At that moment, most of the godly spirits stood up from their seats and looked at Long Chen with unfriendly gazes. With so many godly spirits present, the godly might they gave off was boundless. Adding on this malice, the entire Hell God City seemed to freeze.
Among the 72 deities, some had yet to become Divine Emperors, so they wouldn't affect Long Chen at all. Some of the Divine Emperors weren't much of a threat to him either. The ones who could truly suppress him were the Divine Emperors at the perfection and ultimate realms.
And there was more than one of them.
It seemed that the only one who was truly friendly to him was the Godly King of Hell, and everyone knew that the Godly King's friendliness was genuine.
Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang stood up as well. Of course, the former didn't panic.
"Long Chen, since you're a member of the Dragon Sacrifice Pantheon, don't protect the primordial demons. Our world is still extremely fragile, and as its protectors, we can't allow such a huge threat to exist around us."
"That's right. Demon Wa is extremely powerful and was the strongest demon after the Era Skyfiend. How can you be sure that she's truly dead?"
Those who said such things here were basically of relatively high status.
The deities didn't need to do anything. Just their threatening gazes alone was enough to make any young deity crumble.
However, this didn't work on Long Chen.
As the conflict approached, Long Chen remembered the Dragon Emperor's warning and said, "Everyone, don't be so nervous. Back when we faced a group of Primeval Troll, we weren't as strong as we are now, but we didn't wipe out all of the Primeval Troll either. What I mean is that the primordial demons are nothing to be afraid of, not to mention the dead Demon Wa. An enemy that I can take care of should be nothing to you."
To be honest, Mo Xiaolang was already a little nervous. If they did anything to Soyeon, he would definitely fight to the death.
Long Chen pulled him back and calmed him down.
Long Chen did not go against the gods. He flattered them unconsciously and finished his speech with a smile on his face. To be able to remain calm and composed in the face of the gods' threats also showed his courage.
"Clap, clap." At this moment, the God King of Hell finally expressed his stance.
His attitude was to applaud.
When the gods saw him beaming, they were very satisfied, and they knew the answer in their hearts.
As expected, at this moment, the Godly King of Hell said with a smile, "Long Chen is right. You guys are too cowardly. You don't even have the courage to do that. The two of them could deal with the Era Heavenly Demon, why would they be afraid of the dead Demon Wa? Besides, there were only the two of them at that time, and Demon Wa didn't even recover a little bit of her strength. Now, there's no trace of her.
The gods lowered their heads and did not refute.
The Godly King of Hell was in charge here. No matter how much the other gods said, it was still up to the Godly King of Hell.
At this moment, the Godly King of Hell said to Long Chen, "After saying so much, Long Chen, show us your sister. Let us see what the former Demon Wa was like."
Hearing this, Mo Xiaolang became nervous again.
This Godly King of Hell seemed to be smiling weirdly all day long. No matter how one looked at him, he seemed to be up to no good.
"Of course, no problem."
Long Chen agreed on behalf of Mo Xiaolang.
This was a hurdle they had to pass, or else it would attract more trouble. Today was a good opportunity to solve this matter. As for the result, it would depend on what kind of god the Godly King of Hell was.
Long Chen let Soyeon out of the God Kingdom. Seeing the serious expressions of the gods, Soyeon was so scared that she hid beside Long Chen and Long Chen, only daring to poke her head out to look at the gods.
"Be good, little fella. We are all good people. Don't be afraid of us."
In the blink of an eye, the Godly King of Hell was standing in front of Long Chen and the others. He was very close, and the cold aura from his body made them feel as though they were in hell.
"Hmm …"
Soyeon nodded.
"Very well, go back." The Godly King of Hell returned to his position and waved his hand.
This hurdle was easily passed. At least in the future, Soyeon wouldn't cause any big trouble when she appeared. Of course, they still had to be wary of the things in the dark.
"It's not a problem to stay here, but I have a request. If she devours living beings in order to recover Demon Wa's peak strength, even if it's just one, as long as I find out, I won't let it go easily. Every life is important. This is something that Long Chen, you should be able to understand, right?"
The Godly King of Hell said solemnly.
"She definitely won't do that," Long Chen said solemnly.
As he said that, he had already let Soyeon return to his God Nation. After settling this matter, Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this Godly King of Hell was a little better than he had imagined.
Following that, the gods seemed to have forgotten about this matter.
"Long Chen, after you've returned, you haven't had a good walk down the Dragon Sacrificial Continent yet. Let's go down together and take a look at the mountains and rivers that have changed tremendously. You'll definitely be shocked."
The banquet ended just like that.
