I Am OverlordI Am Overlord
It was common knowledge that aliens were powerful combatants. After they gained a foothold in the dominion, humanity attacked with all their strength, attempting to fully eliminate the aliens. As a result, the aliens formed an alliance with the devils, spreading much fear among humanity.
After all, humanity had been having a hard time uniting. They were never able to use all their strength against these two enemies. Now that their enemies had joined hands, would humanity still stand a chance?
Humans naturally wouldn't sit there and wait for their doom. They sent delegates to the various non-human races living in the dominion, hoping to work together with the non-human races against the two enemies. However, the non-human races did not agree to their request. After all, humanity had dominated the dominion for way too long and was never too friendly toward non-humans. And if humanity was desperate enough to call for their help, the non-humans naturally needed to consider whether it was even worth helping humanity.
In fact, they greatly welcomed the two enemies. If the aliens agreed, the non-humans even wished to become a part of the aliens. After all, the aliens came from countless planets, so there were numerous races among them. They would not discriminate against people of different races.
After failing to obtain the non-humans' help, humanity was forced to request help from the demonic beasts. Many of the human experts had mounts of powerful bloodlines. These mounts enjoyed a rather high status among the demonic beasts, so the humans wished to use their mounts to persuade the demonic beasts to help. So long as the demonic beasts agreed to help, the humans would be able to start an all-out war against the two attackers and drive them out of the dominion.
After all, the demonic beasts were no weaker than the humans. They had merely been scattered and disunited, resulting in some of them being turned into mounts for humans. But now, the demonic beasts had gathered into two main factions. The azure dragon and white tiger had taken the eastern and western parts of the dominion, forming two powerful beast armies. In fact, they were powerful enough that not even the devils were willing to provoke them for no reason.
One time, a devil army was passing through a mountain range when they decided to take the mountain range for themselves. As a result, an army of five thousand demonic beasts appeared and ate all the devils. That incident was the main reason why the devils no longer dared to provoke the demonic beasts.
The humans sent several beast tamers to the demonic beasts. These tamers were well-versed with beast language, and the knowledge of beast language allowed them to easily trick beasts into serving them for their own purposes.
Unfortunately, these tamers failed to persuade the beasts and were instead nearly eaten. Their failure finally made the Guardians Guild realize that the world had indeed fallen into chaos.
In response, the guild issued the highest-tier guardians token. The token was open for all humans at the God Realm or higher. So long as one made sufficient contribution, one would be able to gain one such token and become a guardian god.
At present, there were only five guardian gods in existence. The Guardians Guild had issued five highest-tier guardians tokens, hoping to provoke those old monsters who still stubbornly remained in seclusion to come out and fight for the dominion.
The highest-tier token was more than just a token. During critical moments, the holder of such a token could even deploy the personnel of the Guardians Guild. One would also be given generous rewards alongside the token, and the token holders would enjoy a supreme position in the dominion.
Finally, some old monsters appeared, giving humanity more hope against the various enemies they faced. However, the aliens had stopped their large-scale attacks after establishing a foothold in the dominion. Instead, they started consolidating the territory they had snatched and opened up dialogue with the devils.
Among the alien army was an undying devil called Mo Langhan. He was the strongest individual in the alien army. Today, he had gathered with the Nether Monarch of the Imperial Nether Clan; the Undying Devil Clan's patriarch, Mo Changsheng; and the Diabolic Dragon Clan's patriarch, Xie Chijing.
They were all devils, and when they gathered, they emanated a large amount of devilish energy. Not one of them was weaker than Eight Revolutions, with Mo Langhan being the only Nine Revolutions expert among them, the person closest to the Reincarnation Realm.
As the battle rune on Mo Langhan's forehead flickered, he looked at Mo Changsheng and smiled. "We are all from the same race. I believe you're aware of that. The Undying Devil Clan, Imperial Nether Clan, and a few other major races were the Myriad Planet Field's strongest imperial races. During antiquity, when we first tried to invade the dominion, we were defeated. You were all suppressed here. Our second invasion was during the distant past. We failed yet again, and more of us were suppressed.
"Our failures weren't because we were weaker. On the contrary, our races are much stronger than the human race. But every single time we invaded, a savior would emerge among the humans. Without fail, the savior would be a Reincarnation Realm expert. That is why we have failed repeatedly. This time, with you breaking free of the Devil Domain, we can definitely enslave the humans by working together."
Mo Langhan had concluded the history between the humans and the devils in a short but concise manner. It turned out the dominion had been invaded more than the one time during the distant past. During antiquity, they had already been invaded once. That was when the Devil Domain had come into existence.
During antiquity, the human champion was none other than the Dao Monarch, the first Reincarnation Realm expert in history. Had the Dao Monarch spared the devils out of kindness?
Of course not. He had only created the Devil Domain to leave a seed of hope for the devils. At the same time, he had planted a seed of crisis for the humans, hoping that it would push the humans to constantly better themselves. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before the devils conquered humanity.
The Dao Monarch had thus subjected the devils to eternal suppression to force humanity to strive unremittingly.
As for the invasion during the distant past, the Dao Monarch had long been missing. However, Venerable Yuan Shi had appeared and defeated the second invasion. It was during that time that the Guardians Guild was founded with the goal of protecting the dominion.
However, Venerable Yuan Shi had vanished as well. Since then, no new undefeatable expert had emerged from humanity. Thus, humanity failed to pacify the world this time around.
Mo Langhan knew this history well. He might not have participated in the first invasion, but he was present during the second invasion. Thus, he knew a lot of hidden information. Since Mo Langhan was of the same race, Mo Changsheng was willing to work with him. After all, he also wanted to return to the Undying Devil Planet, the ancestral planet of all undying devils.
As for the Nether Monarch and the diabolic dragon, they were not opposed to working together either because the alien army had also sent some Imperial Nether Clan and Diabolic Dragon Clan members to persuade them. From the talks, they had learned of the Myriad Planet Field and their brethren outside the dominion.
And thus, they came into agreement that humanity was their common enemy. So long as they defeated and enslaved the humans, they would be able to return to their ancestral planets in the Myriad Planet Field.
