Chapter 599 - 87 Solutions
Di Ti had initially been dutifully carrying out the relocation agreement with Lu Hong, but such matters proved exceptionally troublesome. Even as a supreme demon beast, her strength was diminished under the suppression of the plane. As a result, some brash demigod demon beasts, believing they had awakened ancient bloodlines and commanding thousands of troops, began to boldly confront Di Ti head-on.
Di Ti managed to restrain her temper and spare their lives on one or two occasions, but as such challenges persisted, her patience wore thin. During one negotiation with a demigod demon beast, she flipped the table and, with her power alone, annihilated a million demon beasts within the plane.
After all, the Endless Forest was not lacking in demon beasts, and Di Ti’s command included some under her own banner. What difference would a few more or a few fewer make?
Realizing this, Di Ti completely unleashed herself and poured Divine Power into the disaster-stricken planes provided by the empire. Upon learning this news, Konstantin had planned to harness Di Ti’s power and draw it towards the Hades forces, but Di Ti was no fool. She completely avoided getting involved in the turmoil of the Star Sea, taking a detour and sending a clear message: Exterminating demon beasts was part of my agreement with Duke Godwei. All other matters are off the table.
After listening to Duke Nuoshan’s account, Lu Hong couldn’t help but smile wryly—it seemed the likelihood of Di Ti offering assistance was next to zero.
"So, for now, it’s best you stay in the Northern Territory. The matters in Dongsheng will be resolved by Konstantin. There’s no need for you to worry about them," said Nuoshan, who was especially protective of Lu Hong. He continued, "Listen, I’m well aware of your potential. As long as you don’t perish, there will definitely be a place for you at the apex of the Star Sea in the future. Therefore, whether the Human Race truly faces extinction or not, you must survive. As long as you are alive and become strong enough, the Human Race will have the chance to rise again!"
Nuoshan’s words carried significant weight. At present, the Holy Divine Empire and the Eagle Alliance, the two major Human Race powers, were both embroiled in a tough battle. The objective of the Netherworld was crystal clear: their primary aim was to annihilate the human species.
From the messages received about the Netherworld, Nuoshan was not optimistic about the human situation, mainly because the Human Race lacked a deity, a Heavenly God walking within the Star Sea!
The Seven Towers might be capable of battling demigods, but it was nowhere near enough.
Therefore, in Nuoshan’s view, the downfall of the Human Race was just a matter of time. However, the rebirth after destruction was entirely in Lu Hong’s hands. As long as he did not die, he was the most likely candidate to become a Heavenly God amongst the entire Human Race. Once he ascended, he would have the power to suppress all under heaven and restore the glory of the Human Race.
Nuoshan’s arrival in the Northern Territory was said to be for the purpose of assisting and advising Lu Hong, but it also carried a sense of watching over and protecting him.
