MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 609 - 97: Rootless Netherworld (10)

"Duke Divine Power’s journey to the Netherworld was indeed orchestrated by the strong ones in my clan," Bai Tianhang reluctantly began, "but the true manipulator behind the scenes was none other than the Regent Lord, Mr. Hui. He instructed me to invite Duke Divine Power into the Netherworld as a messenger, the only way to persuade the other Netherworld families to unite against the Warden and the Great Arbiter."

Bai Tianhang grimaced, "However, once Duke Divine Power entered the Netherworld, Lord Hui assigned new tasks to me and my clansmen. Only Bai Shaoze continued to stay by the Duke’s side."

"And where is Bai Shaoze now?" Nuoshan asked gravely.

Bai Tianhang shook his head, "Since the Netherworld God’s resurrection, he has vanished. According to my investigation, it seems he was taken into the Netherworld Prison by Warden Salong."

Nuoshan offered his speculation, "Could Tuku Lu also have been taken into the Netherworld Prison by Salong?"

"I will investigate thoroughly, but," Bai Tianhang hesitated, "the Netherworld Prison falls under the Warden’s domain. My people can’t even get in, and even if they did break in, they’d never make it out alive."

"Try bribing the prison guards inside," suggested Nuoshan. "I don’t know what would be valuable in the Netherworld, but if you need anything, just speak up. Whatever it takes to extract information about Tuku Lu, just ask and you can have it from me!"

"Thank you, Duke. I will do my best." Bai Tianhang’s meeting with Duke Nuoshan had two purposes: to relay the news of Lu Hong’s disappearance and to bring the news of the Netherworld God’s resurrection.

Under Bai Tianhang’s account, Duke Nuoshan gradually grasped the current situation in the Netherworld.

Due to the Netherworld God’s resurrection, the gods of the Netherworld chose to flee, hiding within the Star Sea or various Star Domains. The Netherworld God alone now rules the entire Netherworld, rigorously training his troops, seemingly aiming to dominate the Star Sea.

Yet, every time the Warden suggested attacking the Sacred Empire, the Netherworld God hesitated, ultimately turning his focus towards the Star Domains.

"Has the invasion of the Star Domains started now?"

"No," answered Bai Tianhang. "Not everyone can cross the Nether River, thus the Netherworld God invoked supreme Divine Power to bury the Nether River. Since then, there’s been unobstructed passage between the Netherworld and the Star Sea, though this has also greatly diminished his power, and he is still recuperating."

Hearing this, Nuoshan felt a pang of regret, "If the Human Race had several Heavenly Gods, now would be an excellent opportunity to strike at the Netherworld God. Unfortunately, we have none."

The Star Sea may be devoid of gods, but that doesn’t mean the Star Domains are.

As Nuoshan suspected, many Heavenly Gods from various Star Domains gathered together, sensing the resurrection of the Netherworld God and his ambitious designs on the Star Domains.

"Furious Sun God, wielding his Divine Sword, asked somewhat helplessly, "Lord Yan Fei, are we really going to launch a direct assault on the Netherworld?"

The words of the Furious Sun God also echoed the sentiments of many Heavenly Gods of the Star Sea. Indeed, although they were exalted as Heavenly Gods, the top combatants of the Star Sea, there were still disparities among the gods. The Netherworld God, an ancient Primordial God, was not someone they could easily contend with.

"I’ve received the latest news that the Netherworld God, having buried the Nether River, has expended a vast amount of his Divine Power. This is our only chance," Yan Fei spoke up. "If we don’t strike now, by the time the Netherworld God fully recuperates, we will stand absolutely no chance."

"Lord Yan Fei," the Scarlet Queen said gravely, "I’m not sure how reliable this information is. What if it’s a trap set by the enemy?"

Unlike Furious Sun and Yan Fei, the rest of the gods of the Star Domains were born after the era of the Netherworld God’s slumber. They only knew of his might, but had no real gauge of his full strength. Thus, they harbored a sliver of hope.

All gods are Heavenly Gods. I may not be able to defeat you, but that doesn’t mean you can kill me for sure. As long as I’m determined to escape, I will always be able to get away.

Yan Fei glanced at the Scarlet Queen and asserted, "The information is absolutely accurate. I hope you all seize this opportunity and abandon any wishful thinking."

"Hey!" At that moment, a Heavenly God of the Lofakor Pollution Star Domain, the True God of the Disaster Church known as the Mourning Wound, spoke up, "I agree with the Scarlet Queen. Yan Fei, you’ve never been to the Netherworld. How could you know so well the condition of the Netherworld God?"

"Exactly." Another Heavenly God from the Lofakor Pollution Star Domain, Spirit of the Shadowy Eyes, also expressed his opposition.

