Lu Hong didnāt make an impression, as the two Angel beauties only had contempt for him in their eyes, so even if he wanted to make a move, he couldnāt.
But Song Quan did manage it, and these Angels residing in the God Realm held him in complete reverence. Becoming his woman was probably the dream of a lifetime for any woman in the God Realm.
Just as Song Quan was about to be intimate with the beauties, the Lionheart God had already returned to Divine Grace.
Upon setting foot in Divine Grace, the Lionheart God destroyed the portal leading to the God Realm, severing the direct route from the God Realm to Divine Grace.
Originally, the portal opened by Song Quan was meant to lead to the heartland of the Eagle Alliance, but the moment the Lionheart God stepped through it, he horizontally tore through the spatial rift, forcibly creating a passage leading to Divine Grace.
The fluctuation from the spatial tear quickly caught the attention of the other Heavenly Gods of the beast clan.
And in an instant, two Heavenly Gods arrived.
"Lionheart, sir?" they asked, stunned, "What are you..."
"I just borrowed the portal. Go find Bai Du and have him thoroughly search Divine Grace, erasing all portal coordinates," said the Lionheart God as he entered the beast clanās Imperial Palace and sounded the assembly horn.
Within half an hour, all the beast clanās Heavenly Gods gathered in the court hall.
The Lionheart God walked directly to the throne once belonging to Taiāe and looked down at the Heavenly Gods standing below.
Some of the beast clanās Heavenly Gods were not entirely convinced of the Lionheart Godās superior status, but the prevailing trend left them with little room to stir up any trouble.
"Lionheart, whatās the situation in the netherworld?" Yin She took the lead in speaking, "Did you find a way to resurrect our clanās fallen?"
Seeing the Lionheart God shake his head, everyone showed a look of disappointment, "Is there really no way?"
"My lords,"
the Lionheart God patted the armrest and said in a deep voice, "This trip to the netherworld... I didnāt find any traces of souls; the entire netherworld was empty, nothing at all."
"Thatās impossible! With so many souls having passed, how can there be none entering the netherworld?"
"Those souls have been taken away," Lionheart recounted what he and Lu Hong had observed and heard after meeting.
After hearing Lionheart Godās account, the beast clanās Heavenly Gods fell into silence.
After a long while, Yin She spoke first, "Lionheart, are you truly no match for that Spider Queen?"
"If she hadnāt used that bizarre domain, I wouldnāt fear her, but within her domain, I find it difficult to wināthe critical issue is, Hell has not just one Heavenly God stronger than me but another named Liesuotus who might be even more formidable than the Spider Queen."
"What do we do?!" they asked anxiously after hearing Lionheart Godās description, "When will they attack us?"
"If the Demon King is resurrected, they will likely attack."
"When will the Demon King be resurrected?"
"I donāt know."
"You donāt know?" the Heavenly Gods asked incredulously, "Then what do we do?"
"Preventing his resurrection should suffice," the Lionheart God stated. "This time, I intended to investigate the state of the Demon King, but not having defeated the Spider Queen, I pulled back for now. Who wishes to venture into Hell with me next time?"
"I do!"
"Iām willing!"
"I am willing too."
After hearing from Lionheart God about Hellās immense power, the beast clanās Heavenly Gods all wanted to witness it for themselves.
"I can only take two of you; more would attract the attention of the Hell Demons."
"Then it should be me and Yin She." With the death of Blood Maniac and Kui Shen, only Fallen Wolf and Yin She were left among the top three of the beast clan.
Seeing Fallen Wolf speak up, Lionheart nodded, "Before returning, I signed a pact with the Human Race that as long as they do not enter the Star Sea, we will no longer initiate attacks on them; I hope you all will adhere to this during my absence."
Now, the gods of the beast clan had no intentions toward the Star Sea Alliance, and they nodded in agreement.
This time, going to hell, Lionheart did not plan on seeking help from Song Quan, for there must be other rifts leading to hell within the Star Sea to discover.
The meeting concluded, and the Lionheart God arrived at the secluded shrine where Taiāe resided in the backyard.
