Full of ambition!
Lin Feng's plan shocked all the experts in the Southern Region, including his father, Qian Lian Huang, Fang Ning, and the others. It wasn't that Lin Feng was smarter than them and knew how to seize the opportunity, but Lin Feng knew his own strength, the strength of humans, and … the importance of small Spirit Gathering Arrays.
If humans entered a stable period in a few decades, the small Spirit Gathering Arrays would have great effects, but they wouldn't be as effective as now.
But now, once they obtained the small Spirit Gathering Arrays, the strength of humans would soar in a short period of time! One had to know that humans had a 'divine weapon' that neither the Witch Race nor the Demon Race had, and that was the Astral Treasure 'Chi'. Every time a human expert advanced to the Saint level, it meant that there were several 'divine beasts' with immortal bodies. And once a Saint King expert appeared, there would be many peak Saint level beasts!
How could the increase in strength not be fast?
In a war, those below the Saint level were basically cannon fodder. The human wave tactic was indeed effective, but the ones with an overwhelming advantage were still the Saint level experts, Saint King experts, and the peak combat power! Humans were limited in talent, and their individual combat power was not strong. Only Fang Ning, Wan Mochou, and a few other experts could fight one-on-one with the Demon Race experts, but …
Humans had the 'Shield of Truth'.
Although the existence of the Heavenly Treasure had not recovered, the cultivation in the Shield of Truth allowed the human experts to learn the 'Art of Combined Attacks' and the way of cooperation. Especially the divine beasts and ferocious beasts that controlled the Astral Treasure Chi. Because they were all controlled by thoughts, their cooperation was natural and unparalleled.
In terms of combat power, the average combat power of a single human warrior was probably above that of the Demon Race or even the Witch Race!
Fight!
Lin Feng didn't say too much, nor did he persuade them. Although the experts in the Southern Region didn't know why, their morale was still high and they weren't afraid at all. They knew how to repay kindness. The implementation of the God Creation Plan not only allowed the humans to have countless new experts, but it also allowed Lin Feng's reputation to reach the peak.
He was the idol of all the new experts, Bo Le!
One sentence from him could make all the experts of the human race throw their heads and shed blood for him.
This was the charm of an emperor!
Lin Feng was now the real 'emperor'!
…
However, things in the world were often unexpected.
Previously, Lin Feng had thought that the aboriginals would lower their heads and form an alliance with the humans to fight the Demon Clan to the death. In the end, he had been given the cold shoulder, and his sincerity had gone down the drain. Now, Lin Feng had given up on forming an alliance with the aboriginals and was prepared for the worst. He had prepared for a big battle with the Demon Clan, but who knew …
Yet, the ancient race had arrived.
Furthermore, it was a visit, which was a show of sincerity.
"I trust you have been well since we last met, Brother Gu." Lin Feng smiled calmly and warmly welcomed the Ancient Gods.
Lin Feng was a guest. Regardless of whether they had shed all pretenses of cordiality that day, he would not be so stingy. Moreover, an Ancient God was an Ancient God, and the Temple Master was the Temple Master. He and Gu Sheng had a good personal relationship, so he would not reject him.
"How could I be fine?" Gu Sheng smiled bitterly. His face was pale.
Lin Feng nodded slightly. He had heard about the battle that day. Gu Sheng was quite brave, but he was still defeated by the Great Sage. Although Gu Sheng's strength was not as strong as the Witch Emperor Di Jiang, it was not far off. From what he saw, his strength should be similar to that of the Dark Great Sage. However …
According to the report, there was still a considerable difference in strength between the two. Otherwise, Gu Sheng would not have lost so badly and almost died.
Previously, he had some doubts, but today, he saw it with his own eyes.
Gu Sheng was indeed heavily injured.
"Is your father … alright?" Lin Feng asked. According to the report, the Temple Master Gu Zheng did not hesitate to sacrifice himself with the Great Sage in order to save Gu Sheng. However, he did not know the current situation.
Gu Sheng frowned, and a tinge of sadness appeared in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Not very well. My father used a forbidden technique to save me, and his vitality was greatly damaged. Although his life is not in danger, his injuries are very serious. He no longer has the ability to fight, and can't even handle the daily affairs of the Temple. I will take over for the time being."
"Is that so?" Lin Feng nodded lightly, and he immediately understood.
If Gu Zheng was still the person in charge of Deity Hall, the ancient gods would not have come to visit him. Although Gu Zheng was not an evil person, he valued the dignity and pride of the Ancient Clan very much. He would rather die in battle than drag out an ignoble existence. In the eyes of the Ancient Clan, he was indeed unyielding, and his strength was enough to become the Temple Master.
However, his disdain and contempt for humans was also deeply ingrained. To change his mind?
Impossible.
"The strength of that Demon Clan Commander … is very scary." Gu Sheng's eyes revealed a tinge of fear and undetectable fear. He said in a low voice, "Previously, I fought side by side with the Witch Emperor Di Jiang, and I know his strength. Who knew … when I met him again, his strength was more than ten times stronger than when I fought with the Witch Emperor Di Jiang!"
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. His eyes were bloodshot, and he did not hide his emotions.
Lin Feng saw it and knew what was going on.
