Chapter 1654

Go inform the Shèngzhǔ about this first.

Ye Changqing spoke, speechless, yet upon hearing this, the star bandit leader grew serious and said.

"Ye Zhangqing said with a speechless expression, but upon hearing this, the Space Pirate leader nevertheless said with a serious face." Need natural: "Ye Zhangqing spoke with a speechless look, yet hearing this, the Space Pirate leader replied with a solemn expression."

Brother Ye, this isn't a joke; the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace are definitely coming for real this time. I see that the star warship is blotting out the sky—clearly they've come out in full force. We need to prepare early.

"Ye brother, this is no joke; the demon tribe and the Human Emperor Palace are definitely coming for real this time. I see that Star Battleship blotting out the sky—surely they've mobilized their entire force. We need to prepare early."

From his tone, the star bandit leader already sees himself as a person of the Haotu world.

"From his tone, the Space Pirate leader already regards himself as a person of Haotu World."

However, upon hearing this, Ye Changqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Though that's what was said and the reasoning is sound, the problem is...

"However, upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Though that's what he said and the reasoning stands, the problem is........"

We need to keep the ellipsis as is? The Chinese has "............." maybe eight dots. We'll keep same number? Probably keep as "........". We'll output same.

Go tell the Shèngzhǔ about this; it's not my business.

"First go tell the Shèngzhǔ about this; it's not my responsibility."

I naturally know the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace are definitely coming for real this time; after all, we've suffered so many losses, and they've been driven to desperation.

"He certainly knows the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace are truly coming this time, after all they've suffered many losses and have been driven to desperation."

But why are you telling me this first? I'm just an elder in charge of the cafeteria; you should be informing the Shèngzhǔ Qi Xiong and Yun Xiantai, not me—what's the point?

"But why are you telling me this first? I'm just an Elder in charge of the Canteen. You should go tell the Shèngzhǔ, Qi Xiong, and Yun Xiantai instead of coming to me."

After saying that, Ye Changqing turned and went back to the cookhouse to get busy, while the star bandit leader scratched his head, looking doubtful.

"Having said that, Ye Zhangqing turned and went back to the cookhouse to busy himself, while the Space Pirate leader scratched his head, looking doubtful."

With such a big matter, Brother Ye, aren't you even a little anxious?

"With such a big matter, aren't you the least bit anxious, Ye brother?"

As for how to resist and how to deploy, Ye Changqing believes Qi Xiong and the others will definitely handle it well.

"How to resist, how to deploy—Ye Zhangqing believes Qi Xiong and the others will surely handle it well."

Moreover, such a big matter certainly can't be kept hidden.

"Moreover, such a big matter certainly cannot be kept hidden."

That afternoon, after lunch, Qi Xiong and Yun Xiantai personally invited the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Netherworld Old Ancestor.

"That afternoon, after lunch, Qi Xiong and Yun Xiantai personally invited the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor."

They informed the two of the news that the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace were launching a major assault.

"They informed the two of the news that the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace were launching a major assault."

Upon hearing this news, the two ancestors showed no change in expression; the Netherworld Old Ancestor spoke calmly.

"Upon hearing the news, the two ancestors showed no change in expression; the Nether Clan Old Ancestor spoke calmly."

They'll come sooner or later.

"It was bound to come sooner or later."

And the Eternal Night Old Ancestor said with a smile.

"And the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, smiling, said:"

They've come even earlier than I imagined; I thought I could still relax for a while, but it seems those two old fellows have really been driven to desperation.

"It came earlier than I imagined; I thought we could still relax for a while, but it seems those two old fellows have indeed been driven to desperation."

In response, the Netherworld Old Ancestor didn't reply; at this moment he still felt a bit stifled inside.

"Regarding that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor didn't respond; at this moment he still felt a bit stifled inside."

We need to keep punctuation. The Chinese ends with "still felt a bit stifled inside." We'll translate as "still felt a bit stifled inside."

Scarcely had we allied with the Dao Yi Holy Land when the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace launched a major assault.

"Just after forming an alliance with Dao Yi Shengdi, the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace launched a major assault."

If he had known it would be like this, he would have had to reconsider; after all, this time the demon race's old ancestor and the Human Emperor Palace's old ancestor, as the Eternal Night Old Ghost said.

"If he had known it would be like this, he would have needed to reconsider, after all this time the demon tribe's Old Ancestor and the Human Emperor Palace's Old Ancestor, as the Eternal Night Old Ghost said."

