When Empress Shangguan Linlang suggested a "proactive rescue" for the two clueless main gods of the Nordic Pantheon, Odin, and the king of the Greek Celestial Court, Zeus, who had been trapped in the Mystical Realm, truth be told, the Western gods present weren't particularly "willing."
Oh, to be more precise, even President Xuanyuan Wuji of the Xuanyuan Corporation, the Lord of Demon City, showed a... lack of enthusiasm.
As for the reason, well, it was very... straightforward and brutal.
The Greek Sea God Poseidon believed that if Odin, the Lord of the Nordic Pantheon, and his own Divine King Zeus, could "return home hand in hand as a couple," cough cough, what he actually meant was that it would be good if Odin and Zeus just remained trapped in the Mystical Realm.
That way, their "rivals in love" would be greatly reduced, wouldn't they?
Others—or rather, other gods—shared Poseidon's sentiment, cough cough, significantly so.
