Chapter 933: Gate of Humans and Gods

"Go die! Cackle!"
Little Red moved as fast as thunder, her body erupting with earth-shaking dragon roars as she struck toward Qing Feizi with overwhelming force, her palm radiating the terrifying might of a True Dragon.
Ling'er and Ning Xin'er both tightly shut their eyes, unwilling to witness the bloody scene.
However, Little Red's palm abruptly stopped just above Qing Feizi's head, refusing to descend.
"What's wrong?" Ning Xin'er peeked through a slit in her eyelids.
"Again!"
Little Red gritted her pearly white teeth, letting out another dragon roar. Crimson scales sprouted across her hands as she unleashed even greater power, striking toward Qing Feizi once more.
Yet again, her palm halted just above Qing Feizi's head, still refusing to land.
"Tch!"
Little Red withdrew the Divine Extinguishing Dragon Fire back into her body and flicked her sleeves. "I can't bring myself to do it either! What should we do now?"
Ling'er and Ning Xin'er had no answer either, immediately closing their eyes and pretending to cultivate. Their expressions seemed to say, Since you caused this mess, you deal with it yourself.
"You two…!"
Little Red was furious, her gaze locking onto Qing Feizi once more. A glint of inspiration flashed in her bright eyes as a brilliant idea suddenly surfaced.
She walked up to Qing Feizi, a faint smile on her face. "Actually, I have a pretty good idea that might just save your life!"
"What do you want?" Qing Feizi asked.
Qing Feizi knew she was doomed today. Even if Ning Xin'er, Ling'er, and Little Red couldn't bring themselves to kill her, the Human Slayer King would personally execute her.
There was no way out—this was the price of knowing what she shouldn't have. With a Supreme-level being overseeing this place, she had no chance of escape.
But who would willingly choose death?
If given a choice, she would naturally choose to live.
Little Red leaned in close to Qing Feizi's ear and whispered something.
Upon hearing it, Qing Feizi's face flushed crimson, her expression turning bashful. "You want me to sell my soul, serve a demon, and become the Human Slayer King's slave? I can't do it! Just kill me instead!"
Though Qing Feizi's cultivation was inferior to the Human Slayer King and the Divine Dragon Younglings, she was the Divine Maiden of the Lingxiao Sacred Land and an inner disciple of the Divine Prodigy Palace. How exceptional was her talent? How noble was her status?
Even the most rebellious geniuses of the Divine Prodigy Palace were beneath her notice—how could she possibly submit to being a great demon's slave?
She would rather die than serve a demon.
Little Red frowned. "So you really do see Ning Xiaochuan as a demon and refuse to yield. Fine! Though I can't bring myself to kill you, I'm sure the Demonic Beasts outside would love to devour you. Look at you—your skin is so delicate, your cultivation so high, your beauty so striking. Do you think those beasts would defile you before eating you? Would they strip you naked? Would they—"
Qing Feizi had initially thought Little Red was a simple-minded young girl, but now she realized—Little Red was a little demon with an adorable face.
"You... you would really do this?" Qing Feizi finally grew uneasy. If she were truly handed over to those Demonic Beasts, the outcome would undoubtedly be horrific.
Little Red nodded solemnly. "It seems you still doubt the will of our Dragon Race. In that case, there’s nothing left to discuss!"
"Wait!" Qing Feizi clenched her teeth tightly. "I agree!"
"Hahaha..." Little Red threw her head back and laughed, her hands on her hips. The laughter was utterly sinister, like a bully who had just tormented an innocent woman.
Little Red nodded in satisfaction. "I’m quite pleased with your decision. Now, swear an oath to the deity immediately!"
"Repeat after me: I, Qing Feizi, willingly become Ning Xiaochuan’s servant. From this day forth, I shall serve my master wholeheartedly, obey his commands absolutely, and uphold his authority without fail. I shall never betray him. If I break this oath, may I fall into the Bottomless Abyss, suffer the Earth Fire Heavenly Tribulation, and have my soul scattered and spirit destroyed."
Helpless, Qing Feizi could only repeat the oath, a wave of desolation washing over her. If she had known this would be her fate, she never should have followed the Human Slayer King to the Demonic Beast Holy Nation. Now, she had become his servant. If she returned to the Central Land World, she would surely be scorned by all. She couldn’t help but wonder if she had been schemed against from the very beginning by that wicked dragon girl.
The Manggu Plains, one of the two Death Forbidden Lands in the Northern Frontier.
This was a desolate and vast wilderness, its ground covered in black soil. From the fissures torn open in the earth, black smoke billowed, filling the air with a potent toxicity.
In some of the larger cracks, half-rotted coffins were partially exposed. These coffins emitted a faint glow, as if the corpses buried within might crawl out at any moment.
It was said that the Manggu Plains were the burial ground of Supreme-level beings.
Every coffin contained the bones of a Supreme, every tombstone bore the name of a Supreme, and even the black soil seemed infused with their blood, carrying a force of death.
All cultivators believed the Manggu Plains to be the origin of life on the Tianxu Continent.
But only those Supreme-level beings who had truly set foot here knew the truth—this place held no life, only death and desolation.
"Boom—!"
