Chapter 4169 - Shadow of Doom!
The Jiang Royal Palace
"Grand Chen’s Chen Qing and Grand Lin’s Lin Shenjian have arrived."
Following the report, Chen Qing and Lin Shenjian proceeded into the palace, accompanied by a group of cosmic gods. Tianming and Jiang Tianzhou were both present.
Jiang Tianzhou looked up, his solemn gaze fixed on Chen Qing and Lin Shenjian. "Arrangements can be made through our transmission stones. What brings you both here?"
"Brother Jiang... Are you ready for some brutal honesty?" Lin Shenjian asked with a sigh.
"Go ahead!" Jiang Tianzhou nodded, his eyes grim. He could probably guess what they were about to say.
"Reports of over a billion cosmic gods descending upon us and Mi Shen’s orders to exterminate our three stars have crushed the peoples’ morale. Panic and chaos has seized the population. It's like an apocalypse out there. All civilians and warriors will flee if the star isn’t sealed. The astralguard formation has become a prison, trapping our own people inside. Isn’t that ironic?" Lin Shenjian looked utterly defeated, his eyes gloomy.
"Grand Chen is experiencing the same situation. Talk of the end is everywhere and few believe we can stand against over a billion cosmic gods from the Eightpart Pantheons. The order for a starwide execution is a decree of merciless genocide. The overwhelming power wielded by the Eightpart Pantheons is the basis for their ruthless tyranny. No one has ever stood against them and survived unscathed," Chen Qing said, his eyes red.
"We can’t blame them for running. They’re just trying to stay alive..." Lin Shenjian sighed.
They avoided Tianming’s gaze while speaking, afraid he would misinterpret their words as blame. In truth, public outcry from all three stars against Tianming and Jiang Tianzhou had already reached the high heavens. Neither the confidence Tianming had once inspired nor the fact that Empress Xia needed land mattered. Right now, he was the only one they could blame for their predicament.