This former ruler of the ancient beast race, once an emperor among beasts, now seemed like an old man on the brink of decay, emanating an intense aura of death.
"Taiāe!"
Lionheart Godās low call startled him awake.
Recognizing the visitor, Taiāe struggled to his feet, performing a casual salutation, "Taiāe pays respects to the ancient ancestor."
With a brief glance over Taiāeās disheveled appearance, Lionheart was far from satisfied, "You truly do not deserve the title of my Lionheart royal family."
"If I do not deserve it, then so be it." Since the alliance of the four races, Taiāeās perspective had broadened. He no longer obsessed over the gains and losses of his race alone. The ancient beast race had slaughtered countless beings, and he could only bow under their tyranny, just like a dog, ordered about by these loftier beast gods.
This had led to the collapse of his faith. Taiāe had been pondering one thing: Could the ancient beast race still be considered the same race as their present beastmen counterparts?
Their atrocitiesāenslaving, humiliating other kingdomsā citizensāwere all reported to Taiāe through the eyes and ears of the servants in the Imperial Palace.
The ancient beast race never considered the present beastmen as their kin! Yet, he, cowed by their might, could only watch helplessly as his own people suffered under oppression.
"Father, oppression is better than death."
Before leaving, Eferot had consoled Taiāe.
But to Taiāe, the glory of the beastmen was not about merely surviving; he would rather die fighting against tyranny than live so disgracefully.
Lionheart God did not dwell on Taiāeās current state, arriving solely to inquire about the matter regarding hell, "Do you understand hell? Do you know of any rifts leading there?"
"Hell?" Taiāe glanced at Lionheart God, nodding, "Somewhat, their forces are quite formidable. They have been eyeing this God Realm for countless years and have even infiltrated the Star Sea, establishing a sect known as the Hell Sect."
"Do you know where the nearest rift to hell is?"
Taiāe shook his head, "Regarding hell, apart from the Hell Sect, the Naturist Sect knows most about them. It is a human organization which dwelled in the since-destroyed Green Forest under your iron heels."
"If I want to enter hell right now, can you tell me the fastest way?"
Facing Lionheart Godās persistent questioning, Taiāe looked at him for a long while before asking, "What do you want in hell?"
"To investigate the situation of the Hell Demon King, if he revives, the world will face destruction."
"Hell Demon King," Taiāe was not very familiar with this history, but anything that concerned Lionheart God was far from trivial.
"Isnāt it already almost destroyed?" Taiāe sighed, taking out a green jade slip from his bosom, "This is a magic signal to contact Vice Sect Hierarch Lando of the Hell Sect, who is the woman of my late youngest son. Please do not be too harsh on her."
"Thank you."
Accepting the jade slip, Lionheart immediately crushed it.
As a spatial portal opened, Lando emerged from it, "What do you need from me?"
Taiāe pointed to Lionheart beside him, "Itās not me looking for you, itās him."
Lando glanced at Lionheart God and panicked, trying to flee back to hell.
But she was preemptively blocked by Lionheart God, "Do not be afraid, I will not harm you."
Seeing her escape route blocked, Lando steadied her spirit and shot Taiāe a resentful glare, then turned to Lionheart God, "What do you need from me?"
"Two questions. First, has hell recently transported a large number of souls? Second, where is the nearest rift leading to hell?"
Lando seemed surprised, "You want to go to hell?"
"Yes, the Hell Demon King might be resurrecting, and I need to stop it."
"Who told you the Hell Demon King might be resurrecting?" Lando glanced skeptically at Lionheart God, "Iāve never heard such rumors in hell."
"Just answer my questions." Lionheart God paid no heed to Landoās words; the woman before him was not even of the God Realm, she was unqualified to be involved in the matters of whether the Demon King might soon resurrect or not, he needed to see it with his own eyes.
"Yes." Lando answered the first question, "Recently, Archimonde ordered the sect to rush the production of containers that could hold souls, and in large quantities, probably to collect souls, I assume."
