Chapter 1090 - Restraining Order (2/2)

The group of Rescuers was inside the white-jade fortress talking to four political leaders.

Out of the four prominent figures, three of them were old men and there was one young man.

They were clad in delicate, top-notch silk and were accessorized with many artifacts, one would know that they were not from an ordinary background at one look.

They all bore gloomy looks and were in a bad mood.

“Don’t worry, city magistrates, although there are restrictions from supreme deities, we too have support from a major god and we will be able to send your whole city back.” A sage-like old man consoled the helpless men in front of him.

“Ah actually, as well-informed people, we do have a vague idea regarding seeking refuge in the Lower Realm. After all, we do worship ancestral gods in our clans, it’s just that the supreme deities have issued a restraining order that bans us from descending without permission, so what can we do?” An old man sighed, shaking his head.

“It’s truly despicable when you mention it. We’ve always offered many sacrifices to these gods but at this critical point between life and death, we are not even allowed to find our own way out? I’m so fed up with this.”

“Keep your voice down, City Magistrate Zhang, although it has been a long time since the supreme deities manifested their divinity, you still have to be careful of getting punished for such public defamation.” The other three old men quickly stopped him.

“Hmph, we’re different from the others, we each have secret techniques from our clans and can stay alive for over ten thousand years but those mortals, they’ll just die after several decades. If we don’t hurry up, descend with these immortals, and re-establish our family business, are we just going to wait until we grow old and die like mortals?”

After having heard these words, the three old men nodded in unison and discarded their fear of the gods in an instant.

They were older and it was time to use their clan’s secret techniques.

Following the regression of vitality, many magic spells have been rendered useless and many secret techniques that had failed in the Upper Realm.

The mortals had no care for these things as they had no chance at immortality anyway.

However, for these prominent figures, such an ending was unacceptable. The thing about immortality was that before having it, it was still bearable; having it taken away after owning it, on the other hand, was intolerable.

They could keep their head down with other losses, but when it came to losing this benefit, they had to put up a fight, because even if the gods were angered, the worst could only be death.

These handpicked Rescuers were skilled in conflict management and were able to detect the main conflict in this situation—the conflict between the gods from the higher class and the lower-middle-class, the Extraordinaires.

The lower-middle-class Extraordinaires that were directly controlling the people, as well as most of the lower class’ assets, had suffered the biggest losses.

They were helpless against the great changes of nature unless they were willing to be reduced to being mortals.

“As soon as you gather all your clan members and pack up all your assets, we will contact the Venerable One to send you back.” The old man assured.

“Mmm, I’ve made my decision, I’ll start mobilizing as soon as I get back home and gather everyone in the city after three days. We’ll move the entire city to the Lower Realm,” the young man said with resolve.

With no words of objection, it was clear that the three old men were in agreement with the plan.

“Very well, let’s start as soon as possible, we shall carry out our own parts.” The sage-like old man decided.

Thus, these Rescuers parted with the four leaders.

After that, the Rescuers found a spot to discuss among themselves.

“Teacher Hong, is this really feasible? We can’t even escape ourselves, should we still bring along so many with us?” A Rescuer asked the old man.

“Haha, you don’t understand this, how else can we gain the attention of the Venerable Dragon God unless we gather this many people? You should know that the Venerable Dragon God is behind this group of Upper Realm Rescuers. The true owner of the Divine Monument is him too. He is the most merciful, but if there’s only us, then it would probably take a long time. However, if we bring along a few million households, how could he ignore us and let us get massacred by the supreme gods?” The old man said perceptively.

“I see, you are brilliant, Teacher Hong.” The group complimented as they relaxed.

At this point, Fang Ning had figured things out.

These Rescuers were truly carefully selected prodigies, once they realized that they could not return, they did not just give up on searching for ways to break the seal, they even kidnapped more people so that Fang Ning had no choice but to step in.

“Damn it, these fellas really know how to create problems for me,” Sir System said resentfully.

“Yet, can you ignore them?” Fang Ning asked.

“I know I can’t, how can I just watch them die? Anyhow, we still need to solve this problem, or else, how can we rake in—no, save the Upper Realm’s heritage?” Sir System sighed.

“Exactly and these fellas knew this too—they definitely did this to make their rescue a priority,” Fang Ning said shaking his head.

Little people had their own ways, and in desperate situations of life and death, there was no means too unscrupulous.
