Not all of the Dragon Clan had gathered in front of the entrance to the "Divine Demon Gate." At least the Dragon Clan from The Divine Realm was still waiting for the Dragon Emperor's summons. Once I start summoning, Marutian will also take action.

The dragons presented themselves with their dragon forms, making me appear insignificant before them, but it's alright; they all need to cooperate with me.

As I looked up, the imposing presence of the Dragon Clan was truly awe-inspiring. It had been a long time since I had felt this way.

"I am the only one here who hasn't transformed into a dragon. My dragon body should be the one thing our enemies desire most. Until they obtain my dragon body, they will not want to end this world. But time is running out. I am asking for everyone's help because I love this place, I need you all, but do you need this place too? The answer is definite. Even the powerful Dragon Clan needs a world to sustain us. If we lose this place, where else can we go? Perhaps some of you have already remembered or will remember in the future the Dragon Realm that has ceased to exist. There is no way back there, and this place was once the origin of the Dragon Clan. Besides defending this place, you have no other choice."

Geirerofi stepped forward and said firmly, "Here, in front of the three Dragon Emperors, we can declare that even though you were exiled to some extent for violating the Dragon Clan's code, today you are innocent! The most important thing is whether we can survive."

The entire conversation was in the Dragon language, leaving the humans and gods who were facing off at a distance utterly confused. Several colossal dragons appeared at once, and at this moment, no one – human or deity – dared to make a move, perhaps contemplating shifting the battlefield.

The dragons were pardoned, but they accepted it calmly without much emotional fluctuation.

"Qin Yang, how will you use the holy artifact?" Elena, who was naturally composed, exuded even more wisdom after regaining her memories, seeing through countless things with her eyes.

"Put it back!" I raised my hand, and a crisp sound resonated between my two fingers. The "Divine Demon Gate" closed in response, with a figure appearing just before the gate completely shut.

"Elder Sister Xue'er?" Elena caught Xue'er gently, seeing the battle-worn traces on her and a dazed expression, which reminded Elena of Hisa.

"This is madness, all madness!"

"Calm down, Sister Xue'er!" Elena used magic to soothe Xue'er's emotions.

"It seems like The Divine Realm is in turmoil again," I said while observing the now-calm Xue'er.

After calming down, Xue'er recounted the events to us. About an hour ago, during countless lightning battles led by the Demon Kings, the people of The Divine Realm were in a state of panic. Over the years, the boundary between gods and demons had blurred, and the demon race had overcome the discomfort caused by The Divine Realm. The Divine Realm was deeply concerned that, using the internal emotions within The Divine Realm society, Hisa, with the support of the rescued elder generation of the gods, would launch a major reform movement, upholding the old laws of the gods to purge the dark side of the god race. At that time, Hisa led the team straight towards The Divine Realm's council chamber...

An hour ago, Hisa confronted Allan outside the council chamber once again.

Allan had now been elected by the senior gods to succeed Marutian and had obtained the highest executive power, issuing a new decree that required the lower-ranking gods to forcibly relocate to The Human Realm to reduce the negative forces in The Divine Realm and slow down the world's changes.

"Brother, the Brandt family you lead is truly powerful. You have control over the council and the sacred dragons." With a considerable amount of support from the gods, Hisa made his way to this point.

"The two Red and White Stick guys must have let you go last time, otherwise how could you be here opposing me, your big brother!" Alan's anger had reached its peak, behind him were the council and a group of high-ranking gods, and at this moment if the matter wasn't resolved quickly, it would affect the war in The Human Realm, but fortunately thanks to the dragons' battle, the war had temporarily ceased.

"I haven't been back for a short time, but this time when I toured The Human Realm, I realized that the god race should not continue to decline in this way. The old laws are necessary, and now we all understand its importance. It is our responsibility as the god race to bear the most just energy of the Three Realms. Only with our hearts being just, will The Divine Realm continuously generate the power of justice to support the Three Realms. The Three Realms do not need a second Demon Realm!"

"Are we The Demon Realm? Are we the demon race? We are much more disciplined than them, but they have more freedom than us. The Divine Realm should also aspire to freedom!"

"Freedom? Does freedom mean sheltering evil, using it to create evil weapons, will our energy increase significantly with freedom? It is precisely because we long for more freedom that our energy is decreasing, leading to this world above the clouds! We all hate this heavy cloud cover!"

Alan smiled bitterly, in his opinion, his younger brother did not need to say too much. Since they went their separate ways last time, it was clear that there was no need for further conversation.

The magical power between Hisa and Alan tore the cloud cover apart.

"Hisa, they may be angry now, but in terms of power, they still have the advantage. Now we can only force them to relinquish their power, which can only be done by declaring The Divine Realm..."

"Declare what? Our charming Miss Xue'er."

When Xue'er was about to suggest to Hisa to re-establish the regime on the foundation of the old laws, a humanoid mist appeared from within the clouds, gradually revealing a face.

"Marutian! You false being!" Hisa immediately recognized the true face within the mist, it was Marutian himself, but he looked somewhat different now, with murky yet powerful magic, making him weak but dangerous.

The gods were on guard against the appearance of this person, considering Marutian extremely dangerous regardless of which side they were on.

