Against the Gods

o keep his silence for now.

The king realms of the Western Divine Region had come together as one, the hidden Dragon Gods had returned to the world, and their destination… was none other than the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm!

If a battle truly took place here, it would be no exaggeration to claim that the very realm they were standing on would shatter into dust!

Buzz

Yan Tianxiao waved his hands and created a buzz that shook everyone’s ears and eliminated all the noise.
Then, he asked solemnly, “Has the Devil Master agreed to this?”

The Devil Queen shook her head at first, but stopped herself midway and nodded slowly.
“There’s no need to hide anything now, I suppose.”

She moved out of the way and revealed the sealed entrance to the central hall.
It was surrounded by seven flowing barriers.
“Earlier, I told you all that the Devil Master has entered secluded cultivation after chancing upon a breakthrough opportunity.
The truth is, he found the way to use the Eternal Heaven Pearl and activate the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm.
Right now, he is cultivating inside it.”

There was practically no one who didn’t know that the Eternal Heaven Pearl was in Yun Che’s hands.

“…!?” Qianye Ying’er shot Chi Wuyao another incredulous look.
Why did she reveal this as well?

Qianye Ying’er didn’t understand what it meant to exchange honesty with honesty in the face of death.

Her wits and ruthlessness might be surpassed by no one, but her ability to control the will of the people was ultimately far below Chi Wuyao’s.

“…is it not possible to enter or exit the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm freely?” Yan Tianxiao asked.

Chi Wuyao shook her head before replying, “The Eternal Heaven Divine Realm is a world with its own independent laws.
It is completely separate from the real world, meaning that the Devil Master has no way of knowing what is going on right now.
There is no way to send a message to him either.”

“Moreover, external disruption is absolutely forbidden after the Eternal Heaven Pearl is activated.
Otherwise, the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm may collapse, and in the worst case scenario… the Devil Master himself may die with it.”

Yan Tianxiao’s expression grew solemn.
“How much longer will the Devil Master be cultivating inside the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm?”

“Two days,” Chi Wuyao said indifferently.
“The Devil Master is the Devil Emperor reincarnate, and he’s capable of creating miracles no matter the situation.
This time though… fate isn’t on our side.
We must retreat.”

“But…” Fen Daoqi sucked in a deep breath before asking, “what happens to the Devil Master if we retreat now? I understand that the Eternal Heaven Pearl mustn’t be disrupted, but is it possible to transfer it to a profound ark? Using the gentlest means we can think of?”

Chi Wuyao fell silent for a moment before sidestepping the question.
“Worry not, I shall protect him myself.
Your duty is to leave immediately.
We have already dilly-dallied for too long.”

The meaning behind her words became clear.
The commotion turned into deathly silence once more.

“You are saying that we can retreat, but the Devil Master cannot? But… but that means…”

Chi Wuyao said, “It is a terrible choice, but it is also the only choice we have.
Without the Devil Master, any battle waged against the Western Divine Region can only end in complete annihilation.
If we leave now, we will still have hope and a future.”

She swept her gaze across the crowd again before frowning suddenly.
“What else are you people waiting for? We only have two hours left! We cannot afford to waste a single moment! Leave and make preparations for the retreat now!”

“N-NO!”

A young man’s cry suddenly cut through the air.
It was Tian Guhu with a distorted expression on his face, “We can never leave the Devil Master behind!”

Chi Wuyao glared at him.
“Are you going to die for nothing then!? You have already created history! You have already earned more than enough glory! Right now, retreating is the wisest and only choice we have! As long as we escape back to the Northern Divine Region, as long as we stay alive, there is always hope to make a comeback! This is not the time to be acting emotionally!”

“Without the Devil Master, we wouldn’t have forged the era of devils, however short it may be! Without the Devil Master, we wouldn’t be creating any history! Without the Devil Master, we wouldn’t even have the strength to set foot on this land right now!”

Tian Guhu’s face was red, and his voice was shivering.
“We may not survive at this last hurdle, but at least we would’ve shown that we are penned animals of the Northern Divine Region no longer! It was our ancestors’ long-cherished wish to look down on our oppressors and savor their fear!”

“The one who truly forged this era and miracle isn’t us, but the Devil Master! We are just lucky devils who got to enjoy the shadows cast by his darkness! With that in mind, I can never leave the Devil Master to face the Western Divine Region himself!”

“This is an order!” Chi Wuyao’s voice grew severe.

“Forgive me, but that is one order I will not obey!” Tian Guhu dropped to his knees, but his determination was unwavering.
“If I somehow survive this crisis, you may punish me however you wish.
But the only way you’re making me abandon the Devil Master in a time of crisis… is to execute me!”

“…” Chi Wuyao remained frowning, but her voice softened a bit as she explained patiently, “Tian Guhu, I am not blind to your loyalty.
However, while it makes sense for me, the wife of the Devil Master to live and die with him, you are different.
Your life and strength should be devoted to the survival of the Northern Divine Region.
You don’t deserve to die a worthless death for the Devil Master.”

“I must disagree, Your Majesty!” Tian Guhu replied without hesitation, “Starting now on, Guhu of Tian swears to spill all his blood and power only for the Devil Master!”

His words caused ears to ring, hearts to race, and souls to shiver.

“Well said, my son!!”

Tian Muyi, the Imperial Heaven Realm King roared as he stood next to Tian Guhu.
His subsequent declaration shook the ground itself.
“That we are standing on this soil and basking in its sun is already a favor we may never repay in a lifetime! To leave the Devil Master to die while we escape? The guilt would haunt me until I die!”

“If our war against the heavens must end here, so be it! We will simply entrust our duty to the next generation.
But today, Imperial Heaven Realm King Tian Muyi will fight for the Devil Master with all his power!”

He even turned around and shouted, “Men of my Imperial Heaven Realm, heed my call! This upcoming battle is a battle of no return! This battle is fought in the name of the Devil Master and the Devil Master only!”

“All those who wish to leave may board the Imperial Heaven Ship and leave now! If you manage to return to the Northern Divine Region, I trust you to become the guide and hope of our future generations! Remember, no one will stop you, and no one will scorn you for making this choice!”

“As for those who wish to fight for the Devil Master, stand behind my back right now!”

A scene that shocked every Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm profound practitioner present and even Qianye Ying’er happened.
Every Imperial Heaven Realm profound practitioner had moved behind Tian Muyi and Tian Guhu like they had practiced this their whole life.

Not one person had chosen to escape this fight!
