Chapter 215.2: New Subjects
"What grand gift? As if I'd care!" Thunder scoffed then paused. "Fine. You've begged me three or four times already. You're practically groveling. Since I'm kindhearted, I'll reluctantly agree. Don't think it's because of your lousy gift!"
He seemed oddly proud about it.
Qi Yuan beamed. "So many joyous occasions today."
Until now, Clearwater Village only had one Great Venerable, Qionghua, and she was still at the North Sea Divine Eye. Now, they had Thunder as well.
Thunder snapped. "Don't celebrate too early! You're crazy, wiping out four enemy camps like that. The new gods won't delay the war any longer."
To make matters worse, new gods far outnumbered the ancient gods. If a full-scale war like the Hongtang War broke out, the ancient gods would definitely perish. In fact, they only survived until now because the new gods hadn't bothered to purge them.
The reason was simple. Within the Heavenly Pillar, a Yang Spirit lay dormant, devouring the realm's Heavenly Dao. As the Heavenly Dao grew weaker, Nascent Souls and even True Gods began to feel hunger. Once it was fully consumed, the fate of every ancient god would rest on that Yang Spirit's whim.
Thus, many new gods had little interest in risking their lives. Why bother? Whether in a few decades or a century at most, the ancient gods would all perish eventually.
However, Qi Yuan had already slaughtered the evil gods of the Feng and Lin Empires, then wiped out four enemy camps.
Out of the five continents in the north, four would probably sit back and watch. At most, they would treat it as idle gossip over tea. However, the field marshalArmy Lord of the Qingheng Continent definitely wouldn't sit still. The four fallen camp masters had been his trusted generals. He would have to reclaim his reputation at all costs.
Thunder warned, "It won't take ten or fifteen days before the field marshalArmy Lord sends his top generals here. You'd better prepare yourself! When the time comes, I reckon there'll be at least ten Great Venerables! Even fleeing to the North Sea Divine Eye won't save you."
Qi Yuan merely smiled. "So the game setting is: beat the small ones and the old ones show up? My setting is: beat the small ones then beat the old ones too!"