"Deceiving our god race for years, we regarded you as the true holy dragon, this is a great sin!" What Alan said at this moment seemed as if he had no idea, but in fact, he had known all along. They were once allies ruling The Divine Realm together, now he was ready to distance himself from everything.

Marutian circled behind Alan and said, "Do you think I came back to listen to your useless talk? Hehe, the greedy gods are under my control, heading towards the 'God-Demon Gate' to kill."

Strange things happened after Marutian finished speaking, gods from either side began to obey him and went on a killing spree towards the "God-Demon Gate."

"False holy dragon! What have you done?"

"Hisa, I have no interest in your political issues, in the end, it all turns to dust." Marutian pointed at Xue'er and said, "You should be worried about your people."

Hisa turned around to see the "possessed" gods attacking the uncontrolled gods, still not understanding what was happening, and his brother was the same. Even the pinnacle figures of the high-ranking gods were helpless to resist.

Geirerofi scratched his itchy armpit, looking as if he understood everything, and said, "It's soul gas, and it's been absorbed by the God Race for a long time. It's useless for just a day or two."

"Soul gas? What is it?" Snow didn't understand.

"It's the secretion of the Dragon Race, like the sweat under the armpits." I pointed to Geirerofi's armpit to explain, "This gas is not ordinary sweat, it's released into the target's body at intervals, slowly liberating their desires. Just when they are most excited pursuing their desires, their desires become a means of control."

"Uh... disgusting." Snow pinched her nose, but she was curious why she, Hisa, and part of the God Race were not being controlled.

"Soul gas has specific targeting. Your desires are not within his specified range, not to mention that controlling all the God Race like Marutian is currently doing is less profitable than controlling the leaders of the God Race."

"Oh, this is a great opportunity for The Demon Realm. Let the Ten Demon Kings strike them down." Coyalu couldn't sit still.

"Hehe, you stay here; let Snow take your place."

"What? I'm still young, father..."

Although disappointed, Coyalu followed the arrangement as requested. As for us, we planned to use spatial magic to send Snow back to the Othrie Empire first. The only way to defeat Marutian in The Divine Realm is to make those members of the God Race break free from the bondage of desire, which will be as painful as going through a "detox" process, depending on the willpower of those gods.

"No wonder father couldn't convince them no matter what. So hard to imagine that the gods would end up like this," Elena sighed. Lust made the Gods gradually become divided and bellicose. Are the Gods truly beyond redemption? This was the question she most wanted to ask now.

"Qin Yang, please make a decision soon. The gates of the God Race are about to be attacked, although I don't think the gates will suffer any substantial damage, I'm worried it might create some favorable opportunities for Marutian," Elena said. She wasn't worried that the gates, which had stood for millennia before humans, would be creatively breached by the God Race, but she was most afraid of any unforeseen circumstances.

"Elena, will it be effective if I put the sacred object back at the gate?"

"As long as you believe in Yuyuanqing, I have no objection."

"Do you still have thoughts about your former classmates?"

Elena directly admitted, "Not only were they our classmates, but also our principal's old friends and Marutian's contractees. She was eventually abandoned, feeling sorry for her. She's also a spy who came for you. If Marutian can't predict when she'll come find you again, isn't he the 'Time Dragon'? He's older than you. If he digs a hole for you, you're probably jumping right into it now."

"From your memories, everything aligns with what Yuyuanqing said. I can't verify if she's deceiving me at this last point. Perhaps in the future when I recall, I'll confirm the purpose of the 'sacred object' at the gate. My intuition tells me there's a reason to put it back there."

"Up to you, just don't let Marutian get hold of the 'sacred object' in the end." Elena took a step back. The door in front of her, closed for the first time in thirteen million years, suddenly trembled.

"Coyalu!"

"Don't rush, father. I've already informed the Nine Demon Kings to set off. Who knows how long they can hold out." Coyalu put his phone in his pocket. At this moment, someone was actually calling—it wasn't very demonic of them.

The trembling waves, the divine clan has attacked the gates.

I flew to the gates, and above the gates there was a slot, right at the position of the dragon's forehead carved on the gates. In an instant, a scene flashed through my mind, as if it was the first time I saw the image of the dragon of the previous spacetime, Monighos. Because it couldn't be seen by the naked eye but could be outlined by his magic power into a dragon shape, just like this one, so the image on the gates wasn't originally a decoration but his portrayal. In my memory, he was surprised by my existence, and also despised my existence, for I had taken over his body. Yet it was he who had willingly abandoned the body that was shining with golden light and revered by the masses. If I continued to recall, perhaps I could find a clue.

My hand involuntarily touched the gates, and I suddenly gasped.

"So, you are on the other side," said Marutian's voice; he was communicating with me from the end of The Divine Realm.

"I was wondering if you still had any tricks up your sleeve, now it's clear," I replied.

"These divine beings are truly foolish. Is it so easy for them to ally with me? By the way, have you seen the remnants of Yuanyuanqing?" Marutian asked.

"You know about it? Yes, it's impossible to hide it from you. She did tell me a lot, and I think I should trust her," I confessed.

"Oh? so quick to trust. Let me remind you, what she told you is what I told her. Only I know if it's trustworthy," Marutian emphasized.

"In that case, I believe her even more. Would you appear at this moment if not? Would you say these things to me? Monighos," I retorted.
