fire Domain and the Martial Realm was torn apart as three enormous Demon shadows slowly stepped out from the rifts.
Demonic might enveloped heaven and earth.
At that moment, Xiao Yan stood atop the Burning Heaven Mountain, gazing upward at the scene.
Two peerless beauties stood beside him.
"The Great Thousand Covenant has begun, and the Feind Race Demons are launching a massive assault on our Endless Fire Domain. It seems they intend to pin Xiao Yan down here."
The speaker was a stunningly enchanting woman with a slender figure. Her colorful dress outlined breathtaking curves that radiated irresistible charm.
"If they've made such plans, then the Feind Race Demons will certainly make a move against the Northern Desolate Grave. It seems this won't be another small scale conflict like before."
The one who spoke this time was Gu Xun'er, who had met Liu Bai once before.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the demonic energy surging through the void.
"Pass down the order. The Endless Fire Domain is to enter first level alert status. All Heavenly Sovereigns are to remain on standby at all times."
As his words fell, a streak of fire flashed behind him before someone departed to carry out the order.
The same scene was unfolding within the Martial Realm.
Just like the Flame Emperor, the Martial Ancestor stood beside two peerless beauties.
Naturally, they were the two mistresses of the Martial Realm, Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan.
"I've already brought all the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ice Spirit Clan."
Ying Huanhuan's voice was crisp, though it carried a faint chill.
"All Heavenly Sovereigns under the Martial Realm have also completed their preparations."
Ling Qingzhu's veil fluttered slightly as her gentle voice sounded.
Lin Dong nodded slightly.
Then he reached out and held both women's jade hands as he smiled.
"I never thought we'd once again be fighting side by side against these Demons."
"Don't worry. If another accident happens this time, I'll use my life to protect you instead."
Ling Qingzhu smiled beautifully, her eyes curving gently.
However, those words immediately made the Martial Ancestor's face turn bitter.
After all, reviving Ying Huanhuan had already cost him tremendous effort. If something similar happened again, he truly would cry.
Yet the current Martial Ancestor was no longer the inexperienced youth he once was.
His expression became serious once more as he declared firmly,
"Don't worry. This time, no one will be able to harm either of you in front of me."
Those words carried more weight than any sweet declaration of love.
Instantly, the gazes the two women directed toward him became filled with tenderness.
Unlike the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, who had beauties accompanying them, Liu Bai could only make the journey to the Northern Desolate Grave by himself.
This place lay at the very center of the Great Thousand World.
In ancient times, it had been a supercontinent known as the Northern Desolate Continent, one of the most prosperous and powerful regions in the entire Great Thousand World.
Unfortunately, during the final war between the Feind Race Demons and the Great Thousand World, the Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Evil God fought upon the Northern Desolate Continent.
That battle shattered the supercontinent itself.
The surviving remnants eventually became what was now known as the Northern Desolate Grave.
As the seal imprisoning the Heavenly Evil God, the Northern Desolate Grave was guarded by the direct descendants left behind by the Immortal Emperor, the so called Grave Gaurdians.
All outsiders were forbidden from approaching.
Of course, this was an ominous land.
Even Heavenly Sovereigns normally dared not set foot here casually, so almost nobody wished to come.
After breaking through layers upon layers of astral winds and clouds, Liu Bai finally saw the shattered continent before him.
The entire landmass was ruined beyond recognition and dyed in a dark crimson hue.
Even from a great distance, one could feel the overwhelming aura of tragedy rising into the heavens.
"What a terrifying place..."
Even as a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, Liu Bai felt his heart pound when staring at that dark crimson land.
His keen perception detected an indescribable aura of danger lurking deep within the continent.
"So this is the Heavenly Evil God..."
Even without meeting him, even while the other party remained sealed, he could still make a top tier Saint Grade combatant like Liu Bai feel threatened.
This was the god who ruled the Feind Race, the Demon of Destruction who had once nearly annihilated an entire Great Thousand World.
After letting out a long breath, Liu Bai wrapped his body in Spiritual Energy protection and passed through the great Array left behind by the Immortal Emperor. Only then did he truly enter the domain of the Northern Desolate Grave.
Sweeping his gaze across the ruined land below, he saw countless solitary tombs, each mountain serving as a grave.
