"Up until now, has only the Holy Heart Palace and the Demon God Temple been attacked?"

Facing everyone's questions, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch regretfully shook his head: "All the Immortal Domains have direct passages to the Holy Heart Palace, yet the Holy Heart Palace was the first to fall. Even if other Immortal Domains were attacked, it would take some time for the news to reach here."

Jade Star Lord asked in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether other places were attacked, since the Holy Heart Palace has fallen, should we strike with all our might to reclaim it, kill all the invading enemies, or drive them away?"

Pausing for a moment, Jade Star Lord pointed at the paused image in front: "The Holy Heart Palace is shattered, the whole world has been transformed beyond recognition. It seems that they have made the Holy Heart Palace their nest for attacking the Immortal Realm and are continuously altering the world. If time drags on, the entire Sacred Heart Fairyland might be transformed into an environment suitable for their survival and battle, reducing our chances of reclaiming the Holy Heart Palace and driving them out."

Lord of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, Sidao Wang, spoke gravely: "They possess the terrifying power to overlap planes. Now that they have openly attacked and targeted both the Immortal and Demon Worlds' core, they must have already prepared to counter our counterattacks. Would a full-force retaliation under unclear intelligence fall exactly into the enemy's trap?"

Lord of the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, Wei Chifeng, stated solemnly: "If they can wield the power to manipulate plane overlaps at will, wiping us out should be effortless for them. Why would they need such a large-scale mobilization and repeatedly overlap the Immortal and Demon Worlds? Why not just deploy their forces and annihilate either our Immortal World or Demon World directly? Isn't dealing with one realm at a time far easier than facing both simultaneously?"

With these words from Wei Chifeng, many agreed.

The Second Army Commander, Chen Qing, supported: "Yes, their ability to change plane overlaps is indeed formidable, something we and possibly even the Saints can't do. But if they were truly that strong, they would annihilate the Demon World first, then the Immortal World. Why make it so complicated?"

"The twenty-seven Immortal Demon Wars, eventually leading to all-out war, and only acting when all Saints were mutually exhausted, indirectly proves that although their race is strong, they aren't strong enough to easily wipe us out. They too are waiting for a suitable opportunity."

"As for the plane overlaps, I think there are secrets we don't know…"

Fourth Legion Commander, Du Qi, definitively said: "No matter the reason, since they're here, we cannot simply hand over the Immortal Realm. Besides, where else can we retreat to?"

"Immortal Realm, Demon World, both are currently being attacked. Their goal is clearly total conquest of both worlds; no Immortal Domain can escape this. Are we supposed to hide in some deserted Small Immortal Domain and barely survive?"

"No matter what means they use, we will eventually have to confront them. If we don't face it now, do we not have to face it later? Dead people, definitely, there will be deaths, but initiating early might reduce some casualties. Once they are fully prepared, there will be even more deaths!"

Fifth Legion Commander, Meng Hunyu, frowned and said: "Fighting is inevitable, but we cannot just rush headlong into battle without thinking. We must at least understand basic intelligence about the opponent. Charging blindly without knowing anything, I feel, is no different from suicide."

"Besides, with both the Holy Heart Palace and Demon God Temple simultaneously fallen, both the Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor have received distress calls, their sides still have Mixed Element Saint and Shadow Saint, four people pretending to fight to lure the enemy to act, and the enemy did act, but the result is seen by all."

"The Saints made their move but couldn't solve the problem. I don't believe that just by our charge we can resolve this matter. I think we should hold our forces, continue reconnaissance, gain more information, and at the same time contact the Immortal Emperor to see how Emperor plans it, as he has engaged with them and definitely knows more than us."

Meng Hunyu's words rendered everyone silent.

Indeed, the Immortal Emperor and Mixed Element Saint lured the enemy, and the enemy acted as they wished, yet they still couldn't stop it.

If Saints can't stop them, can a few legions reclaim the Holy Heart Palace?

Everyone felt extremely heavy-hearted and was at a loss for a moment.

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch spoke solemnly: "Informing everyone here is to make you understand what kind of enemy we are facing. The Emperor previously ordered us to prepare for battle to prevent surprise attacks from the opponents, not to attack the Holy Heart Palace, so for now, everyone should hold their positions and await further news."

Pausing, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch added: "This information must not be leaked, to avoid causing unrest among the troops."

The meeting concluded, Lin Chen and Jiang Yunfeng returned to the First Legion together.

At the Legion Command Center, Jiang Yunfeng slammed his hand on the table, angry: "What is all this, first the Demon Race, then the invasion by the Different Races, the Immortal Realm truly faces endless calamities."

Lin Chen replied with a bitter smile, "These two things were originally one issue; if not for the Purple Crystal Alien Race causing trouble, the Immortal and Demon Worlds would have been two non-intersecting planes, without any crossover at all."

Jiang Yunfeng paused, resignedly said: "That's also true. Talking round and round, it's the Different Races causing trouble, the Demon Race has always wanted to occupy the Immortal Realm, to seize its territories with ill intentions, but in this matter, they too were used as a pawn, a confused unfortunate."

Lin Chen thought about the current situational shifts, feeling somewhat complex.

The Immortal and Demon Worlds fighting to the death, shedding blood endlessly, and now suddenly forced to unite in battle?

How unpredictable are the affairs of the world!

Thinking about the now essentially defunct boundary between the two worlds, Lin Chen couldn't help but bitterly smile, thinking if he had known earlier, why had he put so much effort back then?

At that time, in order to sneak through the Immortal Demon Channel, he almost got discovered by the Little Demon Emperor, nearly leading to a total annihilation.

Lin Chen suddenly thought of the Great Wilderness Saint; previously, he had stayed aloof from the conflict, and as long as the Demon Emperor didn't disturb him, he would close his Domain Gate and act as a Local Tyrant, oblivious even if the Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor tore the heavens apart, but now the situation was no longer merely a dispute between the Immortal and Demon Worlds.

If the Demon World fell, if the Immortal Realm fell, could the Great Wilderness Palace still remain unaffected?

With even the Four Saints unable to change the current situation, should the Great Wilderness Saint come forth and join forces in the battle?

This would not be for the Demon Emperor, nor for the Immortal Emperor, but for the Great Wilderness Palace, for his people.

Considering this, Lin Chen suddenly felt an increased expectation.

He needed to go back and have a good talk with Zhuang Susu!

She was a Direct Disciple of the Great Wilderness Saint, surely she could find a way to contact the Great Wilderness Saint!
