"If it weren't for Lord Lu Shen, the entire God Clan would likely have fallen!"
The Old Heavenly God stated directly, "Since Shangguan Shenjun has regained consciousness, why doesn't he go to the battlefield to defend the peace of the God Clan!"
"Defend the God Clan?"
Shangguan Shenjun laughed, "Do you still consider me part of the God Clan? In your eyes, you probably already regard Lu Fan as the Divine Lord of the God Clan!"
"Shangguan Shenjun, you should be aware that the God Clan needs a strong individual, one who can protect the entire God Clan!"
The Old Heavenly God said directly, "Since the last incident, you have been in decline, and your cultivation has even regressed. In this state, you are not fit to be the Divine Lord of the God Clan!"
"What, now that you see my cultivation has regressed and my mind is unclear, you want to depose me?"
Shangguan Shenjun said coldly, "Don't you forget how you put me in this position in the first place!"
"Back then, you were spirited and the pride of our God Clan, but now!"
The Old Heavenly God shook his head, showing utter disdain. In his eyes, Shangguan Shenjun was dispensable.
"What about now!"
Shangguan Shenjun's expression turned icy, "I am Shangguan Shenjun, and I am the pride of the entire God Clan. If you dare to lay a hand on me, you are negating the entire God Clan!"
"Guards, apprehend Shangguan Shenjun!"
The Old Heavenly God's voice was chilling, "Shangguan Shenjun is of unsound mind and is no longer fit to reside in the Heavenly Pavilion!"
The Heavenly Gods nodded in agreement and moved to seize Shangguan Shenjun.
"You dare!"
Shangguan Shenjun roared in anger, "I am the ruler of the God Clan! What right do you have to try and attack me!"
"In the God Clan, the true ruler must possess supreme strength!"
The Old Heavenly God's lips curled slightly as he said coldly, "Therefore, this position is no longer suitable for you!"
Shangguan Shenjun, enraged, charged wildly, heading out of the Heavenly Pavilion, appearing utterly deranged.
Many Heavenly Gods attempted to stop him but found themselves unable to do so.
Witnessing this scene, the Old Heavenly God sighed, "Let him go."
"Old Heavenly God, the Heavenly Pavilion is now without a master. What should we do?"
The Heavenly Gods asked with earnest expressions, their demeanor extremely serious.
"Please invite Lord Lu Shen to guard it!"
The Old Heavenly God stated directly, "Within the entire God Clan, perhaps only he is qualified to be the master of the Heavenly Pavilion!"
"But Lord Lu Shen may not agree."
The Heavenly Gods frowned. They had a general understanding of Lu Fan's personality and were naturally worried.
"Don't worry, it should be fine!"
The Old Heavenly God smiled, "After all, the Heavenly Pavilion is vacant. How could Lord Lu Shen refuse!"
The Heavenly Gods nodded slightly but did not say much more.
Since the Old Heavenly God had spoken, they understood.
Not long after, in the territory of the Fox Clan, everyone awaited Lu Fan's appearance, their faces filled with joy.
"My lord was truly mighty today!"
Six-Tails exclaimed, "I never expected even the Lord of the Divine Dragons to be unable to suppress my lord!"
"You are here today as well?"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised and somewhat confused.
"Since my lord went, how could we not be here!"
Nine-Tails spoke, "However, regarding today's events, I fear the Divine Dragon Clan will not easily let it go!"
"And so what?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression indifferent, as if nothing mattered in his eyes.
"The Divine Dragon Clan is very powerful. If my lord offends them, I fear..."
Six-Tails worried. Although the Divine Dragon Clan leader couldn't do anything to Lu Fan, the Divine Dragon Clan was filled with experts. If they were to truly attack Lu Fan, it would be with overwhelming force.
"It's nothing!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze remaining placid.
"What are my lord's plans next?"
Nine-Tails asked, "Now that my lord has acted for the God Clan, I imagine the God Clan will be quite grateful to my lord!"
"Wandering the Divine Realm!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "As for the affairs of the God Clan, I don't wish to meddle too much!"
"That's great! Wandering the Divine Realm, take me with you!"
Six-Tails said repeatedly, a smile on her face, appearing innocent and pure.
"My lord is just saying that!"
Nine-Tails bowed, "I believe my lord must have other plans!"
"What I said is true!"
Lu Fan shook his head, showing no hesitation.
Nine-Tails was stunned, her heart filled with shock.
Lu Fan was now a Divine Lord and had saved the entire God Clan. Under normal circumstances, he should return to the God Clan and govern it.
However, Lu Fan's words just now left him puzzled.
As they were talking, a group of people suddenly arrived outside the Fox Clan territory, carrying many rare treasures. Leading them were the Old Heavenly God and others.
"We respectfully welcome Divine Lord!"
The Heavenly Gods clasped their fists and placed all the treasures on the Fox Clan's land, causing surprise among the Fox Clan members.
"What is this?"
Nine-Tails was somewhat surprised. The God Clan and the Fox Clan had never had much interaction, but the arrival of the Heavenly Gods with so many treasures today was perplexing.
"The Divine Fox Clan once saved our Divine Lord. These treasures are a small token of our appreciation, and we hope the Fox Clan leader will accept them!"
The Old Heavenly God said with a light smile, his words carrying sincerity.
"This..."
Nine-Tails was touched and looked towards Lu Fan, as he knew very well that these people from the God Clan were here for Lu Fan.
"Since it is the God Clan's goodwill, you should accept it!"
Lu Fan said softly, his tone indifferent.
Nine-Tails nodded solemnly. Since Lu Fan had spoken, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Divine Lord, the Heavenly Pavilion has been vacated!"
The Old Heavenly God clasped his fists, "We have come to respectfully welcome Divine Lord back to your rightful place."
"Didn't I already say it?"
Lu Fan said coldly, "I will not return to the God Clan!"
"Previously, Shangguan Shenjun was in the Heavenly Pavilion, so Lord Lu Shen naturally wouldn't want to return. But now that Shangguan Shenjun is no longer in the God Clan, Lord Lu Shen doesn't need to worry too much!"
"Not in the God Clan?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Why is that?"
"To allow Lord Lu Shen to occupy the Heavenly Pavilion, we have already driven Shangguan Shenjun away!"
The Heavenly Gods said in unison, their eyes filled with smiles.
"Discarding the millstone after the donkey has served its purpose?"
Lu Fan shrugged, "If I were to return to the God Clan with you, this might be my fate in the future as well!"
"Lord Lu Shen's might is unparalleled. How would we dare to be presumptuous!"
The Old Heavenly God's expression changed, and he quickly clasped his fists.
Lu Fan's words clearly made him tremble inwardly.
"Hmph!"
Lu Fan snorted coldly, "You don't need to say more. Go back! I will not go to the Heavenly Pavilion!"
"We implore Lord Lu Shen to consider the greater good!"
The Old Heavenly God quickly knelt, his expression solemn.
If Lu Fan did not return to the Heavenly Pavilion, all his efforts would be in vain.
"Do not speak further!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold as he turned and left, naturally unable to agree with the God Clan Old Heavenly God's actions.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Gods of the God Clan were instantly filled with helplessness.
They hadn't expected that despite all their efforts, they still couldn't quell Lu Fan's anger.
