Book 4: Chapter 51: The Survival of Humanity

“Wait, you mean she is the peak saint-level expert?”

Pope Delance of the Luminous Theocracy pointed to the wanted poster of Htilil projected on the square table in shock.

“Correct. Since this wanted poster of Golden Demon Htilil was issued by Pope Delance, I’m sure you are very well aware of how terrifying she is. Now that she has become a peak saint-level expert, this danger is comparable to a natural disaster.”

“Although I admit that she is as dangerous as natural disasters, there’s no way she could break through to the peak saint realm!”

“I understand that Your Holiness refuses to believe that such a terrifying person could reach the pinnacle of human race, but this is the fact.”

The vice-dean covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, tainting it with a shocking red.

“Truth be told, I’ve already fought against her earlier, but with the help of the entire academy. Even so, I was still no match for her. She reduced my cultivation realm and as a result, I won’t be able to display the strength of a saint-level expert for the time being. Her strength may already rival those veteran peak saint-level experts.”

“How could this be...?”

Pope Delance wore a skeptical look on his face as he muttered under his breath, “Although that brat has an incredible background, she hasn’t attained even the saint realm.”

How did she become a peak saint-level expert and even whoop someone’s a̲s̲s̲? That just doesn’t make sense!

“Hmph, it’s just a little girl. What’s there to be scared of? If she runs into me, I’ll crush her like she’s a little meat pie in my hand,” Taylor proclaimed while beating his chest.

Delance shot a strange look at Taylor and continued pressing the vice dean. “Vice Dean, are you sure you weren’t mistaken?”

“I’m absolutely sure. The Golden Demon Htilil that we met was definitely worthy of one billion bounty, in terms of her strength or slyness.”

No way! That was just a random figure I made up, knowing that none of you would dare to catch her if you knew of her identity!

The unexpected turns of events had Pope Delance rubbing his temples.

Good heavens, my head hurts.

“So where did that Golden Demon Htilil run off to?”

“Well, this is the main agenda of the square table conference.” The vice-dean beckoned someone from the side. “Professor Marlin, please take over from here.”

“Understood, Vice Dean.” Professor Marlin respectfully bowed to all the prestigious members before continuing. “Allow me to analyze the current situation for you next.”

“Analyze? Is the situation that complicated?”

“I expect nothing less of you, Your Highness. That is indeed the case.”

“It’s nothing to be amazed about. You seem to be beating around the bush and never got straight to the point. If that Golden Demon Htilil doesn’t pose a threat to humanity, then that only leaves that something unforeseen that you speak of.”

Lesiah clasped her hands together and rested her chin on them. “So, is it an invasion of another world, a zombie outbreak or alien attack?”

“N-None of the above.”

“Tsk, boring.”

Professor Marlin smiled wryly. “Rather than saying that it was that unforeseen event that may threaten the survival of humanity, it’s better to say that the unforeseen event, combined with the Golden Demon Htilil are what will truly threaten the entire human race.”

“Stop keeping us guessing. If you have something to say, then say it. If you have nothing to say, then I’m leaving. After all, I’m a very busy person,” Pope Novak said impatiently while filing his nails.

“Fine, I’ll say it.”

The projection on the square table changed with another gentle wave of Professor Marlin’s hand. A golden door appeared in the heart of the desolated Dragon God Lake.

The golden door looked very old and unsophisticated, like it had seen countless years. Mysterious and illegible characters were carved on the doors that were tightly shut. Even though they were viewing a projection, its ancient aura was leaking through.

“This is...” Even Taylor stopped fooling around and grew serious.

“The main agenda of this square table conference — the Ancient Ruins.”

“What?”

“How is that possible?”

“Aren’t the Ancient Ruins just a legend?”

“Do you think St. Caroline would joke about something like this?”

The vice-dean cleared his throat before speaking. “I know that everyone finds it hard to believe. However, our academy has authority in this area. There’s no way we could’ve mistaken this. If everyone still has any doubt, you may ask Lord Guardian. With his experience, he should be able to determine if this is real or not.”

Taylor nodded solemnly. “It’s indeed the Ancient Ruins.”

Upon hearing that, everyone’s gaze on the golden door immediately grew intense. The value of ancient ruins was immeasurable. It could even be the factor that could reverse the position of weaker and stronger countries.

“How does that Golden Demon Htilil relate to this Ancient Ruins?” Prime Minister Mihabel narrowed his eyes and his huge body trembled slightly. “How can the two of them threaten the survival of humanity when put together?”

“That’s because the Golden Demon Htilil has ventured into the interior part of the ruins. If she obtains any ancient relic or finds a trace of the seemingly unattainable Divine Realm, the entire human race is doomed to be at her mercy.”Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com