Suddenly, deep within the Manggu Plains, the earth trembled violently.
The ground split apart, and black mist surged from the underground, shooting into the sky to form a dark cloud that enveloped the entire plains.
An ancient Demonic Wall rose from the earth.
The wall stretched for 1 kilometer in length, ascending higher and higher—first 10 meters, then 100 meters, then 1 kilometer, then 10 kilometers... until its peak was lost to sight.
From the ground, it became clear that this was no mere wall—it was a Heavenly Ladder.
A ladder leading to the Nine Heavens Divine Realm.
A woman wreathed in powerful demonic energy stood atop the ladder, her arms raised high, her gaze fixed on the vast starry sky above. In a resonant voice, she proclaimed:
"The Heavenly Dao Reverses, Time and Space are in Chaos. The Seals Dissipate, the Gate of Humans and Gods..."
If Ning Xiaochuan were at the Manggu Plains at this moment, he would recognize the woman standing atop the Heavenly Ladder. She looked identical to the Heavenly Dream Demon Emperor!
She was one of the three escaped Quasi-God Thoughts of the Heavenly Dream Demon Empress!
"Whoosh!"
At the top of the Heavenly Ladder, a massive gate opened. Beams of divine light in the shapes of dragons, phoenixes, tigers, and tortoises radiated from the gate, illuminating half of the Manggu Plains.
A dragon-shaped divine light surged into a coffin suspended midair above an earth fissure.
A piercing screech echoed from within the coffin.
"Boom!"
A tattered ancient corpse burst out of the coffin, landing at the base of the Heavenly Ladder. It bowed slightly toward the top of the ladder, remaining motionless in that posture.
The corpse wore a decayed Daoist robe and a rusted bronze Taoist crown. A dragon-shaped shadow coiled around its body, its head fused with the corpse’s skull. In life, this had undoubtedly been a Supreme Elder of the Daoist sect.
As the divine lights continued plunging underground, more ancient corpses emerged one after another.
Some wore imperial robes, others Buddhist robes, and some were clad in battle armor... In life, they had all been peerless experts, with cultivation realms of at least the Supreme Realm.
The corpse in imperial robes merged with the tiger-shaped divine light, its head fusing with a tiger’s skull while the tiger’s body draped over its back.
The Buddhist nun in Buddhist robes merged with the phoenix-shaped divine light, her entire body engulfed in flames.
Every Supreme corpse that merged with the divine light revived, their numbers growing as they gathered at the base of the Heavenly Ladder like devout servants, kowtowing reverently toward the Heavenly Dream Demon Empress above.
"The Gate of Humans and Gods has opened. Descend, O living beings of the Divine River Civilization!" declared the Heavenly Dream Demon Empress.
The Gate of Humans and Gods at the top of the Heavenly Ladder trembled violently as a massive nine-headed demonic beast flew out, transforming into a human figure that landed beside the Heavenly Dream Demon Empress.
He appeared as a man in his thirties, exuding an eerie aura, clad in purple battle armor with nine Supreme Imperial Artifact-level spears strapped to his back. "Finally, I have arrived in the Great Yan World. In this God-Sealing War, I will surely condense a Divine Spark and ascend as a True God. All living beings in the world shall tremble before me!"
The Heavenly Dream Demon Empress asked, "Nine-Headed Purple Flood Dragon, why are you the only one to pass through the Gate of Humans and Gods? Where is the God-Slaying Child? Where are the other rulers?"
The Nine-Headed Purple Flood Dragon stood with his hands behind his back, his expression domineering. "I came ahead to assist you in guarding the Gate of Humans and Gods, ensuring those lowly creatures of the Great Yan World do not destroy it. The God-Slaying Child and the other rulers will soon arrive. There may even be Quasi-God-level beings descending in person."
"Quasi-God-level beings arriving in their True Forms? The cost of that must be immense!" remarked the Heavenly Dream Demon Empress.
While True Gods could not descend into the Great Yan World, Quasi-Gods could be sent at great expense.
Even the arrival of a single Quasi-God would instantly shift the balance of the entire Great Yan World.
The Nine-Headed Purple Flood Dragon nodded and said, "As long as we can achieve victory in this God-Sealing War, any price is worth paying. The commotion caused by opening the Gate of Humans and Gods is too great. I suppose those so-called Supreme beings on the Tianxu Continent have already been startled! "
In the eyes of the Nine-Headed Purple Flood Dragon, all living beings of the Great Yan World were nothing but lowly creatures. Even those hailed as Supreme within the Great Yan World were merely slightly stronger lowly beings in his view. No matter how many came, he could slaughter them all.
"When the God-Slaying Child and the other rulers arrive in the Great Yan World, we can begin the purge. Every living being who refuses to submit to the Demon God will be exterminated—not a single one spared!" The Nine-Headed Purple Flood Dragon let out a cold laugh.
Very well! The God-Slaying Child is about to descend, born as a Supreme from the moment of birth. The descendants of deities are born into the True Human Realm. How many powerful young experts will emerge? Ning Xiaochuan's fated nemesis will also appear, and other Divine Dragon Younglings will make their grand entrance. The true God-Sealing War is about to begin!
