Chapter 1780: Chapter 1819: Preparing for War Against the Hell Realm
"Do you have anything to say?" Surprisingly, the Great Wine Sacrifice actually asked Jiang Fan for his opinion.
The Nine Nether Demon Venerable thought for a moment and understood.
It’s not just a matter of retreating or not, it’s about the fate of two worlds!
Don’t be fooled by the Eight Prisons Asura Emperor’s casual words, claiming it’s merely a misunderstanding.
That’s because they can’t spare their hands now, needing to focus on dealing with the Ancient Giants. Once the battle is over, they will definitely turn around and invade Central Earth!
Central Earth only has two options.
Either launch a proactive attack or passively wait for the invasion.
Therefore, the Great Wine Sacrifice is undecided!
Asking Jiang Fan for his opinion is understandable, as Jiang Fan is the closest person to the Ancient Saint.
His opinion might best align with the Ancient Saint’s intention.
Many Great Wine Sacrifices and Sages looked at Jiang Fan, making him feel speechless.
Such a significant matter, yet they let a junior make the decision?
However, the Ancient Saint’s intention couldn’t be clearer.
Since she has allowed the Asura Saint Son to forge a passage between the two realms, the intention is clear, which is to proactively invade the Hell Realm!
It’s just unclear what the Ancient Saint’s goal is in promoting this battle.
Such heavy losses to Central Earth’s remaining combat power must aim for immense benefits.
Jiang Fan thought for a moment, gazing resolutely, and said, "Great Wine Sacrifice, since these Asura Emperors dare to come, don’t let them return."
"To avoid becoming a future hidden threat in the upcoming battle,"
The faces of the Great Wine Sacrifices and several Sages changed slightly; is Central Earth really going to actively invade?
For millennia, Central Earth had always been passively defending against enemy attacks; actively invading the Otherworld is a first.
It made them feel uneasy.
Central Earth and the Hell Realm had coexisted peacefully for millennia. Now, for Central Earth to invade while they are suffering calamity from the Ancient Giants feels somewhat unjust.
Jiang Fan’s gaze remained resolute and even somewhat ruthless, saying: "Respected seniors, have no psychological burden."
"Do not forget where you are standing."
"Hell Realm’s World Artifact!"
"Why is it here, have the seniors ever wondered?"
Hmm?
The eyes of several Great Wine Sacrifices brightened with understanding, while the Nine Nether Demon Venerable and the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, both newcomers who entered Sagehood within a millennium, were unaware of ancient secrets.
Jiang Fan said: "This was left behind thousands of years ago when a Boundary Master from the Hell Realm pierced through the realms, preparing for invasion."
"Just postponed for some reasons."
"For thousands of years now, that Boundary Master didn’t retrieve the World Artifact; it’s evident they seek our Central Earth’s demise!"
Upon learning the secret of the Attic World Device, the Nine Nether Demon Venerable narrowed his eyes, a cold aura enveloping him.
"I was puzzled about where this Attic World came from; turns out, it’s Hell Realm’s wolfish ambition!"
"Then they cannot be wronged!"
The Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable pressed his palms together, said: "I endorse Master Jiang’s opinion."
"When wolves desire to prey on humans, is it not righteous for humans to strike first?"
The Taicang State Great Wine Sacrifice stroked his beard and said: "Not only this."
"Thousands of years ago, Hell Realm was badly damaged, failed in their expedition to the Heavenly Realm, and faced invasion from the Otherworld, so they bargained a piece of Hell Realm land, seeking help from wandering Ancient Saints during the Void era."
"Later, Ancient Saints risked much to lift the restriction of Saints not participating, repelled the invaders, and acquired the land."
"Unexpectedly, after Central Earth stabilized, Hell Realm went back on their word, attempting to reclaim the land."
"Only postponed due to certain reasons."
Upon hearing this,
Jiang Fan was astonished; this is the true origin of Central Earth.
Rumors claimed Central Earth was land pieced together by Ancient Saints seizing plots from the Heavenly Realm and Hell Realm, but clearly, it wasn’t outright seizure.
How could a weak Central Earth openly extract land from two powerful realms?
It’s possible that Ancient Central Earth made deals with Hell Realm and the Heavenly Realm.
With their permission, they successfully extracted the land.
Only for Hell Realm to backtrack!
Central Earth’s Ancient Saints, in an era where "Saints do not participate," risked everything to resolve Hell Realm’s crisis, only to receive Hell Realm’s broken trust!
And thousand years passed without dying ambitions, constantly ready to invade Hell Realm!
Jiang Fan’s eyes turned cold and said: "In that case, there’s no reason to hesitate further!"
"Great Wine Sacrifice, respected seniors, prepare to go to war with Hell Realm!"
"If they really don’t want war, they can withdraw this Attic World Device before we formally invade Hell Realm."
"If they refuse to withdraw, then their ambition is self-evident."
Summoning the entire Central Earth army here requires time, ample enough for Hell Realm to make a choice!
They can choose peace or war, the choice is theirs!
Everyone completely lost their psychological burden.
War or peace wholly depends on Hell Realm’s attitude!
The Eight Prisons Asura Emperor sternly said: "You Central Earth are arrogant; all who dare enter Hell Realm will be executed without mercy!"
Jiang Fan’s eyes turned cold and sneered, saying: "You better worry about yourselves first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine Great Wine Sacrifices immediately unleashed imposing aura, and the Nine Nether Demon Venerable, Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable also sprang into action.
The Eight Prisons Asura Emperor’s expression turned grave, shouted: "I and the Dark Star Asura Emperor will hold them off, the rest retreat to Hell Realm first!"
The Seven Prisons Asura Emperor stepped forward, standing beside him, blocking the five other Asura Emperors behind.
Before they could respond, the Asura Saint Son had already torn the earth asunder, leaping into the fissure.
Before leaving, he cast a deep gaze at Jiang Fan.
How could the Great Wine Sacrifice and others let them go?
They were about to act, intending to detain these Asura Emperors, reducing their influence in future conflicts.
But, just then.
The entire land suddenly collapsed into a square area of a thousand miles, a towering black projection stretched a thousand feet, cast down from Hell Realm onto the First Layer.
Even a mere shadow exuded an imposing force that deeply frightened the Sages!
It’s the Boundary Master from Hell Realm!
The thousand-foot projection had a graceful posture with a flower atop the head; this image, who else but Other Shore Realm Master?
Her voice lost its usual languor, now filled with supreme authority and anger.
"Attacking Hell Realm, Jiang Fan, such nerve you have!"
Jiang Fan’s corner twitched; this damnable woman again!
But he wasn’t in the mood to joke—Boundary Master’s projection was no small matter.
Fortunately, a piece of colorful blessed cloud appeared above Jiang Fan’s head at some unknown time.
A shimmering silhouette appeared vaguely in the clouds, a voice as pleasing as silver bells wafted from within:
"Your Hell Realm hasn’t wanted to battle Central Earth for long?"
"This Saint fulfills your desire."
The towering projection quivered suddenly, its authoritative voice tinged with terrifying fear:
"Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation!"
"You actually revealed yourself!"
The Nine Nether Demon Venerable was filled with reverence, witnessing the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation’s appearance for the second time in his lifetime.
But wait, could it be she’s appearing for Jiang Fan again?
