Everyone understood that with the Investiture of the Gods present, Li Jing and the others had no choice but to retreat.
After Taibai Venus left, the Four Heavenly Kings led a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals into the council hall.
A group of soldiers stood outside the door, their eyes red, asking Li Jing inside, "Heavenly King, does the Jade Emperor want us to retreat?"
Li Jing nodded.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals shouted, "I won't retreat! My brothers all died on the battlefield, and I want to avenge them!"
"I won't retreat either! If the Ancient Demon Clan is so brutal and enters the Immortal Realm, will our families have a chance to survive?"
"Whoever wants to retreat can retreat, but I won't!"
"..."
The group of soldiers were no longer the exuberant youths they once were.
After a year of trials, their faces had taken on a resolute look, having shed blood on the battlefield.
