As they conversed, a terrified cry rang out, "Bad news! The Northern Abyss army is attacking!"
Following this shout, the assembled crowd plunged into chaos. They scrambled to their feet and moved towards other parts of the ruins.
The Old Sky God, filled with helplessness, led everyone in a frantic escape.
Perhaps only by doing so could they survive; otherwise, they would have no chance.
The people of the Northern Abyss were like ferocious tigers, relentlessly battering them, instilling fear in their hearts, yet offering no recourse.
After all, the divine race was so terrified they dared not resist, and the current situation was completely beyond control.
"If this continues, the entire divine race may be destroyed!"
A Heavenly God spoke gravely, his expression shifting with concern.
"Since that is the case, then we shall counterattack!"
His eyes turning cold, the Old Sky God suddenly halted his retreat. He turned to the assembled divine race members and declared, "Instead of being chased like this, let us perish together!"
"Perish together!"
The crowd nodded in unison, their expressions grave.
After being pursued by the Northern Abyss army for days, they were not only exhausted but also filled with resentment.
To be pushed to such a desperate state as members of the noble divine race was utterly unbearable.
"Old Sky God, we shall follow your command!"
The Heavenly Gods spoke, their expressions exceptionally solemn as they looked towards the Old Sky God.
"Gather the divine race army and counterattack the Northern Abyss!"
The Old Sky God's expression was icy, exuding an imposing aura.
"However, the divine race members are scattered too far. Mustering them will not be an easy task!"
A Heavenly God spoke, his expression solemn, clearly not anticipating such a turn of events.
"It matters not. If we counterattack, the other divine race members will surge forth!"
The Old Sky God waved his hand and charged forward, felling formidable enemies in rapid succession.
Witnessing this, the onlookers finally regained their confidence and charged towards the Northern Abyss army.
Upon seeing this scene, the other scattered divine race members also sounded the horns of counterattack.
However, it wasn't long before the Old Sky God and his companions were surrounded and fell into dire straits.
The divine race, lacking unity, was utterly defenseless against the Northern Abyss army.
"Could it be that the heavens wish to destroy our divine race!"
The Old Sky God let out a long cry, his heart filled with unwillingness. After all, the divine race had been under his leadership for tens of thousands of years, and he never imagined it would come to this.
"Old man, the divine race's fortune is waning. Today is your death day!"
A leader from the Northern Abyss spoke coldly, "This is the fate of the divine race; you cannot escape. Surrender now!"
"Even in death, we shall never betray the divine race!"
The Old Sky God stated coldly, "You are not capable of forcing me to surrender!"
In response to these words, the Northern Abyss leader burst into laughter, "We've reached this point, do you still intend to struggle pointlessly?"
"As long as the divine race endures, we shall exist forever!"
The Old Sky God's voice was icy, "Your Northern Abyss will one day pay a heavy price for this!"
"Too much talk, kill them all!"
The old leader's voice was chilling, laced with amusement. In his eyes, the divine race members were merely prey, and he never took them seriously.
Now that the Old Sky God was captured, they could return and report, and the entire divine race would cease to exist.
It wouldn't be long before the divine race vanished from this region, a foregone conclusion.
At that very moment, the Old Sky God roared towards the heavens and drew his sword, thrusting it towards his own chest. His expression was one of utter grief and profound helplessness.
In that fleeting moment, the Old Sky God prepared to end his own life.
However, at that instant, a powerful divine force surged forth, heading directly towards the Old Sky God, causing a great upheaval and striking terror into their hearts. They had certainly not anticipated such a turn of events.
Boom...
The dagger in the Old Sky God's hand shattered. A figure appeared before him, their expression indifferent yet radiating an imposing aura. "To be reduced to such a state by your enemies, members of the noble divine race, should you not reflect upon yourselves?"
Gazing at the figure before him, the Old Sky God was completely stunned, his eyes filled with joyous surprise. "It's Lord Lu! Lord Lu has returned!"
"Indeed, I have returned!"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "However, as members of the divine race, why have you fallen into such disarray? Being driven into the ruins, this is simply a disgrace to the divine race!"
The Old Sky God stood frozen, his eyes brimming with grief and shame. "It is all my fault that the divine race has suffered such humiliation. I never imagined that our noble divine race would ever face such a plight!"
Lu Fan glanced around, then spoke coldly, "They have gone too far. The divine race shall counterattack and reclaim what is theirs. Do not let the Dragon Clan know that the divine race cannot be bullied!"
"The divine race cannot be bullied! The divine race cannot be bullied!"
A cry of defiance arose, and the crowd was filled with righteous indignation. In their eyes, the divine race was not to be insulted, a sentiment that echoed their deepest desires and hopes.
"Our noble divine race has been pushed to this point. The Dragon Clan must pay the price!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy as he surveyed the entire ruin, his aura surging.
The people within the ruins, upon hearing his words, felt a tremor in their hearts, surprised that someone possessed such formidable power as to shake the entire area.
"It's Lord Lu! Lord Lu has returned!"
The scattered members of the divine race throughout the ruins cried out with joy, some even beginning to dance wildly.
Lu Fan's appearance was like a life-saving straw to them. With Lu Fan leading the way, their hearts were devoid of fear.
In that very instant, the divine race members launched a counteroffensive, their actions decisive and imbued with a ferocity that belied their former weakness.
Indeed, the divine race could not be bullied, and as its members, how could they tolerate such events?
The Northern Abyss forces, upon learning of Lu Fan's return, were overcome with panic. They were well aware that the Dragon Clan's patriarch had dared to launch a large-scale invasion of the divine race only because Lu Fan had been lured into the Northern Underworld territory.
Now that Lu Fan had returned safely, it was a significant blow to them.
In a short time, the entire ruin was in disarray, the Northern Abyss army utterly routed, without any capacity to resist.
Lu Fan, meanwhile, moved through the divine race army like a god or demon, as if entering an uninhabited realm.
Their true god of war had arrived, like their savior.
Therefore, they would not hesitate, and even if it meant giving their all, they would defend the entire divine race and ensure its eternal prosperity, a goal that had always resided in their hearts.
Simultaneously, Lu Fan observed all of this with a cold expression, a hint of exhilaration within him.
Perhaps this was the true strength of the divine race, capable of being invincible, but lacking a capable leader, they were like a scattered pile of sand.
