When Li Yunmu heard the system's words, he became absent-minded while looking before himself. The system's words were like a question. Asura alone could kill four ancient gods, which made the other ancient gods hesitate.
After the battle between Land of Ice against the combined forces of Lanlou and the Ocean region, all ancient gods had suffered injuries. Only Asura, with his scheming, faked heavy injuries while in truth not even a hair on his head had been touched.
The instant all the ancient gods were attacked by Asura, the outcome of the battle would be decided. If all the ancient gods and Asura staked their lives on the fight, then undoubtedly the ones to win would be the numerous gods. But if they did so, then apart from Lakshmi, who was only a small fraction of a soul, the other five ancient gods would perish as well.
This was the reason why the ancient gods decided to retreat after gathering outside Asura City.
