In the following days, An Ge and the divine servants kept to themselves, spending a great deal of time cultivating within the Qiankun Bracelet almost every day. However, with An Sui, Yang Wei, and Xiao Qi managing the inn, nothing went wrong.
Although the alliance tried to keep it a secret, news soon spread that Garcia was a follower of the evil god. According to insiders, Garcia attacked Ango's master but was ultimately killed by Ango.
For this, the Alliance also compensated Goddess Ange with a large sum of money. At the time, she was walking around the Alliance with a sack full of divine coins, and many gods saw her.
Rumors quickly spread that the Alliance had been infiltrated by the forces of the evil god. All the gods knew that Lord Ange and the evil god were at odds, which explained why she refused to join the Alliance.
At the same time, the alliance was clearly divided into two factions. One faction, led by Yin Cang, was the resistance faction, which demanded a thorough investigation of the traitors within the alliance and launched a proactive attack on the Evil Realm.
The other faction is the hesitant faction, led by their leader. They neither submit nor oppose, and their attitude towards the evil realm is unclear.
By the time An Ge emerged from the Qiankun Bracelet, the world outside had completely changed. She watched as more and more Divine Lords from the Alliance poured into the cultivation room, utterly bewildered. She had been inside the Qiankun Bracelet for over a thousand years, but less than a month had passed in the outside world—the changes were too drastic!
When the God of Illness saw An Ge, he gave her a look that said, "You've been wronged." He said, "Lord An Ge, we've decided to form the God of Misfortune Alliance, and you will be our leader. The God Realm Alliance might be dominated by evil gods now, so we should make plans as soon as possible."
An Ge was completely bewildered. What was this "Alliance of Misfortune"? After hearing the explanation from the God of Illness, her entire being was filled with rejection.
She gathered these unpopular but powerful deities, naturally intending to expand her own power, but not now. If she were to announce now that she wanted to form an organization to oppose the Divine Realm Alliance, she might face opposition from the entire Divine Realm.
"Well, I appreciate everyone's kindness, but we can talk about this later."
"Lord Ange is indeed a man of noble character. As long as Lord Ange is here, we, the gods, will have a pillar of support. The position of leader of the God of Misfortune Alliance will always be yours."
An Ge's lips twitched. "The Alliance of the Gods of Misfortune"—that sounded awful, especially since she might be the leader of it. Having stopped the God of Illness and other deities from immediately forming the Alliance of the Gods of Misfortune, An Ge went directly to An Sui to inquire about the situation.
"Shopkeeper, you've finally finished your seclusion. Lord Yin Cang has been looking for you several times, and it seems like he has something urgent to discuss."
"Tell me about what's been happening in the Divine Realm lately, and I'll contact Grandpa Yin in a bit." The Divine Realm used to remain relatively unchanged for decades, but now, in just one month, things have changed dramatically, so she needs to be aware of the situation there in advance.
Hearing An Sui's words, An Ge gasped. She had anticipated turmoil within the alliance, but she hadn't expected it to be this severe. The alliance had completely fractured, with some spirited deities leaving and even planning to form an organization to rebel against it.
What a blunder! I should have known better than to stop the God of Illness from forming the God of Illness Alliance.
"Manager, we don't have enough cultivation rooms. Those immortals who left the alliance can no longer enjoy cultivation resources, so they've all come to our inn."
"Tsk, no wonder business has been so good lately. Use all the divine coins you've earned to open a training room." An Ge knew that as long as the alliance maintained its connection with the smaller planes, its status would not be fundamentally impacted.
The key point is that the Alliance's divine intervention isn't the only one right now. Once she reveals the Holographic World, that will truly cause upheaval.
After learning about the recent events in the Divine Realm, An Ge saw the Dragon God in a great hurry.
"Brother Long, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
"Hey girl, I need a favor. Things haven't been going well in the Alliance lately. I sensed a plea from the dragons in the lower realms, but I can't show myself. I wonder if you could help me communicate with them?"
The Alliance's control over divine descent not only concerns whether the true form of a deity can descend to a minor plane, but also their connection with believers. Deities like the Dragon God, who rely on their followers, are particularly vulnerable to the Alliance's intervention.
"My brother's business is my business. There's no question of asking for favors. I just didn't expect the alliance to tamper with the divine descent directly. It seems those opposing gods won't last much longer."
The Dragon God grew increasingly dissatisfied with the Alliance, especially now that he was no longer subject to their control. He could no longer suppress his temper. "If you ask me, now is the perfect time to announce the Holographic World. At that time, many gods will surely flock to you."
An Ge shook her head. "Let's see how things go for now. Big brother, you just need to send your aura into the holographic world, and you can communicate with your followers anytime, just like before." She herself had followers, and she usually communicated with them in this way.
Following An Ge's instructions, Long Yutian channeled his divine power into the holographic realm, which indeed responded to the believer. At the same time, An Ge also sensed the connection between the Dragon God and the believer, and could even sever the connection with a single thought.
An Ge stared in astonishment at the holographic world, increasingly convinced that it was the cornerstone of the Heavenly Dao's plan to build another divine realm. And what role did she play within it?
"Great, girl! Isn't this just like the Alliance's Divine Descent Platform?" Long Yutian was refreshed, the frustration he had felt from the Alliance's suppression over the past few days vanished. "Girl, there are quite a few other gods like me these days. Do you want to tell them?"
"Let's wait a bit. I'll go see Grandpa Yin and get his opinion."
Long Yutian frowned as he thought about Yin Cang's recent behavior. "Yin Cang has been acting strangely lately. He was clearly the most opposed to the leader, but I don't know what happened, he's been saying good things about the leader."
As for whether Yin Cang would defect to the leader, Long Yutian wasn't worried at all. Yin Cang was a staunch resister; if even he had been turned by the leader, the immortals who followed him would have been rendered powerless long ago.
"I've always been curious about the leader's attitude. Maybe Grandpa Yin will reveal something this time."
“I don’t care about things that require brains, but I’m firmly on your side. If you want to form a new alliance, I will absolutely support you. Right now, many powerful gods are dissatisfied with the alliance, which is why I want you to announce the Holographic Realm.”
Long Yutian was right; now was indeed a good time to bring the Holographic World to the world's attention. But she didn't want to act rashly before understanding the leader's intentions.
After bidding farewell to the Dragon God, An Ge went directly to Yin Cang and asked him about the alliance.
Upon seeing An Ge, Yin Cang was taken aback. Unlike the Dragon God, he wasn't careless, and given An Ge's undisguised display of power, he immediately recognized her strength.
"Where have you been cultivating? With this level of strength, it would probably take at least a thousand years to cultivate properly, right?"
An Ge intentionally revealed his strength to Yin Cang. High strength and significant influence would allow him to better understand the inside story.
