Chu Mo nodded: "The place you're talking about, I've actually noticed it as well. Many years ago, the three great sages mentioned it; it's a very dangerous place. Over the years, we've consistently monitored it through the rune network. The situation is pretty much as you described. I've also considered going there to have a look. But firstly, time doesn't quite allow for it at the moment. Secondly, that place truly is perilous; I can't say I have the confidence even if I go now."

Nie Lang said: "Indeed, that place is too dangerous. Normally, I wouldn't recommend going there. It's filled with the unknown."

As he spoke, Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo: "Anyway, the overall situation is like this. These matters relate to the thoughts and psychological limits of the Divine Clan. The truly top-tier deities, such as those at the level of the rulers, what they truly desire to do is to seek the fundamental reason for the disappearance of the first-generation gods and... break through to the great ancestor realm to surpass the four realms. The latter is the most crucial factor. As for those ordinary gods, their real aspirations are eternity and immortality. They do not know many truly profound secrets and have no interest in understanding them. Therefore, a point of contradiction emerges in the entire matter. Only at this place can we explain this matter clearly to the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor can consider if there's a direct way to think of some solutions in response to this war."

Chu Mo looked at Nie Lang: "You don't have an optimistic outlook on the prospects of this war, do you?"

Nie Lang smiled wryly and nodded: "How should I put it? Our current strength is indeed very powerful. But if the beings of the Divine Clan were to fight desperately like us, I can guarantee we wouldn't be their match. But fortunately, those deities cherish their lives far more than we do. It's unlikely they would fight desperately like that."

Chu Mo nodded. He understood this reasoning as well.

Nie Lang continued: "But one thing the Heavenly Emperor must understand is, as the day of the complete collapse of the Divine Realm approaches, all the divine beings will inevitably become more agitated. At that time, they'll either launch a frenzied attack on us, or... they'll also break through from the shattered Divine Realm en masse, entering our world and thus, begin a prolonged war with us. Regardless of the nature of this conflict, it's disadvantageous to us. A prolonged war would be disastrous for the Divine Clan; at that time, everyone could be dragged down."

"Hmm, then what is your opinion?" Chu Mo looked at Nie Lang. He knew this old wolf was very wise and surely had his own insights. Otherwise, he wouldn't risk being suspected by him, inviting him to the most perilous area of this wrecked Divine Realm.

Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo, pondered for a moment, and then said: "This matter still has considerable space for exploitation. We can still talk about it."

"Talk?" Chu Mo glanced at Nie Lang.

Nie Lang nodded: "Yes, not discussing those things the Three Great Divine Clans hoped for in the past, but temporarily suppressing the battle. We still need time to develop. After all, our world is still a bit too young. Especially with the Human Clan, the rise time was too short. If the Divine Realm could collapse a million years later, in my view, the power of the Human Clan would be enough to completely overturn the Divine Clan. But now, it's not possible yet."

Chu Mo gently nodded: "You're right, the Human Clan is still a bit too young. However, won't our intentions be easily seen through on their side?"

The top-tier beings possess vast wisdom and extraordinary calculation abilities, rarely making judgment errors. Like the negotiations pushed by Senior Elder Lan before; the failure was due to his lack of understanding of Chu Mo, not because he hadn't calculated properly.

Under normal circumstances, the conditions given by him and the three family patriarchs in the end were enough to move anyone in this world, including themselves!

Nie Lang said: "They will indeed see through and understand our intentions, but internally, they aren't a monolithic entity. For example, between the Rune Life and Beast Clan, these two clans and the Human Clan... Also, as I just mentioned, the thinking of the few top-tier deities is different from that of the lower deities."

Chu Mo frowned slightly: "Do you mean to spread this matter out?"

"That's what I'm thinking!" Nie Lang said earnestly: "If this matter is really spread out, those ordinary deities will understand its authenticity after some verification. In that case, even if they still won't give up establishing a perfect Divine Realm, deep down, they will surely feel discontent towards those rulers... But..."

He said, then smiled wryly: "The topic of the first-generation gods remains a taboo. If more people discuss it, I'm afraid it could breed ominous consequences. If that happens, we won't be able to control the outcome."

Chu Mo said: "That is indeed an issue."

As he spoke, Chu Mo fell into deep thought.

