Although everyone had long been mentally prepared for the outbreak of this Chaos war, hearing Chen Nianzhi personally speak the news still made their expressions change abruptly.
After a moment, Qu Nishang drew a deep breath and asked, "What does the Imperial Lord mean?"
Chen Nianzhi passed the Imperial Lord's decree to everyone, then said, "The Imperial Lord means that our strength is weaker, so we should wait at ease for the exhausted enemy and focus on defense."
Everyone examined the Imperial Lord's decree upon hearing this.
After a moment, they all nodded. Jiang Linglong could not help but say, "Yes. A direct confrontation would be disadvantageous to us."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, a trace of gravity surfacing in his eyes.
Within the Eastern Liyan Domain, the human race had Li Yan Imperial Lord, an early-stage Primordial Imperial Lord, while the ruler of the Chaos Demon Gods, Ancestor Li Yan, was also an early-stage Primordial Imperial Lord. It could be said that there was not much difference between the two sides' top-tier combat strength.
However, below the Primordial Imperial Lord realm, the balance of power was clearly uneven.
There were more than a hundred immortal domains within the Eastern Liyan Domain. Setting aside the Chen Immortal Clan, there were over one hundred and thirty Daluo Golden Immortals in total.
The Chaos Demon Gods also had over a hundred Chaos Nests, but unlike an immortal domain, which had one Daluo Golden Immortal, a single Chaos Nest could very likely house several Chaos Demon Gods.
Thus, although the overwhelming majority of these Chaos Nests were low-grade Zenith Heaven Chaos Nests, they birthed an enormous number of Chaos Demon Gods—more than two hundred and sixty in total.
It could be said that there was an enormous disparity in the number of Daluo Golden Immortals.
