It wasn't hard to tell from Gu Li's tone that he suspected Qing Lan and Pilar were one of them.
Generally speaking, they'd heard news of the God Race's invasion from the two of them. However, Qing Lan and Cang Xiong's information was limited to the God Race's division of power. As for the actual invasion ….
Ye Zichen looked at Gu Li. From his expression, it wasn't hard to tell that he suspected Pilar, who'd once been a demon king.
After the God Race returned and Su Yan did her best to heal him, Ye Zichen was out of danger. Then, he called Pilar and the others over to discuss countermeasures.
During this time, Pilar explicitly mentioned that the only condition for the God Race to attack was for the Era to transcend.
The Master of the Laws had set the rules. The God Race could ignore them and break the balance to attack the Era ahead of time.
However, not long ago, Yale had angered the Master of the Laws.
In the short term, if the God Race ignored the Master of the Laws' rules and rashly attacked the Era, they'd be provoking the Master of the Laws.
In order to protect the Master of the Laws' dignity, they couldn't let that happen. They'd use thunderous methods to suppress the God Race.
At the very least, in the near future …..
In fear of the Master of the Laws' wrath, they didn't dare provoke them further.
Because of this, and because of their trust in Pilar, the Era had been relatively safe until they transcended. That was how they'd come up with a series of defense plans.
But now, only three short days had passed since they'd started their discussion.
They'd just gathered the great emperors, and now the God Race was attacking!
Were they really unafraid of the Master of the Laws? Were they really going to attack the Era?
At least, Gu Li didn't think that was likely. From what Ye Zichen and the others had told him, he could sense that the God Emperor respected the Master of the Laws.
No matter what his subordinates did, so long as he was present, he absolutely wouldn't let them offend him again.
There was only one possibility for the God Race's attack: they hadn't broken the rules!
Neither Ye Zichen nor Gu Li had transcended, and the Outsiders hadn't broken the rules of the game. Didn't that mean Pilar was lying?
He wasn't lying. Could someone else have transcended?
Gu Li's chest heaved violently. His expression was unfriendly, especially his eyes. Even when he smiled, they didn't seem like the slightest bit of sunshine. Instead, they seemed somewhat sinister.
At this moment, his gaze was even more gloomy, and his expression was so gloomy that it seemed as if it could drip water.
Everyone present understood the situation. Whether it was the Great Emperor or Gu Li's gaze on Pilar, they all knew exactly who he was talking about.
Pilar was too lazy to pretend to be ignorant, so he directly brought this hidden target to the surface.
"Are you suspecting me?" "Why not?" Gu Li didn't try to hide anything. "You told me and Ye Zichen yourself that the only condition for the God Race's invasion was for the Era to transcend. In the third era, the heavens chose two emperors, and only the two of us received the blessings of the Emperor Star. I haven't transcended, and neither has Ye Zichen.
Could there be a third person? "
"I can't be bothered to argue with you. Ye Zichen, you have to trust me!"
Pilar didn't directly respond to Gu Li's question. Instead, he looked at the frowning Ye Zichen. "Whether or not I lied to you, or whether or not I had any reason to lie to you, I'm sure you know the answer."
All the Great Emperors were paying close attention. They were just outsiders to this matter.
They wouldn't be swayed by a few words from Gu Li. Besides, they didn't know much about him. The only thing they knew about him was that he'd once served the demons.
Gu Li didn't have much of an advantage over Pilar, and they didn't trust him much.
The only one who could sway them was Ye Zichen!
Ye Zichen met Pilar's gaze, took a deep breath, then smiled at Gu Li.
"Now's not the time to worry about who's right and who's wrong!"
"You trust him?" Gu Li knit his brows.
Ye Zichen nodded. When he saw this, Gu Li's expression grew even more unsightly. Just as the veins on his arms bulged and he was about to open his mouth to question Ye Zichen, Ye Zichen cut him off.
"I know what you're thinking, but there are some things you don't understand. I'm sorry, I hid some things from you. Once we're done with our current problems, I'll tell you everything! "
With that, no matter what Gu Li did, Ye Zichen gestured for him to stop talking.
The other great emperors' expressions didn't look too good either, especially the Dragon God and the King of the East, who'd just joined the Upheaval Alliance. Ye Zichen's concealment made them feel like they were pawns.
Even in the Upper Three Realms, they were all famous figures.
Being treated as a chess piece on a chessboard was a feeling that he had not felt for tens of thousands of years.
"Everyone, it seems the situation is worse than we thought."
From his vantage point, Ye Zichen took in all the great emperors' expressions. Although the situation was dire, he couldn't help but smile.
"The Outerealm God Race is attacking at this moment. Although I've been caught off guard by their attack, it's not entirely a bad thing for us."
"I'm only saying that because you're all here!"
The great emperors' expressions trembled, and they stared intently at Ye Zichen.
"I refuse to believe the God Race will attack in full force this time. We haven't figured out how strong they are, so even if they do, they won't be able to gather enough information on us. This attack is, at most, the most shallow test. "
"That's right," said Yang Jian. "The monkey and I went to take a look just now. It seems they've only brought a few dozen soul-shattering beasts and a few hundred thousand deities."
Ye Zichen smiled and nodded. "That's just a probe. Since the God Race isn't attacking in full force, there's nothing to be afraid of. All the great emperors are here. Do you really think they can crush our era with so few people? "
"But if we all go out, doesn't that mean …."
"They don't know!" Ye Zichen saw right through the great emperors' thoughts. "They only know a little about us. In fact, they might not even know as much about us as we do about them." "They have no way of knowing that you're our era's strongest forces. Your appearance will only make them think we're just responding to a sudden attack. That's why I said this attack might not necessarily be a bad thing for us! His expression suddenly changed.
However, when they launched an attack, we just had to deal with it with such a powerful force. They will be afraid of us! "
