That night, the sky over the central region of Daxia was dark and ominous. Heavy clouds hung oppressively low, and deep into the night, bolts of lightning sporadically struck through the thick, dense cloud cover, as if the heavens themselves were weeping.

At that very moment, the three thousand elite warriors of the Heavenly Temple scattered across the world, including the Nine Battle Gods and the Four Heavenly Kings, all paused briefly in silence. Then, without hesitation, they put down whatever they were doing and immediately arranged the fastest routes to rush to Daxia.

On the southern battlefield of the Western Continent, in an endless desert, night had just fallen due to the time difference. However, a figure radiating overwhelming power was sprinting madly towards an airport a hundred kilometers away.

Along the way, the figure moved with astonishing speed, his aura fully unleashed without restraint! The Temple Lord was severely injured, and the Young Lord’s life hung in the balance! As one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Temple, the Slaughtering King, his life had once been pulled back from the clutches of death by Xiao Tiance himself. Now, the murderous intent in his heart had reached its peak! He had to get to the rescue as quickly as possible.

But after running for dozens of miles, suddenly, in the desert ahead, a figure with an equally formidable presence blocked his path: "Heh, Slaughter, where are you rushing off to so urgently?" the figure said with a smile.

"Kill!" Slaughter wasted no words. The moment the figure blocked his way, his aura erupted violently. He drew his longsword and slashed at the figure without a moment's hesitation, delivering a blow intended to kill. At this moment, Slaughter didn't even bother to defend himself.

The foreign warrior blocking Slaughter’s path turned pale in an instant. "Are you insane? Although we, the Dark Night, have a grudge against you, it's not that serious, is it? Have you lost your mind?"

"Get lost!" Slaughter roared as the foreign warrior dodged, and without the slightest pause, continued his mad dash into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye, his expression filled with extreme urgency.

The Dark Night warrior, who didn't dare to pursue him, stood in place, his heart trembling violently. The next moment, he quickly took out his phone and made a call: "Find out immediately what's happening with the Heavenly Temple! Something's seriously wrong with the Slaughtering King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Temple. Hurry!"

The response came quickly: "We can't find out the specifics, but we can confirm that something major has happened in the Heavenly Temple, something huge. Warriors affiliated with the Heavenly Temple all over the world are currently scrambling to find transportation to Daxia."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Night warrior couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He knew that when the Heavenly Temple had annihilated the Black Sky organization, not even all of its warriors had been mobilized. Now, the sky was falling.

At the same time, at the entrance of an airport in the Lion Kingdom on the Central Continent, several pale-skinned warriors stopped a car. The leader was a burly man wearing custom armor, but even he looked extremely grim at this moment, because inside the car sat the Annihilation King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Temple!

"Make way!!! Or face a fight to the death today!" No one got out of the car, but an ice-cold voice echoed from within. As the words fell, the temperature within a radius of several hundred meters plummeted to freezing. It was clear how intense the killing intent of the person inside the car was.

The white-skinned warrior swallowed hard, wanting to say something, but didn't dare. He too had just received the news—warriors of the Heavenly Temple were frantically gathering all over the world! Some, who had been in deep cover in various places, were now desperately trying to reach airports and fly to Daxia as quickly as possible.

"Something big must have happened, something very big!" The white-skinned warrior hurriedly stepped aside, drenched in cold sweat. The Heavenly Temple's name had been forged in blood, through countless battles! By now, all the dark forces around the world knew better than to provoke the Heavenly Temple, unless they united.

Certainly, various forces could ambush one or two Battle Gods or even a Heavenly King from the Heavenly Temple, but they would have to pay a heavy price and face the Temple's brutal retaliation! No one dared provoke the Heavenly Temple in a fit of rage, especially now, as this was the first time in history that the entire Temple had fully mobilized!

At this moment, on the Western Continent, the Central Continent, and elsewhere across the world, top warriors were racing to airports, chartering planes to fly to Daxia.

A few, dozens, hundreds, until an hour after the gathering order was issued by Tianyi, three thousand elite warriors of the Heavenly Temple had arrived at airports, ready to fly to Daxia.

