In the Primordial World, Human Sovereign Fuxi wore a grave expression. "We've contacted His Majesty the Demon Emperor. He said he would be back in a few years at most."
"We only need to hold on for a few more years."
"Those fellows have already advanced to primordial gods. Our puppets are finding it harder and harder to deal with them."
"These Dead just won't stay dead, no matter how we fight them. They're truly difficult to deal with."
The Wisdom Race's Core Brain shook its head. "Let's hold on a little longer! We've also made major breakthroughs in technological research lately. As long as they don't break through to great accomplishment gods, we can still handle them."
The Ant Race Overlord nodded. "Based on the information the Demon Emperor sent back, our Gene Evolvers have begun evolving on a massive scale. I believe they'll soon possess the strength of primordial gods, too. Then we'll finally be of some use."
According to their research, Gene Evolution had advanced by leaps and bounds. The Ant Race's development during this period had surpassed that of the other two races, making it the strongest race in the Independent Alliance.
Yet the Ant Race Overlord had become even more humble.
Only they understood how powerful the Demon Emperor was. He could bring about the Ant Race's evolution while far away in the Abyss Empire. One could imagine just how formidable he was.
Although he had ventured out, his control over the Independent Alliance had not diminished in the slightest.
The most important reason they had held on until now was precisely that control.
They had planned to recall the Demon Emperor because they had no other choice. Based on their experience, these Kings were likely on the verge of advancing to great accomplishment gods.
