I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Heavenly Destiny City.

As the headquarters of the Holy Alliance, a place where the high-level experts of the Human Clan gather, this place, though not sheltered by the Old Gods, remains one of the most stable regions in the world.

The prosperity here does not rely on deities but on the Human Clan itself.

If you look closely from this city, you can see the embryonic form of the entire Holy Alliance.

Whether it's the Supreme Pavilion, the Demon Suppression Department, or the Ministry of War that oversees the Human Clan soldiers across the world, all are located here.

Various Holy Lands and Blessed Lands have branches within the city.

In addition, the bloodline descendants of the Holy Alliance elders from past generations have thrived in the city for years, becoming a major clan within.

Some older figures have also established sect factions, which have grown influential.

The various forces are intertwined!

When the Alliance Hierarch was in his prime, the various forces worked together seamlessly, fully cooperating to make the Holy Alliance thrive.

The orders of the Holy Alliance, issued to all regions, were like a large-scale Pure Land, enduring the turmoils of celestial disasters and demon plagues, with prompt support from all sides!

The Martial Artist leads the way, followed swiftly by weapons, elixir pills, food, convoys, and more, to quell the chaos and settle the people.

But as the Alliance Hierarch has aged, the entanglement of various forces has deepened, and in recent years, there have been faint signs of outward obedience but hidden defiance.

This has also resulted in many places within the Holy Alliance where it's difficult for the Human Clan to find stability, frequently afflicted by the Deceit Night's erosion, evil plagues, divine servants' chaos, celestial hauntings...

And now, with the Alliance Hierarch having ventured overseas, hearts are restless.

Recently, in Heavenly Destiny City, undercurrents have surged, with various forces vying for power, gradually coming to the forefront.

And today, the Supreme Pavilion will add four seats.

In thirty years of the Holy Alliance, there have been six Human Martial Saints!

Of these, two new Human Martial Saints fell years ago in battles against evil!

The remaining four have outstanding achievements and are qualified to be named Supreme Elders!

"In thirty years, six Human Martial Saints have been born, yet during this time, our Human Clan lost eight Human Martial Saints!"

"Some with their life spans exhausted, some with the Old Law's hidden dangers out of control, some harmed by evil, and some transformed into divine servants by Old Gods."

"This doesn't even count the numerous Holy Masters that have fallen from the various Holy Lands... after all, as long as the Holy Lands are not destroyed and the Suppression Objects are passed down, there will be a next generation of Holy Masters."

"Yet even so, when you calculate carefully, over thirty years, our Human Clan seems prosperous, but 'Saint Realm' experts have not increased, but rather decreased."

"Instead, every night of the Deceit Night countless evil emerges, devouring and growing stronger, occasionally appearing as Ancestor Blood Sky Demons or Evil Spirit in Sanctum Ascension..."

"Without the Ancient Immortal Covenant limiting the Divine Spirits, nurturing new gods with incense wishes to protect our Human Clan from crises, there would likely be peril of collapse long ago."

"Even so, over thirty years, many large-scale Pure Lands have been destroyed."

"Three years ago there was the Northern Plains Holy Land, five years ago the Lingyun Blessed Land, twelve years ago the Coastal Holy Land, twenty-three years ago the Taoyuan Holy Land, twenty-seven years ago the Heavenly Drum Holy Land..."

"These regions were once destroyed, turned into Forbidden Lands, and after sixty years of time, have recovered. Yet our Human Clan couldn't reclaim them and bring them back under Holy Alliance control."

"If this continues, the Human Clan will decline day by day. In a hundred years, even Heavenly Destiny City might be overrun by hordes of demons and evil, leading to the collapse of our Holy Alliance's foundation, the very roots of the Human Clan!"

Within the Supreme Pavilion.

The Supreme Elders take their seats.

Even those not present, with their tokens, manifest mana to transform into virtual images and participate in the meeting.

"If there are no objections, these four younger generation Human Martial Saints will enter the Supreme Pavilion."

The elder in the main seat, dressed in white, with white hair and a youthful face, gently stroked his beard.

At the peak of the Holy Alliance's time, not every Human Martial Saint qualified to become a Supreme Elder.

Back then, being a Human Martial Saint was merely an entry requirement for the pavilion.

Typically, enormous feats were needed to enter the Supreme Pavilion.

Alternatively, even if one's achievements weren't high, their combat power had to be able to break through the Fourth Heaven in one fell swoop!

Thus, in those days, the threshold to enter the Supreme Pavilion was a Fourth Heaven-breaking Human Martial Saint.

But in those past years, the Alliance Hierarch launched a massive purge, and later endured the calamity of evil... Many Human Clan members in the Refining God Realm and Creation Level were replaced to fend off evil, resulting in heavy losses.

Moreover, many talented individuals became pillars of the Human Clan, protecting their regions as supreme experts, bearing heavy responsibilities, and neglecting their cultivation.

So, the Holy Alliance lacked successors, and the threshold of the Supreme Pavilion lowered substantially.

Like Prince Zhen Nan, like Marquis Wangxi, as soon as they became Human Martial Saints, they qualified to become Supreme Elders.

"Lately, with turmoil across various Forbidden Lands, the high-levels of the Human Clan can no longer afford to suffer losses."

"The Alliance Hierarch wants to support a Saint Master, helping him establish prestige; by this point, with the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, Withered Glory Sacred Land, Shangri Sacred Land, and the Heavenly Gate, as the Saint Master's achievements...they are brilliant enough!"

"New Technique inheritance, Great Luck upon him, the Saint Master's name, combined with these various feats, he surpasses even the Alliance Hierarch of the past in fame!"

"With the momentum sufficient, there's no need to let him indulge in indiscriminate slaughter."

"But..." A Supreme Elder from the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect said in a deep voice: "According to intelligence, the Saint Master is not someone willing to be manipulated!"

"The Alliance Hierarch used him as bait... the Lord of Heaven destroyed the Heavenly Gate, obliterated Withered Glory Sacred Land, suppressed Shangri Sacred Land, yet he also followed alongside." Another Supreme Elder then spoke slowly: "He is not entirely uncontrollable either!"

"That's because the Alliance Hierarch used him as bait to let him indulge in indiscriminate slaughter! Following the Lord of Heaven was also a path of constant battle!"
