"I wonder how Lord Barbarian God plans to arrange this?" Jiaojiao asked.

"According to intelligence gathered by scouts, The Second World has dozens of Void Gods and more than a thousand Demigods. Our First World’s strength is about the same, we’re evenly matched. Of course, that’s assuming the Allied Army of The Second World doesn’t interfere. If they join in, we can’t fight them, especially the current five thousand Divine Domain warriors led by the God of Slaughter. If they intervene, even our First World would be wiped out by them. So, we must wait until they are completely away from The Second World before we can set out."

Lord Barbarian God paused, then continued his analysis: "After the Demon Race Microcosm suffers attacks from these five thousand Divine Domain experts, they will surely be in full retreat, fleeing towards the depths of the universe, while the God of Slaughter and others pursue them. Once they’re far away from The Second World and can’t return quickly, that’s when we’ll strike The Second World."

"How do we deal with those Guardians of The Second World? As Guardians, they can’t follow the God of Slaughter to besiege the Demon Race, they will certainly stay to guard their home base." Tian Yu asked again.

Lord Barbarian God shook his head, saying: "Our goal isn’t to destroy The Second World, that would mean a protracted war unlikely to succeed. So, we can only attack the most critical part of The Second World, severing their lifeline without facing those Guardians directly."

"Oh? What’s the most critical part?" Lu Ba asked curiously.

"The World Tree!" Lord Barbarian God uttered a name, looking up towards The Second World in the sky, "Currently, the World Tree has become the lifeline of The Second World. We only need to stay in the outer sky of The Second World and destroy the World Tree remotely to heavily damage The Second World. Therefore, our strategy is to concentrate superior forces, launch a surprise attack, and achieve strategic objectives before they can respond effectively. This is much easier than attacking the entire Second World."

"Lord Barbarian God is wise!" Jiaojiao flattered.

Lord Barbarian God, with his hands behind his back, coldly smiled: "Furthermore, the Demon Race is not so easy to wipe out. The God of Slaughter and his forces will pay a huge price at the hands of the Demon Race, and when The Second World suffers dual blows, they’ll be easier to handle."

"How many people should we send for the operation?" Lu Ba asked.

Lord Barbarian God glanced at the three and said, "The Barbarian God Cult will send five Void Gods and fifty Demigods. Each of your three clans dispatches two Void Gods and twenty Demigods; plus, Mosto, Flying Eagles, Sea Tide, Evil Spirits, each sends one Void God and ten Demigods. Additionally, from our extraterrestrial bases in Snow Spirit World, Kailuo World, and Di Xu, we’ll withdraw ten permanent resident Void Gods and fifty Demigods. Plus, we’ll contact all our allies to send twenty Void Gods and two hundred Demigods."

Tian Yu calculated: "With this arrangement, we and our allies form a powerful force of forty-five Void Gods and four hundred Demigods!"

"This is not all, I will also infuse my Strength into the Three Great Barbarian Spirits, deploying them in battle." Lord Barbarian God added.

"Three Great Barbarian Spirits also join the battle? Isn’t that too wasteful? Once your Strength is infused into them, it cannot be taken back." Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise.

Lord Barbarian God shook his head, "Facing The Second World requires utmost caution. When the Barbarian Spirits enter a Berserk State, their combat power can rival a Mortal God’s true form, so we can rest assured! Moreover, I have a last resort that no one has guessed, something I haven’t used for countless years, hopefully won’t need to this time."

Upon hearing Lord Barbarian God’s words, the three clan leaders felt reassured. With so many deployments, and considering this is a surprise attack, they could certainly destroy the World Tree before The Second World reacts.

"Then let’s go gather our forces!" Lu Ba said impatiently.

"No rush!" Lord Barbarian God held out his hand to stop him, "I can contact our allies at any time and gather forces temporarily before the campaign; this little time doesn’t matter. This is a surprise attack, strict secrecy is paramount. Gathering forces now may expose us. Secrets unknown even to our own people truly remain secret."

...

"God of Slaughter, we Demon Race have come as well." A casual voice echoed in the void, and a group of people swaggered in with the golden sunrise.

This was a powerful group of Void Gods, no less than a dozen of them. They varied in appearance, resembling Tree Demons, Fire Demons, Wolf Demons, Water Demons, each with a noticeable demon tail.

At the forefront was a burly man with lion-like golden hair, carefree and unruly, his shirt open to reveal strong chest muscles, like a wanderer.

Their arrival immediately drew everyone’s attention, with over four thousand Demigods from across the universe, and Dream Tribe, Dragon Clan, War Clan, the powerful representatives of these top cosmic races, all turning their heads to stare at the group. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The Demon Race was the descendants of the Creator Ancestral Spirit, also one of the top cosmic races, second only in power to the Dream Tribe. They welcomed strong individuals from all races, gathering all kinds of gods, somewhat like the Demon Race’s acquired type, more accurately described as a power.

