MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 599 - 87 Solutions
Chapter 599: Chapter 87 Solutions
Di Ti had initially been dutifully carrying out the relocation agreement with Lu Hong, but such matters proved exceptionally troublesome. Even as a supreme demon beast, her strength was diminished under the suppression of the plane. As a result, some brash demigod demon beasts, believing they had awakened ancient bloodlines and commanding thousands of troops, began to boldly confront Di Ti head-on.
Di Ti managed to restrain her temper and spare their lives on one or two occasions, but as such challenges persisted, her patience wore thin. During one negotiation with a demigod demon beast, she flipped the table and, with her power alone, annihilated a million demon beasts within the plane.
After all, the Endless Forest was not lacking in demon beasts, and Di Ti’s command included some under her own banner. What difference would a few more or a few fewer make?
Realizing this, Di Ti completely unleashed herself and poured Divine Power into the disaster-stricken planes provided by the empire. Upon learning this news, Konstantin had planned to harness Di Ti’s power and draw it towards the Hades forces, but Di Ti was no fool. She completely avoided getting involved in the turmoil of the Star Sea, taking a detour and sending a clear message: Exterminating demon beasts was part of my agreement with Duke Godwei. All other matters are off the table.
After listening to Duke Nuoshan’s account, Lu Hong couldn’t help but smile wryly—it seemed the likelihood of Di Ti offering assistance was next to zero.
"So, for now, it’s best you stay in the Northern Territory. The matters in Dongsheng will be resolved by Konstantin. There’s no need for you to worry about them," said Nuoshan, who was especially protective of Lu Hong. He continued, "Listen, I’m well aware of your potential. As long as you don’t perish, there will definitely be a place for you at the apex of the Star Sea in the future. Therefore, whether the Human Race truly faces extinction or not, you must survive. As long as you are alive and become strong enough, the Human Race will have the chance to rise again!"
Nuoshan’s words carried significant weight. At present, the Holy Divine Empire and the Eagle Alliance, the two major Human Race powers, were both embroiled in a tough battle. The objective of the Netherworld was crystal clear: their primary aim was to annihilate the human species.
From the messages received about the Netherworld, Nuoshan was not optimistic about the human situation, mainly because the Human Race lacked a deity, a Heavenly God walking within the Star Sea!
The Seven Towers might be capable of battling demigods, but it was nowhere near enough.
Therefore, in Nuoshan’s view, the downfall of the Human Race was just a matter of time. However, the rebirth after destruction was entirely in Lu Hong’s hands. As long as he did not die, he was the most likely candidate to become a Heavenly God amongst the entire Human Race. Once he ascended, he would have the power to suppress all under heaven and restore the glory of the Human Race.
Nuoshan’s arrival in the Northern Territory was said to be for the purpose of assisting and advising Lu Hong, but it also carried a sense of watching over and protecting him.
Lu Hong fell silent upon hearing Nuoshan’s words and after a long pause, finally asked, "Do you have such little confidence in the empire?"
Nuoshan shook his head, "Not just the empire; I’m equally pessimistic about the Alliance."
"The only place that could potentially turn the tide of this battle is the Dao Yi region of the Canglanlan," Nuoshan did not conceal anything from Lu Hong, "But not only the temple. Sotu must also exert effort. Only through their cooperation might there be a possibility to change the battle situation."
"Of course," Nuoshan continued, "What I can think of, the Netherworld can also anticipate. Perhaps the Canglan Dao Yi region has already been attacked by the Netherworld and is in imminent danger!"
Indeed, Nuoshan’s guess was not wrong. The Netherworld was teeming with powerful beings. The Human Race had invested many strong individuals in their military, but in comparison to the Netherworld, they were a mere drop in the ocean. So where had all the Netherworld strong ones gone?
Some had been dispatched to the star regions, while the rest were attacking the Canglan Dao Yi!
Since the crisis in Dongsheng began, the war had started in Canglan Dao Yi. The thirteen temples relied on divine items to barely fend off the Netherworld’s attacks, and they were already too preoccupied to attend to other matters. Meanwhile, Sotu had been besieged by several Netherworld demigods, severely wounded, and forced into Escape, hiding in the Xiaqing plane to heal.
While the Netherworld kept news of the Canglan Dao Yi battles under wraps, Dongsheng appeared to be in crisis, but the Netherworld always preserved extra strength, dragging out the war. Their likely aim was to draw the empire’s attention in order to consume the thirteen temples in one fell swoop.
Nuoshan had already surmised this, and Konstantin also had an inkling, but they were both powerless. Who could resolve the encirclement of the Canglan Dao Yi by the Netherworld forces? Even if the seven Tower Masters went, it would probably be of no avail.
