Chapter 2692
"It sounds very noble," Zhu Yanyi commented with a click of her tongue.
Yan Aohan added, "It does feel very noble."
The Black Emperor laughed helplessly. "Can you two not make it sound so easy?"
"You are overthinking it," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Often, we think too much, which creates these feelings."
She turned to the Black Emperor. "I think this War of Gods is a good thing."
Her expression turned serious. "Because once you become a god, you lose your goals. Life becomes very bitter."
She did not say it out loud, but the other gods understood. Gods without pursuits might give up faster than humans.
Among the six present, besides Zhu Yanyi, the others had achieved the status of Emperor Venerable. They were supreme beings in this universe. Having reached the peak, they had forgotten their pursuits. Over time, they lost interest in everything.
This is why mortals think gods are heartless and cold. Gods have seen too much, and their lives are boring. Eventually, they have no desires.
Zhu Yanyi continued, "Besides, did you hear the rules? There is no limit on the number of participants. Why no limit?
Because after a certain time, all gods enter a period of unexplainable fatigue. Only by entering conflict and facing blood tests can they remember their duties. That is why I think this War of Gods is truly good. Otherwise, with endless life, gods would become cold and indifferent. It would be better to be a puppet."
Hearing this, the Black Emperor’s eyes lit up. "In that case, I should invite more people. I will call the Flame Emperor and the Flame Empress."
"Flame Emperor?" Zhu Yanyi almost heard 'Yan Emperor'.
"Yes, the Flame Emperor. He is a good god and our friend. Originally, he was not purely Eastern. After a reincarnation, he became Eastern. His wife loves food," the Black Emperor briefly introduced them.
"We can also post an announcement to see who else wants to join," the Empress suggested casually.
There were not many true gods in the Divine Realm. Creating a universe and keeping it stable was not easy.
The Black Emperor nodded. "I agree. But we must screen them. It is the first time, and we do not know the details. We should send some representatives first."
The Immortal Emperor spoke up. "In that case, do not look for others. With the Flame Emperor and Empress, we will have four couples, eight people. Quality over quantity. We are mainly here to test the waters."
The Black Emperor remained silent. Yan Aohan said, "I think our group is already unique. Black Emperor, you are the supreme ruler. The Empress is your wife and the Mother of Nature. Immortal Emperor rules the Immortal Realm. Immortal Empress rules Love. I control reincarnation. My wife is the God of Medicine. Flame Emperor controls fire. Flame Empress is the God of Fortune. Do we need other gods?"
The Black Emperor pondered briefly, then nodded. "Yan Emperor, you are right. Our eight-person team covers all kinds of specialties."
"I said it earlier. Let’s form the 'Chinese God Team'," the Empress smiled.
The Black Emperor shook his head. "Let’s call it the 'Supreme Team'. It is more general. If we use 'Chinese Team', others might not understand the name."
The Immortal Emperor said, "Good idea. The 'Supreme Team' from the Supreme Universe will surely become famous across all universes."
"Then let’s call it the Supreme Team," the Empress agreed. Naming was just for convenience.
Zhu Yanyi had no objection. Among the eight, her cultivation was the lowest. She let her husband handle the decisions.
The Black Emperor said, "Good. It is decided. When things here settle, I will invite the Flame Emperor. Then we eight will train for synergy.
Each couple already has long-standing synergy. But now we need synergy among eight people. So we should live together daily."
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Don’t tell me you plan to make us all live together?"
The Black Emperor looked at her and nodded. "How did you know? I plan for everyone to live together to build synergy through daily contact."
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow and touched her forehead. "Do as you please. But you are all Emperor Venerables. Please restrain yourselves around me. I am only a God Venerable."
"Hehe," the Black Emperor laughed. "We are not your enemies. Why would we suppress you with pressure?"
"This is a warning," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Yan Aohan. "Husband, am I right?"
"Right," Yan Aohan nodded without thinking.
The Black Emperor laughed in frustration. "Even if you said medicine is sweet, your husband would agree. He blindly dotes on you."
"Isn’t that normal? Are you not the same with the Empress?" Zhu Yanyi reminded her with a grin.
The Black Emperor sighed. Dealing with Zhu Yanyi, she had nothing to say. Besides, she was right. She treated her wife the same way.
"I am very curious about the gods from other universes," the Immortal Emperor said.
"I have been Immortal Emperor for so long. Without opponents, as the Yan Empress said, I might get bored to death. Luckily, I have my wife by my side."
The Black Emperor nodded. "Others envy gods. But being a god is not easy. The cost of long life is becoming empty. I hope this War of Gods does not disappoint me."
Being a god or Emperor Venerable, they possessed the infinite life mortals envied. But they also lost many things, including their interests.
