Chapter 1870: Global Conference 2

Heavenly Kingdom Instance.

In the endless light, the eternal hymn had long ceased.

Upon the God Throne, the First Generation Fugitive God Lord now silently gazed at the gods beneath his feet, at the virtual phantoms they projected.

After a long silence, he seemed to have aged ten years, even the rule-light composing his very form trembled.

"Actually... it really is them..."

"Didn't they abandon this place long ago...!?"

The house leaks rain all night.

The First Generation sat dazedly on the God Throne, feeling that this sentence fit their situation perfectly.

Twenty-four hours ago, he had already confirmed that the dispatched divine squad had vanished. The people of Long An were not only not dead, but Lin An also seemed to have appeared.

No one knew what had happened in the Japan Sea during those short two hours. He knew their nightmare, as if it had truly returned.

Moreover...

Even stronger!

"God Lord, Andre's side has already contacted us six times."

"He means that if we don't respond again and also refuse to appear at the meeting site, then our previous agreement is completely void!"

"Not only that, he also threatens us, claiming that if we provide no value, he will forcibly open the instance we are in!"

"Behind him, it really seems...!"

Both startled and angry.

Before the Wolf-Head Fourth Rank beneath the God Throne could finish speaking, the First Generation Fugitive let out a low laugh, as if self-mocking, and directly interrupted him.

"It's not just 'seems like,' nor is it a threat."

"I originally thought he just found what that civilization left behind in that place, but I never expected he actually made contact with them!"

"No wonder, no wonder that despite being human, his strength is unfathomable to me, yet he still wishes to cooperate with us!"

"Damn human worm! He's just buying time!"

"Bang!"

Under rare, immense pressure, the First Generation Light Body roared in violent anger for the first time.

The surging, burning anger and fear made it even hard for him to maintain his own reason!

Humanity! This filthy, lowly bunch of bugs! The dogs they've raised for centuries! They actually started biting back at these former masters of theirs!

He shouldn't have secretly controlled them! At the moment they fled to Earth, they ought to have slaughtered all humanity!

The light suddenly flickered rapidly.

After venting, the First Generation suppressed the anger in his heart, then staggered down from the God Throne.

He also understood that anger was useless now. The problem is, how will they survive?

If Lin An truly returns, he must be at the Fifth Stage! Unlike Andre, who still doesn't know why Lin An disappeared, he knows exactly what difficulty Lin An returned from.

"Can this be used?"

"If Lin An returns, he will surely slaughter us all! The only thing I can possibly threaten him with is that batch of brainwashed humans."

"No... far from enough! Given that monster's cruelty, it simply wouldn't be intimidated!"

"But Andre might care? After all, the Fourth Stage beings that North America has absorbed from our power are the most numerous! If he were to clash with Lin An... even if he lacks Lin An's strength, the higher beings behind him would be enough to crush Lin An!"

He racked his brains.

The First Generation never imagined that one day he would need to exploit the conflict between two humans to guarantee his own survival.

"Information gap! The only thing I can now leverage is the information gap!"

"Andre has made contact with those higher beings; he surely also wants to integrate humanity and, on that condition, become their servant."

"Similarly, he also needs us to 'train' the Awakened Ones for him, since human civilization has experienced the Apocalypse for too short a time! To him, I still have utilitarian value!"

"In that case..."

The light flickered, and soon the First Generation decisively settled on his plan without hesitation.

"Convey my orders! Tell Andre we will appear at the Conference! But he must guarantee our safety! Tell him that if something happens to us, the number of existing human Fourth Stages will be reduced by more than half! We would rather pollute these instances than leave them for him to strengthen humanity! Humph, he should understand my meaning! He wants to demonstrate his worth among those higher beings, so he must keep us alive!"

"Furthermore, awaken the original elders! This is already the final moment, even more dangerous than last time!"

"God Lord!?"

Hearing the First Generation's arranged command, the Fugitives of the Fourth Rank present all changed expression, deeply puzzled.

"Do we still need to go out!? Which side Andre represents is obviously hostile toward us as well!"

"If Lin An appears, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides!? They're both human! Even if Andre still wishes to cooperate, he might not be able to withstand Lin An!"

Unable to comprehend the First Generation's intention.

In the eyes of many Fugitives, they only want to hide and never come out again!

Although Andre's strength is unknown, perhaps even comparable to the original Lin An. Without a doubt, Andre is certainly not Fifth Stage! But Lin An likely is!

Continuing to cooperate with Andre and even running out to reveal themselves, in their eyes is almost like courting death! Perhaps Lin An is waiting with a cold smile for them to exit the instance!

Faced with the panic of many Fugitives, the First Generation showed no wavering, merely issuing a cold rebuke;

"That human Andre might not be able to oppose Lin An! But the beings behind him can! Those fellows are a true Fifth-Stage civilization! They are the 'gods' who arrived here earlier than us!"

"Damn it, when I and the first batch of survivors arrived here, this place had clearly been abandoned by them!"

He showed resentment.

If this place hadn't been abandoned, how would they have originally chosen Earth?

"Furthermore."

"Since it's already the final moment! All useful means must be employed!"

"Notify the Bone Demon of the 02 Energy Instance, to have him bring those few humans out!"

"By then, perhaps we can give that monster Lin An a huge 'surprise'!"
