172: The war begins, the war of gods!
The Five-Colored Dragon World was very arrogant.
The Five-Colored Dragons were even more conceited.
They merely relied on the world's guidance, discovered the dilapidated Ye Huo World through a loophole in its world barrier, and then, because the auras released by the Ye Huo World and the Five-Colored Dragon World were similar, they directly judged the Ye Huo World to also be a Lower God-level Great Thousand World that was in decline, making invasion very easy.
Therefore, the Five-Colored Dragon World directly crashed into the Ye Huo World.
At this moment, the world barriers of the two collided and overlapped, and the two different world powers clashed, offsetting each other. It wouldn't take long for the two world barriers to dissolve, and the world passage would open.
"Uh, with such crude war technology, how has the Five-Colored Dragon World survived until now?"
Faith Lin Chen, who was observing the battlefield, was somewhat dumbfounded as he watched the Five-Colored Dragon World crash straight in, opening a world passage at the cost of its own world barrier.
This was a completely reckless approach that left no room for retreat; if they couldn't win, the Five-Colored Dragon World would be swallowed by the Ye Huo World.
It was hard to say whether the Five-Colored Dragon World's ruler was confident or arrogant, or perhaps both.
"Child, do not judge races inferior to humans by our human standards. High-level, high-tech warfare is something these isolated Great Thousand Worlds cannot afford; they lack the foundation."
"I was mistaken. You're right, how many wars of the same level can a single Great Thousand World experience? It's normal for their war technology to be lacking."
Faith Lin Chen shook his head and continued to observe the changes in the world barrier.
The Ye Huo World's world barrier had been reinforced, and the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm had a precedent of fishing for lawbreakers, so their research into world barriers was more in-depth than that of the Five-Colored Dragon World.
Therefore, the Five-Colored Dragon World's world barrier shattered first, while the Ye Huo World's world barrier was only weakened by one layer; its strength significantly decreased, but it still stood firm between the two worlds, isolating them.
At this moment, the war formations inscribed within the Ye Huo World's world barrier activated, and a large number of attacks launched by war machines surged into the Five-Colored Dragon World through the formations.
Subsequently, large troop transport platforms, carrying hundreds of billions of Karma Fire allied forces, orderly passed through the war formations, following the advancing war machines into the Five-Colored Dragon World.
The Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm also gathered at the edge of the world barrier, ready to enter the Five-Colored Dragon World at any time to deal with enemy Gods and prevent them from interfering with the main battlefield.
It must be said that the Ye Huo World's war level was quite good; at least, various war technologies were deeply developed, weapons and strategies were both effective, and various tactical and strategic thoughts were quite in line with the world's level.
In contrast, the Five-Colored Dragon World was somewhat bewildered.
Numerous Ascension to God-level Five-Colored Dragon Lords, leading legions of wyverns and pseudo-dragons, were already eager, waiting for the moment the world passage opened to rush into the Ye Huo World like rabid dogs, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil.
Ever since the Five-Colored Dragon World embarked on its wandering path, its essence had shifted from neutral and peaceful to the evil side, and there was no turning back.
And now, no world passage had appeared, but overwhelming attacks had come through the world barrier, catching them off guard.
This scene was different from what they had envisioned.
They had invaded two worlds before, and those invasions had gone smoothly. Why was this one not going smoothly?
The Dragon Gods of the Five-Colored Dragon World naturally couldn't watch their legions suffer heavy losses, so they all took action to block the attacks from the Ye Huo World.
This was also the opportunity the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm were waiting for.
This was Karma Fire Venerable's plan: various arrangements, one linked to another, all aimed at weakening the enemy's God-level combat power at the start, forming a situation of more against fewer.
The seven Dragon Gods who took action blocked the overwhelming attacks, and then they became the concentrated target of the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm' assault.
Five God of Karma Fire formed a group, locked onto one Dragon God, and attacked with full force, aiming to kill or severely wound the attacking Dragon God with the strongest and fiercest offensive.
Meanwhile, Karma Fire Venerable and several other stronger God of Karma Fire were responsible for blocking the attacks of the other Dragon Gods. Liǔ Báizhǐ and Bei Minghui only needed to keep an eye on the Red Dragon Lord, who was deep in thought.
In a flash, three Dragon Gods fell, and four Dragon Gods were severely wounded, with no possibility of recovery within a hundred years, and thus unable to participate in the war afterward.