But "Eternal Night Old Ghost" is not in the glossary; we need to translate its meaning: "Eternal Night Old Ghost". However, "old ghost" is a colloquial term meaning "old bastard"? Might be a nickname. Since it's not in the glossary, we translate its meaning. But we need to check if it's a name used habitually? It's likely a nickname for Yongye Lao Zu? Actually "Eternal Night Old Ghost" maybe a teasing name for Eternal Night Old Ancestor. Since it's not in the glossary, we translate its meaning. We'll keep as is.

They really have been driven to desperation; that means they'll fight to the death.

"They have indeed been driven to desperation, meaning they will fight to the death."

Hardly had we allied when we must fight to the death against the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace; the Netherworld Old Ancestor just feels uneasy about it.

"Just after forming the alliance, they have to fight desperately against the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace; the Nether Clan Old Ancestor just feels uneasy about it."

Seeing the Netherworld Old Ancestor silent, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor seemed to guess what he was thinking, looked at him with a smile and said.

"Seeing the Nether Clan Old Ancestor silent, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor seemed to guess what he was thinking, smiling as he looked at him and said:"

You old fool, you're not thinking of backing out, are you?

"You old fellow, you wouldn't be thinking of backing out, would you?"

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Old Ancestor startled, then let out a cold snort and said.

"Hearing this, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor startled, then let out a cold snort and said:"

What do you think I am?

"What do you take me for?"

We've just finalized the alliance; the Netherworld Old Ancestor naturally wouldn't back out. Of course, if the war goes badly, he wouldn't sacrifice the Netherworld's future; he'd likely just flee.

"Having just sealed the alliance, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor naturally couldn't back out; of course, if the war goes badly, he wouldn't sacrifice the Nether Clan's future, he'd likely just flee."

But everything will have to wait until the fighting starts.

"But everything will have to wait until the fighting begins."

Moreover, with the Eternal Night on our side, we won't be at a disadvantage against the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace.

"Moreover, with Yongye beside them, facing the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace they won't be at a disadvantage."

Furthermore, although the Haotu world lacks a supreme ancestor to hold sway, its strength is not to be underestimated; it is also a formidable force.

"Furthermore, although Haotu World lacks an Ancestor-level expert holding the fort, its combat strength is not to be underestimated; it is also a formidable force."

With the three sides joining forces, we should be able to gain the upper hand.

"With the three sides joining forces, they should be able to gain the upper hand."

The Netherworld Old Ancestor was calculating in his mind; of course, he wouldn't show it on the surface—he still wanted to save face.

"The Nether Clan Old Ancestor was calculating in his mind; of course, he wouldn't show it on the surface—he still wanted to save face."

Upon hearing the Netherworld Old Ancestor's reply, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor chuckled and said.

"Upon hearing the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's reply, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor chuckled and said:"

Then let's prepare early.

"Then let's make preparations early."

Since the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace are coming with great might, our Eternal Night and Netherworld forces must also begin preparations.

"Since the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace are coming with great force, Yongye and the Nether Clan must also begin preparations."

The strong warriors of both forces must all rush to the Haotu world.

"The strong warriors of both major powers must also all rush to Haotu World."

Upon hearing that, the Netherworld Old Ancestor nodded, and the two simultaneously took out transmission talismans to contact their respective subordinates.

"Upon hearing that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor nodded, and then both simultaneously took out their Chuānyīn fú to start contacting their respective subordinates' strong warriors."

The Eternal Night actually has quite a number of strong warriors at the Dao Yi Holy Land, and they are all elite members of the Eternal Night organization.

"Yongye currently has a considerable number of strong warriors at Dao Yi Shengdi, and they are all elite members of the Yongye organization."

For example, the four hall masters have all gathered at the Dao Yi Holy Land.

"For example, the four hall masters have all now gathered at Dao Yi Shengdi."

But this is clearly not the full strength of the Eternal Night; relying only on this to deal with the provoked demon race and Human Emperor Palace is definitely unrealistic.

"But this is obviously not Yongye's full strength; relying solely on this to deal with the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace, who have been driven to desperation, is certainly unrealistic."

As for the Netherworld, it's even more so—there were originally few strong warriors in the Haotu world, so advance preparation is even more needed.

"As for the Nether Clan, it's even more so—there were originally few strong warriors in Haotu World, so they need to prepare even earlier."

Following the orders of the two ancestors, the Eternal Night and Netherworld quickly sprang into action.

"Following the orders of the two ancestors, Yongye and the Nether Clan also swiftly sprang into action."

Within the Netherworld Realm, a Netherworld Emperor who had attained perfection received the Netherworld Old Ancestor's transmission; at first he wore a doubtful expression.

