Jin Zhan turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

His speed was extremely fast. In mid-air, he was like streaming light, and in the blink of an eye, he had already distanced himself several kilometres from that claw-shaped sinkhole.

It was not until that feeling of being watched gradually dissipated that Jin Zhan dared to look back at the sinkhole, discovering that the Ancient God Shadow Guards hadn’t pursued him.

Jin Zhan breathed a slight sigh of relief while simultaneously feeling a wave of lingering fear. He knew all too well the strength of the Ancient God Shadow Guards.

If all those Ancient God Shadow Guards just now had emerged, annihilating Dragon Country would have been as easy as turning one’s hand.

Jin Zhan had originally been very confident in his own strength. It wasn’t until he encountered Lu Fan that he had been deeply struck down, falling into a brief period of self-doubt.

However, later he had thought about it and found that Lu Fan being this strong was actually a good thing.

This way, Dragon Country had gained a solid backing. And while Jin Zhan himself might not be Lu Fan’s match, his strength in this world was still top-tier.

With him and Lu Fan joining forces, could they not block the Ancient Gods’ invasion?

As it turned out now, they really couldn’t!

The Fallen Corpse Puppets before had merely been an appetiser. Being able to easily slaughter Fallen Corpse Puppets did not count for much.

The truly powerful Ancient God Shadow Guards had not even been deployed by the Fallen Corpse Ancient God.

If the Fallen Corpse Ancient God had also sent out the Ancient God Shadow Guards, the Far North’s defensive line could not possibly have stopped them!

[Terrifying. This is just too terrifying! Does Humanity really have any chance of winning this war?]

[Without Lu Fan, the probability of winning was probably less than one percent. And even with Lu Fan, the chances of victory are maybe at best ten percent…]

For the first time, Jin Zhan felt so powerless in the face of war.

Thinking of Lu Fan, his body suddenly stiffened.

Because he remembered that Lu Fan had previously gone to the depths of the Far North precisely to hunt down the Blood Moon’s Owner.

Just now at the sinkhole, he had not seen the Blood Moon’s Owner.

But he also had not seen Lu Fan!

What ultimately survived were the Ancient God within the bronze coffin and the countless Ancient God Shadow Guards.

Then, what about Lu Fan!?

That crater just now must have been the trace left by an intense battle.

After the fierce battle, only the Ancient God remained, while Lu Fan’s whereabouts were unknown.

[Could it be…] For a moment, Jin Zhan felt an ominous premonition rising within him. If something had happened to Lu Fan, then this world truly had no hope left…

Just as Jin Zhan was shrouded in worry, a Space Node suddenly appeared before him, startling both him and the Golden Crow beneath him.

The Golden Crow even flapped its wings, nearly throwing Jin Zhan off.

The Golden Crow was quite intelligent. The scene of being pursued by the Ancient God Shadow Guards just now had terrified it greatly.

After all, back when it had been underground, it too had been chased by Ancient God Shadow Guards and had watched helplessly as its siblings were torn to shreds by them.

Both the Golden Crow and Jin Zhan had become startled creatures. However, after the Space Node formed, what flew out from within was not an Ancient God Shadow Guard, but rather an incomparably enormous five-headed Dragon. It came along with a young man riding it.

Lu Fan and the Devouring Dragon King returned to the Far North through the Starry Space Passage Skill.

That strike from the Fallen Corpse Ancient God just now had truly frightened both him and the Devouring Dragon King.

As soon as they emerged, Lu Fan complained. “I was nearly killed! You lied to me. You kept saying the Fallen Corpse Ancient God hadn’t awakened and posed no threat at all. And the result? If I hadn’t used Dive Into The Abyss just now to pull both you and me into the Abyssal Space, we’d both be finished!”

The Devouring Dragon King was also angry, responding with displeasure. “This matter can’t all be blamed on me, can it? Don’t forget, it was you who insisted on opposing the Ancient Gods. I only came to help you deal with the Ancient Gods.”

“The Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s degree of awakening is higher than I estimated, giving it the ability to strike. Can you blame me for that? If I had died just now, that would have been a real loss! I could clearly have found a place to peacefully reign as a local overlord, then hide when the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy begins, living until the next era starts. For your sake, I waded into these murky waters. And you have the nerve to blame me instead?”

Lu Fan said irritably. “I should indeed be grateful that you helped me. But, let me properly settle with you whose fault this is!”

“Firstly, you were the one who said the Fallen Corpse Ancient God had no ability to strike. Secondly, in killing the Blood Moon’s Owner, you did indeed contribute the most effort. I do not refute that. But don’t forget! Without my Ancient God Power, you wouldn’t have been able to kill the Blood Moon’s Owner either.”

“After killing the Blood Moon’s Owner, you absorbed its entire carcass. Your strength surged compared to before. You were the greatest beneficiary here. If things had ended there, it would have been fine.”

“But what did you do after!? You didn’t even spare the chains on the bronze coffin. You even wanted to absorb the Ancient God inside the bronze coffin as well!”

“We have a saying in Dragon Country: ‘a person’s heart is never satisfied, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.’ We nearly got slapped to death by the Fallen Corpse Ancient God. Shouldn’t you bear the greatest responsibility for this!?”

“How dare you! Lu Fan, your skill at deflecting blame is quite something!” The Devouring Dragon King immediately bristled. “When I was absorbing the Blood Moon’s Owner, I shared plenty of Attributes with you. Your own Attributes multiplied several times compared to before. You did not even mention this at all! Since you put it that way, we’ve got nothing more to say. After I finish refining the Blood Moon’s Owner’s carcass and absorb it completely, I’m leaving immediately!”

Lu Fan said irritably. “If you’ve got the guts, leave right now. Don’t stay in my Pet Sub-Space!”

The Devouring Dragon King also dug in her heels, saying. “Why should I? You tell me to leave and I leave, you tell me not to leave and I can’t leave. Is the Pet Sub-Space owned and operated solely by you?”

“Of course it’s operated by me!” Lu Fan said. “Just now my Abyssal Node was shattered and my Ancient God Power leaked out. To recover, it will take at least several days. During this period, I can’t use any Ancient God Power. I haven’t even settled this account with you yet!”

“You’re killing me. Your Abyssal Node wasn’t destroyed by me. Why are you settling accounts with me!?”

“You provoked the Fallen Corpse Ancient God to strike. You should bear some responsibility for it, shouldn’t you?”

“Why should I bear any responsibility? This blame is something we both share. We have equal responsibility over it!”

Lu Fan and the Devouring Dragon King quarrelled intensely, nearly coming to blows.

Jin Zhan, watching from the side, saw that it was Lu Fan who had emerged and let down his guard.

However, watching one person and one dragon arguing so fiercely like this, he was instantly covered in cold sweat.

“That…” Jin Zhan couldn’t help but speak up, reminding them there was still another person present. “Lu Fan, what exactly just happened? What are you… arguing about?”
