This was the first time the gods had come to the Ancient Plane, a world the Divine Realm had never noticed or discovered before.
Only after God King of Destruction ordered them, in his capacity as a member of the God Realm Committee, to enter this plane did they belatedly realize how terrifying it was. Their understanding came through contact with the local Human Race and battles against the enemies God King of Destruction had ordered them to eliminate.
This was a world not much weaker than the Divine Realm. In fact, it was even more terrifying than the worlds these gods had known before ascending to godhood!
At the peak of this world's power system were five God Ranks, lying between First-Level Gods and Second-Level Gods. There were plenty of them, and even the slightest miscalculation could leave a god gravely injured.
Even the weapons wielded by mortals here had enough firepower to slay gods. The large weapons mounted on enormous ships looked easy enough to dodge.
But after several Second-Level Gods were struck by the biological Meng Giant Ships organized by the Ancient God Realm and had to be rushed to Goddess of Life for treatment, they still remained in critical condition.
None of the gods God King of Destruction had ordered to join this divine punitive campaign against the Ancient Plane felt even the slightest desire to treat this world as a place to stretch their legs anymore.
The Ancient Plane had to be taken seriously, and the Ancient God Realm had to be punished!
This was a war, but it might also be... an opportunity?
If this world could nurture beings who rivaled gods, then surely it also concealed resources that could greatly improve the cultivation of gods stuck between First-Level and Second-Level God Rank in
