The Ghost Emperor shuddered and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the Demon Empress.
Hearing her words, his eyes lit up.
That's a good idea.
Just then, the Abyss had already completed half of its investment in them.
If we leave now, it would be like giving the Holy Spirit Cult a free ride.
The plan has long been exceeded, and the Demon Empress has successfully advanced to the True God Level, without even needing to use the Blood River God-Slaying Array.
Next, he and the Darkness Emperor will be able to enjoy the benefits of the Blood River God-Slaying Array.
That makes a total of three True God Level.
In this war, only Quasi-God can speak at the table; True God Level represent the highest level of combat power.
Those below the level of Quasi-God are not worth discussing; they won't affect the outcome of the battle.
"You..."
Faced with the Demon Empress's threat, the Sage Emperor's expression turned extremely ugly.
Would they rather fight to the death than give the benefits to the Abyss?
Now, Sage Emperor, who had been in control all along, was suddenly in a dilemma.
Originally, they were stronger than the Holy Spirit Cult, but now that the Demon Empress has finally appeared, the situation has instantly reversed.
The existence of the Sage King must absolutely not be revealed.
"I'm curious, why are you now in charge of the Abyss?" the Demon Empress said calmly. "You also have two True God Level, who are clearly leaders, yet you listen to them."
"I merely hold the position of strategist," Sage Emperor said without much further reaction. "I used some clever tricks to devise tactics, which earned me the favor of Spirit Emperor and Blaze Emperor, leading to my command of the army. That's all."
Now that the Demon Empress has appeared and his attitude is extremely tough, the Sage Emperor has no choice but to change his decision:
"However, I personally agree that we, the Abyss, should pave the way first. That would benefit everyone, wouldn't it? But I need to report the situation to Spirit Emperor and Blaze Emperor now and get their approval. Is that alright?"
The Demon Empress did not respond immediately; she simply stood there quietly, her figure beneath the cloak seemingly blending into the surrounding icy landscape, giving off an air of unfathomable mystery.
Her existence was like that of the ruler of this Far North, cold and powerful.
"If you've had this attitude from the start, things will be much simpler." After a moment, the Demon Empress uttered these words, and before the two of them, his figure slowly dissipated. "Then, let's begin this game."
" Yu Longyue, humph, I heard he's only at the Quasi-God level. Even if he shows up, so what?"
"No one can stop me from taking my revenge!"
Inside the Blood God Legion.
The Blood God Legion's defensive line, like an unbreakable Great Wall of Steel, stood before the entrance and exit of the Abyss Passage.
This is the only connection point between Douluo Star and the Abyss World, and also one of the most important defensive lines of the Blood God Legion.
The metallic sheen of the mechs appeared particularly cold in the dim light; their towering bodies and sharp weapons formed a formidable defensive line.
The Blood God Legion taxi drivers, each clad in the Federation's latest technologically advanced Battle Armor and wielding an unknown new weapon, fixed their gazes firmly on the entrance to the passage, ready to confront Abyss Creature that might appear.
Qiangu Dongfeng, who has been stationed here year-round, stands on a high command platform. His figure stands out among the many soldiers and mechs. His face is resolute, and his eyes occasionally sweep across the passageway, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
Although there has been no movement in the Abyss since he arrived, according to Yu Longyue, this is definitely the calm before the storm.
Even after all this time, the Qiangu Dongfeng still dares not slacken its efforts.
They guard this place day and night.
It is precisely because of this that Qiangu Dongfeng is able to gain everyone's favor, and even his cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds, having already reached the level of Qiangu Dongfeng Quasi-God.
Even today, the guards who have been there all along seem to have changed somewhat.
"General, someone requests an audience; I hear it's your elder brother."
"Big Brother?" Qiangu Dongfeng was taken aback, then overjoyed. "Quickly, invite him in and lead him here."
If it weren't inconvenient for him to leave, he would be going out to meet with them right now.
Soon, a middle-aged man whose appearance bore a striking resemblance to Qiangu Dongfeng entered the area.
It is the elder brother of the Qiangu Dongfeng, the Qiangu Qingfeng.
However, he did not come alone.
A woman who walks alongside the Qiangu Qingfeng, her delicate features and gentle smile give people a friendly and warm feeling. She is beautiful but not ostentatious, yet possesses an unforgettable charm.
The two held hands, walking in unison, and arrived before the Qiangu Dongfeng.
"Big brother..."
It's been a long time since I've seen Qiangu Dongfeng.
"Hearing that you've been staying here for so long, I followed you here." Elder Brother Qiangu Qingfeng smiled slightly. "You've worked hard, even resigning from the position of Tower Master that you were so reluctant to give up. You seem to have changed quite a bit."
"It's not hard work, it's my duty." Qiangu Dongfeng naturally didn't mention that because of the existence of the God Level Martial Soul Yu Longyue, as a ruthless and ambitious man, he also rationally abandoned his plan to rule the Douluo Continent like the Spirit Hall without hesitation.
Having no other choice, he could only try to gain favor and offer his assistance.
Before Yu Longyue, everything else paled in comparison; this was the legendary chosen one.
Perhaps, the same was true ten thousand and twenty thousand years ago, in the era of Tang San and Huo Yuhao; the Qiangu Dongfeng has also captured this pattern.
They are the chosen ones, and Yu Longyue is also absolutely the chosen one, the destined victor of this era.
This is one of the main reasons why Qiangu Dongfeng never wanted to oppose Yu Longyue, no matter what.
Another issue is that he is too strong and grows rapidly, making it virtually impossible to assassinate him. The Holy Spirit Cult has already tried to do so, but without success.
"I wonder what brings you here, elder brother?" Qiangu Dongfeng asked, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing.
Qiangu Qingfeng exchanged a glance with his wife, then said, "We've decided to join you in guarding this place. Father agreed to this, and he's also contacted the Blood God Legion..."
Did the father agree?
That's not surprising.
The doubts that had been there before suddenly became clear to Qiangu Dongfeng.
Father Qiangu Dieting can be considered a powerhouse on roughly the same level as Yun Ming, and is also Quasi-God Limit Douluo with the strongest explosive power in the entire continent.
At least in Yun Ming's era, Qiangu Dieting was one of the few strong individuals who could rival Yun Ming; he was definitely not weak.
However, just as the two brothers were talking, the Abyss Passage suddenly stirred. A deep and terrifying roar came from the depths of the passage, like the roar of the Abyss, foreshadowing the coming storm.
Qiangu Dongfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately pounced on the testing equipment.
All the taxi drivers on the front lines tensed up, their eyes fixed on the Abyss Passage.
"Everyone, be on alert! Contact all Blood Gods and Legion Commanders in the Blood God Battalion Camp!"
After issuing the order, Qiangu Dongfeng coldly shouted at the soldier beside him, "Why is the testing equipment not responding?!"
