Two months later, at the Holy Spirit City Lord's Temple.
"Your Majesty, these are war machines produced with all our might. Including the stockpile, there are a total of 3,681 Equalizers, 1,177 Soul Cannons, 12 Cataclysmic Battle Banners, and 66 Lucky Coins..."
Anubis handed a super-large storage device to Jiang Yan and reported in detail: "In addition, we have also collected some powerful war machines from other pantheons, such as trigger-type space-trapping devices."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yan nodded and threw a series of supplies into the divine kingdom.
Although this mission is not life-threatening, it concerns whether I can advance to the highest level, so I must go all out.
"This journey may take an unknown amount of time. During this period, the development of Holy Spirit City and the various planes will depend on you all. Anna, Tinas, please take good care of us."
Jiang Yan gave the instructions again.
“Leave it to us, Holy Lord.” The two bowed and accepted the order.
"Grim Reaper, if any ignorant forces cause trouble or disobey orders, I grant you the authority to act expediently and resolve the situation immediately."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this is what I do best," Death nodded.
"The rest of you shall proceed according to the previously established plan, without slacking off."
"Yes, Holy Lord/Emperor."
The high-ranking officials of the remaining two pantheons accepted the orders one by one.
After giving instructions to everyone, Jiang Yan's gaze lingered on a certain spot, and his voice softened:
"Miaolin, wait for me to come back."
"Um..."
......
After an unusually long period of unconsciousness, Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, alerted by the notifications from all realms.
[Advanced Quest: The Only Glimmer of Hope has been unlocked.]
[Background Information: In the 999th Era, the Lord of the Abyss personally killed the third Emperor of the Underworld and utterly shattered the entire Ancient Underworld. The gods, who had been observing, fled like frightened birds, completely losing their will to fight. Simultaneously, without the protection of the Underworld pantheon, the various planes gradually became powerless to resist the Abyss army's attack, and the myriad realms began to fall, thus completely unbalancing the power between the two sides.]
The most powerful Holy Light pantheon knew that if they continued to delay, all the lands of faith would eventually fall. Therefore, they made a desperate gamble, gathering all their forces to attack the largest interdimensional passage in the abyss, forcing the enemy into a decisive battle.
[Lord Jiang Yan, you have now replaced the original Holy Lord of Light as the supreme commander of this decisive battle. Please exert all your strength to defeat the Abyss, and find this only glimmer of hope for this illusion, and for the future countless eons to come.]
[Please note! Although you can retry an unlimited number of times, time in this illusion is synchronized with the future. If you fail to pass through 94 years later, you will not be able to return to your original world to participate in the true final battle against the Abyss, all realms will be completely destroyed, and all eras will fall into eternal silence.]
"What a terrible start, but let's give it a try anyway."
Jiang Yan had already heard Tinas tell him the general background before he came, so he wasn't too surprised.
He took a deep breath and silently said "begin" in his mind.
The first cycle has begun. Current number of illusionary realm resets: 0.
As a peculiar surge of power flashed by, the entire still space began to flow.
"Holy Lord".
Before Jiang Yan could fully sense this world, a familiar voice came.
A tall, slender, and exquisitely beautiful six-winged angel hurried in from outside the temple. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, her eyes were pure and holy, and she exuded the aura of a powerful god.
"Anna?"
Jiang Yan called out in surprise, not expecting that she would be the first person he saw in this illusion.
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, the originally dashing six-winged angel suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan was taken aback.
He entered in his true form. Could it be that he discovered the Holy Lord of Light had turned into a human? Are the affairs of the various realms so unreliable? But that doesn't make sense... discovering someone has turned into a human shouldn't elicit this reaction.
“No…nothing, Holy Lord, it’s just that you’ve always addressed me as a priest…” Anna said, lowering her head and blushing slightly.
She never imagined that she, a Seraphim with the lowest strength, would one day be addressed by her real name so affectionately by the Holy Lord.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Yan chuckled and shook his head, asking, "Did you rush over here because you need to report something?"
"Holy Lord".
Hearing that she was being asked about serious matters, Anna's expression turned serious, and she said respectfully:
"Thirty-six angel legions, 108 paladin legions, 360 light giant legions, 821 mixed legions, and 120 logistics units have all arrived at their designated positions and are ready to launch a general offensive at any time."
"Furthermore, several domain lords from the Abyss just provoked us in front of the battle lines, but were defeated by Her Majesty Loshia. Is that...?"
"!!!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Yan, who had been wondering what stage they were in, immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly asked, "Where is Luo Xiya now? Did she chase after us?!"
“Your Majesty is wise. Two monsters have escaped, and Your Majesty says you will kill them to curb the Abyss’s arrogance,” Annalia said with reverence in her eyes.
"Damn it, that brainless idiot! Quick, Anna, pass on my orders! Tell her to come back as soon as possible! Hopefully, it's not too late."
Jiang Yan urged impatiently.
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Although Annalia was somewhat puzzled, she immediately accepted the order.
"By the way, Holy Lord, if you are in a particular hurry, you can directly recall or notify His Majesty through the faith channel."
"Hmm? That's right!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan slapped his forehead. The long teleportation time and the suddenness of the event had made him somewhat flustered. He immediately began to draw upon the power of faith.
"Such immense power of faith..."
Through this communication, Jiang Yan discovered just how vast the Holy Light pantheon of faith is now. It covers almost two-thirds of the entire universe, and the lowest level of faith is at least fanatical, even approaching piety.
It was more than a hundred times larger than his faith in his original world.
However, now is not the time to worry about that. Jiang Yan locked onto Luo Xiya's location and waved his hand, casting a beam of faith.
"Go back!"
Bang!
The once invincible golden holy light suddenly shattered just as the teleportation was about to complete.
In the final scene, it can be vaguely seen that Losia has entered Holy War mode and is controlling "Endless War Will" to fight against four Abyss Supremes at the same time. Meanwhile, a chilling black mist is spreading from the surrounding cracks, completely sealing off that space.
That was the power of the Abyss Demon Emperor at his peak.
"It's still too late!"
Jiang Yan couldn't help but punch the void.
Loshia possesses the Holy War's protective shield, and under normal circumstances, she could easily escape even when surrounded by multiple Supreme Beings. But her opponent lacked any martial ethics; even a Supreme Being would resort to a sneak attack!
Damn it, all you damn worlds, why do you have to time your arrival so precisely?!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Has something happened to Your Majesty?"
Seeing this, Annalia's expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to ask.
"It's alright, Anna, we'll see you later."
Jiang Yan gave a wry smile. Starting the game with one less of his most important combat force, how could he possibly fight?
Without hesitation, he activated the divine power within his body and self-destructed.
"Start over!"
