Chapter 1538: Shadow Council (2/2)

Li Qiye glanced at him and smiled while shaking his head: “No, I’m not interested in your council at all. I’m simply here to make a deal.”

“May I ask what kind of deal you want to make, Your Excellency?” Another shade asked. This shade resembled a bottomless ocean. He was the second sea G.o.d of the pavilion, Deep Blue!

“Before talking about the deal, let us speak about the purpose of the council. If our goals don’t align, then we can’t come to an agreement.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

The atmosphere became serious. The sea G.o.ds present held their breath and didn’t say anything.

“There’s no need to hide.” Li Qiye continued carefreely: “Then I’ll talk. The purpose of the shadow council is to deal with the Bonesea!”

All eyes slightly moved after hearing this. Despite not being their real bodies, just a s.h.i.+ft of their glare alone contained a mighty power.

“We are seeking out all the possibilities so that the sea demon race can survive during the advent of the disaster.” Prime solemnly said.

“If you can’t give me a clear answer, then we have nothing to talk about.” Li Qiye shook his head; “If you really wish for your race to survive, then you should be beseeching me, not the other way around.”

The sea G.o.ds around the table exchanged glances. They were very cautious.

“I can vouch for His Excellency.” In the end, True Martial broke the silence in a dignified manner.

Prime took a deep breath and began: “Your Excellency, you are the eternal overlord so I’m sure we can’t hide it from you either. Yes, I created the shadow council with such a thought in mind. However, the original intention was only to maintain some initiatives in the ordeal.”

“I understand, despite being sea G.o.ds and making a compromise once with the Bonesea, all of you don’t necessarily trust it. Because of this, you made some preparation before dying.” Li Qiye said with a smile.

With that, he peered around at each sea G.o.d and continued: “I’m not looking down on everyone here. If you were all alive and your real bodies were preserved until now, then yes, with everyone here, there is a chance that you might be able to oppose the Bonesea. But the current you won’t do. With your current state, how much strength can you actually exert when the time comes?”

The sea G.o.ds here had no response. They naturally understood this full well.

He continued on: “That’s why there are still some methods left. I can also guess what they are, so we’ll talk about that.”

“What is your wish, Your Excellency?” True Martial spoke again.

“I don’t want anything.” Li Qiye shook his head: “On the contrary, I came here bearing good news and hope, a light of dawn for everyone!”

“You mean?” The group was startled after hearing this.

“Yes, I came with good news. But first, I’ll reveal something. The disaster will come much earlier than your expectation, within one generation!”

“So early?!” Even True Martial was caught off guard.

The sea G.o.ds looked around at each other. They have experienced countless storms and danger but they still shuddered after hearing this. Everyone had a serious expression now.
