Upon hearing this news, even more gods felt despair.
They remembered that in their previous battles with the demon god, the main god had always opened the inheritance in advance, making plans ahead of time when the demon god was not yet complete.
Furthermore, they set up countless formations, using the energy of the main god as a sacrifice, and only then were they able to barely seal the demon god away.
Even so, each time the casualties were heavy, and it was still impossible to completely eradicate it.
But in this era, the demon race not only mobilized ahead of schedule, but the completeness of the demon god's power was also refreshed to an unprecedented level.
And their beloved god is still not making any move, so what confidence do they have left to defeat the demon god?
Is it destined that I will lose to the Demon God in this life?
They had always been able to defeat the demons, so they never thought about what would happen if they lost. But now, they were starting to panic.
"Calm down, everyone..."
The city lord hadn't expected this outcome either. His deep, cold voice rang out again, "You're still missing one last fragment to reach the Great Perfection. Don't you understand? As long as the Demon God hasn't reached the Great Perfection, we still have a chance. Now is the time for us, as gods, to fulfill our responsibilities. Do you want to become slaves of the demon race?"
"slave…"
The gods, who were initially confused, felt either anger or relief upon hearing these words.
Being a slave doesn't mean you'll die...
"Of course we don't want to, but we can't sacrifice ourselves in vain."
Although all the gods were righteous and awe-inspiring before, that was under the premise that they had hope of victory. Now that they are facing a life-or-death situation, both humans and gods have the same weakness.
That is, fear of death.
Gods also rose from human beings. Why did they become gods? Wasn't it to obtain eternal life?
Now, most of them would naturally be unwilling to die.
The saying goes, "It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death." Sometimes, in order to survive, dignity becomes less important.
"That's right, as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood."
Soon, some cowardly people came up with high-sounding words and found very good reasons for their fear of death.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Although the gods' words were chaotic and noisy, they still clearly reached the city lord's ears, making him feel extremely ironic and angry.
These gods, who received far more preferential treatment than the rest of the world when they were not in danger, are now bowing down to the demons because they are afraid of death.
What disappointed him most was that they were already planning to give up before the very last moment.
What does it mean to "keep the green hills, and you'll never run out of firewood"?
One of the gods spoke up, questioning, "Do you mean you want to become a slave and food for the demons?"
"The strength of our gods is not something that the demons can easily manipulate."
Upon hearing this, another deity whispered, "Exactly, can't we come up with a win-win solution?"
"hehe…"
Upon hearing this, some of the gods immediately understood and couldn't help but let out a series of cold laughs. "You mean you want to live a life of ignominy and then offer humans as gifts for the demons to enjoy?"
"What do you mean by 'enjoy'? Don't put it so harshly."
