Chapter 1539: An Ambitious Strategy (2/2)
“I don’t want anything but a promise from all of you. At the start of the war, you must be on our side. Moreover, that is the time for you to sacrifice yourselves.”
Having said that, he became serious: “This long-lasting shadow council must have been the place for many discussions about methods of resistance. At that time, I’m sure you will know what to do!”
True Martial was next to speak: “To be perfectly candid, Your Majesty, we have indeed discussed a few methods. However, it is limited and only in theory, we have never actually carried it out. We don’t know which methods are possible.”
“Blood detonation.” Li Qiye slowly said: “All I can suggest is this method. This is the most direct and effective solution.”
Blue Sea pondered for a moment before asking: “Hmm, is that possible?”
“Heaven Spirit, no, all of nine worlds, wouldn’t have something like this.” Li Qiye replied: “it’s just like the immortal beasts, do they really exist in the nine worlds? Of course not. But this doesn’t mean they don’t exist so I can guarantee that this method is the best choice.”
“Has it been done before?” The group was slightly tempted now.
Li Qiye looked at them and explained: “The crucial question now is whether you are willing to pay the price for your race and Heaven Spirit. I know that you have made a deal with the Bonesea before. But now, do you wish to work with me or the Bonesea? Whether it is for your own sake, your descendants, or the sea demon race, it is your choice now.”
After some wordless deliberation and exchanged glances, all the sea G.o.ds solemnly nodded.
Prime spoke: “Your Excellency, we can sacrifice ourselves. The truth is that I wouldn’t have started the shadow council and they wouldn’t have joined if it wasn’t for our descendants and the sea demon race. As long as our race can survive in this disaster, we can end our transaction with the Bonesea. However, we can’t underestimate the Bonesea at all. Even if we could carry out your proposal, I’m afraid it will still be very difficult. You know it well enough. Once it reaches that point, it will have total control.” He gently sighed with the last statement.
“Don’t worry, since I offered a method, I will also have a way to make your blood detonation a success. Don’t forget, this method of mine didn’t come out of thin air. It’s not in theory only.” He a.s.sured them with a smile.
The group became spirited after hearing this right away. Prime nodded again: “We are relieved to hear your a.s.surance and shall promise you to work together during the decisive battle!”
Finally, the sea G.o.ds and Li Qiye have reached an agreement. Just like Li Qiye has said, this choice of theirs meant personal sacrifices!
Prime pondered for a bit and said: “Your Excellency, I wonder if I should ask you this question or not?”
“Speak.” Li Qiye chuckled while looking at him.
“I heard that you are always confident of victory because you have in your possession a few ultimate artifacts. Even emperors do not have items of this level.” He spoke with uncertainty.
The sea G.o.ds here stared at him with antic.i.p.ation. They rarely made contact with him so they knew nothing about him. Of course, True Martial was the exception.
However, the legends about the dark hand behind the curtain scared even emperors, let alone them. This made them quite curious about his ultimate means.
Li Qiye smiled and said: “Certain ultimate artifacts, right? If I’m not mistaken, True Martial must have told you.”
True Martial coughed and said: “Yes, I blurted it out when discussing different resisting methods. I heard Immortal Emperor Min Ren talked about it before. He said that you still have a few extremely terrifying items, some that could destroy everything. He even went as far as to say that if they existed, only you would have them.”
He felt a bit awkward about it. After all, not everyone was qualified to know these secrets. The consequence would be unimaginable if this rubbed Li Qiye the wrong way.
