Chapter 972: Chapter 520: Undercurrents Stirring, The Holy Court Falls

Southern Guai Realm, Yunhui Great Domain.

One oasis after another still maintains an appearance of stability and tranquility, but in the shadows, undercurrents are quietly flowing. A few dignitaries of significant status, closely related to mythological beings, have faintly heard rumors. They are retracting their industries, seeking ways to retreat.

However, those who are truly at the top, privy to the secrets, are aware—retreat? Where can one retreat to? By relocating one’s family from an ordinary large city to the King’s city, can they really be safe?

Not necessarily.

But no matter what, staying within a Nine-Level Oasis is safer than being in a Seven-Level one. For this reason, even if it means abandoning a large portion of family assets, the sacrifice is deemed necessary.

Safety comes first.

Moreover, once the disaster becomes widespread, the Seven-Level Oasis might not hold up, and the so-called family assets will be like bubbles, easily burst upon touch.

"What exactly did the old King encounter when they ventured deep into the Central Ghastly Realm?"

...

In fact, they encountered nothing.

Because the old King of the Red Sand Nation and others of the Demigod Realm, top mythological beings, had not been in the Central Ghastly Realm for long. They were just aware that the situation was very grim.

Even if the Nine-Level Oasis is retreated to, can it be successfully defended?

The old King of the Red Sand Nation said, "Judging by what we encountered that day, the Nine-Level Oasis will not hold."

Even without the attack of high-level Mysterious Evil, with dozens of Eight-Star Mysterious Evils and hundreds of Seven-Star Mysterious Evils continually assaulting, their royal capital will still be indefensible.

The power of a Nine-Level Oasis is not infinite.

Overuse leads to its withering.

If the entire Yunhui Great Domain rallied its forces to defend, it might be feasible. However, the old King knew that when the calamity broke out in full force, the Seven Nations would be too preoccupied with their own crises to lend assistance to others.

As for the Ancient Gods that each nation worships? They are even less likely to rely upon.

He gazed towards the north.

"Whether the disaster will fully unfold and spread throughout the entire Ghastly Realm, we are not certain, but... the probability that it spreads to our Yunhui Great Domain is high."

"Our Yunhui Great Domain is too close to the Central Ghastly Realm!"

Like the Shattered Sea, they were actually situated in the middle section of the Mysterious Eastern Realm, not very close to the depths.

The three ancient overlords of the Shattered Sea also experienced rises and falls, relocating from other Great Domains to the Shattered Sea before settling into the current situation.

Dominant forces like the Seven Stars Alliance can afford to wait and see, but if powers like the Red Sand Nation wait too long, it might be too late.

But if they don’t wait, what should they do?

These past few months, they have actually been doing something.

They sent some of the talented youths and mythological geniuses in their country to remote Great Domains, settling and developing oases in these peripheral areas.

This is their way of leaving a retreat.

But their millennium enterprise is ultimately in the Yunhui Great Domain; abandoning and leaving would incur immeasurable losses. If given a choice, they would certainly not want to abandon their ancestral industries.

"Does the Torch Organization have any strategies for countering the disaster?"

The old King of the Red Sand Nation asked.

Sitting at the same table with him were the Elder of Yunzhong, the Demigod of Juye, and other top beings of the Yunhui Great Domain.

"The strong members of the Torch Organization seem to have been in seclusion these days, rarely appearing, but the Torch Organization has released a message that they are willing to assist any dominant force in upgrading to a Nine-Level Oasis... and their fee is not high."

"The credibility of the Torch Organization is beyond doubt. My fellows, are you ready to advance to a Nine-Level Oasis?"

A Demigod asked.

They had been feeling somewhat exhausted recently. If relying solely on their own strength, they would likely not choose to continue cultivating an oasis. They would rather seek a way out.

But since they can hire the highly-ranked existences of the Torch Organization for assistance, then...

"Worth a try."

"After all, even if we evacuate the Yunhui Great Domain, we can’t take most of the resources with us. Better to spend them and give it an all-out effort. Who knows, maybe we can hold onto our Yunhui Great Domain?"

"Seven Nine-Level Oases are not enough, then we’ll have fourteen, twenty-one! No matter what, increasing strength is never wrong."

"However, it seems that the Torch Organization chose to stand firm in this strategy."

"Indeed, it is rumored that the Torch Organization is also preparing, creating more Nine-Level Oases... perhaps even higher levels. We have to admit, in terms of scouting and nurturing talent, they far surpass us."

Saying so, the Demigods fell silent again.

During the recent exploration mission in the Central Ghastly Realm, they heard that the Torch Organization had six or seven high-ranking existences. It seemed that the Torch nurtured a high-ranking presence much more easily than they, the Seven Nations of Yunhui, could nurture a mythological being.

The name of the number one human power is truly well-deserved.

Perhaps that instructor of the Torch has already entered that elusive Tenth Realm.

And they have not even found the path to the Ninth Realm.

They were envious.

They sighed.

"No matter how strong the Torch Organization is, to the Top Ancient Gods and the Evil God camp, they are still minuscule. And the facts have proved that the path of confronting the Evil God camp head-on is not viable. Perhaps..."

"Perhaps the path chosen by the Central Sacred Court is the right one."

Years ago, even over a decade, the Central Sacred Court began their ’seclusion’, not getting involved in any of humanity’s alliance plans to test or oppose the Evil God camp.

The Central Sacred Court has its own plans.

Plans to deal with the world-ending calamity.

They had privately condemned the Central Sacred Court in the past, but now that they think about it, perhaps the Central Sacred Court is humanity’s hope.

"But, what exactly is the plan of the Central Sacred Court?"
