  Although the demon god is different from the orthodox god, they are indeed divine beings. What the demon god lacks is only the position of God and the dignity of God.

  In simpler terms, the divine beings nurtured and driven by the Heavenly Order are called "Orthodox Gods", while those that have not been incorporated into the recognized management system of Heaven and Earth and roam wild outside are called "Heretic Gods". Apart from this, the essential difference between Orthodox Gods and Heretic Gods is actually not great.

  In terms of divinity and divine position, the divine occupation is undoubtedly one of the most complex systems in this world, and there may not be any system more complicated and changeable than the divine occupation system.

  No matter how many natural phenomena and spiritual aspirations exist in the world, under the heaven-man resonance, corresponding gods will inevitably appear. Birth, aging, illness, death, eating, drinking, urination, defecation - all are covered, or it can be said that the god position is a job posting for the heavens to openly recruit employees for the infinite universe. In short, as many staff members as needed to manage a piece of heaven and earth will correspondingly exist as many gods.

  As the god of Huo Mountain, Lin Xu and Da Jiang Long Jun Ao Ping, they are both formal gods who have obtained divine positions. In other words, the two of them are public servants serving heaven and earth.

  When a group of unfriendly outsiders conflicts with the employees within the system, the will of heaven tends to which side. The answer is actually easy to guess.

  As General Zhang Xin led the dark troops to teach those arrogant Tianjin gods a lesson with crossbow arrows, they were beaten so badly that they retreated all the way from the entrance of the Water Mansion to several palaces, relying on danger to defend themselves.

  Arrogance and inferiority are like the two sides of a coin. Those who appear to be unreasonably arrogant, when traced back to their roots, often stem from excessive inferiority and repression; conversely, the same applies.

  At this point, the extremely inflated strong mentality of the Tianjin gods was shattered, and they quickly fell from their initial arrogance to the other extreme of greatly exaggerating the strength of their opponents. At this point, these Tianjin gods no longer held much hope of defeating their strong enemies through their own power, and the only factor that could boost morale was to rely on the power of the Three Gods' artifacts to turn the tide.

  "Hurry up and get out of your divine body!"

  Accompanied by a burst of exclamations, the several Heavenly Gods of Tianting who were in charge of keeping the Three Divine Artifacts had now become the mainstay of the gods present.

  Sword, mirror and jewel, collectively known as the Three Sacred Treasures, are also the most famous magical artifacts of the Amatsu-kami. It is said that these three treasures represent the powers of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo, who are considered unbeatable masters in the Amatsu-kami system. Whether or not these auspicious three treasures are the strongest magical artifacts in all of Toyoashihara is unclear, but they are undoubtedly the most famous. The current situation has reached a point where the Amatsu-kami have no choice but to pin their hopes of turning defeat into victory on these three artifacts.

  The Tianjin God, who had just narrowly escaped the hail of arrows from the Yin soldiers, did not bother to tend to their injured companions around them. Instead, they all gathered together and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the opening ceremony of the Three Divine Artifacts.

  To prevent the power of the sacred treasures from being misused, Amaterasu and the other two great gods sealed away the three sacred treasures before placing them in the mortal realm. Although the sacred treasures can still be activated while they are sealed, their true power is difficult to believe, and these heavenly gods do not dare stake their lives on unsealed sacred treasures.

  A faint, inexplicable shockwave was spreading outward from within the Water Temple, and Lin Xue, who had sensed it, gave a subtle signal to Zhang Xin. Noticing Lin Xue's cue, Zhang Xin immediately made a judgment and waved his command flag, shouting:

  "Change formation, Four Symbol Formation."

  Fortunately, the yinbing troops didn't need to breathe air and could calmly change formation on the dark riverbed where only a faint light was visible. The archers who were originally standing in the front row of the troops slowly moved backwards, while the heavily armed infantrymen with long spears and shields moved forward, forming a standard siege formation.

  As the unknown shock waves from Shuifu continued to intensify, Lin Xu's unease also grew quietly. He got up and walked over to Zhang Xin, saying:

  "How confident are you of annihilating the enemy?"

  Hearing this, Zhang Xin didn't dare to be arrogant and replied truthfully:

  "Reporting to the master, I have a 70% chance of winning, and the remaining 30% is unpredictable luck. With three thousand against three hundred, if we still can't win, then I've lived in vain for all these years."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Xu's expression slightly cleared up, and he nodded his head saying:

  "It's good to have confidence, but don't be careless! Be prepared and attack immediately, for hesitation breeds trouble."

  "Roger!"

  After directing the flag bearers to coordinate with each department to complete the formation transformation, Deputy General Zhang Xian turned his head to several drummers beside him and said loudly:

  "Beat the drums to aid in battle!"

  "Knock knock knock knock——"

  Under the accompaniment of a series of low and powerful drumbeats, after a brief period of calmness, both the attacking and defending sides have made preparations to launch their final attack.

  The rumbling sound of war drums, along with the waves stirred up by the movement of the great army, spread in all directions. The two massive forces inside and outside the water gate were about to collide head-on.

  The Three Sacred Treasures of Japan have been worshipped as divine objects for a thousand years. Even if it were just an inanimate piece of iron, being placed in the temple and receiving incense offerings for a thousand years would likely give rise to some spiritual power. How much more so the Three Sacred Treasures, which are actually objects used by the gods themselves? Their power may have been exaggerated by mortals, but they are certainly not mere empty names.

