“What happened to you?”

Everyone stared at Lan Zhize, who looked like a beggar, in speechless surprise.

Couldn’t he have at least changed his attire before returning?

With an aggrieved expression, Lan Zhize said, “You have no idea. This time, the people pursuing me were terrifyingly numerous!”

“Previously, the most powerful beings hunting me were Nine Tribulation Spirits. Even though it was difficult, I was able to escape...”

“But this time, there were four of them chasing me...”

Four?

Du Gang turned to the other three. Thanks to the data, he knew that among those hunting them there were only eight of them with the cultivation level of Nine Tribulation Spirits.

And these eight people only possessed Yellow Grade abilities. None of them possessed Mystic Level arts. This was one of the reasons why Lan Zhize and the rest could escape.

Tao Xuanzhu was taken aback before she understood and nodded, “This time, there were two Nine Tribulation Spirits among my adversaries. I assumed, therefore...”

Du Gang turned his head and asked, “Kou Yingwu, how about you?”

Without hesitation, Kou Yingwu replied, “I was only pursued by two Nine Tribulation Spirits as well...”

Du Gang looked surprised. He turned to Jia Xiangming, “What about you? No one was chasing you?”

“Of course, there was!”

Jia Xiangming seemed puzzled, “I was chased by four people as well. Otherwise, why would I have returned so late?”

Du Gang nodded, “Four more Nine Tribulation Spirits? This implies that their Main God has joined the battle?! ”

In the past few days, he had not just been idling around but had been actively collecting information about this place.

The Seven Gods Palace was very well-known on the continent and the situation inside was basically transparent. Thus, he didn’t have to exert much effort to learn about their abilities.

Du Gang nodded again quickly, “It’s normal for them to join the battle. After all, we prepared from the beginning to be hunted by the entire continent...”

“Now, our top priority is to locate the Son of Destiny and kill him!”

He unfurled the world map and started pointing at a small red triangle on it.

“This triangle is the location of the Son of Destiny so we...”

“Wait, you’ve found the Son of Destiny already?”

Lan Zhize, who had just returned, looked at him with surprise, finding it hard to believe.

“Yes, we have!”

Having responded to his question, Du Gang continued, “And within this triangle, there are two human settlements. So that means, the Son of Destiny is in one of these two areas...”

“First, we need to determine which area he is in. Once we’ve done that, whether it’s proceeding to the search and rescue in the third phase or obliterating everyone like the captain has suggested, all options are on the table...”

Destroying an entire continent and wiping out a single settlement – clearly, the latter is easier.

The current issue is not about the morality of killing innocent people.

If they don’t kill the Son of Destiny, they will fail their mission, and they would be the ones to die!

This annihilation would even wipe out all the other gods!

This means they have no other options!

If they are driven to a dead end, even if it requires destroying the entire continent, they would have no choice but to do so!

A population of one hundred billion...

A sense of melancholy stirred within Du Gang. He always thought of himself as a good person.

But, when forced to choose between his own life and the lives of one hundred billion people on this continent, he chose himself.

There was no grand cause, no inescapable reason for death.

There was only his own will to survive!

A simple goal of wanting to live!

Not dwelling on his melancholy for long, he quickly regained his mental composure. After glancing at the time, he said, “The next revelation will begin soon. We need to hurry up and reach the triangular area. This time, we should be good...”

Everyone was excited. This meant they were on the verge of completing their mission.

The looming threat of annihilation made them breathless. So naturally, they were exhilarated to see the dawn of victory.

“What are we waiting for? Let’s get moving!”

Under Du Gang’s guidance, they made it to the triangular area. Then, as he instructed, they flew in the pre-determined direction.

Looking at both directions, Du Gang noticed a human settlement on each side. His calculations concluded that the Son of Destiny should be in one of them.

Could it be this easy?

Shaking his head, he sighed.

Without analysis, he presumed he was almost as powerful as Kou Yingwu. But now he realized, even if he applies the Jie-Character Secret at full throttle, he probably won’t be able to defeat Kou Yingwu.

