"Big brother, if you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have cried myself breathless," the young Taoist priest's tears immediately cleared up upon hearing Lin Zhan's words.
He then turned to address the commanding generals who were all weeping sorrowfully.
"Alright, all of you, come and register with me. We've agreed beforehand, the resources for reviving our fallen brothers will have to come from yourselves. Even the landlord at home has no surplus grain."
"Damn it, Commander, why didn't you just agree earlier? Why did we have to go through all this? Now we can expand our army again," the legion commanders and generals said, seeing that their objective had been achieved.
Watching the generals gleefully march out, Lin Zhan felt like he had been cuckolded. The cost of physical resurrection was much higher than that of death benefits.
Furthermore, the requirements for physical resurrection were very high. Only humans with a cultivation base of Platinum or above could undergo physical resurrection. Those below Platinum were limited by their own souls and could only barely be transformed into spirits.
Moreover, warriors below the King level could only be resurrected once. Otherwise, their souls could not withstand a second resurrection, and they would not even qualify to be transformed into spirits.
Lin Zhan's eyes darted around, and he grabbed the young Taoist priest who was about to leave and pulled him back by the collar.
"Brother-in-law, wait a moment. We'll discuss something when Grandpa gets here."
Seeing Lin Zhan's expression, the young Taoist priest knew that his scheming elder brother-in-law was up to no good again. However, it had nothing to do with him. Whoever he wanted to scheme against, let him scheme. He had already sold his own meager self to the Lin family.
A moment later, Lin Tian, along with the elders of the Lin family and a group of Human Race and Underworld leaders, walked in. "Kid, what kind of mischief are you up to now?"
Lin Zhan chuckled and said, "Grandpa, Maternal Grandfather, seniors, you see we've already wiped out five elite legions of the Heavenly race. The remaining ones are all tough nuts to crack. Can we pull the Underworld into this as well?"
Lin Tian and the others were stunned. "Pull the Underworld into this? How can you do that? Do you really think the big shots in the Underworld have no brains? They won't make a move unless the Human and Heavenly races fight to a mutual destruction."
Lin Zhan glanced meaningfully at the young Taoist priest and then said, "That's if there are no benefits. But what if there's a big cake now? Whoever comes first gets to eat it."
Seeing Lin Zhan's gaze, the young Taoist priest immediately understood and said, "A battle for destiny, three realms contending, damn it, this is like picking a fight. I'm familiar with this kind of thing."
"Big brother, hold on. I'm a professional at this. Give me ten minutes, and I'll come up with an idea for you." The young Taoist priest then took out paper and pen and hid to the side, starting to sketch and write.
After a while, the young Taoist priest looked up with a lewd smile and said, "Done."
"Big brother, spend money to invite the Primordial Spirit race to perform a play with us. You have to go in person. I'll go to the Underworld first to revive the soldiers. Then, after you release the news, you can call me back, and this matter will be settled."
Lin Zhan nodded, putting on an expression of "a teachable student." "Brother-in-law, it still has to be you. Your schemes are overflowing like they're free."
"Hahaha, isn't this all thanks to what big brother taught me? Big brother, I'm heading out first." With that, he swaggered out.
Lin Zhan looked at the group of old men who were still in a daze. "Grandpa, please keep an eye on things here."
With that, he directly tore through the void and entered.
Ye Fan, dressed in a green robe, bowed slightly to Lin Tian and the elders, then followed Lin Zhan into the void.
The leaders looked at Lin Tian, utterly confused. "Old Lin, what kind of trick is your kid playing? Explain it to us."
Lin Tian was about to speak, but upon careful consideration, he also didn't understand what Lin Zhan meant, so what could he say? But he still had to maintain his composure. If it got out that he, as the grandfather, was not as clever as his grandson, what face would he have to be the Grand Marshal of the Underworld?
"Do I need to explain such a small matter? Just watch. This is definitely a good move by this kid, although his methods are not so honorable," Lin Tian said with a serious expression.
Half a day later, news spread throughout the heavens and myriad realms.
'The battle for destiny between the Human and Heavenly races has entered a fierce stage. Moreover, after these battles, the Human race discovered that the competition for destiny could shift at any time with the direction of the war.'
As soon as the Human race confirmed this news, they immediately mobilized the five group armies that were fighting in other planes to the battlefield.
Furthermore, Lin Zhan, the Grand Marshal of the Human race, personally visited the Primordial Spirit race.
Lin Zhan left three hours after entering the Primordial Spirit race's territory.
What caused the entire heavens and myriad realms to boil was that the Primordial Spirit race, which had always been detached from worldly affairs, held a grand sacrifice after Lin Zhan's departure, awakening countless sleeping Primordial Spirits.
Then, five Primordial Spirit ancestors at the Chaos Ancestor level personally awakened and began to summon the entire clan of the Primordial Spirit race, appearing ready to mobilize their forces.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Haoming, the young Taoist priest of the Lin family's second echelon, who was reviving fallen soldiers in the Underworld resurrection array, was protected by two Great Merchant Half-Ancestors, Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, who suddenly appeared.
Concurrently, the Heavenly Master's Mansion dispatched four Great Emperor-level Heavenly Master ancestors and the Mansion's guardian divine beast, the Half-Ancestor level Chi Hu, to protect Zhang Haoming. They also brought secret information.
According to internal sources, after Zhang Haoming reviewed the secret information, he repeatedly exclaimed "Damn it!" and immediately ran to find Fengdu the Ancestor, the overlord of the Human race's Underworld.
After Zhang Haoming and Fengdu the Ancestor conversed for half an hour, the entire Human race's Underworld erupted again. Countless resources were poured into the reincarnation pool as if they were free, to revive the fallen soldiers of the Human race. The scene looked as if an extermination war was imminent.
At the same time, the Great Merchant's Ancestor, Zi Qi, personally descended to the Underworld after the young Taoist priest had met with Fengdu the Ancestor, and paid another visit to Fengdu the Ancestor.
When observant individuals witnessed this scene, coupled with the news of Lin Zhan's personal visit to the Primordial Spirit race, the entire heavens and myriad realms became restless.
A turmoil far more intense than the Human race's conquest had quietly risen.
Especially that afternoon, the Demon race and Elf race consecutively dispatched two elite main legions to the Tongtian Road battlefield, causing the heavens and myriad realms to erupt again. This time, even the Elf race had joined the fray.
