The plane where Seris resides has achieved a temporary victory, but the real war has only just begun.
The reaction from the pantheon far exceeded Jiang Yan's expectations.
Almost simultaneously, the advancement of all fifty planes he had developed was thwarted.
Apart from the true gods of the Holy Light pantheon and the Undead pantheon personally descending, and the few worlds with inside agents cooperating in the charade, the other wars were all at a stalemate.
Once the gods realized the immense potential for faith represented by those planes, they spared no effort.
They used all the faith they had earned during this period to awaken their respective pantheon's legions and rush to the battlefield.
The angelic legions, after their ascension, are extremely powerful, but because they have seized too much land, each plane is almost simultaneously besieged by multiple pantheons.
As other pantheons followed Jiang Yan's example, using various lords to change their faith and awaken an even larger army of divine servants.
Finally, outnumbered, they had no choice but to retreat to the border.
After all, the warriors of those divine servant legions not only possessed the realm of high-level gods, but were also creatures comparable to top-tier mythological beings.
At this moment, in a certain plane.
After repelling the angel legion's attack, the armies of the four pantheons of water, fire, earth, and power did not stop their defense but instead marched towards the territory of the Holy Light pantheon.
The faith on this continent has been divided up, and Jiang Yan, being the first to act, has occupied nearly a third of the land by himself, which is intolerable to the various pantheons.
Just as nearly 50,000 high-ranking gods stepped into the border.
A vast power of holy light descended from the horizon.
The angel legion, which was inferior in both level and number, launched an attack without hesitation.
The previous retreat was only because the Holy Lord had given the order.
For them, death is not a fear. When the holy light shines upon all realms, they will return once more.
"kill!"
On the other side, the legions of the four pantheons are also fearless and invincible weapons of war.
Without much communication, the battle escalated to a fever pitch in an instant.
The war angels, wielding holy flame swords, charged forward against an enemy force many times their size. Despite being outnumbered, they managed to unleash a few powerful strikes before being slain in droves, only to be reborn in holy light, repeating the same scene.
The war angels abandoned their attack, raised their shields, and placed the healing angel in the center as a protective barrier.
The Unbreakable Crown's effect was maximized, blocking all incoming attacks.
But there were just too many enemies, and soon fine cracks appeared on the shield.
The group of bone dragon knights had no choice but to stand guard around, constantly spewing dragon breath to annihilate the incoming energy and share the burden.
The angels of punishment took advantage of this brief lull to swing their chains, attempting to drag the enemy into the holy prison.
Meanwhile, the Holy Judgment Angel squad infiltrated the enemy ranks below, swiftly assassinating one divine guard after another.
With the blessing of Holy Light Pegasus and the effect of the Echo skill, no one except warriors of the Power God system can withstand their Holy Judgment.
However, the Four Gods Alliance quickly responded.
The commander of the Earth God system suddenly clenched his fist, his hands now covered in rings.
War machine? Gravity Ring, each can apply gravity ten times the area, with a maximum stack of a thousand times.
Instantly, everyone froze, falling halfway down from the sky. Even the holy angels in the midst of their assassination had to expend some of their divine power to resist gravity, greatly reducing their efficiency.
The other pantheons are not far behind.
The fire element summoned a vast expanse of flames, within which all fire-type creatures would be blessed, while other elements would suffer continuous burning.
The water element arrives on a vast ocean. Similarly, beings of other elements will be oppressed and bound within it.
The remaining pantheons of power were even more direct. They donned full heavy armor, and with their already powerful physiques, they charged straight at the angelic legion without regard for anything else.
As divine power clashed with the laws of nature, countless warriors fell on both sides every second.
Golden blood, along with the disintegrating elements of various systems, drifted through the air.
All the angels tightened their defenses around the healing angels, barely managing to launch a counterattack by relying on their various enhanced abilities and constant resurrection.
This is the toughest battle the angels have fought since they descended.
There were no invincible archangels participating in the battle, nor were there any powerful seraphim commanders.
Only ordinary angel warriors fight against an ancient legion of gods many times their size to protect their faith.
"For the glory of the Holy Light!"
After resurrecting the fallen angel once again, the healing angels, whose magic was about to run out, transformed their staffs into longswords and flew out from the layers of protection.
Now that they are no longer able to resurrect, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with their comrades as warriors.
That's enough.
At that moment, a sigh echoed from beyond the heavens.
A massive beam of faith swept down, drawing all the angels back.
The power pantheon, blinded by rage, tried to chase after the beam of light, but was stopped by the combined efforts of several other pantheon commanders.
"The opposing god has made his move. Do not pursue further; we have already achieved our objective."
Upon hearing this, the bloodlust in the eyes of the commander of the Power God system slowly faded, and he calmed down.
"Continue the attack and fulfill the orders of the gods."
......
The 90th level of the Abyss Battlefield, within the Divine Kingdom.
The angel legion, almost all of them severely wounded, disregarded their own medical treatment and knelt before Jiang Yan to beg for forgiveness:
“We are incompetent and failed to stop the heretics. We beg the Holy Lord to punish us.”
"No, you did very well. Despite being at a disadvantage, you held your own against the divine servant legions of the four major pantheons. You are worthy of the name of the Holy Light."
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, using his divine power to lift everyone up.
A golden light shone from his left eye, and a gentle power emanated from it, showering the crowd with energy.
The very nature of life is that with a single thought, all things are revived.
In an instant, all the angels were restored to their original state.
"Keep fighting! Other planes are still struggling and need your support."
"Yes, Holy Lord, we will spare no effort to eradicate heresy!" the angels shouted fervently.
Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, opening the faith channel and teleporting them to other stalemate planes once again.
After doing all this, Jiang Yan's expression gradually darkened.
He could sense that the temple in the previous plane was being rapidly demolished, and faith was being lost on a large scale.
"very good."
Jiang Yan sneered.
He was well aware of the purpose of these pantheons.
They're simply jealous of the vast land of faith he seized earlier.
The joint attack from this dimension is a kind of probe.
If his response is not strong enough, other pantheons that are currently observing will likely follow suit.
At that time, apart from those few planes where true gods are stationed, none of the others will be able to hold out.
"I underestimated the depth of these ancient pantheons. If I were only the Lord of the Holy Light Pantheon, I would probably have suffered a great loss this time."
Jiang Yan clenched his right hand in mid-air, and the dark jade-colored natural disaster appeared in his hand. In an instant, his entire demeanor changed from sacred and compassionate to cold and deathly still.
The world quietly turned upside down, and the phantoms of four layers of hell appeared behind it.
At this moment, he was no longer the Holy Lord of Light who saved all living beings, but the Emperor of the Dead who spread death.
With a thought, two beams of faith shot down.
Sheena and Asar appeared simultaneously in the divine realm.
"Your Majesty."
The two seemed to realize something and bowed excitedly.
"Target: plane b021. This time, you are free to use all your weapons and equipment."
Jiang Yan remained indifferent.
Since these pantheons don't want him to have an easy time, then they should all just give up.
The pantheon of the undead has never needed faith.
All you need is... death.
