In Emperor Zhao's eyes, retreating was a matter for the future.
Now that the star beast had not broken out of the seal, if the Heavenly Court were to retreat without a fight, it would inevitably be a joke.
Everything else aside.
Just the prestige that the Heavenly Court had established in the hearts of the ten thousand races would be affected.
Although such an influence was very weak and not qualified to shake the Heavenly Court's position.
But a thousand-mile dike could be destroyed by an ant's nest.
Any bit of wavering would accumulate.
One day, it would all erupt, and by then, it would be enough to shake the Heavenly Court's rule.
Therefore.
The Heavenly Court could not retreat.
Especially not without a fight.
Even if they wanted to retreat, they had to show the Heavenly Court's aura before they could retreat calmly.
Even if they were not a match for the star beast, they could not let others think that the Heavenly Court was weak and could not fight against the star beast.
"Emperor Zhong Yuan …" The Demon Emperor opened his mouth and met Emperor Zhao's indifferent eyes. His heart could not help but tremble, and in the end, he did not finish his sentence.
Being the Five Emperors did not mean that they were on equal footing.
Seriously speaking.
The Imperial Emperors of the Five Directions were also divided into several ranks.
As Emperor Zhong Yuan, Emperor Zhao was naturally the leader of the Five Emperors and ranked first.
The Dog Emperor and Si Hanhai's strength was second only to Emperor Zhao among the Five Emperors.
Among them.
The Dog Emperor was a veteran Emperor. Although Si Hanhai was a new Emperor, as the existence who established the Demon Race, his identity as the first Demon Emperor was not comparable to the other Emperors.
Therefore.
The two of them were ranked in the second echelon among the Five Emperors.
The remaining Demon Emperor and the Soul Protection Emperor were ranked last.
There was no choice.
Although the Demon Race was a top race, the Demon Emperor was still a transition from the Golden Roc Race, and there was still a gap between him and the Dog Emperor. As for the Soul Protection Emperor, it was needless to say.
If not for the fact that the Soul Protection Race was a race that joined the Human Race early, with the strength of the Soul Protection Emperor, he would not be qualified to sit in the position of the Five Emperors.
But after so many years.
After the Soul Protection Emperor received the blessing of the Five Emperors, his strength gradually caught up.
Although he was still at the bottom of the Imperial Emperors of the Five Directions, he wasn't any weaker than the other Immortal Gods.
To put it bluntly.
The five Imperial Emperors seemed to be of equal status, but when it came to making decisions, there was still only one person in charge.
Now, Emperor Zhao had decided to start a war with the star beasts.
No matter how unwilling the Demon Emperor was, he had no way to refuse.
This was because the other party was not simply Emperor Zhongyuan. He was also the Human Emperor of the Human Race.
Given the current power of the human race in the Heavenly Court, a mere Southern Flame Emperor couldn't contend with them at all.
"Since no one has any objections, then let's get ready for battle."
Emperor Zhao retracted his gaze, then looked at the other Immortals and announced his decision.
Even the Demon Emperors cowered.
There was no need to even mention the other immortals and gods.
No one was willing to fall out with the human race over such a trivial matter.
After all, the human race was truly powerful now. It was not something that the other immortals and gods were qualified to contend against.
If he angered the human race …
Even if nothing happened on the surface, he wouldn't have it easy in the dark.
Therefore …
After Emperor Zhao gave the order, the other Immortals and Deities all left to gather their armies and prepare for war.
Within the palace of the Southern Flame Monarch.
The Demon Emperor sat there with a gloomy expression. In front of him was the Earthly Emperor, one of the four wargods.
"Emperor, you don't seem to be in a good mood."
The Earthly Emperor smiled slightly. He casually finished brewing some spirit tea and poured a cup for the Demon Emperor.
Drinking tea!
He didn't have this hobby in the past.
It was just that after meeting Qin Shujian more and more, and seeing that he had this hobby, he gradually became interested in it.
He picked up the spirit tea in front of him.
The Earthly Emperor took a sip and praised, "Drinking tea is indeed a good thing. No wonder the Emperor Of Heaven likes it so much. Sometimes sitting down and tasting it can relax a lot.
Emperor, why don't you try it too? Maybe you'll be in a better mood. "
After saying that …
The Earthly Emperor revealed a meaningful smile.
The Demon Emperor's expression was still gloomy. "Don't beat around the bush. You and I both know very well why you came to my Southern Flame Emperor Palace today.
If you're sincere, then let's talk openly.
If you're not, then scram. Don't talk nonsense. "
He didn't intend to play Tai Chi with the Earthly Emperor.
The Southern Flame Monarch was in a bad mood after what had happened today.
If it was in the past …
He might even deal with the Earthly Emperor.
But today, forget it.
Hearing the Demon Emperor's rude words, the Earthly Emperor didn't get angry, but the smile on his face faded a little.
He put down the teacup in his hand and sat with his back slightly straightened.
"Emperor should be clear about what happened today. The Human Race is powerful, and there are only so many Deity Positions in the Heavenly Court. But the Human Race can monopolize five Deity Positions. This is no ordinary matter."
The Earthly Emperor poured another cup of tea for himself as he spoke.
Then, he said seriously, "As one of the Five Imperial Emperors, the authority of your words is incomparable to that of the Zhongyuan Imperial Emperor.
In the future, if there are more Deity Positions in the Heavenly Court, I'm afraid they won't be able to compete with the Human Race.
If the Emperor Of Heaven wasn't a Human Race, at least he wouldn't sit and watch the Human Race dominate. But the Emperor Of Heaven was born in the Human Race. Even if he doesn't deliberately favor the Human Race, he won't suppress them.
As time passes, the Human Race will really have the final say in the Heavenly Court. "
"So what if it's a one-man rule? Don't tell me you have a way?"
The Demon Emperor sneered.
He was very clear about what the Earthly Emperor said.
But it was one thing to know, and it was another to be able to solve it.
Just by relying on his mouth, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
At the level of the Demon Emperor, many things couldn't be solved with just words. The specifics depended on the implementation.
The Earthly Emperor said calmly, "If the Human Race really wants to grow, the situation of the Myriad Races can be imagined. But with the existence of the Heavenly Court, it's impossible for us to openly attack the Human Race.
The only way now is for us to join forces.
As long as the other Immortals and Gods join forces, the Human Race will be suppressed no matter how powerful they are.
There will definitely be new Deity Positions in the future. We must join forces to ensure that those Deity Positions don't fall into the hands of the Human Race. "
"With just you?"
"Of course not, but I'm not the only one in the Heavenly Court who is dissatisfied with the Human Race. I just came forward to discuss with the Emperor.
If the Emperor really has this idea, I will naturally introduce you to the other Immortals and Gods.
After all, the alliance of some Immortals and Gods is still too weak. If the Emperor can join us, it will also be a great thing for us. "
After the Earthly Emperor finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Fighting against the Human Race.
It was never something that any race could do.
Only by joining forces with experts from all sides could they be qualified to fight against the Human Race.
