A month later, Qing Yuanzi yawned.

"I say, Fairy..."

He raised a sign and asked Daji beside him: "How long is this contest going to last?"

"How would I know."

Daji had already become bored enough to count her own tail hairs.

Sun Wukong and Buddha had been in a standoff for a month, neither of them moving, looking as if they were asleep.

"Immortal, is the Great King really not asleep?"

Qing Yuanzi asked Zhen Yuan again.

"No."

Zhen Yuan glanced at the two giants.

Though motionless, the situation in the Three Realms within their eyes was ever-changing, not stopping for a moment.

In the Southern Continent, after the Heavenly Taoist Sect ignited the flames of war, fierce suppression ensued.

The Buddhist sect was not unprepared either, with miracles appearing everywhere, stabilizing the hearts of the people, and granting the King of Huainan the legitimacy of a heaven-ordained ruler.

Under intense conflict, the chaos in the Southern Continent lasted a month.

Centering around Chang'an City, the Wei River banks changed hands three times between the rebels and the Heavenly Taoist Sect, with no side gaining complete control.

However, the situation was changing—

Across the Ten States and Three Islands, Gold Star Taibai alone gazed at the East Sea.

Due to immortals rushing to defend the Eastern Continent at Kunlun Mountain, not many were left to guard the Ten States and Three Islands.

Suddenly, several paper cranes floating around Gold Star Taibai fell down.

Upon seeing these Immortal Law-infused paper cranes hit the ground, Gold Star Taibai immediately knew that trouble was nearing the Ten States and Three Islands.

"Gold Star Taibai!"

Mu Yaoxing flew over: "Two beings from Wanling are approaching us rapidly, they..."

Before he could finish, Gold Star Taibai saw two dark shadows flying from the East Sea.

The shadows swiftly drew near, turning out to be two demons.

The younger one was a Bird Demon, its black eyes resembling the stars in the sky, with golden wings proving its unique identity.

"Gold Star Taibai."

Golden Winged Great Peng halted outside the Ten States and Three Islands, arms crossed: "You stand no chance, there's still time to join us."

In his eyes, the immortals on the island were no different from dead men.

"Golden Winged Great Peng, just the two of you want to take down the Ten States and Three Islands?"

Gold Star Taibai looked at the other, older demon.

Although Gold Star Taibai hadn't seen it before, he guessed its identity from the familiar aura.

"You are the Nine-Headed Lion."

Gold Star Taibai asked the Nine-Headed Lion: "Does Emperor Qinghua know you're here today?"

This was Emperor Qinghua's mount, the Nine-Headed Lion.

The Nine-Headed Lion nodded: "My master instructed me to follow the orders from Huaguo Mountain."

Gold Star Taibai felt a sinking feeling.

The Nine-Headed Lion and Golden Winged Great Peng were among the top demons in the Three Realms, together, they were as strong as a Heavenly Venerate.

Gold Star Taibai sent a signal, beams of Immortal Light rose from the Ten States and Three Islands.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations, Nine Luminaries Star Officials, and the three hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals left on the island flew up, encircling the two demons.

The Nine-Headed Lion glanced around.

"As the Fairy said, these are but remnants and weak forces, but there are still some formidable ones."

He said to the Golden Winged Great Peng: "We must join forces."

"Alright."

Golden Winged Great Peng nodded.

Endless Heavenly Soldiers rushed towards the two.

The Nine-Headed Lion transformed back to its original form, carrying Golden Winged Great Peng as they broke through the encirclement.

So powerful were they, clashing with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals without falling at a disadvantage.

"Gold Star Taibai."

Amidst the fierce battle, Mu Yaoxing said to Gold Star Taibai: "Something is amiss in the Heavenly Palace."

"Heavenly Palace?"

Gold Star Taibai looked up into the sky, noticing some dark shadows drawing near.

Those were the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals from the Heavenly Palace.

The Immortals left the Heavenly Palace, and a small portion of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were left behind, taken over by Sun Wukong.

Gold Star Taibai glanced at them and found that the number of these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals did not exceed ten thousand.

"There's no need to bother with them."

The difference in numbers was too great; Gold Star Taibai was not worried that they could influence the overall situation.

This was a fatal judgment.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals formed a formation in the sky.

The Wanling Diagram appeared like a nascent sun among them, illuminating the earth.

The light wounded Gold Star Taibai's eyes, and at that moment, all the Star Constellations, Star Officials, and all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who were fighting over the Ten States and Three Islands seemed to have halted.

Everyone touched by the light seemed to be bound, their minds clear, but their bodies unable to move.

"What spell is this?"

Gold Star Taibai struggled to break free.

"It's useless."

Golden Winged Great Peng used a spell and returned to normal.

"This is the reflection of the Heavenly Emperor, you can't break free."

Although those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were weak, they were still Immortals, and able to harness the power of Wanling Heavenly Dao directly from Sun Wukong.

"Nine-headed Lion, we must leave immediately."

Golden Winged Great Peng glance at the sky and spoke.

The Nine-headed Lion nodded and turned to leave the Ten States and Three Islands.

"What's happening?"

Gold Star Taibai was stunned, but when he saw the Wanling Diagram in the sky quickly falling and sucking in the Star Constellations and Star Officials, a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Sun Wukong, you actually—"

The final words couldn't be transmitted.

The Ten States and Three Islands, had fallen.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Nine Luminaries, and the three hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals left on the islands all surrendered to the embrace of Wanling Country.

That news, when it spread, shocked the world, and for the rebels of the Southern Continent, it was utterly inconceivable.

Even Immortals could not resist the sanctification of Heavenly Dao; how powerful the Heavenly Emperor must be.

The Southern Continent, hearts began wavering.

"Sun Wukong!"

Lingshan, Buddha watched Sun Wukong with cold eyes.

Sun Wukong's face showed no signs of faltering.

"The trend has been set."

He spoke.

After a month's developments, the situation had clearly revealed itself.

Buddha watched him for a long time, then brought his hands together: "Ultimately, I am not as ruthless as you."

"That's not certain."

Sun Wukong answered, "If I weren't ruthless, it would be too late."

"..."

Buddha fell silent, then sighed and stopped discussing the matter of the Immortals.

Both were beings of vast divine powers; the affairs of the Ten States and Three Islands, having been settled, were no longer important.

But the subsequent effects it generated forced the Buddha to reconsider the upcoming situation.

The Southern Continent had reached this point, and the end result could now be predicted.

With the Immortals of the Ten States and Three Islands, barring major unexpected events, the Southern Continent would ultimately fall into Sun Wukong's hands.

However, in some aspects, Sun Wukong's actions were also in line with Buddha's plans.

The final player had moved…

Huaguo Mountain, Zhang Yu sat on the statue, looking in the direction of the Ten States and Three Islands.

"Imperial Brother went too far."

He sighed softly.

"Your Majesty."

Heavenly King Li knelt behind him: "This Three Realms, it's not just their playground."

"I know."

Zhang Yu stood up, "Such an interesting match, I cannot miss it."
