The fourth year after the Great Thousand World Alliance's army went to war, they returned to the Great Thousand World. They did not do so secretly, but announced it to all of the people in the Great Thousand World.

Although the army had managed to weaken the strength of the Extraterritorial Race, they could not stop the Heavenly Evil Deity from regaining his strength. Hence, they knew that the Extraterritorial Race would come and attack the Great Thousand World as soon as the Heavenly Evil Deity was back to his fighting form.

When the people and forces of the Great Thousand World heard about this, it caused a great commotion, as they were all quite worried. After all, the Heavenly Evil Deity had inflicted great fear in their hearts.

In order to calm the people down, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor arranged for the army of the Great Thousand World Alliance to guard the border between the Great Thousand World and the Demon's Domain. As such, they were alert and vigilant at all times, staying prepared for the Extraterritorial Race's counterattack.

Half a year passed by quickly as the Great Thousand World continued to take these precautionary measures. Although the atmosphere was tense, it remained under control thanks to the leadership of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. As time passed, instead of feeling anxious, the forces in the Great Thousand World started to get frustrated.

Specifically, they were frustrated at the Extraterritorial Race, and all of them began grumbling in their hearts...

Since you want to destroy our Great Thousand World, we might as well fight it out with you, dragging you along with us! After all, we are going to die anyway!

With such thoughts filling their hearts and minds, many top powers in the Great Thousand World broke through their cultivation levels, thus increasing their strengths tremendously. This was especially so among the Complete Earthly Sovereigns, who put away their previous fears and started to work up to the Heavenly Sovereign level.

Although some of them failed, many also succeeded. As such, the overall strength of the Great Thousand World had enhanced greatly due to these initiatives taken by the top powers.

It was for this reason that the people of the Great Thousand World no longer felt anxious. Instead, they actually started to look forward to the coming of the Extraterritorial Race.

They had decided that, come what may, they might as well fight it out and put an end to things sooner rather than later. As the people of the Great Thousand World waited for the war to begin, another half a year passed.

At the border of the Great Thousand World, within the Northwest Defense Team.

Within a long stretch of mountain range, five people stood on a mountain peak and looked around them with eyes that were as sharp as eagles' eyes. These people were from the expedition team.

Four of them were Lower Earthly Sovereigns, while the remaining one was at the Compete Earthly Sovereign level. They had been tasked with checking all of the areas of this particular region.

”Team Leader, we have been here for two months,” one of the Lower Earthly Sovereigns said, while he stretched himself out lazily and looked into the distance. Upon seeing that there were no abnormal movements, he felt bored.

”Are you complaining that it is too peaceful?” The team leader, who was at the Complete Earthly Sovereign level, glanced at him, then said flatly, ”Don't worry. Soon, you will miss this peaceful time.”

The team leader knew that once the Extraterritorial Race showed up, there would be endless bloodshed in the Great Thousand World. Upon hearing his words, the other team members were silent and looked grim.

Given their strength, they would have been able to rule over an entire area of the Great Thousand World and make a name for themselves a few years ago. However, at the moment, they could only form a small team and guard the frontline of the Great Thousand World.

Yet, they still knew that this task was a great responsibility that they could not avoid. After all, if they were to shirk such a great responsibility, the Great Thousand World would be destroyed and their family and friends would be killed.

”Team Leader, will we be able to defeat the Extraterritorial Race? I heard that the Heavenly Evil Deity will appear once he is back in fighting shape. He is said to be quite horrifying!” One of the team members shuddered.

The team leader was silent for a while before he replied, ”According to what I have heard, once the Heavenly Evil Deity is back in fighting shape, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor will be no match for him, even if they join forces to take him on together.”

When the four team members heard this, they were shocked and grew pale. The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were considered to be the leaders of the entire Great Thousand World. They were the ones who had turned the situation around and saved the Great Thousand World, putting them in the position to finally be able to contend with the Extraterritorial Race.

However, even the team leader had just admitted that the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor would be no match for the Heavenly Evil Deity once he was in fighting shape! This was not a good sign!

When the team leader saw their dejected looks, he suddenly smiled and said, ”However, there is still hope for us! I have just received another piece of news that there is one more martial artist, who is currently working on transcending the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level. If he succeeds in doing so, there will be three of such beings in our Great Thousand World, and they will be able to deal with the Heavenly Evil Deity!”

The four team members immediately braced themselves as one of them asked, ”Is it Lord Qin Tian? Is it the Green Shirt Sword Saint? Or... Is it the Sovereign Divine Beast?”

The team leader shook his head, then lowered his voice and sounded secretive as he said, ”I heard that he is the one from the Mu Estate.”

”The Mu Estate? Are you referring to Mu Chen?” The four of them shouted in unison, while each of their faces was filled with amazement.

They found this to be truly unbelievable. After all, nothing had been heard about Mu Chen for the past few years. He had been keeping a low profile. Thus, the Great Thousand World only remembered him now for the incident that had taken place in Maha Continent, when he fought with Maha Tian.

Back then, Mu Chen was only at the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level. Although he possessed the strength to contend with the Divine Heavenly Sovereigns, there was still a great disparity between him and people like Qin Tian, who was at the later stage of the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level.
