MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1434 - 29: Taking Responsibility

Great Daoist Venerable’s words were obviously intended to provoke internal conflict, causing dissatisfaction among the other three factions towards Star Sea. Lu Hong understood right away, and the others were aware of it too. But whether they would be swayed by Great Daoist Venerable’s words was uncertain.

However, Great Daoist Venerable’s words were not baseless and did have some logic.

On the contrary, this was an excellent persuasion.

Especially on the side of the Kai Family Master. If Star Sea participates in the war, then Fu Sang must send strong warriors to suppress enemies. Thus, Fu Sang’s control over top-tier Undead would inevitably weaken, and perhaps Titans would not suffer such severe losses.

Moreover, the words of Great Daoist Venerable didn’t provoke discontent from anyone, considering Dao Yi True Realm had genuinely lost nearly a million troops. With so many lives sacrificed, how could the realm not vent some complaints?

"Haha, Lord Lu is indeed eloquent. You claim that we ostracize Star Sea; if that were true, would you be sitting here discussing with us today?" Great Daoist Venerable mocked: "Star Sea still holds power. The past can remain unmentioned by me, but moving forward, Star Sea should be the main force attacking the Hanqiu Mountain Realm. Does anyone disagree with my proposal?"

With that, Great Daoist Venerable looked at the Kai Family Master and Archimonde.

Now that the Hell Demon Clan has withdrawn from the Hanqiu Mountain Realm battlefield, their influence isn’t significant, so Archimonde did not express himself first, and even during exchanges, he chose not to interrupt.

As for the Kai Family Master, naturally, he entirely agreed, nodding: "That’s just as it should be. In this battle, both the Titan Clan and Dao Yi True Realm suffered colossal losses and need a long time to recover. Elite forces were wiped out in one go, requiring lengthy retraining. Therefore, if another Undead Heavenly Calamity strikes, Star Sea, which still possesses strength, should be the main force. Emperor Qin, do you agree?"

The Dark Continent’s Titans don’t follow the sole leadership of the Kai Family. Especially now, the Kai Family has lost all elites, and even their top warrior, Kaisi, remains unconscious. After this battle, the Kai Family’s influence within the Dark Continent Titan Clan has massively diminished. Although Da Qin also lost the elite Qin Long Guards, they still have the Upper Martial Guard, a massive populace, and allies in the Twelve Domains. In contrast, compared to the Dark Continent’s vast population of second-generation Titans, the Kai Family’s voice is much quieter. Therefore, the Kai Family can no longer dominate decision-making and turned to Qin Hong.

Even though the Kai Family Master knows Qin Hong’s teacher is Lu Hong, Qin Hong remains Da Qin’s current emperor, one of the Titan Clan’s leaders, carrying responsibilities that he cannot solely adhere to his teacher’s will.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hong paused in silence, hesitating to speak first.

Lu Hong also didn’t insist on Qin Hong taking his side and instead spoke first: "Star Sea accepts your proposal, but I need you to agree to one condition."

Seeing how readily Lu Hong agreed, Great Daoist Venerable and the Kai Family Master were puzzled.

Great Daoist Venerable raised his eyebrows and asked: "What condition?"

"Starting today, the Titan Clan and Dao Yi True Realm must completely withdraw from Hanqiu Mountain Realm. Your bases are too scattered, and my Star Sea cannot spare enough troops to protect your bases. I hope you understand. Of course, if you refuse to leave Hanqiu Mountain Realm, you could migrate your bases to the rear of my Star Sea, where it will be easier for us to fulfill our duties."

Lu Hong’s condition held no extra ulterior motive, and everyone could tell.

Qin Hong spoke first: "Fine, Da Qin will immediately pull out of Hanqiu Mountain Realm."

Seeing Qin Hong set the tone, the Kai Family Master didn’t ponder much: "The Kai Family agrees as well."

Great Daoist Venerable then squinted at Lu Hong and after a long while finally said: "Dao Yi True Realm agrees too."

