“I… personally have no objections either. We can settle on this for now, and after I report back to the Empress and confirm, we can officially appoint him,” Tongxuan added.
His considerations were the same as Emperor Song's. The meeting had reached a stalemate over the issue of who would command the reinforcements, and Wang Yao was undoubtedly the key to resolving the problem.
"You make it sound so easy. I can't guarantee we'll win. Hu Mei has dozens of Mahayana cultivators on his side. What are we going to fight? Don't blame me if we lose!" Wang Yao shook his head repeatedly, firmly refusing.
"Although the opponent's Mahayana is a problem, our God Realm is not entirely without means of restraint. We will arrange for each God Realm to modify several sets of Ultimate Thunderbolts for you, so that you can use your soul power and demonic power to control them."
"While this ultimate thunderbolt may not necessarily kill a Mahayana practitioner, it will certainly make them wary and hesitant to act rashly. Moreover, if a Mahayana practitioner is indeed subjected to a concentrated attack from the ultimate thunderbolt, it is not impossible for them to be injured or even perish."
"Furthermore, we don't expect you to reclaim the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm. As long as you can get the reinforcements to gain a foothold in the Sealed Divine Realm and the Unyielding Divine Realm and reduce the pressure on the two divine realms as much as possible, we are confident that we can withstand this large-scale attack by the demons. In that case, your mission will be accomplished."
Seeing that everyone seemed to favor Wang Yao as the commander, the Sun-Shooting God Lord had a slight thought and went along with it, joining the group trying to persuade Wang Yao.
"Fengshen and I will also spare some of our strength to assist you. Your goal is to hold on and fight a protracted war against the demons so that we don't collapse quickly. As reinforcements from both the demon and underworld realms continue to arrive, the power of the two will gradually diminish, and the threat we face will disappear on its own."
The Unyielding God took over the words of the Sun-Shooting God and spoke slowly.
"As long as you, Wang Xian, lead the otherworldly reinforcements to protect the flanks of the Fengshen and Buqu domains, the God Realm will absolutely fulfill its promise to you! In short, no matter the outcome, it will not affect the friendly relationship between you, Wang Xian, and our God Realm." The Sun-Shooting God then said meaningfully to Wang Yao.
After listening to the words of the two gods, Wang Yao blinked and his heart began to waver. He understood what the Sun-Shooting God meant, and he knew that if he advanced one more level, the trial mission for the Void Refinement Realm would be to kill a god.
He was worried about how to ask the gods for help when the time came, but the words of the Sun-Shooting God dispelled Wang Yao's concerns. Normally, Wang Yao should have reluctantly accepted the command and led the allied forces of the demon, underworld, and immortal realms to fight against Hu Mei.
However, Wang Yao still felt it was not quite right. In fact, let alone the Three Realms Alliance, even the Demon and Underworld Alliance would have countless troubles. He had no clue what to do. After all, things happened too suddenly, and he hadn't even had time to prepare himself mentally. He just felt that this mission was too unreliable.
The room fell silent again. Wang Yao racked his brains, trying to find a way to satisfy both the gods and himself, so that the divine realm could keep its promise and he wouldn't have to bear such a heavy responsibility.
He was still deep in thought when, unexpectedly, the divine general on the screen behind the Sun-Shooting God suddenly cried out in alarm.
"Report...Reporting to the Divine Lord, just now the Tongtian Demon Realm suddenly launched an attack on our Divine Realm. The offensive is extremely fierce. Jingnan City has been captured by the demons. Our army is organizing defenses around Thirty Miles as planned. This...this humble general must rush to the front line to command immediately."
"What?!" The Sun-Shooting God's eyes widened suddenly, and he abruptly stood up from his seat. "Those demon bastards arrived so quickly!"
Before the Sun-Shooting God Lord had finished speaking, the other four God Lords—Daze, Zhantian, Buqu, and Fengshen—also received reports from their subordinates that the Demon Clan had launched an attack, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became extremely tense.
"How is Bird Return Ridge? Have the enemies from the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm launched an attack on us?" the Unyielding God Lord asked urgently.
“Bird…Bird Returns to Ridge? There seems to be no news from Bird Returns to Ridge yet. I…I’ll ask around. And…um…I…I have to go to the front lines too.” Zhong Kui on the screen behind him stammered in response.
"Go quickly, I will also rush to the front line later. Report back on the situation at Bird Return Ridge as soon as possible," said the Unyielding God.
"Yes!" Zhong Kui replied, and his figure immediately disappeared from the screen. On the other side, Yue Fei and other divine generals also bid farewell to their respective divine masters. Wang Yao heard the Investiture of the Gods divine master inquiring about the situation in Qingyu Port, but like Bird Return Ridge, there was still no news from there for the time being.
"That's settled then. Now that the demon cubs have made their move, the enemy forces in the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm will likely follow suit soon. Wang Xian, you should quickly organize the Three Realms Allied Forces. Before reinforcements arrive, Fengshen and Buqu, you two must try your best to hold on."
As he spoke, the Lord of Shooting the Sun turned around and bowed deeply to Wang Yao, Tong Xuan, and Emperor Song.
"Fighting on two fronts, the Investiture of Gods and the Unyielding, is not going to last long. This battle is related to the survival of our God Realm and is of utmost importance. I implore all the Immortals, please help the God Realm overcome this calamity."
Seeing the situation before him, Wang Yao didn't know what else to say. He could only hastily return the salute to the Sun-Shooting God Lord, muttering some meaningless words of encouragement like "Keep it up" and "I believe in you," and watch as the gods hurriedly left one after another.
Before leaving, the Unyielding God and the God of Conferment gave Wang Yao, Emperor Song, and Tongxuan a series of instructions, hoping that their reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.
In a short while, only a handful of people remained in the room, including the Lord of Reclaiming the Sea, Wang Yao, Emperor Song, Tongxuan, Huishuo, Wuying, Qin Su, and the warrior of the Yi clan.
