Compared with the scarcity of races in the inner area, there are many more races in the middle area, with hundreds of them.

There are more races in peripheral and marginal areas, but they are not eligible to participate.

Tu Shanxue glanced at all the major races and said: "I believe that you all already know the purpose of this mission, so I won't repeat it again. I hope that everyone can work together to see through the secret of the center as soon as possible."

"Set off!"

"Yes, Master Snow!" xn

Teams of all ethnic groups marched into the central area.

The coalition forces soon advanced to the area guarded by the stone statues.

After sensing the intruder, the stone statues activated again.

A war broke out between the two sides.

This time, a large number of new troops joined, and the stone statue army did not have the advantage it had last time.

With powerful races such as the Titans, Giants, and White Elephants, the team is even more powerful.

The fighting style of these power-based races is very violent, and they use destructive and powerful heavy weapons such as maces and sledgehammers.

Every time the giant clan's mace was swung, a large number of statues were smashed to pieces.

The Titan clan's hammer is not bad at all, it also breaks the statue into pieces with one hammer.

There are many powerful races that act as vanguards and open the way ahead.

The statue army is completely powerless to stop the teams of various ethnic groups from advancing towards the center.

The other races are guarding the surroundings, resisting the surrounding statues.

The team moved forward with steady steps.

The fog ahead gradually became thicker and began to interfere with vision.

A faint white mist surrounds the mysterious place, making the already mysterious central area even more mysterious.

After breaking through the defensive formation of the statue, the front suddenly became clear.

Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water, everything is there.

The stone statues did not pursue them and returned to their original places.

"Fuck... look at the clouds, there seem to be figures and buildings." A scream attracted everyone's attention.

On a huge low blank cloud, an arch-like building can be seen.

There is also a large platform in front of the arch.

There are many stone statues guarding the arch.

The golden arch is just above the white clouds, floating leisurely with the white clouds.

On the top of the golden arch are three oracle bone inscriptions: Nantianmen.

"Nantianmen? What is that?" Tu Shanxue frowned.

"I've never heard of it. Is it some kind of space gate?" Lei Tianyu shook his head.

Yue Liuying said uncertainly: "This place is located in the south of the central area, so that gate is called Nantian Gate? Are there East Tianmen, West Tianmen, and North Tianmen in the other three directions?"

Hao Jiutian no longer looked as indifferent as before, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is it possible, it turns out to be Nantianmen?"

Yu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "The Nantian Gate of Heaven is really unbelievable."

"Clan Chief Hao, Xiaoyi, do you know the origin of Nantianmen?" Tu Shanxue asked curiously.

"Alas... our Haotian clan is the descendant of the Emperor of Heaven and has existed for a long time." Hao Jiutian began to explain the origin of his race with a complicated expression.

"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"

Legend has it that Haotian is the first emperor of heaven, who rules the three realms and six realms, and is the only one in heaven and earth.

The current heaven is jointly managed by all the major gods, and each has its own territory.

Before the endless epochs, the heaven was just the office of heaven in this chaos.

The gods in heaven are just employees in offices.

At that time, the institution that governed the heaven was called Tianting, and Nantianmen was one of the four portals of Tianting.

Hao Jiutian's explanation shocked everyone.

"Hiss... is it true? The Emperor of Heaven is so powerful?"

"Why haven't we heard the name of the Emperor of Heaven? Nor heard the rumors of Heaven?"

Hao Jiutian shook his head and said: "I don't know. Maybe it was too long ago and the records were lost. Maybe the gods in the heaven deliberately erased the news about the Emperor of Heaven."

Tu Shanxue asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyi, is what Hao Jiutian said true?"

Yu Yi nodded and said: "I have heard rumors about Emperor Haotian's control of all heavens and realms, and I also know the legend of Heaven.

Although heaven governs countless universes, it is far from the real heaven."

According to rumors, Emperor Haotian is the first Emperor of Heaven, a natural Emperor of Heaven, and the supreme god of all realms.

He rules over all the heavens and all realms, and has so many heavenly masters to his name that no one in the heavens and all realms dares to disobey him.