The mountain tombs stretched endlessly all the way to the horizon.
These were the graves of the Great Thousand World's experts who had fallen in that ancient war.
Likewise, this was why those who guarded this place called themselves the Tomb Gaurdians.
Because what they protected here was not merely the seal of the Heavenly Evil God.
They also protected the countless living beings who had sacrificed themselves for the Great Thousand World.
Just as Liu Bai was lost in thought, a streak of light suddenly appeared.
After seeing the newcomer clearly, he realized it was actually a Spiritual Energy incarnation of Great Elder Qin Tian.
"You're here. Come with me."
Liu Bai nodded and followed Qin Tian's Spiritual Energy incarnation.
Soon, they arrived at an enormous black plaza.
Within the black plaza stood massive black pillars. However, Liu Bai knew those were not pillars at all. They were gigantic bronze coffins standing upright.
These bronze coffins resembled nails firmly driven into the black plaza. Faintly, strange fluctuations emanated from them.
Liu Bai mentally combined the positions of the bronze coffins.
Instantly, an incomparably exquisite Array diagram appeared in his mind.
Yet before he could continue his deductions, a sharp pain stabbed into his head.
"Be careful! This Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array surpasses the Saint Grade. Do not attempt to deduce it rashly!"
Qin Tian immediately noticed Liu Bai's abnormal state and warned him.
Liu Bai smiled bitterly and nodded.
It seemed he had been overly confident.
He had actually tried to analyze the grand Array that the Immortal Emperor had laid down with his own life.
After calming himself, Liu Bai and Qin Tian arrived at a mountain beside the plaza.
At the mountain peak stood an enormous black hall, resembling a primordial beast.
Upon the hall were three ancient characters as vigorous as coiling dragons.
Great Thousand Palace.
This was the true headquarters of the Great Thousand Palace.
It was a Saint Grade Peerless Saint Artifact and the palace's supreme treasure.
Capable of traversing the void, its rank was no weaker than the Ancestor Tower of the Buddha Ancient Clan or the Tai Ling Ancient Diagram of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan.
It was undoubtedly one of the ten greatest treasures in the entire Great Thousand World.
"Able to roam the boundless void. I wonder if the Great Thousand Palace could travel to Tianyuan World..."
After seeing this Saint Grade palace, that was the first thought that came to Liu Bai's mind.
Unfortunately, even if the Great Thousand Palace could fulfill such a wish, he would not dare attempt it.
At least not now.
After all, even the Feind Demon Race had been driven out of Tianyuan World by Zhou Yuan.
If he went there himself, would that not simply be courting death?
Inside the great hall, lamps flickered softly.
Ahead were rings of stone seats arranged in circular tiers descending downward, much like an arena.
The lower the tier, the fewer the seats.
Moreover, the colors of the stone seats changed from gray to silver, and finally to gold.
The distinctions were extremely clear.
Liu Bai's gaze landed upon the lowest ring of golden seats.
There sat a familiar figure.
Naturally, it was Qin Tian, the Great Elder of the Great Thousand Palace who had brought him here.
"Stop looking and take your seat first."
Qin Tian smiled and pointed to the golden seat beside him.
At this moment, everyone present was a powerhouse of the Great Thousand Palace and naturally recognized Liu Bai.
Therefore, no one reacted to this arrangement.
Liu Bai complied and sat down, quietly waiting for the others to arrive.
Soon, under the guidance of the Tomb Guardians, Heavenly Sovereigns arriving at the Northern Desolate Grave entered the Great Thousand Palace one after another.
Each found a seat according to their own strength.
When these people saw Liu Bai sitting beside Qin Tian, many revealed expressions of surprise.
After all, Qin Tian's position was reserved for peak experts at the Late Phase Saint Grade level.
The remaining Middle Phase Saint Grade and Initial Phase Saint Grade experts each had their own designated seats.
Publicly, Liu Bai's cultivation was only at the Middle Phase Saint Grade level.
Ordinarily, he would not be qualified to sit beside Qin Tian.
Yet there he sat, and no one objected.
That alone proved that this young man was far from ordinary.
At the very least, he possessed combat strength comparable to a peak Heavenly Sovereign.
