Chapter 632: Unexpected Development (2/2)

”But then again, what do we do about the spies?” Alwina asked, ”They're too close and we can't keep anything a secret forever. We need to do some serious brainstorming here.”

”Actually, we already had a plan for that. We had a discussion three days ago and Raven here made a plan that works well and would also allow us to keep the spies from knowing anything.” Theo announced.

”Right. We planned on using the Trials in the Hall of Gods as a cover to discretely teach disciples on how to use offensive formations created by Raven.” Henry stated, ”We planned on having the disciples of the other War Gods who are leaving for the Celestial Ascension Platform first to test it out. Once they get an appropriate level of skill at driving the formations, Raven would seal their memories about it until the time is proper.”

”I see.” The Grand Elder nodded, ”This is a good plan. Doing this can make things discrete indeed. Have you guys implemented this already?”

”Not yet, Grand Elder.” Charles replied, ”Raven is still working on building the formations themselves, we still have to modify the Trials as well in order to slip this in without raising any alarms.”

The became silent for a bit. Everyone looked at the Sect Master, asking for his input but it would appear that he's distracted about something.

”Before I say anything, Raven is there anything else you would like to add?”

”Yes, I would like to add some things, Sect Master.” Raven nodded, alerting the rest.

”Feel free to speak then.”

”For starters, I kept this information from you for quite sometime. I didn't want to but I didn't want to give you additional headaches if I could help it. I resorted to relying on myself to find solutions for this problem and I'll admit it became rather stressful.”

”Still, I wouldn't have revealed this information to you if I could solve it alone. It's not that I didn't trust you, its just that I feel like its my responsibility to do so.”

”The reason why I revealed all of this to you ties to the very reason I summoned you on a short notice today. I received news about a special development occurred pertaining to the war that I would like to share to you since I believe this could at least give us a chance to turn the situation around.”

Raven kept the array disc and took out a replica of the diagram that marked the location of each branch within the divine realm. He then continued:

”I've been monitoring them closely and I got this news that an announcement was made amidst their ranks.” Raven lifted a hand and said: ”50 years...”

”Apparently, the Exiles are planning to begin the war within the next 50 years.” Raven's announcement surely caused everybody to be surprised. ”At first I thought of this as just an alarming rumor, but once I did more investigations, I came to the conclusion that it's more or less confirmed that they plan to wage war on us during the next 50 years.”

”The reason I can say so, is because of this diagram right here.” Raven lifted the replica of the diagram and showed it to them.

”This diagram doesn't just reveal the locations of the bases of the Exiles. It serves more purpose than that.” Raven stated, ”This diagram is also a blueprint of a massive formation that the exiles wanted to use in order to destroy the seal on the Devil Emperor in order to free him.”

Everyone inhaled sharply as he heard his declaration. To prove his point even further, Raven made some changes on the diagram and showed it to them once more.

”If you look at this closely, you can see that it is an elaborate formation with the Sect located at the very center. These worlds and planes where their bases are located, were placed in a strategic spot. I'm currently now sure how exactly they are going to accomplish this but they've been preparing for a long time already.”

”The links are already connected, that much I can confirm. A formation like this would require a ton of resources but that's not really a problem to them since like I said, they had been preparing for a long time.”

”50 years, that's the time left for us according to my estimates. That means that whether the sect survives or fall, all of it will be decided 50 years from now.”
