MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

According to his previous conversation with Eferot, Lu Hong was well aware of the current military strength of the beast clans. They boasted a main force of thirty million, possessing formidable strength and close cooperation among different types of soldiers. Although most were not at the Third Transition, they could potentially kill a Third Transition opponent when operating their battle formation cooperatively.

Apart from the beast clans' troops, the current second most powerful force in the Star Sea was the Saint Peace Kingdom. Their ten million warriors were truly adept at waging war on the battlefield.

Next in line was the Star Space Alliance, which actually had no choice in the matter. Originally, during the ancient beastmen invasion, nearly all the forces had been exhausted.

Even now, the Star Space Alliance couldn't muster a million troops, but fortunately, those who had survived the calamity had been through the baptism of war and possessed strong strength, tackling ten enemies each without difficulty.

Of course, this is the state of forces existing in the Star Sea.

It hadn't considered places like the Endless Forest, the Netherworld, or Hell.

Speaking of the Endless Forest, Lu Hong had no intention of interfering; the collective consciousness of the Demon Beasts was not strong. They relied purely on their overwhelming numbers in battle. If only the Demon Beast army were deployed, it might be fine, but if they were to ally and wage war with various forces, it couldn't be guaranteed that these Demon Beasts, in their bloodlust, wouldn't turn on their own allies.

As for the Netherworld, after the souls were sent back by the Hell Demon King, they needed considerable time to transform into Netherworld people. Additionally, the Netherworld God had also told Lu Hong that these Netherworld soldiers could not aid him in his conquest across the All Heavens and Worlds.

Thus, the forces Lu Hong truly could control were just the beast clans, the Saint Peace military, and the Star Space Alliance.

Now that the Star Space Alliance and Saint Peace were already settled, the only ones left were the beast clans with their strongest military edge.

Without the beast clans, if he were to initiate his conquest across the All Heavens and Worlds, his chances of success would indeed be halved.

"Go, who said we wouldn't?" Lu Hong, knowing the key issues, spoke, "But whether I can truly seize the position of the Beast King..."

"The outcome isn't important," the Netherworld God interjected at this moment. "In entering the beast clans, you just need to initiate the Blood Oath and give it your all."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong laughed, "Are you suggesting cheating?"

The Netherworld God shook his head, "Help you cheat? I cannot afford to lose that face. If you succeed in defeating all challengers and ascend as the Beast King, that would be ideal. But if you fail, the beast clans will still welcome a new Beast King. The domains of the All Heavens and Worlds are vast; we could simply step back and cooperate, conspire together for dominion."

"Alright, I'll listen to you," Lu Hong nodded and, under the guidance of the Netherworld God, approached the long-missed Divine Grace.

Before even entering the Divine Grace, the Netherworld God had unleashed his power.

His mighty black Divine Power instantly shrouded the Divine Grace, and all the Heavenly Gods of the beast clans mobilized, flying out of the Divine Grace to face the Netherworld God who had come from miles away.

Currently, within the beast clans' Heavenly Gods, there was a political split, with the largest faction being the group that included the Saint Master of the porcine clan, headed by the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God, who was once second only in strength to the Fallen Wolf God.

Faced with the full-force presence of the Netherworld God, the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God felt like a solitary boat under a vast ocean, enduring endless waves' battering, at any moment potentially falling into the deep sea, buried inside a fish's belly.

Taking two deep breaths, the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God, with a trembling voice, cupped his hands towards him, "May I ask what important matter brings the great Netherworld God to our Divine Grace?"

"To discuss a very large transaction with you."

"A transaction?" The beast clans' Heavenly Gods looked at each other, disbelieving that the Netherworld God's visit would bring anything good; after all, these ancient beasts had led an invasion all the way into the Netherworld, relying on the absolute overpowering numbers of Heavenly Gods to sweep through the entire Netherworld.

The Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God opened his mouth, and after a while, finally managed to say, "I'm not sure... not sure what commands the Netherworld God has, but my beast clans will surely cooperate fully, not daring to defy in the least."

Now that the other party had spoken thus, the Netherworld God straightforwardly declared, "Very well, you are now my vassals. Submit to me; I will lead you to expand our territory and conquer the world."

Conquer the world?

The Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God quickly shook his head, "The Lionheart God specifically ordered us before his departure to not violate the alliance with the Star Space Alliance; I beg the Netherworld God to forgive us."

