The First God furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "Is there even a need to say it? Su Yang has advanced to become the Strongest. Now, on the Human Clan's side, the strength of the Strongest surpasses ours, so of course they will seize this moment to seek revenge on us!"
"Then... then what do we do now?" an anxious Strongest asked.
"What to do? They're already at our doorstep, so we can only fight!" the First God said sternly. "Hmph, their power is indeed slightly stronger than ours. However, we don't need to fear them. Our task is to hold them off, preventing them from wantonly slaughtering our people. Afterward, either the Heavenly Venerable comes out to deal with them, or we give rise to a sufficient number of Strongests on our side to strike back at them."
"Hmph, those Heavenly Warriors of the Human Clan are basically all gone. The Human Clan is now like a tree without roots or a river without a source, unable to produce any more Strongests. As long as we can produce a few more Strongests, we can completely overpower them, and they'll never be able to surpass us again. This is our greatest advantage now!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; what the First God said was undeniably true. For the Guardian Gods, as long as they held through this period, the Human Clan would truly be powerless against them.
Under the First God's leadership, the Strongests of the Guardian Gods flew out of the Immortal Palace, confronting Su Yang and the others from a distance.
The seven Strongests whose bodies had been shattered by Su Yang earlier quickly recovered upon coming out, given the abundant Spiritual Energy outside.
However, while their bodies recovered, their strength had diminished significantly. With such grievous injuries, it's impossible to regain their original strength in such a short time!
"First God, you really dare to come out?" the Taoist Venerable said coldly. "What, realizing you have nowhere to run, so you intend to come out and face death?"
The First God wore a cold expression, ignoring the Taoist Venerable, and only stared coldly at Su Yang.
"Su, you stepped over a million Human Clan lives to become the Strongest, don't you feel guilty?" the First God said coldly. "Those people you desperately protected all died to protect you in the end. Is this what you call protecting all beings of the Human Clan? Hmph, I think you truly wanted to see them dead!"
Su Yang's face turned cold, knowing that the First God was deliberately trying to provoke him. But this matter was a deep wound in Su Yang's heart, and with the First God bringing it up, it pained him greatly.
"First God, those million Human Clan lives were killed by you, Guardian Gods!" the Heaven Slayer said in a deep voice. "We're here today to avenge them!"
"Heh..." the First God sneered. "Revenge? What right do you have to say such things? Su, if you truly felt guilty, you shouldn't have desperately advanced to the Strongest back then; you should have preserved their lives. In the end, for your selfish desire to become the Strongest, you watched them die before you. Now, do you still have the face to claim revenge on us? Heh, if you truly want revenge, shouldn't you be holding yourself accountable?"
"First God, at this point, you still want to twist the truth. Do you really take us for fools?" the Human Emperor declared angrily. "We're already here; this battle is inevitable. First God, enough talk, let the battle begin!"
As the Human Emperor spoke, he charged forward, heading straight for the First God.
The First God furrowed his brows; he wanted to say a few more words to provoke Su Yang, to weaken Su Yang's combat power. Now the Human Emperor initiated the battle directly, and he barely had time to say what he intended.
"Hmph, what's the use of saying so much? Those million Human Clan warriors all died for Su Yang in the end; this is an unchangeable fact!" the First God shouted. "Su Yang, if I were you, I would end myself to console the world. Yet you still have the face to live, hmph, claiming to be some sort of leader of the Human Clan, pah, what qualifies you to lead the Human Clan?"
"Though I am not the leader of the Guardian Gods, I know to protect all Guardian Gods. And you? You caused so many Human Clan members to die for you; can you live with yourself?"
The Human Emperor had already reached the First God, battling him while yelling to provoke Su Yang.
Su Yang seemed to be closed off by the First God's words, falling into silence.
The Demon Lord urged anxiously, "Su Yang, don't be deceived by his words. Those million Humans were all killed by the Guardian Gods. We will avenge them by killing these Guardian Gods and the Heavenly Venerable!"
"Yes, Brother Su, don't listen to him. He's intentionally trying to provoke you, to make you feel guilty. But the ones truly responsible for the deaths of those people are the Guardian Gods!" Qi'er shouted loudly.
Others also spoke out to comfort Su Yang, but he kept his head down, saying nothing.
The First God's face beamed with joy; he merely wanted to provoke Su Yang to weaken his combat power. Unexpectedly, Su Yang became completely unresponsive, an outcome most beneficial to the Guardian Gods.
Seizing this opportunity to severely wound a few Human Clan Strongests, the Guardian Gods could then take the upper hand.
The First God signaled to the others, who immediately understood, and they signaled for the other Strongests to launch an attack.
Now, with Su Yang not yet making a move, it was the perfect time to severely wound a few Human Clan Strongests—an opportunity too rare to miss.
"Su Alliance Leader!" several Strongests from the Human Clan shouted anxiously, but Su Yang remained unresponsive.
"Come on, can't be this fragile, can it?" the Supreme Dragon Emperor wondered aloud while entangled with a Guardian God, "Su Alliance Leader, hold on. To be taken down by just words, what a disgrace that would be to spread!"
"It's not any less disgraceful if you say less!" the Eternal Divine Emperor retorted.
"I'm just stating the truth!" the Supreme Dragon Emperor mumbled.
Seeing Su Yang sunk into silence, Heaven Slayer and others furrowed their brows. They never imagined Su Yang would end up in this state, seemingly depressed by words? This was truly problematic.
Alone, they might not be a match for the Guardian Gods!
The Guardian Gods had gone all out. This was a rare opportunity, and naturally, they would not miss it, aiming to severely wound several Human Clan Strongests swiftly.
The Supreme Dragon Emperor and others had only recently advanced to the level of the Strongest, and were thus the weakest and most targeted, under siege by multiple Guardian Gods' Strongests.
In such circumstances, these Strongests were in deep trouble, the battle incredibly tough. If it continued, they would gain nothing and might even suffer serious injuries.
At this moment, Su Yang, who had remained silent, suddenly raised his head.
