The vast world.
At the edge of the vortex, a group of powerful figures stood tall and proud, like pine trees.
They were clad in level 1000 "god-tier equipment" crafted from special materials, gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light.
The weapons in their hands exuded a terrifying aura, a chilling killing intent.
Around these powerful figures, countless soldiers stood ready in battle formation.
They were arranged in neat squares, each with a resolute and burning gaze, revealing a determination to die for their cause.
Meanwhile, various large warships hovered, radiating a powerful sense of oppression.
These soldiers included dragons, angels, demons, and others—a coalition of forces from the vast world.
Leading them was none other than the Demon Prince, the former number one on the "Genius Ranking"—Mo Chuxiao.
Also guarding the area were the top 12 from that time, including:
Angelic Saint Son—Tian Shenwei.
Prince of Light Elf—Guangze Mi.
Child of the Demon God—Bai Lengshen.
Prince of the Human Emperor—Dongfang Cangjue.
They are currently the main fighting force of the Great Thousand Worlds Allied Army, and also among the top 100 on the "Supreme Ranking."
However, they are all at the bottom of the rankings, since the top 60 are basically Fang Xian and his wives.
The fact that they can still squeeze into the top 100 is already an astonishing feat.
"Hey, do you guys want to try some Maotai liquor my brother-in-law gave me? It's really potent."
Bai Lengshen took out Maotai liquor and looked at the other divine children with a smug expression.
Dongfang Cangjue smiled slightly and casually waved his hand, producing several bottles of Maotai liquor.
"Brother Bai, who doesn't have a brother-in-law?"
"Haha! That's right."
Guangze Mi also took out Maotai liquor and waved it in front of Bai Lengshen.
"Brother Shenwei, want some?"
"Boring."
Tian Shenwei crossed his arms, completely ignoring them.
"Hehe, Brother Shenwei has his own ways, no need to bother with him."
Mo Chuxiao chuckled, taking out some snacks from his storage ring and placing them on the table.
"Everyone's brother-in-law is Fang Shendi, so we're all brothers in a way. Let's sit down and have a couple of drinks."
"That makes sense."
Bai Lengshen sat down without ceremony, picking up a slice of poached chicken and starting to eat.
"To be honest, the food Fang Xian provided here is indeed quite good, the taste is amazing."
Dongfang Cangjue slowly sat down, reminding him:
"Brother Bai, isn't it a bit inappropriate to call Fang Shendi by his name so directly?"
Bai Lengshen didn't care, saying nonchalantly:
"So what? No matter how powerful Fang Xian is, isn't he still our brother-in-law? Is it wrong to call him by his name?"
The other divine sons shook their heads helplessly. Although they said that, the Great Thousand World was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, emphasizing strength above all else.
Whoever is stronger has higher status, not based on age or seniority.
They weren't as carefree as Bai Lengshen, so naturally they didn't dare call Fang Xian by his name directly.
Actually, Bai Lengshen wasn't always like this. Ever since Fang Xian became the ruler of the Great Thousand World, he'd become a bit unrestrained.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat more. The 'Extraterrestrial War' will begin in five days. We might not even have time for a proper meal then."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They were confident they could achieve final victory against the intermediate-level world.
Everyone felt it would be a protracted war, and even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
Guangze Mi picked up his glass of Maotai liquor and took a small sip.
"Gentlemen, how much information do you think Emperor Fang will be able to gather on his trip to the Science and Martial World?"
Dongfang Cangjue frowned slightly, looking at the liquor in his glass.
"Even though Emperor Fang is strong, it's still a mid-level world, and he's unfamiliar with the place. I'm afraid he'll have a hard time obtaining much useful information."
Mo Chuxiao nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, this trip will indeed be fraught with difficulties. We can only wait and see."
Bai Lengshen picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Tch! You're underestimating our brother-in-law. It's just a small mid-level world; he'll be no match for you."
He refilled his glass and downed it again in one gulp.
"When have you ever seen Fang Xian suffer a loss?"
"He tricked us terribly at 'Divine Stone Mountain,' but in the Martial Arts World, isn't he like a wolf among sheep, thriving like a fish in water?"
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
They couldn't refute Bai Lengshen's words. Countless people had suffered at Fang Xian's hands, but only
his women had ever benefited from him.
As for others, don't even think about it.
Otherwise, people would die.
Guangze raised his wine cup and made a wish.
"I believe that Emperor Fang will definitely bring us good news."
"He definitely will."
As soon as Mo Chuxiao finished speaking, the vortex at the boundary between the two realms emitted a "crackling" sound.
Everyone sensed it and looked in the direction of the sound.
They saw strange ripples spreading from the center of the vortex, emitting concentric circles of distorted light, making the surrounding darkness even thicker.
Bai Lengshen rubbed his eyes and let out a burp.
"What's going on? Did I drink too much?"
Tian Shenwei frowned, his voice low and menacing.
"It's an enemy attack."
Upon hearing this, everyone was on high alert.
Mo Chuxiao's face was cold and stern, his gaze sharp as he stared at the vortex. He suddenly raised his longsword high and gave the order in a booming voice.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
His voice exploded in the sky like thunder, and instantly, everyone erupted in excitement.
The powerful figures standing in mid-air suddenly felt their auras surge, each releasing powerful energy fluctuations.
The soldiers behind them shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the heavens.
They marched forward with neat and determined steps, rapidly advancing towards the vortex.
Various warships also sprang into action, their massive ballistae and magic cannons aimed at the vortex, ready to fire at any moment.
Everyone was puzzled as to why such an anomaly had occurred at the border between the two worlds on only the second day.
Whatever it was, they had to stop it immediately to buy time for the Great Thousand World to relay the message.
To everyone's astonishment, several figures slowly emerged from the vortex.
They were—twelve stunningly beautiful women.
And leading them was none other than the strongest being in the Great Thousand World—Fang Xian.
Seeing Fang Xian emerge, everyone was filled with confusion.
Fang Xian had only been in the Science and Martial World for two days; how could he have returned?
Has something happened?
But if something had happened, why would he bring back twelve peerless women?
Could it be that Fang Xian had won them over in just two days and then tricked them into going to the Great Thousand World?
No matter how bold or imaginative they were, none of them could fathom the real answer.
Bai Lengshen, seeing Fang Xian appear, couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Fang Xian? Why are you back so quickly?"
"And behind you are twelve stunningly beautiful women... could it be that you..."
Fang Xian's lips curled into a sly smile.
"That's right, they are all my women, and the Martial Arts World has already...
been defeated."
