Then, it seemed as if he was listening to something. But soon, his expression completely returned to calm.
Yet in his heart, a massive wave of elimination had already surged up. He never imagined that the Great Lord would pass such a message to him. This message was delivered using a supreme secret method. It was only one-way.
This means that the benevolent Lord of Namo Heaven can pass this message to him. But he... has no way to send the message back.
After receiving this message, Huitian even felt a bit at a loss.
Because the Great Lord from that side actually told him to find an opportunity to lead everyone in retreat!
Retreat!
Stop fighting!
At the same time, the Great Lord also conveyed to him a shocking message.
Saying that the Lords of the Four Great Heavens have disagreements and have completely parted ways!
The Lord of Carefree Immeasurable Heaven and the Lord of Primordial Great Dao Purple Gold Heaven decided to fight to the end with the world of Pangu!
Then, the benevolent Lord of Namo Heaven and the Lord of Great Creation Carefree Heaven chose to withdraw.
At this moment, Huitian stealthily glanced at Shen Xi. Indeed, he found Shen Xi was also looking over.
The two exchanged a knowing glance and then turned back.
At that moment, Shen Xi's voice directly reached Huitian's ear.
"Friend Huitian, what do you think about this matter?"
Huitian slightly furrowed his brows and said, "Naturally, we must obey the Lord's orders... What else can I think?"
"The problem is, under the current circumstances, we have no way to communicate with Chu Mo..." Shen Xi directly said, "Moreover, my hatred towards Chu Mo and the beings of Pangu World has reached the bone. If the Lord doesn't take action, I want to do it myself!"
Huitian was slightly stunned.
At that moment, Patriarch Lan Guang suddenly cast his gaze towards the two of them, somewhat confusedly asking, "What are you two talking about?"
"Hehe... It's nothing." Huitian's expression was very calm, as if nothing had happened.
But just then, Patriarch Lan Guang and Shen Xi suddenly burst into action!
In an instant, they didn't even care about defense and directly launched a deadly attack on Huitian!
Their actions were so sudden and fast.
Huitian's reaction was entirely overwhelmed, directly struck by the attack from Patriarch Lan Guang and Shen Xi, nearly scattering his soul!
Dragging his wounded body, he attempted to flee while shouting sternly, "What do you two intend to do?"
Patriarch Lan Guang coldly said, "If it weren't for Friend Shen Xi telling me the truth, I would truly be kept in the dark, like a fool! The Lords of your benevolent Namo Heaven and Great Creation Carefree Heaven have already betrayed the alliance of the Four Great Heavens!"
At this moment, Patriarch Lan Guang's figure suddenly paused slightly, then said, "The Lord of my Carefree Immeasurable Heaven also passed a message to me, informing me of the truth!"
On the other side, Shen Xi wielded the jade flute in his hand, continuously launching deadly attacks on Huitian.
He was far more ruthless and merciless than Patriarch Lan Guang. The four main generals were, after all, former allies, but now, when making killer moves, he showed no hesitation. There was no sign of holding back.
As for the other Heavenly People cultivators, they had no idea what was happening. Some cultivators from the benevolent Namo Heaven, seeing their own general being attacked, all panicked and wanted to rush over to help.
But then, the cultivators from the other three Great Heavens directly surrounded them!
That feeling was as if any slight movement would lead them to be utterly torn apart.
In such circumstances, Huitian, having been severely injured from the ambush, was further besieged by Patriarch Lan Guang and Shen Xi together. Soon, a group of deputy-level cultivators also joined the fray.
Not long after, Huitian couldn't withstand the attacks any longer. He completely collapsed, his body torn apart, and his powerful spirit... turned into endless essence energy, dissipating into this Heaven and Earth.
The cultivators from the benevolent Namo Heaven were all dumbfounded. The deputy generals were surrounded by the deputy generals of the other three Heaven's forces, glaring at them covetously.
By now, everyone here understands what has happened.
The two Heavens Lords of Namo Heaven of Great Compassionate and Carefree Heaven of Great Fortune have chosen to withdraw!
But the chief commander of Carefree Heaven of Great Fortune, Shen Xi, has rejected the order from his Heaven Lord and chosen to continue attacking the Pangu world!
Patriarch Lan Guang patted Shen Xi on the shoulder, "Brother, well done. In the future, just come to our Immeasurable Zizai Heaven! Why go back to Carefree Heaven of Great Fortune and suffer from that wimpy Heaven Lord?"
Shen Xi's eyes flickered as he said softly, "We can talk about this later. But right now, our side, and even Namo Heaven of Great Compassionate's side, have delivered a large amount of resources to the Pangu world... trying to redeem us. It's infuriating! Unfortunately, we cannot go out, or else we could intercept and kill those two, and we too could obtain unimaginable amounts of resources."
