"I'm only responsible for passing on messages. Whether they believe it or want to join forces is their own business."

Yang Yan shrugged, looking indifferent as he continued:

"I'm too busy taking care of my own people to have the time to worry about those guys."

"If they end up fighting amongst themselves before the Demon Race arrives, I wouldn't mind watching the show."

Ao Tian shook his head, rolled his eyes, and said:

"Oh please, you're all talk now, but I bet you'll be worrying yourself sick soon."

Given the mentor-friend relationship they've had for so many years, he knew Yang Yan very well.

Clearly a good-hearted person, but he'd never admit it.

"So, what's your plan moving forward?"

Ao Tian casually waved his hand, causing a mostly intact stone stump to fly over and land in front of him. He sat down, looking at Yang Yan and asked.

"First, let's get the word out and see what attitude the Hidden World people have!"

The invasion of the Demon Race concerns the entire race, not personal grudges.

Even though Yang Yan is quite anxious, he can't just go tie everyone together now, can he?

These things depend on awareness and self-awareness.

As Yang Yan just said, if they hear the news and still want to fight among themselves for their own interests, there's nothing he can do.

"But we can't just sit around, we need to be fully prepared."

"Although the connection between the Hidden World and the current world is now stable, the current world is much more fragile compared to the Hidden World."

"If the Demon Race wants to invade, they need to find a way to drag the battlefield into the Hidden World Space first."

"Otherwise, after such a massive war, regardless of which side wins, the current world will collapse due to the spatial disintegration from the battle."

"That's not a small task!"

Ao Tian rubbed his chin with a big hand, frowning, he said:

"We don't know when the Demon Race will show up, so we can only constantly monitor the current world for large-scale abnormal spatial fluctuations."

"The moment they descend into the current world, we need to completely cut off the link between the Hidden World and the current world."

"The internal spaces of the current world and Hidden World are almost perfectly consistent, but due to spatial stability, the current world is anchored to the Hidden World Space."

Zhuge Wushuang wanted to show off, and as soon as Ao Tian finished speaking, she jumped out and said:

"To enter the current world, they must pass through the space layer of the Hidden World."

"So as long as we can figure out how to detect the spatial fluctuations of the current world and seize the moment, we can make it so that the Demon Race can only descend into the Hidden World."

Neither Yang Yan nor Ao Tian objected.

But saying it is easy, doing it is very difficult.

Currently, only a few people have the ability to monitor the entire current world space fluctuations in real-time.

But that's just the monitoring.

To sever the connection between the two spaces during the Demon Race's invasion is impossible even for those people working together.

This level of altering spatial structure is essentially transforming the world's Space Origin, which is entirely beyond the realm of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, just having the Demon Race descend into the Hidden World is already a headache-inducing task.

Unless Yang Yan and Ao Tian are willing to sacrifice their own Origin and lives to forcibly cut the connection between the two spaces.

But only fools would do that.

Even if they were willing, their combat power on the battlefield is far more valuable than severing the space link.

If they die just to prevent the Demon Race from descending into the current world, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

"We'll think slowly about how to cut the space between the two worlds, but monitoring the current world space fluctuations..."

As Yang Yan spoke, his gaze shifted to Ao Tian.

The implication was clear.

There's no one else they can count on, so they must rely on themselves.

Hence, Yang Yan naturally turned his gaze to Ao Tian.

"Can we refuse such a great task?"

Ao Tian frowned even deeper.

Yang Yan sneered and said dismissively:

"Then you think about how to cut the space of the two worlds!"

"I won't take advantage of you for this glorious task of saving the world. I won't argue with you. When the time comes, I'll personally build a monument for you in the Hidden World."

Though the former is challenging, it can be done with some effort.

As for the latter, the only way Ao Tian can think of accomplishing it is by sacrificing himself.

Between the two choices, the decision is clear as day.

Although Yang Yan didn't mention if there's another way, Ao Tian believed that since he said it this way, he must have a plan.

Admitting this guy is kind-hearted, Ao Tian doesn't deny.

But sacrificing himself, Yang Yan isn't that foolish.

"My task isn't easy, either. As for that old Hamantton, we're counting on you to take down his lair later."

Ao Tian was always straightforward; he slapped his thigh and stood up, casually dropping a sentence before disappearing into thin air.

Monitoring the entire current world isn't easy.

Before the Demon Race appeared, Ao Tian, one of the Four Emperors, the Ice Emperor, couldn't spare any effort for other tasks.

"King, cutting off the space between the current world and the Hidden World is no simple task. You're not really planning to..."

After Ao Tian left, Zhuge Wushuang looked at Yang Yan with some concern.

She initially wanted to ask if Yang Yan planned to sacrifice himself, but on second thoughts, that's not something he would foolishly do.

"Stop guessing, I'm not that noble!"

Yang Yan didn't need to think to guess what she wanted to say. He rolled his eyes and said:

"It's time to call Jing Hong and the rest back to see if they found anything."

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, the three of them couldn't help but brighten their eyes, looking puzzled and uncertain.

Since Jing Hong's injury recovery last time, Yang Yan sent the rest of the swords on a confidential investigation.

Even with the series of events regarding Hamantton, they didn't partake, and no news has come back yet.

Zhuge Wushuang had tried to probe Yang Yan for information but couldn't get a word out of him.

She was a little upset about it for a while.

Now that Yang Yan has called them back, could it be that he is preparing for a full-scale sweep on Hamantton?

With this in mind, smiles broke out on the three faces.

Since their last separation, it had been quite a while since they, the ten swords, had gathered together.

After returning to the villa, Yang Yan didn't rest and spread the news about the approaching invasion of the Domain Demon Race.

The method of spreading the news was quite simple, just having Xiaocao post it on a special website.

This site can't be accessed by ordinary people, and even if computer experts get in, they wouldn't understand.

This is because the content on the website is written in a secret language used among the upper echelons of the Hidden World.

Moreover, this secret language is graded.

Sometimes top-secret messages are only understandable by a few Titled Powerhouses.

And even the medium-level secret language may not be understood by those in the Hidden World if their identity isn't high enough, even if they are quite powerful.
