The news of Lin Fan not dying didn't spread but the higher-ups of the Alliance Headquarters all knew about it.
Everyone was filled with terror.
They were anxious.
Even Star Level Energy wasn't able to wipe him out. How terrifying was he?
Wu Zhige's death was for nothing and there was no value to it at all.
Xiang Yuntian said anxiously, "Commander, what should we do now? He is already on the way and in just a short while, he will arrive."
As the highest commander of the tech division, his feelings for the Alliance were naturally real. If not, he wouldn't have lowered his head and apologized to the commander for the future of the Alliance.
Just now, when Star Level Energy exploded, he was really emotional. Lin Fan was killed by Star Level Energy and that was enough to prove that Star Level Energy was really terrifying.
But now, his heart was cold. It was so cold that he didn't even have the slightest bit of hope.
He knew that the Alliance had faced the most terrifying enemy in history.
If they couldn't find a solution, one didn't even need to think about how serious the outcome would be. The Alliance would definitely be uprooted.
It was a matter of life and death.
His brain worked really quickly and he thought of all sorts of ideas but he didn't know which one would work.
The commander sat there in a daze and his expression was one of loss.
He returned to his position and was confident in leading the Alliance to victory. He was even willing to sacrifice the strongest nine-star general Wu Zhige but who knew that this would happen?
"The Alliance has no hope for this battle." The commander wasn't willing to say these words but he had no choice. The situation was just like that and even if he wasn't willing to admit it, it was useless.
Xiang Yuntian was unwilling, "Even if we gather all the nine-star generals, we still have no chance of winning?"
"Eh, there is no chance at all. When he was able to survive the explosion, it proved that no one in the Alliance is his match." The commander said, "You were the one who researched Star Level Energy, so you should know its strength."
Maybe Lin Fan suffered heavy injuries but it was an undeniable fact that he was able to survive.
Xiang Yuntian frowned and didn't say a word.
"The only way to protect the Alliance is to ask for peace." The commander said slowly.
This was the best solution for now, but it was also the worst solution.
Asking for peace was a humiliation.
He would definitely become a sinner in the history of the Alliance.
But if they didn't, the Alliance might really fall. The key was that Hell Mountain and Ocean Emperor Island were eyeing them aggressively. When they saw that the Alliance was so weak, they would definitely do something. At that time, the Alliance would be in a tough situation.
Thus, if they succeeded, at least they would be able to protect their peak combat strength and have the strength to fight against Hell Mountain and Ocean Emperor Island.
"Sue for peace?"
Xiang Yuntian looked at the commander in shock.
He didn't expect the commander to have such an idea. Was there really no other way?
The commander said, "I know that you are unwilling and think that asking for peace is too humiliating. But you have to think about the outcome. We have already lost one of our strongest nine-star generals and we can't lose any more. Without peak combat strength, the Alliance is a pushover that others can easily squash."
"Even if I give it my all in the end and win, it will only be for the benefit of others."
The moment he found out that Lin Fan wasn't dead, all thoughts of fighting him head-on disappeared. Instead, he started to think about the future of the Alliance.
Perhaps it was humiliating to ask for peace.
But he knew that as long as there was hope, there would be a future.
Even if the Alliance had to bear decades or even centuries of humiliation, only with humiliation would there be motivation. It would allow the Alliance to enter a stage where everyone worked hard. One day, the Alliance would definitely become strong once more and pay back all the humiliation they suffered today.
Xiang Yuntian kept silent. He was really unwilling and even regretful. Why didn't he continue to study Star Level Energy to make his strength even more terrifying? If he worked harder, the situation today would be totally different.
"You are the commander and I believe in your decision. No matter what the outcome is, I will bear it with you." Xiang Yuntian said.
This was the most crucial moment for the future of the Alliance. Only by being united and helping the Alliance get through this difficult period was the most important thing.
Any schemes, any benefits, when it concerned the future of the Alliance, weren't important anymore.
"Okay, I will send someone to take over from Lin Fan." The commander said.
...
Manor.
Zhu Daoshen sat there for a long time. In the past, whenever he had time, he would play with his granddaughter. But his current situation was different from before.
"Grandfather, can you play with me on the swing?"
Just as Zhu Daoshen was in deep thought, his granddaughter pulled his sleeves.
Her mouth was still stained with blood.
To other people, those scenes were so terrifying but to Zhu Daoshen, it was nothing.
Zhu Daoshen slowly turned his head and looked at his granddaughter. He smiled.
However, this smile looked very strange.
"Good baby, I am not in the mood to play with you. The Alliance is in trouble and my few friends are all dead. It is time for me to appear."
