"Father God, all materials have been transported," reported Taotie, stepping forward as the leader.
"Was there something urgent you wanted to announce to us?"
Without hesitation, Bai Ze responded, "Yes, there is indeed something important to announce."
"We are about to engage in a planar war with another planet master."
"I've gathered you all here to prepare for the battle in advance."
Upon hearing this, the gathered beings grew visibly more serious. However, their expressions remained calm, a testament to their experience in countless battles and brushes with death.
"Lord, do you require my assistance?"
Suddenly, a terrifying figure wreathed in the aura of annihilation appeared in Bai Ze's view. It was Heipajedon, who had returned after exploring the cosmos.
Now at the mid tier commander level, Heipajedon was indisputably Bai Ze's most powerful combatant.
"Uh... no, that's not necessary. The opposing force isn't very strong," Bai Ze replied.
"Besides, I am your Father God, am I not?" He suddenly posed the question.
The gathered creatures exchanged puzzled glances at the seemingly odd question. Eventually, Taotie, the quickest to catch on, raised his head and replied, "Indeed!"
"Our lives were granted by Father God."
"You are as great as a father to us, and it is our eternal honor to serve you!"
Hearing this, Bai Ze nodded and said, "Since that is the case, I must tell you: The planetary master we are about to face in this planar war is, in fact, your Mother Goddess."
His words left the creatures stunned.
What?
The opponent... is the Mother Goddess?
While their intelligence wasn't extraordinary, they weren't fools. They clearly understood the implications of the term "Mother Goddess."
But why would Father God have them...
"No need to delve into the details," Bai Ze interrupted.
"All you need to know is that this planar war is purely an exercise."
"Your primary objective is to subdue the opponent without going all out."
"I've decided that the Haihuang and Roc clans will represent us in this battle."
Bai Ze continued, "The creatures on Xia Yinyue's planet are rather weak. If I were to send my strongest, like the Meteorite Insect Clan or the Sword and Shield Clan, they'd obliterate the opposition in seconds."
"That would hardly ignite their fighting spirit and might even traumatize them."
"I understand, my Lord," the beings responded in unison.
"But Father God, what exactly should we do?"
Bai Ze explained the plan for the upcoming battle and how they were to execute it.
As an additional precaution, Bai Ze decided to bring Aurora along.
After all, it was better to have a strong presence to hold the fort. If they ended up losing despite holding back, Xia Yinyue would never let him hear the end of it.
With Aurora's combat capabilities as a mid tier commander, she wasn't as overpowering as others but was just perfect for this exercise.
"Understood, my Lord," Aurora replied.
With that, Bai Ze finalized his plan. He dismissed all non participating clans, leaving only the Roc and Haihuang clans.
The two clans, now gathered, numbered roughly 300 combined.
"A bit few, but it should suffice," Bai Ze mused.
Imagining Xia Yinyue's delicate fairies and angels, then comparing them to his towering creatures each over 30 meters long he felt no real concern.
Satisfied, Bai Ze exited his world.
When he opened his eyes, he found Xia Yinyue staring at him expectantly.
"Alright, Yinyue, everything is ready on my end," Bai Ze said.
"We can start the planar war whenever you're ready."
He extended his hand toward her.
Initiating a planar war usually required a referee and a battle arena.
However, since this was a friendly match, who would notice if no one mentioned it?
"Alright, let's begin now," Xia Yinyue said, extending her hand.
The moment their hands clasped, both closed their eyes.
Suddenly, a system prompt echoed in Bai Ze's mind:
[Ding! The system has detected that the host is initiating a planar war with another planetary master.]
[Ding! The system offers three options for the planar war. Please select one:]
Normal Mode: Victory is achieved when one side surrenders or all creatures on one side are annihilated. The victor receives land compensation from the losing side.
Friendly Mode: Victory conditions are the same as Normal Mode, but the losing side incurs no penalties.
Deathmatch Mode: Surrender is invalid. Victory is achieved only when one side's creatures are completely wiped out. The losing planet is entirely consumed by the victor.
"So... the system has such a feature?" Bai Ze was pleasantly surprised.
He hadn't known there were multiple modes for planar wars. The third option, in particular, seemed terrifying.
Of course, initiating a planar war required mutual consent. If one party agreed but the other didn't, none of these options would apply.
Since this was a battle with Xia Yinyue, the choice was obvious.
"System, I choose Mode 2!" Bai Ze confirmed.
[Ding! Choice confirmed. Awaiting opponent's confirmation...]
Meanwhile, on her planet, Xia Yinyue watched with anticipation.
It was her first time battling Bai Ze, so she was understandably excited.
Suddenly, a pop up appeared beside her. Without much thought, she clicked to confirm.
"I agree to the planar war!"
[Ding! Both parties' consent was detected.]
[Ding! The planar war is officially commencing. Merging both worlds...]
In an instant, darkness enveloped their vision.
When they opened their eyes again, the two found themselves in a peculiar space.
It was a special arena designed for planar wars, similar to the one Bai Ze had used in his match against the students of South City South High School.
Below them, two planets were visible, separated by a thick barrier of air.
On the right was Xia Yinyue's chaotic, energy rich planet.
On the left was Bai Ze's massive, lush green planet, radiating an overwhelming presence.
