Chapter 2992

~7 min read 1,232 words

Though this fleet is massive, it doesn't have the slightest air of invaders—far from being brutal and fierce with overwhelming vigor, the entire fleet completely lacks any spirit; it's ridiculous.

What kind of invader behaves like this?

Everyone felt it was strange; indeed, the entire fleet exudes a deathly aura.

As everyone felt strange, people began walking onto the deck one after another.

Upon seeing the people, the folks inside Immortal City Beyond the Heavens became even more bewildered—what's going on with these people?

Those who boarded the deck indeed look exactly like humans, with no difference.

But appearance isn't the issue—why are there so many women holding children?

Who brings their whole family to war?

Soon the deck was packed with people, and women and children made up more than half of the crowd.

Are you sure you're here to invade, not just to visit relatives?

While the people of Immortal City Beyond the Heavens sized them up, these people likewise sized up the city's inhabitants.

A lady, while soothing the crying child in her arms, said to the woman beside her who also held a child.

Is this the Primordial Divine Realm that the old ancestors found?

Probably; I heard they are also humans, but haven't reached the Primordial stage yet, and this world hasn't officially become the Primordial Divine Realm, though it should be soon.

Upon hearing this, the woman said with some worry.

Can we agree? It seems the other side is clearly prepared.

We did send two people earlier, but after that there was no news; everyone said they might be dead, and now we don't know what's happening.

We haven't even started fighting yet; this side of Immortal City Beyond the Heavens isn't particularly tense, but rather these Primordial Humans are getting nervous.

Also, the folks of Immortal City Beyond the Heavens don't know about this conversation; otherwise they'd all be confused.

No, you yourselves think you can't win, so why come? After traveling so far, are you here to die?

Both sides don't know much about each other's situation.

Moreover, these Primordial Humans have come here out of necessity; their Primordial Divine Realm was breached by those hateful demons, clansmen died in battle, and even if they weren't killed on the spot, after being captured they were imprisoned and turned into food.

Only a small portion escaped, and they are one such group.

Throughout their flight, they first felt immense grief, then hatred and rage welled up, but eventually it all turned into deep despair.

Having lost their homeland, with family dead or injured, for a time nobody knew what to do.

People without a home are like rootless duckweed, drifting with the waves.

Fortunately, in the end, the Heavenly Machine Old Ancestor, knowing his severe wounds were untreatable, sacrificed his life to fathom the heavenly mechanism, and thus found this place.

Before his death, he once said that this place is everyone's last hope.

These dying words actually gave everyone a glimmer of hope, at least no longer utter despair.

So, with a goal in mind, everyone headed straight for Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

They just wanted to settle down here; setting aside revenge, their human bloodline must not be cut off.

On the flagship in the middle, two old ancestors stood at the front, gazing toward Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; one of them furrowed his brows and said.

Considering previous events, the humans here probably won't be friendly to us.

That's inevitable; otherwise Wu Lin and them wouldn't have vanished without a sound.

Wu Lin is precisely that man and woman who previously came to Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

Originally, the two old ancestors sent them to first make contact with the people here and report the situation.

But Wu Lin felt it hard to speak of; as a Primordial Human Race, being wiped out by a bunch of demons, losing home and family, now they have to seek protection from some post-heaven compatriots.

Especially after arriving at Immortal City Beyond the Heavens and feeling that there's really no one of note in the city, it's even more so.

With such strength, what right do they have to talk about taking them in?

The idea changed instantly; they aren't a match for those demons, could it be that they aren't even a match for these post-heaven humans?

They immediately decided to take exclusive control of this place; as for the post-heaven humans here, if they behave, we could give them a place to settle, but this realm will surely be led by them in the future.

Precisely because the idea changed, their attitude became so overbearing.

Of course, the two old ancestors don't know about this, after all it's Wu Lin acting on her own, completely contrary to their instructions.

At this moment, looking at Immortal City Beyond the Heavens on high alert, and several faint yet powerful auras within the city.

These auras, even if not as strong as the two of them, are not far off; moreover, the two of them are currently wounded.

It has long been determined that there exists a Primordial Race old ancestor–level being in this city.

Still wondering, isn't this supposed to be a group of post-heaven humans? Where did such an existence come from? Truly strange and marvelous.

But now that we've come this far, it's like an arrow on the bow that must be released; everyone can only grit their teeth and move forward.

The two old ancestors exchanged a glance, and one of them spoke.

I'll go make contact first; don't be too rash.

That's fine, but be careful; if they try to detain you forcibly, you'll have a hard time getting away.

I understand.

There's danger, but there's no choice; we can't possibly retreat again, and besides, where could they retreat to now?

The fleet slowly came to a stop outside Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, and the people in the city were completely bewildered.

Right from the start the atmosphere is off—not to mention the deathly stillness—now they've just stopped the ship; what does that mean?

You guys, at this time, shouldn't you just attack outright? Or are you trying to threaten?

Thinking about threats, everyone's faces showed a strange expression.

No, with the atmosphere you're showing, it's really impossible to feel threatened.

Look, everyone's bringing their families; you want us to voluntarily give up the Immortal Realm—isn't that a bit too much?

Ye Zhangqing also couldn't help but whisper softly.

"Could it be that the information is wrong?"

No matter how you look at them, these people don't seem like invaders, and their actions have nothing to do with invaders.

It is completely different from what everyone had guessed before.

However, just as everyone was doubtful, a black shadow quickly approached from behind the fleet.

That black shadow exuded a terrifying blood aura, along with a familiar demonic aura.

Seeing this, everyone frowned, and Yue Linxian even shouted.

"Prepare for battle."

Now this makes sense—look at that aura, so terrifying and ferocious; this is what invaders should be like.

Could it be that these people in front of us have made a mistake?

However, that terrifying black shadow quickly approached, leaving everyone no time to think as they hastily readied themselves.

The situation is somewhat strange, but the aura of that black shadow is truly outrageously strong.
