Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 922 - 840: The First Battle Ends

Gu Liang happily said, "Does that mean my command was just right?"

Gold Star Taibai nodded with a smile and said, "Correct!" No matter good or bad, I must give encouragement.

Gu Liang laughed proudly, "I didn’t expect to be so powerful, those military books are completely unreliable!"

Wen Zhong said seriously, "Marshal, don’t be complacent, the Demon Clan is very strong. If it weren’t for your solo efforts changing the tide of battle, we would have already lost."

Gu Liang looked at Yang Jiao and said, "Yang Jiao, what do you think of the Demon Clan?"

Yang Jiao pondered and said, "The Demon Clan isn’t difficult for us to deal with, but their innate ability to slip into space-time crevices is almost unsolvable for ordinary Heavenly Soldiers, Generals, and Gods. On the battlefield, Gods below the Daluo level will all be restrained by the Demon Clan."

Yang Jian immediately said, "Also, the innate ability of the Heavenly Demons; they can trigger the most primordial desires within the gods, akin to undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation, and with any slight carelessness, one might fall into an illusion realm at their mercy."

Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, only my firm Dao Heart can resist these desires. Not to mention ordinary Immortal Gods, even that fool Bajie can’t withstand them."

Gu Liang thought for a moment, it’s so difficult! She asked, embarrassed, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

Divine Lord Yin Jiao of the Tai Sui Department immediately said, "That’s simple. Raise the Haotian Mirror above the pass; the light from the Divine Mirror can stabilize space-time, preventing the Heavenly Demons from slipping into the void.

I heard that Doushuai Temple has a Severing Emotions Pill that can sever the seven emotions and six desires; you can bring a batch and let All Gods consume them."

Shen Gongbao chuckled and said, "The Severing Emotions Pill is a good idea, to counter the inducement talents of the ordinary Demon Clan, and we won’t need many. A single eighth-grade elixir can turn into a pool of elixir liquid. Of course, this is merely my guess, the exact amount still requires Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s judgment.

As for the Haotian Mirror, it is not advisable. If we use the Haotian Mirror, it symbolizes Your Majesty’s intervention.

If Kui Gang also intervenes against ordinary Immortal Gods, even the True Spirits might be scattered, leading to total annihilation.

Judicial Celestial, Great Marshal, Fire Spirit Saint Mother, and other Star Lords with ranked physical forms might not ensure safety; any one of them falling would be an unbearable loss."

Yin Jiao directly asked, "Then what do you suggest?"

Shen Gongbao stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and thoughtfully said, "It might not be necessary to suppress space-time; a large-scale distortion of space-time could also work."

Lu Yue of the Plague Department shook his head and said, "Impossible, the number of Daluo in the Demon Clan far exceeds that of the Heavenly Court. If we disrupt, they stabilize; it’s futile."

Yin Jiao from the Tai Sui Department’s eyes lit up, laughed heartily, and said, "Quantity doesn’t represent quality; just now, the Great Marshal alone caused space to become chaotic, with no Demon Clan daring to enter the space-time crevices to escape the bombing."

All Gods looked at Gu Liang.

Gu Liang immediately excitedly said, "I can do this. In the next battle, I will first greet them with a wave of Peace Mushrooms."

Shen Gongbao immediately shook his head and said, "Great Marshal, absolutely not!"

Wen Zhong also instinctively said, "No!"

"Ah! Why?" Gu Liang asked, puzzled.

The other Divine Lords also looked at Shen Gongbao and Wen Zhong. Right, why not?

Shen Gongbao and Wen Zhong exchanged glances.

Wen Zhong calmly said, "Diplomacy God, you should explain."

Shen Gongbao nodded solemnly and said, "Marshal, in my opinion, try to avoid this kind of large-scale battle in the future."

"Why?"

Lu Yue impatiently said, "Shen Gongbao, stop holding back, just tell us."

"The Heavenly Emperor’s command to us is to hold off the Demon Clan for Thirty-three Heavens, not to defeat them.

From the larger perspective, we should create an appearance of being unable to win, allowing the Demon Clan the possibility to attack the Nine Layers Pass. In necessary circumstances, even abandoning one or two passes might be considered to give the Demon Clan confidence.

Otherwise, if we continuously conduct large-scale battles and the Demon Clan severely suffers each time, it might trigger a desperate, destructive attack from them, and then, the Nine Layers Pass might truly be breached."

Gold Star Taibai also smiled and said, "Diplomacy God speaks wisely. The Emperor has said that currently, destiny is in the Demon Realm; the Heavenly Court isn’t a match for the Demon Realm. Even if victory occurs occasionally, it cannot last long.

Moreover, the Emperor has stated our goal isn’t to defeat the Demon Realm but to halt the Demon Clan’s steps, as thirty-three days later, the situation will reverse.

If each time the Great Marshal bombards indiscriminately, the Demon Clan, seeing no hope of victory, might resort to extreme measures, as destiny currently favors the Demon Clan."

Gu Liang was taken aback and quickly said, "Then I won’t intervene in the future."

Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "Intervention is still possible; the Great Marshal only needs to launch Mushroom Bombs into space-time crevices, continuously bombing, preventing the Demon Clan from slipping into the void, and the rest is handled by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, proceeding with normal combat."

Gu Liang nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand."

Gold Star Taibai sat at his position, slightly nodding with a smile; this is why the Emperor appointed Gu Liang as the Great Marshal. The Heavenly Court has few who can command the military in warfare: Emperor Zhenwu, Divine General, but all are Quasi-Saints, unable to participate.

Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Nezha are General Stars, War God figures, lacking commanding talent, and their strength is insufficient.

Below Quasi-Saint, two talents can independently hold their positions: one is the former Grandmaster Wen Zhong, and the other is Shen Gongbao, who frequently clashes with Jiang Ziya.

Yet, despite their commanding talents, they lack sufficient prestige and strength. Many in the Heavenly Court are stronger and with higher seniority than them, unable to command authority.

But Gu Liang is different; when in the Jie Sect, she was the top five senior of the Outer Door, highly trusted by Bai Jin.

After the Divine Enthronement, she even attained the position of Goddess of Wealth, holding the gods’ purse strings, sometimes not even giving face to the Emperor, truly high-ranking and influential.

Furthermore, her strength is unmatched below the Quasi-Saints, invincible in the Daluo Realm. Now, with one move, she shocks the heavens, suppressing the Demon Clan army solo, causing them to retreat, her prestige reaching its pinnacle, no god dares to disobey.

Gu Liang as the main commander, assisted by Shen Gongbao and Wen Zhong, is the Emperor’s plan. Now it seems the Emperor truly has unmatched wisdom, with the Goddess of Wealth serving as a stabilizing Divine Artifact mascot, Wen Zhong, and Shen Gongbao devising strategies, forming the best combination.

...

In the distant chaotic void, Bai Jin sat in the Golden Chariot, cheerfully muttering to himself, "The first battle is over; the fight between the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court has just begun."

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable respectfully said, "Sect Hierarch, are we never going to intervene?"

Bai Jin glanced at him, are you foolish? He said earnestly, "This is a personal vendetta between Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor and Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian. Do you think our intervention would win Kui Gang’s friendship?"

He shook his head and said, "On the contrary, it would only invite Kui Gang’s dislike."
