"Heh, there's no need to be alarmed. The Demise Faction and the Evil Faction are very close. A long time ago, the Evil Faction once helped the Demise Faction."
"Their Godly Lord of Annihilation, Xue Tu, once saved the God King of the Evil Faction under the Godly Lord, which is why they are on excellent terms."
"To be honest, this faction is also incredibly powerful. They have a vast number of deities and can contend against any other deity faction."
"It's just that with the Godly Lord's protection, their faction has become even more formidable."
"Alas, I envy them for being able to gain the Godly Lord's protection."
"Indeed, with the Godly Lord's patronage, they are a tier above factions without divine protection."
"On the Primordial Continent, strength is everything. As long as one has a connection to a Godly Lord, they need not fear."
"Speaking of which, the Demise Faction is a rather special one. Their Three Gods of Demise were once renowned throughout the cosmos."
"Oh, Xiao Wang Shan? I still have many memories of them. Among the God Kings, they were almost invincible. They have a glorious record of defeating six God Kings with just three."
"This is truly going to be a spectacle. Let's wait and see."
"Hahahaha, the Primordial Continent has been so boring these past few years. Now that territorial forces have descended and are developing so rapidly, I think it's time to strike them."
"I wonder what has happened to make the Demise Faction re-enter the historical stage."
It must be said that the God King of Annihilation from the Demise Faction is highly regarded by many.
...
The God of Annihilation, also known as the Godly King of Annihilation, Lai Erna, hovered in the vast expanse of stars. The mere divine might he casually exuded made many deities feel suffocated, and distant seas of stars trembled.
The God of Annihilation, Lai Erna, relished the fearful gazes of the other deities.
He had been out of the public eye for a long time, cultivating in solitude, finding it quite tedious. To once again reveal himself and let the world recognize his strength was immensely satisfying.
This time, his target was the Immortal Demon Kingdom, intending to make an example of them.
Other factions were too powerful and would bring about much trouble. But in his eyes, the Immortal Demon Kingdom, with only a few God Kings, amounted to nothing.
They were the easiest targets to bully.
Even when confronting beings at the peak of the Heavenly God King realm, he had many reservations and could not act with impunity, as that would attract even more formidable enemies. After all, there were quite a few God Kings who could match him.
On the Primordial Continent, God Kings who could not ascend to the divine realm remained trapped in their current state for a very long time, thus their combat power was roughly equivalent.
This time, the God of Annihilation, Lai Erna, venturing out, not only aimed to establish the reputation of the Demise Faction by making an example of others but also had another purpose: to pave the way for obtaining the Supreme Godly Lord throne in the future.
In fact, the Demise Faction originally lacked such audacity because their faction didn't even have a proper Godly Lord. To factions with Godly Lords, they were mere ants.
But things were different recently. Their Demise Faction had produced a being at the Godly Lord level, which naturally bolstered their confidence. Although they couldn't claim to be fearless of other Godly Lords, they were no longer as terrified as before.
...
"My lord has finally ascended to Godly Lord in these past tens of thousands of years. Now, we no longer need to hide in the shadows."
"It's time for the Demise Faction to emerge."
The God of Annihilation looked at the people of the Immortal Demon Kingdom and murmured to himself.
"Lai Erna, why are you here?"
A God King from the Evil Faction asked in confusion. Their Evil Faction had also not received any news regarding the Demise Faction. Suddenly, the Demise Faction had emerged, leaving them quite puzzled.
"Our Demise Faction has been dormant for countless years. We can no longer bear the solitude and are preparing to emerge. The Immortal Demon Kingdom is the first target we have set our sights on, intending to use it to establish our faction's prestige."
The God of Annihilation communicated this via divine sense to the God King of the Evil Faction.
The God King of the Evil Faction nodded.
...
In the vastness of space, countless deities were watching. The two opposing sides were engaged in a standoff, their gazes primarily fixed on the God of Annihilation.
He was so colossal, so awe-inspiring, and his divine might far surpassed that of many deities present.
After all, this was a deity whose divine rank was at the peak of High-grade God King. Every word and action of his commanded attention.
The God of Annihilation, Lai Erna, spoke domineeringly, "Why has the King of the Immortal Demon Kingdom not responded yet? Are you afraid of me?"
"I tell you, fear is useless. You must give me an explanation for the death of the Shattered God King."
The God of Annihilation looked at Xiao Mo mockingly, seemingly believing the King was too frightened to speak. Hmph, hmph, hmph.
Xiao Mo, however, paid him no mind, instead instructing the Immortals and Demons regarding the construction of the divine kingdom.
It wasn't until the Godly King of Annihilation addressed him a second time that he noticed the other party.
The Immortals and Demons also noticed him at this point. They had all been listening to their Saint Lord's words.
Now that they noticed the Godly King of Annihilation's challenge, they began to feel displeased.
A God King among the Immortals and Demons said coldly, "An explanation? You think you are worthy of our Saint Lord giving you an explanation? Furthermore, the death of the Shattered God King was his just deserts. He actually attempted to ambush our Saint Lord, showing utter incompetence."
"He deserved to be executed. It is only natural that he has ended up in this state, with his body annihilated and his soul imprisoned."
At this moment, Xiao Mo also spoke, "Your questioning me like this is disrespectful. You must also provide me with an explanation, or I will make you pay the price."
Upon hearing this.
The God of Annihilation's expression turned grim. Not one or two people had spoken to him like this, disrespecting him and even threatening to demand an explanation, or else they would pay the price.
He was a peak High-grade God King. Did these God Kings of the Immortal Demon Kingdom not know this?
They were showing him absolutely no respect.
It was simply courting death.
"Are you trying to offend my Demise Faction? Don't be foolish and do something so reckless."
"With a single thought from me, the Demise Faction can annihilate your Immortal Demon Kingdom and slaughter all your citizens."
"I advise you to immediately hand over the identity of the deceased, or you will face true turmoil and upheaval!"
"At that point, I will no longer speak with you peacefully, but a true divine war will erupt."
"I advise you to carefully consider your options."