Among the four major Star Domains, eight Heavenly Gods, three had raised objections. If one more voted against the assault on the Netherworld, this plan might really not go ahead.

At this moment, all eyes turned to the Unbounded Emperor.

The Unbounded Emperor was slightly startled, "Why are you all looking at me?"

Isn’t it obvious? As a part of the Evernight Star Domain, since the Scarlet Queen opposed, it was unlikely that the Unbounded Emperor would counter her.

"Unbounded Emperor, do you support this assault or oppose it?" Suppressing her disgust toward Unbounded, Hua Cai asked.

Seeing Hua Cai initiating conversation with him, the Unbounded Emperor responded in a cocky manner, "Agree, agree, whatever you say, I agree!"

"Wu Jiang!" Seeing the other party infatuated, the Scarlet Queen instantly flew into a rage and slapped him across the face, "If you look at her one more time, I will gouge out your eyeballs!"

Wu Jiang, the Unbounded Emperor, covered half of his face and complained in aggrievement, "Can’t I even look?"

"No!" the Scarlet Queen rebuked, "Tell me! Are you in favor or against?"

"I," the Unbounded Emperor mustered his courage, but ultimately changed his stance, "I am against it."

Hearing the Unbounded Emperor’s response, Hua Cai sneered in disgust, "Coward!"

"I," hearing Hua Cai’s insult, the Unbounded Emperor felt extremely aggrieved. Ah! If only he hadn’t indulged in his lust, he wouldn’t be weaker than the Scarlet Queen, never able to stand straight again.

Yan Fei did not get angry but looked around and spoke, "It’s now four against four, but that doesn’t mean we give up on the plan for a surprise attack."

"What? You Eternals have more Heavenly Gods; are you thinking of bringing a few more to count heads?" the Scarlet Queen retorted sharply to Yan Fei, holding no fondness for the Eternals.

"No." Yan Fei shook his head, "Only Hua Cai and I will participate in this operation from the Eternals; the other Heavenly Gods won’t interfere with this meeting."

"Each star domain contributes two Heavenly Gods; now that it’s four against four, how exactly should we decide then?"

"It’s simple, just bring another power’s Heavenly God into the fold."

"The Demonic Clan?"

Yan Fei’s answer made other Heavenly Gods think of the Demonic Clan from the neighboring star domains.

"No."

"No?" Yan Fei’s denial left them somewhat dumbfounded; if not the Demonic Clan, then what other power in that star domain could possibly have a Heavenly God?

Seeing their confusion, Yan Fei raised his hand and drew a portal, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come out; it’s time to meet everyone."

Under the gaze of several Heavenly Gods, five True Gods exuding the aura of the Netherworld walked out.

"Netherworld Gods?!"

Instantly, the star domain’s Heavenly Gods were on high alert, with the Scarlet Queen lashing out at Yan Fei, "And you said this plan for a surprise attack isn’t a conspiracy? Yan Fei, you actually colluded with the Netherworld to harm the Star Sea?"

"Hehe!" At that moment, a Netherworld Heavenly God scoffed, "Yan Fei, had I known you Star Sea gods were so foolish and timid, I would never have discussed cooperation with you."

"What did you say?" the Scarlet Queen, unyielding, stepped forward to confront him.

The Netherworld Heavenly God narrowed his eyes slightly, "What? You want to fight?"

"You think I’m afraid?"

With that, the Scarlet Queen’s body radiated a light red Divine Power, ready to erupt at any moment."

"Enough!" Yan Fei let out a low growl, his formidable Divine Power suddenly blossoming, pressing down on everyone’s hearts.

Indeed, Yan Fei was still the strongest among these Heavenly Gods.

Seeing Yan Fei enraged, both sides lost their tempers and turned their heads away without saying more.

Yan Fei cleared his throat and then said, "Regarding the news about the Netherworld God, it was Heavenly God Ming Yi who informed me. This information is absolutely true. I earnestly request that all of you seize this opportunity to join forces and defeat the Netherworld God, for the sake of our subjects, and indeed, for ourselves."

The Scarlet Queen was still inclined to argue, but the All-Knowing God stopped her and advised, "Regardless of whether the Netherworld God has set a trap, it’s better to have the war ignite in the Netherworld than in the Star Sea."

Indeed, the destructive power of a divine war is great. Although the Star Sea’s plane is sturdy and its space stable, it couldn’t withstand such a chaotic battle among numerous Heavenly Gods. Once the fighting broke out, it was estimated that nearly half of the Star Sea would be destroyed by the fluctuations of the divine war.

The Scarlet Queen paused to consider it, and it seemed quite true.

"Well then, let’s go with that!"
