After successfully cultivating the Nine-Fold Destruction Divine Power, Zhou Yu began his secluded meditation.
However, it was not long before a message arrived.
"Youcang, come to the Hall of Ten Thousand Races at once."
The message came suddenly from the Yao Emperor, one of the Five Emperors of the human race.
Not long after the ancient war between humans and demons ended, the human race established the Hall of Ten Thousand Races, nominally to lead all races.
After the era of the Three Realms began, the Hall of Ten Thousand Races lost its original purpose, but its prestige and reputation remained remarkably high; at the very least, it held a special significance for the Nuwa Faction.
It seems the conflict has escalated again.
Zhou Yu understood that less than fifty years had actually passed since the attack on the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Pondering this, Zhou Yu moved his mind to manifest a divine power avatar, heading straight for the Hall of Ten Thousand Races located in the Great Yu Human World.
With the strength of a soul nurtured by a True God's divine body, a single strand of divine power avatar was more than enough to travel easily to any corner of the Three Realms.
High above the Great Yu Human World, the temple inscribed with the totems of all races stood tall, the structure itself exuding an ancient and vast aura.
Upon arriving, Zhou Yu took his seat among the gathered True Gods and Dao Ancestors of the human race.
Zhou Yu was inconspicuous at this moment. Not only had he shown no dazzling feats since becoming a True God, but more importantly, he had been a lone wolf for endless ages since his breakthrough. Even within the ancient human race, aside from the Yao Emperor, with whom he had some history, most other True Gods and Dao Ancestors barely knew of his existence.
Nevertheless, a few True Gods and Dao Ancestors soon greeted him.
After exchanging a few words via voice transmission, they were surprised to find that Zhou Yu was not as reclusive as they had imagined.
Zhou Yu quickly learned why the Dao Ancestors had gathered at the Hall of Ten Thousand Races.
For the past fifty years, although the Nuwa Faction and the Wujian Faction had engaged in friction and conflict, they had remained relatively restrained.
But just moments ago, the two sides had erupted into a large-scale war involving an entire realm.
Zhou Yu's main body, remaining in his lair, projected his consciousness to investigate and immediately discovered a massive, brutal slaughter unfolding within a major world of the Yuhuang Realm.
Hundreds of thousands of Celestial Immortals, tens of millions of Loose Immortals, and a multitude of Heavenly Gods and True Immortals were locked in combat; countless immortals, gods, and devils were perishing every single moment.
With a slaughter of this scale, how much origin energy could I harvest if I participated? Zhou Yu thought, feeling a sense of regret.
He would not make it to the war in the Yuhuang Realm in time, but once his main body and his Second Primordial Spirit passed the Heavenly God Tribulation, he could certainly participate in the wars of other realms.
The first clash in the Yuhuang Realm war ended in a stalemate, and after suffering significant losses, both sides sounded the retreat.
By now, the True Gods and Dao Ancestors who were expected to attend had mostly arrived at the Hall of Ten Thousand Races.
Those present were essentially the core foundation of the Nuwa Faction, primarily composed of the three major powers: the ancient human race, the Daoist school, and the Buddhist school, along with scattered independent Chaos True Gods such as Patriarch Bodhi, the Thunder God Heavenly Venerable, and others.
Having followed Nuwa since the ancient world, they naturally stood together now.
Among the three major powers of the Nuwa Faction, the ancient human race was undoubtedly the most powerful, as each of the Three Sovereigns possessed the strength of a leader-level figure.
Suiren stood up and spoke first: "Ever since the warning of fate, they have been constantly engaging in petty schemes. We should have been alerted when the Six Paths of Reincarnation was attacked. Since only one side can exist, we should never have been soft-hearted from the start."
"By now, everyone should see clearly: if we wait any longer, it is we who will be annihilated!"
"..."
As Suiren spoke, the other True Gods and Dao Ancestors nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the warning of fate had told them that they and the Wujian Faction could not coexist, yet they had not acted immediately, hoping instead to find the source of the calamity.
Instead, the Wujian Faction had pressed forward step by step; at this point, they could no longer afford to endure.
"In terms of overall strength, the Wujian Faction cannot compare to us," the Sanqing Daoist said calmly.
"That is why they are desperately trying to win over the neutral forces that emerged after the birth of the Three Realms, hoping to offset our advantages by seizing destiny!"
"But there is one thing: their intelligence gathering is superior to ours, and that is something we must guard against."
"Superior intelligence means they can mobilize resources faster," Suiren said.
"From now on, we shall all leave divine power avatars here and do our utmost to mobilize resources from all sides to contend with them."
"Amitabha, that is exactly what must be done."
"War will inevitably require a massive amount of immortal pills. The task of refining these pills shall be left to me; I have disciples under my command who can assist," the Sanqing Daoist said calmly.
When it came to alchemy, he was the best in the Three Realms and had trained many experts in the craft.
Following the Sanqing Daoist's lead, the other True Gods and Dao Ancestors began to offer various contributions beneficial to the war effort, whether by providing powerful formations, treasures, or manpower.
When it was Zhou Yu's turn, he also brought out some treasures he had obtained from the World Prison, though he did not bring out many, keeping his contribution on par with the other ordinary True Gods.
His strength was not yet sufficient, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Beyond the treasures, Zhou Yu added, "I have a powerful warrior under my command who can step in to help when the time is critical."
Zhou Yu's words did not attract much attention from the others, but Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this. He took the initiative to send a voice transmission:
"True God Youcang, is the warrior you speak of Immortal Ganyu? Has he already reincarnated?"
The Great Xia World belonged to the Crimson Bright Realm, which was under the command of Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor; clearly, he had already heard of the events that had transpired in the Great Xia World.
"It is him. He is currently recultivating and should be able to return to his peak soon," Zhou Yu replied.
"That Immortal Ganyu's realm was indeed very high, but to think that his past life was actually a Heavenly God?" Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor asked again.
No matter how powerful a Pure Yang True Immortal may be, it is difficult for them to be called a "war general." Only Celestial Gods are truly in their element during warfare, earning them the title of war general.
However, Zhou Yu did not answer the question posed by Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, merely offering a few perfunctory words to brush it aside.
Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor did not dwell on it; although he was curious about the past life of Immortal Ganyu, it was not of great importance to him.
In any case, with the guarantee of Zhou Yu, an authentic True God of the ancient Human Race, his identity was reasonably assured.
Moreover, a Empyrean God capable of mastering the fourth level of origin power is indeed formidable and rare; among the many Celestial Gods and True Immortals under Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor's command, not one could be found who was so powerful.
"Immortal Ganyu only awakened his memories after reincarnating into my Crimson Bright Realm. If a great war breaks out in our realm in the future, you must let him come and lend a hand," Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor said promptly.
"That is not difficult." Zhou Yu smiled slightly and agreed immediately.
"Good, good, good! As long as he is willing to come, I will certainly not treat him poorly; I can still produce a few treasures." Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor felt a sudden surge of joy in his heart.
If a formidable Empyrean God could assist in a war, things would indeed be much easier. Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor had not expected such an unexpected gain at this moment.
He suddenly felt that this True God Youcang of the Human Race was not as aloof as he had imagined, since he had so easily agreed to send such a great general under his command to help!
