(Keep it up! Keep it up!)
However, Sandro was also thinking about how he could get to know Guan Dongyang better. He decided to go back and check on Guan Dongyang's family tree. Maybe Guan Dongyang was his distant cousin. The Jade City was close to the Maersa area, so it would be impossible for Guan Dongyang to buy the land.
The auction house was bustling, and the people of Jadeite City had personally witnessed the highest level of bidding.
In this era, wealth had become more concentrated, and the wealth in the hands of some great warlords was even more terrifying. Their desire for this crystal was bordering on greed, and no one was willing to let go. Syrus knew that if it wasn't for the hasty preparation this time, it would have definitely increased to an even more terrifying level.
He knew that as long as he could build a good relationship with Guan Dongyang, he would have plenty of opportunities. Now, he was already thinking about how to cooperate with Guan Dongyang. Judging from the information he had, Guan Dongyang wasn't a money-grubber. Otherwise, he wouldn't have led the Battle Wolf Team through so much hardship. This kind of young man had ideals and fighting spirit. Obviously, he would be able to turn money into something he needed, and he could do it in Jadeite City. However, when Syrus glanced at the City Lord, he knew that he wasn't without competitors.
Five hundred thousand!
"The Castle of Raging Fire is here!"
"This kid is in for some fun!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"It's the Kaedeians! Even the Kaedeians have joined the fray!"
Even the Kaedeians, who had never participated in human affairs, had joined the fray. What did they want the crystal for?
Syracuse was also surprised that the Kaedeians would be so aggressive. He had some connections with the Kaedeians because of the Crystal Gun. The Kaedeians needed someone to provide them with information and other services, and Syracuse had done that very well. Because of that, he had become a friend of the Kaedeians. This was the first time that the Kaedeians had done something like this. Syracuse was just informing them about the Crystal Gun.
When the price reached seven hundred thousand, all of the major factions finally gave up. The Kaedeians were determined to get the Kaedeians, but they still had to think about how much money they had. It was unwise to go against the Kaedeian royals. In the eyes of the humans, the Kaedeians were stubborn and unreasonable.
"Seven hundred thousand, going once!"
"Seven hundred thousand, going twice!"
"Seven hundred thousand, going thrice! Sold!" Syracuse slammed the gavel on the table, and his hands were shaking.
That's money!
Lun Duo felt like he was in a dream. In the past, he wanted to split Bru in half …
Ye Zi did not have any desire for money. The Sage Sect was particular about having no desires and only focusing on the Dao. However, such a large sum of money was a little unbelievable to her.
The auction came to an end amidst people's cries of infinite longing, leaving behind only endless reverie.
The Fire God Guan Dongyang's name would rise again after the auction.
Compared to Guan Dongyang's fame, the Battle Wolf Squad was nothing.
"The Kaedeians took it away. Since when did those desireless women become so hungry?"
Lie Jian said with a smile.
"Is one of their important figures injured?"
"Hehe, if they were injured, wouldn't they have gone to the Celestial Master Sect? That's not a good enough reason. There must be something going on with these women."
"Young Master is wise."
Lie Jian was much stronger than he had been five years ago, and his eyes gleamed brightly. The past five years had been a period of great improvement for him, and he was brimming with confidence and strength.
"Guan Dongyang is quite something. When I heard that he killed Nihlathak, I felt something was off. It seems like he has been hiding his true strength all this while. Interesting. How's Lie Xuan doing?"
"Lie Wushuang is back, but Lie Xuan …"
"Never mind. A man like Guan Dongyang would never stop for a woman. Lie Xuan will give him the gift. I just hope he can become stronger. Once he attracts the attention of the Zergs, he will be in big trouble." "That's it.
Lie Jian's lips curled into a cold smile. Once humans reached a certain level of strength, the Zergs would come for them. Even an Einherjar would not be able to defeat a lone Zerg without the support of an Einherjar. Over the past five years, Guan Dongyang had learned his lesson, and he hoped that Guan Dongyang would understand.
At the Kaedeian Palace.
"Your Majesty, the auction is over. The crystal will be delivered within a week."
The Kaedeian Queen nodded.
The Kaedeian Queen nodded.
"Mother, I have my reservations about spending so much money on a crystal. Are we really going to place our lives on a stranger's shoulders?"
"Heidi, we have discussed this issue before."
"Your Majesty, I know how Her Highness feels, and I feel the same way too. However, it is very difficult for a prophet to go against his prophecy. Humans have two fates, but unfortunately, we Kaedeians have no choice."
The Great Priestess said gently.
"Dear High Priest, I do not mean to be disrespectful. I know that we have to work with the humans, but the Divine Master Sect is the best partner for us right now. They can help us maintain our independence, and at the same time, they can help us fight the Zergs."
Princess Heidi was not a blind follower. She had her own ideas and judgment of the bigger picture.
"Your Highness, you are right. However, you are not thinking far enough. The nature of the war has changed. Killing the Zergs is no longer meaningful." The Great Priestess stepped forward. She and the other Kaedeians were the leaders, and the Great Priestess was the executor.
"Please enlighten me, Great Priestess," Heidi said.
"The Gemini Star has brought us two paths of evolution, but there is only one. The prophecy has pointed us in the right direction, but not us Kaedeians." The Great Priestess looked a little sad as she said this. The Kaedeians had lost their homeland, and they had no path of their own. They had given their lives to the humans in exchange for the right to live. However, the mark of their race in the universe had faded, and they could no longer receive enlightenment.
"The Gemini Star … Who else could it be other than the one in the prophecy?"
"Patroclus." The Kaedeian Queen could not believe what the Great Priestess had just said.
