Chapter 1475: Fellow Daoist (III)
“On Dragon Observatory’s side, the leader is interested in joining the alliance against New Martial.” Void drank another cup of ale, finding it to his taste. “He boldly hopes to become a seventh rank from it. There’s not much meaning in that for me since sixth rank is only a matter of time.
“Seventh, however, is too hard! Not to mention that by the time I reach sixth rank, the war in Red Moon Region might be over. Red Moon is no match for New Martial!” He shook his head. “The Red Moon master is an eighth rank exalted emperor, but he’s already reaching outward for support. That is a clear sign of lack of confidence.
“Even though people say they feel comfortable doing this because they have a deep foundation to draw from, what use is that when they need external help against New Martial? They want to leverage force against force, but this is the beginning of failure!
“That’s one point. The second is that the New Martial Human King is completely undaunted and going on a general rampage in all directions, clipping Red Moon’s feathers. At the same time, he’s doing so to deter other participants. The shadow cast by the Human King has the Red Moon master running in fright.
“Third, Red Moon major world centers itself on desire. The more desires they have, the greater the fear! In contrast, New Martial is known for its fanaticism. But at its core, that is faith, not fanaticism!
“They have a resolute faith not in the Human King, but in their species, their mental strength, and defiance!” Void waxed eloquent. “Under such conditions and given New Martial’s dominating performance in the chaos after appearing for only one thousand years, it seems to me that it’s only a matter of time before the Human King reaches eighth rank!
“He detonated Utmost Dark’s dao universe—what did that mean? Everyone else saw this as evidence of his madness, whereas I see that even the dao universe of a major world is useless for his progression!”
Li Hao blinked, turning over the other’s words. That was right, the Human King had no need for a dao universe! Otherwise, with his personality, he would devour it and think of other ways to raise a fuss. He could set foot into eighth rank if he swallowed it, but instead, he turned his attention to cutting down another major world instead.
The young man had almost forgotten this detail himself.
This meant that the dao universe of a major world was of no benefit to the Human King’s advancement. That also obliquely indicated that he’d reached peak seventh rank and was infinitely close to eighth rank!
“Therefore, I predict that New Martial will win this war!” Void laughed. “Of course, this is just my speculation. I am only a fourth rank, after all. I am too far removed from them, so I should not come to wild conclusions!”
His curiosity was piqued and he asked further, “If it was not me here today, but someone else, what would the fellow daoist upon the reveal of your identity?”
