Northeast, southwest, these are the directions divided by the Upper Realm Plane with the Central Divine Palace as the benchmark. In this west, there are countless races and powers.
The Divine World's edicts have been received, of course, by them all: first to enslave the people of Earth, then to exterminate them, and even to send down Divine Artifacts.
These days, there have already been quite a few Heavenly Descending Divine Artifacts obtained by Cultivators in the Upper Realm Plane.
But the gods of the Divine World are also crafty.
These Heavenly Descending Divine Artifacts require the blood of Earthlings to activate, and quite a large amount at that.
Naturally, the Western Regions also received plenty of Heavenly Descending Divine Artifacts, many of which were obtained by the heads of Empires. With Divine Artifacts in hand, naturally, the fresh blood of Earthlings is needed for the sacrifice.
In such a vast area as the Western Regions, the Earthlings who were previously enslaved are nearly wiped out, it could be said that in this piece of Hell, only one in ten Earthlings remains.
The remaining more than one hundred thousand people, one could say, staged a slave rebellion in the face of hopeless survival, and actually managed to escape successfully.
During their escape, they were joined by some Earthlings who had previously hidden, becoming a force to be reckoned with.
However, such a strong force, in the eyes of the various clans of the Western Regions, is simply a moving activator of Divine Artifacts!
Previously, because the group was so large, no individual dared to provoke them, but later, they caught the attention of the Imperial army.
After several bloody battles, the hundred thousand retreated into a desolate desert area, relying on the terrain to survive, and while many died in battle, they managed somehow to continue to exist on the edge of this desperate place.
Afterward, the arrival of the Flame Winged Dragon ensured their safety for a while.
But, the combined armies of the Western Regions converged quickly, from a single army at first, to an army of one million, and then two million; it's totally an overkill!
In the Desert battleground, there are a lot of sandworms, but during this time, the Seven Countries Alliance Army kept pushing in, slaughtering a great number.
The delay in the attack, besides the Flame Winged Dragon being too formidable, was mainly due to the uneven distribution of the spoils among the allied forces of the different ethnic groups.
At this moment, outside the desperate place, the military camps stretched unbroken, with the Quanrong Clan's camp at the very center housing the Alliance's main tent.
"Let me tell you, these Earthlings are trapped here by our Quanrong Empire. Who are you to want to split the spoils with us, and why should you get any part of it!"
Inside the tent, the atmosphere was tense.
The Great Emperor of the Quanrong Empire, Emperor Wuye, had a gloomy expression on his face, pounding the table with ferocity.
But inside the tent, other clan emperors simply ignored him, each turning their heads away, arguing amongst themselves.
"There are about one hundred and fifty thousand surviving Earthlings here, our Giant Eagle Empire isn't too greedy. Not to hide from you all, we have a hundred Heavenly Descending Divine Artifacts! So, out of these one hundred and fifty thousand Earthlings, we just want fifty thousand. The rest, you can divide amongst yourselves," declared an emperor from the Giant Eagle Clan dismissively, ignoring the Quanrong Emperor and starting to distribute interests.
But, as soon as he spoke, the emperors beside him started to shout angrily: "Fifty thousand, just? Why doesn't your Giant Eagle Empire become even more shameless and simply take all one hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Fine by us, if you all are willing, we from the Giant Eagle Empire would be very pleased," retorted the Giant Eagle Clan Emperor with a cold sneer and a laugh.
"Pah! You've really got some nerve!"
The few shouting emperors all spat at the Giant Eagle Clan Emperor, showing no fear.
"That's right. Just because your Giant Eagle Empire got your hands on a hundred Heavenly Descending Divine Artifacts, you think you're so remarkable? Each of our Empires has obtained several dozen, and all together, if not a thousand, then eight hundred. Your Giant Eagle Empire opens its mouth and wants fifty thousand Earthlings. Heh, I'm afraid you can't swallow that much!"
The tent was filled with endless disputes, and there was even a looming threat of a fight breaking out.
