The Bahha Resistance Army requests aid as Star Fortress No. 65, codenamed Phantom and piloted by the formidable Morana, infiltrates the Baha World. A shapeshifting alien from the Nora Wan Clan has corrupted a church, leading to chaos and the death of a saint. Morana declares the astral deities corrupt and announces the Nora Council's governance, sparking widespread insurrections across Star Zones.

The gods and demons are no more; all Clans shall ascend!

Within the projection, the voice of the Chaos Emperor boomed, resonant and powerful.

This was the first instance of such defiance being voiced to the multitudes of the Multidimensional Plane. Previous Supreme Heavenly Choppings had never involved the lower strata of the planes.

Yet, the Chaos Emperor understood that seemingly insignificant existences, when united, could forge an unstoppable era. This was the people's might.

Even in the transcendent realms, history is not solely shaped by the mighty; the lower classes can indeed author it, particularly in a transcendent path like the astral world, which thrives on faith as its bedrock.

Water can float a boat, but it can also overturn it.

Should the believers begin to awaken and their dissent spread like a contagion, amidst the present internal and external crises, the astral world would lack the fortitude to halt its advance and could only permit its proliferation.

The force of this rebellion would steadily augment.

Eventually, the astral world would crumble from within, needing no external assault.

Naturally, Nora could not afford such a protracted wait.

The Chaos Emperor's objective was to erode the very foundation of the astral world's faith!

At the precipice of collapse, he would deliver the final push!

The Emperor's words reverberated through world after world, spanning numerous Star Zones, his image and likeness indelibly etched into the consciousness of every faithful follower.

What utter blasphemy!

What profound disloyalty!

Someone roared in fury:

"Blasphemer!"

"Demon from another realm!"

"This is falsehood! Hahaha, it must be a fabrication!"

"Just you wait, my Lord will bring down Divine Retribution!"

Others displayed a flicker of uncertainty.

"Could it be that my Lord fights alongside demons?"

"My Lord will undoubtedly provide a clear explanation; this must be a misunderstanding."

"Grant my Lord some time; the innocent shall remain untainted."

Faced with irrefutable projections, a segment of the populace remained unsettled.

Historically, there had been attempts to tarnish the astral world's image and incite revolt among believers; however, these were mere pronouncements, exposing inconsequential transgressions.

Swiftly, under the Church's stringent measures, such dissent was extinguished.

A staggering 99.99% of believers remained oblivious to such occurrences.

How could any true liberation of thought or awakening possibly take root?

This time, however, was different.

The Nora Council had meticulously prepared. Even before hostilities commenced, the [Star Realm Thought Liberation Organization] had already employed coercion, bribery, displays of power, and illicit exchanges – employing "any means necessary" to sway certain high-ranking Church officials.

Furthermore, the Council had bolstered the resistance movements oppressed by the Church, transforming these "militia" into disciplined armies through vital funding, advanced technology, and strategic personnel.

Rebel factions across various Star Zones maintained a network of communication, establishing "Liberator Departments." Each was spearheaded by an "Awakener Leader" dispatched by the Nora Council, fostering mutual aid and inter-Star Zone communication.

These Awakeners would systematically dismantle the divine illusions held by individuals, utilizing arcane knowledge to dissect the principles behind the gods' creation and rampant expansion, exposing the brutal history of the astral world's ascendancy.

Through creatively adapted narratives, they would immortalize the great figures who had historically opposed the astral world, commissioning accomplished novelists and minstrels for their craft.

Titles such as "Origin of All Things," "The Demise of the Twin Dragons," "Giants' Twilight," "Beneath the Heavens," and "Sauron's Defiance"—a cascade of literary works, instigated by Nora, proliferated across the myriad mortal kingdoms and transcendent organizations within the major Star Zones.

Moreover, foundational extraordinary techniques like the Night Crow Meditation Art, Knight Technique, and Arcane Technique were freely disseminated to every major Star Zone, bestowing upon them the chance for greater strength, irrespective of their cultivation potential, fostering belief in Nora's earnest intentions.

Promising wizard prodigies from civilized territories were granted passage by Nora authorities to prestigious wizarding academies for advanced education, subsequently returning to their homelands to illuminate the path forward.

The portrayal of Nora by these returning talents painted a picture of immense power, unfettered freedom, vibrant intellectual discourse, the ascendancy of all Clans, and the boundless competition of all species amidst the celestial expanse!

Every individual, like a soaring dragon!

It became evident that a godless world could indeed be magnificent, fostering diverse individual lives instead of the predestined cycle dictated by the Church, from cradle to grave.

Believers struggled to satisfy their hunger, whilst the clergy indulged in lavish feasts.

Exorbitant taxes and arbitrary levies!

Crafty justifications abounded!

Thus, a unified ideology of "Nora Liberalism" began to take hold.

Dismantling the astral world from its roots was the only truly effective method; otherwise, the perpetually naive and ignorant populace would continue to nurture divine influence within the astral world, fanning the flames of endless chaos.

The Chaos Emperor enacted policies previously unimagined by Sauron; in this world beyond mortal comprehension, many concepts were too fantastical, too difficult to grasp.

No one could ascertain the origin of the Emperor's peculiar decrees.

When questioned, he would respond with serene composure:

"These are not my personal notions, but the ultimate truth encompassing all existence.

It has always been present, simply a gem obscured by dust."

Such was the Emperor's eternal humility and broad perspective!

Ultimately, a series of measures, tailored to this transcendent land and executed with Nora's unique flair, established the ideological and theoretical groundwork for the 'All Clans’ Heavenly Chopping'.

...

The Yashe World.

The Blood Fire Dominator Dojo.

Under the yoke of the War Church and the God Race, the bearman-like indigenous people, known as the [Green Bear Clan], endured lives of abject misery. Resembling the Panda Clan in their adorably clumsy nature, they wielded tools and mystical items crafted from green wood, toiling endlessly in grueling labor.

This wasn't a 996 work schedule; it was 007!

A Church overseer was currently lashing several idle members of the Green Bear Clan.

"You lazy louts!"

"How dare you take a moment to relieve yourselves? Ten lashes for each!"

"What's this? Still not satisfied?"

"Without our protection, you would have long ago been devoured by savage beasts."

"A pack of simpletons!"

Despite all attempts, these Green Bear Clan members could never be converted into followers. Consequently, the Church resorted to suppressing their labor through forced servitude, compelling them to mine resources and cultivate medicinal herbs.
