If not for that, they wouldn't have had any chance of winning this battle.
After all, it was equivalent to fourteen against eight.
This was mainly thanks to the Elder Gods, who had chosen to believe in Long Chen, and hadn't been fooled by the Tempest Elder God's words.
Therefore, the Tempest Elder Gods' only chance of victory was to have the right to speak against Long Chen's team. They could only do so by rescuing the other five Elder Gods. As long as they formed two camps with almost equal strength, the so-called Elder Gods Alliance would be useless. That way, they would have the right to speak.
And Long Chen's say would be weakened to an unprecedented degree.
But when Long Chen saw through their goal, things were different.
Elder God Ling Su immediately retreated from the battle, protecting the jade disc as she left. The Tempest Elder God and the others really wanted to chase after her, but the problem was that Long Chen's team and the ten Elder Gods were doing their best to stop them, making it impossible for them to break through the encirclement.
In the blink of an eye, Elder God Ling Su had disappeared.
This was a world that belonged to Long Chen. Finding Elder God Lingsu and the jade pendant wouldn't be easy at all. Long Chen had seen through their goal, and in truth, he had cut off their path of retreat. The eight of them were now engaged in a chaotic battle, and there was no point in fighting back at all.
On Long Chen's side, everyone had joined the battle. It was equivalent to thirteen Elder Gods surrounding them.
By now, virtually every single Elder God had already unleashed their world essences.
There was no need to mention just how terrifying the clash of nearly twenty World Essences was. Compared to this chaotic battle, the battle between Long Chen and the Tempest Elder God was nothing more than child's play.
In the chaos, Long Chen couldn't control the opponents he faced. In a short period of time, he had clashed with quite a few Elder Gods. At this critical juncture, the one who appeared before him was the Icesnow Elder God.
As far as the eye could see, everything in the Dragon Devil Ancient Tomb was in the midst of destruction. This was an unprecedented battle that had never happened in an era. If it happened in the Myriad Worlds, it would definitely be endless destruction.
The World Essence of the Icesnow Elder God was an ice spear. Sometimes it was water, sometimes it was ice. When it was water, it was tough and vast, capable of nullifying the attacks of other Elder Gods. When it was ice, it was incomparably sharp, capable of piercing through heaven and earth.
Now that he had his eyes on Long Chen, his killer move shot towards Long Chen.
"Wrath of the Dragon Qilin."
In the instant that he appeared in front of Long Chen, Long Chen had already hidden himself behind the other Elder Gods and had used the Dragonqilin's Wrath on him. In terms of the activation of the Laws, Long Chen held a huge advantage.
The Dragonqilin's Wrath dealt a huge blow to Icesnow Elder God, who was stuck where he was. Patriarch Penglai appeared in front of him, his peach staff rumbling with boundless power as it smashed down on his head!
In that moment of imminent peril, the Icesnow Elder God's ice spear transformed into water, blocking the peachwood staff. The flexibility of water actually blocked the Icesnow Elder God's attack, including the peachwood staff. Of course, as a result, the Icesnow Elder God was forced out of the battle.
Most of the time, the enemy Elder God was being attacked by two or more Elder Gods.
After all, excluding Elder God Ling Su, there were fifteen Elder Gods on their side.
Kitten and the others split up and joined the other Elder Gods. With their help, it wasn't difficult for the other Elder Gods to suppress the other Elder Gods.
Boom! Boom!
Although the battle was chaotic, the overall situation was still under Long Chen's control. For example, the Tempest Elder God was being attacked by Patriarch Infinity and Long Chen. Long Chen naturally understood the principle of capturing the ringleader first. All of this was instigated by the Tempest Elder God, and it was enough to deal with him. He and Patriarch Infinity worked together.
"Dragonqilin's Wrath."
"Rainstorm."
If there was only one Elder God, the Tempest Elder God might have been able to defend against it. But now, there were two. Patriarch Infinity's Rainstorm, under the control of Dragonqilin's Wrath, caused countless rainstorms to pass through the Tempest Elder God's body.
This level of siege heavily injured the Tempest Elder God directly.
Heavily injured, Long Chen instantly transformed into the Primordial Sacrificial Dragon. His enormous dragon claw grabbed the heavily injured Tempest Elder God, and he let out a furious roar that suppressed the entire battlefield.
"All of you, stop. The Tempest Elder God has already been executed. Because of your selfishness, you tried to destroy the alliance, but you have failed. If you don't stop now, none of you will have the right to join the Ancestor Gods Alliance."
Actually, apart from the Tempest Elder God being heavily injured, the eight of them had already suffered quite a few injuries. For example, the Icesnow Elder God. But there was no way for them to stop. At this time, Long Chen gave them a way out.
Instantly, all of the Elder Gods stopped.
