Chapter 199 - A Dilemma!
Chapter 199 A Dilemma!
An oppressive atmosphere filled the conference room.
The power of the demons was beyond imagination!
The old man in the suit spoke slowly.
“There are a total of five Light Bringers in the Holy Church, four Knight Commanders of the Order of Apocalypse, three Hermit Masters, and three in the Dragon Group. There are a total of 15 Heaven Masters.”
“But there are a total of 46 Grade A+s from the Abyssal Demon Race invading Earth. That’s three times the difference!”
“Most importantly, most of us Heaven Masters are only initial-stage Heaven Masters, and the other party even has power that’s beyond peak Grade A+…”
“Once all-out war begins, our forces will immediately be stretched thin.”
“Everyone has heard the choice that the Demon Race has placed in front of us. Hehe, actually, there’s no choice. It’s just the difference between dying immediately or slowly bleeding to death.”
The people gathered here were the last elites of humanity.
They instantly saw through Xuan Ye’s thoughts.
But so what if they saw through it?
This was an open conspiracy.
With the strength that the Abyss had displayed so far, to humans, it made no difference whether they accepted or not.
If they really went to war, the humans would not be able to win.
However, everyone was puzzled.
Why did the Abyssal Demons have to do this?
The greatest taboo in war was delay!
If he could defeat his opponent in a flash, why did he have to go through unnecessary trouble?
Was there something in it that humans did not know?
Forcing the demons to do this?
Was it possible for humans to use this to obtain a slight chance of victory?
This was why everyone was hesitating.
“Therefore, in my opinion, we should agree to the conditions of the demons first. No matter why they are willing to give us a chance to breathe, it will be more beneficial than harmful to us!
“The longer this drags on, the better. We have the Golden Ranking Lists, and the strength of humans is rapidly increasing. We won’t be afraid even if this drags on for eight to ten years!
“Even if we have to suffer some grievances, even if some of us have to die for nothing, it’s worth it!”
The old man in the suit spoke bluntly.
“I disagree!”
Suddenly, a man wrapped in silver battle armor stood up.
The man was two meters tall.
He was the commander of the Order of Apocalypse.
And also a senior Heaven Master Realm expert.
At this moment, he suddenly objected fiercely.
“It’s fine to send us old fellows to our deaths, but those aliens are clearly trying to exterminate our seeds!
“The Battlefield of the Prodigies? Hehe! The Graveyard of the Prodigies, more like it!
“The current younger generation is generally only B-rank, and a small number of geniuses could fight A-rank.
“But looking at their opponents, the weakest of them are all A-ranks!
“There are even a large number of Spirit Transformation experts.
“Isn’t this sending them to their deaths!?
“Instead of watching our descendants die, why don’t we old fellows take a risk? Even if we die, I’ll bite off a few pieces of their flesh!”
“Ridiculous! We all want to fight! But the other party has more than 40 Grade A+s and many peak-level combatants. How can we fight them?! Can we defeat them?!
“When it comes to the survival of mankind, we must not act on impulse!
“We have to endure it for now so that we won’t be worried in the future!
“You might be happy for a moment, but at that time, without the deterrence of us old fellows, humans will really become pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered! Then you will be the sinner of humans!”
The old man in the suit from the Holy Church of Light was also furious.
They argued until their faces turned red.
No one present blamed them.
Everyone knew. The two of them were only thinking about the future of humanity.
One was adventurous and radical. He wanted a grand battle. He would rather die standing than live kneeling.
However, the consequences were obvious. It was like an egg hitting a rock. It could only be crushed!
From then on, the human race would completely lose the right to be independent.
They would be enslaved!
Moreover, this might be exactly what the Abyssal Demons wanted!
After all, from the looks of it, their ultimate goal might be to wipe out the high-end human forces.
Everyone could see these things clearly.
The old man in the suit’s method was more stable.
But they were really indignant!
If they chose to agree, that was to let them watch their comrades and compatriots die!
It was said to be a fair fight.
But everyone knew.
The enemy could easily find a few invincible Demon Kings of the same level.
There were only a few human Heavenly Masters, and they lacked combat experience. It was extremely difficult to win!
Moreover, the demons’ ambitions were far more than that.
What they wanted was to destroy all hope of humanity.
Kill all the geniuses of the next generation. Kill all hope of human revival in the cradle!
This was the real reason why everyone was in a dilemma.
Weren’t they risking their lives here for the future of mankind?
If all the younger generation died, what was the point of everything now?
Everyone fell silent.
A dilemma!
Suddenly, the knight commander looked at Hou Wudi and his eyes lit up.
“By the way, Brother Hou! I remember that there are three Sacred Lands and ten great families in the ancient martial arts world of Hua Xia!
“Let’s not talk about the ten great families for now. However, the three Sacred Lands have a long history and are very powerful. They should have many Heaven Masters, right? With them, we have a chance to fight the demons head-on!”
The more the knight commander spoke, the more he felt that there was hope. He could not help but ask, “Where are the people from the three Sacred Lands? Why isn’t there anyone from the Sacred Lands at such an important meeting today?”
The moment he finished, everyone present looked at Hou Wudi.
Many people were indeed puzzled.
In the previous battle in Hua Xia, they did not see any Heavenly Masters from the three Sacred Lands helping.
If not for Hou Wudi’s outstanding strength, Hua Xia would’ve probably been in danger too.
Logically speaking, the strength of the three Sacred Lands was unfathomable.
It was possible for them to send a few Heavenly Masters to help.
Hearing this, Hou Wudi’s expression suddenly darkened.
A cold glint erupted in his eyes.
“Don’t count on them. The three Sacred Lands? Hehe! They’re a bunch of idiots!
“They already sent someone to inform me that the mountain was about to close!
“They won’t participate!
“If not for the fact that the situation is critical now, I would definitely destroy these fellows who are just watching from the sidelines!”
“What? How can this be?!”
“When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. Don’t they even understand this logic?!”
Hou Wudi’s expression became even colder, and his voice was incomparably freezing.
“They think that they live deep in the mountains and rivers that are insurmountable. They also rely on the powerful array formations left behind by their ancestors for generations to protect themselves, so they don’t care about anything!
“Oh right, these idiots have left themselves a way out.
“They once said that if humanity was really in a life-and-death situation, they’d be willing to open their doors and protect a batch of human seeds while waiting for the arrival of the true Great Era!”
“Great Era? What Great Era?”
Someone frowned.
Hou Wudi also shook his head.
“I don’t know. These Sacred Lands that have been passed down for a long time know a lot of things. They might know something, so they dare to watch from the sidelines!”
“Ridiculous! Ridiculous!”
The old man in the suit lamented.
“We were born in this era and are already tightly bound to this era.
“If everyone in our era dies, even if a great era comes, it has nothing to do with us!
“Would they get any opportunity from this?
“You can’t even see through this. You’re unworthy of being called a Sacred Land!!”
