Xian'er, equally unwilling to be outdone, spoke with even fiercer tones:
"And what if your Oblivion Pantheon's evil gods are disobedient and offend our Immortal-Demon Kingdom? What then? Are we supposed to constantly yield to you?"
The God of Doom, Jessijongxi, retorted stiffly, "If that were to happen, then those evil gods who offend you can be dealt with as your Immortal-Demon Kingdom sees fit."
Xian'er let out a cold snort. "Then I hope your Oblivion Pantheon's evil gods remember these words!"
The God of Doom, Jessijongxi, was highly displeased with Xian'er's attitude, but he managed to restrain himself.
"Let's go!"
Soon, the God of Doom, Jessijongxi, and the God of Annihilation, Xietu, tore through the void and departed. Seeing this, the evil gods of the Oblivion Pantheon immediately followed their chief gods.
Millions of gods continued to whisper amongst themselves.
"Oh dear, so they're not going to fight after all?"
"I really wanted to see what their fights would look like!"
"Brother, you must be crazy. How can you still advocate for war?"
"You're not a deity from another faction, are you? You must be one of the evil gods from the Oblivion Pantheon, right?"
"It's you again! You darn goody-two-shoes! Weren't you the one watching the most intently just now?"
"What nonsense are you talking? I wasn't..."
Seeing that there was no more spectacle to behold, they departed while bickering and stirring up trouble. However, even though they didn't get to witness the four chief gods fight, seeing this drama unfold was enough to satisfy them.
In just a few minutes, the once crowded starry expanse was once again occupied only by the Nature Goddess, the Faith Beast God faction, and the people of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
"It seems everything is over."
Christina clutched her ample chest and let out a long sigh of relief. She had been quite nervous when it seemed like a battle was imminent. Initially, she had indeed felt confident in fighting alongside them. But then, the God of Annihilation, Xietu, had broken through the void, and the Elf Goddess had also descended into the starry expanse. With four chief gods present, and her own strength only at the late stage of God King, she would have been utterly powerless if war had erupted. She would have been nothing more than cannon fodder.
It seemed she was still too weak. For the sake of the Faith Beast God faction's beliefs, she had to increase her strength as quickly as possible to secure a place for the Faith Beast God faction on the Primordial Continent.
Goddess Christina turned her gaze towards Xiao Mo, who was conversing with the gods of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom nearby. Xiao Mo had previously promised her that if she were willing to join the Immortal-Demon Kingdom and form an alliance, he would help her improve her cultivation. Goddess Christina had initially firmly refused, but through this ordeal, the longing for power had resurfaced within her. She... wanted power, wanted to stand at the pinnacle of the Primordial Continent!
...
"Your Highness!"
Xian'er descended from the battlefield and approached Xiao Mo, one hand pressed against her chest, bowing her head respectfully. "The mission you assigned, Holy Lord, has been completed by your subordinate."
Xiao Mo nodded and praised her, "Xian'er, you've worked hard. You did excellently."
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's praise, a touch of girlish shyness appeared on Xian'er's exquisite face. She managed to regain her composure and said, "Thank you, Holy Lord!"
At this moment, the Elf Goddess also approached Xiao Mo, asking gently, "Your esteemed Majesty, the King, wouldn't you invite me to visit your Immortal-Demon Kingdom?"
Xiao Mo immediately replied with a smile, "Of course! Not only you and the Nature Goddess helped our Immortal-Demon Kingdom, but all the other goddesses should also return with us to the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. We will treat you all exceptionally well."
If the Elf Goddess hadn't intervened just now, this great war would have been unavoidable. Regardless of the final outcome, their Immortal-Demon Kingdom would have suffered heavy losses and would not be as intact as it was now. Therefore, to thank the Nature Goddess for her assistance to their Immortal-Demon Kingdom, Xiao Mo naturally wouldn't refuse her visit.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up. Xiao Mo then led everyone back to the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. He not only brought the Nature Goddess but also Christina's Faith Beast God faction. Although war had been averted in the end, Christina had chosen to stand with them during the critical moment and had not abandoned them. This touched Xiao Mo deeply, and he considered Christina and the Faith Beast God faction as his most steadfast allies.
Before this, the relationship between the Faith Beast God faction and the Immortal-Demon Kingdom was merely a verbal alliance, and their bond was not strong. After this event, their relationship would undoubtedly be elevated to a new level. Furthermore, to thank Goddess Christina, he allocated thirty percent of the spoils of war from this campaign to the Faith Beast God faction. This was because hundreds of their gods had perished while assisting him. Although not a large number, they had paid a price, and he felt obligated to compensate them. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease. After all, the Faith Beast God faction was different from the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. He possessed the Reincarnation Pool, capable of reviving Immortal-Demon soldiers, allowing him to bring back those who had sacrificed themselves in this conflict. Therefore, this thirty percent compensation was a necessary disbursement.
Facing the vast spoils of war that Xiao Mo had bestowed upon her, Christina was momentarily overwhelmed. She had never expected Xiao Mo to share the spoils of war with her. After all, even under the immense pressure from the God of Doom, Jessijongxi, and the God of Annihilation, Xietu, that goddess named Xian'er had not yielded an inch and had refused to return the spoils. Yet, here she was, easily obtaining what the evil gods of the Oblivion Pantheon yearned for, despite having only contributed a small portion of her strength to the battle. The massive return she received made her emotional and overjoyed.
Upon receiving the spoils, she expressed her profound gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you so much!"
Concurrently, several powerful Beast Gods standing behind Goddess Christina looked at Xiao Mo with reverence. After this incident, these Beast Gods could clearly see that they had forged an exceptionally deep alliance with the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. Moreover, they might, as in the past, become subordinates to a higher divine system, serving as a strong arm for the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. This was good news for the less powerful Faith Beast God faction. After all, the Divine War was imminent. If they couldn't find a reliable backing at this juncture, they would undoubtedly be the weakest cannon fodder when the Divine War commenced. This was based on the precedent set during the ancient Divine Wars, where some weaker divine systems were completely annihilated by the Lord of the Abyss, causing that divine system to vanish entirely from the Primordial Continent.
