Not long after, several figures appeared outside the Divine Fox clan. They looked quite old, with divine power surging around them.
"You are people of the Divine Race!" the fox guarding the mountain gate said with vigilance. They hadn't expected people from the Divine Race to come here.
"One of our Divine Lords should be in the Divine Fox clan!" Old Heavenly God said, "Please inform them that someone from the Divine Race has arrived and wishes to speak with the Divine Lord!"
Although the foxes were puzzled, they didn't dare to say much and turned to leave.
After a short while, they arrived before Lu Fan. At that moment, Lu Fan was playing with Six-Tails.
"Sir, a group of people from the Divine Race are outside!" the fox said. "We don't know their intentions, but they said they want to see you!"
"They want to see me?" Lu Fan's eyes were indifferent. "Tell them I am not from the Divine Race, and I don't wish to see them. Tell them to leave quickly!"
The foxes didn't dare to delay and went to the mountain gate.
"How did it go?" Old Heavenly God asked expectantly.
"My lord said he is not from the Divine Race and does not wish to see you. He asked you to stop and leave!" the fox replied.
"This..." Old Heavenly God frowned. However, he could understand Lu Fan's words. He had carefully understood what happened back then and felt that the Divine Race had wronged Lu Fan. It was a pity that Divine Lord Shangguan was in charge then, and they could do nothing.
"Old Heavenly God, if this matter is not handled properly, the entire Divine Race may be in peril!" the Heavenly Gods beside him said, their hearts filled with worry.
Old Heavenly God hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Divine Lord, we have traveled thousands of miles. We hope you will grant us an audience!" His voice was powerful and spread throughout the valley.
"I already said my lord does not wish to see you. Why are you still pestering here!" The foxes were displeased and questioned him.
Old Heavenly God ignored them and repeated his previous words. The entire fox clan understood and cast their gazes towards Lu Fan.
"I don't know what these Divine Race people are up to!" Lu Fan said helplessly. "I'll go meet them!"
"I'll go with you!" Six-Tails nodded seriously and followed behind Lu Fan.
Not long after, they arrived at the mountain gate. Outside the gate, there were many Heavenly Gods, radiating an imposing aura.
"Since you are from the Divine Race, why have you come to the Northern Abyss? Aren't you afraid of the people of the Northern Abyss attacking you?" Lu Fan asked.
"We had no choice, so we came specifically to invite the Divine Lord!" Old Heavenly God hurriedly cupped his fists. "Since the last great battle, Divine Lord Shangguan has been mentally unstable and unable to hold the position of Divine Lord. Therefore, we Heavenly Gods have discussed and wish for Divine Lord Lu to govern the entire Divine Race!"
Six-Tails stood aside, somewhat shocked. He knew very well how much authority it was to govern the entire Divine Race. He never expected the old man in front of him to say such a thing.
"I have no interest in these things!" Lu Fan shrugged. "You should leave quickly. I will not return to the Divine Race."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Gods felt mixed emotions. Lu Fan was, after all, one of their Divine Race, and now he had become a Divine Lord. This should have been a fortunate event for their Divine Race. However, what happened before had clearly hurt Lu Fan's heart.
"To be frank, the Divine Race is in peril. If the Divine Lord is unwilling to act, the entire Divine Race may be destroyed!" Old Heavenly God cupped his fists and said, "I would not dare to deceive the Divine Lord!"
"With so many experts in the Divine Race, how could it be so easily destroyed!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Did you get some kind of news!"
"Soon, the Northern Abyss army will attack the Divine Race. At that time, with no leader, the Divine Race will surely be defeated!" Old Heavenly God said directly, his eyes solemn.
"Northern Abyss army?" Lu Fan frowned. "Which race is leading? How come I don't know there's going to be a great war!"
"The Divine Dragon clan has been secretly preparing for a long time. It is likely that within a few days, they will gather the various forces of the Northern Abyss!" Old Heavenly God said solemnly. "I had no choice, so I came specifically to ask the Divine Lord to return!"
"I have already said that I will absolutely not return to the Divine Race, nor will I become the Divine Lord of the Divine Race!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Since it is the Divine Dragon clan that wants to deal with you, that is your business. It has nothing to do with me!"
"But are our Divine Race's Divine Lords going to stand by and watch the suffering?" the crowd exclaimed, their eyes solemn. They truly did not expect Lu Fan to be like this.
"I've already said it, do you want me to say it again?" Lu Fan's expression was cold, with a hint of chill. It seemed that in his eyes, everything was under control.
The many Heavenly Gods were unwilling, but they could not say much more. Lu Fan had his own choices. If they said more, it would not be good.
Seeing the Heavenly Gods leave, Six-Tails asked, "Why didn't you agree to them? If you agreed, you could become the leader of the Divine Race. This is supreme glory!"
"Can't you see it! They just want to use me!" Lu Fan shrugged. "After they use me, they can discard me at will!"
Six-Tails stood there stunned. Lu Fan's words deeply moved him.
After leaving the Northern Abyss, the Heavenly Gods dared to return to the Divine Race, feeling very helpless. They had not expected that so many of them could not move Lu Fan, and they felt a sense of sadness.
"Perhaps this is fate!" Old Heavenly God said with helplessness in his eyes. "If the Northern Abyss army really comes, I will personally put on my armor and fight!"
"We will certainly follow Old Heavenly God!" The Heavenly Gods cupped their fists, their eyes solemn. At this point, they could only do so. Even if it meant mutual destruction, they would not hesitate.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Fox clan, Lu Fan went to Nine-Tails. "Go and help me investigate something. Is the Divine Dragon clan mobilizing the various forces of the Northern Abyss to provoke a great war against the Divine Race!"
"No need to investigate!" Nine-Tails said directly. "Even we foxes have received the 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 Divine Lord Shangguan's mental instability to seize the Divine Race. If that were the case, wouldn't he become a sinner of the Divine Race? After all, he was also a member of the Divine Race. Although Lu Fan did not admit it in front of the Heavenly Gods because he was too disappointed in them, if this matter led to the annihilation of the entire Divine Race, how could Lu Fan stand by and do nothing?
