Is that a Wisp?

"That's what the two of you are going to focus on?" The Zamuria Emperor snorted. "But what do you have to say about Rumria and Guria?"

"What do you mean?" The Rumria Emperor frowned, expressing a tinge of anger.

"Haven't they joined the Mountain Sect as well?" The Zamuria Emperor frowned. "Isn't that why we aligned in the first place? Zamuria, Rumria, and Guria, with the three geniuses of our continent joining the Mountain Sect, our reputation has taken a serious hit."

"After all, just the fact that every hidden powerhouse in our continent arrived just to watch the fight between them shows the prestige their names have and the special position they have in the hearts of every cultivator from our three continents," the Zamuria Emperor said in response.

"Are you saying that since both your daughters have also joined the Mountain Sect, you also have a relationship with it?" The Zamuria Emperor snorted, watching the other two Emperors turn silent in response.

Upon seeing that the conversation was going nowhere, he said, "There's only one outcome to their actions."

"What's that?" the Guria Emperor asked in seriousness.

"Either we join hands with the Mountain Sect and be ruled over it, or Zamuria, Rumria, and Guria reach the Primal God Realm in the future and forcefully make the three continents submit to their rule, as representatives of the Mountain Sect, I mean," the Zamuria Emperor spoke.

There was silence following that as the other two Emperors had also realized the seriousness of the situation. Honestly, they had never thought about Guria and Rumria defecting to the Mountain Sect.

When all the powerhouses had launched an attack, Zamura had deflected them all. Following that, Krune had healed them. The situation was still fine until then.

But when the Land Spirit from the Sub-Realm announced that it recognized the Mountain Sect as the fourth party eligible to contest over its ownership, both Rumria and Guria had responded that they would like to join the Mountain Sect.

Honestly, that outcome was startling. Thankfully, only those at the Elementary God Realm and above managed to hear their decisions. So, they were still keeping it under wraps.

However, at the moment news came out that both Guria and Rumria had joined the Mountain Sect, it would be a massive blow to them as more and more cultivators that had admired them would also express willingness to join the Mountain Sect.

That would be an act of shooting themselves in the foot to feed their enemy.

Plus, this wasn't a situation that could be controlled for long anyway. After all, Rumria and Guria only had to make an appearance on the Celestial Battlefield by appearing on the Mountain Sect's side. That would cause the morale of their army to quickly collapse.

"We have ruled over our respective continents for very long. I'm sure none of us would like to give away our position of authority," the Zamuria Emperor said. "We've long since gotten used to it. Had the leader of the Mountain Sect been a powerhouse at the Primal God Realm that's able to suppress us all, then we could somehow still grit our teeth and endure it. However, he's just a spawn."

The Zamuria Emperor gritted his teeth, recalling Zamura's bold statement that if he were ever to mention the matter in front of Zamuria, then Zamura would wipe out the entire empire.

Recalling that threat only caused him anger.

"You've mentioned that he's a spawn many times. Just who is his father?" the Rumria Emperor asked, curious to know of Zamura's background.

"His father was a bandit in the Guria Continent. He impregnated Zamuria by force when she had escaped to the Guria Continent after the first prince had devoured her Spiritual Incarnation," the Zamuria Emperor sighed as he explained.

The two Emperors verified the claim, understanding that Zamuria indeed hated her empire to a certain extent.

"But she was pretty proud about her name."

"That she was, and she is even now." The Zamuria Emperor nodded. "It has always been in her character to be proud. Though, before entering that Sub-Realm, she was still on my side and had hated her spawn, Zamura. But, something seems to have changed now."

"Not only did she accept him as her son, but Zamuria also severed ties with me," the Zamuria Emperor spoke in anger.

"It seems you're indeed speaking the truth." As it could be verified, the other two Emperors sighed, massaging their foreheads.

"What shall we do now? Now only is our army incapacitated, but the most promising geniuses of our respective continents have already defected to the Mountain Sect." The Guria Emperor sighed.

Honestly, he hadn't ever expected his daughter to take such an action. He hadn't ever treated her wrongly. In truth, he had pampered Guria pretty well, training her properly to make her strong enough to obtain anything she desired of her own strength.

And that only made it all the harder for him to bear the news of her betrayal. 'Why, just why have you entered the Mountain Sect? You have access to better resources here. And in the future, the entire Guria Continent would be yours to command. Why head into a downtrodden sect of weaklings?'

'Wait, I still have a method to contact her.' The Guria Emperor thought as his Godly Energy riled up, establishing a line of communication with Guria.

Upon seeing his actions, the Rumria Emperor also did the same, contacting Rumria as well, wishing to know her reason for betraying her continent.

"I didn't betray anyone, dad," came Guria's response. "There's a deeper reason for me joining the Mountain Sect. After a century passes, you'll come to understand the truth. Until then, just let things proceed in the current fashion. Focus all your efforts on destroying all hatred between the cultivators from the three continents. And once that's done, make them charge at the Mountain Sect."

"W-What are you saying? Nothing makes sense." The Guria Emperor frowned.

"You'll come to understand it eventually, dad. Know this, neither I, nor Rumria, or even Zamuria for that matter have betrayed our continents," Guria's voice responded. "And for that matter, we won't be participating in the upcoming fights as well. So, none will know about us defecting to the Mountain Sect."
