The addition of dragons made the upcoming Great Holy War even more mysterious and complex.

Although the entire clan has become increasingly declining, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, and no one in the Segis Universe dares to underestimate the power of the Dragon Clan.

It is worth mentioning that the core strength of the Dragon Clan is not actually the vast number of adult dragons, but those several Dragon Gods who spend most of their time in slumber.

As long as the Dragon Gods do not participate, the most terrifying power of the dragons will not be unleashed.

Of course, except for a few Dragon Gods like the Platinum Dragon King Reinhardt, the majority of Dragon Gods are not slumbering in the Segis World, but are scattered across different planar realms in the Segis Universe.

From this perspective, as long as the Segis World is not completely unsealed, they cannot return and can only stay in their nests and sleep deeply.

"So... Have the dragons also joined the war?"

Deep in the temple of the mountains in Dream Island, the ethereal form of Ancient God Guy gazed toward the direction of the Segis Continent, looking enigmatic.

"Yes, the dragons have also joined the war. This war is almost evolving into an all-out battle across the whole continent of the Segis World."

In front of Guy, the Ancient Fire God Surt smiled wryly.

"Haha, probably lured by those Elf Chosen Ones; those intriguing fellows are entirely different from the elves of the past. Perhaps that little Ulynoos is having a headache."

Guy chuckled.

Surt instinctively nodded in agreement.

Since the revival, he had traveled extensively on the Segis Continent, and had interacted with many Elf Chosen Ones while concealing his identity.

How to say... They are indeed a fascinating group, smart, witty, passionate, but sometimes a bit silly.

Uhm... "silly" seems to be a popular word among the Elf Clan, something Surt learned from them, apparently similar to the term "fool" in the continental context, though it seems somewhat neutral and not entirely derogatory at times.

Eh?

No, wait...

Surt has traveled the continent before, gaining some understanding of the Elf Chosen Ones, but how did Lord Guy know? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Surt paused.

It is known that the original form of this ancient god leader was sealed, and to cut ties with Segis concerns, he always ignored matters on the continent.

Thinking of this, Surt couldn’t help but glance at the ancient Divine before him.

The other stood by the pillars of the temple, gazing at the sky outside the window with profound eyes.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Surt felt the other seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Speaking of which, since Imhettel left the island, this leader of the Reincarnation Sect has always been troubled by heavy concerns.

However, it should not be due to the Titan Giant.

Surt already knew the counterpart was rescued by the Eve Goddess, so... Lord Guy is likely worried about something else.

But, what exactly is it?

Surt was quite curious.

Yet, one thing is certain: around the time the Titan Giant left the island, something happened which he did not know about.

"Surt."

While curiosity brewed in Surt’s heart, Guy suddenly called his name.

Looking at the counterpart, this ancient Divine gently turned around with complex eyes:

"What do you think... what gives the Life Church the confidence to wage an all-out war against the Eternal Church?"

Surt paused.

For a moment, he even thought the counterpart spoke the sequence of churches wrong.

But the next moment he came to realize.

Although the Eternal Church did first initiate war against the Life Church, he who constantly follows the continental situation understood it’s a compelled move for the Eternal Church.

No other reason, since Diana’s return, the Life Church has become more active on the continent, expanding ever faster.

One side swiftly rises, while the other continues to weaken, choosing war is only natural for the Eternal Church.

However, during this process, the Life Church, or rather the Life Goddess, facing the overwhelmingly massive entity that is the Eternal Church of the entire Segis Universe, portrays a strong fighting spirit and confidence...

In Lord Guy’s words: that is confidence.

That definitely is not just the confidence to battle the Eternal Church on Segis Continent.

More like the confidence to contend with the Eternal Church of the entire Universe, or say, with the current era’s dominator, the strongest in the Segis Universe, the Eternal Lord.

Confidence...

Surt fell into contemplation.

Until Guy’s voice interrupted his thoughts:

"Do you think... could it be Eve has recovered something? Just what kind of existence are the Elf Chosen Ones?"

"Recovered something? Elf Chosen Ones?"

Surt wondered.

Upon hearing Guy’s words, his curiosity piqued, and he finally confirmed the counterpart probably knew some inside information he didn’t, likely related to Eve.

However, Guy shook his head, seemingly unwilling to elaborate further:

"Forget it, consider I never mentioned it."

With that said, the leader of the Reincarnation Sect ancient god sighed softly, dispersing the avatar and returning to the sealed oil lamp.

Staring at the direction Guy vanished, Surt couldn’t help but pause.

For some reason, he seemed to see a trace of wavering from the counterpart.

...

The happenings in the temple of the mountains did not affect the attitude of Ideal Country and Dream Island.

While the entire continent was impacted by the war between two grand churches, either actively or passively drawn into it, these ancient gods with extremely low presence continued to stay detached from worldly affairs.
