Kunlun Heavenly Court.

Elder Tianji's Three Corpses Primordial Spirit circled the Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect's gateway.

Everything in Kunlun was under control. As the head of the Civil Academy, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending Kunlun.

Yet, gazing at the endless tide of ghosts and demons stretching for thousands of miles, a faint feeling of helplessness arose in his heart.

There were simply too many of them.

He looked to the starry sky, where the Divine Lord seemed to be entangled by something.

Their formation wouldn't hold for much longer. Against tens of billions of Ghost Soldiers, the outcome seemed grim.

At that moment, it might spell the total annihilation of the Human Clan.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Song Lin claimed he could solve it, and Elder Tianji believed him. After all, there were no other options.

The encirclement of demons and ghosts grew tighter. The pitch-black yin energy materialized as ferocious demon dragons, their sharp fangs gleaming with a terrifying light.

"Roar!!"

"Kill!!"

The Ghost Kings roared in ecstasy, eager to feast upon this luxurious banquet.

It wouldn't be long before they charged forward.

The Heavenly Court Immortals did not take a single step back. Instead, they focused all their energy on maintaining their array.

Shi Yinhua coordinated the Zengcheng group, arranging them into a formation at specific positions.

"Qingyu, guard the Gate of Death," Shi Yinhua commanded a woman.

"Understood."

Shi Yinhua moved swiftly amidst the ranks. Tens of thousands of immortals erected a colossal array, covering a thousand-mile radius.

A golden Eight Diagram phantom enveloped Kunlun and its vital surrounding regions, protecting over two hundred million people.

Within this array, all spells, be they external or internal, were forbidden.

Some found this decision puzzling. Didn't this array also render them defenseless?

How could they hold out for long like this? Why not take the offensive?

"Just wait and see. This is a direct order from the Divine Lord," Shi Yinhua explained to everyone.

"I see."

Song Lin held immense prestige in the Heavenly Court. Since he personally issued the command, there had to be profound meaning behind it.

With the array established, everyone sent their Avatars to gather in the grand hall.

Their task was now complete; the next move awaited the Divine Lord's revelation.

True Monarch Yangg Jian stood at the entrance.

Chiyou, his expression clouded with doubt and his brows furrowed deeply, questioned Shi Yinhua and Elder Tianji, "You two claim the Divine Lord has a solution. What exactly is it?"

"We're not sure. The Divine Lord has rarely appeared during his recent seclusion, but since he gave the order, he must have a way to handle this," they replied.

The Divine Lord was always deliberate, never acting without confidence. As for the solution, that depended on him alone.

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, speculating various possibilities.

"Could it be some kind of array? What do you think, Zhengxin?"

"Impossible. The Kunlun Formation is already the pinnacle of all formations in the world. Unless..." Zhengxin immediately rejected the idea.

"In the heavens!"

The crowd spoke in unison.

The ground had already been fully utilized. If victory were to be achieved, it would require the stars above.

The immortals stepped outside the hall.

Indeed, the dharma body of the Eastern King radiated divine brilliance, its light surpassing even the sun's.

The brilliance nearly blinded everyone.

Then, events unfolded at an accelerated pace.

First, the Taishi Demon Emperor was defeated and fled. Then, the boundless True Taiyang Fire descended, covering every inch of the battlefield.

The air distorted from the heat, rivers evaporated in an instant, vegetation turned to ash, and the soil melted into magma.

Every corner was subjected to precise, all-encompassing strikes by the True Taiyang Fire.

If even the earth was ravaged so, what chance did the ghosts and demons have?

They couldn't withstand even a single round, and in an instant, more than half were obliterated.

It was a strike that covered nearly all land masses on the stars.

A feat of such magnitude was beyond ordinary masters. After all, the land alone spanned tens of billions of square kilometers, not to mention the vast oceans and scattered islands—the scale was unfathomable.

Even a Harmonization Stage master couldn't achieve such power over this realm; their spells would lose potency over such an enormous area.

The roaring flames turned into hot winds, and the torrents of rain turned into shimmering mists.

Reaching such heights was only possible through a Heavenly Phenomenon.

