“True Navigator, are you being too impulsive?” Victory Over Heaven was momentarily taken aback and smiled as he changed the subject.
In fact, it wasn't just him; even Wang Long and Jiang Xue, who had a good relationship with him, did not expect True Navigator to propose this in front of all the high-ranking members of the divine clan so quickly. She thought they should reach a consensus internally before approaching Wang Long and herself.
However, this also indicated that True Navigator was indeed a person of genuine character.
Sometimes, a person's character is not proven by how generous or magnanimous they appear. Even someone as seasoned as True Navigator, who usually seemed indecisive, made them feel more moved by his actions now.
“No! Not impulsive at all. You haven't seen Jiang Xue commanding in battle. If we can gain such an ally, it would be enough to fully unleash our divine clan's potential and completely overpower the Demon Clan and Giant Clan. This opportunity won't come again; if we let it slip now, we will regret it in the future.”
A group of Ancient Deities began to discuss, wondering what kind of performance Jiang Xue had shown that made True Navigator speak so highly of her.
Moreover, many felt unconvinced. They thought that it was just that Heavenly Slayer was too incompetent and was easily defeated by the Demon Clan. Even if I had been commanding in the main camp, relying on the strength of the divine clan would have been enough to stabilize the situation. As for elevating her so high, where does that leave our own elites?
What they did not know was that at that time, almost all external forces of the divine clan had turned into routs. If such tactics taught by Wang Long could be easily countered by strength, then the Demon Clan would not have been beaten so badly by Wang Long and a few others like Lu Rou.
These divine beings were still unaware. Even those Divine Warriors who had experienced that night, aside from those who fought alongside them in the northwest camp, mostly did not understand the overall situation. They only saw later that the Demon Clan was driven back and heard that this woman named Jiang Xue had commanded them, which led to an unconscious recognition of her.
However, after a day had passed, their pride in being the number one divine clan reignited. Additionally, throughout this day, Heavenly Slayer had been active in the camp. Although he did not completely discredit Jiang Xue, many people were no longer interested in her.
Some older and more prudent individuals believed that their divine clan had been allied for thousands of years and could suppress enemies like the Demon Clan and Giant Clan on their own. This indicated that alliances were unnecessary and that there was no need for them to seek allies.
Especially not with a group of former slaves they had kept!
This last point was something many proud members of the divine clan could not tolerate subconsciously!
“Ha ha, True Navigator, haven’t we already started cooperating? Don’t get too excited; even if we’re not rushing into an alliance, it’s almost like one,” said Heaven's Binding, smiling indifferently and ambiguously. Ultimately, he still did not want to create any binding agreements for them. He had long seen that there were indeed conflicts between their divine clan and Dragon City; if one day they needed to swallow Dragon City directly, wouldn’t this alliance be a huge joke?
"Indeed, Wang Long and Jiang Xue have had a pleasant collaboration with us, and we are grateful for their assistance, which is akin to forming an alliance. You two, if you encounter any troubles in Dragon City in the future, just let us know, and the Divine Race will do our utmost to help."
"Hehe, then we really should express our gratitude," Wang Long said with a carefree smile, which made the Elder of the Divine Race appear awkward. "Alright, True Navigator, we appreciate your goodwill. In any case, Xuanmen will always be our friend. Everyone, I believe you have many matters to attend to after the great battle, so we won't disturb you any longer. Farewell!"
Wang Long left decisively. The people of Dragon City, except for Jiang Xue, did not expect him to show no interest in facilitating this alliance at all.
No matter how proud the Divine Race was, they could not deny Jiang Xue's achievements and the enormous favor they owed him this time. Not to mention having a heavyweight figure like True Navigator backing them and advocating for them. There might still be a chance of success.
"Leader, should we reconsider?" an elder nearby quickly approached Wang Long and advised.
"No need. We never intended to form an alliance with them in our plans," Wang Long waved his hand and instructed Wang Yuanxian and others to prepare for departure.
Later, True Navigator showed a look of regret and hesitated before walking over.
"Wang Long, esteemed elders, please don't take their previous words to heart; they were merely being proud and stubborn."
"True Navigator, there's no need for that. Regardless, having you as a friend is our fortune. We will need your assistance many times in the future."
"You're too kind."
"However, this time..."
"Hehe, True Navigator, let's discuss everything when we visit you next time. The longer you stay here now, the more disadvantageous it will be for you when you return. Farewell."
True Navigator sighed deeply and could only bid them farewell.
"Brother Song Shuping, Brother Cai Burin, do you both think it's my fault for not insisting?"
Having traveled far from the Divine Clan's main camp, Wang Long couldn't help but laugh as he saw Song Shuping and even the usually carefree Cai Burin looking troubled.
"There's no denying it. I originally had no sense of belonging to the Game God Sect, and I only harbor resentment towards Victory Over Heaven and Heavenly Slayer. I just feel that it's a pity we missed this opportunity to reach an agreement with the Divine Clan."
"Enough with the pretense," Wang Long directly called him out. "Don't think I don't know what you're really thinking. Even if you feel no attachment to the Game God Sect, you still harbor hatred towards the Divine Clan, right? If that were true, why have you been hiding in Fire Mountain City all these years? Why not leave the Northern Qian Mountain Range?"
Cai Burin chimed in to support Wang Long: "What’s there to hide from our own brothers? Just now, I was thinking of talking directly to the Heavenly Binding Sect Master to persuade him to change his mind and accept us. But unexpectedly, he wasn't willing at all. I really don't understand what the Sect Master is thinking."
"Alright, I admit it. But I still respect the leader's decision, and I know that he must have his reasons for doing this."
"What reasons? To turn down such a strong ally? I can't see any reason for that," Cai Burin shook his head vigorously.
Wang Long laughed heartily: "Brother Cai, you're just finding ways to criticize me. Of course, I understand the strength of the Divine Clan, but allies gained through such means—do you really think they can last long? Do you think this will give you a shortcut to being accepted by the Divine Clan again?"
"Uh..." Cai Burin and Song Shuping's faces flushed red; they hadn't expected Wang Long to see through their thoughts so easily, so they could only cough a couple of times to cover it up.
