In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The Nether River was still sealed. The Ocean Sovereign had tried to enter the Nether River, but she was blocked outside. However, compared to the dazzling purple glow from before, the brilliance of the Netherworld River was slightly dimmer.
During this time, Ye Zichen and Xuan Ji busied themselves with setting up defenses at the River Styx.
Regardless of whether it was the information that the Fox Empress had revealed in the group chat or the information that had been sent out to gather intelligence, they all indicated that the Demon Race's Southern Nation and Western Region would definitely send their armies to the Netherworld River in the near future.
The great emperors on the Divine Mountain felt the same way. In the past few days, they had also sensed the demonic race's movements.
For a time, the atmosphere in the territory of the God Race was particularly tense.
"Ye 'zi, the decorations are almost done."
Clad in his silver armor, Yang Jian walked into the tent, which had recently been erected for the beasts, the Upheaval Alliance, the Profound Pavilion, and the Hermit Palace.
Just like when two armies fought in ancient times, Ye Zichen's tent was covered with a map he'd drawn with divine power. It depicted the geography of the River Styx and the surrounding yao territories in great detail.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Zichen indicated for Yang Jian to drink a cup of hot tea, then cracked his neck.
"Have you seen the Ferocious Beast commanders of the Nether River in the past few days?"
"They're back." Yang Jian nodded. "Not long ago, those Direbeast commanders returned to the River Styx. I asked them where they went, but they all kept their mouths shut and were very irritable. "
"Keep an eye on them. It's impossible to leave the Styx River without any problems."
"I know. The monkey is already watching them. I don't think they can do anything." Yang Jian snorted.
"How are the demons?"
"The Yao beasts of the Southern Empire and the Western Regions have already set up camp at the border. From the looks of it, they're probably waiting for some sort of signal," said Hu Bazi.
"They're probably waiting for the signal from the Demon Race."
Ye Zichen lowered his gaze and muttered. He'd already guessed most of what was going on.
"Remind our people not to slack off. In the near future, the Demon Race will definitely invade the banks of the Netherworld River."
With that, Ye Zichen gazed off into the distance and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Gu Li, it's you! I don't know what new tricks you're going to show me this time to make me flabbergasted. "
Demon Emperor Palace.
The Demon Emperor's palace was pitch-black and sinister, and several mighty demons sat within it. Strangely, however, the one sitting on the throne wasn't Kui Lin.
Kui Lin stood beneath the dais. His gaze wasn't sincere, but he didn't dare show the slightest bit of arrogance toward the person sitting on the throne.
"Have you contacted them?"
The person on the seat lowered his eyes and muttered. His tone was not indifferent at all. Instead, it was a little urgent.
His face, which could be considered handsome, was distorted by his expression. His eyes were filled with viciousness and his white teeth were clenched tightly.
He was Gu Li.
Everything was as Ye Zichen expected. In truth, he was the one behind this sudden attack.
"I've contacted them."
Kui Lin nodded. "As long as we give the order, the Divines, Yao, and Infernal Emperor Beasts will take action."
"Alright."
Gu Li nodded heavily, then laughed sinisterly.
"You've already made arrangements with the Fox Clan, right? Are the people I asked you to investigate currently in the Nine-tailed Fox Clan?"
"Su Yan and Xia Keke are currently with the Fox Clan. As for Li Jiayi and Lu Lu, we haven't found their exact locations yet," said the Demon Emperor.
"That's enough," said Gu Li, his expression fierce. "The two of them are more than enough."
Gu Li muttered to himself. No one knew why he'd done this.
After returning to the Yao Realm, he'd planned to attack ahead of schedule. At first, it was just a feint, but in the end, he'd given up on attacking the God Realm and was preparing to attack the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. He'd even gone out of his way to investigate Su Yan and the others.
Kui Lin had secretly investigated their identities and found out they were all Ye Zichen's lovers.
"Gu Li, what exactly are you planning? Is this going to help your transcendence plan in any way?"
Their entire alliance had come together for the sake of surviving the end of the era. Demon Emperor Kui Lin was willing to bow and scrape to Gu Li because he wanted to transcend.
However, whether it was Demon Emperor Kui Lin or the Alliance's senior executives, none of them could fathom his true intentions.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Gu Li narrowed his eyes. His words made Kui Lin's expression turn unsightly.
After all, he was a lofty Demon Emperor. He'd only bowed to Gu Li out of respect for the Emperor Star.
But judging from Gu Li's behavior these past few days, he seemed to think of himself as the head of the Great Alliance.
"Fine."
It took a long time for Kui Lin to quell his anger.
Their current situation was rather unique. He needed to rely on Gu Li, the Emperor Star, to transcend. Gu Li didn't care for Kui Lin's unfriendly expression at all. He simply gave his orders.
"Let's do it!"
The mighty Demon Clan army left the territory of the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan, which had already stationed troops at the border, also received the news of the Demon Clan.
"Everyone, attack!"
Countless families of the God Race's Divine Mountains launched a counterattack the moment they received the news.
It wasn't just the other eight outer Divine Mountains. It was the same for Heavenly God City.
For a time, the divine race was in chaos.
"Ye-zi, the demons are making their move."
Yang Jian suddenly walked in from outside the tent and shouted anxiously. Ye Zichen instantly stood up from his chair and roared angrily.
"All troops, on alert!"
The banks of the Styx River were filled with killing intent. Countless Rulers and Diviners stood proudly in the void, while Supreme-Beings held weapons in their hands.
Emperor Hades had yet to emerge from his secluded cultivation. The River Styx was their last line of defense.
An hour had passed, but the Demon Race had yet to set foot on the Netherworld River.
Ye Zichen and Xuan Ji couldn't help but furrow their brows. Given their speed and the position they'd set up, an hour was more than enough time to get here.
"Send someone to check out the situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Sage leapt into the void to scout ahead.
Before long, the Great Sage returned to Ye Zichen's side, his eyes brimming with surprise.
"The yao didn't head for the River Styx at all. They just left a few people at the border. Most of the yao are gone."
"Gone?"
