"Even the gods are not immune to fear. And fear… breeds betrayal."

The Celestial War Begins
BOOOOOOOOM!
The entire sky burned with divine power as the Celestial Court's full army descended.
Hundreds of Heavenly Generals.
Thousands of Immortal Saints.
Three Divine Lords, each commanding the power to erase entire worlds.
This was no longer a battle.
This was a war between gods.
Xiao Tian stood in the center, his golden aura surging as he clashed with the Divine Lords.
Each strike shattered space, each movement defied reality itself.
Yet, even as the battle raged, something… changed.
A ripple of unseen power spread through the heavens.
And in the midst of the chaos—a hidden force finally moved.

The Gods Who Defy the Heavens
In the depths of the Celestial Court, within a secret palace untouched for millennia, a group of beings stood in silence.
Not mortals. Not fallen warriors.
But gods.
Ancient deities, once loyal to the Celestial Court—but now waiting for its fall.
The leader, a figure wrapped in black celestial robes, his eyes deep like the void, spoke.
"The heavens have always feared him."
He turned, gazing at the massive golden gateway where the battle raged.
"Now, they see why."
A goddess with silver hair, her aura tainted with chaotic divinity, smirked.
"So? Do we finally move?"
The leader's voice was cold.
"The Supreme Celestial Lord believes he commands all of heaven."
He slowly clenched his fist.
"Let us remind him that gods… can fall."

Betrayal in the Ranks
As the Celestial Army pushed forward, surrounding Xiao Tian and his Forgotten Legion—
A sudden shift occurred.
A group of Heavenly Generals turned their blades—not toward Xiao Tian, but toward their own commanders.
SLASH!
A Divine Lord staggered back, golden blood spilling from a wound inflicted by his own men.
"You—!" he roared, but his words were cut off as another heavenly spear pierced his back.
Across the battlefield, Heavenly Generals and Saints turned against their own ranks.
The heavens themselves descended into chaos.
From above, the Supreme Celestial Lord watched, his expression dark.
"The traitors… have revealed themselves."
And below, Xiao Tian simply smiled.
"Did you really think I was the only one waiting for this day?"
The war was no longer Heaven vs. the Golden Emperor.
It was Heaven vs. Itself.
And Xiao Tian was about to burn it all down.
