The commander-in-chief whipped his head around.
He looked like a judge of the underworld. His pitch-black eyes were cold and distant, and he sent chills down everyone's spines.
"You …."
"Even your subordinates have the right to decide whether they live or die. You're being too arbitrary."
The black-robed man chuckled slowly. The gods around the commander-in-chief instinctively retreated several dozen meters.
They knew ….
This black-robed young man who looked to be in his twenties was the supreme commander of this era, the Star Lord of this era's Emperor Star.
There was no way they didn't know each other.
Early on, they'd investigated the other planes. They'd made a system announcement about everyone at or above management level.
Especially the Era Rulers ….
Ye Zichen had visited the Outside when the previous emperor signed the treaty.
For a variety of reasons, every Outsider participating in the war probably knew of Ye Zichen's existence and what he looked like.
"Who told you to retreat? Get back here!"
When he saw the retreating gods, the commander-in-chief's eyes blazed with fury. He threw his head back and roared.
The gods were afraid of him ….
When they saw him, they couldn't help but subconsciously tighten their grips on their weapons, as if they wanted to retreat.
"Just follow your heart and it will be fine."
The commander-in-chief smiled at the cowardly gods, then waved them down.
Then he looked back at the commander-in-chief.
"In truth, you're quite interesting. Even in a situation like this, you still want your subordinates to charge into battle for you. But you, commander-in-chief …. You're sitting in the safest position, waiting for your soldiers to report victory. Do you think you're doing your job well? "
"That's none of your business," said the commander-in-chief with a frown.
"Fine, I spoke too much."
Ye Zichen turned around indifferently. He no longer wanted to waste words with the commander-in-chief.
Before long, he'd be escorted away.
In this battle outside the barrier, the Outer-Realm God Race had already lost.
The surrounding extraterritorial gods subconsciously made way for them.
Ye Zichen headed straight for the Era Rulers' camp. He naturally couldn't just enter the Outsiders' territory.
He'd only deal with the gods who'd come out to die.
The barrier was still there!
If he wanted to break it, he'd need the Divine Powered Cannons. As for Ye Zichen, he needed to conserve his strength.
He had to keep himself in peak condition …
Before fighting Yale, he couldn't afford to waste any more energy.
Just like that, the commander-in-chief was left behind.
He stared intently at Ye Zichen's back, as if he were a wild beast preparing to feast.
He looked in the direction of the Outer-Realm God Clan.
Bai Ning's reinforcements still showed no signs of coming.
After the death of their master, the soldiers' last line of defense was also shattered.
One by one, they threw down the weapons in their hands and were escorted by Ji Yuan.
The Essence Breaking Beasts were all kneeling on the ground. The other commanders were all like defeated soldiers waiting for Ji Yuan to take them away.
They all gave up.
No one did any unnecessary struggle.
They could do that.
But as the commander-in-chief, he could not.
Everything was planned by him, but he had to admit that it was the most brainless decision he had ever made.
As a result …
The gods of the outer realms were going to become the new era's captives.
As the commander-in-chief, he could not absolve himself from the blame for this defeat.
When he returned to the Outerealm God Race, Yale would definitely make him atone for his crimes with death.
Surrender without a fight …
Ji Yuan couldn't let him live either.
He would die no matter what!
The moment he decided to come out to face the enemy, his future was already set in stone.
Then …
Why would he surrender?
A cold glint shot out from his eyes, but it was retracted in an instant.
He had to make a decision …
Was he going to become a defeated general, accept Ji Yuan's judgment, and fight for the hope of survival that was almost impossible?
Or was he going to do one last thing for the Outerealm God Race …
Fail!
Die!
If he succeeded, his name would spread far and wide.
Even if the chances of success were miniscule.
He'd decided.
To him, this was his last chance.
Boom …..
The commander-in-chief's aura instantly rose to its peak.
Ye Zichen, who was walking in front, felt the wind blow against his clothes. A smile flashed across his face, but he didn't slow down at all.
"Star Lord Ji Yuan ….."
"You want to ambush us? What do you take us for?"
Boom …..
Scorching flames instantly enveloped the commander-in-chief, turning him into a blazing ball of fire.
Practically no one knew what had happened.
Whether it was the Outerealm gods or the Era experts, they were all busy escorting captives or waiting to be escorted.
When they came back to their senses, they saw a blazing ball of fire that looked like the sun.
Within the flames …..
They didn't know it was their commander-in-chief who was burning.
Only those who were close to him knew all of this. When they saw the flames, they instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.
"Do you want me to add some ingredients to give him a fusion of fire and water?"
The water elemental sprite perched lazily on Ye Zichen's shoulder, while the other sprites followed him.
"No need. Let Lil 'Fire play for a while and then come back. Don't you want to save Ol' Five? Save some elemental power. We can't afford to be careless with the people we're going to deal with. "
The flames blazed …..
However, it was an extremely insignificant interlude to the outer realms at this moment.
They'd lost!
They were waiting for the Era Lord to capture them.
The Era Lord's experts were brimming with fighting spirit. They either helped with the captives or brought the wounded to be treated.
The Era Lord had died …..
But this was unavoidable.
Before coming, they'd already made ample mental preparations. Death offered them hope for the future.
Besides, to the Era Lord …
Compared to the Outer Realms, these deaths were a complete victory.
"Zichen, why did you run over there? Didn't I tell you not to run around?"
As soon as he returned to face the enemy, Zuo Mo cursed him to his face.
When the other Era Lord experts saw this, they merely snickered. Only Zuo Mo dared curse at Ye Zichen like this.
"I had no choice. If I hadn't gone, that guy might really have surrendered."
"Isn't that what you wanted?"
"Yes, but I don't want him to surrender. I want him to die!"
He was the mastermind, and he was the one who'd wanted to reap the spoils of war. He was the one who'd caused the Era Lord's casualties.
How could they let someone like that live?
What a joke!
"How's the Divine Powered Cannon's rest? After this battle, the Outside probably won't take the initiative to attack again. We'll need the Divine Powered Cannon to keep firing and break through the Era Lord's barrier! "
"It's pretty much cooled down. If we don't worry about the damage, we can fire continuously for a day, but after that, we won't be able to use it again."
"Alright."
