Chapter 449 - 442: An Alternative Sovereign
"The sealing place of one of those Twelve Primordial Ancestors is on this very continent. His title is the ’Master of Desolation.’ As a nation that has already allied with the Celestial Demons—and to some extent, is even controlled by them—the Starry Sky Country has been constantly searching for a way to break the seals on these Primordial Ancestors."
"But according to the calculations of our experts, the current strength of the Primordial Ancestors’ seals is nowhere near weak enough to be broken. To undo a seal like this, they must resort to special methods."
"The source of power for the Twelve Celestial Demon Ancestors is tied to negative aspects. By strengthening a similar magnetic field, they can enhance a Primordial Ancestor’s power, helping them break through the seal’s restrictions more quickly."
"The Master of Desolation corresponds to annihilation and devastation. Therefore, to break this Primordial Ancestor’s seal ahead of schedule, they need to create the same conditions on the Black Continent."
"Therefore, their target is by no means just the Hunting Mark Organization. What they want is to use the Dark World as an entry point and individual power as the catalyst to set the entire Black Continent ablaze with war, turning this place into a desolate Purgatory."
Zhou Yuanjue said slowly.
Hearing the intelligence Zhou Yuanjue shared, the expressions on Anna and the others changed in unison. They hadn’t expected the plan of the Starry Sky Country and the Celestial Demons to be so insane. This could very well trigger turmoil throughout the entire world.
And hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s detailed explanation, Wang Heng Mountain finally understood what the disaster he had previously mentioned—one they could not possibly resist—truly was.
If what he said was true, then in the face of such a massive storm, their little Beihai Chinese Merchants Association truly stood no chance of stopping it.
Even an organization like Hunter’s Mark would likely be reduced to ashes if they tried to go against this tide.
A chill ran down his spine, and his gaze involuntarily fell upon Zhou Yuanjue’s back.
And yet this man and his companions, with bodies as insignificant as dust motes on this continent, dared to throw themselves into a tide that sent a chill through him just by thinking about it. This fearlessness, courage, and confidence made him feel a deep sense of inadequacy.
Anna and Goth fell silent, for a moment unable to determine if what Zhou Yuanjue said was an exaggeration or the absolute truth.
But in truth, based on some of the abnormal behavior from Baiyi and Desolate, and the few words they let slip when seeking cooperation before, they believed at least seventy percent of what Zhou Yuanjue said.
"So, you want to be Saviors?"
Anna asked after a moment of silence.
"No. In reality, no one would dare call themselves a Savior. We each have our own different ideals and personalities."
"Our initial motivations are all for ourselves—to satisfy our own beliefs, to chase our own ideals, out of a sense of responsibility, or a sense of duty. No one is born selfless. We are human, not Divine Buddhas. It’s just that on the path of pursuing our individual desires, there is one belief we happen to share. For that, we can cast aside our prejudices and differences to come together."
Zhou Yuanjue said.
"What belief?"
Anna asked.
"Regardless of our origins, experiences, or personalities, we all firmly believe that with humanity’s own power, we can break through any and all shackles and obstacles."
"If a God stands in our way, we slay the God; if a buddha stands in our way, we slay the buddha. We rely on no external forces, growing from weak to strong, reaching for the infinite from our finite state. The spirit of the Martial Dao is the very belief that unites us on this path."
Zhou Yuanjue said, his expression calm.
Hearing this, Anna and Goth’s pupils contracted slightly. They couldn’t help but recall that Dela had once said something similar.
"What’s so great about a Celestial Demon? Forget a mere Demon—even if a True God dared to appear before me, I would still trample him under my feet!"
The two of them were the same kind of people.
"It’s the same for you and me. Although we have different experiences, different ideals, and even belong to different worlds, judging from your leader’s reputation and actions, we are aligned in this regard. This gives us a foundation for cooperation."
Zhou Yuanjue said.
"What you’re saying makes sense. So, what kind of cooperation are you looking for?"
Anna said after a moment of silence. She had to admit, Zhou Yuanjue had persuaded her. He hadn’t used the Hunting Mark Organization’s current situation against her, nor had he made any threats. Instead, he approached it from a different angle, not with arrogance, but with a calm and composed demeanor.
This was the biggest difference between Donghua Country and the Starry Sky Country.
"You could call it cooperation, but it would be more accurate to call it a joint battle. We’ve come from far away and have no established foundation on the Black Continent. What we need is support in terms of intelligence, information, and the like. For example, my companions, who should already be scattered across the Black Continent, could probably start taking action immediately to strike at Baiyi’s and Desolate’s forces if they had your intelligence support."
"And with your intelligence support, we could also prevent them from falling into dangerous situations or running into unnecessary trouble due to a lack of information."
Zhou Yuanjue said.
"You mean, we provide the intelligence, and you lead the charge?"
Anna said, her expression one of disbelief. She had never heard of such a request for cooperation.
"That’s right. We never hide behind others. Besides, for us, this is also an opportunity for transformation."
"Perhaps this place will become a Purgatory, but within that Purgatory, we will find our chance to advance. On the brink of life and death, we will activate our potential and master our instincts."
Zhou Yuanjue said with a nod.
"I understand."
At that moment, she completely understood what kind of people she was facing.
"However, I hope to personally verify what you’ve said."
"Our leader was once very interested in you. I also want to see for myself if your heart is as true as your words."
Anna said lightly.
HUMMM!!
A magnetic field, a wave of energy, spread out from her body. A small red mark appeared between her eyebrows.
In an instant, a faint red magnetic field enveloped everyone present.
Under the influence of this magnetic field, the look in Wang Heng Mountain’s eyes changed. He looked at Anna and suddenly felt that the woman’s already incredibly alluring appearance and body had become even more bewitching.
Her every move seemed to possess a dreamlike magic, pulling at everything around her.
It made one yearn for her, want to get closer, want to devote oneself to her.
"The human heart is always flawed. Somewhere, buried deep within, in a place even you don’t know exists, that tiny weakness can be dominated by another."
Anna said lightly.
As Dela’s adopted daughter, who had received his true teachings and had always secretly admired him, Anna had comprehended an ability similar to his.
Dela’s domineering power allowed him to be sovereign over the laws of the world and nature itself. She couldn’t achieve that level, but what she could do was dominate her opponent’s mind.
By using a special magnetic field to exploit the weaknesses in her opponent’s heart, she could break through their mental defenses, trap them in endless illusions, and even dominate their very psyche.
’She wanted to see what Zhou Yuanjue’s heart was truly like.’
"Men conquer the world, and women conquer men."
"Weak women treat that saying as scripture, while strong women sneer at it."
"I’ve heard that Dela’s domineering power can act as sovereign over all things in this world. If that’s all it is, then it’s quite disappointing."
Under the influence of the magnetic field, Zhou Yuanjue spoke, his expression unchanging.
