"You don't know the other party's identity, yet you're willing to take on such a huge responsibility for them? Minister Shi, perhaps the other party has done you a favor, but have you ever considered the interests of our Primordial God Clan?"

Hundreds of millions of years ago, our Primordial God Clan fought a war with the Acquired God Clan. The Primordial God Clan suffered countless casualties. Of the remaining Primordial God Clan, 70% surrendered to the Acquired God Clan Dynasty, and only 30% struggled to hold on!

Compared to the number of our Primordial Gods at their peak, the number of Primordial Gods who are still persisting is less than one percent!

It's not that I, Qinglian, am ungrateful! It's just that our Primordial God Clan can no longer withstand any more crises!

I'd rather you, or me, take the blame for this on his behalf! But at least we need to know his identity, right?

"I don't want to cause a great calamity in the future because of this. When we, the innate gods who are still struggling to persevere, are wiped out, we won't even know what caused it or who caused it!" said the Azure Lotus God-King in a deep voice, his tone slightly sorrowful.

A figure who is among the top in the peak of the divine realm, and the strongest figure in the innate divine race to resist the cauldron, uttered such tragic words, which moved Shi Nantian's expression.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. At that time, he agreed to Lin Yun's request in a moment of impulse, without thinking much about it. Of course, it was also because Lin Yun had saved his life and avenged the old clan chief for him. Compared to that, he had only taken the blame for the other party's killing reputation. What did that amount to?

Chen Long had long wanted to kill the other party, but he lacked the ability. If he had the ability, he would have killed the other party long ago. He took the blame for the other party, so why would he care about anything?

Furthermore, he was the one who lured the dragon there, or rather, he was the one who brought the trouble there. In the end, since the other party was afraid of causing trouble, it was only natural for him to take on all the trouble himself!

However, he hadn't considered what the Azure Lotus God Lord had said. Subconsciously, he thought that what the Azure Lotus God Lord said made sense. These innate gods seemed to be stubbornly resisting the acquired god dynasty, but in fact, it was just that the acquired god dynasty hadn't put in enough effort to deal with them.

Given the current strength of the Divine Clan Dynasty, if they were to search for them with all their might, even if the location of their main base kept changing, they would eventually be found by the other side.

Once they come after us, given the current strength of the Later God Dynasty, the outcome is predictable.

However, for some unknown reason, perhaps because they had just acquired a large amount of resources for cultivating in the Divine Realm and were focused on cultivation, or perhaps because they were training their troops, the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty did not go all out to deal with them.

However, I imagine there must be a prerequisite for this.

That is, they can't go too far. Chenlong is no ordinary strongman in the Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty. Now that Chenlong has been killed, it is an earth-shattering event in the Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty.

Leaving aside the leader of the Later God Clan Dynasty, and the other peak God Realm experts of the Later God Clan Dynasty, there are four other peak God Realm experts among the Twelve Zodiac Beasts.

It is said that the twelve zodiac beasts have a good relationship. It is unknown how the other peak gods of the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty will react to this matter, but the other twelve zodiac beasts will most likely avenge Chenlong.

Just like how the Tiger and Sheep were killed by him, and the Dragon sought revenge.

Now that Chenlong has fallen, and it is rumored that he was also killed, the other twelve zodiac beasts will probably search for him even more frantically.

If four peak-level Divine Realm experts start searching for him frantically, how long can their base be preserved?

This is the reaction of the twelve zodiac beasts. If the other peak gods of the acquired divine dynasty also react, the remaining innate gods will be in even greater danger.

Thinking this, Shi Nantian felt even more ashamed.

It wasn't that he regretted agreeing to stop Lin Yun's plan. He was the one who started this whole thing and caused trouble for the other party, who in turn saved his life. So, it was only right that he should have stopped it.

He regretted it; his eagerness for revenge had prevented him from considering all the consequences, which had led to the primordial gods being in such a dangerous situation.

"Hmph! Qinglian, what kind of thinking is this? Who is Chenlong? He is a top expert in the Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty! If the other party kills Chenlong, they are definitely on the opposite side of the Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty! If the other party killed Chenlong after saving Shi Nantian, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Shi Nantian to stop this matter!"

Who are we? We are the remnants of the Primordial God Clan Dynasty! Isn't it normal for us to kill the powerful figures of the Acquired God Clan Dynasty?

