Establishing fame and accumulating merit were precisely what these proud, ambitious descendants of Innate Divine Beings sought.
At those words, everyone wore eager expressions, clearly stirred by Ancestor Yin Yang's proposal. Tongtian, Minghe, and several battle-loving members of the Demonic Gate in particular looked utterly expectant, wishing they could immediately face the Fierce Beast Army, slaughter in every direction, and establish fame.
Di Jun and Taiyi were no different. A fiery light flashed in their eyes at the thought of leading billions of troops, sweeping away fierce beasts as if plowing through a courtyard, then receiving boundless acclaim. Just imagining it was exciting.
Only Li Zhu stood to one side, looking from one person to another. Light flickered in her crimson pupils, and she pursed her small lips before suddenly shouting, "Hey! You're all joining the competition, so what about me? I want to go too."
Everyone turned to look at her. Ancestor Yin Yang stroked his beard and smiled. "Little friend Li Zhu, you are a core member of the Phoenix Clan. According to the rules, you should participate alongside your own clan's squad. Could it be that you wish to join our Sacred Alliance squad?"
"I..." Li Zhu was left speechless. She truly wanted to act alongside Lin Yan, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others, but as a descendant of the Phoenix Main Branch, joining an "outsider" team without authorization in a competition concerning the clan's honor was improper in every respect. The clan elders would never permit it.
Her eyes darted about before she suddenly puffed out her chest and declared brightly, "Who says I can't participate? I'll go find the clan leader and join our Phoenix Main Branch squad. Hmph, then we'll be opponents in the competition. Lin Yan, Di Jun, Taiyi, you'd better watch out.
