Chapter 672: Rising to the Challenge
King Tianyu, a prodigious figure among the Divine Race, had established the Prodigy Hall.
The Divine Race sustained itself by feeding on the willpower of all living beings, so humans, with their exceptionally vibrant and active will, were particularly valuable to them.
Humans did not reproduce as rapidly as some other species, but their growth rate was still significant.
In essence, the Divine Race seemed destined to enslave humanity, turning the masses into a resource for their own growth and advancement. However, the Human Race wielded immense power. Time and again, the humans resisted the tyranny of the Divine Race. Over countless eons, an irreconcilable enmity had taken root, cementing them as mortal foes.
In every corner of existence where humans and the Divine Race coexisted, their battles were fierce and unrelenting. Without external interference, only the complete annihilation of one side would grant the other peace and room to prosper.
The Heavenly Prison World was no exception. The presence of other races prevented them from engaging in a mutually ruinous struggle, lest opportunistic forces reap the benefits. Nevertheless, the Divine Race seized every opportunity to weaken humanity.
King Tianyu regarded the rise of a human prodigy as a matter of great importance. At this moment, prodigies of the Divine Race and alien races hostile to humanity had gathered within the high council of the Prodigy Hall.
King Tianyu glanced at a man with dark green skin. "Speak."
This was Mo Ying of the Sky Clan, the third-ranking figure in Prodigy Hall and the one in charge of intelligence operations. He, too, had attained the third level of the Supreme Technique.
Hearing the command, Mo Ying spoke swiftly. "I traced the origins of this news and found it first emerged from Stormwind Tower. They've been under our suppression recently, and this left them in a state of panic. Based on my initial assessment, there's a high probability this is a deceptive rumor the Stormwind Tower spread to buy themselves time...."
Many high-ranking members nodded in agreement. They believed this news to be largely baseless as well.
Stormwind Tower likely fabricated this information to divert attention and secure some much-needed breathing room.
