The Abyssal Emperor, who was overlooking the Abyssal Creature Army's assault on the human defense lines, suddenly furrowed his brows, "Hmm?"
An inexplicable sense of trepidation had arisen in his heart…
But on second thoughts, how could mere humans make him feel this way!
The only possibility was those beings!
With this thought, the Abyssal Emperor raised his eyes to the sky and said coldly, "So, the Divine Realm is ready to intervene in the matters of the Lower Realm? It seems I must hasten my plans!"
He had thought that the Lower Realm was completely severed from the Divine Realm, so he had ample time to execute his plans!
But now it seems that the Lower Realm and the Divine Realm are not entirely cut off, and the Gods of the Divine Realm can still use certain means to interfere with the Lower Realm, just like that human whose strength suddenly increased!
This was not good news for him, who had not yet devoured the Human Plane and ascended to Divine King!
The Abyssal Emperors beside him, however, spoke with great excitement, "It seems the humans are already frightened by our Abyssal Creature Army, to the point that they did not even send a single strong warrior to defend!"
"Exactly, it should not take long before the Human Plane becomes an easy catch for us, hahaha!"
"I think we, the Abyssal Emperors, should simply burst into the lairs of those human strongholds and slaughter them all!"
"Agreed, humans are but ants, dying by our hands is an honor for them!"
The Spirit Emperor, upon hearing this, cast a cold glance at them, "A bunch of fools, have you not realized that the defense lines these humans set up earlier were just to buy time?"
"Right now, they must have gathered all of the strong humans from the entire Continent, waiting for the right moment to fight us!"
Now, he dared not underestimate humans, as he himself had almost died at the hands of a man named Xu Sheng!
But fortunately, the Great Emperor had already slain him!
This statement immediately drew many angry glances from the Abyssal Emperors…
Who would have thought, the Wise Emperor also spoke in agreement, "The Spirit Emperor is correct; humans must be preparing for the final battle. Otherwise, why would they send mere ants to resist us!"
The Fierce Emperor, with arms folded, said disdainfully, "Hmph, no matter what scheme the humans have, it's all just a desperate struggle!"
The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow, "That's right, it's just a shame that we were held back by that guy last time; otherwise, we would have definitely slaughtered those fleeing human strong ones!"
As they discussed unabashedly, the Abyssal Emperor expressed his displeasure, "Enough with the idle talk. Instead of wasting time here, we should concentrate on breaking through the human defenses!"
As long as they continue to breach a few more defense lines, the humans on the other side should become restless!
All the Abyssal Emperors responded in unison, "Yes, Great Emperor!!"
...
Guan Yue, who was leading the War God Hall members in fortifying the defense line, had an extremely grim look on her face upon receiving reports from her subordinates…
The other War Gods also spoke in a panicked tone, "Hall Master, what should we do? Many defense lines have already been breached by the Abyssal Creature Army. At this rate, it will only take two or three days before they reach us!"
"Yes, Hall Master, we must think of a solution; otherwise, we won't have enough time to build the last defense line!"
"Damn it… Besides Shrek Academy, don't the other powers know to lend a hand? Their safety is at stake as well."
"If the other forces remain indifferent, then we at the War God Hall won't bother either. If it comes to an end, we'll all go down together."
At these words, Guan Yue glared at him and barked, "Shut your mouth! How can you, a War God of the War God Hall, say such things!"
"Have you forgotten what Lord Chen sacrificed himself for?"
Since Chen Xinjie had fallen, she had to take up his mantle and protect this Continent!!
The War God realized his error and fiercely slapped himself, "Sor… sorry, Hall Master, I got a bit carried away!"
Guan Yue snorted coldly but still warned, "If anyone dares to utter these words again, do not blame me, the Hall Master, for being ruthless!"
The most trustworthy War God beside him saw this and said solemnly, "Hall Master, everyone is just worried that the defenses won't be constructed in time when the Abyssal Creature Army arrives. Please calm your anger!"
Guan Yue reined in his emotions and said coldly, "If I didn't know that, the words just now would have been enough to strip him of his status as a War God!"
"However… you are right. Considering the speed at which the Abyssal Creature Army is breaking through, we must do something!"
At that moment, a certain War God stepped forward and said, "Hall Master, please allow me to lead my troops to hold the line. Although we can't guarantee we'll stop the Abyssal Creature Army's advance, we can at least buy some time!"
Seeing this, the other War Gods also spoke up one after another, "Count me in as well. We can't let those Abyssal Emperors look down on us. This is our human territory!"
"As a War God, it is my duty as well. Even if it costs my life, I will not let them advance another step!"
"Hall Master, please give your consent!!"
They thought they would receive Guan Yue's approval, but to their surprise, he flatly rejected the idea, "No!"
"You, as War Gods of the War God Hall, are the main force that will contend with the Abyssal Emperors later on. You cannot act rashly!"
The loss of each high-level combatant would only reduce our chances of victory!
The leading War God clenched his teeth, "Hall Master! But besides us, no one is willing to go. We can't just let the Abyssal Creature Army continue their invasion!"
For these War Gods, death was but death!
Who they were defending were tens of thousands of Soul Masters and civilians!
Just then, Guan Yue's communicator suddenly rang…
After he answered it, he received a piece of the latest news…
It was that the federation and all the Great Sects had already mobilized, heading to the location where the Abyssal Creature Army was expected to attack to provide reinforcements!
In an instant, the heavy stone in his heart was lifted…
Taking a deep breath, he immediately said to the War Gods present, "Everyone, put all your efforts into building the defenses. The Great Sects have sent their Disciples along with the federation's Mecha Brigade to provide support to the Abyssal Creature Army!"
"Hopefully, that should buy us enough time!!"
Even the Mecha Brigade had been deployed; those old men in the federation finally understood the seriousness of the matter!
The safety of the Continent was far more important than the federation itself!
However, he was mistaken!
In truth, within the federation, only the Chairman and Qiangu Qingfeng agreed to deploy the Mecha Brigade!
The rest of the Council Members, for the sake of the federation's standing, chose to oppose!
But their suggestions were just that, suggestions. They held no decision-making power!
Hearing this, the War Gods also dismissed the idea of leading their troops to provide support…
They quickly supervised the Soul Masters around them to start building up the defenses…
This was time bought by their comrades with their lives; they could not afford to squander it!
