She had played with Li Qianxia and even dined with Li Changzhou, the Supreme Immortal, but she had never felt that Immortals were so terrifying.
The other party was merely squinting at her, and yet it made her feel as if her entire body was being pricked with needles.
Zheng Qing took a deep breath, her Talisman heating up to stabilize her mind, and she loudly declared, "The King of Black Fog has instructed me to inform you that by sunset today, all Immortals must head to Mars to discuss the rights and duties of Immortals on Earth!"
A few Immortals exchanged glances.
"First, get the artifact!" one Immortal said.
The rest of the Immortals nodded.
"Just you?" Wu Yue raised his hand, unleashing a vast Thunder Sea.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mountains exploded one after another, the Earth shattered piece by piece, burying everything in sight, altering it, turning it to ash.
An Immortal's strike, terrifyingly formidable!
But as the ashes swirled, they recondensed into a group of hundreds led by Mr. Liu.
"Lingyan Pavilion," Chang Ming said in a deep voice.
An artifact of unknown level could only be hung as a portrait. The people in the portrait would become the heroes in the hearts of the people of Xia Country. As long as the portrait wasn't destroyed and as long as there was even one person who believed themselves to be from Xia Country, the figures in the portrait would not die!
But unless they suffered a fatal injury, no player would willingly enter the Pavilion.
Not only would their personality change, but their cultivation would also cease forever.
The other few Immortals, who were also top members of the Special Warfare Bureau before becoming Immortals, were aware of this artifact.
An Immortal frowned, "With these people in the way, we can't break through quickly, and even after breaking through, it will take time to search through a bunch of rooms."
Another Immortal changed their expression and said, "First to Mars, this isn't urgent. This time Li Changzhou probably wants us to sign a contract, we can sign, but Xia Country must be ours."
"Let's go."
"Stop Chang Ming and Wu Yue!" Mr. Liu rushed forward recklessly.
Wu Yue sneered, "Think to delay me, using Li Changzhou to kill me?"
He raised his hand, and with a thunderous roar, he pulled up a great mountain, suspending it midair. Lightning transformed into a cage, enveloping Mr. Liu and the others, along with the base storing the artifacts.
Mr. Liu's attack hit the lightning cage and sparked a tiny, insignificant spark, akin to a mosquito hitting an electric swatter.
Chang Ming and the others soared into the sky. Their Protective Magical Power created friction with the atmosphere, releasing vast amounts of light and heat, wrapping them in flames.
"Be wary of a trap."
"Cai Yao hunted his sister, and Li Changzhou killed only three people to establish his authority for Earth, he must genuinely be considering Earth's welfare, but we should still be cautious," they discussed while heading towards Mars.
Immortals from other nations, originally engaged in power grabs and acquiring wealth and artifacts, also received the message, abandoning their half-completed grand endeavors, and left Earth for Mars.
As long as there was absolute power, it wasn't just about giving the government a breather; if they wanted, the immortals could restore them to their peak with a single palm strike and reduce their enemies to ruins.
All the major forces, national governments, and cities were only left intact as a mercy by these immortals for future governance.
Leaving Earth now and signing the contract on Mars was even more urgent for the immortals—once an agreement was reached among the immortals, it became the legitimate course of action. Any moves against the nations afterward would then be completely justified.
Public opinion?
Could it withstand a strike from an immortal?
Since Li Changzhou dissipated his power, the thirty-six surviving immortals, turning into streaks of light, traveled across the universe—sometimes illuminated by the Sun, sometimes through the pitch-black void—from Earth to Mars.
As for whether Li Changzhou had any schemes, they had considered it, but what could he do against the thirty-odd coalition?
From a distance, Mars appeared overall reddish, with the immortals descending on this desolate red planet.
In the sky, the artificial constant star that Li Changzhou had pulled from Konglu Star was no longer visible.
"Where is he?" an immortal cloaked in a black robe asked, his gaze igniting flames on the Martian surface where it swept.
"Crack! Boom!"
The black robe shattered, and the immortal exploded!
The crowd was shocked.
A trap? A display of power?
They began summoning weapons, preparing their skills...
At twenty years old, Li Changzhou smashed through the void and stepped forward. He looked at the immortals before him, all those who had attained immortality during his dispersion phase, save for the hiding Pope, had gathered.
"Li Changzhou, what do you mean by this!" one of them shouted.
Li Changzhou's eyes began to burn, lighting up with a faint blue glow, his whole body similarly emanating a divine light.
He walked down from the sky step by step like a Heavenly God; suddenly, his fist fell, obliterating an immortal both physically and spiritually.
"He wants to kill us!!"
Splat! The head of the immortal who had spoken was penetrated, bloody and grisly.
"Kill!"
There was nothing else to say, all the immortals struck at once.
The power in his heart surged like a seed sprouting, growing into thick branches that bolstered Li Changzhou's entire body.
An explosive power surged through his entire body.
Li Changzhou raised his hand, causing the skies to collapse and Mars to shake, his robust dominance reached its peak as if he was smashing the heavens themselves.
Other beings appeared from various voids.
Yang Qinglan stood on a Golden Cloud, a little Jade Cauldron flew out of her palm, turning as large as a mountain in a blink;
Turquoise Pool stood on a Green Bird, dancing with the Azure Phoenix mirror, its light enveloping heaven and Earth;
Li Qianxia wielded a steel lance, turning into a streak of red light, charging into the battle array. Beside her, the Twenty Great Demon Gods formed a massive wall, one of them casually grabbing a mountain during their passage and hurling it at the immortals.
The sky darkened, and Li Changzhou fought a bloody battle, his skull nearly pierced, his body devoid of a single unscathed part.
Even with the strength of the Divine Body, he fought to the brink of death!
Mars was nearly shattered, and if not for Yang Qinglan stabilizing it in time with the little Jade Cauldron, the entire Solar System would have been set off!
Amidst the vast vital energy left by the thirty-six dead immortals, Li Changzhou sat cross-legged, his body slowly transforming into black fog.
"Earth is left to you guys, split in half, half for the Zhao Family, half for Yafeiluna. I'm going to close off, devour all the remaining power here, and return to being an immortal!" he declared.
With those words, Black Sky descended, a black tide rising on Mars.
Since then, Earth almost entered an era devoid of immortals again.
