At first light, Old Shu and Xie Yi arrived. They were going to enter the Mustard Seed Space with us, taking up two slots.
I had originally thought that people from the other divine domain factions would come to pester us again. After all, they had all sent people yesterday to try to claim a spot, but I had turned them all down.
Xie Yi patted me on the shoulder. "I heard that some of them have found ways to enter Zeus's Mustard Seed Space, though it's only hearsay, so there's no telling whether it's true. But rumors don't come from nowhere. There's no harm in being careful."
Xie Yi was reminding me that I was not the only one who could enter Zeus's Mustard Seed Space.
"It's fine. Even if they get in, it doesn't matter. Zeus himself isn't afraid, so what are we afraid of?" I was telling the truth. I had even suspected that Zeus had tacitly permitted his subordinates to do this. There was no way Zeus had not left himself some backup plans.
He was not an idiot, and he would never fight a battle unprepared!
That place was his home ground. To put it bluntly, this war was his war as well.
At most, I was helping him out with a small favor. I could not even be considered reinforcements.
If this had not been within Great Xia's borders, we would not even need to worry about it.
I asked Old Shu, "What will you do if it really comes to a fight?"
Old Shu said calmly, "We'll find a way. In any case, we cannot allow the battlefield of the War of the Gods to appear in Great Xia."
I smiled. "But only two of you came in."
Old Shu looked at me.
