Three days later, the Cursed Bone Great World.
When news of the Holy Light and the Undead pantheon's great victory over the powerful pantheon alliance arrived, just as the "Space God Lord" and others had predicted, most of the remaining 43 pantheons were filled with unease.
They originally planned to wait for a higher price and were prepared for both possibilities.
One option is to wait until both sides are evenly matched and the battle is at a stalemate. Then they can become the key factor in determining the outcome, and they can play both sides, helping whoever offers the most benefits.
Secondly, if one side wins a Pyrrhic victory, they can seize the opportunity to gain more benefits, and the other side, eager to recover, is very likely to agree. Furthermore, if the victorious side is too weak, there is even a possibility they could replace the victor.
But now, the Holy Light and the Undead pantheon have won an overwhelming victory. Not only has their strength not weakened, but they have become even stronger after receiving those powerful pantheons.
This means that even if they surrender now, as the last batch and with relatively average strength, they will undoubtedly be difficult to be given important responsibilities and will most likely become the first batch of cannon fodder in the fight against the Abyss.
If they don't surrender, once the Holy Light and the Undead pantheon have finished their regrouping and come to attack... no, they don't even need to come; those pantheons that have surrendered can easily wipe them out.
Damn it, there couldn't be a worse outcome!
“Lord of Cursed Bones, you must take responsibility for this.”
Several deities, their expressions hostile, challenged the "Cursed Bone Deity" in the main seat:
“If you hadn’t insisted on making us wait and see and forcibly stopped us, we would have already pledged our allegiance to the great God Jiang Yan.”
"fart!"
Hearing these people use words like "insist" and "forcibly stop" to describe it, the "Cursed Bone God" flew into a rage:
"Puppet, phantom... You were beaten like stray dogs back then, and I kindly took you in. Now you've turned on me. Do you think I could stop you with your escape skills?"
"Tell me, when the 'Jungle' God and the others were persuading us to surrender, didn't you say to wait a little longer? Damn it, we all had bright futures ahead of us, and now you've ruined them all!"
"Ha, so you treat every word I say as gospel?"
The "Cursed Bone God" laughed in anger: "Then I'll tell you to attack the Holy Light Pantheon. Will you go or not?"
Click!
One of the gods' eyes lit up, and he quickly used a recording technique to capture the scene, excitedly saying:
"You see, I told you that Curse Bone was harboring evil intentions. He actually instigated us to attack the great God Lord Jiang Yan. I suggest we join forces to take him down. With this evidence, it would be a great achievement!"
"If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. Do you think you can fool Lord Jiang with such a little trick?" Looking at the restless gods, "Lord of Curses and Bones" couldn't help but sneer.
"Alright, everyone."
Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, a burly god-lord spoke up calmly: "As far as I know, God-lord Jiang Yan is fair in his dealings. Although we did not surrender immediately, we did not launch an attack, nor did we antagonize the Holy Light Undead God System. God-lord Jiang Yan will not deliberately target us."
"Beasts, is this true?!"
The group of gods immediately fell silent and all looked over.
"I was fortunate enough to be rescued by Lord Jiang in the abyss's interlayer and had a brief exchange with him. I trust my judgment," Lord of the Hundred Beasts affirmed.
"Yes, beasts are best at distinguishing between good and evil, so his judgment should be correct."
The gods breathed a slight sigh of relief and suggested, "So what do we do now? Should we just go directly to the Holy Realm to pay our respects to God Lord Jiang Yan?"
"That's the way to go, the sooner the better."
The "Lord of a Hundred Beasts" nodded, a hint of regret in his eyes.
He had secretly recruited many god lords, preparing to lead them to a decisive victory when Jiang Yan was locked in a fierce war with those powerful god systems, thus helping the Holy Light and the Undead god system win and making an unparalleled contribution!
Unfortunately, those powerful pantheons were too useless; they collapsed before he could even exert his power, and his plan to make a name for himself was thus aborted.
"Okay, then that's settled..."
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the gods were about to make a decision, a violent spatial fluctuation flashed by, and a god with a vast aura suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was none other than the "Space God Lord," who was the first to arrive, thanks to his advantage in the laws of space.
"Helenzor, what are you doing here? We have already decided to surrender to Lord Jiang Yan!"
The group of gods looked at the other party warily. This was a god whose strength was firmly among the top five, and one of them could fight at least three or four of them.
Upon hearing this, the "Space God Lord" frowned.
Damn it! This won't do!
If these people surrender voluntarily, then his mission will be impossible to complete, and he will be stripped of his divine position. No, he absolutely cannot let such a thing happen.
Thinking it over, his gaze swept back and forth across the gods with resentment, trying to find someone with a rebellious nature... Wait, what's that!
The "Space God Lord" suddenly lit up. He snatched a magical image from the hand of a God Lord, and after scanning it with his divine sense, he became excited.
"Well, they say they want to surrender, but behind your back they're plotting to attack the Holy Light pantheon."
The "Space God" pointed at the astonished "Curse Bone God" and declared righteously, "Today I will nip these conspiracies in the bud."
As he spoke, he unleashed his divine power and reached out to grab the other party.
"Wait, Helenzollr, that was clearly a joke, you..." The Cursed Bone God was shocked and hurriedly stepped back to explain.
"Stubborn fool, he still won't admit it!"
The Space God ignored him, and with a wave of his hand, he condensed his divine power into a deep black hole, instantly freezing the opponent in place, making it impossible for him to move.
"The Maw of Annihilation?! Helenzollr, I told you, I was prepared to surrender..."
A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Cursed Bone God, and mysterious runes flickered across his bones, resisting the suction force of the black hole.
"Shut up! You dare to resist? You clearly don't respect me. May all worlds crumble!"
"Space God Lord" quickly interrupted the other party, and at the same time clenched his right hand tightly.
In an instant, countless shattered miniature worlds descended from the void, crashing down on the opponent like falling meteorites.
"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death, Cursed Bone True Form!"
Seeing this, the "Cursed Bone God" roared angrily, and a huge bone claw covered with mysterious incantations rose from behind him, fiercely swinging towards the collapsing small world.
Bang bang bang!
After all, the difference in strength was too great. After the bone claw smashed hundreds of broken worlds in succession, the incantations on it became dim and were directly crushed by the next world that came crashing down.
Unable to dodge in time, the "Cursed Bone God" was immediately pressed down by hundreds of small worlds and rendered unable to move.
At this moment, the Space God Lord leisurely arrived in front of him and said calmly:
"Curse Bone, I'll ask you one last time: are you willing to surrender to the great God Jiang Yan and cleanse your sins?"
"Damn it, Helenzollr, I told you, I was already prepared to surrender..."
"good!"
The Space God interrupted loudly, turning to the gods and saying, "You all saw it, didn't you? The Cursed Bone God attempted to plot against the Holy Light Pantheon, but fortunately, the Space God, Helenzor, arrived in time. After a hard-fought battle, he finally moved the opponent and guided him onto the right path."
"Thank you, sir!"
Seeing this, the gods roughly understood the other party's intention and could only helplessly agree.
"That's right, that's exactly it."
The Space God nodded in satisfaction, grabbed the Cursed Bone God, and soared away.
"Is this also part of Lord Jiang's plan?" one of the lords couldn't help but sigh.
Before the words were finished, a whirlwind appeared, and a powerful-looking man in blue robes suddenly appeared.
He looked at the deity who had spoken and said coldly:
"To speak ill of the great Holy Lord behind his back—you have already committed suicide!"
"Huh?! Wait a minute!"
