"We thought they also needed a representative at this meeting to express their support for the divine realm. So, Wang Xian, you are the representative of the immortal realm, not the Heavenly Court. Please note this difference in how we address you," the Sun-Shooting God explained calmly.
"But... what qualifications do I have to represent the Immortal Realm? Are you just using me here as a figurehead because of my immortal status?" The words of the Sun-Shooting God had no effect on Wang Yao. He glared at him, his resentment growing even stronger.
Why? It seems that the words of the Sun-Shooting God Lord implied that he was representing for the sake of representing. He made the excuse that there was a group of immortals in the celestial realm who sympathized with the divine realm, and that these immortals needed a representative, so he asked Wang Yao to represent them.
This makes even less sense! If it weren't for the need to pass the Trial of Gods and Demons smoothly, I might not even sympathize with your God Realm, let alone the other immortals. If the other immortals sympathize with the God Realm, why don't they come and represent it themselves? Why send Wang Yao to be a puppet?
Ever since encountering the spirit body, Wang Yao has absolutely hated puppets! His agreement with the God Realm was purely an exchange of interests, but it never included the clause that he would have to sell his own reputation for the benefit of the God Realm. Can the God Realm afford to pay that price?
What kind of representative is he? This is blatant blackmail and kidnapping! If word gets out, those immortals in the celestial realm will laugh at him to death!
"Wang Xian is the popular choice, so there's no need to refuse anymore." Upon hearing Wang Yao's words, the Sun-Shooting God Lord frowned.
"Don't even mention popular support, I have no popular support at all. Whoever has popular support should be the representative. I won't be one! I'll take my leave now!" Wang Yao was so angry at the increasingly absurd words of the Sun-Shooting God that he jumped up and was about to leave the Sun-Shooting God Tower.
"I'll wait for you at the foot of the tower. I have something to tell you after your meeting," he said, turning to Hui Shuo.
"Um... Immortal Wang, please wait..." Hui Shuo looked blankly at Wang Yao, who hadn't yet responded, but the Sun-Shooting God Lord had already hesitantly spoken. Wang Yao saw him turn his head and look at the Sea-Reclaiming God Lord with a puzzled expression. The Sea-Reclaiming God Lord shrugged at the Sun-Shooting God Lord, with an expression that seemed to say it had nothing to do with him.
"Um... Wang Xian, don't you know about the joint letter?" The Sun-Shooting God Lord turned around and asked Wang Yao.
"What joint letter? I was treated as a spy from the Demon Realm by your subordinates as soon as I arrived in the God Realm. I've never heard of any joint letter." Wang Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to deny it.
“Since you don’t know, it’s not your fault. It’s like this…” The expression on the face of the Sun-Shooting God Lord relaxed, and a piece of paper appeared in his hand. “Jingwei received a letter when she was filling the sea city. The messenger sacrificed himself while defending the city, and we don’t know who gave her the letter.”
The God of Shooting the Sun held the letter and looked at Wang Yao meaningfully.
"The letter expressed great indignation at the joint attack on Jingwei by the demons and the foreign gods. They claimed to be a group of immortals who were devoted to the gods, upheld justice, and loved peace. They were very dissatisfied with the perverse actions of the demons and the demon race in their rebellion and collusion with the foreign gods."
"They hope to provide assistance to the divine realm and help Jingwei eliminate the demon rebels and foreign gods entrenched in the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm. However, for the sake of organization and coordination, they are only willing to participate in the counterattack against the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm under your leadership, that is, Wang Xian."
"To prove they were right, the letter listed a dozen or so immortals, saying that if we didn't believe it, we could ask any one of them for verification."
"They are certain that as long as they receive a summons from Wang Xian, each of them can gather at least dozens of immortals to aid the divine realm." As the Sun-Shooting God Lord spoke, the letter in his hand slowly floated up and was gently delivered to Wang Yao from the air.
Wang Yao stared in disbelief as he received the letter. He immediately understood what was going on. Putting everything else aside, Wei Zheng was among the dozen or so immortals who signed the letter at the end. Wang Yao immediately guessed that this could only be the work of the "Immortal Mouth Group".
"Hasn't the 'Xiankou Group' always been doing things in a sneaky way? What's going on? Are they trying to jump to the forefront and cause trouble, just like Hu Mei? If you want to fight, then fight. Why drag me into this?" Wang Yao held the letter, completely baffled.
"After receiving the letter, the Lord of Reclamation informed a few of us, hoping that we could assist in the defense of the Reclamation City and buy time for the immortals mentioned in the letter to provide support. In order to verify the authenticity of the letter, we... we spent some time specifically consulting several immortals mentioned in the letter."
"This also prevented us from arriving at the Sea Reclamation City in time. Of course, the immortals' reply was consistent with the contents of the letter, which is why we invited you to participate in this meeting as a representative of the immortal realm. I believe that several of our divine lords have expressed the same sentiment to you."
"I didn't expect you to know nothing about this letter. If you still have any questions about this matter, you can go back and ask the immortal mentioned in the letter for clarification. Now, please do not disrupt the meeting. Let's move on to the next topic."
With a wave of his hand, the letter in Wang Yao's hand flew back to him.
Wang Yao was quite surprised to hear this. The five god lords, including Shooting the Sun, Unyielding, and the others, had indeed urged him to come to the God Realm to discuss matters, but none of them had mentioned this letter. He had been wondering at the time, thinking that the five god lords were about to do something important.
Could it be because the soul contract disappeared, preventing the Lord of Reclamation from contacting me? And the other Lords assumed that the Lord of Reclamation must have told me about the letter, leading to a discrepancy in information during their communication? No wonder I felt something was amiss after speaking with them.
"Um... Lord of the Sea Reclamation God, may I ask where your subordinate Bai Ling is now?" Wang Yao asked the Lord of the Sea Reclamation God with a frown.
