"Didn't you hear me?! You've gone too far!
We have nothing to do with you! Go to the Novel Court if you want your revenge!"
An angry voice came from within the Heavenly Elephant Universe Community.
"Seven! Eight!"
However, the genuine divine god just continued counting, ignoring what the member of the Heavenly
Elephant Universe Community said. Every number was told in a deafening sound that shook the void.
At the same time, the army of the alliance outside just stood firmly.
All of the warriors were armed with sharp spears and swords and were ready to charge forward as
soon as the count reached ten.
Every warrior gave off an intimidating aura that could easily suffocate ordinary people.
The creatures inside the universe community were all trembling in fear and didn't know what would
happen to them.
The truth was the heavenly elephant race was very powerful.
They were not to be trifled with in the Sea of Chaos.
Among them, they had over a thousand divine gods.
And from these divine gods, there were dozens of genuine ones.
Their most powerful warrior was a genuine premium-grade divine god.
Then, there were also about a dozen genuine medium-grade divine gods.
At this moment, while the alliance's army was outside their territory, over a thousand divine gods of the
Heavenly Elephant Universe Community began to gather together.
As they convened, the genuine premium-grade divine god stood in their midst.
He was the patriarch of the heavenly elephant race.
"Patriarch, what should we do? I don't think they're joking. They're really going to attack us if we don't
give in to their demands."
"Shall we surrender or fight?"
"The Novel Court isn't even answering! Are they just going to leave us to die?
Why aren't they sending any reinforcement?"
The divine gods anxiously expressed their concerns.
However, even their patriarch was at a loss for words. He stayed silent and didn't seem like he could
come up with any solution.
"Patriarch, we need to come up with a decision right away.
I think we only have two options right now. Surrender or fight.
After that genuine divine god finishes counting, their entire army will start invading us,"
a tall old man with gray hair reminded the patriarch.
"Our race is caught up in the middle of the Novel Court and the alliance. This is such a huge crisis..."
The patriarch couldn't help but shake his head as he let out a deep sigh.
"We all know that. Because we're the inferior group, and we're always the ones to suffer.
But we have already reached a point where our very existence is at stake. We can't dilly-dally anymore.
We have to make a stand and come up with a decision,"
the old man with gray hair rebutted.
"Well, we have no other choice.
We need to give in.
Let's just get through this first, and then we'll execute the necessary actions depending on what will
happen next.
The alliance is now standing up to the six super forces. There will be huge changes and a fierce battle
for hegemony. We, as the weaker force, will be inevitably caught up in this.
That's why we have to be very cautious about our every action,"
the patriarch explained and finally made a decision.
"Prepare a lot of resources and treasures. Open our door and welcome the army of the alliance. We
must apologize and give them what they want. Since the Novel Court has abandoned us, we don't
need to worry about them for the moment,"
the patriarch said in a resolute voice.
"Patriarch... Is this your final decision?"
All of the divine gods of the heavenly elephant race looked at the patriarch intently.
Of course, they were worried about their lives, but somehow, they couldn't shake the feeling of
upholding their pride.
Once they surrendered to the alliance, the heavenly elephant race would be the first one in the entire
Sea of Chaos to do so. After this, they would always be branded as cowards and no one might take
them seriously.
"I know what you're thinking. But if we don't do this, our race will be exterminated.
Do you think we have other choices? What is more important to you?"
The patriarch's gaze slowly swept across the faces of the senior leaders.
Everyone fell silent.
Deep inside, they knew that the patriarch was right.
They would achieve nothing if they kept being stubborn. This was already a matter of life and death.
The army of the alliance was already at their doorstep. If they chose to fight, death was the only thing
that awaited them.
Before, the heavenly elephant race took pride that they were under the Novel Court. It meant that at
times like this, they should expect their protection.
However, until now, the army of the Novel Court hadn't shown up.
The only logical reason behind it was that even the Novel Court was afraid to take the alliance head-on.
"We understand.
This is the only choice we have.
We should prioritize the survival of our race first.
Our race has enjoyed a long history in the Sea of Chaos. We can't let it be destroyed in our generation,
or we won't be able to face our ancestors.
We will become the worst generation and the sinners of our race."
The other divine gods quickly agreed and also made up their minds.
"Nine! Ten!"
Finally, the genuine divine god outside the Heavenly Elephant Universe Community finished counting.
The time limit that they had set was over.
At the same time, in the chaotic void near the universe community, several creatures went out and
came to spectate.
They were waiting if the heavenly elephant race would dare to go against the alliance.
Recently, the alliance had already become very famous in the Sea of Chaos. They were a rapidly rising
super force and all of their actions were eye-catching.
As the news spread that they had come to the Heavenly Elephant Universe Community, countless
creatures were intrigued as to what would happen.
"What do you think the heavenly elephant race will do?"
"I think they'll give in. They can't win against the alliance. It's suicide."
"But isn't it strange?
There hasn't been any movement in the Heavenly Elephant Universe Community even though the
genuine divine god has already finished counting."
"Maybe they have a plan to counter them.
Don't they have the support of the Novel Court? Maybe they're not afraid of taking on the alliance."
The creatures that were watching from the distance whispered to each other and guessed what would
happen.
"Still no answer, huh? Come on! Their time is up. Let's go inside!"
A loud and firm voice resounded from the alliance.
"Annihilate them!"
All of the warriors of the alliance shouted in unison. The turbulent sound waves they produced were
enough to shake the void within hundreds of millions of miles.
"Look!
The alliance is going to take action!"
"What a pity. The Heavenly Elephant Universe Community is doomed!"
The spectating creatures were thrilled at what was about to happen.
A horrifying massacre seemed to be unavoidable.
However, just before the alliance's army set out, a movement from within the universe community was
finally seen.
"Sirs, please calm down.
We apologize for being late, but we're actually here to give you our compensation."
A large number of divine gods rushed out of the Heavenly Elephant Universe Community and
welcomed the army of the alliance with a pleasing demeanor.
"We're deeply sorry for what we did before.
With that, please accept our apologies and gifts."
The patriarch of the heavenly elephant race himself stepped forward and bowed humbly.
Behind him, there were more than a thousand divine gods, and all of them followed their patriarch and
also bowed down.
"Are you seeing this? The Heavenly Elephant Universe Community has really surrendered!"
"Well, I've actually quite expected this to happen. They have no other choice. But still, this is
inconceivable."
Countless creatures were shocked at the gesture of the divine gods of the Heavenly Elephant Universe
Community.
Many of them had already assumed that they would surrender.
However, when they saw with their own eyes that the patriarch of the heavenly elephant race himself
led all the senior leaders to bow and apologize, they were all taken aback.
They couldn't start imagining how powerful the alliance was to make the other races acknowledge them
to such extent.
"These are the compensations that we have prepared for you. Please have a look."
The patriarch came forward and presented them a dozen Space Rings.
Then, a member of the alliance extended his sleeve and took the Space Rings.
"Humph! What is this?
Are you trying to make a fool out of us?
I can't see a shred of sincerity from these Space Rings!
Do you expect us to believe that this is all you can give in exchange for sparing your lives?"
The member of the alliance was strongly dissatisfied upon inspecting the contents of the Space Rings.
In his anger, he threw the Space Rings back to the patriarch.
