Chapter 691

"Gods of the Fate Lineage!"

Zhang Jingzhong's eyebrows twitched.

In the City of Gods, if one were to ask which lineage of gods is most feared,

then without a doubt—

it is the Fate Lineage!

The methods of the Fate Lineage gods are far too eerie.

"Uncle Song."

The young girl nodded slightly toward Song Junhao.

A tranquil aura emanated, making everyone's hearts feel as if they had settled into peace.

In the next moment—

she took a step and appeared beside Song Junhao, in the spot specially left for her.

She sat down slowly.

All her movements appeared tranquil and indifferent.

There was a purity of non-contention with the world.

The gods watched silently.

No one spoke.

They looked at Song Junhao.

None of them were fools.

The arrival of the Goddess of True Knowledge, who had never shown herself until now—

certainly was not simply to make a casual acquaintance with them.

"Everyone."

Song Junhao's expression was solemn as he glanced around at the crowd:

"The Immortal Continent is riddled with crises."

"In the past twenty years, the number of our members who have fallen has already exceeded three hundred."

"Three hundred?"

The gods of the Earth Star were shocked.

A chill rose in their hearts.

Previously—

though they knew many gods of the Earth Star had fallen,

but—

they only knew those they recognized, those familiar to them.

There had never been an exact number.

And now—

the cold, hard three hundred made their hearts feel heavy.

Counting everyone here,

there are only a little over a thousand gods!

Twenty years—

nearly thirty percent have fallen!

Even Zhang Jingzhong felt a bit of goosebumps.

Far too many have fallen!

"Now that everyone is here,"

"in order to survive in this world riddled with crises,"

"even—"

"to kindle the Divine Flame and raise the Divine Realm high,"

"I propose forming a close alliance to help and support one another."

Song Junhao spoke slowly, his face solemn and his voice heavy.

"An alliance..."

"is not impossible, but who shall be the alliance leader?"

The gods nodded.

A single chopstick can be snapped with a casual hand.

But a hundred chopsticks together are hard for an ordinary mortal to snap.

"Naturally, it is the Goddess of True Knowledge."

Song Junhao stated openly:

"The Goddess of True Knowledge is now a Fifth-Stage Bai Yin Demigod!"

"Among us, who can compare?"

"... Fifth-Stage Bai Yin Demigod?!"

The gods were stunned.

Looking at the young girl sitting tranquilly, a touch of awe unconsciously appeared in their eyes.

Among them—

there is not even a Fourth-Stage Bai Yin Demigod!

"And—"

Song Junhao surveyed the gods.

"The Goddess of True Knowledge is a Fate-tier deity; her master is even a lower-tier True God of Fate."

"Power, background."

"Both far surpass us."

"She naturally should become the Alliance's leader."

"What do you all think?"

The gods fell silent.

Each one's mind raced wildly, calculating gains and losses.

"I agree—the Goddess of True Knowledge as leader."

Not long after.

A god spoke up.

They were all gods; none were fools.

The Alliance's benefits vastly outweigh its drawbacks—they all knew this.

Standing together offered far greater protection against risk than acting alone!

Quickly.

Many gods began voicing their agreement.

Having a leader with both great power and strong background was vastly superior to any other god!

"I object."

Yet—

A calm voice rang out.

Zhang Jingzhong rose slowly.

The aura of his Fifth Transmutation Bai Yin Demigod Realm, no longer concealed, bore directly upon the Goddess of True Knowledge:

"You and I are of the same rank—you cannot command my respect."

"I have a far more suitable candidate for leader."

"Born on Earth, now—"

"Ninth Transmutation Golden Bai Yin Demigod Realm!"

At these words,

The entire hall was stunned into silence.
