"You vile and despicable hypocrites, claiming it’s for the advancement of civilization in the Mortal World when it’s clearly to satisfy your own bloodthirsty desires. Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?" The Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm could no longer hold back and shouted angrily.

"Hmph, divine retribution? All Living Beings, who isn’t defying the heavens to cross over? If we feared retribution, we wouldn’t engage in cultivation!" The Pharaoh of Egypt spoke with cold indifference.

"You are too ruthless. Are the lives of ordinary people in the Mortal World not lives at all? Can you truly bear to watch rivers of blood and mountains of corpses, so many people dying tragically under catastrophe, and so many finding the dismembered limbs of their loved ones in pools of blood, screaming in collapse and despair? Even if you’re not afraid of divine retribution, you should at least reflect for peace of mind!" The Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm said, tightly clenching his fists.

In reality, ordinary people of the Mortal World will never know that what truly governs them are a few of the strongest old guys, some of whom are cold-blooded and cruel, devoid of humanity. Merely for their desires, or even just for amusement, they instigated two world wars in the Mortal World. This is the true root cause of the two world wars in the Mortal World!

In the two world wars known to the ordinary people of the Mortal World: The First World War happened at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, during a time of irreconcilable contradictions, as capitalist countries transitioned to their ultimate stage, imperialism—Asia, Africa, and Latin America’s colonies and semi-colonies were largely divided among the great powers, with new and old colonial conflicts intensifying, and unequal economic development among imperialist nations prompting a war to redivide the world and fight for dominance, igniting an imperialist global war.

The war was primarily fought between the Allies and the Central Powers. Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria were on the side of the Central Powers, while Britain, France, Russia, and Italy were on the side of the Allies. This war was one of the most destructive in European history. Approximately 65 million participated, 10 million died, and 20 million were injured. It caused severe economic damage.

The Second World War, from September 1, 1939, to September 2, 1945, was a global war between Axis powers like Nazi Germany, Italy, Japan (and countries like Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania) on one side, and the Anti-Fascist allies and global anti-fascist forces on the other.

From Europe to Asia, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 61 countries and regions, over 2 billion people were drawn into war, covering a battle area of 22 million square kilometers. According to incomplete statistics, the war resulted in over 90 million casualties, with over 4 trillion dollars squandered.

The Second World War ultimately concluded with the United States, Soviet Union, China, Britain, and other Anti-Fascist nations and peoples emerging victorious over fascist invaders, bringing peace and progress to the world.

Across both world wars, more than a hundred million people perished, a number that could circle the entire Earth several times, building with their bodies a Great Wall of corpses. But who would dare to look upon such a wall, or attempt to climb it? The cruelty and brutality of war are unimaginable. The over one hundred million who died suffered greatly, but the survivors suffered the most—they lost relatives and friends forever and live daily in grief and nightmares. And those physically impaired by war endure pain for a lifetime, truly unable to seek life or death!

This is what ordinary people of the Mortal World know about the two world wars. They interpret them as well, yet they will never know that these two world wars in their world were orchestrated by a few of the most powerful and vicious old beings of the Mortal World. They so callously disposed of over a hundred million ordinary people just to add a little color to their mundane lives, bathing the Mortal World in blood and destruction. It’s truly too cruel, too vicious!

This is why the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm is so opposed to another transformation in the Mortal World. Because during the previous two times, he couldn’t stop it, nor did he foresee such developments, and when it happened, it was too late. He could only helplessly watch countless lives perishing in the two world wars. However, if there is to be a Third World War, with the battlefield in Huaxia, the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm could never agree, as it would mean devastation in Huaxia, potentially costing billions of lives. This isn’t an exaggeration or fearmongering, but given what the bloodless beings like the Pharaoh of Egypt are capable of, they could really do it.

"No need to say more, you’re unable to stop it. It seems the two ants you brought are doomed. The Pope will go all out, and the Pusuo Sect Leader will too. They stand a great chance of winning. If you persist in obstructing us, you’d better watch out for your life!" The Pharaoh of Egypt directly threatened the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm.

"Even at the cost of my life, I will stop you. Do you truly regard every ordinary person in the Mortal World as an ant?" The Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm furiously asked.

"Ants? Hahaha, aren’t we ants as well? Even if our Cultivation Realm is profound, our power great, and our lives longer than an ordinary person’s, so what? We still can’t escape death; we’ll eventually be absorbed into nature. Why not enjoy ourselves thoroughly while we still have control?" The Clan Leader of the Zeus Family laughed.

Rumble!

All of a sudden, the aura of the Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm changed, growing stronger. He unleashed all his battle power without reservation, coldly gazing at the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family and the Pharaoh of Egypt, "It seems you are determined to incite a Third World War in the Mortal World. I will not agree; there is no choice but to fight!"

Boom!

A powerful force erupted from the Pharaoh of Egypt, clashing with the aura emitted by the Great Elder from the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm, resulting in a tie. With a disdainful smile, he looked at the Great Elder and said, "I’ve long wanted to fight you. Huaxia is a place where many Ancient Martial Artists once cultivated. I’m very curious about what divine skills you have acquired!"

The Great Elder of the Huaxia Kunlun Secret Realm and the Pharaoh of Egypt both unleashed tremendous power, glaring coldly at each other as a murderous aura instantly spread. Meanwhile, the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family and Roma Vulcan stood opposing each other, neither showing an intention to act, merely observing and mutually restraining.

Thud!

Suddenly, a loud noise drew everyone’s attention to the side. The hand shadow looming over Ye Tianchen’s head was shattered, a beam of fist light smashed it to pieces. Simultaneously, Ye Tianchen was enveloped in a golden glow, having burned his physical body power to raise it to the Late Stage Martial Saint. The aura he radiated caused everyone present to be alarmed and astonished; no one expected Ye Tianchen’s physical power to be so formidable.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen strode step by step towards the Pope of the Vatican, looking calmly at the Pope and said, "Make your move, show any divine skills you have, or else you won’t have a chance to retaliate!"

"How... how can your physical power be so formidable?" The Pope of the Vatican asked, unable to hide his surprise.

"If you won’t act, then I will!" Unperturbed, Ye Tianchen threw a punch towards the Pope of the Vatican.

The Pope was stunned, shocked that Ye Tianchen could casually launch an attack with such confidence, which was both contemptuous and self-assured. For the Pope, this was a blow and an insult—had he fallen to such a level that Ye Tianchen didn’t even spare him a word?

"Arrogant fool, even if your physical power is strong, what can it do?" shouted the Pope of the Vatican, as he also struck out with a palm.

Thud!

Unexpectedly, when the Pope bellowed and sent his palm forward, an unbelievable event occurred: his powerful palm strike collided with Ye Tianchen’s fist force, but instead of an explosive clash, his palm strike was dispersed. Ye Tianchen’s fist force continued to charge at him!

Bang!

Puff!

The Pope of the Vatican was sent flying, landing hard on the ground, blood dripping from his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. Never did he expect that his full-powered palm, which he thought could nearly obliterate Ye Tianchen, turned out to be completely ineffective, utterly unbelievable!

"Is this truly your physical power? I had indeed underestimated you!" said the Pope of the Vatican as he stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen strode forward, the fist light in his right hand still shimmering, calmly saying, "Display any divine skills you have, otherwise you will no longer have a chance!" (To be continued.
