Lotus Garden.
"Grandfather!" Lin Feng stepped in with a smile.
His gaze landed on the slightly tired figure, and he felt a little guilty. Just from his grandfather's slightly dim eyes and tired face, he knew that the past one and a half months had not been easy. Given his grandfather's personality, since he had agreed, he would definitely do his best and use all his strength.
"Feng 'er." Feng Chao saw Lin Feng's dim eyes light up slightly. He stood up and smiled bitterly.
Lin Feng saw the instant change in his expression, and a ripple appeared in his heart.
Needless to say, this smile was a very clear answer.
In the end … he still failed?
"It's okay, grandfather." Lin Feng nodded and smiled apologetically. "It's been hard on you."
Feng Chao shook his head and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He let out a long sigh and said, "I spent nearly a month lobbying, and there is an effect. Many of the ancient clan leaders actually hate the Sorcerer Tribe, but … the real decision making power is still in the hands of the ancient gods and the temple master."
Lin Feng nodded. He understood.
The ancient clan had seven ancient regions, and each ancient region had an 'Ancient God'. They were all at the peak of the Sage King Realm, and their strength was unfathomable. They were the leaders of the ancient clan. The Temple Master was the person with the highest authority in the ancient clan. In fact, he had many conflicts with the Temple, and the deep hatred had been accumulated for a long time.
Now that Ancient God Wu Feng of the southern ancient region had died, there were only six Ancient Gods left. Including the Temple Master, there were seven people at the top of the pyramid.
His grandfather had already told him this information, and it was not a big secret.
"It failed. In other words, at least four out of the seven leaders of the ancient clan did not agree to the alliance," Lin Feng thought.
The six Ancient Gods did not know, but the Temple Master was sure that he would not agree to the alliance with the southern region. The Temple Master was a transcendent existence that maintained the order of the ancient clan. He had hunted down his parents and himself for the sake of the ancient clan's reputation. Why would he ally with a 'criminal' like him? That would be equivalent to slapping his own face.
However, since his grandfather's lobbying had lasted for one and a half months, it was obvious that he had only reached a conclusion in the end. In other words, a portion of the Ancient Gods supported the alliance.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
If the first step didn't work, perhaps … he could try the second step!
"Grandfather, what are the attitudes of the six Ancient Gods towards our proposal?" Lin Feng asked.
Feng Chao pondered for a moment before saying, "The six ancient gods are divided into three factions with different opinions. Only 'Ancient God Golden Slaughter' and 'Goddess Mother Earth', who are on good terms with our southern region, support the alliance. Two ancient gods are firmly against it, while the other two are wavering."
Only two?
Lin Feng frowned. The situation was worse than he had imagined.
Previously, he had thought that the three ancient gods were on his side and were in favor of the alliance. After all, there were still two Ancient Gods who had yet to make a decision. Even if the Master of Divine Hall rejected the alliance, the ratio would only be 2: 3. The key was still between the two Ancient Gods who were still wavering.
"As for the Temple Master, he disdains to talk to me at all." Feng Chao sighed softly.
Because of his daughter, Elegant Bamboo, he had already fallen out with Divine Hall. At that time, he had Ancient God Wu Feng's support, so he naturally wasn't afraid.
"I'll have to trouble you, grandfather." Lin Feng looked at Feng Chao's expression. He could imagine how tired his grandfather had been over the past one and a half months, especially when it came to the Master of Divine Hall. His grandfather must have given him the cold shoulder and 'disdained' to talk to him. Clearly, his grandfather had put down his pride to help him, but the result … was not what he wanted.
Waving his hand, Feng Chao sighed helplessly and looked at Lin Feng. "Feng 'er, what do you plan to do next?"
"Yes." Lin Feng said resolutely, a sharp glint in his eyes. "I wonder if grandfather can help me pull some strings. I want to talk to Ancient God Golden Slaughter and Goddess Mother Earth face to face." Lin Feng's calm voice carried a hint of stubbornness. He had long since made plans.
"Oh?" Feng Chao was startled, but he soon understood.
The older the ginger, the spicier it was. After all, he had been the chief for countless years. Feng Chao immediately understood Lin Feng's thoughts, but he shook his head. "Feng 'er, you absolutely cannot."
"Why?" Lin Feng was stunned.
Feng Chao said seriously, "Although the ancient races are divided into seven Ancient Regions, they are relatively united, far more so than the Sorcerer Race and the Monster Race. Because there are very few of them, they have always been united against a common enemy. I know what you're thinking, but if you instigate Ancient God Golden Slaughter and Goddess Mother Earth to 'betray' the ancient races, the chances are close to zero. Not only will you offend the two Ancient Gods, you will also infuriate the entire ancient race. With their pride and dignity, they abhor such instigation and betrayal. "
Pa! Lin Feng clenched his fists so hard that his veins popped out.
His grandfather knew what he was thinking. Originally, he had planned to use reason and emotion. Even if he couldn't ally with the entire ancient race, he could at least ally with the two Ancient Regions and take them as the left and right arms of the human race. But he had overlooked a fundamental problem.
The ancient races were very different from the Sorcerer Race, the Monster Race, and the human race.
They were too united.
