Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree
Chapter 533 - 504: The Empire’s Annihilation
"It’s over!"
Gu Qingyang watched the battlefield of the Ancient Dust Star System. When he saw Emperor Bagerson being slain by Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, he realized that the battle was over.
The last Quasi-Immortal had fallen, and the Divine Eye Empire could no longer stop the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
To be honest.
Gu Qingyang quite acknowledged the strength of Emperor Bagerson.
He could battle Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, and his strength was at the peak of Quasi-Immortal, just one step short of breaking through to immortality.
If such a powerhouse could submit, when Gu Qingyang condenses his Immortal Vein, the other party would undoubtedly achieve the tenth tier.
In that case.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court would not only gain a tenth-tier powerhouse, but Gu Qingyang would also have an excellent channel for Faith Power.
After all, the Faith Power provided by a tenth-tier powerhouse is quite considerable.
Unfortunately.
A strong figure like Emperor Bagerson was destined never to submit to others.
Unlike the Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable.
Such dominant figures would never willingly submit to others.
Falling.
Was the best end for him.
Then.
Gu Qingyang looked at his data panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Heavenly Dao Divine Tree
Lifespan: Immortality
Tier: Ninth tier peak (56 trillion/100 trillion)
Divine Kingdom: Ninth tier (143 trillion/100,000 trillion)
Immortal Body: Not transformed (0/100)
Heavenly Dao Origin: 36,852,033
...
In this battle with the Divine Eye Empire, after slaying many powerhouses, many of the Divine Eye Empire’s strong ones were sacrificed, so Gu Qingyang’s Evolution Value surged rapidly.
However.
The growth of tens of trillions in Evolution Value did not cause much emotional fluctuation in Gu Qingyang’s heart.
After all.
Without the transformation of the Immortal Body, even if the Evolution Value broke through to ten billion, Gu Qingyang had no possibility of ascending to the tenth tier.
So, Gu Qingyang wasn’t too concerned about the amount of Evolution Value.
Furthermore.
There’s the Faith Power.
In spite of a large foundation of followers, Gu Qingyang’s Faith Power these days not only did not increase but instead decreased significantly compared to before.
The fundamental reason for this situation was that the Cyan Yang Divine Court waged war against the Divine Eye Empire, with the army’s cultivators exchanging for various Elixirs and resources considerably, causing Gu Qingyang’s Faith Power to be insufficient.
After all, warfare relies on logistical support, and the logistical support of the Cyan Yang Divine Court lies in the shops of the Divine Kingdom.
It’s precisely because Gu Qingyang originally had abundant Faith Power that he could easily supply this battle. Otherwise, if the Divine Kingdom’s shops couldn’t exchange goods, it would be troublesome.
Of course.
There’s another reason.
This battle ended quickly.
From the start of the war until now, in less than half a month, the Divine Eye Empire had been completely defeated.
If it were a protracted war lasting years, even with over a hundred trillion Faith Power as a foundation, Gu Qingyang might still not be able to withstand it.
In this respect, Gu Qingyang understood one thing.
No matter what.
One must always hold a considerable portion of Faith Power in hand for the followers’ exchange needs, never allowing a situation where the shops of the Divine Kingdom have nothing to exchange.
Should such a situation arise, it could affect the followers’ sincerity of faith.
Furthermore.
Unless necessary, it’s better not to engage in large-scale wars.
If issues could be resolved by top experts, let the top experts resolve them, thus reducing resource expenditure.
However.
This also requires balancing the measure well.
Because waging war with other forces is also a method of experience, always letting top experts make a move while suppressing other cultivators would eventually lead to many drawbacks over time.
If they don’t engage in war for long periods.
Once a battle is needed, how much power can these armies truly exert?
Furthermore.
There is the Heavenly Dao Origin.
The Divine Eye Empire had many powerhouses, and since they all belonged to other worlds, after killing these powerhouses, Gu Qingyang plundered the corresponding Heavenly Dao Origin.
Several million Heavenly Dao Origin, equivalent to devouring several living worlds.
It must be said.
The Divine Eye Empire’s foundation was genuinely thick.
If the Divine Eye Empire were thoroughly destroyed, Gu Qingyang estimated that his Heavenly Dao Origin could break through forty million.
"Looking at the current situation, destroying the Divine Eye Empire shouldn’t take too long, a month should be sufficient to complete this battle!"
Gu Qingyang mused.
With the top experts gone, the remaining Divine Kingdom Empire’s cultivators were destined to be slaughtered at will, with the estimated time of a month considering the vast expanse of the five star systems.
Besides.
There’s the issue of other forces.
However.
Gu Qingyang wasn’t too concerned.
With the Divine Eye Empire annihilated, what waves could the other forces create?
After this battle.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court was destined to become considerably more powerful.
...
Just as Gu Qingyang anticipated.
With the fall of Emperor Bagerson, the Divine Eye Empire’s strength was greatly diminished, and it no longer had the slightest ability to resist.
With Demon Venerable Xuan Yin leading the Cyan Yang Divine Court army, they stormed the five star systems with the force of thunder.
The five star systems.
All came under the control of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Within the five star systems, all non-Cyan Yang Divine Court forces were expelled, including the Celestial Cyan Dynasty and the Lingxiao Dynasty and other forces.
As for this.
These forces were naturally infuriated.
After all, the Divine Eye Empire had dominated the starry sky for countless epochs, controlling countless resources. Now, with the Cyan Yang Divine Court wanting to monopolize all the resources, they were naturally unwilling.
However——
When Demon Venerable Xuan Yin made a move, eradicating several ninth-tier powerhouses and exterminating the armies from several forces, the remaining forces calmed down and then orderly withdrew from the five star systems.
It was only then they realized that though the mighty tiger, the Divine Eye Empire, was dead, the Cyan Yang Divine Court was no lamb but a tiger even stronger than the Divine Eye Empire.
They didn’t dare to resist the former Divine Eye Empire; how much less could they resist the stronger Cyan Yang Divine Court.
If they didn’t leave.
They would all die.
Therefore.
These forces could only leave.
Following this, things were much simpler.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court army swept the five star systems, seeking out all remaining remnants of the Divine Eye Empire and slaying them all.
To root out the grass completely! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
This was something that had to be done.
With the two great forces fighting to this extent, there was no room for reconciliation. If mercy were shown to the Divine Eye Empire’s people now, it would be cruel to the other members of the Cyan Yang Divine Court in the future.
Nobody could guarantee whether the Divine Eye Empire would make a comeback.
Once the former overlord of the starry sky, it was not entirely impossible that they had left some backhands.
Therefore.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court had to exterminate the Divine Eye Empire completely.
This war lasted a full two months. Until the last Divine Eye Empire cultivator was slain, the five star systems truly fell under the control of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
