Preparations of the Eight Great Clans, Birth of the New Four Divine Beasts

After Dannington left, the armies of the Eight Great Clans retreated, soon arriving at a plain ten thousand miles away.

Inside a temporary grand hall, a round table stood, with eight figures sitting side by side. They were silent, and no one dared to be the first to speak.

"Everyone, I assume none of you are planning to leave?"

After a long while, Bolin was the first to speak. His voice carried a hint of exhaustion, yet it could not mask his boundless rage.

"That's right, it's merely ten trillion years; we can afford to wait!"

Shengnaer immediately chimed in, the flame patterns on his forehead looking as if they might erupt into fire at any moment.

For endless ages, the Eight Great Clans had been locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Moreover, ten trillion years was not a particularly long time for experts who had been famous for countless eons, so naturally, no one would withdraw.

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to keep waiting like this."

After a moment of silence, Reinasi suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Hearing Reinasi's words, Wenna raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly guessing what he was implying.

"Although we cannot enter the Tianji Mountain Range, no one said the Four Divine Beasts Clan cannot come out. That group of worms has always maintained an arrogant attitude. If we arrange for people to stand outside and hurl insults, I don't believe they won't come out."

Reinasi slammed his hand onto the table, causing his gray sleeves to flutter.

"You're right. We cannot let them spend these ten trillion years too comfortably."

Barbary stood up directly, the emerald-green armor on his body beginning to hum.

The next day, just after Gaislesen and the others had gathered all the elders for a clan meeting, a massive sound of thunder suddenly erupted from outside the Tianji Mountain Range.

"What is going on?"

Gaislesen's expression shifted. He stood up quickly, clenching his fists.

"Big Brother, they wouldn't dare violate the Sovereign's order, would they?"

Gus's expression flickered for a moment, and he looked at Gaislesen with deep concern.

"Let's go take a look!"

Gaislesen remained silent for a moment before speaking. He then charged to the front, quickly arriving at the edge of the Tianji Mountain Range.

"They actually..."

Seeing the scene outside, Gaislesen felt a roar of fury burning in his chest, and he wished he could charge out immediately.

At this moment, outside the Tianji Mountain Range, the people of the Eight Great Clans had used some special divine artifact they had found to form a massive wall, upon which was clearly written: [Four Worms Clan, cowardly as mice].

"Hahaha! Aren't you known as the Four Divine Beasts Clan? What's wrong? Hiding in the gutter and afraid to come out? 'Four Worms' sounds more like it!"

Groups of people were scattered in different areas, and mocking voices rang out one after another, clearly carrying into the Tianji Mountain Range.

"Kill! Kill those bastards!"

Instantly, a portion of the Four Divine Beasts Clan members charged out. The two sides collided directly, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of corpses began to fall.

Seeing this, Gaislesen suddenly snapped back to reality and shouted loudly:

"Everyone, come back! I order you as the patriarch of the Azure Dragon clan: no one is allowed to go out!"

As Gaislesen's voice spread, the crowd that had been charging out regardless of the consequences paused. To them, the patriarch of the Azure Dragon clan was too lofty a figure to disobey.

However, there were still some who seemed not to have heard Gaislesen's words and charged out anyway. In their eyes, the honor of the clan was the most important thing; they could die to uphold that honor, and even the patriarch could not stop them.

"All elders, disperse and stop the clansmen!"

Gaislesen gave the order with a grim face, then rose into the high sky and shouted:

"Eight Great Clans, get out here!"

"Whoosh!"

The next second, a gray figure shot into the sky, confronting Gaislesen from a distance.

"What, Gaislesen? Are you prepared to come out and fight me?"

Reinasi's gray robes fluttered in the wind, his face filled with a mocking expression.

"You... despicable!"

Gaislesen gritted his teeth, looking at Reinasi who was within arm's reach, but in the end, he did not go out.

"Despicable? When dealing with you, what does it matter if we are despicable? From today on, we will hurl insults every day. At the same time, we will set up an arena outside and welcome your clan members to come out and fight. Do you think you can stop them?"

Reinasi sneered, completely indifferent to Gaislesen's insults, and continued to speak to himself.

"You!"

Gaislesen's expression changed slightly. He clenched his fists, but in the end, he could only lower them powerlessly.

From this day on, the people of the Eight Great Clans would hurl insults every day without pause. Even when the Four Divine Beasts Clan created magic arrays to block the sound, they could still express themselves through writing.

Gaislesen and the others had no choice but to issue strict orders while commanding the elders to appease the clansmen as much as possible.

However, the Eight Great Clans set up a one-on-one arena and explicitly stated that for any member of the Four Divine Beasts Clan who came out, they would only send someone of the same level to fight them, and they would absolutely not gang up on them.

Soon, clansmen could no longer bear it and went out to fight. The Eight Great Clans also kept their word: Mid-gods fought Mid-gods, High-gods fought High-gods, and Six-Star Fiends and Seven-Star Fiends dueled each other. Before long, several Four Divine Beasts Clan elders who could no longer restrain themselves also went out.

Gaislesen and the others knew that continuing like this was not a solution, so after deliberation, they decided that the clan would periodically select people to go out and fight the Eight Great Clans, resulting in a prolonged war of attrition.

From this day on, the Eight Great Clans and the Four Divine Beasts Clan began a tug-of-war centered around the Tianji Mountain Range, with both sides continuously committing manpower, forming a unique battlefield on the Bloodridge Continent.

The storm caused by the fall of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign also gradually subsided.

Time flew by rapidly, and soon, the Divine Planes opened the Plane Wars once again, with victories and defeats on both sides. Nine trillion years flashed by in an instant, and the Water Elemental Plane, through the efforts of Bayer, successfully achieved an eight-game winning streak.

Originally, the strength of the Water Elemental Plane could not reach such a level, but with Bayer and Ninisha using their Sovereign perfection strength to recruit subordinates who were lords from other Divine Planes, coupled with Hope investing the accumulated foundation, the Water Elemental Plane won battle after battle.

Although the other Divine Planes were somewhat surprised, they each had their own thoughts and had no intention of uniting for the time being.

Qingya Plane, Divine Beast Island.

At this moment, Divine Beast Island could no longer be considered an island; in a sense, it could even be called a new continent, as its area was almost comparable to the Qingya Continent.

On the continent, there were humans, Devil Beasts, and many other life forms, among which there was no shortage of god-level experts. However, there were four forbidden zones on the continent that no one could enter.

It was rumored that the four forbidden zones were formed countless eons ago, each radiating the elemental forces of earth, wind, water, and fire, and the cultivation speed in the surrounding areas was much faster than in the outside world.

However, no life form could enter the center of the forbidden zones, or they would be absorbed by a special energy and devoured as nutrients.

But today, the entire Divine Beast Continent began to shake violently. Inside the four forbidden zones, a terrifying aura emerged, and four massive pillars of light pierced through the firmament.

The terrifying energy shockwaves turned the surrounding cities into ruins, and countless Devil Beasts felt a suppression of their bloodline coming from the depths of their souls, kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Finally, have you emerged?"

High above the firmament, Hope slowly opened his eyes and looked at the four figures soaring into the sky.

Amidst the blue stream of light, the sound of a cyan Dragon Roar resonated; within the white stream of light, a deafening Tiger Howl arrived; crimson flames flickered with golden Vermilion Bird wings; and upon the earth, the earth-yellow Black Tortoise stood as immovable as a mountain.

The new Four Divine Beasts had been born!
