Chapter 461 An organized and planned retreat
Everyone was shocked after seeing this, but soon, a wave of explosions occurred from side to side as the remaining members of the Tang Yin organizations began to attack left and right as they retreated.
The explosions fell from side to side and killed a large number of people in the vicinity. They were not spirit energy explosions caused by cultivators, but rather the blasts from the cannons of spirit ships and even the spirit ships themselves.
Among all the reinforcements from the central region that had remained and were still frozen, none survived.
It was a combined attack that plunged this place into chaos after that deadly silence and caused the few forces of the gods to defend themselves with everything they had.
Naturally, this latest combined attack was not a spur-of-the-moment affair. It had already been planned.
All members of the Tang Yin organizations had received an order: 'In case I have to carry out my last plan and withdraw from the site, all spirit ships will be blown up. The explosion mechanisms are in place. Also, make sure to withdraw as soon as possible because that will trigger a mass explosion.'
That is why there were no casualties among the members of the Tang Yin organizations despite the continuous explosions.
But...
The terrifying screams of the members of the central region or the traitors of the Sword Sect and the Ding Family showed that the number of casualties among the enemies was abysmal.
Even the Goddess of Asgard was surprised by this, watching many powers receding in the distance as it all exploded from one side to the other.
'This... I guess this guy didn't need our help...' She thought and saw that explosions of different magnitudes also started to occur among the distant mountains as various spiritual arrays began to activate.
The explosions stopped several hours later.
The Goddess of Asgard, who saw this, could not help but feel stunned.
'An organized and planned retreat, to make the central region have to retreat at all costs and not be able to settle in the northwest... This guy is more capable than I ever imagined.
He destroyed everything important that was left in the Red Thunder Sect so that it wouldn't be looted, but at the same time, those explosions also sought to destroy the transport that brought this place to the central region, and who knows how many of them have died now.' She thought.
Perhaps this could be considered a defeat in many people's eyes. After all, Tang Yin and his people had retreated from the foundation they had built for many years.
But, if looked at from another point of view, this was more than a victory.
Three years ago, the Goddess of Asgard was sure that the northwest could not face any other regions, let alone the central region, with as much power as it demonstrated today.
Then Tang Yin appeared, and in only three years, he managed to turn a forgotten region into an existence capable of threatening the most powerful of today. Not only that, he managed to seriously wound them in a way they could not recover from.
How long would it take for the central region to recover? 100 years? No, gods are scarce for a reason. It is tough to reach that level, so even if 1,000 years pass, it is likely that the central region will not be able to recover.
But how long could it take Tang Yin to recover and reach the God Realm? In fact, with his ability, he only needed to reach the Realm of Divine Knowledge, and he could beat anyone in this world.
That's why...
If, for some reason, Tang Yin didn't die this time... The end of the central region would be very near.
'...Perhaps I should take him to the north and hide him until he matures a little more...' Thought the Goddess of Asgard with a slight longing to see an absolute colossus on the continent and a somewhat sly smile formed on her face.
Just at those moments, she looked down and noticed that the forces of the central region were on guard against her.
She sighed as she saw the mess they had become.

"It seems now we must say, once best region for you too. You have awakened a beast this time; I am beginning to look at the end of the central region on my horizon." She said, smiling and, without hesitation, turned around.
She knew that the central region could not stay in the northwest now.
Many of their allies had died, the Sun God was in a severe state, and so was the Supreme God. The Elder God was in the best condition, but he was still wounded internally.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of the many gods that came, only three could leave alive, which showed that the battle had been overwhelming.
Although they seemed to have won, the truth is that they lost much more than they had achieved, and in the end, the biggest threat and the target had escaped alive.
After the departure of the Goddess of Asgard, the central region sighed, slightly relieved.
Fighting a god in all his splendor at this time was something they could not do, so, without another word, they all withdrew.
They were ashamed, wounded, dying...
None of them could raise their heads.
True, the Red Thunder sect had been eliminated, and they realized that was a good thing, but... Tang Yin and Shi Yue, the two main threats, had escaped.
Only one god on the other side fell, and it's still not sure, as Long Jia was still alive when they disappeared, while they lost the vast majority.
'Shit... This is a crushing defeat...' It was a common thought in the minds of many of them...
.
Among the farthest mountains, three men stood steadfastly, like mighty mountains, watching the battle.
"Sir, won't you help the northwest region? We are supposed to owe them a debt for thousands of years and have been friends for thousands of years." One of them asked as he looked at the man before him.
The other to one side of him nodded.
"Even the Elder Lord lost the bet against Shi Yue back then; shouldn't we give them a hand?" the other one asked, and the man smiled.
"The central region is easy to remove, but the Elder Lord is in critical condition; I don't want to get into trouble that might cause his discomfort. We paid our debt when we prevented the destruction of the northwest thousands of years ago; if the northwest is wiped off the map, it's not my problem." He replied.
"But sir, you and any of us can easily beat the Sun God or any of them; I think giving them a hand and gaining the favor of that Tang Yin, who we don't know where he came from, is a good idea. It's a genetic anomaly that has never been seen before, and we could also then show our strength to the mainland by imposing our supremacy; why don't we do that?"
"Hehe, sounds tempting, but I still say we stay out of this. Although Tang Yin is certainly talented and powerful, it would be worth having him among our ranks... But, there's no need to stick our noses everywhere; we're not vigilantes, and he's not our target." He replied.
The two behind him could only nod; they didn't think it was vigilante to help a friend of thousands of years, but they could do nothing if he saw it that way.
Still, for some reason, they felt that letting Tang Yin go this time would be a big problem for their plans, and they couldn't understand why they felt that way.
"Our target is not Tang Yin, but that girl he stole from the Elder God... Such a good Heavenly Body cannot be in the hands of anyone but us. Only then can we end the supremacy of the other great sects and make them dependent on us."
"Did you find her?" he asked after saying that, as he looked at them, and they shook their heads.
"We don't understand where they hid her; it's very likely they used a teleportation array to another region so the Elder God can't follow them. We didn't manage to track it yet." The two of them replied, and the man in front of them frowned in annoyance.
"Tsk, how annoying it is when ants gather to bother us. That stupid association of that guy called Silver Assassin doesn't make sense either; how the hell is it so powerful? And since when did it exist? It wasn't enough with the biggest clandestine organization of assassins on the continent, but now this second organization has emerged.
Everything seems to be getting out of hand lately." He replied angrily, took one last look at the rubble left in this place after the battle, and then disappeared.
He was angry, so the other two followed close behind him, leaving the northwest region in profound silence.