Outside the grand hall, the Kunlun group watched as the flames and golden light relentlessly collided with the array.

"Too powerful. To take the form of the sun itself—such a phenomenon is unprecedented," someone said, their tone filled with awe.

The crowd felt as though they were witnessing a myth—a true epic tale.

Legends were always fantastical. Every era had its share of powerful cultivators, but such feats were exceedingly rare.

To establish a Heavenly Court, to unite the world, to command the stars... every step defied the heavens, and every step was fraught with danger.

Elder Tianji roared with hearty laughter, addressing the crowd, "Fellow cultivators, the situation has been decided. We can now enjoy the results!"

"Not so fast. There's still more work to be done."

The territories of the Heavenly Court had expanded dozens of times over.

Before consolidating, they needed to extinguish the fires and eliminate the remaining ghosts and demons—tedious tasks that would likely take decades to complete.

"Not necessarily. If we annex the Demon Court directly, the Demon Country's territories will become ours. The remaining work is just trifles, not worth worrying about."

Soon, the flames dispersed, and the Ghost Army vanished without a trace.

However, the outskirts of Kunlun were left in ruins, scorched by the Tribulation Fire.

Roar!!

The Divine Dragon of the Four Corners Mountain roared and ascended to the heavens.

Deities from the eight directions also soared skyward.

Strong winds, torrential rain, thunder, and lightning... the seasons shifted in an instant.

The deities unleashed their divine power without restraint. The mountains they governed erupted with vitality through the changing seasons. Vegetation sprouted, and life began to flourish once again.

Elder Tianji directed Kunlun's Earth Energy to replenish this world.

Kunlun, as the ancestral vein of the world, gathered the Essence and Qi of all under heaven.

Now, with calamities in every direction, it naturally mobilized its ancestral Qi to aid in restoration.

With everyone working together, they finally stabilized the surrounding Earth Energy.

At this rate, it wouldn't take many years for the land to fully recover.

"Ah, peace has finally arrived."

The Zhonghuang Zi sighed deeply.

Having been displaced and battered for so many years, having witnessed endless bloodshed and scheming, and having lost countless Taoist comrades to enemies—such a scene could only bring tears to one's eyes.

The Taoist lineage flourished, while the Demon Country fell into decline.

"Indeed..."

For those who had endured so much, how could they not be moved by this moment?

The world was at peace, and warfare ceased to exist.

This had been the greatest wish since the founding of the Donghua Dao lineage.

Today marked a crucial step toward fulfilling that dream—it all felt like something from a dream.

"Stop with the nonsense. You've forgotten about the Ghost Gate," Chiyou grumbled, finding the sentimental atmosphere unbearable.

Besides, if the world truly knew no war, where would that leave him, the Warlord?

No, he had to convince the Divine Lord to reconsider. There were still plenty of demons and ghosts among the Outer Heaven Stars.

"All personnel, gather at the Palace of the Polestar."

At this moment, Song Lin's voice resonated.

The immortals returned to the Palace of the Polestar, where Song Lin's Avatar was already waiting.

"Greetings, Divine Lord, and congratulations on reclaiming the land!"

The immortals offered their congratulations.

"Hmm."

Song Lin appeared calm and composed.

Driving out the Demon Clan and reclaiming the land was merely the first step.

The next goal was to expand the Heavenly Court, transforming it from an earthly kingdom to a true Heavenly Heavenly Court.

Then, they would strike beyond the Small Thousand World.

"I have one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. The good news is that there are no longer any rivals on this star. The bad news is that the Taishi Demon Emperor isn't dead. He fled to the Outer Heaven, and the Demon Tribulation might return in over three hundred years."

"That's a problem for the future. If he can't win now, he'll fare even worse in the future," Chiyou said with a grin. The prospect of future battles instantly brightened his mood.

"I'll remain unable to take action for a while. You all go to the Demon Country to see if you can seal the Ghost Gate."

Once the Ancestor Star was fully reclaimed, humanity would step into a new era. By then, they would need to choose a resonant title for themselves.

What name would be fitting?
