The two Powerful Gods were shocked by the Otherworld's announcement and received more precise information from the Necromancer God's mouth.

The Lord of Spirits defeated the Purgatory God? How could this be possible?

Even if the Lord of Spirits had just achieved Ascension to Godhood, he could never be a match for the Purgatory God.

The two Powerful Gods almost didn't believe it, but the fact was that the Purgatory God had fallen, leaving them no room for doubt.

"Retreat!"

The two Powerful Gods made the decision almost simultaneously.

The Purgatory God was dead; the Powerful Gods dividing up the Blue Star had gone from three to two.

It seemed like they would get more, but they had to prevent outside Powerful Gods from coveting the Blue Star and fighting for the benefits they deserved.

Although they were hostile and wary of each other, they had been competitors for many years, and their struggles followed unspoken rules.

But it would be different if a new Powerful God joined halfway through.

In addition, they had to investigate the true cause of the Purgatory God's death.

As for the Necromancer God...

Now was not the time to deal with the Necromancer God; although this guy had reclaimed most of his power, he still wasn't qualified to sit at the table and compete with them for the Blue Star.

Furthermore, the circumstances of the Lord of Spirits' Ascension to Godhood also had to be investigated!

This guy's growth speed was simply too terrifying!

...

In the The Void outside the Firefly Forest.

As the Purgatory God was completely annihilated, those nineteen Mid-tier Gods slowly recovered from their shock.

They exchanged looks, the greed within them gradually vanishing, replaced by deep wariness and calculation.

The God of Bubbles, one of the leaders of the Alien God Alliance who had been peering from afar through bubbles, was the first to react.

His iridescent bubble body rippled slightly as he plucked up his courage and sent a clear, somewhat fawning Divine Sense wave toward Qi Ye's direction:

"Great God of Life, Lord of Spirits Your Majesty, please accept the most sincere respects and congratulations from me, the God of Bubbles."

"The same goes for us!"

The other Mid-tier Gods also forced out congratulatory smiles, as if they hadn't been the ones invading the Firefly Forest earlier.

Seeing this group of Alien Gods being arrogant before and humble now, Qi Ye only swept a cold gaze across them.

The latter trembled, yet they maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

Under the effect of emotional suppression, the Lord of Spirits' eyes were incomparably cold, looking at them as if they were corpses.

All the Alien Gods subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

In the current situation, this wasn't something that could be resolved by bringing two cartons of milk.

This newborn god already possessed the potential of a Powerful God; no one dared to offend him.

"Right, right, since we are here to congratulate you on your Ascension to Godhood, we naturally brought gifts."

The God of Rock seemed to grit his teeth and made a decision. He waved his hand, pulled over a rock dungeon from nearby, dismissed all the monster subordinates inside, and presented it to Qi Ye.

"Lord of Spirits, this is one of my Rank 9 dungeons. It has dungeon production and can yield high-strength Void Rock. I offer it to you as a gift for your Ascension to Godhood."

Seeing this, the God of Bubbles also hurriedly took out a Core Instance.

"Lord of Spirits, my Sky Island Instance is also Rank 9. It can be used as a residence for monsters and subordinates. Although living on Sky Island can't compare to your Firefly Forest, the space is enormous and can accommodate millions of monsters for unified deployment."

The other Alien Gods also suddenly realized what they had to do.

Enduring the heartache, they all ceded one of their Core Instances to give to Qi Ye.

"I have brought the Wasteland Instance, which produces high-quality desert monsters suitable for conquering dungeons!"

"I have brought the Ruins Instance, which can periodically produce high-level Experience Potions to increase experience!"

"And my Core Instance..."

...

Soon, nineteen dungeon light orbs were piled in front of Qi Ye. Control over these dungeons had been withdrawn, ready to welcome a new master.

These top-tier dungeons were free for the taking; it would be a waste not to.

Qi Ye didn't speak. With a sweep of his wings, he directly established a connection with these nineteen top-tier dungeon light orbs.

Despite their best efforts to endure it, every Alien God still showed a pained expression.

Every dungeon here was the result of thousands or even tens of thousands of years of hard work, yet the other party didn't seem to cherish them at all.

"Woof! You are all bad gods! I'm going to destroy you!" Da Huang's eyes were fierce, and a low warning growl came from the corner of his mouth.

"You group of bad gods!"

Little Spark also flapped her wings and shouted.

The God of Bubbles said sheepishly, "Forest Fire Phoenix, you are still young; it's normal not to understand. We aren't bad gods; we are simply acting according to the otherworld rules."

Only the Saint Dragon on the side remained silent, merely scrutinizing the Alien Gods present.

With their strength combined with the Lord of Spirits, they actually couldn't kill these Alien Gods in the The Void.

Qi Ye's current true Divine Power far exceeded his Level 5 status, but he had only roughly touched the threshold of a Powerful God.

These members of the Alien God Alliance were all prepared to flee at any moment, and the distance they maintained was just right; if they really wanted to run, they couldn't be stopped.

Moreover, everyone was in the same void plane and had no backing; they would likely meet again, and no one wanted to truly sour the relationship and invite retaliation.

In particular, the Lord of Spirits' performance in the previous battle was too brilliant; he would surely become a Powerful God in the future.

This made the Alien God Alliance hope that the matter could be resolved now; the longer it was delayed, the more dangerous it would be for them.

The emotional suppression brought by Rationality Recovery was still in effect. Qi Ye calculated the pros and cons with absolute calmness, observing the state of every Alien God.

He had already seen through the little schemes in the hearts of these Mid-tier Gods.

Qi Ye spoke, "Da Huang, Little Spark, be quiet."

As he had officially achieved Ascension to Godhood, he naturally needed some subordinate gods to assist him, provide intelligence, expand territory, and so on.

And these uninvited wild Mid-tier Gods fit that condition perfectly.

The members of the Alien God Alliance didn't dare to move at all, seemingly for fear that Qi Ye would attack them.

Not until Qi Ye nodded slightly did these members of the Alien God Alliance feel as if they had been granted a great pardon, fleeing the place one after another as streaks of light.

Only the God of Bubbles and the God of Rock remained on the scene.

Just as Qi Ye expected, the two Alien Gods seemed to have more to say.

"Previously, our Alien God Alliance was coerced by the Purgatory God and caused much offense. It was truly out of necessity. We hope the Great God of Life can let bygones be bygones."

"I wish to represent myself and hope to establish a friendly connection with you. The void is vast; having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy, wouldn't you say?"

In the God of Bubbles' transmission, he attached a unique void coordinate fluctuation representing his own mark, equivalent to leaving contact information.

Beside him, the God of Rock also slightly lowered his mountain-like divine body, expressing the same intention and leaving a coordinate.

His stance was even more direct than the God of Bubbles', indicating that as long as Qi Ye wanted to form a faction, he was inclined to join Qi Ye's faction directly.

Qi Ye calmly received the information sent by the two Mid-tier Gods and stated he would consider the matter.

The two Mid-tier Gods immediately showed expressions of joy and left the scene as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
