Unexpectedly, there's such a bizarre cultivation technique in the world. No wonder these people can ambush around the Main God Altar without being noticed. If what Hermes said is true, then these "Shadow People" are undoubtedly "Night Killers".
From Aphrodite's words, Ye Shikai had already determined that she wanted all the people from the Three Temples to die here. Although it seemed like she wanted to perish together with the Twelve Main Gods, upon careful thought, it was not the case. Aphrodite must have prepared an escape plan; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for her to win over a few newly appointed Main Gods. At the very least, they wouldn't foolishly assist Aphrodite knowing it was a path of mutual destruction.
