Sixty thousand versus six million, that was a tenfold difference!
Once a fight broke out, the situation would be overwhelmingly one-sided.
The outcome would certainly be dire.
Moreover, before leaving, Xiao Mo had only instructed them to hold back the God of Annihilation Xue Tu and the God of End Jessy Qiongxi.
He had not asked them to do anything else.
Without Xiao Mo's command, they dared not act rashly, for any mishap would be disastrous.
The God of End Jessy Qiongxi glared furiously at Xian'er. "I advise you not to be foolish. Clear the way at once, or our demon army will declare war upon you!"
Xian'er snorted contemptuously. "You, a defeated foe, how dare you be so arrogant? I beat you once, and I can beat you again.
"Even if you can stop me now, will I not be able to capture you later?
"If you dare to provoke me now, I will hunt you down with all my might once this matter is concluded."
Upon hearing this, Jessy Qiongxi suddenly felt a surge of panic.
Yet, beneath the panic, a fierce anger welled up within him.
"Then I shall flatten the Immortal Demon Empire, even if it means my death. We'll go down together!"
As he spoke, Jessy Qiongxi began to command the demon army.
"Charge! Annihilate those damned Immortal Demon forces, turn the Immortal Demon Empire into ruins, and leave no one alive."
The million gods who had come to spectate stared at the scene before them, their expressions filled with astonishment.
"What on earth has happened? Why have the Immortal Demon Empire and the evil faction forged such a deep enmity?"
"Could it be because of the last incident? Didn't they settle it then? What disagreement has arisen again?"
"That's right, didn't they make a pact before the Elf Goddess, agreeing not to fight anymore? Now it seems they are on the verge of war again."
"These pantheons are truly incomprehensible."
"What's so incomprehensible about it? Clearly, the evil faction did not uphold their promise. While King of Gods Xiao Mo led other gods to the 'expedition against evil in another world',
"the evil faction, along with the Glorious Empire, gathered their forces to attack the Immortal Demon Empire. This is the truth.
"We all witnessed these events."
"Indeed, we saw the Immortal Demon Empire's forces depart, and immediately the evil faction, together with the Glorious Empire, attacked them. However, for some reason, they were unsuccessful later on."
"Why else would that be? It must be because the Immortal Demon Empire is incredibly powerful, and these individuals lacked the capability to conquer it."
"It seems all the blame lies with the evil faction!"
"Precisely. The evil faction is becoming increasingly unreasonable. The Holy War is about to begin, and this is a time for unity and cooperation.
"Yet, the evil faction has repeatedly broken treaties and instigated conflicts. It's truly despicable.
"Everything the Immortal Demon Empire has done is merely for self-preservation.
"It appears the evil faction has become too arrogant and is truly detestable."
"We sincerely hope someone will step in soon to discipline them and stop them from provoking further wars."
"..."
Seeing that all members of the evil faction had raised their weapons, their imposing aura ready to advance on the Immortal Demon Empire's forces,
everyone present became tense.
However, at that very moment, a clear voice rang out.
"Stop! Have you forgotten what you promised me? Before the Holy War begins, no wars are to be initiated. What are you doing?"
As the voice echoed, everyone felt a divine might descend upon the area.
The Elf Goddess, along with Christina, had returned.
The God of Annihilation Xue Tu and the God of End Jessy Qiongxi had not anticipated the Elf Goddess would arrive so promptly.
For a moment, they silently cursed the King of the Glorious Empire, Hes Adam, for his incompetence.
The Elf Goddess swept her gaze across everyone present, her authoritative eyes causing the majority to instinctively lower their heads, unable to meet her gaze.
The Elf Goddess spoke, "Clearly, the evil faction and the Immortal Demon Empire promised me they would cease their hostilities. What of you now?"
Jin Xuan shot an displeased glance at the Elf Goddess, stating with strong disapproval,
"Elf Goddess, we did not initiate this war. The evil faction has already attacked our doorstep. Must we not resist?"
The Elf Goddess clearly had not expected to be rebutted by a territory lord at the peak of the God tier.
However, she could not refute Jin Xuan's words and was temporarily speechless, only able to say,
"I am doing this for the sake of the Primordial Continent. I do not blame the Immortal Demon Empire."
Jin Xuan knew the Elf Goddess was trying to appear impartial, but she still felt extremely displeased.
Seeing the Elf Goddess arrive, Xian'er asked,
"Since the Elf Goddess is here, please provide us with an explanation. What should we do now?
"The evil faction had a pact with us, promising not to attack the Immortal Demon Empire again. Moreover, they agreed that if they were to provoke war again, we would be free to do as we please.
The Elf Goddess appeared somewhat conflicted. She evidently wished to mediate, considering the impending Holy War.
At this very moment, she was contemplating how to reconcile the dispute between the Immortal Demon Empire and the evil faction.
However, in the next instant, her gaze fell upon Xian'er and Jin Liu'er, and her expression became one of utter shock.
"Two God Lord peak-level deities? How is this possible?"
The Elf Goddess found it almost unbelievable. She had not expected Xian'er to have advanced from the mid-grade God Lord to the peak of the God Lord tier.
Even less did she expect another deity of peak God Lord caliber to exist.
Furthermore, the beautiful goddess with golden wings behind her exuded an aura of heavenly punishment that inspired deep awe.
This realization simultaneously brought her joy and concern.
She rejoiced that their Primordial Continent's strength had grown, but worried that mediation would be difficult this time.
Thus, the Elf Goddess fell into a dilemma, unsure of how to proceed.
