The so-called sacrificial ceremony to the Dao is similar to the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven in mortal dynasties, except that quasi-saints and the like have already been on equal footing with the Dao of Heaven, so the Great Dao is used instead.
The reason Bi Bei chose to offer sacrifices to the Dao was because he felt that the great war would soon begin, and he hoped to receive the protection of the Great Dao, just for psychological comfort.
Zhou Qi watched the grand and solemn sacrificial ceremony with neither arrogance nor servility. The entire ceremony lasted for a year, which was half a year longer than the symbolic sermon at the stele.
Inside the main hall, Bibei was giving his final speech on launching the war against the Extreme Mountain World.
"That Lord Lingshan is ungrateful and disrespectful to my Evil God World, killing members of my Evil God World. His crime is unforgivable!"
"You are all people who have rendered meritorious service to me. I hope that this time you can do the same as before, cutting through thorns and brambles on the battlefield, terrifying them, and making the Extreme Mountain World bow down to me again!"
The numerous powerful beings from the Immortal Realm below knelt down and said, "We will certainly obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of powerful immortals before him, Bi Bei felt a surge of pride.
"On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the three of you will lead the main force as the vanguard. On Friday and Saturday, lead the main force to provide support at any time. On Sunday, stay in the world of the evil god, mobilize manpower, and coordinate all resources. There must be no mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the six men were about to kneel down and accept the order when Zhou San hurriedly said, "My lord, I dare to offer my advice, but I believe that Zhou Qi's cultivation is too profound, and it would be more prudent for him to serve as the vanguard."
Bi Bei was taken aback by what he heard. He really didn't expect that even at this time, Zhou San would still be so hostile to Zhou Qi. Didn't he know that this was not the time for infighting?
His face instantly turned dark, making his already purple skin appear even duller.
Seeing this, Zhou Qi said at the opportune moment, "My lord, I also want to share your burden. I am confident that we will win the first battle and show the might of our evil god world!"
Upon seeing this, Bi Bei thought to himself that Zhou Qi understood the bigger picture and said with great satisfaction, "Zhou Qi, you don't need to pay attention to what others say. Since I have already made a decision, I cannot change it overnight. You can coordinate the war from the rear, and I can focus on fighting against Lord Lingshan without worrying about trouble in the rear!"
Upon hearing this on Wednesday, Zhou Qi realized that his words had annoyed Bi Bei, but seeing how much Bi Bei trusted him, his anger burned even more fiercely.
"My lord, Zhou Qi has been embezzling funds for personal gain over the years, taking advantage of the Zhou Wan Chamber of Commerce to amass wealth. If he is allowed to guard the Evil God World on his own, he will surely become even more unscrupulous. I urge you, my lord, to see the truth!"
After saying this, Bi Bei's face darkened even more, while Zhou Qi remained calm and composed.
Bang!
Bi Bei slammed his hand on the throne beneath him, and the throne snapped in two. He said coldly, "Zhou San, do you know what you're saying?"
On Wednesday, thinking he had caught Zhou Qi red-handed, he immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, I have witnesses who can prove that Zhou Qi has embezzled a large amount of immortal crystals. His greed for wealth is insane and unrestrained. He is heartless and depraved, and unworthy to be a subject!"
Bi Bei sneered, "Oh? You have witnesses? Bring them up."
On Wednesday, seemingly oblivious to the chill in Bi Bei's words, Zhou Qi was asked to summon witnesses. He assumed that Zhou Qi would be severely punished once the matter was clarified, and thus hastily summoned dozens of figures to the main hall.
These dozens of people were all high-ranking members of Zhou Wan's Chamber of Commerce. They were all loyal followers of Chi Feiwan and their original purpose was to monitor Zhou Qi. However, after Chi Feiwan's death, they lost their leader and waited until Wednesday to come to them.
Zhou San proudly declared, "Your Excellency is wise; these people can all testify that Zhou Qi embezzled a staggering amount of immortal crystals!"