Afraid of killing powerful figures from the Later God Clan Dynasty and attracting trouble? Then why are we still resisting here? Just surrender to the Later God Clan Dynasty like those dogs! Become their dogs! Maybe we'll even get some bones to eat!

Why should we be so anxious and fearful now!

Just then, a man in black teleported to their side, looked at the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, snorted coldly, and said.

"King of the Night!" Upon seeing this person appear, Shi Nantian bowed respectfully to the man in black.

This man in black was one of the two remaining peak-level gods of the Primordial God Clan who were still resisting the Later God Clan Dynasty. He was the other one besides the Azure Lotus God Lord, the Night God King.

His strength is slightly weaker than that of the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, but not by much.

The Dark Night God King and the Azure Lotus God Lord are the two remaining pillars of the innate divine race.

With a wave of his hand, the man in black told Shi Nantian to stand up. He looked at Qinglian Divine Lord and continued, "Qinglian, I've noticed that you've become increasingly afraid of the Post-Heavenly Divine Clan Dynasty lately. This isn't like your usual style. Are you really afraid of the Post-Heavenly Divine Clan Dynasty?"

There are now over a hundred peak-level gods in the Divine Clan Dynasty. The death of Chenlong is a minor matter and even a good thing, yet you are so afraid!

Fine, if you're afraid of the acquired god dynasty, just say the word and I'll let you leave the innate god race, whether you want to live a carefree life on your own or become a dog for the acquired god dynasty!

"I'll take care of the remaining innate gods!"

"King of the Night, that's not what the Azure Lotus God Lord meant. It's my fault for not considering things thoroughly..." Seeing the King of the Night's harsh words, Shi Nantian's face flushed red, and he quickly bowed to the King of the Night again, saying.

As he spoke, he was also uneasy. If this caused a rift between the two remaining peak-level gods of the Primordial God Clan, then his sin would be enormous.

Before Shi Nantian could finish speaking, the Azure Lotus God interrupted him, looking at the Night God King and sighing softly, "Night God, I don't blame you for blaming me, and if you blame me, I can completely understand..."

Then, he looked up, his gaze piercing through layers of space to the endless vastness outside, and said softly, "You're right, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of the Post-Heavenly God Dynasty, I'm afraid of the Post-Heavenly God Dynasty's growth rate!"

In less than a billion years, the Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty has produced nearly a hundred peak-level gods, bringing the total number to over a hundred. This growth rate is too fast!

We, the innate divine race, are the darlings of heaven and earth. We break through to the divine realm as soon as we reach adulthood. This is a gift from heaven and earth. However, the rules of heaven and earth fluctuate. No matter how favored a child is, there will always be a time when they fall out of favor!

Just like the ancient gods and demons who were once favored by heaven and earth!

The era of our innate gods has passed; now it is the era of the acquired gods!

Although I don't want to admit it, reality forces me to!

Our innate divine race has a fixed potential; we reach the divine realm as soon as we reach adulthood, haha, but because of this, it is very difficult to make further progress!

The acquired gods are not as good as us innately, but once they grow up, their potential far surpasses ours. The fact that nearly a hundred peak gods were born in less than a billion years proves this point!

I recall what His Majesty once told us: the potential of the God Race. Did he not know that?

He knows!

However, the acquired god realm is born after birth. In theory, as long as they are natural beings, whether they are born from the Great World of Living Beings or from the Universe of Ordinary Living Beings, they all have the potential to become acquired gods!

What can we do? Can we kill all the living creatures in the world?

In that case, the entire world would probably collapse!

We can't kill them, so we can only try to win them over!

However, the potential of the acquired gods is enormous, and His Majesty cannot fully cultivate them... Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before our innate gods are suppressed by the acquired gods!

Originally, His Majesty intended to merge the acquired gods with the innate gods, gradually influencing them... but unexpectedly, the hidden dangers of the acquired gods suddenly erupted!

"The innate gods have perished in large numbers, with less than one in a hundred surviving!" At this point, the Azure Lotus God-King's expression turned deeply sorrowful.

This is not His Majesty's fault, nor even the fault of any living being; it is the result of the changing times.

