That night, the tunnel gate opened, and elite legions of heroic spirits poured out, assembling in Gauss's camp.
Lin Zhan also summoned his nine grand army commanders overnight.
He Dazhuang and his gang of brutes perked up upon seeing the heroic spirit legions.
It wasn't until an old man clad in black heavy armor emerged and gave He Dazhuang a thorough "lesson in love" that the group of hotheads finally behaved.
"Grandpa, you're not dead... I mean, you're not *completely* dead, how are you alive again?" He Dazhuang said, looking at the old man in front of him with a bewildered expression.
The old man was none other than He Dazhuang's grandfather, the old patriarch of the He family who had once led three generations of his family into battle, Old Master He.
"You little brat, you're just asking for a beating. Where's your father, that worthless scoundrel? I need to ask him how he's been raising you all these years to produce such a good-for-nothing scamp like you." Old Master He spoke as he made a move to strike.
He Dazhuang quickly softened his stance. "Grandpa, Grandpa, don't hit me, listen to me. I have good news for you, and after you hear it, you definitely won't hit me anymore."
"Fine, speak. I'll see what you've got," Old Master He said, skeptical.
"Grandpa, I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news is that I'm getting married, and my wife is pregnant. We've confirmed it's a big fat boy."
Upon hearing "big fat boy," Old Master He's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Heh, a good boy, a He family descendant! I always knew you'd amount to something. Let me tell you, Grandpa has some private savings. You can quietly go dig it up when you get back. Now, what's the other news?"
He Dazhuang chuckled. "Heh, I knew this old man wouldn't be honest. He's still hiding private savings."
"Grandpa, the other thing is that my eighth uncle is still single. You've seen he hasn't gotten married all these years, doesn't he like women?"
Old Master He froze, then his face contorted as if he'd eaten something foul. "Dazhuang, how can our He family not participate in this war for the survival of humanity? Contact your father and have him send people over. Let Old Eighth lead the team."
Then, the old man hurried out, shouting as he went, "Tian Ge, leave the position of the Dare-to-Die Squad captain for me. I have a good candidate..."
Wang Er Zhuang, who had been hiding nearby, looked at He Dazhuang in confusion and said, "Brother, although Uncle Eighth isn't married, he's got seven or eight models and celebrities on the side, how can he not like women?"
He Dazhuang looked at his brother as if he were an idiot. "Damn it, if I didn't push Uncle Eighth out, would you be the captain of the Dare-to-Die Squad?"
Everyone suddenly looked at He Dazhuang as if he were a beast, but at the same time, they were all thinking about how their own families would have to send people to the Dare-to-Die Squad, and whom they would push forward to take the fall.
Lin Zhan, who had just walked in with Emperor Yao from outside, heard He Dazhuang's words and kicked him.
"Can you guys be a bit more human? Besides, if you die, you can still be resurrected through the tunnel. What are you afraid of? Just go for it."
Everyone was stunned, then exchanged glances. *Damn, how could we forget about resurrection? What are we even worried about?*
They arrived at the conference room and saw a group of powerful figures from the underworld army, led by Lin Tian, seated neatly. Everyone quickly found their seats, as they didn't want to be looked down upon by these old guys.
Lin Zhan, seeing that everyone was present, began, "The ancestors have all gone to the Sea of Fortune to cause trouble. As long as the Heavenly Clan's primeval ancestors are lured away, we will make our move."
"The only primeval-level combat power guarding here now is Ancestor Emperor Yao, Ancestor Xuan Niao of Great Shang, and these four ancestors: Taotie, Hundun, Qiongqi, and Taowu. Although the numbers are a bit small, their combat power is top-notch, and they can handle the Heavenly Clan elders with thunder and lightning."
"However, who knows how many primeval ancestors those shameless Heavenly Clan bastards are hiding? So, try not to let the ancestors fight, lest they draw out the Heavenly Clan's primeval ancestors and get us all wiped out."
The nine commanders nodded quickly. *Yes, boss is right. We can fight, but if we lose our own lives, it's not worth it. Let someone else be the captain of the Dare-to-Die Squad.*
Unlike these nine beasts, the older generation like Lin Tian truly didn't care.
*We're already heroic spirits, what are we afraid of dying again? As long as humanity doesn't perish and the power of the underworld exists, we can still be resurrected. What's there to be afraid of?*
Seeing Lin Zhan signal, Lin Tian stood up and said, "Next, I will introduce the strength of the underworld army to everyone."
"The underworld is divided into eight grand armies, each with a hundred million people. Among them, four are composed of heroic spirits of our human race, which are the four grand armies I've brought."
"The remaining four grand armies are composed of native races from the netherworld. Among them is the Asura Grand Army, which is the strongest fighting force of the underworld."
"There is one Nether Beast Grand Army, and the remaining two grand armies are exclusively for the Underworld Ancestral Court."
Lin Zhan couldn't help but curl his lips. "Grandpa, you've been down there for so long and haven't even reached a prominent position? It turns out you're at most just a cannon fodder commander."
Everyone looked at Lin Zhan dumbfounded. *Kid, is it really okay to describe your grandfather like that using slang?*
"Uh..." Taotie on the side let out a burp and said, "Kid, don't look down on these native races of the underworld. They're incredibly fierce when it comes to fighting."
"You must know that before the chaos was divided, the Heavenly Dao and the Underworld Dao already existed. The prosperity of the Human Dao was entirely carved out by the great Ancestor Pangu with his axe."
"Although the Asura race has great combat power, do you know how many races that have existed since the chaos are in the Underworld Ancestral Court? It's only now that we and the underworld have teamed up to take down the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, even Ancestor Fuxi wouldn't want to deal with those guys from the underworld."
Lin Zhan looked at the group of tough guys under his command and licked his lips. "If that's the case, we really need to hold back some of our strength. If we lose all our brothers, and then get bitten in the back, we'll be finished."
All the human military bigwigs nodded quickly.
"This is why I asked Ancestors Wang Jian and Meng Tian, along with your maternal grandfather, to come down and help me. Only then can I completely control the human heroic spirit forces," Lin Tian said directly, looking at Lin Zhan and the others who were looking serious.
