Chapter 570: The words he chose (1/2)
'The situation is already so ugly before we even enter… that's not a good sign, is it?' Wang Ling commented seeing the drama unfold, he was never one to feel bad about death outside his people, it was a cycle and the unsaid contract of those who walks the path of cultivation, after all, 'But… I have grown soft, haven't I?'
'Well, you spent so long trying to take away the numbness that's been carved in you, that's better than being a mere slaughterer.' Bai Xue watched Wang Ling's journey at his second life, how he tried to fight against the temptation of a cozy life and his defeat, 'Though you grew to accept empathy, that doesn't change your dubious mind… which we will be needing in killing the bastard.'
Though others may think that she's being sarcastic and was actually bad mouthing him, the truth couldn't be further from the truth. Wang Ling survived to be the All-Father this long because of his dubious mind and if they want to save everything from becoming a hallowed shell of death, then, they would need Wang Ling's brain to figure something out.
They walked into the mess of a war room with nonchalance and uttered the words of needing everyone to win, ”We need every strong warrior to help us to protect everyone and everything.”
Wang Ling slightly lowered his head and so did Bai Xue to greet the others. They watched in enjoyment seeing the Ancestors and the GodKings almost fall to their knees to stop what they were saying, 'Their loyalty is secured.'
With that alone, Wang Ling confirmed the loyalty of the Ancestors, ”Family Head Mu Wei, Father, Garm, and Chang Ping, please, have a seat. We cannot talk about what we need to do if we are not in the same level to discuss the matter of dealing with the Death and surviving to see another day.”
Wang Ling said as he went to take one of the two vacant seats. Bai Xue did not bother getting down from Wang Ling's shoulder, she was too lazy to do so and then, after their appearance, the entire room was finally met with peace… tense, but nevertheless peaceful.
”First of all, thank you for attending in such a short notice while we are still in this state of chaos. If you are worried about your Clan and people, please do not worry, the Deities, Emperors, and the rest of the Wang and Xiao Family are dealing with taking care of the repercussions of the situation.”
No one responded with his attempts to lighten the mood. Only Garm and Philas quietly clapped to show support and respect to the All-Father. He laughed as he finally had enough and clapped is hands, ”I really am not good at this team play thing, so let us get to what we're all here for, and that's how we're going to beat the Origin General or how he's known now as the Emperor of Death.”
This time, everyone's eyes shone as even their ears wiggled hearing him speak of the matter.
”I have a plan to defeat the Emperor of Death. I propose that we weaken him, invade his dimension, the Abyss to lessen the —”
”So, you are telling us to die?” Dang Gu bashed the barrel of wine on the table as he commented, ”Do you think that hasn't been attempted before… but then again, will we even be able to do this—I am actually having doubts.”