"Grandpa wants to stay with you so much. Even if you can't be accepted by others, Grandpa will never turn his back on you, because you will always be the darling in Grandpa's heart. No matter what you become, you will always be the same."
Zhu Daoshen dotingly hugged his granddaughter and touched her head.
His emotions were revealed. He really wanted to return to the past when nothing had happened.
Unfortunately.
He couldn't go back now.
His granddaughter rested her head on Zhu Daoshen's shoulder. She sniffed and a greedy expression appeared on her face. This was the smell of an expert, one that she had never tasted before.
But just as greed appeared on her granddaughter's face, her expression suddenly changed.
Zhu Daoshen was really quick.
"Grandfather, what are you doing? I feel so bad."
Zhu Daoshen grabbed her neck and used more and more strength. His expression became more and more pained as he used more strength.
"Good baby, I know that you are in pain and I know that you are not the same as before. But no matter what, you are still my good baby. Now that I am going to die, I can't leave you here. Otherwise, no one will take care of you and that is something that I don't want to see."
Zhu Daoshen was conflicted.
He didn't want to leave any problems for the Alliance and he also didn't want his granddaughter to die in the hands of others.
Suddenly.
Several tentacles swept out from her body and she wanted to fight Zhu Daoshen to the death. This damn old man was crazy. He was sick in the head and wanted to kill her.
The Evil God that possessed the little girl was about to go crazy.
He didn't expect the old man to attack first.
Puchi!
Those tentacles were all broken.
Even the evil god was useless. The gap between him and Zhu Daoshen was just too huge.
"Don't blame grandfather." Zhu Daoshen's eyes turned red and he used more and more strength. The little brat found it harder and harder to breathe and she could die at any moment.
Bastard.
It was hard for her to have such a perfect body, so how could she die just like that?
There were even many corpses of experts for her to eat.
How did such a thing happen?
Lin Fan, just wait and see. You spoiled my plans. I will definitely take revenge for this.
If Lin Fan knew about such a situation, he would definitely scold him.
What did it have to do with him?
Who are you …
Breathing became more and more difficult.
"Grandfather, I don't want to die. I want to live. You said that you would protect me."
A teardrop landed on the back of Zhu Daoshen's hand.
Zhu Daoshen felt that the back of his hand was really cold. His hand that was grabbing his granddaughter trembled.
His face was filled with struggle and hesitation.
It was really painful.
At the same time, his breathing became more and more rushed.
It was like he was going to let go at any moment.
"Grandfather …"
Zhu Daoshen shook his head, "No, you can't do this. I can't leave a problem for the Alliance. Go, granddaughter. I will join you soon."
A low voice rang out.
"No …"
Zhu Daoshen's power destroyed the evil thing in his granddaughter's body.
His granddaughter, who was originally perfectly fine, started to rot the moment she lost the evil god's power. Half of her face was disappearing at a visible rate.
At that moment, Zhu Daoshen's body was drenched in sweat. He slowly hugged his granddaughter who was rotting in his arms.
No matter what kind of pain Zhu Daoshen suffered, he couldn't help but cry from the sadness in his heart.
He didn't blame anyone.
This was fate.
He didn't even blame Lin Fan.
The Alliance had reached such a stage. As the strongest nine-star generals, none of them had innocent lives on their hands. But because of their standpoint, they had to do that.
After a long while.
Zhu Daoshen carried his granddaughter's corpse to the courtyard and buried it under a tree. This tree was planted by the two of them when she was a year old.
He gently stroked the tree, turned back to look at the deserted manor, and then disappeared on the spot.
Evil God returned to the statue.
He could only curse.
Damn!
Lin Fan struck towards the Alliance Headquarters. He was really infuriated by the Alliance Headquarters.
They actually went so far.
To directly use Star Level Energy to blow him up, that was just too arrogant.
Luckily, he was lucky.
He was also really strong, so he was able to stabilize himself.
If he was weak, Lin Fan might have succeeded.
But what a waste.
Father's hopes of personally killing Wu Zhige were dashed.
But it was still okay.
At that moment.
A person struck from the distance.
Lin Fan smiled. The Alliance Headquarters were really bold. Things had already reached such a stage and they actually dared to send some small fries over. Were they trying to insult him?
"Sect Leader Lin, I am the Alliance Headquarters' envoy." Before the person even arrived, he said hurriedly.
He was afraid that if he was too late, he wouldn't even be able to say a single word before he was killed.
It wasn't like such a situation had never happened before.
When he learned that he was here, he panicked.
He was really afraid.
When he came again, he had already prepared his family.
He felt that he was definitely going to die this time and if he was not careful, he would be killed.
"Alliance envoy?" Lin Fan smiled, "When two sides fight, one doesn't kill envoys. I understand that. Speak, what is the matter?"