In the eyes of these beast clans' Heavenly Gods, didn't 'the world' just mean the land of the star domain? Where else could they possibly fight?

Now, with internal divisions and an unstable government within the beast clans, it truly wasn't a good time to start a war externally.

"You are mistaken," the Netherworld God spoke. "The world I speak of is billions of times larger than the Star Sea, containing countless planes, known as All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!"

"This..." Clearly, these beast Heavenly Gods were stunned by the Netherworld God's words. Billions of times larger than the Star Sea? Such a place existed?

They did not doubt the truth of what the Netherworld God said, as top Heavenly Gods like him had no reason to deceive them, especially when there was no benefit in such deception.

"Of course, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds have numerous forces and countless Heavenly Gods. It isn't something my Star Sea can face alone. Now that the Star Space alliance is willing to cooperate, my visit today is to recruit you under my command, to unite all forces of Star Sea and expand our territory."

Hearing the Netherworld God's words, the blood of these beastly Heavenly Gods boiled. They had been planning for years, leaving their homes to come to this future world, all for the sake of broader territories and the prosperity of their tribes. There was no reason for them to refuse such an offer.

"Lord Netherworld God, if these words are true, my beast clan will fully cooperate. However..."

The Netherworld God immediately understood the concerns of the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God and quickly responded, "Rest assured, I will be fair in my judgments. Everything will be determined by military merits, and I will not show favoritism to any party."

Receiving the Netherworld God's response, the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God immediately showed a welcoming smile. "Come now, Lord Netherworld God, please enter our beast Imperial City to discuss further, so that we may offer you our hospitality."

Since the heart of the world was destroyed, the divine grace had stopped suppressing the realm of Heavenly Gods, clearing all obstacles along the way.

Upon entering the beast Imperial Palace, the Netherworld God, accompanied by Lu Hong, took the supreme throne.

Seeing the man sitting next to the Netherworld God, these beastly Heavenly Gods were quite surprised but held back their words.

"I have another matter to discuss this time."

"Please, Lord Netherworld God, speak freely."

"I would like to recommend a Beast King to your clan."

On hearing this, the beastly Heavenly Gods frowned slightly. Although they could accept temporary subjugation to the Netherworld God, since they couldn't defeat him, they did not appreciate such interference in their tribal internal affairs.

Respecting the strength of the Netherworld God, the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God did not reject the idea outright and instead asked, "May I know who Lord Netherworld God has in mind?"

The Netherworld God pointed to Lu Hong beside him and said, "His name is Lu Hong. He is already the leader under the Heavenly God Realm of the Star Space Alliance and will also be the leader for your beast clan."

Before the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God could speak, the beastly Heavenly Gods unanimously voiced their objections.

"No, our beast clan could never accept a human as a Beast King, even if we accept him, our subordinates would not want it, leading to instability within our ranks and jeopardizing our great cause."

"Gentlemen," at that moment, Lu Hong stood up and bowed to the beastly Heavenly Gods, then spoke, "I am a half-beast, with the blood of your clan also flowing in my veins."

"Is that true?" asked the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God, frowning slightly.

"Certainly." With that, Lu Hong activated the bloodline of the Lionheart within him, unmistakably revealing the aura unique to the Lionheart Royal Family.

"This..."

Seeing this, the beastly Heavenly Gods did not know what to say.

After a long pause, the Hundred-Eyes Heavenly God finally spoke: "Lord Netherworld God, it's not that we are unwilling to obey, but the position of the Beast King... is not for us to decide."

"What do you mean?"

"It's as literal as it sounds!" A robust voice came from outside the hall as the nine elders of the Lionheart Royal Family arrived, looking at the Netherworld God seated on the throne and spoke, "You are not our Beast King, and do not deserve to sit on this supreme throne."

The Netherworld God was not offended by the disrespect of the second elder of the Lionheart Royal Family. Instead, he seemed interested, watching the nine Lionheart elders who barged into the hall: "You... are interesting. Who resurrected you? It must have been possible to snatch souls from my Netherrealm... Ah... I know now, it was the Spirit Resurrection Great Array."

Quickly, the Netherworld God guessed the true reason behind their resurrection and then asked the Lionheart elders, "Have you allied with Hell?"

Hearing the Netherworld God's words, the Ancient Beast God, who was already worried about dealing with these people, immediately stepped forward and pointed at the Lionheart elders rebukingly, "You have betrayed the beast clan and allied with Hell, you deserve death!"
