Chapter 2602 Valid Option
Hyeoumu's silence continued for a few minutes before he finally spoke. "I understand. You can leave now."
The twins were taken aback. "Leave? Senior, we need to stop this war between the Underworld and the Realm of Gods. Every single expert that dies might be one less expert capable of fighting to protect our Universe against a possible invasion!"
Hyeoumu just replied coldly. "There is nothing I can do about it. What did you expect? You would come here, tell me that an invasion was coming, and then I would stop the war?"
"Well..." That's exactly what the twins wanted. Yet... they knew it wouldn't be that easy. "Why can't senior do anything about it? If it is something we can help with, we will definitely do our best. However, no one will hear our voices. Only someone like Senior would be capable of stopping it all."
"You don't need to continue speaking. I already said there is nothing I can do, and you can't change that. No one can," Hyeoumu was dead set on doing nothing.
"Is it because you don't believe our words?" Roan was the one to ask this time. "I won't lie; we are also not entirely sure if Hex's words can be trusted. Yet, it would be too late if we ignore his warning if he wasn't lying."
Surprisingly, Hyeoumu denied that. "No. I don't think you are lying. In fact, I don't think this Hex you are talking about is lying, either. From what you told me, he simply has nothing to gain from telling you such a thing. Regardless, I can't do anything."
The twins obviously insisted. "Senior! You don't really need to intervene in the war. All we need you to do is to pass over the message to the Semi-Celestials of the Universe. There isn't a single one of them who will ignore your warning. Even if you can't intervene, you should have no problem to at least talk, right?"
Kentucky couldn't help but get nervous. "What will we do? He was our only option!"
"He isn't..." Rean mentioned. Then, he waved his hand, and a voice echoed around them.
-Ancestors told us that we can give any crazy ideas still. There is one other idea that I believe you will absolutely hate, but that should convince the Devils to surrender and return to the Underworld.-
Everyone was taken aback. "Whose voice is this?"
"It was just a recording," Rean answered. "I told everyone during the gathering that we were still accepting ideas, after all. One of the cultivators in our System Sect offered just that. Keep listening."
-The Universe Foundation Fragment,- the guy's voice continued. -Such a huge Fragment, which is a fusion of various fragments and also the culmination of the ancestors' efforts all these years. If you offer it to the Devils... I'm pretty sure they will be happy to comply and give up the Realm of Gods' for good.-
-After all, according to the information Ancestors passed to us, the thing all experts at the peak of the cultivation world want the most is to enter the so-called Celestial Realm. Nothing is more important than that, even the territory in the Realm of Gods. You also said they are looking for any means to achieve that and that the Fragments might be one of these means.-
-Of course, it might also work the other way around. You offer the Fragment to the Realm of Gods' experts, and they will give up the territory the Devils are still occupying. However, this option is a lot riskier. The Realm of Gods' advantage is too big, so they might just take the Fragment and ignore the deal.-
Everyone went silent. That seemed to really be a valid option.
