Not long after, several figures appeared outside the Divine Fox clan, looking quite aged, with divine power surging around them.
"You are people of the Divine Clan!"
The fox clan guarding the mountain gate spoke, their tone filled with vigilance. They naturally hadn't expected people from the Divine Clan to arrive here.
"A Divine Monarch of our Divine Clan should be within the Divine Fox clan!" Old Heavenly God stated. "Please inform them that someone from the Divine Clan has arrived and wishes to speak with the Divine Monarch!"
Although the fox clan members were perplexed, they didn't dare to say much and turned to leave.
Not long after, they arrived before Lu Fan.
At this very moment, Lu Fan was playing with Six-tailed.
"Sir, a group of people from the Divine Clan has arrived outside!"
The fox clan members reported, "We don't know their intentions. They say they wish to see you!"
"They want to see me?"
Lu Fan's eyes were indifferent. "Tell them I am not a member of the Divine Clan, nor do I wish to see them. Tell them to leave quickly!"
Seeing this, the fox clan members dared not delay and went to the mountain gate.
"How is it?" Old Heavenly God asked expectantly.
"Our lord says he is not a member of the Divine Clan and does not wish to see you. He asks you to stop and leave!" the fox clan members stated.
"This..."
Old Heavenly God frowned, but he could understand Lu Fan's words.
He had thoroughly investigated what had happened previously and felt that the Divine Clan had wronged Lu Fan.
It was just that Shangguan Divine Monarch was in power at the time, and they could do nothing.
"Old Heavenly God, if this matter is not handled properly, the entire Divine Clan may be in peril!"
Many Heavenly Gods beside him spoke, their hearts filled with immense worry.
Old Heavenly God hesitated for a moment before shouting, "Divine Monarch, we have traveled thousands of miles. We hope you will grant us an audience!"
His voice was quite powerful, echoing throughout the valley.
"I have already said that my lord does not wish to see you. Why are you still lingering here?"
The fox clan members were displeased and questioned him.
Old Heavenly God ignored them, repeating his previous words.
The entire fox clan heard this clearly and turned their gazes towards Lu Fan.
"What are these Divine Clan people up to?"
Lu Fan said helplessly, "I'll go meet them!"
"I'll go with you!"
Six-tailed nodded solemnly and followed behind Lu Fan.
Not long after, they arrived at the mountain gate, where many Heavenly Gods stood outside, exuding an imposing aura.
"Since you are from the Divine Clan, why have you come to the Northern Abyss? Are you not afraid of the people of the Northern Abyss attacking you?" Lu Fan asked.
"We are also acting out of desperation, which is why we have specially come to invite the Divine Monarch!"
Old Heavenly God quickly clasped his fists. "Since the last great battle, Shangguan Divine Monarch has been mentally unstable and is unable to hold the position of Divine Monarch. Therefore, we Heavenly Gods have discussed and wish for Divine Monarch Lu to govern the entire Divine Clan!"
Six-tailed stood by, feeling a sense of shock.
He was well aware of the immense authority that came with governing the entire Divine Clan and had not expected the old man before him to say such a thing.
"I am not interested in these matters!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "You should leave as soon as possible! I will not return to the Divine Clan."
The Heavenly Gods heard this and felt a mix of emotions.
Lu Fan was, after all, one of their Divine Clan, and now he had become a Divine Monarch, which should have been a fortunate event for their Divine Clan.
However, what had happened previously had clearly hurt Lu Fan's heart.
"To be honest, the Divine Clan is in grave danger. If the Divine Monarch is unwilling to act, the entire Divine Clan may be destroyed!" Old Heavenly God clasped his fists and said, "I would not dare to deceive the Divine Monarch!"
"With so many experts in the Divine Clan, how could they be easily annihilated!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Could it be that you've received some news?"
"Before long, the Northern Abyss army will attack the Divine Clan. Without a leader, the Divine Clan will surely be defeated!"
Old Heavenly God stated directly, his gaze solemn.
"The Northern Abyss army?"
Lu Fan frowned. "Which race is leading? How come I don't know about a war starting!"
"The Divine Dragon clan has been planning this for a long time. It is likely that they will gather various forces from the Northern Abyss in a few days!" Old Heavenly God said solemnly. "I am acting out of desperation, which is why I have specifically come to ask the Divine Monarch to return!" Su Dan Novel Network
"I have already said that I will absolutely not return to the Divine Clan, nor will I become the Divine Monarch of the Divine Clan!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Since it is the Divine Dragon clan that is targeting you, that is your business and has nothing to do with me!"
"But our Divine Clan's Divine Monarch, are you going to stand by and watch them perish?"
Everyone spoke, their eyes filled with solemnity. They naturally hadn't expected Lu Fan to be like this.
"I've already said it, do you need me to repeat myself?"
Lu Fan's expression was cold, carrying a hint of chill, as if everything was within his control.
The many Heavenly Gods were unwilling, but they dared not say much more.
Lu Fan had his own choices, and if they continued to speak, it would not be good.
Seeing the Heavenly Gods leave, Six-tailed spoke, "Why didn't you agree to them? If you agreed, you could become the ruler of the Divine Clan. This is supreme glory!"
"Can't you see it! They merely want to use me!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Once they've used me, they can discard me at will!"
Six-tailed stood there stunned. Lu Fan's words deeply moved him.
After leaving the Northern Abyss, the Heavenly Gods dared to return to the Divine Clan, feeling very helpless.
They hadn't expected that even with so many of them asking, they couldn't move Lu Fan. They couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
"Perhaps this is fate!"
With a look of helplessness, Old Heavenly God stated, "If the Northern Abyss army truly comes, I will personally don my armor and fight!"
"We will certainly follow Old Heavenly God!"
The Heavenly Gods clasped their fists, their gazes grave.
At this point, they could only do this.
Even if it meant mutual destruction, they would not hesitate.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Fox clan, Lu Fan approached Nine-tailed. "Go and investigate something for me. Is the Divine Dragon clan mobilizing various forces from the Northern Abyss to provoke a war with the Divine Clan!"
"No need to investigate!"
Nine-tailed stated directly, "Even our Fox clan has received news. It seems the Divine Dragon clan is serious this time!"
Lu Fan frowned. He hadn't expected the Divine Dragon clan to be so direct.
Taking advantage of Shangguan Divine Monarch's mental instability, they wanted to seize the Divine Clan in one fell swoop.
If this were the case, wouldn't he become a sinner of the Divine Clan, as he was also a member of the Divine Clan?
Although Lu Fan hadn't admitted it in front of the Heavenly Gods, it was due to his extreme disappointment in them. However, if this incident led to the annihilation of the entire Divine Clan, how could Lu Fan stand by and do nothing?
