Point. Long Xiaoyao had always hoped that Ye Xishui would bring him good news upon her return, preferably a method to become a god.
For Long Xiaoyao, whether he could cross the threshold of Limit Douluo and become a god wasn't that important.
What he valued was the infinite lifespan that would come with godhood, allowing him to spend more time with Ye Xishui.
Without Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao's life would lose its meaning.
He was simply a sycophant, and the most seasoned one at that, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
However, he hadn't expected Ye Xishui to return to the border of the Haotian Empire so quickly.
Looking at Niu Tian and Titan who had come with them, Long Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and asked,
"How is it? Did you get the method to become a god?"
Ye Xishui shook her head, showing no interest in talking to Long Xiaoyao.
Although she had eventually come to terms with it, not getting the method to become a god still made Ye Xishui very unhappy.
Long Xiaoyao didn't care about this; he was already used to Ye Xishui's attitude towards him. He immediately turned to Mu En and asked,
"Mu En, what happened? Since you've already found the Grand Master and Second Master of the Haotian Sect, why did you fail?"
Mu En sighed deeply, his expression extremely complicated, and shook his head.
"It's a long story. The current situation is more complicated than we imagined." "
Although Grand Master Niu Tian and Second Master Titan have entered the realm of gods, there are gods in the Sun Moon Empire who are even more powerful than them." "
Moreover, the God Realm and Douluo Continent have lost contact. At least until it's restored, we have no chance of becoming gods."
Hearing this, Long Xiaoyao's expression changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Gods exist in the Sun Moon Empire?!"
Seeing Mu En's genuine expression, Long Xiaoyao's heart sank, feeling that their side had lost their last hope.
Originally, they thought that with Niu Tian and Titan around, even without the method to become gods, just having them join the battle would surely defeat the Sun Moon Empire.
But now, Mu En actually said that the Sun Moon Empire had gods even more powerful than Niu Tian and Titan?
What's the point of fighting then?
Besides being destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire, what other path do they have?
Seeing Long Xiaoyao's constantly changing expression, Mu En could roughly guess his thoughts and quickly reassured him,
"Don't worry, Brother Long, we're not entirely without hope."
"As long as we can hold out until the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent is restored, with Niu Tian and Titan connecting the God Realm, we will definitely achieve final victory."
Long Xiaoyao didn't relax; instead, he asked very cautiously,
"How long will it take to restore the connection?"
Mu En's face stiffened, speechless.
It was Niu Tian who spoke up.
"No one can say for sure about these things, not even Titan and I."
"But all we can do now is fight with all our might to resist the Sun Moon Empire's offensive and buy more time."
"Or, you can choose to surrender, or even commit suicide; it's up to you to decide."
Long Xiaoyao fell silent.
Although he wanted to say that Niu Tian and Titan were fooling themselves, Long Xiaoyao knew very well that at this point, it was pointless for them to do anything.
Just as he said, what could they do besides fight back?
As long as Ye Xishui didn't give up, Long Xiaoyao would never surrender or commit suicide.
To calm everyone down, Niu Tian spoke again.
"You don't need to worry so much. According to my guess, that god of the Sun Moon Empire won't easily make a move."
"Just like her two attacks on Shrek Academy and Haotian Fortress, even the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire probably don't know her true identity."
"Otherwise, this would definitely cause a huge uproar in the Sun Moon Empire."
In Niu Tian's view, the reason Gu Yuena appeared in the Sun Moon Empire instead of staying in the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest to recover from her injuries was because of Huo Yuhao.
Gu Yuena probably already realized Huo Yuhao's identity as the Chosen One.
She wanted to make contact with Huo Yuhao and try to use him, the Chosen One, to change the fate of the Soul Beast race.
Although Niu Tian admired Gu Yuena's actions, now that his own life and Titan's life were at stake, he couldn't just give up.
If he wasn't mistaken, Gu Yuena probably didn't want to reveal her identity to the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire, lest it cause more trouble.
In this way, even if Gu Yuena's strength far surpassed his and Titan's, it wasn't entirely impossible for her to hold out until the God Realm and Douluo Continent re-established contact.
Although he didn't know why Niu Tian was so certain, his words undoubtedly gave everyone more confidence.
Tang Wei, who had been silent since earlier, spoke up.
"I'll go tell them about this, and have everyone in the Haotian Empire prepare to face the Sun Moon Empire's offensive."
"I'll say it again, I don't want Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult to hold us back in this war,"
Ye Xishui said coldly before Mu En could say anything.
"You'd better keep your Haotian Empire people in check! Even if someone does drag us down, it'll be you useless lot!"
"If it weren't for you good-for-nothings standing idly by until recently when we went to war with the Sun Moon Empire, how could the situation have become so difficult?"
If it were before, Ye Xishui might have given Tang Wei some face.
On one hand, their Holy Spirit Sect did indeed need his help.
On the other hand, they wanted to obtain the method of becoming a god from Niu Tian and Titan.
But now Ye Xishui knew the truth, knew that the Tang family members didn't have a good relationship with Niu Tian and Titan, and had lost their hope of becoming gods, so of course she wouldn't continue to give him a friendly look.
Ye Xishui's words caused Tang Wei's expression to change drastically, and he glared at Ye Xishui and roared,
"You crazy woman, how dare you humiliate me like this?"
Ye Xishui sneered.
"Humiliation? I told the truth and that's considered humiliation? Then you guys are truly useless trash!"
After saying this, Ye Xishui didn't even glance at Tang Wei, turning and leaving with an arrogant expression.
As a loyal follower, Long Xiaoyao immediately followed him.
Mu En also lost interest in talking to Tang Wei, shaking his head and leaving directly.
Niu Tian, however, said pointedly,
"At this point, no one cares about your status anymore. Continuing to act recklessly as before will only lead to a heavy price."