"Within the Nine Nether Realm, a Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign-level expert, after receiving the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's message, first wore a doubtful expression."

Wasn't it just supposed to go take a look? How did we end up forming an alliance?

"Wasn't it just supposed to go take a look? How did we end up forming an alliance?"

The Netherworld strong warrior knew the ancestor was heading to the Haotu world, but at the moment of departure, the ancestor said he was just going to take a look.

"The Old Ancestor's trip to Haotu World was known to this Nether Clan expert, but when he was about to leave, the Old Ancestor had only said he was going to take a look."

But now the ancestor has ordered him to gather the Netherworld warriors and rush to the Haotu world as soon as possible to counter the demon race and Human Emperor Palace's attack.

"But now, the Old Ancestor has ordered him to gather the Nether Clan's strong warriors and rush to Haotu World as soon as possible to counter the demon tribe and Human Emperor Palace's attack."

He also briefly explained the alliance.

"He also briefly explained the alliance matter."

For a moment, the Netherworld Emperor felt dazed—had we really just formed an alliance?

"For a moment, this Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign was dazed—had the alliance already been formed?"

But since the ancestor gave the order, he naturally couldn't disobey, and quickly issued the mobilization order.

"But since the Old Ancestor gave the order, he naturally couldn't disobey, and soon issued the command to muster."

The Netherworld Realm, as one of the top worlds among all heavens, can be said to be the Netherworld's sole domain, just as the demon race's domain is the demon realm.

"The Nine Nether Realm, as one of the top worlds among the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, can be said to be the Nether Clan's sole domain, just as the demon tribe's domain is the Demon Realm."

The vast Netherworld Realm now, at its very center, stands a towering, straight mountain piercing the clouds—this is the Netherworld's so‑called Holy Mountain.

"The vast Nine Nether Realm, at its very center now stands a towering, straight mountain peak piercing the clouds—this is what the Nether Clan call their Holy Mountain."

It is also the residence of the Netherworld Old Ancestor and the core Netherworld strong warriors; the entire Netherworld must obey all orders issued from the Holy Mountain.

"It is also the residence of the Nether Clan Old Ancestor and numerous Nether Clan core strong warriors; the entire Nether Clan must obey all orders transmitted from the Holy Mountain."

But today, suddenly, a peal of bell sounds rang out from atop the Holy Mountain.

"But today, suddenly, from atop the Holy Mountain, a peal of bell sounds suddenly rang out."

The bell sound quickly spread to every corner of the Netherworld Realm; obviously, the great bell that emitted it is also a treasure.

"The bell sound quickly spread to every corner of the Nine Nether Realm; evidently, the great bell emitting the sound is also a treasure."

Upon hearing the bell, the Netherworld strong warriors throughout the Netherworld Realm each stopped what they were doing, looked up with strange expressions toward the direction of the Holy Mountain.

"Upon hearing the bell, the Nether Clan strong warriors throughout the Nine Nether Realm each stopped what they were doing, glanced up with strange expressions toward the direction of the Holy Mountain."

The Holy Bell has rung—what major event has occurred?

"The Holy Bell has rung—what major event has occurred?"

The Holy Bell, for the Netherworld, is only rung when a major event occurs; under normal circumstances no one dares to strike it arbitrarily.

"The Holy Bell, for the Nether Clan, is only rung when a major event occurs; normally no one dares to strike it casually."

Not even an Emperor‑level strong warrior can do so.

"Not even an Emperor Sovereign-level expert may do so."

Moreover, the bell sounds came one after another, and soon they rang.

Nine tolls of the holy bell, and the faces of all Nether Clan powerhouses grew solemn, signifying that the Nether Clan faced a matter of life and death.

In an instant, from every corner of the Nine Nether Realm, one could see countless Nether Clan powerhouses rushing toward the direction of the Holy Mountain.

Among them were more than twenty Emperor Sovereign powerhouses, plus Great Emperor powerhouses, Great Saints, and Saints.

Besides that, even more Nether Clan members set out for the Holy Mountain in an organized manner.

The nine tolls of the holy bell are no joke; no Nether Clan dares to take it lightly.

At the peak of the Holy Mountain stood two perfected Emperor Sovereign powerhouses of the Nether Clan, and one of them spoke softly.

The Old Ancestor formed an alliance with the Haotu Shijie without even a greeting, and directly went up against the Demon Clan and the Human Emperor Palace—this matter has been...............

The timing of this alliance is somewhat off.

Another spoke up in agreement, saying that having just formed the alliance, to immediately face the Demon Clan and the Human Emperor Palace, no matter how you look at it, this shouldn't be a decision the Old Ancestor could make.
