Chapter 862 - 862 301 Taking the Lead at the Meeting Queen Mother Shows Favor_2

862: Chapter 301: Taking the Lead at the Meeting, Queen Mother Shows Favor_2 862: Chapter 301: Taking the Lead at the Meeting, Queen Mother Shows Favor_2 This is the important mission of the Human Race’s Heavenly Court:

Establish order, protect mortals, and take over the order of the heavens and earth established by the Human Emperor.

‘It’s nothing but reaping the benefits.’

Li Ping’an sighed inwardly.

Xuanyuan Huangdi said, “Let’s begin,” and more than twenty officials from the East rapidly approached, presenting their negotiated battle strategy.

This time, the Human Race was aiming for a decisive battle, and all the battle strategies had different contingency plans to cope with various possible scenarios.

The battle between the Human Race and the Hundred Clans seemed to be finally coming to an end.

‘Could it really go this smoothly?’

Listening to each elder’s speeches, Li Ping’an tried hard to learn the art of troop deployment, and also conducted his own mental simulation.

Here, the old immortals simply stood above the Western Continent, surrounding its mountains, deserts, swamps, and lakes, conducting a simulation like that of a military flag game.

However, Li Ping’an stood amongst the greater forces of heaven and earth, analyzing the reactions of various powers.

The external forces of the Western Sect were essentially divided into three parts; firstly, the fierce demons they had gathered since ancient times, secondly, the remnants of the ancient Hundred Clans, and thirdly, the Dao Soldiers obtained from beyond the heavens.

Dao Soldiers, like walking corpses, only obey orders, including those whose hearts and minds were controlled by the spiritual conversion methods of the Western Sect, countless Loose Cultivators included.

Would the Western Sect willingly allow the great demons of ancient times, who launched the second ‘War of Extinction’ against the Human Race and whose hands were stained with the blood of countless from the Human Race, to be destroyed?

Of course not.

These great demons were also the main tools through which the Western Sect controlled the Hundred Clans and directly collected their allegiance through the spread of their doctrines.

The Western Sect would most likely dispatch the fierce demons and Dao Soldiers to the battle.

Li Ping’an could think of this, and so naturally could the seated old immortals.

They had already provided countermeasures.

The Western Sect had Dao Soldiers; the Human Race had the cultivation realm of the East Continent.

The East Continent, having accumulated strength for sixty to seventy thousand years, would be used to offset the pressure brought by the Dao Soldiers of the Western Sect.

The Dao Soldiers of the Western Sect had not been used from ancient times to the present.

According to the intelligence held by the Human Race, these Dao Soldiers were not very strong, but the trouble lay in their multitude and their fearless, relentless nature.

If they tried to drag the Immortal Soldiers of the Human Race down with them, they could still cause considerable trouble.

How exactly, they would only find out after the fighting began.

Then…

“What about the forces outside the Western Sect?”

Li Ping’an reminded:

“The biggest variable lies with Minghe, the old master of the Sea of Blood deep underground, and his Asura Clan, as well as the numerous fierce demons bred by the Sea of Blood.

“According to the information we currently have, Minghe has a quite close connection with the Western Sect.

“I’ve heard from several seniors before that Minghe attained his enlightenment through killing, has a ferocious nature, and is a fierce Primordial Being who is indifferent to life and dismissive of the Heavenly Dao, claiming that ‘he will not perish unless the Sea of Blood dries up.’

“We must be wary.”

“Regarding the matter of the Sea of Blood, we have also discussed it previously.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi said solemnly:

“As of now, just how much combat power the Asura Clan of the Sea of Blood possesses remains unknown to us.

“An ancient saying states that the Asura Clan cannot stay away from the Sea of Blood for too long, or their strength will significantly diminish, hence traces of the Asura are rarely seen in the world.

“The Demonic Qi of Chiyou originates from the Sea of Blood, but due to the obstruction of the Western Sect, we’ve had no way to deal with Minghe.

“This matter shall be left to you in the future.

“We old beings here choose to trust in the wisdom of a young man like you!”

Li Ping’an:…

Was he being ‘pitied’?

Xuanyuan Huangdi said, “Let’s continue the discussions, including the variables represented by Minghe and the Asura Clan, and prepare a comprehensive retreat plan; when necessary, ensure the preservation of our Human Race’s combat strength.”

The assembled immortals all accepted the command.

After giving the reminder, Li Ping’an continued to ponder.

The Human Race also had a place to borrow troops—the Ancient Dragon Realm.

While the Dragon Clan could not enter the world, the Jiaolong Guard and the Ocean Race were able to come and go freely.

However, borrowing troops from the Dragon Clan would inevitably lead to the Dragon Clan demanding exorbitant prices.

Li Ping’an dreaded the massive karmic obstacles accumulated by the Dragon Clan from shattering the ancient heavens and earth whenever he thought of it.

Even if he could continuously convert incense merits into the merits of the Heavenly Dao, he could not bear such great karmic obstacles.

Li Ping’an conveyed a few words to Xuanyuan Huangdi about the matter of borrowing troops from the Dragon Clan, and Xuanyuan Huangdi slowly nodded, indicating he would consider it carefully.

Clearly, Xuanyuan Huangdi also didn’t fully trust the Dragon Clan.

If the Dragon Clan could rid themselves of their karmic obstacles and no longer be repelled by the Heavenly Dao, or even if they could alleviate half of their karmic burdens, they might regain their reproductive potential…

this ancient tyrant had committed many injustices and was more likely to compete with the Human Race for the dominant luck of the world.

The Human Emperor had to be wary of this.

The discussions in the Hall of Esteemed Sages grew heated.

Li Ping’an sat quietly, tuning into each Human Race expert’s thoughts, pondering what he could do and what he should do.

In the end, he decided to be an observer.

The era belonging to the Heavenly Court had not yet arrived; the ancient battle between the Human Race led by the Human Emperor and the ancient Hundred Clans had dragged on until today.

No one knew what would happen next;

but with the decided martial spirit of the Human Race, they must march bravely forward, only returning after the battle.

…

Five days later.

Li Ping’an, dizzy and head throbbing, was sent back to his home in Dong’an City by Fenghou.

After drinking a cup of tea, Fenghou rushed off.

Li Ping’an sank into his armchair, unable to refrain from letting out several groans, slowly releasing a breath.

Almost simultaneously, three gazes fell upon him; one clear and pure, one slightly contemplative, and one slightly conflicted.
