Soon, chaos erupted within the invaders' ranks as they frantically searched for traitors who had launched sneak attacks during the battle. To quickly identify these "sixth men," they resorted to oaths and contracts for verification.

Those with a clear conscience naturally accept the oath and contract without hesitation, while those with ulterior motives, the "sixth brother," reveal their true colors when faced with these methods, making the investigation work very efficient.

Meanwhile, the remaining "Sixth Brothers" on the battlefield also began to notice the unusual silence. The sounds of battle outside had abruptly ceased, which made their hearts tighten. They all wondered if the people of the Divine Island had successfully repelled them all?

But this shouldn't be happening. How long has it been? How could there be results so quickly? Or have they already invaded the island? Is that why it's so quiet?

Faced with this speculation, many of the "sixth men" could no longer sit still. They cautiously peeked out to observe the situation. As expected, apart from the corpses scattered all over the battlefield, there were no other signs of life.

This reality filled the remaining "sixth men" with fear and anxiety. They hurriedly climbed to the top of their respective ships and strained to see into the distance, trying to understand the current battle situation.

When these "sixth men" climbed onto the ship's roof to try and scout, their presence was immediately exposed. All the remaining intruders angrily turned their gazes to the faces on the roof, their hearts filled with rage and a desire to punish these traitors immediately.

The number of "Old Six" identified in the crowd was not large, and everyone thought he was just a few bad apples. However, it turned out that most of them were hiding inside the boat.

Obviously, if they weren't hiding in the shadows, how could they not know that the entire team had retreated? Therefore, it can be concluded that those who were unaware of the retreat and are still hiding on the ships are basically the "sixth men" who ambushed their teammates on the battlefield and reaped the benefits.

In this way, all the traitors were exposed one by one. Those "Old Six" who stabbed him in the back now had nowhere to hide. They would face a just trial and the punishment they deserved from their comrades.

Meanwhile, on the shores of the Heart of the Gods, Ela and the others were closely monitoring the movements within the invaders' camp, preparing to respond to any potential new conflicts or changes, and ensuring the safety and order of the Heart of the Gods.

......

At the top of the World Tree, Chen Ping, Gabriel, and Qiuqiu remained silent, observing. Suddenly, Chen Ping spoke first:

Chen Ping: "Hmm, it seems those behind-the-scenes figures have finally lost their patience and are preparing to make their own appearance."

Qiuqiu responded, "Indeed, if this rabble cannot play a role, they will have no choice but to take matters into their own hands or use means to force the invaders to launch an attack, in an attempt to open a passage to the Heart of the Divine Island."

Chen Ping stroked his chin and nodded in agreement: "Qiuqiu is right. Those five early-stage Creator Gods and one mid-stage Creator God would indeed find it easy to control these invaders and launch an attack if they wanted to."

However, Gabriel was unimpressed. She rolled her eyes and bluntly said, "Why bother with all this? Why not just let me deal with them? A few early and mid-stage Creator Gods can't even withstand a single move from me."

After hearing this, Chen Ping gently pinched Gabriel's cheek and explained with a smile, "I know you can easily deal with them, but what I value more is this rare opportunity for our people to gain practical experience."

Although we have a training ground for our people to practice, real combat experience and the ability to adapt to complex situations can never be replaced. Especially when dealing with those cunning "sixth brothers," this is invaluable experience for our overly honest and kind-hearted people who rarely resort to tricks.

Chen Ping's words were full of profound meaning. He hoped that through this sudden incident, the people of Shendao would be tempered in actual combat and learn that on a complex and ever-changing battlefield, they should not only have the courage to confront each other head-on, but also the wisdom to deal with conspiracies and tricks.

Qiuqiu nodded in agreement: "That's right. The people in the Heart of the Divine Island are too pure and upright. Their living environment is almost devoid of intrigue. This is certainly a good thing, but it can also make them lack the necessary vigilance and coping strategies when facing complex situations in the outside world."

Even intelligence-gathering experts like the Serpent People lack this skill. It seems we need to strengthen their education in this area; they don't need to be masters of political maneuvering, but at least they should learn how to identify and defend against such threats.

Gabriel tilted her head and pondered for a while, then seemed to have grasped something and laughed smugly, "Oh, I get it, hehe, I'm so smart."

Seeing Gabriel's self-absorbed expression, Chen Ping chuckled to himself, thinking, "You understand? What do you understand?" But he didn't say anything, only giving Gabriel a doting look.

I thought to myself that the growth of every ethnic group requires time and the accumulation of experience, including how to understand and cope with the complexities and diversity of the world. As leaders, they must not only protect their people, but also guide them towards maturity and strength; this is the long-term solution.

Of course, Chen Ping didn't need to personally impart these life wisdoms and social experiences; the clan leaders, such as Lu Shu and Linafeier, would handle the arrangements. After all, Chen Ping himself didn't have much practical experience in this area; he hadn't been tempered by the world or experienced the trials of secular society.

He had traveled here before even officially entering university, so he was unfamiliar with the complexities of human relationships and deceit in society, and retained a kind of innocent naiveté deep down.

......

"Useless! So many men, and they didn't even get close to the edge of an island before being routed. It's utterly disgraceful!"

On a ship in the distance, one of the five men, a tall and burly man, was furious and shouted angrily.

"How pathetic! So many troops, and they were routed before they even reached the edge of the island. Heh, they're truly useless trash. If you ask me, why don't we just take matters into our own hands? What use are these scumbags?"

The only woman among the five spoke seductively.

Upon hearing the woman's words, the first person to curse immediately agreed, saying, "That's right, Huanhun is right. Let's just take action. What use are these useless trash? They're completely useless."

Hearing someone agree with her, Huanhun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and even gave that person a flirty wink.

The other three haven't spoken yet, clearly still thinking.