As Lu Hong stared blankly at Nuoshan, a soldier outside the door reported, "Duke sir, a person claiming to be from the Bai family wishes to see you!"
"Hm?" Lu Hong was startled, then quickly said, "Bring them in at once!"
The visitor was not Bai Feng but another member of the Bai family.
This person first presented a sign that had been agreed upon with Lu Hong, confirming his identity before speaking, "I am Bai Shaoze from the Bai family, ordered by Sir Bai Feng to offer you assistance, hoping to help the empire overcome this crisis."
"Bai, you’ve come at just the right time!"
Seeing that the other party had brought a solution, Lu Hong immediately felt a surge of spirit, while Nuoshan felt a hint of unease.
"The final goal of the Netherworld is not the Eastern Victory, but the Clarian Dao!" Bai Feng laid out the intelligence he knew, which matched Nuoshan’s guess perfectly, down to the last detail.
"So what do we do?" Lu Hong was truly panicked this time. He had been involved in the Eastern Victory battle, but what was he in the top-tier war of Clarian Dao?
"There’s still a glimmer of hope," Bai Shaoze said in a somber tone, "Seek help from the Netherworld!"
"Seek help from the Netherworld?!" Hearing this, Lu Hong was completely unsettled. It was the Netherworld that was attacking the Star Sea, so how could they possibly ask the Netherworld for help?
"As you know, not everyone in the Netherworld agrees with this war," Bai Shaoze explained. "There are two colossal entities within the Netherworld that have not sent a single soldier against the Star Sea. Instead, they’ve been secretly helping humans solve many difficulties, and the Bai family is one of them. As long as we can persuade these two powers to make up their minds to join the battle, we can resolve the crisis of the Star Sea, and even lead an army to counterattack the Netherworld and completely settle the two sovereigns who have tainted the Star Sea!"
Bai Shaoze’s words excited Lu Hong, while Nuoshan responded with a cold laugh, "Easier said than done. I presume the master you revere is not easy to persuade?"
Bai Shaoze glanced at an elderly man sitting aside, then respectfully said, "The old gentleman is right. My master is not easily swayed; at least as his subject, I cannot go against my master’s will. Therefore, an outsider’s words are needed to move my master."
"The Netherworld is far away, doesn’t it sound a bit too late?" Nuoshan Duke’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if probing.
Bai Shaoze shook his head: "The Netherworld forces attacking Clarian Dao are currently in a stalemate. They intend to use Eastern Victory as a focal point to attract the attention of the Star Sea. As long as the battle of Clarian Dao is not over, no surprises will occur in the quagmire of Eastern Victory. Even if the imperial troops are defeated, the Netherworld forces will help them recover."
"So how much time do I have?" Lu Hong asked.
"Two months at most," Bai Shaoze calculated for Lu Hong: "We can depart now. In just ten days, I can bring you to the entrance of the Netherworld. After entering the Netherworld, it will take another seven days to reach Hades Township. There’s enough time, but as for when we can persuade the two sovereigns, I’m not sure. It may take a moment, or it may never happen. The Bai family cannot assist in this matter."
Lu Hong nodded, "Alright, then we can set off."
Without hesitation, knowing there was a way to resolve the human race’s crisis, Lu Hong was certainly going to try, no matter how slim the hope.
"Wait a moment!" Nuoshan grabbed Lu Hong’s arm, "You can’t go. What use would there be if you went? If the two sovereigns of the Netherworld were willing to send troops, they would have done so already. Can they be moved by a mere word from you? These Netherworld sovereigns have existed since the Era of the Gods. Their schemes are beyond your comprehension. If we are to go, it should be Konstantin who looks for someone with a silver tongue to persuade them. It’s not your place to meddle."
Before Lu Hong could speak, Bai Shaoze countered first, "Old gentleman, only the Duke himself can go. The entrance to the Netherworld is forbidden to the living, and ordinary people can’t get past the Gatekeeper."
"Why can he then?"
"Because of the title!" Bai Shaoze explained, "The Netherworld allows only two kinds of living humans to accompany us. The first is families like us who bear the brand of the Netherworld, and the second is those who have entered the Netherworld through a heritage left by the Heavenly God. Only with the Duke’s identity as a Blood Lord can one enter without threat from the Gatekeeper."
"The Gatekeeper..." Nuoshan had indeed read about it in books on the Netherworld and believed a third of what Bai Shaoze said, but still had reservations and did not let go of Lu Hong’s arm.
"Let me go."
Seeing Nuoshan unwilling to relent, Lu Hong spoke up, "Do you think I would give up this opportunity for nothing?"
Nuoshan was well aware of Lu Hong’s sense of responsibility. Finally, he let go of Lu Hong’s arm and said gravely, "Be cautious on your journey to the Netherworld. Remember, your wife is still waiting for you to come back!"
"I know."
