"Are you sure?"
Athena looked at Yun Fan doubtfully.
Yun Fan said, "I'm sure!"
"Alright, you don't have to die!"
She threatened Yun Fan, "If you're lying, I promise you'll die a miserable death!"
Yun Fan knew this woman was not to be trifled with, so he planned to stabilize the situation first.
Afterward, he was released.
"You're coming with me!"
Athena said, "Infiltrate Zhenwu Divine Palace with me to investigate. If it's as you say, you'll have performed a meritorious deed, and I'll allow you to join my ranks!"
Yun Fan was surprised that Athena was actually taking this seriously, but it didn't matter. He also wanted to investigate the secrets of the gods.
With a stronger Athena now, his safety was further guaranteed.
Even if the investigation failed, he had a way to escape, so no matter how he looked at it, he wouldn't lose.
At this moment, he asked Athena, "To prevent me from escaping, aren't you going to place a seal on me?"
He said this to further alleviate Athena's doubts.
However, Athena said, "No need. With your strength, trying to escape from me is no different from seeking death!" Su Dan Novel Network
Alright! It seemed Athena was very confident in her strength, and she indeed had the capability.
After all, Athena was a powerhouse in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm. During the decline of the gods, Athena's strength was already considerable.
Even among the gods, she was second only to the Dragon God and Great Emperor Zhenwu.
Of course, above these two, there was an even stronger existence, who was the actual ruler among the gods, and that was the Emperor.
The Emperor was an absolute top-tier existence among the gods, but he hadn't appeared since the War of the Gods.
Both the Dragon God and Great Emperor Zhenwu were his subordinates.
However, the Dragon God and Great Emperor Zhenwu were not on good terms, the reason being that both of these great god-level existences wanted to control the other's forces.
At this moment, Athena said to Yun Fan, "This time, we are secretly infiltrating Zhenwu Divine Palace. You'd better not play any tricks!"
"Understood!"
Yun Fan nodded, being very sensible.
Afterward, the two left the divine hall.
On the road, they rarely spoke, mainly because he was unfamiliar with the God Realm. If he spoke too much and Athena became suspicious, it would be bad.
Athena was also somewhat perplexed because she noticed that Yun Fan seemed unfamiliar with the God Realm.
Being cautious, she had tested Yun Fan to see if he was that Demon Ancestor, but after several tests, she found that Yun Fan had no demonic aura on him.
So, she finally felt at ease.
Although the God Realm was vast, they were both gods, so in less than a day, they arrived at the distant Zhenwu Divine Palace.
The two infiltrated the territory of Zhenwu Divine Palace. To say they infiltrated is more like sneaking in, mainly because Athena's appearance was too conspicuous.
Even though they were gods, warriors in the Mahayana realm did not have the ability to alter their appearance.
At this moment, Athena said to Yun Fan, "Since you are from Zhenwu Divine Palace, you should know the Demon Ancestor's hiding place. Now it's time for you to lead the way!"
Yun Fan was instantly dumbfounded. He knew where the Demon Ancestor was; he was the Demon Ancestor.
Seeing Yun Fan hesitate, Athena immediately pointed her weapon at him.
"Are you trying to trick me?"
Athena said, "I can tell you are not as familiar with Zhenwu Divine Palace as I am?"
Yun Fan said awkwardly, "Don't be agitated, of course, I'm not tricking you. However, I only joined Zhenwu Divine Palace not too long ago, so I don't know where their forbidden area is. I clearly heard that day that they brought the Demon Ancestor into the forbidden area!"
"After all, the Demon Ancestor's identity is too special, and it's not allowed for outsiders to discover it. Only in the forbidden area is it the safest!"
It was evident that Athena no longer believed Yun Fan. She was the Goddess of War, but that didn't mean she was foolish.
At this moment, she said to Yun Fan, "If the Demon Ancestor is not in the forbidden area as you say, you'll await death!"
Afterward, Athena held a demigod from Zhenwu Divine Palace hostage, and under her interrogation, this demigod revealed the location of the forbidden area.
Then, Athena directly ended the other party's life.
"Holy crap!"
Yun Fan was startled. He thought that although the gods were not harmonious and united, they wouldn't kill their own people.
He didn't expect them to kill their own kin when they were ruthless.
"What are you looking at!"
Athena threatened, "You'd better pray that what you said is true, otherwise, your fate will be worse than his!"
"Don't worry, I won't lie!"
Yun Fan said calmly, "Go and see for yourself in the forbidden area!"
At this moment, he was calculating in his heart how much confidence he had in escaping from Athena's grasp.
When he calculated, he realized the probability was very low, because he and Athena were not on the same level at all.