The second Heavenly Emperor was Emperor Jun, the third Heavenly Emperor was Donghuang Taiyi, the fourth Heavenly Emperor was Huangdi, the fifth Heavenly Emperor was Zhuanxu, and the last Heavenly Emperor was the Jade Emperor.

After the Jade Emperor, there was no legend about the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor.

It was as if all the rumors about the Emperor of Heaven and the Heavenly Court disappeared overnight.

"It's amazing, there are so many heavenly emperors?"

"Alas... It seems that the heavens and the world are more mysterious than we thought. There is actually the so-called Era of the Emperor of Heaven."

"It's scary to think about ruling over all the heavens, all realms, and all the universes. The gods in the heavens are so far behind compared to the Emperor of Heaven."

"If there is South Heaven Gate, is there also East Heaven Gate, West Heaven Gate, and North Heaven Gate?"

Yu Yi nodded and said: "Of course, there are four heavenly gates in heaven, east, west, south, and north. The south gate is the only way to connect the mortal world and the heaven, so the south gate is the most famous."

"The other three heavenly gates are not connected to the mortal world. Few people know about them and they are not famous."

Yue Liuying frowned: "How come Tianting, an organization under the name of the Emperor of Heaven, appears in the Million Mountains?"

Tu Shanxue hesitated and said: "Should we retreat? If the Heavenly Emperor's Heavenly Court is in the central area, let alone our four overlords, even the gods of the heavenly realm will come and return in defeat."

Yu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Sister Xue, you have entered into a misunderstanding. When the real heaven comes, not to mention a small Tianyuan Continent, even the extremely powerful heaven will be overwhelmed by the pressure.

The heaven in front of us should have been imitated by some ancient god based on the rumored heaven, and it is not the authentic one."

Tu Shanxue suddenly realized: "Oh... that's right. My sister was almost frightened by the power of Heaven. She forgot that the real Heaven would never appear on the small Tianyuan Continent."

"Should we send someone to test the strength of Nantianmen's guards first?"

"Can!"

Each of the four overlords sent an eighth-level team to go along the white jade stairs to Nantianmen to test.

As soon as several teams stepped onto the platform of Nantianmen, the stone statues came to life.

The stone statues at Nantianmen are different from the previous stone statues.

The stone statues here all look like humans.

After they were resurrected, a layer of stone skin fell off their bodies, revealing their true appearance.

Those heavenly soldiers and generals are like real living people, sealed in stone statues.

"Wow... the guards of Nantianmen all have strange weapons. One holds a pipa, one holds an umbrella, one holds a snake, and one holds a sword."

Yu Yi explained: "Based on the images of the divine generals guarding Nantianmen, they are the four heavenly kings of the Jade Emperor's era, commanding hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals under their names."

"The four heavenly kings are the king of the state of the east, the king of growth in the south, the king of wide eyes in the west, and the king of hearing in the north."

The king of Eastern Dhrita is dressed in white, wearing armor, and holds a pipa.

The Western King of Guangmu is dressed in red, wearing armor, and holding a strange snake.

The King of Growth in the South is dressed in blue, wearing armor and holding a sword.

The King of Heaven in the North is dressed in green and wears a solemn armor of seven treasures. He holds an umbrella in his right hand and a silver rat in his left hand.

The images of the four people are very distinct.

Tu Shanxue asked curiously: "Where are the guardians of the other three Tianmen? Who are they?"

Hao Jiutian only knew some of the heavenly generals from the Haotian Emperor's era, and knew nothing about the heavenly soldiers and generals from the Jade Emperor's era.

He didn't interrupt, and was waiting for Yu Yi to explain.

Yu Yi had no choice but to teach everyone present about the guardians of the four gates of Heaven.

The East Tianmen is located near the Miaoyan Palace where Taiyi Jiuxianzun lives, and is guarded by Taiyi Jiuxianzun.

Taiyi, the God who saves suffering, also known as Emperor Qingxuan or Emperor Qinghua, is a benevolent person in the Eastern Paradise World who is in charge of rescuing people from suffering.

Taiyi, the God who saves suffering, is also the actual ruler of the Netherworld in the Three Realms, and has a very high status in Taoism.
