Well, it made sense too! The Void Clan had dealt catastrophic damage to these two great Forces and even seized the God Race’s Yggdrasil.

 

A loss of that magnitude would have driven any ordinary Force to forgo everything and fight to the death.

 

Only because the Buddhist Sect and the God Race were monstrously powerful could they recover even this much. However, even with the recovery, their losses were still considerable.

 

Rumor had it that within the God Race, eight hundred Gods now lay dormant, including even the Pantheon Lord of Chaos.

 

Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but shift his gaze toward the remaining Forces: the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Kun Peng Clan…

 

With the Buddhist Sect and God Race showing such staggering resolve, the pressure on the others was bound to be immense. After all, those two Forces had suffered grievous losses, hence their radical determination.

 

But what about the others?

 

If the Dragon Clan or Phoenix Clan were asked to mobilize similar forces… it would be a difficult demand.

 

Just then, as though sensing Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, Ni Shang, the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix, turned back and smiled softly.

 

Her smile was breathtakingly beautiful, capable of overturning the nations. The entire palace seemed to brighten with her radiance.

 

“Seeing the resolve of the Buddhist Sect and the God Race has moved us deeply,” Ni Shang stated, her tone sincere. “However, for my Clan to mobilize forces of that scale, we must first consult our Elders.”

 

Then, she added on her own initiative, “And then there is also the matter of the God Race’s Yggdrasil being corrupted by the Void. According to the rumors, it has become a formidable force, one that rivals a Hegemon… With that in mind… suppressing the Void Clan may prove even more difficult.”

 

As she continued, a faint trace of worry colored her voice.

 

“Indeed.” Nodding, Dream Dragon of the Dragon Clan agreed.

 

At present, the Void Clan no longer possessed just one Void Hegemon, but two. And one of them, in particular, possessed enough power to seriously damage even the God Race.

 

Slightly furrowing her brow, Dream Dragon offered her proposal, “This matter requires long-term consideration. We cannot afford to be hasty in our decision.”

 

“…” Listening in silence, the other Forces nodded one after another.

 

Since it was not their own problem, they would keep their distance.

 

This was quite natural.

 

More importantly, if the Buddhist Sect and God Race were deploying forces of that scale, then for the others to join, they could not send any fewer.

 

For them, such mobilization would be enough to cripple them.

 

Thus, a heavy silence gradually filled the palace.

 

[As expected… uniting the Myriad Races is nearly impossible…] Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, understanding the rhyme and reason.

 

In fact, it would have been rather strange if the Myriad Races could unite wholeheartedly.

 

They might join forces, but to form a single, unified force? That was completely impossible!

 

Their pride, grudges, and interests would ensure that it would never happen.

 

And this… was precisely what Yu Zi Yu hoped for.

 

“Hahaha…” A sudden soft laugh escaped him, drawing every gaze in the hall.

 

When they turned, they saw the Demon Emperor slowly rising to his feet.

 

“This matter requires careful discussion. There is no need to rush. Let’s rest for today. We will reconvene after some time,” he stated in a calm and collected voice.

 

As he presented his stance, Spiritual Energy surged around Yu Zi Yu.

 

*Booooom…*

 

The next moment, a thunderous roar reverberated through the palace, as time and space distorted, before Yu Zi Yu vanished into thin air from the palace, leaving the gathered powerhouses staring at one another in stunned silence…

 

Leaving the palace, Yu Zi Yu headed straight for the Demon Court’s headquarters on Planet Celestus.

 

It too was a massive palace.

 

But unlike before, the entire Demon Court’s forces had assembled.

 

“We pay our respect to the Demon Emperor…”

 

“We pay our respect to the Demon Emperor…”

 

Voices echoed in unison as several figures knelt in reverence.

 

Lifting his gaze, Yu Zi Yu immediately spotted familiar faces among the crowd: Golden Ant, White Tiger, and others.

 

However, compared to before, Golden Ant had become quite remarkable.

 

Clad in golden scales, he appeared majestic and imposing. He looked no different than a War God clad in golden armor. Even when standing still, he radiated an unshakable authority.

 

Yu Zi Yu’s suddenly narrowed. He noticed that Golden Ant had awakened a new Divine Ability.

 

Divine Ability: The Ultimate Limit of Strength — To walk the Dao of Strength means to suppress all with sheer power. This ability allows the user to concentrate all of their physical strength at a single point in an instant, unleashing a punch that far exceeds one’s limits. The terrifying power it unleashes allows the user to meet a Heagemon head-on, yielding not a single inch in the contest of strength.

 

After going through the ability, Yu Zi Yu finally came to understand how Golden Ant managed to battle the peerless prodigy from the Kun Peng Clan.

 

“Not bad. Truly not bad. Little Fifth, you’ve grown again…” praised Yu Zi Yu, not hiding the admiration in his words.

 

*Hehe…* A wide grin appeared on Golden Ant’s face, looking unusually proud.

 

This Divine Ability was something he had comprehended at the brink of life and death. It was a terrifying trump card, one he could use to unleash an extremely brilliant strike.

 

If even this could not catch his Master’s eye, then…

 

But just then, White Tiger beside him seemed to have remembered something and spoke up, “Master… Didn’t you go discuss an alliance with those guys?”

 

“Discuss? They all have their own axe to grind… besides, this matter is far too big, a proper planning is needed…” Saying so, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. “I believe many people will come looking for me in the coming days.”

 

“Looking for you?”

 

White Tiger was a little confused and perplexed.

 

“Yes. Looking for me.” Yu Zi Yu nodded with certainty. “At my current position, my every word and action can sway the entire cosmos. So everyone will try to probe my intentions, both openly and secretly.”

 

Then, glancing at White Tiger, Golden Ant, and the others, he instructed, “You all must keep your mouths shut. Don’t reveal that I intend to join the alliance.”

 

““Yes, Master.””

 

A unified response echoed through the hall.

 

However, not far away, Princess Ling Er’s corner of eye couldn’t help but twitch.

 

[If Master truly doesn’t want it leaked, he wouldn’t have said it out loud in front of everyone. Especially when White Tiger is present, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut even if his life depended on it. Give him a few pots of wine, and he’d spill all secrets faster than pouring beans out of a jar…]

 

At this time, not only Ling Er, even Golden Ant shot White Tiger a strange look.

 

Feeling their stares, White Tiger quickly waved his paws in panic, and assured, “Don’t worry! Don’t worry! I won’t say anything… absolutely won’t say anything…” He even swore with great solemnity, “If I let anything slip, I vow to beg for punishment with thorns upon my back, and enter secluded cultivation for a century!”

 

“Oh, really?” Yu Zi Yu asked with a teasing smile.

 

“Of course!” White Tiger thumped his chest, affirming with complete confidence.