In the war between the Ye Huo World and the Five-Colored Dragon World, before the two sides had even truly met, the Five-Colored Dragon World had already lost seven Dragon God-level combat powers, and its combat strength directly shrank by one-seventh.
"Damn it!"
The Red Dragon Lord was enraged. He furiously attacked, unleashing the fiercest offensive against the world barrier standing between the two worlds. He wanted to shatter the Ye Huo World's barrier and completely open the world passage.
He also wanted to meet the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm, defeat them with absolute power, and ask them how they dared to treat the great Five-Colored Dragon World this way, how they dared to resist his entry.
Unfortunately, before his attack could even touch the world barrier, it was nullified by Lin Jie's spear. In the end, only a few residual ripples impacted the world barrier, without causing much effect.
Lin Jie stepped into the Five-Colored Dragon World, with Liǔ Báizhǐ and Bei Minghui following closely behind. The three only needed to keep an eye on the Red Dragon Lord and prevent him from continuing to attack.
Karma Fire Venerable also led fifty-six God of Karma Fire across the world barrier, entering the Five-Colored Dragon World and confronting the Dragon Gods who had gathered from the Five-Colored Dragon World.
"Very good, you have angered me!"
"Mere Lower Gods, daring to defy me, die!"
The Red Dragon Lord, who wielded world authority and was a world avatar, had already been deluded by the power he possessed, believing that a Lower God could unleash the combat power of a Mid-level God, dominate the Five-Colored Dragon World, and be its absolute ruler.
Therefore, his psyche had long been twisted, tolerating no disrespect, and he completely looked down on opponents at the Lower God level.
"Tsk, is this red lizard crazy? Does he think a Lower God unleashing Mid-level God combat power is some big deal?"
Faith Lin Chen had great confidence in the combat power of his three elders. In a one-on-one fight, they might only be able to stall the Red Dragon Lord, but with three against one, and their tacit cooperation, the Red Dragon Lord would be beaten to death.
Of course, for the plan of unifying the world, Liǔ Báizhǐ and the other two had to restrain themselves from going all out and ganging up on the Red Dragon Lord. They could only slowly maneuver, and even had to feign being strained, preferably even pretending to be severely wounded.
It was truly like life is a play, entirely dependent on acting.
The Red Dragon Lord and Liǔ Báizhǐ's trio fought together, gradually ascending into the high sky, moving away from the ground and lower-level sky battlefields, so as not to affect the soon-to-be-opened mid-to-low-end battlefield.
Seeing that the most difficult enemy had been entangled, Karma Fire Venerable did not hesitate, leading the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm to attack the still-apprehensive Dragon Gods.
46 against 57. The number of God of Karma Fire far exceeded the number of Dragon Gods in the Five-Colored Dragon World, by eleven Gods. With similar individual combat power, the God of Karma Fire would surely win.
Moreover, Karma Fire Venerable was at the peak of a Lower God, wielding a divine artifact, making it easy for him to fight two opponents at once, and in a one-on-one, he could easily kill an ordinary Dragon God.
So, as long as the Red Dragon Lord was stalled, this God War would ultimately end with the victory of the God of Karma Fire, and the losses would not be significant.
However, this outcome clearly did not align with Faith Lin Chen's plan, but he was not unprepared; he still had many cards to play.
Even if it ended in a Waterloo, the Federation would back him up. One failure was not terrible; what was terrible was not learning from failure and continuing to fail.
Two months had now passed, and God Lin Chen, who was in the void, was almost back in This Universe. At most, it would take no more than three months for him to reach the Ye Huo World.
At that time, God Lin Chen would join the Five-Colored Dragon World's side, acting as a strong and powerful force to severely strike the God of Karma Fire. The powerful Lower God-level God Lin Chen could quickly kill a large number of God of Karma Fire, giving the Five-Colored Dragon World an advantage and re-balancing the forces on the battlefield.
Once the forces on both sides were balanced, Faith Lin Chen could make subtle moves, using Causality Power to set up seemingly normal death outcomes for the Gods on both sides.
At the final moment, Mirror Lin Chen and Faith Lin Chen would appear when the God of Karma Fire wanted to retreat and choose to wait for an opportune moment, severely killing the Dragon Gods of the Five-Colored Dragon World, giving the God of Karma Fire the illusion of victory, and then maintaining this God War with a pre-planned outcome, continuing to bleed both sides dry.
The strategy was simple: utilize information asymmetry and unknown external forces to adjust the strength of the warring parties through special means, maintaining the war until both sides were nearly dead, then harvesting the battlefield and ending the game.
