Chapter 178: A Single Pillar Cannot Support the Sky, the Saint of Feathers Requests Aid

Inside the room.

Lu Li looked at this only remaining Saint of the Human Race.

The two had met before in the Holy Tower.

Meeting again this time!

Not much time had passed!

But the face of the Saint of Feathers appeared even more weathered.

Clearly, the confrontation with the Demon Jiao Saint during this period had left him somewhat exhausted in both body and mind.

"Wang Yuanqian's situation is not good!"

After saying this, the Saint of Feathers fell silent.

Lu Li also did not speak.

Qian Wang's injuries!

The moment he forcibly broke through his realm, the outcome had already been destined. If not for the fact that the Saint of Feathers had arrived in time and employed Saint methods, the moment his origin collapsed, it could have completely detonated the injuries the Demon Jiao Saint had left on him.

Letting him die in agony!

Being able to preserve his life now was already quite good!

However, Lu Li already knew all of this!

The Saint of Feathers had come over; surely it wasn't just to say these things?

"Although the Human Race won a great victory in this battle and the Demon Jiao Saint was heavily wounded and retreated, unable to stir up trouble for a short time, the Demon Jiao Saint is not the only Saint-realm Fierce Beast." The Saint of Feathers looked over.

"What does the Saint of Feathers mean?"

Lu Li's expression changed slightly.

In the morning, the Saint of Feathers had pursued for a million miles, forcing the Demon Jiao Saint to trigger its dragon blood origin to barely escape with its life, and afterward, news came from all the other cities that the Fierce Beast armies were withdrawing one after another.

The Human armies of each city were pursuing them!

Once the Fierce Beasts retreated to the depths of the Wujin Huangye, this Fierce Beast war would end!

Under such circumstances!

He had originally thought the Human Race would at least be quiet for a long time.

Even if the Demon Jiao Saint attacked again, it would be a long time later, so there was no need to worry for the time being.

But listening to the intent of the Saint of Feathers.

Could it be...

"Once the Demon Jiao Saint moved, other Saint-realm Fierce Beasts were also eyeing us covetously. Back when I was stationed in Xun City, I already sensed their undisguised probing. The reason they did not move was simply to first use the Demon Jiao Saint's hand to test us."

"Now that the Demon Jiao Saint has been defeated and the strength of the Human Race has been exposed, perhaps it won't be long before they move."

The Saint of Feathers sighed lightly.

His weary voice continued to reach him.

"Originally, I wanted to hold on for a while longer, waiting for Wang Yuanqian to break through to the Saint realm, and then, with our combined strength, perhaps we could bring a glimmer of hope to the Human Race, just as it was a hundred years ago. But now, I fear..."

The Saint of Feathers did not continue.

Lu Li's expression, however, had already become incomparably grave.

There was more than one Saint-realm Fierce Beast!

He had already known this.

But that the Demon Jiao Saint was merely the vanguard army for the Fierce Beasts' probing!

This far exceeded his expectations.

And only until now did he understand how difficult the battle a hundred years ago had been, and why Hong Sheng had burned his battle intent, sacrificing himself to bring a glimmer of hope to the Human Race.

A hundred-year cycle!

According to the Saint of Feathers, I fear the darkest moment for the Human Race is about to arrive again!

"Now, you should know why I have come, right?"

The Saint of Feathers stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze solemn.

"In the hundred years of the Human Race, if Wang Yuanqian's rise was still within my expectations, your rise has far exceeded my imagination. To break through from Martial Spirit to peak Martial Monarch in just a few months—I have never seen your like before, and perhaps there will never be another after you.

After some time, I will go deep into the Wujin Huangye to delay the Fierce Beast army as much as possible. I need you to take Wang Yuanqian's place, stabilize your foundation as quickly as possible, and then grow up to become another pillar of the Human Race after me."

"I..."

"Do not refuse."

The Saint of Feathers shook his head lightly.

"You have no way to refuse. The fate of every one of us has been tightly linked to the entire Human Race. Once the Human Race is destroyed, we will have no chance of survival.

So from now on, I will provide you with all the resources you need, and you can speak up if you have any requests."

Lu Li could not help but fall silent.

He had not expected that just as this battle ended, he would receive such terrifying news.

Facing the Demon Jiao Saint's army!

The Human Race had only barely won, and for this, they had nearly destroyed a Dui City!

Once the other Saint-realm Fierce Beast armies arrived, I fear the Human Race would truly be unable to resist, and just as the Saint of Feathers said, the fate of individuals in the Human Race is now tightly linked to the whole.

If the Human Race is destroyed!

No individual will be spared!

He could be no exception!

"I hope there is still time!"

Lu Li sighed in his heart.

In his eyes, a look of determination appeared: "Saint of Feathers, I want to enter the Glory Land of the Human Race again!"

"The Glory Land?" A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Saint of Feathers. "With your talent and cultivation, the Human Race inheritances stored there should already be useless to you, right?"

"I want to go deeper!" Lu Li's expression was calm.

"What!"

The Saint of Feathers' expression changed slightly: "Could it be... you want to comprehend that half-meter broken stele?"

Before the last opening of the Glory Land.

He had once given the Great Expansion Sword Art to Lu Li.

The Saint of Feathers knew very well that it was the key to stepping before the half-meter broken stele!

However, that was merely a sliver of opportunity. If Lu Li could not comprehend it, or could not step before that half-meter broken stele, it could only mean that Lu Li had no affinity with it!

He had not taken this matter to heart.

Later, because of the arrival of the Demon Jiao Saint, he had been forced to leave early.

Lu Li entering that half-meter broken stele!

He did not know.

Hearing this now, he was naturally somewhat shocked!

He truly had not expected that Lu Li had actually grasped that sliver of opportunity!

"My hope of becoming a Saint perhaps lies there!"

Lu Li looked at the Saint of Feathers.

"Very well, since you have an affinity with it, then I will send you in one more time." The Saint of Feathers' expression shifted, his gaze becoming deep.

"Looking at the Saint of Feathers' expression, the origin of that half-meter broken stele must be extraordinary!"

"It is more than extraordinary; it is practically a matter of life and death for the Human Race!"

The Saint of Feathers sighed lightly.

"However, these things have nothing to do with you for now. Once you have truly grown up, you will naturally know."

After the Saint of Feathers finished speaking.

And gave a few more instructions, he turned and left.

In the blink of an eye.

Another day passed.

On this day, all the martial artists of Dui City returned.

City Lord Shi Xiaoyuan, with the City Lord Mansion guards and the assistance of many martial artists, began to rebuild the destroyed outer city. Reborn, those who survived this battle felt extremely fortunate.

And just as Dui City was striving to improve, the Saint of Feathers declined all interruptions and left with Lu Li and Qian Wang.

They all knew very well.

After this battle.

Even if other Saint-realm Fierce Beasts were to come, it would still take some time.

This period of time!

Was enough for Dui City to complete its reconstruction!

Outside Dui City.

The Saint of Feathers, Lu Li, and Qian Wang appeared. They looked back once, then disappeared under the lead of the Saint of Feathers.

A Saint's step changes heaven and earth!

In less than a moment, the three returned to Qian Cheng.

"Saint of Feathers, Qian Wang, I will return to my villa first."

High above in the sky.

Lu Li looked at the villa in the distance and said.

"Go. Tomorrow morning, come find me at the City Lord Mansion." The Saint of Feathers nodded lightly.

As for Qian Wang.

Although he was broad-minded, after becoming a cripple, his heart was heavy, and he had become much more silent.

Lu Li did not know how to persuade him.

He just took one look and turned to leave.
