Chapter 447-1: Progenitor Blood, the Sealed Power of the Ancient Dragons (1)
From the Executor’s words, it could be inferred that at the very least, the Polar Star Society did not know of the new oracle recorded on the divine stele, and the star gods secretly supporting it from behind might not know either.

[You do not immediately agree to the alliance request, but instead say calmly that since the Executor wishes to form an alliance and has come to the underground Abyss to meet you for that purpose, why has it come empty-handed, without bringing any sincerity?]
[The Executor, seeing victory already within its grasp, knows that you will certainly agree to the alliance request, otherwise the many demons will likely begin to harbor misgivings toward you.]
[But it did not expect that you would completely refuse to play by common sense, and would actually demand benefits from it in public at such a crucial moment…]
[After a brief thought, the Executor understands the key point. In the current negotiation, it holds the absolute advantage, while you, the Abyss Child, are at a disadvantage. Even if you are unwilling inside, under the pressure of the many demons’ wishes, you can only agree to the alliance request.]