Only then did the chaotic situation in the Devil Dragon Tomb settle down.
Seeing that the chaotic battle had finally stopped, Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. This actually meant that the other party's last resistance had failed. Now, it was time to establish the Ancestor Gods Alliance according to Long Chen's will.
Long Chen released the Tempest Elder God, allowing him to return to his team. He looked around and said, "I hope that this is the last time we disagree. From now on, we will be one. Now, there are nineteen Elder Gods here, and five more outside. Including me, the twenty-five of us will form the Ancestor Gods Alliance. I understand that everyone does not like being trapped here, so I can promise everyone that as long as the two treaties are passed, I, Long Chen, will immediately lead everyone out of this place."
With his decision, the Tempest Elder God and the others had nothing to say.
Although they were the Elder Gods who had created the world, the winner was king, and the loser was a bandit.
Right now, they were indeed the losers.
"Let's talk about the treaties first."
Whether or not they wanted to establish the Ancestor Gods Alliance, the first thing to do was to look at the treaties.
It was still somewhat difficult to prepare an extremely detailed treaty in a short period of time. However, Long Chen had two ironclad rules in his mind that could be explained clearly.
Now that the Elder Gods had calmed down, he directly said, "Seniors, I'll get straight to the point. First of all, there must be an ironclad rule in the Ancestor Gods Treaty. The first ironclad rule is that no Elder God is allowed to destroy any world under any circumstances, much less kill more than ten million living beings. Even if it's an accident, that's not allowed. Regardless of the reason, if a world is destroyed, the perpetrator will be severely punished. If any of you have a personal grudge and wish to fight, that's completely fine. However, you must find a place where there's no one around. This is the first ironclad rule of the Ancestor Gods Alliance. Once someone violates it, or destroys more than ten million living beings in one go, that person will receive the most severe punishment. For the ten million living beings, there will be a time limit. That is, within a thousand years.
This number is cumulative. "Actually, Long Chen also had to consider that every Elder God had a limit to what they could endure. They were lofty existences, and there was no way they could be subjected to absolute restrictions. If Long Chen forbade them from slaughtering all living beings, that would be equivalent to Long Chen's rule. As an Elder God, there was no way he would agree to that.
The world absolutely could not be destroyed.
And this number of ten million just happened to be the number that Long Chen could use to resurrect all those existences that he had killed.
As an Elder God, the number of ten million basically restricted them from slaughtering all living beings. Of course, there was no need for them to have any misgivings. The Elder Gods would definitely not haggle over this number.
The crux of the matter was the punishment.
When Long Chen proposed this ironclad rule, the nineteen Elder Gods already knew that he would propose a similar treaty. This treaty was awe-inspiring and would not benefit Long Chen in any way. It would not allow him to rise above the Elder Gods. Its greatest use was to restrict the Elder Gods who had descended.
The Elder Gods on Long Chen's side naturally agreed. They did not want to destroy the peace of the myriad worlds. They also wanted a peaceful environment for their world to flourish. As for the Elder Gods on the other side, they felt uncomfortable and humiliated. However, it was precisely because they were weaker that they could only abide by the treaty. It did not mean that they really wanted to destroy the other worlds. In fact, as peerless Elder Gods, they felt very uncomfortable to be restricted by the treaty.
Long Chen had yet to finish speaking.
"I have already explained clearly to everyone what the first ironclad rule prohibits. If an Elder God were to violate it, then all the other Elder Gods would have to join forces to punish the violator. The specific punishment is that the violator would be imprisoned for a hundred thousand years and would not be able to return to the myriad worlds for a hundred thousand years. If an Elder God were to violate the ironclad rule, every other Elder God would be obligated to join forces to pursue and capture the violator. If an Elder God were to refuse to join forces to pursue and even cover up for the violator, he would be punished by being imprisoned for ten thousand years and would not be able to return to the myriad worlds."
For the peace of the myriad worlds, when formulating this ironclad rule, Long Chen had to ensure that it was ruthless and efficient. He had to ensure that there was a possibility of it being implemented. The latter punishment would largely prevent the ironclad rule from being enforced.
If it was violated, it would result in the collapse of the entire Ancestor God Alliance.
After Long Chen finished speaking, there was indeed a polarizing situation.
"I refuse to accept this. As Elder Gods, how can we be subjected to such restrictions?"
Of course, there were also many who supported it. They did not feel that it was a difficult matter.
Seeing everyone arguing about the ironclad rule, Long Chen said, "Since everyone is divided, let's vote to decide. Those five aren't here, so we will temporarily use the twenty of us as the standard. As long as more than half of us agree, we can implement it. We will follow the majority's opinion. If there is a complete tie, then we will discuss it again."
"Everyone, raise your hands."
After saying that, Long Chen was the first to raise his hand.