"Grandfather is right. Feng 'er was too reckless." A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Lin Feng's forehead. Luckily, he had asked his grandfather about this. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire if he were to act rashly. He might even infuriate the ancient race. If that were to happen, there wouldn't even be a sliver of hope for an alliance.
Although they couldn't ally for the time being, it was only temporary. Once the Sorcerer Race started to lose, once the human race became stronger, and once the situation changed unexpectedly, the ancient race might change their minds. Many things weren't settled yet.
"Nothing." Feng Chao's eyes were a little lonely.
It was rare for his nephew to ask him for a favor, but the result was like this. He felt very guilty. Although he had tried his best, the final result was still two votes against five. Most of the Ancient Gods were in favor of forming an alliance with the Sorcerer Race.
"The human race rose too quickly and their foundation isn't stable yet." Feng Chao sighed. "Although the Sorcerer Race lost Sorcerer King Jiang and their vitality was greatly damaged, they still have their strength. In addition, many of the Ancient Gods have experienced the second War of the Sorcerer Race, so they still have some blind trust in the Sorcerer Race. Right now, the Sorcerer Race and the Sorcerer Race are still in a stalemate. The Sorcerer Race hasn't shown any signs of collapse, so to change their mind …"
"Difficult, very difficult."
After letting out two long sighs, Feng Chao looked at Lin Feng. Seeing that he was deep in thought, he said softly, "I'm sorry, Feng 'er." After saying that, he shook his head helplessly and walked back. His face looked old and powerless, but it was difficult for him to shake the entire situation with his meager strength.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Feng Chao stopped and turned around. "Oh right, Feng 'er, there's something I forgot to say."
"Huh?" Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
"It's not a big deal." Feng Chao laughed self-deprecatingly. "Because of the destruction of the Southern Ancient Region and the death of Ancient God Wu Feng, the ancient race lost an 'Ancient God' position. I heard that it was taken over by the son of the Master of the Divine Palace, but unfortunately, he is in seclusion. However, even if he participates in the voting, it's useless. The difference between two votes and five votes is too big. "
Lin Feng nodded lightly.
It was indeed not a big deal. Even if he added that vote, it was only three votes, so he was still two votes short.
Moreover, the one who took over the position of Ancient God was the son of the Master of the Divine Palace, so he would definitely be of the same lineage as the Master of the Divine Palace. Naturally, he would not support the alliance. Perhaps if he participated in the voting, the two Ancient Gods who had been wavering all this time would already side with the Master of the Divine Palace.
"However, the son of the Master of the Divine Palace is also a true genius."
"At such a young age, he cultivated to the peak of the Saint King Realm and was hailed by the Ancient Gods as the number one person in the ancient race in ten million years. He is comparable to you, Feng 'er." Feng Chao smiled indifferently. "That day, I also heard a little about him in the Southern Ancient Region. Although Elegant Bamboo is overflowing with talent, compared to him, the difference is like a firefly and the bright moon. Feng 'er, if you meet him in the future, you must not be careless. He was given the surname' Gu 'and the name' Sheng '."
After saying that, he shook his head and left.
Lin Feng was left alone. His eyes flashed and he could not help but widen.
Gu Sheng?
It's him!?
In his mind, the memories of the past instantly surged out like a tide. That day, when he first met Gu Sheng in the oasis, he fought with Gu Sheng using the Heavenly Treasure. His strength was indeed amazing. At such a young age, he was already able to compete with Bull Demon as an equal. How powerful was he?
"A rare genius of the ancient race in ten million years?" Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
It was fitting.
It was not unexpected that Gu Sheng could succeed as an Ancient God.
He had this ability!
What was unexpected was that he was actually the son of the Master of the Divine Palace. It was impossible to tell from his appearance at all. Obviously, he was completely different from his father. He knew that Gu Sheng was of his bloodline but did not care. He was a person who did not care about trifles. Although they were enemies, Gu Sheng's impression of him … was not bad.
Bright Moon Sees Heart. To a certain extent, he and Gu Sheng were the same kind of people.
For the sake of his goal, he could move forward firmly.
"Secluded cultivation?" Lin Feng smiled.
"I wonder how strong he is now?"
Gu Sheng thought to himself. To be honest, he wanted to compete with him.
But now …
It was not the time to think about this.
"It's going to be troublesome." Lin Feng touched his head. His heart was in chaos.
Without the Ancient Race Alliance, the Nine Great Regions of the Human Race seemed to have lost a layer of protection. They were like grass standing in the wind, in danger.
…
…
He had to rely on himself!
Since he could not think of any other way, he could only take one step at a time.
At least for now, the Sorcerer Race did not dare to attack the humans. The Demon Race had been gathering their forces and had not started to attack the Sorcerer Race. The Nine Great Regions of the Human Race naturally had a lot of buffer time. Every minute and every second was so precious. Maybe in one or two more days, the Human Race could have a few more Saint-level experts and one more Saint-level existence.
Lin Feng was also anxious. His main body was at a critical moment in the Stepping Star Mansion, but there were too many things waiting for his main body to do.
The Astral Treasure Puppet needed to be made in a hurry. The Shield of Truth also needed to be sped up. To create an Undead Spirit expert, he could not rely on external forces. He could only keep digging from himself. This was not bad. After all, his own strength was the most crucial and important thing. However, he needed enough time.
Every second counted!
However, at this moment, an unexpected person suddenly paid a visit to the Southern Region.
