The interior of Tongtian Tower resembled a botanical garden, with various unknown flowers blooming in a sea of blossoms. Amidst the vast array of exotic and strange flowers, a five-meter-wide path extended inward. Walking along this path, one would find a reception hall closest to nature. The hall was crafted to appear boundless, like another dimension. The light in the hall was akin to natural sunlight, yet no source of illumination could be found. In the hall were two tables: a large rectangular conference table surrounded by nearly twenty spacious and comfortable chairs, and a round dining table with a diameter of no less than four meters, surrounded by ten chairs, all meticulously arranged.
According to Emperor Huang, despite the Tongtian Tower's hundred-meter height, it only had three floors, each a dimension of infinite space. The first floor was for reception and dining, the second for training and developing new skills, and the third for rest and storing the Precious Cauldron. Accessing these three floors required a small incantation known only to Emperor Huang and the ten great sages; ordinary Five-dimensional beings were not easily permitted entry into the tower.
Xiao Jie half-jokingly asked Emperor Huang, "Ancestor, why haven't I seen your wife? Shouldn't you introduce us? Or is it that women must avoid guests here?"
Emperor Huang laughed at this and replied, "You brat! I'm afraid if I call her out, you won't be able to handle it. Since you want to meet her, I'll call her." He looked up and said to the air, "Come down. Xiao Jie and the others want to meet you."
Master Wang teased Emperor Huang, "Ancestor, you called to the second floor, didn't you? Why so mysterious? Are we going to see a ghost?"
Before Master Wang could finish his sentence, a graceful woman about 1.8 meters tall appeared before them. She smiled and said, "Master, long time no see."
Tang Xiaojie, Yue Nannan, Zhuzi, and Master Wang were all stunned as if they'd seen a ghost, especially Master Wang, whose forehead was covered in sweat as the woman walked toward him. Unable to control himself, Master Wang trembled, raising his hand weakly in front of him, saying, "Don't come closer! You're dead! Are you human or ghost? Emperor Huang! No, Great Elder, do you Five-dimensional beings raise ghosts?!"
The woman before them was the Nine Heavens Goddess, who had died in the Battle of Zhuolu 4600 years ago. No one knew this better than Master Wang because her death was partly due to him. It was his Dou Qi blast that deflected Kua Fu's flying axe, which then struck the Nine Heavens Goddess, who had thrown herself in front of Emperor Yan. Now, seeing her alive, smiling and walking toward him, who wouldn't be afraid?
The Nine Heavens Goddess smiled at Master Wang and the others, "Don't be afraid. I'm alive, not a ghost. Actually, I owe my survival to you, Master Wang. It was your three healing spells in the end that saved my life. Yan thought I died because I fainted from the pain."
After Emperor Huang confirmed this, everyone relaxed. After the battle, he found a faint breath in the Nine Heavens Goddess and, using his medical skills, managed to save her. After peace was restored, Emperor Huang took her on a journey, eventually reaching Wuji Mountain, where they ascended to the Five-dimensional space due to their merits. In this new world, Emperor Huang became a Great Elder, and the Nine Heavens Goddess bore him a daughter, Fuler.
Emperor Huang teased Master Wang, "Your reaction was too comical. You dare to fight Hell's Angels but fear ghosts? Are ghosts scarier than demons?"
This made Master Wang blush and everyone else laugh.
After some casual conversation, Emperor Huang treated the guests to a grand feast of Five-dimensional delicacies, all made from flowers, fresh and not greasy, earning praise from everyone. During the meal, Emperor Huang discussed his plans for the future, a strategic outline he had formulated after consulting with the Circle Man. Initially, there were difficulties, but today's arrival of the Morga Darans had resolved them.
Emperor Huang excitedly explained, "The plan is to have the ten great sages perform a ten-direction enhancement on you four, maximizing your abilities and potential. This might even unlock new skills."

He glanced at the Nine Heavens Goddess, gently patting her hand, and continued, "Secondly, we will eliminate the three great demons one by one or prevent them from entering our world. We’ll start with the Morga Darans. Without the Precious Cauldron, they cannot invade on a large scale. We will destroy their energy system before they solve this problem. Their system, like ours, relies on stellar energy and elemental power. They invaded a small planet in the galaxy's middle region, the Amand Planet, home to the Amand people who excel in using elemental power and storing green energy. It has become the Morga Darans' energy base. We must destroy it to prevent their invasion."
