The emotions of the Netherworld God and others were nuanced.
Although you were powerful back then, ultimately, due to impure bloodlines, you were out of place and didn’t participate in anything, isolated by yourself. But now, your return as a king is remarkable.
Once you have defeated Ti God Gu Li and others, you will control about ten Heaven Deities, thus becoming the sole power.
In the original system, all eighteen Heaven Deities were independent. Even if Ti God Gu Li and Space God Feng Xiang wanted to do sothing, gathering everyone for action required a suitable reason, excuse, or interest; otherwise, everyone was free to abstain.
If three or five choose not to participate, they might be coerced. But if more than ten refuse your orders, no matter how capable you are, it’s impossible to force compliance.
If it really cos to a fight, others might not be afraid of you.
But it’s different with the Creation God. He captured the Heaven Deities, seized their divine status, and positioned these Human Clan won, inevitably placing them under his control, making them follow his commands.
How can our group resist such a combination?
Fortunately, the Creation God established a contract; otherwise, the Netherworld God et al. wouldn’t dare to trust him.
In reality, the Netherworld God and others have fallen into a major misunderstanding here; in their full understanding, Chu Jiaxue and the other five won were brought back by the Creation God from the Human Clan, controlled by him, possibly even his won. They lacked decision-making power and were rely tools for the Creation God.
Yet actually, Chu Jiaxue and the five won are one family. The Creation God is considered an outsider, though not an outsider, more an intimate ally.
The contract established by the Creation God was sworn by himself. But if things get disruptive, this contract can only bind the Creation God himself, not Chu Jiaxue and others in the slightest.
But Lin Chen and the others have no intention of exterminating all Heaven Deities. As long as they occupy the dominant position in the Heavenly God Circle, that’s enough.
Should an external enemy invade, then all interests would align naturally for cooperation. Beyond that, Lin Chen sees no need to eliminate others. Unlike Gu Li, who would act rashly due to having a son as an incentive, to seize divine status.
Lin Chen, despite climbing upward all along, is often driven by external environnts. Personally, he’s not very desirous of power nor does he wish to oppress others through his strength or possess special privileges. He simply doesn’t want to be oppressed by others or be subjected to privileges.
The Creation God has laid a trap for the Netherworld God et al., but it’s rely preparatory. If they don’t harbor sches or wicked intentions, Lin Chen and his group are still willing to peacefully coexist with them.
If Lin Chen’s current greatest wish exists, it’s to have himself and several wives along with Zhen Liuxue all beco Heaven Deities.
Currently, the only ones not yet Heaven Deities are myself, Yao Xuanji, and Zhen Liuxue. Now that Space God Feng Xiang is captured, there’s hope for Yao Xuanji becoming Space God; only myself and Zhen Liuxue remain.
The situation is now clear, with the Fire God hiding sowhere unknown. Even if they reappear later, they will certainly not give the chance, so my hope for becoming a deity lies with Earth God.
As for Ti God Gu Li, the Creation God is determined to eliminate him, so there’s no rush; Zhen Liuxue is also a matter of ti.
With this calculation, the six Heaven Deities with the Netherworld God have no conflicts.
The Creation God doesn’t care if they’ve acted before, then naturally Lin Chen even more so.
The Creation God’s gaze swept over all the deities: "Since you’ve acknowledged us and agreed to a peace pact, then naturally there’s no need to ally with Gu Li and them anymore."
The Netherworld God nodded: "Yes, we are quite disappointed with him; he might also harbor fears against us. Being thus mutually disgruntled, there’s no need to pretend any longer; it’s better to frankly open one’s mind."
"After we return this ti, we’ll retreat from your battle, focus on closed door cultivation, and wait for your battle to end."
The Creation God chuckled: "Good, but let remind you, Gu Li is ruthless. Since you won’t follow his command, regardless of neutrality, in his eyes you are traitors, aligned with us."
"Under such a premise, you better look out for each other, after all, they now have only four Heaven Deities, while we have six, soon seven; they can’t effectively counter us, you’ll be hard-pressed to rely on them, and naturally, the only option is for them to replace you..."
The faces of the Netherworld God et al. turned gloomy.
Indeed, with Gu Li’s character, once he learns our group isn’t assisting, then in his eyes, we’re enemies, the proverbial ’squatters in the latrine’, and he’ll certainly devise ans to eliminate us, installing obedient entities as New Gods.
"We will be careful, if he truly acts against us, then we won’t hold back any longer."
The Creation God smiled: "Good, it’s agreed then!"
"Farewell!"
The Netherworld God et al. quickly departed emitting star sky jumps, leaving in midair only the Creation God and six Heaven Deities along with a mainland ravaged by battle. Fortunately, this Vortex Gate was located in the wilderness of ten thousand miles, the bout disrupted this area significantly but didn’t extensively harm distant towns.
"Let’s go!"
Sowhere in the Heavenly God Realm.
Ti God Gu Li activated the token, swiftly Earth God and two other deities appeared before him, while the other six Heaven Deities were delayed in showing up.
Ti God Gu Li’s face was ashen.
Earth God whispered: "When we left, we saw they were also retreating, they should have already escaped danger."
Ti God Gu Li spoke coldly: "They have already made their decision, deciding to surrender."
Earth God widened his eyes: "Surrender? It’s not that serious, the Creation group rely has six Heaven Deities."
Ti God Gu Li replied: "Feng Xiang has been captured by them, a new Heaven Deity will soon arise. Then having the new Space God, they will possess a broader scope for activities and greater advantages; the Netherworld God et al. wouldn’t be oblivious to this status."
"They might not directly surrender, but they’ll certainly negotiate terms. Didn’t you hear Mo Nan previously ntion his private connections with the Netherworld God and those folks, but they never spoke a word to us!"
With these words, the expressions of Earth God and the other two deities turned subtly complex.
With whom haven’t you conspired, but not with us?
Is it contempt for people?
Ti God Gu Li deeply inhaled, comforting: "They haven’t approached you because they know you’re on our side, not aligned with them, that’s why they didn’t reach out."
Earth God was silent, though his emotions were exceedingly nuanced.
How did an advantageous situation suddenly turn out like this?
He suddenly recalled the Fire God standing aside, a sudden surge of regret filled his heart...
