The several titanic figures present turned their gazes toward the approaching Si Fangjin. He represented the Great Peace God Kingdom, and his words carried great weight—he could practically be regarded as half a God Emperor.
Si Fangjin strode forward, his white hair streaming behind him. He bowed to the God Emperors present, then said, "I am Si Fangjin. Greetings, Your Majesties, and thank you for giving me this chance to speak. The situation is urgent and time is short, so I will be brief. The current situation has reached a stalemate.