The Nine Heavens Goddess added, "Originally, we weren’t going to mention this plan because reaching Amand Planet is difficult. But now the Morga Darans have brought us a spaceship. Our great sages are inspecting it, and with some modifications, it should allow us to make a few trips into space and across dimensions."
"Thirdly, we’ve contacted some great sages from the Six-dimensional divine realm. They’re aware of the impending catastrophe and have provided us with ancient artifacts left by the primordial gods. These artifacts are as powerful as the Ultimate Heaven Blade, though their functions differ. Acquiring these artifacts won't be easy, but it’s a way to enhance your strength."
"Fourthly, I've sent many Five-dimensional beings to your Three-dimensional world to find talented individuals who haven't been discovered yet. We will bring them here for special training to form the backbone against the Hell's Angels and Chiyou."
At this point, Xiao Jie interjected, "Can't we lure the Morga Darans to Earth to fight the Hell's Angels? Their Four-dimensional bodies should be more suitable for the angels to possess, allowing us to take advantage of the situation."
Emperor Huang sighed, "We considered that, but it’s not feasible. Xiao Jie, you don't know the Morga Darans’ background. Now, I’ll tell you. Their king is beyond our ability to confront."
Yue Nannan asked, "Are they stronger than Lucifer in the Bible?"
Emperor Huang's face turned serious, and the Nine Heavens Goddess and other great sages looked dejected.
Master Wang, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong? Who could scare you Five-dimensional beings so much?"
Emperor Huang said, "The Black Dragon Sword is the artifact of the Tongtian Cult Leader, who was sealed at the edge of the galaxy by Yuan Shi Tianzun and Laozi for turning to the dark side. Besides Tongtian Cult Leader, he is also called Lingbao Tianzun. The Morga Daran king is known as Lingbao Zunwang. They claim their king-god created them. If true, then Tongtian Cult Leader escaped his seal and created new intelligent life. Imagine, it took Yuan Shi Tianzun, who is Pangu, and Laozi to seal him. His power is formidable even in the Six-dimensional divine realm. Don’t compare him to Lucifer or Chiyou."
This revelation depressed everyone. How could they hope to match such a formidable enemy? It became clear they must prevent his arrival, not wait to counter him.
Emperor Huang continued, "Their military leader is likely Duobao Zhenjun, a disciple of Tongtian Cult Leader. If they arrive, they can go anywhere with their abilities. But we must prevent them from bringing their army, or the world will become hell."
Xiao Jie nodded, "I understand. Our only hope is to destroy or seize their energy source."
Emperor Huang agreed, "Yes, it's the only thing we can do and must do. Seizing it is almost impossible, so destroying it is the most direct way. Without the Precious Cauldron, they need that energy."
The Nine Heavens Goddess encouraged, "Don't be too pessimistic. If we fail, and all three great demons arrive on Earth, the Six-dimensional divine realm won’t stand idly by. While they may ignore Lucifer and Chiyou, as they are part of the cyclical destiny, Tongtian Cult Leader’s goal is broader. His power threatens the gods, and the divine root in Earth's East is crucial. In such a scenario, even the gods above the Six-dimensional realm won’t remain passive."
Her words revived everyone’s spirits, sparking a lively discussion about the future.
Emperor Huang resumed, "Our plan also involves a promise from the Circle Man to send us special forces when needed. However, he didn’t specify what kind of forces. We must take it step by step."
The hall buzzed with renewed discussion. In the end, they agreed to first complete the ten-direction enhancement for Xiao Jie and the others. Then, they would seek out the designated artifacts. The Five-dimensional beings would modify the spaceship and monitor the Four-dimensional space and Morga Daran activities.
The impending disaster loomed closer to humanity, and the mission-bearers intensified their preparations. No one knew how much time they had left.
On Laoshan's Three-peak Summit, the Circle Man gazed at the full moon and said to Lin Kainan, "Kainan, I've calculated the great disaster will arrive in three years. With your current abilities, you should ascend to the Six-dimensional realm with me. You..."
Before he could finish, Lin Kainan interrupted, "No, Master. I won't leave. You said the events in the Western Bible are true. Besides describing the terror of demons, it also speaks of God's omnipot
ence. Isn’t this my destined test? Why would I flee? I want to protect the world like Emperor Huang and Yan."
The Circle Man sighed, "The light of destiny's ending is upon us. These three years are crucial. I hope your words are as strong as your resolve."