After all, you can’t imagine the enemy being poorly gifted and lacks training, that’s self-deceiving.

So, at most, my strength levels with Tao Xuanzhu, Lan Zhize, and Jia Xiangming must strive to keep up with me!

Moreover, my combat power boost is short term explosion... no, their peak of power is also short term explosion, the only difference is, after I explode, the power only remains at one thousand eight hundred, after they explode, it might still be seven or eight thousand or even over ten thousand.

As he was pondering, a violent blast wave came from afar.

Has the fight started?

This time, they are conducting tests within a triangular area, the range is relatively small, which makes the difficulty even greater.

It mainly reflects in two aspects. On one hand, it’s difficult for Lan Zhize and the others to escape once they get the data.

On the other hand, there is a risk of them being discovered at any time!

“Anyway, let’s meet resistance with resistance, hold our ground and see what happens!”

At this point, further analysis of combat power is of no avail, it can only establish a base in his heart, and it cannot change anything.

In the end, we still have to fight for real!

...

“That woman is really beautiful!”

In a dense forest, Cang Yu and Fire Thorn Lady stood on a tree chatting casually.

After experiencing several pursuits, they had roughly assessed the situation of their opponents.

Fire Thorn Lady curled her lips, “She’s just a bit better dressed than me!”

You?

Cang Yu gave Fire Thorn Lady a glance. Before, he couldn’t deny that Fire Thorn Lady was the most beautiful and hot woman on this continent.

But now, comparing Fire Thorn Lady to that fairy woman he saw, she really seemed like a turkey and a phoenix!

“Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that?!”

Fire Thorn Lady was somewhat impatient and said irritably, “Don’t be a love-struck fool. No matter how good-looking she is, she’s from another world. Now tell me, what on earth are these guys up to, why do they appear and disappear...”

After experiencing several patterned pursuits, she had also sensed something unusual, but with her intelligence, she wasn’t able to figure it out.

Without hesitation, Cang Yu said, “At present, it seems like the enemy is collecting some data...”

“Yes, they seem to be testing something, like they’re making some judgments. I’m not quite sure what they’re up to, perhaps they’re looking for some treasure or something!”

Fire Thorn Lady didn’t pay attention to this, instead, she casually asked, “Cang Yu, who else is with you?”

Cang Yu chuckled, “Are you sent by Fire?”

Fire Thorn Lady denied immediately, “How could that be, I told you, I also want to become a main god, to replace them...”

Cang Yu glanced at her calmly, his eyes deeply observing her. After a while, he said softly, “You can join, the four gods are slaughtered and the seven positions are enough for us to share. But I can’t tell you who’s our teammate because I don’t know if you’re Fire’s person...”

He didn’t fully trust Fire Thorn Lady. People who truly knew his plan were extremely trustworthy.

If Fire Thorn Lady had found out about it, from his calculation, the only latter could be Fire!

He was conspiring to rebel, and there was a high chance for Fire to notice.

Because he planned many things going through Fire, it was normal for them to be detected.

After all, Fire was the strongest among the four gods, and he was the one with the most secrets.

Even if you know it, so what?

Cang Yu sneered in his heart. Their rebellion was actually a public plot, and Fire didn’t dare to disclose it.

Because the eight of them together weren’t weaker than the four of them.

Once made public, there would be no room for relaxation, and they would have to fight to a conclusion.

By now, neither side was prepared!

Fire Thorn Lady was somewhat perturbed.

She was indeed sent by Fire, and Fire had also told her about Cang Yu’s plan to rebel.

But in fact, she also had her own plans.

She really wanted to join Cang Yu, but she was afraid he would fail and end up being punished by the four gods.

So, she was somewhat hesitant, hoping that Cang Yu would give her something decisive to make her feel secure and help her fully commit.

“Let’s stop talking. I’m going to pursue the fairy now, it’s almost time for them to appear...”

Without saying much, Cang Yu displayed an attitude of going after his goddess, and flew towards the north.

Seeing this, although Fire Thorn Lady didn’t like the beautiful and elegant woman, she still followed Cang Yu.