This withdrawal was something Great Daoist Venerable didn’t want to see, but he had no choice. With Titan making a decision, if he stays alone, he likely won’t stand against Star Sea and rather temporarily retreat.

Seeing everyone agree, Lu Hong nodded with satisfaction: "Then I hope you all will leave soon. The upcoming war in Hanqiu Mountain Realm will be handled solely by Star Sea, but this can’t go on indefinitely. Ten years, Star Sea can buy you ten years. I hope you understand."

Upon hearing Lu Hong state the timeframe, even Great Daoist Venerable was slightly taken aback. They initially thought Star Sea would only promise endurance for a few months or half a year but unexpectedly heard Lu Hong say ten years.

This damn battle with Hanqiu Mountain Realm could last over ten years?

They didn’t know, but the mention of ten years felt somewhat absurd. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Master!" Qin Hong opened his mouth, somewhat anxious, thinking Lu Hong was crazy. Maybe the battle would end in a few years, so why choose to promise ten years for Star Sea? Was he digging a pit for himself?

But to this, Lu Hong waved his hand: "I say ten years, and it shall be ten years. This is the utmost sincerity from Star Sea."

"Good!" Great Daoist Venerable couldn’t help clapping: "Lord Lu represents righteousness. I agree to the ten-year covenant. After ten years, Dao Yi True Realm will definitely join forces with Star Sea to again face Fu Sang!"

After speaking, Great Daoist Venerable stood up first, leaving.

The Kai Family Master also glanced deeply at Lu Hong, saying nothing, and departed.

Archimonde waited until the two left, then approached Lu Hong and whispered: "Are you sick? Ten years? Joking, right?"

Lu Hong shook his head: "I have my reasons for saying ten years, but currently I can’t tell you. Archimonde, if your side needs Dead soul to enhance Demon power, then gather soul containers from Dao Yi True Realm, and I can provide you with Dead souls, albeit needing you to collect them yourself."

Understanding this, Archimonde nodded: "Thank you very much."

After Archimonde left, Qin Hong approached: "Master, have you sensed something?"

Then only did Lu Hong reveal a smile: "Naturally, otherwise, how could I dare settle on this ten-year agreement."

"Then what exactly happened?" Qin Hong frowned, not thinking of anything.

"Well... it’s quite simple. This time Fu Sang is genuinely injured, and will not recover within several years. After several years, the main force dealing with Fu Sang will not be us, but a different group. With them, Star Sea won’t suffer much loss."

Hearing Lu Hong’s words, Qin Hong couldn’t help but say: "Titan God King?"

Lu Hong nodded: "Sort of."

"Good!" Without further inquiry, Qin Hong then turned and left. Since they’d be withdrawing from Cold Mountain Realm, he had many matters requiring arrangement for his subordinates.

Three days later, Lu Hong returned to the Star Sea base, first briefing Elder Nuo and others about the meeting’s discussions. Seeing their puzzled expressions, he turned and disappeared.

Enraged, Elder Nuo almost cursed from behind, but unfortunately, Lu Hong moved too swiftly, incapable of catching him.

"Alright, calm down, Elder Nuo. Our Star Lord is not foolish. Since he dared promise a ten-year covenant, he surely has reasons," Eferot spoke up to comfort, also helping calm Elder Nuo’s mood with soothing massages.

"Even if the gods came, we wouldn’t withstand ten years! Elder Nuo was speechless: "Isn’t this mocking our Star Sea people’s lives?"

After another bout of ranting from Elder Nuo, he calmed down. Things had reached this point; complaining wouldn’t solve the problem. It would be better to consider future deployments. Furthermore, Elder Nuo felt a bit of anticipation, curious about Lu Hong’s confidence.

After leaving, Lu Hong navigated through layers of mist, entering a crystalline snowy world.

At the center of this Ice Seal land lay none other than Kofatis.

Feeling Lu Hong’s intrusion, Kofatis opened his eyes slightly and spoke: "You’ve arrived!"

Seeing the somewhat fatigued Kofatis, Lu Hong cautiously asked: "Are you now...?"

"Rest assured, I am very lucid now."
