Chen Shi's mind surged with overwhelming waves, countless thoughts flashed by in an instant.

The Houtu Goddess is undoubtedly a formidable deity. The myriad continents in the Earth Immortal Realm rise and fall under her divine power, and she leaves traces in Outer Heaven and among the Thousand Realms. Such a powerful being descends upon the West Bull New Continent — who would dare to block her path?

But someone did dare!

From the darkness came a sweeping round axe, severing the bridge of light, striking at the Houtu Goddess's incarnation, cutting off her path, clearly acting with impunity!

Who has such audacity?

What frightened him even more was why this person would risk offending the Houtu Goddess to stop her incarnation from descending upon the West Bull New Continent?

What secrets does the West Bull New Continent hold?

Chen Shi was still pondering when he saw, behind the portal, that massive round axe spinning and striking again, severing another section of the bridge!

That section of the bridge was built with the divine power of the Huaxia Gods, meant to guide the Houtu Goddess's incarnation. Previously severed, her incarnation linked it with her long sleeves, but now severed anew, it instantly lost its support and destination location, unable to find the West Bull New Continent!

Without hesitation, Chen Shi wielded the West King Jade Seal and flung it into the portal!

He activated the West King Jade Seal, mobilizing the divine power of all the deities from the Fifty Provinces of the West Bull New Continent, and almost simultaneously, the deities from Xinxiang's Qianyang Mountain Lord, Qing Province's Emperor Guan, Gongzhou's Mazu Lady, Coastal King's Spiritual Official, Northern Alliance's Peng Zu, Lingzhou's Yue King and others, mobilized the divine and spiritual power from various states and counties, transforming into torrents of extraordinary power, converging from all directions!

Suddenly, this torrent, accompanied by the resonant chanting of all the gods, descended from the heavens into the West King Jade Seal!

The West King Jade Seal emitted a wave stronger than ordinary immortal artifacts, flying towards the portal.

The surging divine power from the Jade Seal reconnected the divine bridge, which instantly became much clearer, swiftly extending to the feet of the Houtu Goddess's incarnation.

The Houtu Goddess hesitated slightly, and walked towards the portal along this bridge.

As the round axe came striking again, not yet hitting, the goddess's fluttering garment struck the axe head.

The large axe was slapped spinning, like a wheel falling into the darkness, rolling within the shadows, constantly sparking, moving swiftly and suddenly striking again.

The round axe split into two, two into four, constantly dividing, and in an instant, the darkness was filled with spinning wheels of round axes, gleaming with cold light, slicing towards the Houtu Goddess's incarnation from various angles!

At the same time, quite a few round axes slashed at the divine bridge!

The Houtu Goddess's garments fluttered, blocking and swatting away the round axes rushing from all directions. Suddenly, two more garments passed through the axe light, swirling around the divine bridge like two immeasurably long giant serpents, sweeping away those round axes aimed at the divine bridge.

One spinning round axe headed straight for the West King Jade Seal, not yet approaching the Jade Seal, when suddenly a garment flew over, wrapping around the axe handle, pulling it back.

Seeing this, Chen Shi sighed with relief.

With the West King Jade Seal connecting the divine bridge, and with the Houtu Goddess now prepared, it should be enough for her incarnation to descend.

"Chen Zhaoyuan, you should come out now." Liu Daoist's voice came from outside.

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, retrieved an incense burner, took three arm-thick incense sticks, inserted them into the burner, and bowed towards the lotus platform, silently saying in his heart, "Goddess, your foster son can only go this far."

The incense burned taller than a person, with no problem burning for several days.

The incense smoke wafted, drifting into the lotus platform, floating towards the unknown darkness through the portal.

Chen Shi turned around and walked out of the temple.

He walked on the Xuanhuang Sea, gazing at the ethereal silhouettes of myriad continents around him, silently pondering in his heart, "Is the Earth Immortal Realm floating upon the Profound Yellow Qi? If so, then the Xuanhuang Sea must be the Sea of Darkness. But why would the Xuanhuang Sea darken into the Sea of Darkness?"

He had more questions in his heart.

Why are there so many demons in the sea?

Why does this vast ocean disrupt communication between the continents?

Why is the West Bull New Continent so unique, with evil qi polluting the heavens and earth, evil spirits devouring the sun and moon?

However, these questions must wait until the goddess's incarnation descends for answers.

Unknowingly, he walked out of the Houtu Goddess Temple, arrived under the old willow tree, and spoke to Liu Daoist, Little Dun Fairy, and others about his experiences in the temple, saying, "My cultivation is low, afraid I cannot help, can only wield the West King Jade Seal, borrowing the power of the gods, to maintain the divine bridge constantly."

Liu Daoist solemnly said, "I'll go have a look!"

He hurried into the goddess temple, and after a while, came out hurriedly again, saying, "The West King Jade Seal is unparalleled in power, gathering the power of the West Bull New Continent's state and gods. If the seal cannot resist, I am of no use. Thank you, Chen Zhaoyuan, for your assistance!"

Chen Shi asked, "How many days until the goddess descends?"

Liu Daoist said, "The temple is not yet fixed, unable to descend. Only when the temple is stable can the goddess sit in the divine shrine. Currently, the temple has taken shape and will speed up. However, now there are 641 Huaxia Gods revived, only 30% of their peak period. If all were revived, the temple would be fixed in just four or five days."

Chen Shi frowned, having already tried his best to search for temples everywhere and revive local deities, unexpectedly only 30% had revived.

Liu Daoist said, "Other deities, some have had their Dao principles completely extinguished by Despair Slope, unable to revive. They descend as incarnations to the West Bull New Continent; their true bodies not arriving, this side's Dao principle extinguished, thus cannot return."

Chen Tang asked, "What happened when the deities' Dao principles were extinguished back then?"

Liu Daoist said, "Despair Slope, to maintain the Outer Heaven True God's orthodoxy, tried to extinguish the world's deities' Dao principles, cleanse local temples, slay the gods' golden bodies, smash divine statues, cut mountains and break temples. At that time, the True King Era ended, the West Bull New Continent fell into darkness for over forty years. The gods protected all living beings for over forty years, their strength greatly diminished, powerless to resist them, with many casualties. The goddess saw things couldn't be done, and ordered the surviving gods to silence, awaiting the future."