Bi Bei was too lazy to waste words. He pointed out with one finger, and purple light shot out, instantly passing through the bodies of these people!
These dozens of people didn't even have time to scream before they were completely destroyed.
He was horrified when he saw this scene on Wednesday. Now he finally understood Bi Bei's attitude: he was doing everything he could to protect Zhou Qi!
Thinking of this, Zhou San immediately knelt down: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
With a wave of his hand, Bi Bei revealed a magnificent hall filled with celestial artifacts, magical treasures, and divine elixirs—a truly spectacular sight!
"Useless! All you do is fight amongst yourselves. This is the supplies Zhou Qi stockpiled using immortal crystals, enough to support the great war against the Extreme Mountain World. You all do nothing but waste your time. If you were all like Zhou Qi, I wouldn't have to worry about you!"
Seeing such a massive amount of immortal materials on Wednesday, Zhou Qi finally understood the source of his confidence. His heart sank to the bottom, realizing that he was just a clown who had also helped Zhou Qi eliminate a group of disobedient subordinates. He was utterly stupid.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Bi Bei waved his hand, too lazy to waste any more words with them, and disappeared.
Zhou Qi chuckled and looked at Zhou San, saying, "Third brother, if you try to slander me again, remember to use your brain. I openly gather immortal crystals, how could I be without a purpose? How ridiculous!"
Ignoring Wednesday's liver-colored face, Tuesday laughed and said, "Seventh Brother, some people are just overestimating themselves. They dare to oppose you without even looking in the mirror. Are they even cut out for it?"
Zhou Qi laughed and said, "Second brother, you have good judgment. You didn't go along with them. That's why I say you're wise in your foolishness."
"Come on, I can't compare to you. The battle is imminent. Come on, let's go to my place for a drink. We're going to war tomorrow, so let's drink until we drop today."
The two walked away laughing, completely ignoring the people behind them, looking incredibly carefree!
Several decades passed quickly, and more than ten thousand immortal ships arrived on the wind, sailing in the chaotic sea.
This is the vanguard of the evil god world, consisting of 100,000 powerful immortals, who intend to destroy the Extreme Mountain world!
They had just stepped into the sphere of influence of the Extreme Mountain World when they were greeted by a group of people from the Extreme Mountain World of similar size.
Logically speaking, the Chaos Sea is boundless, and even with a scale of 100,000 people, the probability of encountering each other is extremely small. Both sides wanted to launch a surprise attack on the other, so their actions were relatively silent. Unexpectedly, they still managed to run into each other.
This was undoubtedly thanks to Zhou Qi and Wu Dong. As the two top leaders in the great war, they naturally knew the movements of their world army.
This is also because the two of them had long regarded this chaotic sea area as the property of the Cloud Palace. If they were to wage war without any scruples, after millions of immortal beings fought, who knows how many worlds would be left intact!
Therefore, the two decided to have a head-on confrontation, making the first battle the final battle!
After both sides took their stances, Wu Dong stood alone at the forefront of the Extreme Mountain World, while Zhou Er, Zhou San, and Zhou Si stood side by side in the Evil God World, which could be said to give them a significant advantage in the Great Luo Domain!
But on Tuesday, he frowned and transmitted his voice, "This Wu Dong cultivates the Five Elements Laws and his combat power is incredibly terrifying. You all have seen it, so you must go all out later and not hold back!"
The two agreed. No matter how much infighting there was among their own people, they were always on the same side when facing external enemies, and would naturally do their best!
Wu Dong surveyed his opponents with an invincible expression, showing no fear in the face of these 100,000 powerful immortals, and declared boldly.
"With strength that can uproot mountains and an aura that can overwhelm the world, I alone reign supreme and fight against the carefree!"
Without waiting for any opening remarks from either side, he walked alone toward the three people on Tuesday.
A major battle is about to break out, and it has already entered a white-hot phase!
