"I've had some fortuitous encounters, and not only me, but my divine servants have also seen a significant improvement in their strength. So, Grandpa Yin, can you tell me about the Divine Realm?"
Yin Cang sighed, "I've been hesitant about whether to drag you into the conflict, but now that I see your strength, I'm relieved. Chief, I'm afraid your days are numbered."
An Ge thought she had misheard and quickly rubbed her ears. "Isn't the leader the spirit of the divine realm? If the divine realm doesn't come, how can the leader not die?"
“I only found out recently. No wonder the leader has been acting more and more cautiously lately. He’s afraid that if a major upheaval occurs, the Divine Realm may cease to exist. Come with me, the leader wants to see you.”
Upon seeing the leader again, An Ge could clearly sense that he had aged considerably. In the Divine Realm, there was no concept of aging; the leader now looked like a terminally ill middle-aged man, utterly devoid of energy. She had initially thought Yin Cang was joking, but seeing the leader's appearance, she knew it wasn't an exaggeration.
"You were looking for me?"
The leader looked at An Ge with a complicated expression, but did not blame her. "You must have already heard Yin Cang tell you, right?"
An Ge nodded. "Grandpa Yin told me you didn't have long to live. What exactly happened?"
The leader sighed, "Actually, I felt something was wrong with my body ten years ago. I originally thought it was just a problem with a few minor planes, but even after sending a deity to repair them, it didn't work. You might think that as the spirit of the divine realm, I can control the life and death of minor planes or even the divine realm itself, but that's not the case. My divine power only grants gods the ability to communicate with the lower realms."
But now my spiritual power is insufficient; I can't even open the passage between gods and believers. If things don't go as planned, by the next divine descent, I'll have lost even the ability to organize a large-scale divine arrival. Do you know what the consequences will be once I lose contact with the mortal realm?
Will the belief in gods gradually disappear?
"This is only one aspect. What's more serious is that over time, the immortal power of the entire divine realm will slowly disappear, and eventually the divine realm will vanish, as will I. I am interdependent with the divine realm, so how could I not want the divine realm to prosper? But now I have exhausted all my strength just to keep the plane running, and I really have no ability to deal with the evil god anymore."
Looking at the leader's aged face, An Ge took a deep breath and said, "One is a long pain, and the other is a short pain. They are both pains, so what's the difference? Your health problems must be caused by the evil god. If the evil forces are not completely eliminated, you will eventually be unable to hold on. What will happen to the divine realm then?"
To some extent, the Alliance Leader and the Old Demon King share similarities in personality, both lacking the courage to take a desperate gamble.
The leader was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "You're right, but we should try to delay as long as possible. This concerns the billions of gods in the Divine Realm. Until a solution is found, I must do my best to maintain the stability of the Divine Realm."
An Ge understood the leader's perspective but disagreed with this approach. "If you had dealt with the Evil Domain on a large scale twenty years earlier, your body probably wouldn't have had these problems, right?"
The leader choked, but had to admit that An Ge's words made sense. "I was wrong before, but what can I do now that things have come to this?"
"Organize the gods and immortals of the divine realm to launch an attack on the evil god."
"There might already be gods in the alliance who have guessed my physical condition, and even control over my lifespan. I just took a slightly firm stance, and this is what happened." The leader gave a bitter smile. If the gods of the Divine Realm knew that their leader was controlled by an evil god, the entire Divine Realm would be in turmoil.
An Ge was startled, truly not expecting the leader to face such a situation. "Do you know who it is?"
The leader shook his head. "There are quite a few forces of evil gods in the alliance. Eliminating them is not a difficult task. The difficulty lies in the fact that once the Divine Realm takes action, they will reduce my lifespan again. At that time, the Divine Realm will fall into chaos on its own without the evil realm even needing to intervene."
“Perhaps even if your attitude is unclear, the Divine Realm is not far from falling into chaos.” An Ge felt that if he were in control of the Divine Realm’s lifeline, he would not be so patient as to wait for the Divine Realm to fall into chaos on its own; he would definitely add fuel to the fire.
She recalled the summoning experiments that the Evil Realm had been conducting. It seemed that the Evil Realm did not only want to connect with the smaller planes, but their target had always been the spirit of the divine realm.
How cunning! An Ge was so angry that she wanted to run straight to the Evil Realm and have a big fight with the other party.
The leader's eyes held a hint of worry for the Divine Realm. "Yes, the Divine Realm is on the verge of chaos. Even before news spreads from the Evil Realm, the Divine Realm can guess what's going on just by looking at my physical condition. That's why I haven't dared to leave the Alliance's gates during this time. Yin Cang said you might have a solution, which is why I told you about it."
"Your talent is the best I've ever seen, and you seem to have had some extraordinary encounters, but this concerns the survival of the Divine Realm. I wonder what Yin Cang is thinking, placing his hopes on a mere junior deity who has just arrived in the Divine Realm?" He felt that he was really grasping at straws in his desperation, actually believing Yin Cang's words and actually bringing An Ge here.
This wasn't meant to be sarcastic; it was simply stating a fact. As a spirit of the divine realm, he naturally knew that power alone wasn't enough to control a minor plane.
An Ge pursed her lips, looked at Yin Cang, and after receiving his affirmative expression, her concerns disappeared. "Maybe I really can help."
Under the leader's puzzled gaze, An Ge explained the holographic world. After listening to An Ge's words, the leader was speechless for a long time.
"Yin Cang, am I getting senile?"
Yin Cang smiled and said, "Chief, what my granddaughter said is true. She does indeed have a holographic world that can communicate with different dimensions. I saw it with my own eyes."
The leader was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with joy. "Good, very good! The Divine Realm is saved!" After laughing, he looked at An Ge with a solemn expression. "Divine Lord An Ge, the Divine Realm will have to rely on you from now on. Hmph, the Evil Realm will never have imagined that even if they kill me, the Divine Realm will still have a backup plan."
The thought of that scene made the leader's headache disappear, and he no longer feared death. He couldn't wait to fight the evil realm for three hundred rounds right now. "Take me to the Holographic Realm to see if it's the same as the God's Descent Platform. And can the communication between gods and believers also be done through the Holographic Realm?"
An Ge was speechless, realizing for the first time that her leader had this side to her. However, she could understand; a seemingly hopeless crisis had suddenly taken a turn for the better, and she herself would have jumped for joy. Her leader's reaction was rather composed.
"The things you're worried about can be solved in the Holographic Realm; it's already been tested among the Dragon Gods. I thought you'd mind..."
"Why would I mind? I'm happy to have someone share my burden. To be honest, I've wanted to quit this mascot role for a long time." The leader's words were surprising, startling An Ge and Yin Cang.
