The day after Emperor Thirteen issued the announcement, the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Insect Race, and Purgatory simultaneously declared war on humanity.
The Alliance Government did not conceal this news and announced it to the entire world.
Major media outlets, web portals, and various social platforms all helped repost and spread the news.
Just as humanity's upper echelons had expected, the Heavenly Dao Alliance opened three battlefields: the border between humanity and the Dragon Race, the border between humanity and the Elf Race, and the border between humanity and the God Race.
Fortunately, the Alliance Government had prepared in advance. The moment it detected the Heavenly Dao Alliance's intentions, it deployed forces across all three battlefields.
The Alliance Government, the Five Great Emperor Clans, the major aristocratic families, and several four-star and five-star factions had long since been summoned and assigned to various locations.
The remaining independent cultivators and forces outside the Alliance Government's jurisdiction, after reading Emperor Thirteen's announcement, continued joining the effort, rapidly strengthening the ranks.
The Gu Ding Pirate Crew chose the battlefield at the border between humanity and the Elf Race. They chose it because this was where the four Flawless Realm Supremes of the Heavenly Dao Alliance had last appeared, making it highly likely to become the Heavenly Dao Alliance's chosen breakthrough point.
Although every race's Chaos Universe had teleportation arrays leading directly to the Chaos Universes of other races, traveling from one battlefield to the location of a teleportation array, then traveling from the array on the other side to another battlefield, would take at least several months.
Furthermore, the Elf Race had always been neutral, and humanity's defenses in that direction had been the weakest for hundreds of epochs. Humanity had not expected the Heavenly Dao Alliance to target the Elf Race either,
