Delay

Before long, Huo Ling's army had completely occupied the entire fifth-layer continent.

It had taken less than two months.

Almost no battles had occurred during that time, especially in the latter half.

The only fighting generally took place at small churches that had not managed to evacuate in time. Some rural chapels had only a few clergymen present.

The fates of those clergymen had already been decided. They either renounced their faith or were beheaded on the spot.

The extermination and slaughter the gods had expected never occurred, even though the invaders possessed vast numbers of undead soldiers.

Nearly all the residents of the fifth layer had submitted to Huo Ling, infuriating the gods in the outer void.

"Peasants!"

"These filthy wretches!"

Within the divine kingdom of the Shadow God, the Shadow God upon His throne roared in fury, hurling the miscellaneous objects in His hands onto the ground of His divine kingdom.

The weather in the divine kingdom turned as fickle as the god's temper, with storms raging across it.

Countless petitioners knelt upon the ground, trembling from head to toe as they begged the god to quell His anger.

On the fifth-layer continent, the noble retainer armies busied themselves, throwing their weight around and exploiting the authority in their hands to the utmost.

This sparked one small disturbance
