“Really? Don’t lie to me,” Li Yuan said.
“I naturally wouldn’t lie to you,” the Boundary Spirit said, “I’m not a human after all.”
Li Yuan was at a loss for words, “Wait for me.”
Swiftly,
Li Yuan used the communication device to report the situation he controlled to the external war base.
At the same time, he requested an investigation into everything about the ‘Fire Divine Being.’
Of course, Li Yuan did not mention the Boundary Spirit, only saying that he had found traces of the ‘Fire Divine Being’ in the relics of several Semi Divine Level prodigies, suspecting the involvement of other forces.
…
“Fire Divine Being?”
“Tied to divine-level forces?”
“Could it be that other forces capable of birthing divines are getting involved?” In the war base, Yan Yunhu and Tavares, responsible for staying behind, were shocked when they received Li Yuan’s message.
At the same time, they vaguely came to a realization.
“No wonder so many strong Prime Warriors have emerged, the new ones can even compete with Wu Manong and the others.”
“They’re all ones that never appeared in the intelligence from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom before.”
“Turns out, they came over from other major forces in the Immortal Ruins Civilization,” Yan Yunhu and Tavares both speculated in their hearts.
They didn’t dare to delay, sending a message to Lude Nef, Wu Manong, and others who were fighting in the defense of the reproduction zones.
At the same time, they urgently reported up the information about the ‘Fire Divine Being.’
…
Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.
Inside a large conference room.
Several beings emitting powerful auras were chatting leisurely; among them, two had dark red single horns growing on their foreheads.
“Chi Jisa, I’ve heard that quite a few of your First Rank warriors have died,” the single-horned elder said with a smile.
“Haha, Great-Uncle, only a few thousand have died,” Mintian Hou laughed, “Our people below can easily call up tens of thousands more without any trouble.”
“Even if they all died, in a few decades, there would be a new batch,” another red-clothed demigod laughed.
“Yes, just some cannon fodder,” another demigod also laughed.
Within Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, as demi-gods with lifespans of a thousand years, they would be heartbroken if some super prodigies like Mo Hu died…
But First Rank warriors? Second Rank warriors? These demigods didn’t care at all.
“It’s really a shame about Muba dying, that youngster was promising,” Mintian Hou said with sincere regret.
“To die for the Divine Race is their honor,” the single-horned elder said indifferently, “Struggling for Divine Being Inheritance, and competing with another powerful civilization – wouldn’t that involve death?”
“Even though he died, he drew a lot of fire. The others, Freya, Roman, will complete the mission,” the single-horned elder said with a smile, “Believe in them.”
“Hmm, Freya is indeed formidable. To reach Fifth Stage High Rank skills at twenty years old, impressive indeed,”
“Roman isn’t bad either,” the other demigods flattered, half-sincerely and half-ingratiatingly.
The single-horned elder had come representing the Chi Divine Race.
The Chi Divine Race, one of the nine top-tier powers within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, always had divine beings guarding within… incredibly powerful.
Suddenly,
“Hm,” Mintian Hou and the single-horned elder both felt a surge in their hearts as they received a message simultaneously.
In an instant, their faces became extremely somber.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s happened?” The other demigods immediately sensed something was very wrong.
“Freya, Roman are dead,” Mintian Hou said in a deep voice, almost grinding his teeth with each word, “Right before their deaths, they didn’t send back any information.”
“What? Freya and the others are dead?”
“Three Semi Divine Level prodigies have died!” The other demigods immediately realized the gravity.
This was catastrophic.
No matter how fiercely Ao Jia, Wu Siman, and those powerful Prime Warriors fought, or how many First Rank warriors entered the Middle Realm, it was all secondary… The truly important ones were the three Semi Divine Level prodigies.
Only they had the hope to pass the numerous tests left by the Fire System Divine and acquire the divine treasure.
But now, they had all died?
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became extremely oppressive, and the few demigods dared not speak.
After a while,
“Chi Jisa, give up,” the single-horned elder suddenly said with a light sigh, “Order Kui Jiu and the others to withdraw. Give up the struggle.”
In this brief amount of time, faced with shocking casualties, the single-horned elder made his decision.
“Give up?” Mintian Hou hadn’t even come to terms with it yet, reflexively saying, “We’ve suffered such great losses, and we’re just going to give up?”
“The cost of sunken losses isn’t a loss.”
“Don’t always care about the chips you’re bound to lose,” the single-horned elder’s gaze was icy cold, yet thoroughly calm, “The only possibilities that could kill Freya and Roman so swiftly after their breakthrough are two… Either, Li Yuan is inconceivably powerful. “
“Or, they were targeted by the forces behind the scenes in the World within Worlds.”
“Regardless of which it is, we are no longer suitable for contention in the short term,” the single-horned elder said slowly, “If you still wish to strive for it, I won’t dissuade you.”
“But the Divine Race, we give up,” the single-horned elder declared solemnly.
He too was angry and in pain Interiorly, it was hoped that one of the three Semi Divine Level prodigies would become a demigod in the future.
To lose them like this,
Yet the means displayed by the Seven Star Civilization had completely exceeded his expectations.
Having lived so long, the single-horned elder knew one thing – sometimes, cutting losses is another form of gain.
The Chi Divine Race had stood tall for tens of thousands of years, with a key reason being that they never obsessed over one thing to the bitter end.
“Chi Jisa, I must go,”
“Let Kui Jiu and the others return on their own. I will sign the contract and give up… Additionally, I will continue to investigate that matter I discussed with you last time and will get justice for you,” the single-horned elder stood up, speaking lowly, “Inside the Divine Race, we never let down any clan member. When you have time, go back to see your grandfather; his lifespan isn’t much longer.”