Most of the first-generation gods were swept into the river of time, turning into waves, becoming part of the river of time. Then, the remaining few all disappeared. They might also be in the river of time, unnoticed. Or perhaps, confined within the great secret place the three great sages mentioned.

If everyone forgets them, then naturally, they have no ability to escape from the river of time or the cage. But if more people discuss them... Then, equally, some unpredictable things might occur.

For example, they might break free from the cage, leap out of the river of time. If that situation happens, it would be uncontrollable. It would be far more dangerous and complex than the current situation.

Chu Mo suddenly raised his head, looked at Nie Lang, and said: "But can we use this matter to threaten those seven rulers?"

Nie Lang was silent for a moment, then spoke: "I think, probably yes. But doing so is equally very dangerous."

Chu Mo smiled wryly: "There's no path that isn't dangerous for us now."

Nie Lang said: "If the Heavenly Emperor trusts me, I can do this."

Chu Mo shook his head: "I'll go."

"No, it must be me." Nie Lang's expression became serious as he looked at Chu Mo: "What they most want to do now is to kill the Heavenly Emperor! You humans have a saying, 'The son of a thousand gold sits not in the hall.' The existence of the Heavenly Emperor has a huge influence on the entire world. Those people will surely have the urge to kill the Heavenly Emperor. So this matter must be done by me."

Nie Lang continued, then said plainly: "At least they clearly know that it doesn't mean anything to kill me. I want them to understand that we know everything they want to do. If they really want to forcibly start this war, then the final result can only be mutual destruction."

Nie Lang laughed, "Actually, I have another great idea!"

Chu Mo looked at him and said calmly, "A runic message board?"

Nie Lang clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "The Heavenly Emperor is indeed wise. However, I am quite impressive too, aren't I? Hahaha!"

Chu Mo also laughed.

After laughing, Nie Lang spoke seriously, "As long as we temporarily suppress this war, then lead the Divine Clan down. They want to launch a large-scale assault? No need for them to do so, we'll just let them come down ourselves. Our boundary wall can't stop their massive attack anyway. Then, temporarily demarcate an area for them. Let them survive there. After all, in a short time, the Divine Clan isn't facing any existential threat. Even if they lose immortality and eternity, they aren't so easy to kill. During this process, give them the runic message boards!"

Chu Mo nodded, "Won't the rulers realize this?"

"They likely will. Although they haven't seen a runic message board, they will understand its power once they do," Nie Lang said, smiling. "That's why we need to threaten them. In their eyes, we are nothing but a bunch of lowly creatures. Yes, even our Beast Clan, in their eyes now, is just a group of lowly creatures. As they say among the Human Clan—'those who go barefoot aren't afraid of those who wear shoes.'"

Chu Mo chuckled, "You seem to have gained quite a bit of knowledge about the Human Clan over the years."

Nie Lang said, "The culture of the Human Clan is vast and profound, much better than the things of the Beast Clan. We need to learn too."

Chu Mo nodded, "You're right, we barefooted are not afraid of the shoed. At worst, we'll fight them to the end!"

In the twenty-eight thousandth year of the Pangu calendar, a large number of gods launched an assault.

However, to their surprise, just as they began to assault, a massive gate opened instantly from the boundary wall below!

Although called a gate, it was actually an enormous hole spanning millions of miles!

Through this gigantic hole, the beings from the Divine Realm could clearly see the lower realm below.

All the gods in the Divine Realm were a bit stunned.

"What does this mean?"

"What's going on?"

"Has the lower realm completely given up resistance?"

"This must be a trap!"

"This is definitely a conspiracy!"

"Yes, it's the Human Clan's conspiracy!"

"Watch what you say, how is it a Human Clan conspiracy?" Some from the Three Great Divine Clans were displeased.

"Aren't you humans too?" came the sneering reply.

"Want to fight?"

"Fight if you want, who's afraid of whom!"

Years of repression left these gods of the Divine Clan feeling suffocated. Coupled with the uncertainty of their future, each one was anxious. They were practically ready to ignite at the slightest spark.

"Enough, enough!" an elder-level figure from the Three Great Divine Clans spoke up, looking at the clamoring areas, "Everyone now has only one goal! If you want to fight, fight the lower realm beings! If you want to argue, go argue with them!"

The gods knew this in their hearts, so they all fell silent.

Then, a group of high-ranking Divine Clan leaders gathered at the edge of the hole, looking down with furrowed brows. They were also speculating in their hearts.
