"I thought... we still had time."
There was a hint of pain in Wood's eyes.
Li Yin didn't say anything.
He continued to search for something on the "corpse" of the Bull Demon Bishop, which looked like broken porcelain.
These monsters...
In other words, the master of the dark magic does not intend to allow Gaia civilization to reach the second stage.
If he could use his "avatar" to control a powerful race on Gaia and gain recognition from the Human Alliance before the start of the second stage, he would be able to monopolize two civilizations.
His chance of eventually standing out and becoming the successor of the great Star God will be twice that of other civilizations.
No!
Competition among civilizations is never an absolutely fair thing.
The master of dark magic can control one Gaia civilization before the human alliance intervenes, and then he can control the second, third, and even the tenth and twentieth civilizations!
The more control he has, the greater the possibility that he will become the heir.
One step ahead! Every step ahead!
This is by no means empty talk.
"We have to speed up... Previously, we were too cautious. The damage to any of the Great Star Refiners can stop us from moving forward. If we want to regain the position of Gaia's overlord, how can there be no sacrifices?!"
Zhao Kunwu's eyes flashed with cold light: "No matter what, our Gaia race cannot fail in the first stage!"
Xiao Donghai also nodded in agreement.
If the Gaian race fails in the first stage and other monsters become the orthodox Gaians recognized by the Human Alliance and gain the support of the Human Alliance, the power of those monsters will definitely expand exponentially and it won't take long to wipe out all resistance forces.
Gaia people...
The whole clan will be exterminated!
In the face of this crisis of genocide, they must become the ultimate winner at all costs!
"stop!"
At this time, bursts of breaking air sounds were heard.
However, it was Yuan Zhenchuan who led the special joint team into the hall and rushed over.
He said to them with a smile on his face: "The monsters in the Bull Demon Temple have been defeated, and what awaits us must be a great victory! Next, we can prepare and issue an announcement that the three dangerous places on Xuanyue Island have been completely cleared, and our Human Alliance has successfully recovered Xuanyue Island!"
Hearing his words, Xiao Donghai, Wood, and Zhao Kunwu nodded.
But I still feel a little heavy.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhenchuan vaguely realized something: "What happened?"
Wood then told the story of the second Bull Demon Bishop and Li Pin's guess.
Suddenly, Yuan Zhenchuan's expression became visibly solemn.
"How is it possible... Isn't it said that with the supervision of the Terran Alliance, everyone is now in the early stages of growth, and other forces cannot attack the surrounding civilizations even if they have the ability?"
"So, they are clones... or clones created based on the monsters in our world."
Xiao Donghai sighed: "Just like in the international community, countries are not allowed to interfere in each other's internal affairs, but if they use words to persuade another force in this country to start a rebellion and succeed, can this be called interference in internal affairs?"
Yuan Zhenchuan stopped talking immediately.
The current treatment of Gaia by other civilizations is extremely similar to what Xiao Donghai described.
The master of dark magic sends his clone...
At best, it is equivalent to sending a group of technical experts to help the country develop its industry.
It is still a long way from formally intervening in internal affairs and sending troops to station there.
"Ultimately, there are too many issues within Gaia itself that have yet to be resolved."
Li Yin said calmly.
He had a broken weapon in his hand.
The Guandao left behind by Bishop Niu Mo.
Gaia internal issues...
Yuan Zhenchuan and others were powerless.
They couldn't continue the conversation, so they had to turn their attention to the Guandao in Li Yin's hand...
"This is... Dark Star Iron."
Yuan Zhenchuan identified it.
"It's Dark Star Iron, the main material for making the Battle Halberd of Fury."
Wood also nodded, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
The War Halberd of Fury is a legendary star weapon!
"It seems that the weapon in the hands of the other Bull Demon Bishop is also made of Dark Star Iron? It's a pity that it was directly blasted to pieces by the enhanced version of the legendary astrology."
Zhao Kunwu said with some regret.
"In that situation, being able to complete the beheading was already the greatest success, so there was no need to worry about anything else."
Xiao Donghai said.
Several other legends also nodded.
"I killed this monster, but you all contributed as well. I will share part of the spoils."
Li Pin said.
"I won't need my share."
Xiao Donghai said quickly: "If it weren't for Palace Master Li, I would have been in great danger just now."
He looked at Li Yin and bowed to him sincerely: "Thank you, Lord Li, for saving my life."
Li Yin waved his hand: "I believe that any one of us who is able will do our best to help."
Seeing this, Wood also smiled and said, "Palace Master Li has just joined the Human Alliance, and he needs enough contributions to exchange for the training materials in the Legendary Treasure House. My share will be a gift to congratulate Palace Master Li for joining the Human Alliance. I just hope that when the time comes to clear out the Tenth Heaven Realm, Palace Master Li can help a little more."
