Abyss Dominator System-Chapter 960 - 949: Where Is Your Backbone?

In the boundless Endless Star Sea, a fleet of Whale Demon Airships was advancing rapidly through the void, followed by other demon ships of varying sizes, all carrying demon armies from various species!

The lead Whale Demon Airship was considerably larger than others of its kind, comparable to the original form of the Pig Demon that Bai Yan had previously encountered.

Niu Dali, the Ox Demon who received orders from the one and a half meter tall Demon Emperor to attack the Human World, was the commander of this demon army, sitting in the lead Whale Demon Airship, issuing commands arrogantly.

"How long until we arrive?"

"About three days, Lord Niu."

"Three days... such a long time... I'm impatient to defeat that Bai guy and take his head already!"

Niu Dali had repeatedly asked this question impatiently. Although some demons could use spatial travel, it was not universally applicable and could not transport the millions of demon troops under Niu Dali near the star domain of the Human World.

Therefore, the demons had to march in this manner.

However, Bai Yan had Demon Island and the Red and White Twin Stars. As soon as these demons entered the surveillance range of the Red and White Twin Stars, Bai Yan received an immediate report.

...

In the palace at the center of the Human World, the majority of the upper echelons from both Demon Island and the Human World appeared in the main hall, with Bai Yan sitting at the head, looking at his subordinates impassively.

"You've all heard the news of the demon invasion. Brother Yan wants to know your thoughts?"

Fu Chao stood next to Bai Yan, also looking at the leaders from the Human World and Demon Island, with a somewhat displeased expression.

"What, no opinions?"

Everyone looked at each other, eager yet hesitant to speak first.

Seeing this, Bai Yan coolly said to everyone, "Speak your mind, don't hold back today."

This seemed to encourage the elders from the Human World, who were a diverse group - some were veterans who once fought alongside Su Yu, some had later contributed significantly to the construction of the Human World, and others were promoted after Bai Yan became the ruler of the Human World.

But nearly all the elders of the Human World shared a similar expression.

"Master, we believe the demons are coming in force, and we should avoid the confrontation for now!"

Ranked second among the Human World elders, the man glanced at his colleagues, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward.

However, his words immediately drew dissatisfaction from the people of Demon Island.

Yet Bai Yan did not respond much, instead showing a look of inquiry, "Oh? How do you propose we avoid confrontation?"

The Human World elder seemed encouraged by Bai Yan, suddenly excited, and looked at the high-seated Bai Yan with enthusiasm. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"We can completely lock down the entrances and exits to the Human World, so that no matter what the demons do, they can't find its location! Certainly, as time passes, they won't be able to hold out and will retreat naturally! Then we can win without fighting!"

"Bullshit! I say we should fight! Beat these demons so bad they run crying for their mommas! Only then will they not dare come back for a second time!"

The suggestion from the Human World elder was not agreed upon by everyone. Among the people from Demon Island, Li Xu, who was the most impatient, immediately stood out and angrily berated the Human World elder.

Demon Island never once avoided confrontation with the enemy, and the Human World elder's words felt like an act of cowardice, which he couldn't accept.

"Heh, you simpleton, all you know is fight, fight, fight. Do you understand how many people will die in a war against millions of demon troops? How much resources will it consume? How much pressure will it put on the Human World? Do you even know these things?!"

The Human World elder wasn't a pushover and pointed out several key issues, leaving Li Xu speechless.

"So should we just cower then? Our Human Race has just risen in the Endless Star Sea, and should we retreat when facing the demon race?!"

Although Li Xu backed down, Chen Yudong beside him stepped forward at this moment, looking towards Bai Yan.

"No, no, no, this isn't retreating, it's strategy! You little kid don't know anything!"

The Human World elder, feeling triumphant at silencing someone, pointed at Chen Yudong and scolded, as if only he had the clearest view of this war.

Seeing the smiling Human World elder, Qin Jiuluo, who usually spoke little, now stepped forward, kneeling before Bai Yan with one knee.

"Brother Yan, I request command of ten thousand troops to defeat that demon army and send them right back where they came from!"

Qin Jiuluo's move was like a slap in the face to the Human World elder, making him feel utterly embarrassed before he bounced up like an enraged cat, yelling at Qin Jiuluo.

"General Qin! You're toying with the lives of the Lord's soldiers! Ten thousand troops against millions of demons? Even if the soldiers are strong, they absolutely cannot win!"

"It's impossible! You're sending soldiers to their deaths! I firmly oppose General Qin's request! Please, Master, reconsider!"

The Human World elder's voice garnered support from other Human World leaders, who also stepped forward, kneeling before Bai Yan.

"We agree with Elder Li!"

"That's right, Elder Li is correct!"

"We can't send our soldiers to die! The best solution is to seal off the entry to the Human World!"

From beginning to end, Bai Yan hadn't voiced any confirmation or denial, but by now his expression clearly turned unpleasant.

"There's one question I've been pondering for a long time, I wonder if any of you know it."

Bai Yan spoke coldly, but the question seemed unrelated to the current discussion.

"Does anyone know into which order humans are classified on Earth?"

"Hmm… as far as I know, it's the Eukarya, Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Primates, Hominidae, Homo sapiens, right?"

An elder with grey hair and a refined appearance from the Human World stood up to answer Bai Yan's question.

Bai Yan, upon hearing this answer, suddenly smiled and continued to ask.

"And do you know what is the most significant characteristic of the Chordata?"

The refined elderly man stroked his beard and answered again, "It seems to be the presence of a backbone?"

Hearing this, Bai Yan finally rose from his seat and looked at everyone present.

An immensely powerful aura suddenly erupted from Bai Yan, like a massive level 200 typhoon suddenly blowing from him as the center!

"Then I want to know, as members of the Human Race! Where is your backbone?!"