Meanwhile, the warriors of the Heavenly Temple within Daxia, those close enough, were driving at top speed toward Qianjiang City in the central region.

As the warriors stationed abroad rushed in, those within Daxia were also desperately gathering. At this moment, the warriors of the Heavenly Temple no longer concealed their identities; they simply sought to reach the gathering point as quickly as possible.

At the same time, within the Dragon Kingdom’s War Department Center, everyone was utterly shocked, having just received the news: thousands of elite warriors from the Heavenly Temple were rapidly converging on the domain through various channels.

The First Executive Officer of the War Department, Wan Tianxue, stared pale-faced at the world map on the central electronic screen in the War Department's hall. Thousands of arrows on the map pointed toward the domain.

"Still no information on the cause? We’ve always had good relations with the Heavenly Temple, so why are they all converging on our domain tonight? What is the reason!?" Wan Tianxue urgently demanded from the intelligence officers, his anxiety palpable. This was the Heavenly Temple, the most powerful force on the extraterritorial battlefields, and they had always maintained a close relationship with the Dragon Kingdom’s War Department. Something big had definitely happened.

A nearby intelligence officer quickly reported: "Sir, we haven’t been able to find out the exact reason, but we’ve deduced that the gathering point for the Heavenly Temple’s personnel is in Qianjiang City, in the Central Domain."

Wan Tianxue trembled and said, "Qianjiang City? Isn't that just a small second-tier city? Why would the Heavenly Temple gather there? Keep investigating, find out what's going on!!! I want results within ten minutes!"

The intelligence officer quickly replied, "Sir, as you know, we really can't find out. The Heavenly Temple’s secrecy system is too tight. Sir, should we intercept them?"

"Do not intercept them! Pass down my order immediately—wherever the Heavenly Temple passes, give them a clear path. No one is allowed to intercept them, no one!" Wan Tianxue, hearing the gravity of the situation, realized its seriousness.

"Are you kidding? If the Heavenly Temple didn’t have good relations with Daxia, we would have to intercept them at any cost. But the fact is, over the years, the Heavenly Temple has openly and secretly helped Daxia countless times."

"This is a force that fights on the extraterritorial battlefields for Daxia!"

Wan Tianxue shook his head bitterly. The full mobilization of the Heavenly Temple weighed heavily on him, and the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger by the minute. What on earth has happened?

As Wan Tianxue was lost in confusion, his phone suddenly rang. It was Wang Changsheng, the War God of the Central Domain’s War Zone, calling. Seeing the number, Wan Tianxue suddenly remembered that Wang Changsheng had once served in the Heavenly Temple, though he had later left.

With this in mind, Wan Tianxue quickly answered the call and, not waiting for the other side to speak, urgently asked, "Changsheng, I beg you, please tell me what happened tonight! You once served as a War God in the Heavenly Temple, and even if you left later, you should have some information channels, right? Please tell me what’s going on!"

After a moment of silence on the other end, Wang Changsheng replied in a deep voice, "Commander Wan, I’m also on my way to Qianjiang City."

Fearing that Wang Changsheng might hang up, Wan Tianxue hastily said, "Tell me, what happened!!!"

This time, the silence on the other end was even longer. Just as Wan Tianxue was about to ask again, Wang Changsheng’s voice came through: "The Young Lord of the Heavenly Temple was attacked, and his life is uncertain. The Temple Lord, in his fury, suffered severe trauma and has fallen unconscious. Commander Wan, let me offer you some advice: the Heavenly Temple has never wronged Daxia, and they will not harm the innocent. This is an ironclad order from the Temple Lord. But as for those involved in this matter, we will not spare a single one." With that, Wang Changsheng hung up the phone.

Wan Tianxue stood frozen in place, his phone slipping from his hand and falling to the ground, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"Commander Wan, what happened?" An intelligence officer under Wan Tianxue’s command cautiously inquired.

Wan Tianxue, his face pale, murmured, "The sky has fallen."