Listening to the tragic words of the Azure Lotus Myth, both the Night God King and Shi Nantian seemed to see the ferocity of that battle and remained silent.

It was His Majesty's decision that allowed the acquired gods to grow stronger and eventually bring about their annihilation.

Did they truly harbor no resentment? But at this moment, even the slightest resentment in their hearts turned into a sigh. If it weren't for His Majesty's decision, this disaster would have erupted sooner or later; it was only a matter of time!

Perhaps, His Majesty's decision is right. Only when the innate gods and the acquired gods are completely integrated can this crisis be resolved!

However, before His Majesty could do that, the crisis erupted!

"Originally, I thought that as long as we persisted and kept fighting, we could eventually wipe out the strong members of the acquired god race. But what was the result?"

The more we kill the stronger members of the God Clan, the more we increase their numbers!

Originally, we dared to go out and fight the enemy fiercely, but now we can only hide, hide even more secretly, for fear of being discovered by them!

Even the remaining innate gods began to doubt their own persistence, and one by one, the remaining innate god powerhouses went to join the acquired god dynasty!

Even more so, some of our peak-level divine beings have begun to pledge allegiance to the other side!

Now, we don't even dare to tell the remaining innate gods about the development of the acquired gods' dynasty, for fear that if they know about the acquired gods' dynasty, they will also become afraid and leave, or go to join the acquired gods' dynasty!

Yes, I'm scared!

I'm afraid of the Divine Dynasty of the Day After Tomorrow!

I now understand His Majesty's feelings even better!

I fear that even the few remaining seeds of the innate divine race we have will be wiped out by my leadership!

At this point, the Azure Lotus God turned to look at Shi Nantian, then at the Night God, and said, "I don't want to shoulder this burden anymore. I think that perhaps only His Majesty's resurrection can change all of this!"

For years, I have been collecting resources to resurrect His Majesty and searching for an opportunity!

Now, we have reached a critical moment. I do not want, nor dare I, to let our innate divine race encounter problems at this time!

Therefore, my heart has become more sensitive!

Therefore, my heart became more timid!

"Darkness, you're right, I've become timid!"

Hearing the Azure Lotus God's heartfelt words, the Night God King became even more silent.

"Azure Lotus Divine Lord, it's all my fault. I didn't understand the bigger picture..." Shi Nantian said, looking even more flustered and at a loss.

“It’s not your fault. Hei Ye is right. Chen Long is no ordinary person in the Later Heaven God Clan Dynasty. Those people who dared to kill Chen Long must be enemies of the Later Heaven God Clan Dynasty. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if he is not a friend of our Innate God Clan now, there is a high probability that he can become a friend. We don’t need to push away these friends because of some emotions…” Qinglian Divine Lord shook his head and said.

"However, we also need to know specific information in order to make corresponding responses. Right now, the other party has only killed Chenlong. Who knows if the other party will kill other powerful figures from the acquired god dynasty later? And when? If we can know these things in advance, we can make corresponding preparations. Otherwise, if things go wrong, it may lead our innate god race into the abyss!"

Conversely, if we can communicate with the other side early on and form an alliance, it might make both of us safer and more effective in fighting against the Later God Dynasty! After a pause, the Azure Lotus God Lord sighed and said.

“Azure Lotus God, according to my analysis, the other party is unlikely to target the Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty in the near future. They are currently in a period of strength enhancement. Moreover, according to what they said, they should be coming to visit Azure Lotus God and Black Night God soon…” Shi Nantian hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

He hesitated for a while, wondering whether he should tell the Azure Lotus God and the Black Night God about Lin Yun and the Blood Fiend Universe, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it.

The difference is that the location of their current stronghold, the Blood Fiend Universe, is fixed.

If he tells the Azure Lotus God and the Night God King, they will surely be able to find the Blood Fiend Universe and thus find Lin Yun. In doing so, he would be breaking his promise to Lin Yun.

What is sought, decades, or even tens of thousands of years, is not a very long time.

He only needs to keep it a secret for a maximum of tens of thousands of years.

It seems that their innate divine race should be fine during this period.

That being said, even if problems arise, they can contact the other party again later. If the other party has become powerful enough by then, whether they help them or not is their own business.

On the contrary, if he makes a mistake that pushes the other party to the other side or causes a bad result for the other party, then his sin will be even greater.