After the gods had their fill, with the Godly King of Hell in the lead, they formed a group and descended from the Eternal God Domain. With their speed, it didn't take long for them to arrive in the sky above the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. The current Dragon Sacrificial Continent was several times more stable than the Eternal God Domain of the past. There was no need to worry that it would collapse after the gods arrived.
Although the Dragon Sacrificial Continent had lost most of its land, it was still incomparably vast to them even now. Below them were densely packed living beings, and the gods didn't even bother to conceal their tracks. When they swept across the sky, countless living beings were alarmed and hurriedly knelt on the ground, shedding tears of gratitude.
Long Chen was at a loss. Here, this piece of land had gained new life. Under the nourishment of the Eternal Opal's World Creation Spirit Qi, even ordinary land had grown Immortal Spirits in a short two years. The entire Dragon Sacrificial Continent was like a fairyland, with abundant Spiritual Qi and countless experts.
Starting from the Far West, they headed east. Along the way, groups of living beings piously knelt on the ground, welcoming the arrival of the gods. They knelt deeply on the ground, thanking the gods for their kindness.
"Fortunately, even though we've returned, we've finally completed our historical mission and brought the Dragon Sacrificial World a new life, allowing our home to come to life once more."
The Godly King of Hell faced the raging winds, his long hair fluttering. Thousands of living beings were cheering for him, and the gods were taking him as the center.
Long Chen was more concerned about the changes in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
"It seems … really is a lot better …"
In the past, what he was most worried about was that the Dragon Sacrificial Continent would perish after a hundred years. Now, it seemed that he had really worried too much. Not only did the Dragon Sacrificial Continent not perish, but it had also obtained a new life and was beginning to prosper.
"Perhaps the voice that told me that the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was about to perish didn't know that these gods were returning."
Long Chen thought.
At this time, the Godly King of Hell said to him, "Perhaps you still had some doubts about us in the beginning, but now that you've seen all this, you should understand. Perhaps our departure back then was indeed very hasty, but today is enough to prove that we were right. We've saved our home. I've already told your matter to the Godking, and he admires you very much. Before long, he'll return with other powerful Godly Kings. At that time, it'll be the time when our Dragon Sacrificial Continent truly strides towards the peak. One day, we'll realize the grand occasion of the Primordial Era."
"Di Jun, huh …"
This was a Godking who had a deep relationship with him. From Di Yu, to the conflict with City Lord Di Jun, and finally to the fortuitous encounter with Di Jun's statue, it was very complicated. The return of this Godking made Long Chen feel even more pressure than the Godly King of Hell.
At his peak, Di Jun was probably the supreme being of the myriad worlds that was close to the Ancestral Dragon. At that level, even the current Long Chen might be as weak as an ant in front of him. This feeling of not being able to control his own fate made Long Chen a little unhappy.
In three days, Long Chen traveled leisurely from the extreme west to the extreme east. He saw a completely new world. He saw the brand new Divine Dragon Nation and the three Sovereign Regions. This was his former home.
"What do you think of the power of the Eternal Argent Stone?" the Godly King of Hell asked.
Long Chen said, "It's vast and boundless, with uncanny workmanship. It's a treasure that can save the world."
"Not bad." The Godly King of Hell was very satisfied with his words.
"Let's return to the Eternal God Domain. From now on, we gods will work together to protect this world and make it better."
With the Godly King of Hell in the lead, the group returned.
On the way, Long Chen asked, "Why don't I see the Radiant Godking?"
The Godly King of Hell chuckled. "That guy doesn't get along with me. His main job is to keep an eye on me, and he's used to hiding. But he should be meeting with you."
Although there shouldn't be any conflict between him and the Radiant Godking, Long Chen couldn't help but pay attention to him. After all, they were both people who could decide whether he lived or died.
But before returning to the Eternal God Domain, a godly spirit in golden armor blocked Long Chen's path. This godly spirit had an aura similar to the War Devil's, but it was purer, less ferocious, and more domineering. He was the one with the strongest battle intent among the gods, and Long Chen found him somewhat familiar.
"Godly King, Long Chen's strength is very strange. He has a vast amount of godly spirit origin power, but he hasn't reached godly ascension yet. I heard that he defeated the Era Skydevil, so I'm sure everyone is very curious about his battle prowess. I wonder if I can represent my brothers and sisters and spar with this genius? Let's see what he's capable of defeating the Era Skydevil."
The godly spirit spoke in a deep, heavy voice.
Long Chen thought about it for a moment and roughly understood that this was a War God.
In other words, the first godly spirit he'd visited in the Eternal God Domain was a devil who had ascended to godhood. He was the one who had caused Mo Xiaolang to become a devil....
Speaking of which, the War God was a legend, and Long Chen had a very deep connection with him.
Who would've thought that the War God would represent the gods to challenge him?
