West of Gengok, Kunlun Mountains.
After communicating with Lu Haoran, Tan Duanya put his phone back into his pocket.
He looked up at the space-time rift that was a few kilometers long, floating in mid-air. Hundreds of soldiers were scattered around the rift, busy setting up a sealing formation.
"Is there really hope for humanity?"
He mumbled. It seemed like he was asking himself, but it also seemed like he was asking someone else.
He had never felt so worried in his life. Gengok had been facing too many dangers recently. There was the hidden danger of Kunlun's Hell's Gate internally, the Demon God's Cave outside, and today, an unimaginably terrifying ancient god had appeared in Dragon City.
If any of these three crises were to be picked out individually, it would be a huge crisis that no country would be able to solve. Now that they were facing three crises at the same time, even though Xuan Country was one of the strongest countries in the world, it still made Tan Duanya feel a sense of despair.
The Demon God's Cave was relatively easy to deal with. Tan Duanya was already prepared to sacrifice himself to get rid of this global cancer. However, the Hell's Gate and the ancient god of Dragon City were not something he could deal with even if he sacrificed ten of himself.
The Hell's Gate was not a relic of an ancient god. It was an abyss passage that connected to another world. There were many evil creatures inside that were even stronger than the ancient gods. Even Tan Duanya, who was the idol of all the Extraordinaries in Gengok, could not enter. He was only able to explore the periphery once before his origin was injured and he had to retreat.
For now, Tan Duanya could only use the Five Color Stone he obtained from the relic of Mount Tai to seal the Hell's Gate. Once the evil creatures came out, not just Gengok, but the entire Earth would face an unprecedented crisis!
Tan Duanya did not know how long the Five Color Stone could seal the Hell's Gate. At this point, he could only take one step at a time. It would be good if he could seal the Hell's Gate for even one more day.
"Hopefully, the ancient god of Dragon City does not have the ambition to destroy the world. Otherwise, human civilization will come to an end."
Tan Duanya thought worriedly.
Ever since the day the Spiritual Qi recovered on a global scale, he had a premonition that this was a test for all mankind. If mankind could pass this test, they would enter the Mythological Era where everyone was a god. If they could not pass the test, they would walk towards the end of destruction.
…
Dragon City.
After ending the call with the Grand Secretary Of State, Lu Haoran faintly sensed that something was wrong.
With such a major event happening in Dragon City, normally, the Grand Secretary Of State would definitely rush over as soon as possible. However, he did not do so. This meant that the matter he was currently dealing with was no less important than meeting the domain master.
"It seems that something unusual has also happened in the Kunlun Mountains, causing the Grand Secretary Of State to be unable to leave for a while," Lu Haoran thought.
The Hell's Gate in the Kunlun Mountains had suddenly opened a month ago. At that time, it had caused quite a commotion in the west. The Grand Secretary Of State had personally led troops to suppress it. Lu Haoran originally thought that the Grand Secretary Of State had almost suppressed the Hell's Gate, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Haoran shook his head and did not think too much about it. The Grand Secretary Of State would deal with the matters in Kunlun. What he needed to do now was to stabilize the domain master as much as possible before the Grand Secretary Of State arrived in Dragon City. He could not let any Extraordinaire like the Dog God collide with him.
Because that person was like an unpredictable nuclear bomb. No one knew what the consequences of colliding with him would be. If it exploded, everything would be over.
…
In the Internet Cafe, Liu Haoming was holding Ali as he watched anime. He suddenly thought of something:
"I forgot to ask that uncle what his in-game ID was in Infinite Samsara. That uncle seems like a pretty good person. Next time the game opens, I can form a party with him to dungeon."
After all, the other side was the first Infinite Samsara player he had met in real life. He gave him a sense of familiarity.
Liu Haoming immediately thought about it again. He felt that the other side was around the same age as the old man. There was a generation gap between them. Even if he wanted to form a party with him to dungeon, he might not be willing. It was best not to do something so embarrassing.
"Like Fluttering Snow and Rising Sun, they should be around the same age as me in real life. Next time I enter the game, I should find them to form a party."
"… …"
It took him five hours to finish the Level 12 drama. After watching it for so long, Liu Haoming was a bit tired of it. As a result, he decided to pick up the game again and forked Bilibili.
He casually clicked on Infinite Samsara's icon. As expected, this broken game was still under maintenance!
For a moment, Liu Haoming even suspected that he would never have the chance to form a party with Fluttering Snow and the others. If the game was like this, it was definitely a sign that it was going to close down!
Although he was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do if the game didn't open. He could only open the Alliance interface and head to Summoner's Canyon to act as the Bronze Emperor.
At this moment, the clock on the wall pointed to midnight.
… …
After midnight, Demon God's Cave once again made a statement on the international forums:
"There are only two days left. I hope that Gengok will take care of himself and hand over the murderer of Dog God and the Crimson Fox Fairy. Otherwise, the city will be massacred!"
This statement wasn't long. It was only a short sentence, but the hidden threat couldn't be more obvious. It directly mentioned "massacring the city".
When the officials saw this statement, the first thing they did was to check Gengok's official status.
However, Gengok's reaction was the same as yesterday. It was as if he was a coward and didn't respond to Demon God's Cave's statement.
"Gengok's reaction is very abnormal!"
The officials of the various countries were suspicious. They could faintly smell a conspiracy.
They felt that it was understandable that Gengok would agree to Demon God's Cave's conditions or angrily denounce them. However, such a cold attitude didn't make sense. It gave people the feeling that Demon God's Cave was a clown and couldn't be bothered with them.
Little did they know that such an action would only infuriate Demon God's Cave even more. They were a malignant tumor on the international scene, but they were also a bunch of lunatics in the truest sense of the word. Many wars between countries were orchestrated by them behind the scenes. No country dared to ignore their threats. If they said they wanted to massacre the city, they would achieve their goal even if they had to resort to unscrupulous means.
"Gengok has no reason to fight to the death with Demon God's Cave."
The officials of the various countries began to analyze Gengok's actions.
"Compared to the safety of the city's citizens, handing over the Extraordinary who killed Dog God and the Crimson Fox Fairy is nothing. In that case, there's only one reason why they didn't agree to Demon God's Cave's conditions. That is …"
"They can't hand them over!"
"The Extraordinary who killed Dog God definitely has an extremely high status in Gengok. It's so high that Gengok is willing to fight to the death with Demon God's Cave to protect him!"
