Chapter 1795: The Alert
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ever-effective heavy ion beam was proven completely ineffective this time. Even though a high-intensity heavy ion beam could penetrate the surface of the great array, it could not be used to pin a specific target due to the refraction from the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. In any case, the damage inflicted did not justify the energy expenditure.
The inside of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was filled with all sorts of abyssal creatures. There were even abyssal creatures that were stacked on some of the larger ones. The number of abyssal creatures in there was shocking.
Other than the artillery fire, both sides were in a temporary ceasefire which lasted for a full day.
In the Western Army Corps’ command post.
“We can’t keep doing this. Could it be that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect have changed their minds?” said Dong Zian with a solemn expression.
“They won’t change their minds. I know them well enough. It must be due to some other issues. No matter what, they’ll surely hand over the Eternal Heaven. I truly didn’t expect the abyssal plane to have helped us by accident, in a sense,” said Qiangu Dongfeng with a relaxed expression.
The Spirit Pagoda was threatened the most after Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect acquired the Eternal Heaven! After all, they knew very well the misdeeds they did in the past.
They were handing over the Eternal Heaven to be utilized soon. Without the threat of this lethal weapon, the Spirit Pagoda need not fight recklessly against the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy anymore. The earlier crisis was considered resolved to a certain extent.
The Western Army Corps’ regimental commander Yi Moshang spoke calmly, “It’s not as simple as it seems either. Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect are doing it for a price from the Federation. Maybe they’re negotiating now since there’s no update from them.”
Dong Zian waved his hand to dismiss Yi Moshang. He said, “All these are not important. The important thing now is to destroy the great array first. Pagoda Master Qiangu, if what you say is true, the great array can possibly produce a god?”
The relaxed expression on Qiangu Dongfeng’s face vanished. He nodded slowly. “It’s possible but it’s only a possibility. Godhood has always been the ultimate pursuit of all the soul masters at the Limit Douluo rank. Each soul master has his own technique. The Holy Spirit Cult’s technique is the most extreme, but they are the ones nearest to success. Frankly, I don’t want them to succeed. However, if they were to succeed, then it signifies that the plane barrier can possibly be transcended and there’s a possibility that we can achieve godhood too. The failure of our plan is a catastrophe for ordinary people, but not necessarily for those who are at the pinnacle of mankind.”
At this point, he paused. He looked toward Dong Zian and Yi Moshang to observe their reaction.
Dong Zian looked visibly moved, but Yi Moshang’s expression remained cold as usual. He said in a deadpan voice, “The responsibility of a soldier is to protect the people and defend the continent. What are you trying to say, Pagoda Master Qiangu?”
Qiangu Dongfeng waved his hand hastily and said, “I’m not trying to say anything. I’m only telling you the outcome of my conjecture.”
Yi Moshang said, “I hope so.” At this point, he looked toward the otherworldly woman seated nearby. The look of infatuation flashed past his eyes for a moment, but he quickly returned to his normal self.
“Miss Gu Yuena’s Silver Dragon Spear has the same function as the Golden Dragon Spear. It may be our greatest opportunity yet. According to the information we have currently, the energy devoured by Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear can be conveyed to the Life Subtree on the mountain peak. Miss Gu Yuena, what’s going to happen to the excess energy that you devoured then?”
Qiangu Dongfeng was the first person to be startled by Yi Moshang’s question. He was constantly mulling over how to seize the opportunity to entrap the Tang Sect and Shrek, so much so he failed to realize this crucial issue.
Gu Yuena told him that the Silver Dragon Spear could devour abyssal energy after they arrived at this place. At present, he could not help looking toward Gu Yuena when he heard Yi Moshang’s question.
Gu Yuena said without the slightest hesitation, “The abyssal energy devoured by me will be infused into the Spirit Pagoda’s Ten Thousand Beast Platform. I’m closely connected to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform’s plane. The plane requires energy to exist similarly. An abundant life force can transform the Ten Thousand Beast Platform into a more spacious and mighty landscape.”
Infused into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?
Dong Zian and Yi Moshang gazed into the eyes of one another. On the side, Qiangu Dongfeng was overjoyed. He chuckled and said, “Generals, the Spirit Pagoda will certainly repay your favors. In the future, both of you can send your people to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. For your people, the Spirit Pagoda will not charge any fees.”
Dong Zian chuckled. “You’re too generous, Pagoda Master Qiangu. For the Federation and the people, we’ll do our best to help Miss Gu Yuena to devour the abyssal energy.” In spite of what he just said, his eyes were flickering with greed.
The tremendous amount of abyssal energy that was converted into pure life force would certainly benefit any recipient. What would happen if it was given to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?
Qiangu Dongfeng had mentioned earlier how every Limit Douluo was looking for an opportunity to pursue Godhood. Perhaps, this could be an opportunity for the Spirit Pagoda.
However, he would not mention it to the people for now. Everyone would have an equal shot at it. Dong Zian was certainly a man skilled at seizing opportunities. Otherwise, he could not have started from the bottom and relied on his ordinary natural endowment to be promoted to his present high rank.
Upon her explanation, Gu Yuena closed her eyes once again and entered a meditative state as if she had nothing to do with the outside world.
Qiangu Dongfeng took a glance at Gu Yuena. He heaved a sigh in his heart. Sometimes, he felt he could not understand the young maiden anymore. Gu Yuena’s natural endowment was continuously being revealed, but he felt that she was getting more mysterious by the day. Had it not been Qiangu Zhangting who confirmed their consummation and assured him there was nothing wrong with her, Qiangu Dongfeng would have been suspicious because Gu Yuena had always performed well regardless of the task he assigned her. In short, she was beyond perfect.
COMMENT
Qiangu Dongfeng was most concerned about her relationship with Tang Wulin. Although she injured Tang Wulin severely during the Joust For A Spouse Festival, he had his doubts about their relationship and found it puzzling at the time.
However, it would not be easy for him to remove Gu Yuena now even if he wanted to. Gu Yuena’s promotion as the Spirit Pagoda’s deputy master was not just due to his support. More importantly, her contribution to the Spirit Pagoda was widely recognized. Be it her research in the ten thousand year spirit soul or the development and utilization of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, the Spirit Pagoda had benefited greatly. It was acknowledged by all the committee members.
Qiangu Zhangting had yet to be promoted to the post of Deputy Pagoda Master. Gu Yuena, on the other hand, had achieved it without much effort. It was mainly through her own hard work.
In fact, Qiangu Dongfeng often wondered whether he was a worthy match for his granddaughter-in-law. Gu Yuena had always given him an abstruse feeling.
Yi Moshang stood up and said, “I shall leave now. The three great fleets are in charge of the bombardment currently. However, we must still be prepared. Yu Guanzhi refused to tell me when we are going to utilize the Eternal Heaven. Old Dong, it’s better if you coerce him to do so soon. Otherwise, we’ll not be responsive.”
Dong Zian nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll go in a while. Yu Guanzhi may be the supreme commander, but he can’t possibly hide the truth from the masses. He’ll still need to give us an answer anyhow.”
All of a sudden, a piercing siren was heard.
Dong Zian and Yi Moshang looked toward the huge screen on the side subconsciously.
A red light swept past the screen. The siren was getting louder now.
“Connect to the command headquarters.” Dong Zian dispatched the order with his soul communicator at once.
