Chapter 248: The Heavenly Emperors Who Remained in the Mortal World
“You abandoned your human form to become a Nightmare, controlling the Nightmare Clan, just to understand the false gods and their laws. If the false gods descend, what are our chances of victory?” the old man asked.
“One hundred percent,” Strategist said calmly. “For the human race, for all races in the universe, for the dignity of living beings, for the will of freedom, we can only succeed.”
“You’re still the same as ever. I hope your years of planning will succeed. By the way, have you been outside the barrier? What’s it like there now?” the old man asked again.
“It’s not possible. Even Nightmares can’t pass through that barrier. Big Brother’s strength was too great; the barrier he left behind has become both a wall and a cage. Currently, only the Ghost Shark Clan can freely travel between the two sides, as they possess that divine artifact,” Strategist said.
“The Ghost Shark Clan? I remember they’re still occupying the Human Cultural Realm, right? They really don’t know what’s good for them. I never thought there’d be a day when humans would fall so low that even the mere Ghost Shark Clan dares to occupy our ancestors’ legacy. Sometimes I really want to wipe out the Ghost Shark Clan on Ghost Island, but it seems there’s no benefit other than alerting our enemies,” the old man sighed.
“Third Brother, let the children reclaim what was left for them. We should focus on preparing for the impending false gods,” Strategist reminded.
“You’re right. By the way, this child you speak of with a sage’s potential, he won’t side with the false gods, will he? After all, he also qualifies to become a false god,” the old man asked worriedly.
“That’s why in the coming battle, he’ll have only two outcomes: live and fight for humanity, or die. I respect his free will to choose, but he must also be responsible for his choice,” Strategist said.
“You’re indeed like that. It’s fortunate he was born on this side of the barrier and not the other. Otherwise, we’d have no chance of winning him over,” the old man remarked.