Afterward, the two arrived at the forbidden area of Zhenwu Divine Palace. When they saw the layers of guards, Athena frowned.
Because she had already sensed the approximate strength of the guards in the forbidden area.
Setting aside the low-level combat power, the Mahayana realm combat power was not weak, with at least eight individuals. Among them, one was at the same level as her.
But their combat power was definitely not as good as hers, after all, there was a gap between gods.
She already knew the identity of the other party, which was the strongest subordinate of Great Emperor Zhenwu, the War God Taiyi.
She was very aware of the War God Taiyi's strength; he was not her opponent, as they had clashed several times before, and she had emerged victorious each time.
At this moment, she said to Yun Fan, "Let's go!"
Before Yun Fan could react, Athena brought him into the forbidden area.
Upon entering the forbidden area, they did not see what they expected, but they accidentally uncovered a secret of the forbidden area.
At this moment, three god-level powerhouses were imprisoned here, but their strength had been sealed, making them lambs to the slaughter.
Athena's eyes revealed a hint of confusion when she saw this. These three gods all came from one place, which was called the Anti-God Alliance.
This Anti-God Alliance was a unique faction in the God Realm. They were dissatisfied with the gods' destruction of the Demon Ancestor.
They were also dissatisfied with the gods' rule and even more so with the gods' dealings with the uncanny beings. Therefore, their alliance operated between the gods and the uncanny beings, opposing both factions.
Although both the gods and the uncanny beings had tried to destroy this alliance, due to the alliance's mysterious whereabouts and the treasure they possessed for opening up small worlds,
they were usually impossible to find.
Unexpectedly, three gods from the Anti-God Alliance were imprisoned within this forbidden area.
It seemed there was a big problem here.
At this moment, War God Taiyi arrived before these three.
One of the gods weakly said, "Taiyi, stop wasting your effort. We will not reveal the location of our alliance. Kill us if you have the guts!"
These three gods were very united. Even though they might perish themselves, they remained unified.
War God Taiyi sneered after hearing this, "It's just a dying alliance. It doesn't matter if you say it or not. However, I'm not here for that today!"
"What do you want to do?"
The three gods looked at War God Taiyi with confusion.
War God Taiyi opened a box, which contained three forces of the uncanny.
"Of course, I'm going to transform you into uncanny slaves to fight for my Zhenwu Divine Palace!"
As soon as he said this, Yun Fan and Athena's expressions changed.
Especially Athena, although she was the foremost female war god under the Dragon God, she was very opposed to the alliance between the gods and the uncanny beings.
She didn't expect that in the forbidden area of Zhenwu Divine Palace, War God Taiyi would experiment on these three gods.
In Yun Fan's opinion, this was playing with fire and courting disaster. The gods were becoming more and more decadent.
For War God Taiyi, there were not so many concerns. Among the same realms, the uncanny beings were much stronger than the gods.
They had been researching the secrets of the uncanny beings. If they could transform these three into slaves as powerful as the uncanny beings, his experiment would succeed.
Then Zhenwu Divine Palace would have another means to crush the Dragon God Palace.
The three gods immediately cursed, "War God Taiyi, you are playing with fire and courting disaster. By allying with the uncanny beings, one day, you will be completely consumed by them!"
However, Taiyi was unfazed, "You don't need to worry about that. As long as we can successfully transform you, one day, the uncanny beings will submit to our feet!"
Let alone these three gods, even Yun Fan felt that War God Taiyi had gone mad. How terrifying was the power of the uncanny beings?
The gods were almost annihilated, yet they still wanted to control the power of the uncanny beings.
Of course, Yun Fan did not make a move to rescue them, as with his strength, if he intervened, he would surely die.
Athena's eyes were cold. When had the gods reached such a point of having no bottom line? It was simply beyond her comprehension.
In the mythological era, she rose in the West and came to the God Realm, but the God Realm was not the paradise she had imagined.
Over the years, she had witnessed everything the gods had done, but she could not change anything and could only go with the flow.
At this moment, she asked Yun Fan, "Do you think they can succeed in the transformation?"
"No!"
Yun Fan said, "No one understands the uncanny beings better than I do. Just wait! Their retribution will come soon!"
"You seem to understand the uncanny beings very well?"
Athena looked at Yun Fan coldly.
Yun Fan quickly explained, "I have seen the horrors of the uncanny beings, so I know a little about them!"
Just then, War God Taiyi injected three forces of the uncanny into the bodies of the three gods.
Instantly, the three gods let out painful roars, and then they began to riot.
Yun Fan said calmly, "Retribution has arrived!"
Just as Athena was confused, suddenly, with the enhancement of the uncanny forces, the three infected gods broke free from their restraints and attacked War God Taiyi.