Patriarch Lan Guang nodded with a face full of regret, "Yeah, let's hope our reinforcements can discover them..."
The cultivators under Shen Xi from Carefree Heaven of Great Fortune now had varied thoughts in their hearts. They finally understood what had happened now.
The Heaven Lord over there didn't want to continue fighting the Pangu world. But chief commander Shen Xi... stubbornly insisted, choosing to defy orders. Among them were many cultivators who no longer wanted to fight like this.
Yet the current situation was that if they dared to disobey, those cultivators around who were eyeing them covetously would not only be targeting the people from Namo Heaven of Great Compassionate!
Their chief, Huitian, was directly killed by Patriarch Lan Guang and Shen Xi, a move so ruthless, it was chilling. The cultivators from Namo Heaven of Great Compassionate now stood silently in place, not daring to move at all.
At this point, Shen Xi looked at his own cultivators; he was fully aware of their thoughts. He said in a deep voice, "Don't feel wronged, nor should you think my decision is outrageous. To tell you the truth, Huitian's decision was the truly outrageous one! He didn't see the situation clearly at all!"
Shen Xi's voice grew louder; he did not use a telepathic wave, but chose the sound of the Great Dao. It was specifically to intimidate those cultivators with dissenting thoughts. He said coldly, "Among humans, there's a saying: When an army is outside, the command of the emperor may not be obeyed! You all know what this means. I'm not looking to betray nor have I ever considered betrayal. But the great Heaven Lord... has no idea what has happened on our side! They only know that there are significant casualties here. They think that this battle should not continue!"
As Shen Xi spoke, his gaze fell on the side of Namo Heaven of Great Compassionate, "And you, comrades from Namo Heaven, think it over for yourselves. In these times, if we Four Great Heavens and the Heavenly People cannot unite, what could we face besides destruction, besides death... is there a second path?"
There, the group of cultivators from Namo Heaven all lowered their heads.
Trapped in this array, if it hadn't been for the few chief commanders and the deputy commanders fighting desperately, everyone would indeed not have been able to persevere long ago.
Shen Xi continued, "The enemy's goal is simple and direct, just as direct as ours! They want to kill us all! They want to completely destroy us! At times like this, even if we say we'll stop fighting and want to retreat, will it work? Hmm?"
A single "hmm" made almost all the Heavenly People cultivators lift their heads involuntarily.
Shen Xi's voice was filled with endless sorrow, "There are differences of opinion among the Heaven Lords, which is not surprising. That's the business of the high-ups. What are we? We are warriors sent out to fight battles! Our goal is actually just one... and that is to destroy the enemy! To annihilate all living beings in the Pangu world! To kill them all! That is what we need to achieve!"
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Heavenly People top cultivators, who were hard to stir emotionally, couldn't help but let out roars of fury now. The blood within was completely ignited by Shen Xi!
Shen Xi looked at them, then loudly said, "So, at this time, let's stop dividing into Namo Heaven, Carefree Heaven, Immeasurable Heaven, and Purple Gold Heaven... We are one family! We are all Heavenly People! Why separate people from each other? Do you understand what comrades are? Comrades... are those who can have a fight when angry but can entrust their backs to each other on the battlefield, depending on each other in life and death! They are those to whom family can be completely entrusted! This means, if I die in battle, my parents are your parents! My wife is your sister-in-law, my children are your children! Do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Within the array, the remaining approximately fifteen thousand Heavenly People cultivators erupted with an incredibly astonishing momentum at that instant!
It was not until this moment that they truly became a cohesive unit.
Though the price was hefty, it was worth it.
Shen Xi finally said, "Brothers and sisters, you are all my brothers, my sisters! Listen well, this is the promise of me, Shen Xi!"
All the Heavenly People focused their attention on Shen Xi, their eyes filled with a glow known as being moved.
Standing aside, Patriarch Lan Guang was filled with hot-blooded excitement and also a faint sense of loss. He knew well that after this battle, if they were victorious, Shen Xi's status among these people would be unmatched!
Nonetheless, thinking about Shen Xi, who might not be able to return home after this battle, he felt somewhat balanced.
Simultaneously, Patriarch Lan Guang sighed in his heart: It seems the human way is indeed very effective!
At this time, Shen Xi said seriously, "I, Shen Xi, am not some great figure, being appointed as the chief commander by the great Heaven Lord fills my heart with trepidation. Now defying orders, I feel guilty towards the Heaven Lord. Yet a real man knows what to do and what not to do! Today, I promise here. Perhaps, I, Shen Xi, in the future, will also be homeless like you! But to the brothers and sisters of Namo Heaven and Carefree Heaven, I can assure you, if there is a portion of resources, it will be yours first! Then mine! In times of crisis, I, Shen Xi... will go first."

Well, today is still the third night watch.