The leading man stepped up to Huang Yi, extending a hand for a handshake, laughed heartily: "I’ve long admired the name of the God of Slaughter! I am called Mountain City Wanderer, Lion King of Ancestor Monster. It is everyone’s duty to annihilate the Demon Race, I have brought Ancestor Monster’s forces to support."

Huang Yi shook his hand, nodded and said: "As far as I know, those who can be called ’Emperor’ and ’King’ among Ancestor Monsters are all Mortal Gods, such as Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua of our Hero Empire. Are you also a Mortal God?"

"Of course!" Mountain City Wanderer flashed a gallant smile, "I fused with the old lion king of the Demon Race, replacing him, and became the Demon Race’s first Heaven Sent Mortal God. This is my Incarnation, my true form resides in the Demon Realm. If you’re willing to visit the Demon Realm, I’ll surely greet you in my true form."

"Interesting!" At this moment, Dream Tribe leader, Dream Against the Heavens, chuckled.

This Mountain City Wanderer bears some resemblance to him and also fused with the strong of his own clan, though he fused with the Dream Tribe’s Creator Ancestral Spirit, Ancestor of Dreams, while the Mountain City Wanderer fused with a Mortal God.

"You must be Dream Against the Heavens! I wonder if it’s just a dream or your real body?" The Mountain City Wanderer reached out to Dream Against the Heavens.

"To eradicate the Demon Clan in such a major event, of course, it’s my real body!" Dream Against the Heavens shook hands with the Mountain City Wanderer.

"Your real body?" The Mountain City Wanderer’s smile grew even brighter, "Does that mean we have combat power akin to a Creator Ancestral Spirit in our Allied Army?"

"Not just one. If necessary, my father will make a move!" said the Supreme Demon Dragon.

"Our father will also act!" added War Maniac.

"And our father," two voices, one male and one female, echoed from the horizon in unison.

Eight figures emanating hazy moonlight flew in from afar. Leading them was a man and a woman, none other than the Moon Clan’s Shuang Sha.

Among them was Zang Yue, who had last come to compensate Huang Yi. She wore a beautiful long dress of moonlit gauze, her appearance stunningly beautiful, like a serene and graceful Goddess of Moonlight, deserving of her charm award.

"You’ve finally arrived!" Huang Yi greeted them, then clapped his hands and called toward a direction behind him, "You three come out now, meet your clan members!"

With these words, three dim crescent moons suddenly flew out from under a leaf of the World Tree, transformed into human forms in front of Shuang Sha, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Shuang Sha."

"Hmm? It’s you?!" Shuang Sha exclaimed in surprise.

It turned out these three of the Moon Clan’s Virtual Gods were the same ones who assisted the Demon Clan in refining The Second World and were captured by Huang Yi and imprisoned in the Heroes’ Prison.

At that time, these three Moon Clan Virtual Gods were severely wounded by Huang Yi’s Ancestral Dragon transformation. As they were returning, midway they were intercepted by Huang Yi’s incarnation and detained in the Heroes’ Prison.

A few days ago, Huang Yi released them and signed a Master-Servant Contract; the three had now become Huang Yi’s slaves.

However, they were seriously injured, their strength considerably reduced, barely able to make a significant impact now.

"God of Slaughter, what is the meaning of this? We have already resolved our grievances; you should return these three clansmen to us," Zang Yue coldly said to Huang Yi.

"They are war criminals; I can’t return them," Huang Yi replied, shaking his head slowly, "Of course, if you are willing to offer corresponding benefits to exchange for these three, then I could consider releasing them. You stood with the wrong side back then, and you should have this awareness."

"You..." Zang Yue was about to speak when the Male Slayer raised a hand to stop her and addressed the three Moon Clan Virtual Gods, "You should stay in The Second World to heal. The Second World is now a good place; the World Tree is rich with nature’s spiritual energy, and its guardians are renowned predecessors. Staying here may be an opportunity for you; consider yourselves representatives of the Moon Clan in The Second World!"

"Yes!" The three Moon Clan Virtual Gods nodded.

Huang Yi gave the Moon Clan’s Shuang Sha a glance, shaking his head slightly.

As leaders of a top cosmic race, they seemed too mild, not as assertive as Zang Yue.

When they helped the Demon Clan, they were indecisive; even when Moon Father called them back, they hesitated. Now, in facing the situation with the three hostages, they didn’t even propose an exchange, instead kindly persuading them to stay in The Second World.

If it were a leader like War Maniac, this would not be the case.

Seeing that the time was about right, Huang Yi looked down below, the sunlight had already flooded the land and sea, and a new day had officially begun.

He immediately ascended higher into the sky, raised the Slaughter Blade, gazed over the more than five thousand Divine Domain powerhouses in the crowd, and pointed toward the distant moon, declaring, "Friends from around the universe! Over these eras, the sins committed by the Demon Clan are as numerous as the stars in the universe. Today, we shall make them pay! I, the God of Slaughter, as the King of the Second World, announce, set off immediately, eradicate the Demon Clan!"

Sorry, not feeling well today, I only wrote these three thousand.