Outside the tent, the guards of the various Empires were also eyeing each other covetously, ready to start a fight at any moment.
The Great Emperor of Quanrong was so furious his teeth itched, but he simply chose to remain silent.
On the other side, more than a dozen Great Emperors also joined the fray, all wanting to get their hands on tens of thousands of Earthlings as spoils of war.
However, there weren't enough to go around. A few Emperors even clamored that before breaching the desperate straits, their side should sort out a pecking order to decide who was unworthy of the Earthlings.
The Great Emperors argued incessantly when suddenly, a guard of the Quanrong Empire stealthily approached the Great Emperor of Quanrong and whispered something into his ear.
The Great Emperor of Quanrong waved his hand, dismissing his guard, then looked at the disputatious Great Emperors with a cold laugh: "There's no need to argue, more Earthlings have arrived."
As he spoke, the entire tent fell silent at once, all gazes swiftly turned toward the Great Emperor of Quanrong.
More Earthlings?
"How many!" The Great Emperor of the Giant Eagle let out a cold laugh, revealing a greedy glint in his eyes.
"Spill any intelligence you have, fast!"
Several other Great Emperors hurriedly pressed for information.
The Great Emperor of Quanrong chuckled: "They say it's the reinforcements from Earth, quite a number, about fifty thousand strong."
Fifty thousand?
Reinforcements?
"We could encircle and annihilate the reinforcements," an Emperor strategically adept had a sudden inspiration, blurting it out.
But he was immediately met with disdain: "Do you think the Earthlings on this Plane are that numerous? 'Encircle and annihilate the reinforcements,' as if you're dreaming!"
There were Great Emperors who found it puzzling, frowning as they said: "But come to think of it, where did these Earthling reinforcements come from?"
This question brought the Excited Emperors to a moment of sobriety.
Indeed, this vast territory of the Western Regions was almost entirely under the control of the dozens of Great Emperors present. Where else would there be other Earthlings in this land?
"They've come from Gu Country," the Great Emperor of Quanrong sneered, his eyes flashing fiercely: "Whoever wants to gobble up these fifty thousand Earthling reinforcements, I, Quanrong, will not give them a slice."
From Gu Country?!
These days, the annihilation of Gu Country and the uprising of the Earthlings was news known by all the Emperors here.
The Earthlings coming from Gu Country were the direct cause of the Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact's arrival!
For a moment, the faces of these Great Emperors turned rather unsightly.
Everyone likes to bully the weak and fears the strong.
If they encounter a tough nut, they would not want to diminish their own strength.
"Are you scared now?" the Great Emperor of Quanrong sneered, as if mocking these Great Emperors.
"Scared? Scared of what! My Giant Eagle Empire afraid of a mere fifty thousand Earthlings? Even if another fifty thousand came, I wouldn't be scared!" The Great Emperor of the Giant Eagle seemed quite disgruntled with the Great Emperor of Quanrong, scoffing as he stood up: "This Great Emperor will organize fifty thousand soldiers, dispatching ten thousand from our own Empire, plus another five thousand each from five other Empires, to eat up this group of Earthlings. And inside the desperate straits, we will still share the Earthlings as planned!"
Fifty thousand soldiers from the Great Empires to face off against fifty thousand Earthlings, that's like using a cleaver to kill a chicken. At least, that's how they saw it.
"Hehe, don't forget, those Earthlings annihilated hundreds of thousands from the Seven Countries Alliance Army; they are fierce," another shot of disdain from the Great Emperor of Quanrong.
Who knew, the Great Emperor of the Giant Eagle laughed even more merrily: "Hahaha, you're nothing but a coward! Not joining, I see! Annihilated hundreds of thousands? As if the allied forces of those Seven Countries and Gu Country were anything but trash—barely an Imperial Country, while we are Empires! Their Generals could only qualify as lowly soldiers in our ranks."
"Moreover, I've recently received certain news, the Earthlings won't be leaping around much longer! Hahaha!" The Giant Eagle Emperor burst into laughter, drawing curious looks from everyone.
