"I'm here to declare war!"
Ye Tianze hesitated for a moment before speaking formally.
If the civilizations of the outside world heard this, they would probably laugh their heads off. Who did Ye Tianze think he was? Even if news of his great defeat spread, they would still find it laughable.
This was like an ant challenging an eagle in the sky. In the eyes of the eagle, there was no such thing as an ant, as the ant wasn't worthy of being the eagle's prey!
However, Ye Tianze had indeed come to declare war, even though this seemed a little arrogant. Even he himself felt that this was arrogant.
The Mysterious Underworld Race was so big that it couldn't be compared to the Desolate Land. The current Desolate Race was at most an intermediate civilization.
Wasn't it a fool's dream for an intermediate civilization to vainly attempt to challenge an overlord civilization?
"I can't accept your challenge," the Mysterious Underworld Lord said. "This is because you don't have the right to challenge the Mysterious Underworld Race. This is the rule of the universe."
Ye Tianze was stunned for a moment. However, he understood what the Mysterious Underworld Lord meant. "Are you saying that I have to become an advanced civilization to be able to challenge you?"
"That's right."
The Mysterious Underworld Lord's tone was calm. This calmness made Ye Tianze feel the disregard of an overlord. "I'm only speaking to you because of your status."
The best way to despise someone was to ignore them.
In the Mysterious Underworld Lord's position, he simply didn't need to converse with Ye Tianze. Or rather, Ye Tianze simply didn't have the right to converse with him.
What right did an ant have to converse with an eagle? What right did a beggar have to converse with an emperor deep in the palace?
What right did an ordinary cultivator have to converse with the Nirvana Shore Master? This was the distance between Ye Tianze and the Mysterious Underworld Lord.
It was so big that the other party simply couldn't tolerate his existence. However, because of Ye Tianze's status, the Mysterious Underworld Lord had agreed to meet him.
His scheme had never succeeded. The array formation he had set up in Masakazu Tōno's eyes had been discovered by the Mysterious Underworld powerhouses a long time ago.
The only reason it hadn't been destroyed was because the Mysterious Underworld Race was considering whether or not they should meet Ye Tianze. After all, Masakazu Tōno had been able to tell that Ye Tianze was the Mysterious Underworld Being.
They already knew most of the details of the battle and also knew Ye Tianze's strength. Originally, the Mysterious Underworld Master did not need to participate in this matter.
However, when it came to the Martial Path Heavenly Hall, it was presented to the Mysterious Underworld Master, and the Mysterious Underworld Master chose to meet with Ye Tianze.
Ye Tianze was very familiar with this feeling of being ignored because he had experienced it before.
"So, you came to see me just to find out my identity?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Not bad."
The Mysterious Underworld Being said, "The Mysterious Underworld Race will not underestimate its enemies. This time, besides the allied forces of the various advanced civilizations of the myriad realms, the Mysterious Underworld Race will also send one million elites to join the allied forces. This is considered a form of respect for defeating the previous one million elites!"
The attention of an overlord was something to be proud of in the civilizations of the myriad realms. However, it was also a matter of despair.
It was only now that Ye Tianze felt the pressure of the Mysterious Underworld Race.
When one was ignored, one would feel humiliated. However, when one was noticed, one would feel despair. This was because all civilizations knew that if they attracted the attention of an overlord civilization, they would either have to kneel down and be a dog or be destroyed.
Some civilizations did not even have the right to be a dog and could only be destroyed.
The Mysterious Underworld Master's words seemed very calm, but they contained the heavenly might of an overlord civilization. This time, they would be wiped out.
Ye Tianze fell silent. It would be easy for the Desolate Race to defeat the Mysterious Underworld Race, but it would be difficult for them to destroy the Mysterious Underworld Race. There was still a chance, but it would take time. This time might take 10,000 years.
Yes, it would take at least 10,000 years of accumulation. However, it could also take 100,000 years, 1,000,000 years, or even an epoch!
Defeating the Mysterious Underworld Race once or twice was useless. Given the Mysterious Underworld Race's massive foundation, they could recover in a very short time.
The most frightening thing was that the Desolate Race wouldn't be able to withstand a battle of attrition with the power of an overlord civilization, even with the Martial Path Heavenly Hall.
Ye Tianze understood a principle very early on. War was a battle of resources. These resources didn't just include the number of powerhouses in one's race, the growth rate of the powerhouses in one's race, and the reproduction rate of the race.
The Desolate Race could take 100 years, 1,000 years, or even 10,000 years. However, what about 20,000 years?
The Mysterious Underworld Race could afford it. It was even possible that the Mysterious Underworld Race didn't even need to dispatch their elites to exhaust the Desolate Race.
In the end, the Desolate Race's reproduction rate would be exhausted. Simply put, the Desolate Race wouldn't have any advantage over the Mysterious Underworld Race. They wouldn't even have the slightest advantage.
In the end, the Mysterious Underworld Race wouldn't need to go all out. They only needed to use the power of their little finger to exhaust the Desolate Race so that their reproduction rate wouldn't be able to keep up with the rate of attrition.
No matter how many times the Mysterious Underworld Race lost to the Desolate Race, no matter how many times the Desolate Race won or how many times they annihilated them, the outcome wouldn't change.
This was a true strategy. Using strategy to seal the Desolate Race's fate was telling them that no matter how many times they struggled and how many times they won, they would still suffer a crushing defeat strategically.
The large hall fell into a long silence. Ye Tianze felt a little depressed. The Mysterious Underworld Master hadn't said anything. Before this conversation, the Mysterious Underworld Race had already made countless predictions.
They even knew what Ye Tianze's expression would be. What reason did Ye Tianze not feel despair when facing an overlord civilization that was the strongest overlord of the myriad realms?
The reason an ant would ignore the existence of an eagle was because it was ignorant!
When the ant knew that a gust of wind from the eagle could destroy its home, it would truly feel despair.
The Mysterious Underworld Master had even predicted Ye Tianze's reaction. Silence! Silence! Despair! Silence!
Of course, there was another reaction, which was to put down all dignity and beg for mercy. Although the Mysterious Underworld Race wouldn't show mercy, even if it was just a thought, the Mysterious Underworld Race wouldn't.
However, this time, the Mysterious Underworld Race's predictions were wrong.
"The one who is truly ignorant isn't me!" Ye Tianze replied calmly. "It's you all."
The Mysterious Underworld Master glanced at "Masakazu Tōno" in shock. However, this shock only lasted for a moment.
This was beyond their expectations. There was no fear in Ye Tianze's eyes, let alone despair.
"Don't you understand?" the Mysterious Underworld Master said. "You don't have a chance."
"I understand what you mean."
Ye Tianze replied calmly. "It's precisely because I understand that I am here to declare war. You treat us like ants because you are ignorant. On the battlefield, I will let you all understand who you are facing!"
"Oh," the Mysterious Underworld Master replied calmly. "I'll be waiting."
