Long Yi easily left the Eighth Ring and entered the Seventh. Within the Seventh Ring, as usual, there was a large number of Gods of War guarding the perimeter of the passage, waiting for new gods to arrive. When Long Yi appeared, those Gods of War just about to take action, froze in place because, for some unknown reason, a voice seemed to arise in their hearts, telling them absolutely not to make a move.
It was very baffling.
Some of the Gods of War shook their heads vigorously and still charged at Long Yi, shouting loudly, but as they approached him, they simply vanished into thin air. Without any warning, without any burst of Divine Power, without the surge of rules, they simply disappeared out of nowhere, along with their Divine Status and Divine Power, as if they had never existed.
