At that moment, Hu Ben Main God said to Yunxiao Main God, "Brother Yun Xiao, your plan is perfect, but we can’t send all our senior leaders to the Outer Realm! You may choose two helpers to accompany you."
Yunxiao Main God’s face lit up. "Rest assured, Brother Hu Ben, I am determined to shatter the last hopes of the Righteous Divine Lineage this time! After all, this world belongs to us, the Evil Gods! It has nothing to do with those Righteous Gods!"
"Good!" Hu Ben Main God nodded in approval.
Then, Yunxiao Main God turned to the others. "Brother Farlan, Brother Yu Mo, I must trouble you to accompany me."
"Of course," they both replied, nodding. They accepted without hesitation.
Yunxiao Main God then shot Qin Heavenly Main God a look of contempt. Qin Heavenly Main God clenched his fists but ultimately relented.
Hu Ben Main God then announced, "Alright, Brother Yu Ling will stay with me to command the armies! With proper coordination, we will surely crush the insignificant Righteous Divine Lineage!"
Still unconvinced, Qin Heavenly Main God spoke up, "Brother Hu Ben, I have an impertinent request!"
"What is it?" Hu Ben Main God asked.
Qin Heavenly Main God said, "I’ll be outmatched on my own!"
"Do you want Brother Yu Ling to go with you?" Hu Ben Main God frowned.
Main God of Spirit, meanwhile, appeared indifferent. After all, he had never considered Qin Heavenly Main God his equal.
"Brother Hu Ben, you misunderstand," Qin Heavenly Main God clarified. "The armies cannot be without their commanders. I was hoping you could entrust me with leading the forces arrayed against the Demon Clan. After all, the Demon Clan will certainly not make a move unless the Righteous Divine Lineage is truly on the verge of collapsing against our assault."
"Now that you mention it, I had almost forgotten," Hu Ben Main God said. "There is indeed an invincible army stationed there!"
Qin Heavenly Main God was elated to hear this, thinking his request had been approved.
But Hu Ben Main God continued, "We must still guard against the Demon Clan, even if they don’t act. They have grown close to the Righteous Divine Lineage, after all. Brother Yu Ling, you will take charge there!"
Hearing this, Qin Heavenly Main God’s heart sank. He was once again being looked down upon.
Main God of Spirit declared, "Don’t worry, Brother Hu Ben. As long as I am there, the Demon Clan won’t dare cross the line!"
"Very well. Let’s move out!" Hu Ben Main God commanded.
Once outside, Qin Heavenly Main God’s expression soured when he saw Yunxiao Main God. His plans had been thwarted today, largely thanks to Yunxiao Main God’s interference.
Yunxiao Main God approached him. "Brother Qin Tian, you seem quite dissatisfied with me, but you can’t blame me! I am simply considering the bigger picture for the Evil Divine Lineage."
Qin Heavenly Main God chuckled. "Heh, Brother Yun Xiao, you misunderstand. How could I possibly blame you? Who knows, maybe your plan will succeed and the schemes of the Righteous Divine Lineage will truly be crushed."
Yunxiao Main God’s face suddenly turned serious. "It will succeed. Just you wait and see!" With that, he strode away smugly.
You all look down on me, so be it. Once I bring back the God-Slayer’s head, we’ll see who dares to belittle me then! You’re just a bunch of pampered, useless fools. I’m actually looking forward to seeing how badly you fail on this trip to the Outer Realm!
With that thought, Qin Heavenly Main God departed.
War had broken out in full force across the Divine Domain. The Righteous Divine Lineage had established a long defensive line that the Evil God forces could not breach. In total, both sides had deployed over three million troops. The scale of the conflict was terrifying.
The only exception was the Outer Realm. Because Ye Fan’s domain was not within the defensive line, several Main Gods wished to take command there. However, Ye Fan rejected their offers. He knew their intentions were good—they simply wanted to help protect him from being annihilated. But Ye Fan knew that his Outer Realm, while seemingly the most dangerous place, was also the safest. He had already devised a way to handle any threat. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about the Outer Realm in the slightest. To him, it was a personal paradise.
Although armies from the Divine Domain attacked the periphery of the Outer Realm, their efforts were futile. On several occasions, the Evil God armies had advanced only to disappear the moment they crossed into the Outer Domain. Tens of thousands of troops had vanished without a trace. As a result, despite a force of over two hundred thousand soldiers waiting outside, no one dared to attack what was known as the most ominous place in the Divine Domain. Anyone who ventured into the Outer Domain might die without ever knowing how.
This was Ye Fan’s unique advantage. Even if a hundred thousand troops stormed in at once, they would be reduced to mere food. The subordinates of the three Asura Divine Beasts were ravenous and had even taken the initiative to launch several attacks, achieving victory each time.
Consequently, the garrisoned army had to retreat even further. It felt less like they were the aggressors and more like the Outer Realm was attacking them, forcing them into a defensive posture. In an era of prolonged stalemate, the Outer Realm was a true anomaly—always charging forward, seemingly invincible.
However, three unwelcome guests arrived today.
They were none other than Farlan Main God, Yunxiao Main God, and Demon Suppression Main God.
"The Outer Domain is indeed terrifying," Yunxiao Main God commented. "Our armies have gained no advantage here. Instead, we’ve lost more than a hundred thousand men! Brother Farlan, you’re familiar with this place. Do you know how many top-level experts they have?"
"The Outer Domain is home to many ominous beings, some of which are very powerful," Farlan Main God replied. "I have a premonition that my old adversary has awakened. That boy must be leveraging my old adversary’s power to cause such trouble in the Divine Domain!"
"Is this old adversary of yours very strong?" Demon Suppression Main God asked.
The memory of the Misfortune Pangolin sent a shiver of fear through Farlan Main God. "Very strong," he said. "Even in his weakest state, he fought me to a draw. Now, his strength is likely on par with my own!" His tone betrayed a hint of apprehension.
"I’m confident the three of us together can slay your old adversary without issue!" Yunxiao Main God declared.
"That won’t be necessary," Farlan Main God said, full of confidence. "I’ve grown much stronger since then. Brother Yun Xiao and I, working together, have more than enough power to exterminate that ominous being. Meanwhile, Brother Yu Mo can kill the boy!"
"Good. The division of labor is clear," said Demon Suppression Main God. "Shall we set out?"
"Indeed, it’s time to go!"
The three of them set off swiftly, heading into the depths of the Outer Realm. However, they walked for a long time but seemed to make no progress.
Demon Suppression Main God was the first to speak. "It seems we’re just going in circles!"
"Yes, I’ve noticed that as well," Yunxiao Main God agreed.
"It’s the aura of an Array," Farlan Main God deduced. "They must know we’re here. They’ve set up this Array to confuse us, or perhaps they fear our strength and are using it to keep us out, hoping we’ll give up."
"Retreat because it’s difficult? Hmph! In their dreams!" Yunxiao Main God scoffed. He then turned to Farlan Main God. "Brother Farlan, how confident are you that you can break this Array?"
Farlan Main God replied, "This Array is very peculiar. It isn’t difficult to break, but it will be time-consuming. I estimate it will take at least ten days to half a month to unravel it!"
"That’s too long!" Yunxiao Main God exclaimed.
"I might have a way," Demon Suppression Main God suddenly interjected.