"… Patroclus? Isn't he the greatest traitor of the human race? Patroclus is one of the reasons why the human race is in such dire straits."
"Hehe, Your Highness, this is what makes Patroclus so powerful. If only we had a man with such foresight, we would not have been wiped out. Although I am not sure of his true intentions, I am sure that what he did saved mankind from extinction. It was an unbeatable plan that was both offensive and defensive at the same time."
The High Priest was full of praise for the Great Demon King Patroclus, the enemy of humanity.
"You …"
"Hehe, Your Highness, please don't take it to heart. It's true that Patroclus's fusion with the Zergs has destroyed the purity of his race, but from another perspective, the Zergs can never be destroyed. They have become part of the Zergs."
"But they have all become monsters!" Heidi said. She shuddered at the thought of those disgusting bugs.
"Your Highness, this is where Patroclus is smart. When humans evolved from apes, the apes would think that humans were disgusting. But what would humans think of the apes? They don't care about what the monkeys think. They will only keep them in the park to admire them, and when they are free, they will become a topic of conversation. Now, the Protoss led by Patroclus have gained the power to evolve. In many ways, they are more in line with the laws of nature. They came from humans and surpassed humans, just like millions of years ago, humans came from apes and surpassed them. "
The Kaedeian High Priest was the only Kaedeian High Priest who had the foresight to stay out of the situation.
"But, Great Priestess, this is not a natural evolution. They are just the dogs of the Zergs. They do not have the power to decide their own fate!"
"Hehe, is that so? Patroclus has conquered the Moon and the Earth, and he has devoured the two kings of the Zergs, while the Dark Lord of the Zergs can only rule Mars. I am afraid that the Zergs will not be able to satisfy Patroclus's ambition."
"High priest, are you trying to say that Patroclus's strategy has made him invincible?" A Kaedeian general asked. "You mean to say that Patroclus's strategy has made him invincible?"
"That's right. Although he became the Demon King in the mouths of the humans, history will not care about this. His betrayal and massacre were indeed painful, but at the same time, he gave the humans true hope of immortality. It's just that the humans changed their name to the God Race."
The entire palace fell silent. No one had expected such an outcome. No matter what Patroclus's original intention was, he had indeed achieved such a result. Patroclus's tyrannical dominance over the Zerg race showed that he was definitely not a puppet.
This was the thought that came to everyone's mind.
"Wouldn't it be better for the Kaedeians to surrender to Patroclus?" Heidi said discontentedly. No matter what, Patroclus had brought disaster and betrayal to the Kaedeians.
The Great Priestess sighed. "That is the choice of the human race. Humans can choose to fight or surrender to Patroclus, but we chose not to. God has only given us one choice, and that is to support the other of the two stars. He represents the other path for the human race, and if he succeeds, we Kaedeians will be able to survive. If Patroclus succeeds, the human race will survive, and we Kaedeians will no longer have any value in our lives."
The Great Priestess then remembered that the Kaedeians could not be parasitized, which meant that the Kaedeians had no value to either the Zergs or Patroclus.
Everyone finally understood what was going on. There were two paths that the human race could take. One was the Protoss led by Patroclus, and the other was the human race led by the Oracles. From the perspective of the Kaedeians, there was no right or wrong path between the two paths. Both the Protoss and the human race would be reborn from the ashes of the fire, and they would be reborn from the ashes of war.
The most frightening thing was that Patroclus's ruthless trump card had turned the Zergs into a stepping stone for the evolution of the human race.
The battle between Patroclus and the Oracle could no longer be judged by personal grudges. This was a battle that would determine the future of the human race.
It was also a battle that would determine the future of the human race. The one who survived would get everything, and the one who lost would disappear forever.
The Zergs were no longer the Kaedeians or the Zergs. The Zergs could only choose Patroclus, and the Kaedeians could only choose the Oracle.
Neither of them had a choice.
That was the most terrifying thing about the human race.
The Kaedeians finally understood why Patroclus was known as the most perfect human being. He represented the pinnacle of the human race.
This kind of terrifying ability of humans far exceeded their combat ability, it could be said to be unfathomable.
This was the reason why the human race was able to stand out among the other races in the universe: intelligence.
Which path was the right one?
Only the result would tell.
Patroclus believed that he was right, and Wang Tong believed that he was right.
When Wang Tong returned to the Kaedeians with a full load of goods, the Battle Wolf team was filled with cheers and laughter. Everyone was beaming with joy.
This was what it meant to be a human!
Humans were not only humans because of their strength. Although the Protoss had obtained more power and better conditions, was this what it meant to be an evolution?
The reason why humans could progress step by step to where they were now was not because of their physical strength, but because of their willpower. No matter what difficulties they encountered, humans could always think of a way to overcome them. The seven emotions and six desires of humans were all power, the source of wisdom and evolution.
Would the Protoss still have the willpower when they obtained the pure power of the human race?
Would they still have the unity, bravery, invincibility, and righteousness of the human race?
Even if they survived, what would they have left?
The only thing that awaited them was death.
Wang Tong was not trying to prove that he was right, but he was trying his best. Just like Guan Dongyang, Wang Tong had to give everything he had for his ideals.
In times of disaster, there would be tears and sorrow.
In times of suffering, there would be betrayal and cowardice.
The path of human evolution was filled with blood and fire.
However, the real human race would overcome all obstacles. Their courage, bravery, wisdom, and unity were the most powerful force in the universe.
Patroclus was exploring the cowardly side of the human race. They believed that giving up was not the way to survive.
Some people lived, but they died, and some died, but they lived.
Wang Tong was trying to awaken the courage in everyone's heart, so that they would be able to fight until the end.
