The other Supreme Gods were silent for a moment after hearing the Destiny Goddess' words. Although they knew she was right, there was still a problem.
'Mingyun, that's easy to say. We all know that a sacrifice is needed to do so, who will be the sacrifice?'
'Easy. Isn't there someone else here?'
'You mean the War Goddess.'
The Light God suddenly sneered after hearing this, 'I always thought you were a noble god, always doing things for the good of our world. However, I was wrong. Everything you did was just to save your life.'
The Destiny Goddess did not answer; she simply ignored his snide remark. As for her suggestion, the other four pondered it and realized that this was the best option.
However, before making a final decision, the Order God suddenly said: 'This will not work. A lot of time is needed for the protocol to activate. Do you think the Outsiders will give us that time?'
'Order God, you mean…' asked the Life Goddess.
'I will be the sacrifice. During that time, you guys ask the War Goddess to buy us enough time.'
The remaining four became quiet, and no one persuade him otherwise. All of them wanted to live through this catastrophe and return to their glorious era of lording over this world.
The Order God did mind this reaction. Truth be told, he has a great secret. Amongst all the Supreme Gods, he has lived the longest. One could say that his lifespan has long surpassed the 100 million year limit of Supreme God.
The reason for that was because he witnessed the coming of the God-King in this world. He was one of the first humans who listened to the God-King preaching, and one of the first gods that appeared in this world.
He survived the War of the Giant and the War of Extinction. Over the years, countless Supreme Gods have been born and died, replaced by others. But he was still alive.
As for the secret of his long life?
Another simple answer. His fanatic worship of the God-King. The Order God realized that the more pious his belief was, the longer his life span was. So, over the years, he has dedicated his faith to the God-King.
Every day, for the past few hundred million years, he has prayed to his god, never missing a single day.
…
A deep and profound light appeared in the Order God's eyes. There was not the tiniest bit of fear, sadness, or reluctance. Only excitement.
He was not afraid of death. To him, death meant that he will return to the Heavenly Kingdom of the God-King. If it was not because of his duty as a guardian to watch over this world, he would have long reunited with his God.
After making a decision, the Destiny Goddess immediately contacted the War Goddess:
"We may have a way to save this world. However, we need you to buy us some time. So, no matter what, do not let the Outsider interfere with us."
The War Goddess was momentarily surprised. Then she remembered the rumors that amongst the Supreme Gods, there was a special group known as Guardians tasked with protecting some great secrets of the world.
'Could the rumors be true? Could these five be the so-called Guardians?'
Although she was curious, the War Goddess knew that this was not the time to ask questions. So, she just nodded her head in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, five tokens flew from each of the Supreme Gods forming a pentagon, each of the Supreme Gods standing at a corner. A powerful golden light appeared on the Order God's body, making him holy and divine.
His blood, energy, soul, and law began to burn, used as a sacrifice to power up the five tokens.
Such a large movement immediately alerted Li Jun. He has just finished suppressing these Supreme Gods with his cauldron and prepared to choose his next target when he saw the movement over there.
Although he did not know what these people were doing, he knew that he should not let them continue. So, he flew in their direction. However, someone stopped him.
It was a god wearing only pants and his upper torso bare. The man was very muscular as his muscles bulged. Veins could be seen all over his body, and they looked like they would be popped at any moment.
Despite being slightly over 2 meters, his frame was quite large compared to regular humans. He looked more like a muscle bear than a human.
'God of Might," thought Li Jun as he had some information about this god. He used the Law of Might–which is essentially a small part of the Dao of Power.
As one of the most powerful Dao between Heaven and Earth, even if this god only comprehended one aspect of it, it still provided him with unparallel physical prowess.
Under normal circumstances, Li Jun would be more than happy to fight this god to test the limit of his body refinement. However, he had better priorities now.
Li Jun stabbed his spear and his opponent responded in turn by throwing a punch. Wherever the Might God's punch traveled, the air will twist under his strength.
