The River of Oblivion.
Inside a cave, three righteous gods gathered together. The one in the lead was a young man with a cold face. His thin body was wrapped in a wide black robe, and his long black hair almost reached his ankles.
The other two were a burly man dressed as a general in bronze armor and an elderly man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom.
All three of them looked worried.
The general-looking man said in a deep voice, "It's time for the three giants' trial again."
Upon hearing this, a heavy silence fell over the cave.
After a moment, the old man asked, "Is this the last time?"
The general nodded: "This should be the last time. After several trials, the three giants have already reached the peak of the Demon God level. The eldest one is just one step away from advancing. This last time will probably determine the true victor and give birth to a Heavenly Demon God. At that time, the Forgotten River Realm will be in danger."
"Alas." The old man sighed heavily. "Now the Wangchuan Domain is surrounded by four Heavenly Demon Gods. We finally got a chance to catch our breath after the snake woman went into seclusion, which made it easier for us to find all our memories of our past lives. But we never expected that a new Heavenly Demon God would be born. As a result, the Wangchuan Domain will be surrounded by five Heavenly Demon Gods, and the fragile balance that has been maintained for so long will be completely broken!"
Silence fell over the room once again.
After a long silence, the cold-faced man at the head of the group suddenly spoke: "Which of you can spare the time to stop those three giants?"
The general slammed his fist on the stone table and said angrily, "Whenever those three frost giants are undergoing trials, their father will always come to Linchuan City. His purpose is to keep an eye on me and prevent me from having any free time. Once I leave, Linchuan City will surely fall."
Upon hearing this, the cold-faced man turned his gaze to the old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom: "Daoist Baiyun, you said before that you had regained some of your past life memories and awakened a supernatural ability of creating an avatar. I wonder how it is progressing now?"
Master Baiyun sighed and shook his head: "I can use my supernatural powers normally, but the problem is that I can only create one external avatar at the level of a true god at most. Otherwise, it will seriously hinder the strength of my main body. Once the Mother Spider of Reincarnation takes the opportunity to invade, I will be unable to stop her."
Although the Reincarnation Mother Spider was the weakest among these Heavenly Demon Gods, she had many offspring, and they would always come out in full force, making her the most troublesome.
Yang Xian, you also have to keep an eye on that three-headed hellhound, so you're also stretched thin. If only another god could awaken in the Forgotten River Domain, even if it's not a celestial god, a true god would do. With the help of my avatar, at least some casualties could be reduced.
"Now, the number of souls in the River of Oblivion is dwindling, and the offerings and prayers they can provide for us are also decreasing. If this continues, our strength will be weakened, and the River of Oblivion will eventually become a demonic realm!"
The cold-faced man named Yang Xian frowned deeply: "I'll try asking the Immortal Realm for help again; perhaps they can send someone."
Neither Daoist Baiyun nor the general had any hope of receiving aid from the Immortal Realm. If aid were available, it would have arrived long ago; why wait until now?
"Let's disperse. Although these Heavenly Demon Gods are at odds, they all share the same goal: to plunder souls in the Forgotten River Domain. Every time the Frost Giant undergoes its trial, the other Heavenly Demon Gods will be watching us closely, waiting for us to reveal a weakness."
As Master Baiyun finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
But at that moment, Yang Xian's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked sharply towards the distant east: "A new god has appeared."
Master Baiyun and the general immediately stopped in their tracks, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.
"Finally, a new god has awakened? Is it a celestial god or a righteous god?" Master Baiyun asked urgently.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xian shook his head: "He is a true god."
The excitement of Master Baiyun and his companion immediately faded by half, as if they had just checked their lottery tickets and discovered they had won the first prize, only to find upon closer inspection that they had misread a digit and it was now the second prize.
The general forced a smile and said, "A true god is not bad either; something is better than nothing. Which city is he from?"
But then a strange look appeared in Yang Xian's eyes: "He's not from the Wangchuan Domain. He just came in from the outside world. He revealed his aura as soon as he came in. He must be here to find us."
"The outside world?" The general was about to ask when his expression suddenly changed: "Damn it, the Frost Giant is here. His three children must have already secretly infiltrated the Forgotten River Domain. I just don't know which city they have chosen this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the general's figure vanished from the spot.
Master Baiyun also became anxious: "The trial has begun, and that beast, the Reincarnation Mother Spider, is probably itching to make a move. I will first send out my avatar to search for the whereabouts of the three frost giants. Yang Xian, you use your Dharma body to contact that True God. It would be best to find out the other party's background and origins first. If he has not sided with the Demon God, then have him come to support my avatar as soon as possible!"
"We must be quick; my avatar can only hold off two frost giants at a time."
Yang Xian nodded, and then the two of them disappeared.
......
......
Outside Linchuan City, a towering frost giant stands majestically, resembling a ten-thousand-foot ice mountain. Its entire body is covered in dark blue ice, and it has a human-like appearance, exuding a dense chill.
The wisps of cold air surged toward Linchuan City like a storm. In an instant, a layer of frost formed on the tall and majestic city walls, and the ghost soldiers and generals guarding the walls turned into ice sculptures.
The frost spread rapidly, sweeping into Linchuan City, where countless dead souls were frantically fleeing.
Fortunately, the general-like deity arrived in the next moment, slamming his spear heavily into the ground. Endless divine light burst forth, shattering the layers of frost until he was driven out of Linchuan City.
The general and the frost giant faced each other across the city. One was radiating endless divine light, while the other was wreaking havoc with cold light. The divine light and the cold light were separated by the city wall, constantly fighting and annihilating each other, so much so that a visible dividing line was formed in the void, as if splitting the world in two.
Neither of them spoke nor made a move. They were old rivals, both aware of each other's objectives and strength, so there was no need for them to speak.
The general didn't make a move because he knew that the frost giant was just trying to stall him. Even if he went out to fight, the frost giant would fight and retreat, not seeking victory, but simply delaying the battle.
The border of the River of Oblivion.
Dressed in a black robe, Yang Xian stood there motionless like a stone statue; even the wind could not stir his robes.
In the void beyond the boundary, a Cerberus, as tall as a skyscraper, stared at Yang Xian. Its three enormous heads were filled with anthropomorphic mockery, and its body was covered with dense cracks, from which flowed crimson magma, which was filled with a strong smell of blood.
