Gaiseresen: The Family's Glory Will Never Fade!
"Pash, there's something I need you to do."
The face of the Destruction Overlord was completely shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see his true appearance. His hoarse voice entered the mind of the Blood Peak Sovereign.
"Your Overlord, give your command!"
Blood Peak Sovereign Pash lowered his head and spoke respectfully, while his mind raced, trying to figure out what the Destruction Overlord would ask him to do.
"Although the Four Divine Beasts have perished, they were once the Overgod, and the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range is their birthplace. If they are destroyed just like that, it won't look good for the Overgod."
The face of the Destruction Overlord was expressionless, his hoarse voice contained boundless pressure, and his lips moved slightly.
"My Overlord, do you mean I should preserve the Four Divine Beasts Clan?"
Pash asked cautiously. To be honest, he didn't want to do such a thing, but if the Destruction Overlord gave the order, he would still do it.
"Tell the Eight Great Clans that they are not allowed to enter the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range for a million years. As for after that, it doesn't matter."
The Destruction Overlord spoke slowly. His research had reached a critical moment. He still needed some Highgod from the Four Divine Beasts Clan, but a million years would be enough time for him to collect sufficient data.
"I understand, Overlord. I will inform the Eight Great Clans about this."
Blood Peak Sovereign breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't forced to protect the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
Upon hearing Pash's reply, the Destruction Overlord didn't say much, only nodded slightly, and then vanished as a gray phantom.
"A million years? If it's only temporary, it shouldn't displease Lord Ren. Oh well, since it's the Overlord's order, it must be carried out without fail."
After the Destruction Overlord left, the Blood Peak Sovereign exhaled and tidied up all the chess pieces on his table.
From Pash's perspective, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Although he didn't have a good relationship with Reding and the other three, there was no deep-seated hatred between them. He wouldn't stoop so low as to take action against the Four Divine Beasts Four Divine Beasts Clan just because they lived on the Blood Peak Continent and made him feel insignificant.
Similarly, he didn't want to protect the Four Divine Beasts Clan. After all, everyone knew about the feud between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and Lord Ren, the Water Overlord. If he intervened to protect the Four Divine Beasts Clan, no one could guarantee that Lord Ren wouldn't be dissatisfied.
Offending an Overlord is no small matter, and Pash would not do it unless absolutely necessary. Pash's ability to navigate between different factions as a Low-Sovereign is precisely due to this caution and prudence.
Pash, the Blood Peak Sovereign, has always presented himself as a kind-hearted, simple-minded person. However, someone who has served as Overgod for countless years and survived the great war Overgod is naturally not a truly kind-hearted person.
If the matter of the Four Divine Beasts Clan gets involved between the Destruction Overlord and the Water Overlord, he, as a Low-Sovereign, will probably not have a good ending.
Fortunately, the Destruction Overlord does not seem to intend to have a direct conflict with the Water Overlord; he simply does not want the Four Divine Beasts Clan to be completely wiped out for the time being.
While the entire Divine Plane was engulfed in constant carnage, the interior of the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range remained remarkably calm.
None of the Eight Great Clans managed to penetrate into the Sky Mountain Range. Therefore, the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan were safe after returning to their Ancestral Land, which gave most people the illusion that they were completely safe.
However, the family's higher-ups all knew that this matter was far from over; the current calm was merely the calm before the storm.
Azure Dragon Palace, a round table stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by six different figures sitting in front of it, each with a face full of sorrow.
Gaiseresen's once dignified face was now filled with grief. Looking at his younger siblings, with whom he had lived for many years, he remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Everyone, we can't just sit here and wait to die. The people of the Eight Great Clans are already converging on our Ancestral Land. Once they've all assembled, they will definitely launch their final assault."
Gaiseresen's voice was much hoarse, and his trembling syllables contained grief and anger.
"Those bastards from the Eight Great Clans! How dare they do that when Father and his family were around!"
Chief Gus of the White Tiger Patriarch looked ferocious, letting out angry roars, wishing he could rush out immediately and fight the other party to the death.
"Gus, Father and the others have only lost contact temporarily; it doesn't necessarily mean something has happened to them!"
The Black Tortoise Patriarch Morey, frowned instantly and reprimanded him with some displeasure, his brown eyebrows standing up high.
Although they had recently received the news and activated the parchment to contact the Overgod, none of the Overgod responded to them. However, Morey was unwilling to believe that his greatest support, his ancestor, had died.
He preferred to believe that the ancestors were trapped for some reason and could not get away to help them for the time being, rather than simply admitting the fall of the four ancestors.
"Morey, wake up! It's too late now!"
White Tiger Patriarch Gus immediately spoke angrily, glaring at Black Tortoise Patriarch Morey:
"If Father and the others were still alive, the other Overgod would surely know. The fact that the Eight Great Clans acted together clearly indicates they received information from the Overgod. If Father and the others were still alive, even if they were only temporarily trapped, how dare the other Overgod?!"
As he spoke, the originally furious White Tiger Patriarch Gus slumped back into his chair, a few tears slowly sliding down his pale eyes.
The Black Tortoise Patriarch Morey, opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing. In truth, they understood perfectly well, but they simply refused to believe it.
During this period, the children of the Overgod were under the most pressure. They received news of their clansmen being killed almost every day. The killings targeting the Four Divine Beasts Clan never stopped in the four supreme planes and the Seven Divine Planes.
If an ordinary clansman is killed, they can go to the clan elders; if an elder is killed, they can go to the clan leader and the Grand Elder. But who can Gaiseresen and his group go to? They are helpless and can only reluctantly give the order to retreat to everyone in the clan.
During this period, dozens of elders have fallen one after another, more than the number killed by Ren on the Bifu Continent. The hearts of Gaiseresen and his companions are bleeding. They can only endure the pain of losing their parents while fulfilling their duties as clan leaders.
In front of their clansmen, they dared not show the slightest grief or helplessness, for everyone in the family was watching them.
"Alright, Morey, Gus, let's stop talking about this. We are the heads of the family, and from now on, we must shoulder everything for the family."
After a long silence, Gaiseresen finally spoke, comforting his two younger brothers before looking at Gaia and Grand Elder Mori of the Black Tortoise Sect.
"We have to prepare for the worst. Gaia, Mori, you two are ready to run away."