This battle was a huge blow to Gu Sheng. Fear could be seen in his eyes. However …
Did the Dark Great Sage really become stronger?
According to Gu Sheng, the Dark Great Sage's strength was obviously above the Witch Emperor Di Jiang! Thinking of this, Lin Feng could not help but frown slightly. He took this seriously. Previously, he had also fought with the Dark Great Sage. His strength was even weaker than a Great Sage in his perfect state. For him to have such a huge breakthrough in such a short time, unless …
"Gray energy!"
"And that mysterious … him!"
Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart. He felt a tinge of fear.
Currently, the only thing he was afraid of in the Dou Ling World was the unfathomable 'evil demon' in the Demon Clan's Forbidden Grounds. He could not see through his strength at all. He did not even know if he was dead or alive. However, it was obvious that the gray energy was rampant now. He would not believe that this had nothing to do with him.
There must be a reason for this abnormality!
"Brother Lin, you must be careful when you meet him in the future." Gu Sheng looked at Lin Feng, as if he was thinking of the battle with Lin Feng. He said hesitantly, "I'm not exaggerating, but … I personally feel that Brother Lin's strength might be … slightly inferior."
After saying this, Gu Sheng smiled, "Of course, Brother Lin, I don't know how strong you really are. It's just … a feeling."
A feeling?
Lin Feng smiled.
With Gu Sheng's strength, he was close to the Witch Emperor Di Jiang. His feeling would not be wrong.
When he sparred with him that day, his strength should be slightly higher than the Witch Emperor Di Jiang. Since the Dark Great Sage could easily defeat Gu Sheng, it was obvious that his strength was also higher than the Witch Emperor Di Jiang's level. His intuition was most likely correct. The Dark Great Sage might really be … stronger than him!
However, he was stronger than the previous him.
Now, not only was his willpower stronger, his cultivation of the Pangu Technique had deepened, and even his understanding of the Seven-Inch Fist had improved. His strength had improved by leaps and bounds, but it could not be compared to back then. Especially with the Seven-Inch Fist, it could be said that he had unleashed the full power of the Pangu Technique.
Who was stronger and who was weaker was still unknown.
"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Gu." Lin Feng smiled. The Ancient Gods had already taken their seats. Lin Feng looked around. Other than Gu Sheng, Ancient God Metal Slaughter, Mother Earth, and Ancient God Verdant Wood had also come. They did not look good, but their injuries were light. It was just that they had used up a lot of energy.
"I heard that Ancient God Jing Yin and Ancient God Whale Tun were also heavily injured," Lin Feng thought.
The two of them were in charge of the Northeast and Northwest regions respectively. They must have used all their strength in the previous battle. It was already good that they were only injured and did not die. As for Ancient God Bird, he was disgusted with humans and nitpicked at Lin Feng. That day, he wanted to pick bones out of an egg.
There were only four people, and it was obvious that Gu Sheng was the leader.
When Lin Feng saw this, he understood in his heart.
Back then, he had shown enough sincerity, but the Ancient Race had ignored him. Today, it seemed that … the roles had been reversed.
"May I know why Brother Gu and the Ancient Gods have come?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
The three Ancient Gods looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes. Finally, their gazes fell on Gu Sheng. Although the latter's face was pale, his voice was firm. "To tell you the truth, Brother Lin, we have come to apologize for the previous unpleasantness. We hope that Brother Lin will let bygones be bygones. Secondly …"
"The Ancient Race hopes that we can abandon our former enmity and form an alliance with the humans. We will advance and retreat together." Gu Sheng's words were firm, neither servile nor overbearing.
There was complete silence.
Lin Feng did not speak. Shun, Qian Lian Huang, and the others also did not speak.
Everyone, including the three Ancient Gods, focused their gazes on Lin Feng. They looked at his calm face, but they could not tell what he was thinking. The atmosphere seemed to reach an impasse. The Ancient Gods' expressions became more and more unsightly, but they were mentally prepared.
After all, the way they had treated Lin Feng that day was still vivid in their minds.
Although they had shamelessly come today, they had come for their only hope. They had completely given up on the Sorcerer Race.
The humans were the last straw they could grasp.
"What does Brother Lin think?" Gu Sheng spoke once more, his voice somewhat hoarse.
Lin Feng smiled and stood up. "The alliance is an important matter that needs to be discussed. There is no need to rush. Why don't you all stay in the southern region for a while? I will seriously consider the Ancient Race's proposal. As for the alliance … the humans still need to carefully study it."
What!? The Ancient Gods' expressions immediately changed.
"This, this …" Ancient God Azure Wood's face turned red.
"Human Emperor!" The Mother Gaia grew anxious and stood up.
"Everyone, there is no need to speak any further." Lin Feng's expression was indifferent as he waved his hand to interrupt them. "Shun, I'll have to trouble you to set up a banquet for my guests. Do not neglect them."
"Yes, Emperor Lin," Shun replied.
The Ancient Gods wanted to speak again, but Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he nodded. "Then we will disturb you."
"Brother Gu is too polite," Lin Feng replied with a faint smile.
Their eyes met, and there was no need for words.
To him, having a good relationship with Gu Sheng was one thing, but when it came to the interests of the race, personal feelings had to be put aside.
The well-being of the human race came first.
