Chapter 170: Rift

Regarding matters of the Human Race's overall situation, Sangyu always discusses them.

You are quite curious, 'What is it?'

Sangyu solemnly said: 'Before, the Moon Clan has been hunting me; they likely sensed the state of my Perfect Body and want to test something on me.'

'If the Moon Clan only wanted to kill me, they have plenty of means, but they repeatedly fail because they rashly try to capture me alive.'

'Perhaps this time, their purpose in launching war is the same.'

Sangyu's words plunged you into thought.

You suddenly thought of Yun Baobao.

Since Yun Baobao left, you have not heard any news of her; you tried to go find the Mysterious Blessed Land, but found nothing.

The vast Blessed Land seemed to have vanished into thin air.

But you know that the Divine Lord of the Nine Ancient God Clans will surely not give up searching for Yun Baobao; perhaps that is why they have not yet acted against the Human Race.

Sangyu said: 'In the eyes of the Nine Ancient God Clans, destroying the Human Race is likely not as valuable as capturing us two.'

'According to the Human Ancestor's saying, the existence of the Nine Ancient God Clans has never been to annihilate all spirits in the world, but to seek another path to become an Ancient God!'

'This is what makes them willing to pay any price.'

What Sangyu said is exactly what you thought.

If the Nine Ancient God Clans' existence were merely to rule the world, absolutely no race could resist.

The reason living beings outside the Nine Ancient God Clans can survive is because the Nine Ancient God Clans have always acted in accordance with the will of the Ancient Gods.

Because the Nine Ancient God Clans have always been weighing pros and cons.

Launching war is no different.

The Ancient Gods themselves are the supreme beings in the world; in their eyes, there is nothing they cannot do, only whether it is worth doing.

The struggles between the Human Race, the Nine Ancient God Clans, and all the races of the world ultimately are a game between the Ancient Gods.

You spoke solemnly: 'If the Ancient God Clan's purpose is to capture us alive, how could they achieve that?'

'There is only one way.'

Sangyu replied: 'They can only wear us down gradually, relying on the entire Human Race to restrain us, and using the Hidden Order Clan's ability to break rules, causing us to gradually lose our combat strength.'

'The Divine Lord of the Ancient God Clan is waiting for an opportunity.'

'An opportunity that could capture us!'

You and Sangyu constantly reasoned; judging by the current developments, your inference is highly likely to be correct.

You gazed toward the Heavenly Dome.

The giant eye reflected in the sky is slowly recovering.

Being stared at by that eye makes you feel uneasy all over.

You laughed: 'Even a bloody battle is nothing to fear; wanting to capture us two, they lack the ability!'

'Since that's the case, we will make good use of this and play with them.'

'The Ancient God Clan will also be afraid if they shed too much blood!'

After confirming the purpose of the Nine Ancient God Clans, your pressure actually lessened.

As long as we can guarantee the stability of the Mountains and Rivers State Grand Array, you and Sangyu cannot be manipulated by the Nine Ancient God Clans.

Even if the Divine Lord arrives, you, with the aid of the Forbidden Domain and the Grand Array, still have the strength to fight.

Moreover, in this situation the Divine Lord cannot act rashly.

'The invaders' bloodshed will indeed make them fearful, but we must also act cautiously, after all our understanding of the Nine Ancient God Clans is insufficient.'

Sangyu frowned tightly.

Your knowledge of the Nine Ancient God Clans is limited to what the Human Ancestor taught, but the foundation of the Ancient God Clan is far deeper than what appears on the surface.

Whether it is the Hidden Order Clan's Hidden Order Eye and Hidden Order Heart, or the Moon Clan's Moon God Well, the Elf Race's Holy Light Ancient Tree, or the Blood Race's Infinite Blood River, and so on.

The core secrets of each Ancient God Clan, exactly what means they conceal, are unknown to outsiders.

Throughout endless ages, the Nine Ancient God Clans have fought each other many times, yet no Ancient God Clan has ever revealed all its trump cards.

In their respective fields of expertise, each Ancient God Clan can be called invincible.

The Human Race's Mountains and Rivers State Grand Array is strong, but compared to the foundation of the Nine Ancient God Clans, it still falls far short.

You and Sangyu's sole worry is that the Nine Ancient God Clans will employ means completely beyond what the Human Race anticipates.

Boom—rumble—rumble!

Just as this thought arose in your mind, the earth suddenly shook violently, and a crack actually appeared on the wall of the Mountains and Rivers State Grand Array.

'Trash! Traitor!'

Following that, the roar of Xi echoed between heaven and earth.

Your expression suddenly changed.

Before the war began, you had repeatedly urged Xi to be careful, to ensure the Grand Array's normal operation, and had anticipated the Illusion Clan's infiltration, yet a leak still occurred.

'I'll go block the array!'

Now is not the time to assign blame; Sangyu, as the array's eye, rushed toward that gap, simultaneously gathering qi to repair the Grand Array.

You, meanwhile, came to Xi's side.

At this moment, Xi had already slain the traitor; this traitor was one of Xi's first followers, whom you have also seen.

Who would have thought that even such an elder of the Human Race would betray.

This made your sense of crisis grow ever stronger; the methods of the Nine Ancient God Clans are truly indefensible.

Perhaps this is only the beginning.

Once the Grand Array is broken, you and Sangyu will be completely in a passive position, and the Human Race will suffer countless casualties.

After all, the most numerous among the Human Race are not cultivators, but feeble Mortals.

Endless mortals are the foundation of the Human Race!

They are the everlasting spark.

"Xi, I will preside over the Grand Array."

"You have taken over Xi's position, and in a deep voice you said: 'From now on I will completely pour the Human Race's fortune into the Mountains and Rivers State Grand Array.'"

"Under these circumstances, anyone harboring ulterior motives and anyone not of our kind will reveal their true form; you will be responsible for disposing of them."

"I can't hold out for long; Sangyu's side will also be in danger, we must hurry!"

You dare not gamble on what the outcome will be after the Grand Array is broken.

Although the main purpose of the Nine Ancient God Clans is you and Sangyu, even a slight involvement will cause the Human Race to suffer heavy losses.

This is a result you absolutely do not wish to see.

"Good."

Xi established transmission arrays between all the major arrays, ensuring the tribes remain connected and can receive rapid reinforcements.

This also allows him to promptly address any leaks in the Grand Array and respond to emergencies.

After Xi departed, another figure descended before you, exuding a fragrant scent.

The visitor was precisely the Fox Clan Empress.

"Chuan Clan Leader, do you want to help?"

The Empress's fox tail was stained with blood, less alluring than before, more filled with a killing intent.

After a brief hesitation, you looked toward the direction where Sangyu was and said through gritted teeth:

"Can you go help her for me?"