  As the yin soldiers of the Mountain God Temple approached the front gate of the Water Mansion to the rhythm of the drumbeat, the first one to rush up and greet the enemy was Tianjin Sheng Gui, who held the Kusanagi sword. At this time, he was seen grinning as he swung the Kusanagi sword forward.

  In an instant, a snow-bright and sharp sword light flashed by, which made people dare not look directly at it. Then, in the dark water bottom, a white ribbon appeared and flew forward quickly. Everything that was touched by this sword light, regardless of its original form, was cut into two halves. It has to be said that the sharpness of Kusanagi is beyond imagination.

  The Yata no Kagami that appeared next had an unimpressive appearance, unlike the Kusanagi sword. The mirror itself was dull and lacked any special features, with a calm and desolate atmosphere like a moon halo. Although its appearance was unimpressive, the power of the Yata no Kagami surpassed that of the Kusanagi sword. The shadow soldiers were reflected in the mirror's dim light, immediately showing signs of withering, rusting, and weathering, especially the fish and other aquatic creatures at the bottom of the water who were innocent victims of war, almost dying at a speed visible to the human eye.

  The eight-foot-long jade hook that made a stunning appearance, couldn't be seen from the outside at all, but those dark soldiers who had eye contact with the Tianjin god holding the jade hook were all stunned as if struck by lightning.

  In this blink-of-an-eye life-or-death battlefield, if one side appears to be dazed, it means only one thing - death.

  Seeing these foreign gods relying on the three treasures of the law, slaughtering their own troops who had worked hard to build up, Lin Xu could no longer sit still. Immediately, he drew out the Seven Star Sword from his waist and was about to step forward when he was held back by Wang Liang, the deputy commander of the reserve team.

  To stop Lin Xu from taking a reckless risk, Wang Liang persuaded him with a bitter tone:

  "Great master, son of a wealthy family, you can't even sit properly in the hall, how could you possibly risk your life?!"

  At this time, Lin Xu glared at Wang Liang, and after calming down a bit, he turned around and said:

  "Where is Yuqi?"

  Yu Jing, the Jade Essence left behind by Huo Shan's Ling Xuzi, had been serving as Lin Xu's attendant for several years. Upon hearing Lin Xu's call, a young girl dressed in palace attire appeared before him, her clear and innocent eyes capable of captivating many an otaku. She then spoke in a childish tone:

  "Master, you're calling me."

  It is said that the attainment of Tao has its sequence, and the pursuit of an art has its specialization. Another interpretation of being all-powerful is having no special skill at all. When it comes to the ability to seal and banish, Lin Xu is far inferior to Ben Tian, whose body was once refined into a treasure jade box by Ling Xuzi.

  Lin Xu raised his hand and pointed at the three divine artifacts that were wreaking havoc at the entrance of Shui Fu, saying in a deep voice:

  "Can you suppress those three treasures on the opposite side? If you can't seal them, it's okay to temporarily disable them."

  Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu Jingyu shook her head and blinked her big, watery eyes, saying:

  "It's really hard to seal, Yuqi can only restrict that sword and mirror for a short period of time, their true form is jade stone, can't be sealed by the same kind."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Xu felt a bit more at ease and forced out a smile, saying:

  "Alright, you take care of the two with swords and mirrors, I'll handle the jade pendant. Wait for my count of three, then we'll make our move together."

  Seeing that Lin Xu had calmed down and made a decision, Deputy General Wang Liang did not dare to stop him again and hurriedly let go of his hand.

  Waiting for a moment in the rear, observing the development of the battle situation ahead, Lin Xu then saw an opportunity and made a 3-2-1 countdown gesture to Maki. Two figures swiftly flashed across the front lines from left to right.

  Lin Xu had been observing from the side for a long time, studying the effects of those three treasures. If he didn't understand their underlying principles before making his move, it would be easy to get himself trapped.

  According to Lin Xu's observation, the evil hook jade seemed to have a powerful hypnotic effect attached to it. Although it didn't have any lethal power, those dark soldiers who made eye contact with the alien god holding the hook jade all lost their consciousness and became mindless, their eyes becoming dull and vacant as if they were sleepwalking. Lin Xu was confident in his ability to withstand this kind of spiritual attack, believing that as long as his willpower remained firm, he could overcome it. The alien god holding the hook jade relied on its powerful treasure to act recklessly, and it probably wouldn't be prepared for close combat with humans. At that time, a sudden sword strike would be able to solve the problem.

  After making up his mind, Lin Xu followed the wall of the Water Mansion towards the direction of the main gate, and at the same time, a soft cry came from Yu Jing's voice not far away.

  The two Tianjin gods holding the sword and mirror at the entrance of the Water Palace were instantly covered with a layer of purple light. Afterwards, no matter how hard these two panicked gods tried to urge them on, the Kusanagi sword and the Yata Mirror did not react in the slightest.

  Lin Xu witnessed the scene from the side and immediately flew forward, with the Seven-Star Sword in his hand flashing seven flickering light points. Taking advantage of the enemy's two magical artifacts being sealed by Yu Qi, Lin Xu suddenly launched an attack on Tianjin Shen, who was holding a jade hook.

  "Hmph!"

  At this moment, with a strange sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh, Lin Xu's face revealed a triumphant and radiant smile.
