Apart from the Lord of Sea Reclamation, most of the gods in the divine realm felt that Tongxuan and Emperor Song's opinions made sense, but they couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became more and more awkward.
"Your Excellency, I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure if I should say it?"
On the screen behind the War God, Yue Fei was anxious to return to the front line. Seeing everyone in the room staring at each other without saying a word, and time dragging on, he became impatient and suddenly had a brilliant idea. He hurriedly asked his god for his opinion in a low voice.
“Just say what you have to say. What’s this about whether it should be said or not? If what you say makes sense, everyone will listen to you. If it doesn’t, just treat it like a fart and let it go. What else can we do?” The War God Lord opened his navel and said in a deep voice.
Given Yue Fei's status, it would be somewhat presumptuous of him to speak without permission at such a meeting, especially since what he was about to say could easily offend those present. That's why he asked a question first.
But once the God of War spoke, it was as if he had endorsed everything Yue Fei was about to say. Yue Fei no longer had any worries and immediately told everyone in the room what he was thinking.
"In my humble opinion, there is a suitable candidate among us to lead the reinforcements from all sides. He is none other than Immortal Wang Yao," Yue Fei said solemnly.
“How can he… how can he be competent? He… hasn’t even reached the Void Refining Realm yet. His cultivation level is insufficient. How can he convince the masses?” Before anyone else could speak, the Sea Filling God Lord was the first to jump up.
"Wang Xian's cultivation level is not high enough, but isn't there still Your Excellency, the Divine Lord? If Wang Xian cannot deal with those who disobey him, Your Excellency will suppress them. Moreover, when I first met Wang Xian, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Only a few years have passed, and he has already advanced to the Divine Transformation stage!"
“I believe that anyone who knows Wang Xian would not underestimate him,” Yue Fei said loudly.
"This..." Upon hearing Yue Fei's words, the various deities, Emperor Song, and the Great Immortal Tongxuan all found it rather unbelievable at first. However, they all frowned and pondered for a long time, trying to find a reason why Wang Yao was not suitable for the position of commander. But no matter how hard they thought about it, they could not find one.
If we're talking about Wang Yao's shortcomings, there are certainly quite a few. Besides the fact that the Lord of Filling the Sea mentioned earlier that his cultivation level wasn't high enough, there's also the issue of insufficient experience. He's never led a large army in battle before. But... although he's never led troops, he has fought in wars!
Whether it was the siege of Gale Fortress or the massive battle at Thousand Sails Harbor, both were large-scale battles. Moreover, Wang Yao had personally experienced the tribulation battle in the Underworld and many internal and external wars in the Demon Realm. It is obviously unreasonable to say that he had no experience.
Moreover, their main opponents in this counterattack are the demon rebels and the foreign gods. In terms of familiarity with them, probably none of you here can compare with Wang Yao. In addition, Wang Yao is also very familiar with the demon realm and the underworld. Putting everything else aside, Wang Yao has the advantage of knowing himself and his enemy.
"Gentlemen, I can't do this job. You'd better find someone else!" While everyone was still deliberating, Wang Yao had already shouted. He never expected that he would be put on the hot seat by inexplicably attending this ridiculous meeting.
Why? This is clearly a thankless task. Leading a bunch of demons and ghosts into battle is incredibly troublesome. Moreover, he is only at the Nascent Soul stage, while the commander of the reinforcements from the demon and ghost realms must be at least at the Void Refinement stage.
Let alone turning against him, as long as these guys unleash their high-level aura, he might not even be able to speak properly, so how can he command them?
Moreover, in such a major battle, staying in the background and taking it easy is undoubtedly the best choice. If you win, you'll get a share of the credit, and if you lose, you can shirk all responsibility. But it's different for the commander-in-chief. If you win, it's because the big shots have good judgment and chose him.
If he loses, it will be because Wang Yao is incompetent! At that time, not only will all the goodwill he has painstakingly built with the demon and underworld realms be gone, but the gods of the divine realm will also vent their anger on him. Isn't he just asking for trouble by doing this?
"Wang Xian, don't worry. As long as the Lord of the Sea Reclamation God protects you, no one will dare to underestimate your authority. Moreover, you helped the Underworld withstand the great calamity of corpse energy. The Underworld will not distrust anyone but you, Wang Xian, and will certainly not disobey your command."
"You also have deep friendships with many races in the demon realm. In the divine realm, they would find it difficult to find anyone they trust and obey besides you. In particular, the immortals in the immortal realm are also willing to follow your orders. Think about it, who else is qualified to lead the reinforcements of the three realms besides you?"
Seeing that Wang Yao was having second thoughts, Yue Fei hurriedly tried to persuade him.
As soon as Yue Fei uttered these words, before Wang Yao could speak, both the demon and the underworld sides suddenly understood.
What they were worried about was that their army would be used indiscriminately in the realm of gods, becoming worthless cannon fodder. But based on their previous understanding of Wang Yao, they all knew that Wang Yao would never do such a thing.
First, Emperor Song nodded repeatedly. He had crossed the Three Passes Center with Wang Yao and knew Wang Yao quite well. He knew that Wang Yao not only had no bad intentions, but also had a rather inexplicable sense of justice and was very considerate to the ghosts.
To be honest, in his opinion, he would feel more at ease having Wang Yao as the commander-in-chief than having the Five Statue King and the Equal King, who are also among the Ten Kings of Hell, in the position.
"Wang Xian, do not refuse. Although I still need to discuss with my colleagues the matter of you leading the Netherworld reinforcements, I personally agree with it wholeheartedly," Emperor Song immediately called out to Wang Yao.
