Faced with the blinding light, Jiang Yuan immediately pulled Gu Anlei behind him.
"Conflicts are most likely to escalate at this time. Who comes to this place without wanting to become a god?! Everyone knows that as long as they obtain more of the Emperor Star's Origin, they will be able to use the blood of all living beings to achieve godhood!"
The Night Demon Clan's chieftain seems to be really looking forward to seeing the chieftains of other clans tear each other apart.
Jiang Yuan saw through his intentions at a glance.
"I suppose the clan leader is watching the spectacle to collect heads and pick up the scraps?!"
"Acting recklessly and without strategy will inevitably lead to bad results. How can you possibly gain territory by relying solely on brute force against so many clan leaders? Finding the right opportunity to curry favor with Venerable Hongtian is the only sensible approach!"
The Night Demons are known for their treacherous, cunning, and despicable behavior.
In Jiang Yuan's view, this was nothing out of the ordinary.
The energy waves from both the ancient demon god and the holy lord were extremely powerful, spreading outwards from the center like a storm.
At this moment, the ancient demon god's eyes seemed to flash with the ambition to control everything. As long as he obtained a large amount of ruling power over the imperial star, he could spread destruction and oppression, causing its people to suffer.
The Holy Lord is the same.
The clash of their ideas and ambitions was like a thunderbolt, with smoke and fire filling the air.
The entire temple was filled with divine power.
"These two are evenly matched in strength, but I didn't expect them to start fighting before Venerable Hongtian could even speak. It seems that their previous conflict was quite deep."
No sooner had Jiang Yuan finished speaking than a wail of agony filled the air.
The ancient demon god and the holy lord were suddenly pulled apart by an unknown force and struggled uncontrollably in the air.
Hongtian Venerable raised his hands high, surrounded by black energy, as if he were remotely strangling both of them.
Even more terrifying was that Venerable Hongtian remained expressionless, and the powerful auras unleashed by the Ancient Demon God and the Holy Lord vanished instantly, as if their power had been suppressed.
After several dozen seconds, Venerable Hongtian swung his hands down, and the Ancient Demon God and the Holy Lord were slammed heavily to the ground. It was clear that they were enduring unimaginable weight, and a mouthful of blood flowed down from the corner of their mouths.
At the same time, obvious burn marks appeared on his neck.
Jiang Yuan and Gu Anlei were dumbfounded.
"Even an immortal true god, weathered by the erosion of time, is unable to unleash his divine power to resist this force at this moment. Just how powerful is the divine power of this Venerable Hongtian?!"
Jiang Yuan said in alarm.
Then a drop of sweat slid down his cheek.
Gu Anlei's gaze was fixed on the bead of sweat, watching it slide down Jiang Yuan's forehead.
She had thought that as things progressed, seeing Venerable Hongtian display his divine power would make Jiang Yuan choose to back down.
Jiang Yuan's gaze shifted from a dazed look to a resolute one.
"Could it be that you..."
"You don't really think I want to run away, do you?! Ever since I arrived here, I've sensed something within me. Perhaps it was destiny that I was able to come here."
After saying this, Jiang Yuan approached the gathering place step by step.
Within the temple, countless sources of light continuously emanated, and numerous dazzling rays of light descended. The gods and clan leaders knelt down one after another, as if they were performing some kind of worship.
As everyone knelt down, Jiang Yuan's figure gradually became the most eye-catching person in the entire dojo.
Venerable Hongtian's gaze instantly turned to Jiang Yuan.
Gu Anlei was pulled behind Jiang Yuan.
"You go out first. I will handle things here. I am about to face an unprecedented challenge, which concerns the survival of the entire human race and the Imperial Star. I think I must intervene."
Jiang Yuan then pushed Gu Anlei toward the entrance.
"Jiang Yuan of the human race? I've long admired your name. Do you humans also want a share of the spoils? Let me give you some advice: if the human race also wants to compete, then you will ruin your reputation in your later years. You have seen the greed of these races. Do you think the human race can escape this calamity?!"
Venerable Hongtian approached Jiang Yuan step by step, and the intimidating aura emanating from him directly repelled the kneeling clan leaders.
Jiang Yuan also sensed this power, and stepped back with one leg, remaining standing.
Venerable Hongtian had already walked up to Jiang Yuan.
Even so, it was difficult to shake Jiang Yuan's body, as he stood beneath his massive form.
"I, Jiang Yuan, am no saint or god. I am merely a warrior who protects the human race. Don't boast to these clan leaders. I just want to say that if you weren't aiming to divide up the Imperial Star, I probably wouldn't be here."
Jiang Yuan remained calm in the face of danger, which was typical of him, but his actions were not reckless.
“This is what makes you different from these clan leaders. The only one who can speak to me like this is none other than you, a true god.”
"The disappearance of the sea race and the vampire race not long ago—no, it was you who caused their disappearance by your own power. Otherwise, you would be kneeling here now, worshipping the immortal gods of these two races."
"You must have witnessed my strength. Withdrawing from this competition would be the greatest help to your race. If you were to die here, I doubt anyone would protect the human race! Kneeling and begging for mercy might be a good solution. If you submit to me, I will surely offer you the power of the gods!"
Venerable Hongtian's words seemed to be an explanation of Jiang Yuan from a moral high ground. His words conveyed that Jiang Yuan did not need to get involved in this mess, and were a form of contempt for him and the strength of the human race.
"Since you've heard about my exploits, you should know that I'm not going to listen to your clichés."
Jiang Yuan didn't want to waste any more words. At this point, he had no way out and had to interrupt the plan to divide up the Imperial Star.
"I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible. Everyone knows the capabilities of the human race. Even if you manage to get a share of resources, they will inevitably be plundered by us. Of course, if you withdraw, it seems that war among humans is unavoidable."
"Yes, if you don't want to see the destruction of humanity, perhaps we can help you by going to hell first!"
The ancient demon god and the holy lord went from being enemies to working in harmony, a scene that made Jiang Yuan want to laugh.
"I'm not good at being a lackey, but I'm very good at beating people!"
Hongtian Venerable's expression changed drastically. Black and red blood vessels appeared on his ferocious face, and flames appeared on his body.
"You won't listen to reason, so get on the fight!"
At Venerable Hongtian's command, powerful figures from all races rushed toward Jiang Yuan, and the entire Daoist temple was abuzz with excitement.
This was the most united effort ever made by the other races.
The war has reached a balance among thousands of races. The only way for the strongest to further strengthen their race is to become gods, not to engage in pointless infighting.
What they didn't know was that the human race was no longer the same. The human race was still the dominant race on the battlefield of the fallen gods, and daring to challenge the gods was the first step towards becoming a powerful race.
The seeds of fearlessness have been sown in generations, and Jiang Yuan will surely carry on this spirit of fearlessness and rise up to resist this final invasion.
We will spare no effort to protect humanity!
