Chapter 611 The High Priestess (1/2)
After dinner, their guest from the White Dragon tribe left, and a cold wind blew across the lake. Gao Peng was still ruminating over what the old lady had said.
”What's bothering you?” asked Ji Hanwu, who had suddenly appeared behind Gao Peng.
”The fact that Earth will soon turn into a war zone. I still can't wrap my head around what's going to happen here,” said Gao Peng before letting out a long breath.
He was never the heroic type to try to save the world. As a rule, he always strove to avoid unnecessary conflict if possible. Him going to the Black Fog World to work could also be seen as him trying to escape from his own troubles. However, it seemed that there was no escaping this time.
On one side was the ancient clan; on the other were the natives of Jiutian Shidi, whom Gao Peng had never even heard of until that day. Both sides were hellbent on turning the Earth into a battlefield, delivering desolation onto the place.
That's right, we Earthlings stand no chance against either of them. If we can't beat either of them, we might as well hand this place over. The universe is such a big place, I'm sure there's somewhere we could relocate to.
But there's just so many of us here on Earth. We're talking about billions of people here.
”Then let's move,” said Gao Peng's grandfather after thinking about this for a while.
”Move?”
”Yeah. Don't we already have the Black Fog World? Those people from the ancient clan will probably be taking refuge in the sea of planes of existence. We could do the same.” His grandfather said the word ”refuge” without any sense of shame.
”Yes, you're right... The Black Fog World could definitely fit the billions of people here on Earth, and there would still be some space left over,” muttered Gao Peng, frowning. ”However, we can't do this by ourselves. A billion isn't exactly a small number.”
”We could seek cooperation from the government.”
”All right then, I'm leaving this to you, Grandpa. You go work out the details with the government, while I go over to the Squared World and participate in their tribal meeting and see what they're up to.”
”I think you should stay here and work with the government. I'll go to the Squared World myself,” suggested Gao Peng's grandfather.
”No, Grandpa, you should stay. Your words hold more weight with the government than mine. Besides, I still haven't grown a full beard around my mouth,” said Gao Peng, chuckling. There was no way he would let his grandfather go to the Squared World, where untold dangers probably lurked in every corner.
Despite being aware of this, Ji Hanwu still wanted to talk Gao Peng out of going. Before he could open his mouth, Gao Peng simply said, ”I have two Saint-tier familiars and a divine artifact at my disposal. I'm sure that I can get away from even a Quasi God there.”
Ji Hanwu was cut off immediately before he had a chance to get a word in. ”Fine, you can go.” His grandfather seemed to visibly age as he said these words. He could see that Gao Peng was no longer the little boy he had to shelter from the wind and rain.
Turning around, Gao Peng's grandfather muttered, ”Come back alive.”
”All right, Grandpa,” replied Gao Peng, nodding. Before leaving, the old woman had told Gao Peng where to find her. She would be staying in the Huaxia region for one more day and leaving for the Sky World the next day.
Gao Peng didn't see Bei Qingyan when he came back. His grandfather had told him that Bei Qingyan had left Yuzhou at someone's invitation. She must have already gone back to the Sky World.
The next day, in the afternoon, the blazing sun was shining down from the sky. Outside Yuzhou City stood a mountain villa, where people were bustling in and out. A group of people was sitting on the grass with a small table set before them. All kinds of food were placed on it.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
