Lin Yi confronted the ruling ghosts of the Mande Cave, asserting his dominion over the entire Bisite Planet. When the ghosts resisted, Lin Yi swiftly destroyed one with his Soul-Breaking Skill, intimidating the others into submission. Afterward, Lin Yi and his group returned to Blue Star, while Dragon Queen faced a crisis as Dark Rising's crucial information system failed to arrive at their new headquarters, leaving her unable to effectively command her forces.

The battle on Dark Rising’s side quickly descended into an awkward situation.

Thankfully, Dragon Queen had seen through the essence, or else she would have started doubting herself long ago.

As the chief commander of personnel deployment, she couldn’t manage to regain footing for Dark Rising for several consecutive days, and with the entire Desire Realm’s battlefield continuously retreating, questioning her leadership was inevitable.

The high-level members of Dark Rising, who stand high and see far, can understand.

Dark Rising’s rise has been too fast. Over the past half a year, they haven’t completely secured their position, or perhaps because the All Celestial Divine Beings haven’t fully exerted their strength, it’s not overstated.

The Desire Realm being recaptured by the All Celestial Divine Beings is only a matter of time.

They just didn’t expect that there would be a traitor in the organization, accelerating everything so quickly.

Through Dragon Queen’s investigation and analysis of the current intelligence, she confirmed that the All Gods initiated their attack from the Desire Realm Celestial Human Dao line, successfully pinpointing the escaped Luo Bingxin.

Though Dark Rising’s information system was destroyed by Corpse King Ying Gou, the bounty on Luo Bingxin was still smoothly issued through other means.

Most Dark Rising members do not agree with the claim that Luo Bingxin defected.

The headquarters was destroyed, the information system damaged, the Seven Heroes of Dark Rising did nothing substantial; to the middle and lower tiers, this is seen as an ineffectiveness of the Seven Heroes.

However, this didn’t cause much turmoil in Dark Rising.

If you don’t follow the leader’s orders, you’re out; having opposed the All Gods before, leaving Dark Rising’s protection is surely a dead end.

To ensure Dark Rising operates smoothly, Dragon Queen relocated most of the fighting force near the new site and dispatched numerous personnel to assist Gongshu De in rebuilding the information system.

"Our future doesn’t look good, Dragon Queen."

Using his Divine Artifact, the Divination Genius foretold Dark Rising’s future, but the outcome was rather disappointing.

With issues in the information system, Dragon Queen’s administrative difficulty has increased significantly; the Divination Genius, who usually dislikes dealing with matters and exerting effort, could only choose to step in and help.

While reviewing paperwork, Dragon Queen was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Her thoughts drifted back to half a year ago.

At that time, Dark Rising was stealthily conducting its business under the noses of All Gods.

After a major victory, Tremble and others’ confidence reached unprecedented heights.

Successfully killing three Level A Divine Power All Gods gave Tremble the illusion of invincibility; back then, he would shout every day about overthrowing the rule of All Gods.

Initially, the members of Dark Rising intended to maintain their prior conservative approach, choosing to advance slowly, as everyone worried about the effect of being too visible like the tallest tree in the forest that wind beats down, and feared the powerful foundation accumulated by All Gods over the years would be unshakable, so they planned to develop for decades before confronting All Gods.

Unfortunately, while the All Gods were scheming, Tremble found it increasingly easy to take victory, which made the warmongering faction increasingly disregard the All Gods, and more Dark Rising members leaned towards commencing the war early, leading to the full-scale counterattack half a year ago.

After exchanging glances with the Divination Genius, Dragon Queen sighed and forced a smile onto her face.

"Didn’t you mention this half a year ago? It’s a pity that I couldn’t convince enough people to share our conservative stance back then."

Dragon Queen’s smile contained three parts relief and seven parts helplessness.

This outcome did not surprise her.

When Dark Rising was still functioning properly, she did her job well every day, she believed she treated everyone fairly.

As for helplessness, that was genuine.

She believed she could lead Dark Rising members to reclaim lost territories.

For now, just stabilizing the situation and rebuilding the information system would be quite an achievement.

"These are minor issues. Living a life without occasional madness would be dull. Let’s focus on helping that old guy Gongshu De more. Finding Lin Yi is paramount."

The battle in the Celestial Human Dao battlefield is severely intense.

After the defense line was breached and arrays failed, Dark Rising’s warriors were struck with doubt about their purpose. Had Dragon Queen not arranged things properly, most of Desire Realm would have fallen into the hands of the All Gods.

This unforeseen major reversal not only plunged Dark Rising into chaos but also threw various factions of All Gods into disarray.

The most frantic are undoubtedly the factions of Odin and Zeus.

Among the various All Gods factions, aside from Spirit Crossing Mountain, they are the strongest.

They have always awaited the Immortal King to make a mistake.

In reality, even if mistakes aren’t made, it’s an opportunity.

The Desire Realm taken by Dark Rising Organization for a long time without action provides the best excuse to impeach his Immortal King position.

These two, to ensure their impeachment succeeds, have been busy recently, moving around to convince other divine beings to join their side, to bring down the Immortal King.

No one anticipated such a significant reversal within just two days.

Of course, on the All Gods side, there are losses, and the biggest sacrifice comes from Zeus and Odin’s factions.

"Damn, that Immortal King must have done it intentionally. Out of all the celestial divine beings in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, how did ours get relocated suddenly? Just two days! I’ve lost three trusted subordinates with Level B Divine Power! Damn it, this guy must have done it on purpose!"

Neither Odin nor Zeus managed to join the Desire Realm surprise attack.

They initially thought this was just a small skirmish orchestrated by the Immortal King.

They didn’t expect the Immortal King to actually achieve results and stir up such a commotion.

Calling it a major change in Three Realms and Six Paths is not an exaggeration.

With such significant actions from the Immortal King, naturally, the two couldn’t remain idle and promptly contacted and arranged a meeting.

At this meeting, Odin couldn’t help but start cursing.

Having schemed against the Immortal King for so long without much response, none foresaw that once he acted, he would achieve such stunning results.

With the Immortal King faction members overseeing the battle, it’s impossible for their subordinates to slack off or play tricks.

"Tell me about it, even Ares on my side died in this battle. The Immortal King could have deployed other teams, yet decided to target ours exclusively. What the hell does that mean!"

As they cursed, their emotions involuntarily intensified.

Once the agitation subsided, fear took over.

Were their prior movements still valid?

According to their prior plan, if the Immortal King continued to accomplish nothing, they would proceed with impeachment.

But now that the Immortal King has achieved so much, impeachment seems impossible.

It’s likely that previously allied divine beings would no longer stand by their side.

"What should we do now? The personnel we sent out are likely unrecoverable; that guy’s intentions are very clear. If we let him continue, the loss will be our own strength!"

Odin’s words resonated with Zeus’s understanding of reasoning.

But what choice does he have?