Zhao Kunwu also thought of something.
When Xiao Donghai encountered a crisis, Li Yin suddenly disappeared...
It doesn't seem like some special secret method.
Instead, it seems like...
Void Teleport!
However, since Li Pin was too close to Xiao Donghai at that time and could not cross a distance of more than 100 meters, there were some secret methods that could be used by legends to do this, so he was not sure whether it was the power of void teleportation.
But this does not affect him from using a little profit to sell well.
At that moment, Zhao Kunwu also laughed and said, "I still feel guilty about what happened to my disciple Cangsheng Dao, and I am waiting for an opportunity to apologize to Palace Master Li. Therefore, I absolutely cannot accept this share."
Li Pin did not argue with them.
Dark Star Iron is the main material of the Battle Halberd of Fury, but he cannot use this legendary star weapon.
It will naturally be sold to the legendary treasury in the end.
After this legendary star weapon entered the legendary treasury and obtained contribution points, he would directly allocate some to a few people.
At this moment, except for Xiao Donghai, Li Bin, Wood, Zhao Kunwu and others joined the special joint team and continued to hunt down the fleeing monsters.
The pursuit lasted for three full days!
In three days, more than four thousand Bull Demon Priests and Bull Demon Generals died at the hands of the special joint team!
The remaining warriors, generals, and warlocks number in the tens of thousands.
The seventh palace complex of the Bull Demon Temple was completely cleared out.
After clearing out the Seventh Palace Complex, there was finally no Eighth Palace Complex behind them.
From then on, the Bull Demon Temple was officially breached.
All the territory of Xuanyue Island, covering one million square kilometers, was recovered.
…
In the small fishing village on Xuanyue Island that has developed into a town, the great star masters and legends who retreated from the Bull Demon Temple relaxed for a rare moment.
The entire Xuanyue Island was liberated, which was an exciting event for the entire human race.
The relevant news had been announced when the monsters in the Bull Demon Temple were defeated.
Mainstream media outlets have been promoting this unprecedented victory extensively.
You know, Xuanyue Island is as dangerous as the Slave Valley, the Tenth Heaven Realm, the Blood Moon Canyon, and the Demon Sealed Fortress.
Since humans have the ability to clear out Xuanyue Island and wipe out all the monsters inside, this proves that they also have enough power to clear out the monsters in Slave Valley, Tenth Heaven Realm, Blood Moon Canyon, and Demon Sealing Fortress.
For a moment, everyone seemed to see the dawn of humanity's victory and regaining the throne of dominance over Gaia.
…
Compared to the joy of others, the most powerful people at the top level are not as relaxed as everyone knows.
At this time, in a newly built room on Xuanyue Island, which was filled with a lot of technological elements, all the strongest members of the special joint team were present in their true bodies.
In addition to them, there are also powerful people stationed in various dangerous places who appear in the room through projection.
In a way, this was a supreme council.
and…
Compared to the supreme meeting held after the last expanded meeting of the Human Alliance, this time there were not only twenty strongest people present, but also many of the strongest people in person, which seemed more cautious.
…
At this time, the one who was speaking was Yuan Zhenchuan.
He conveyed Li Bin's speculation in detail to the powerful ones.
All of a sudden, the expressions of all the strongest people became more solemn.
"I thought... we still had at least five or six years..."
"Spring is here first... The second phase is coming soon, and those powerful civilizations can't help but make plans in advance!"
"We must once again raise the level of our response to extraterrestrial civilizations."
The most powerful ones spoke solemnly one after another.
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense for a while before Green, the strongest man in charge of the Slave Valley, spoke up: "Dark magic is very restrained against our star power... Although this is because the other party's understanding of the use of dark magic is far superior to ours, at least our star power is really at a disadvantage against them. Once dark magic grows stronger in our world, there will definitely be no good results waiting for us."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Yin and said, "Unless all of us give up the path of Star Refiners and practice Martial Gods instead."
"If we really choose to abandon the path of Star Refiner and cultivate the Martial God... it is undoubtedly equivalent to giving up the identity of the heir of the power of the Star God. At that time, we will directly not have the second stage!"
Tutankhamun quickly retorted.
His words were also recognized by everyone.
The Star Refiner System cannot be abandoned.
What’s more…
"Even if we choose to follow the path of the God of War, it may not necessarily solve the crisis at hand."
Fan Xiu also spoke slowly: "Don't forget, when the Human Alliance comes to guide the development of major civilizations, the utilization of star power by major civilizations will surely be improved to an extremely astonishing level. Strong people above the legendary level, or even far superior to the legendary level, will emerge like mushrooms after rain. At that time, how can we, who only rely on the way of the God of War, compete with them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into a state of unreasonable depression again.
Compared to the vast universe, Gaia…
Too small.
