There was a dead silence in the conference hall.
Everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions, with the exception of Fei Yuhan. This surprised Roland quite a bit. It seemed that without him noticing, the other party had already gained a considerable understanding of his origins and the other world.
After a long while, Rock cautiously said, "Dream World … Do you mean that it can disappear at any time like a dream?"
"No, this is just what I'm used to calling it, because I can only enter this world when I'm asleep." Roland said frankly, "At first, I also thought that it was as illusory as a dream, but everything I experienced here changed my mind. You can also call the world I'm in a dream, and treat this place as reality. I even believe that when the research of magic on both sides reaches a certain level, the connection between the two worlds will reach a new level. "
He saw Fei Yuhan's lips curl up from the corner of his eye.
Even if he didn't continue, everyone present could understand what he meant.
The barrier between the two worlds would disappear without a trace.
People would be able to freely travel between the two worlds.
"That will have to wait until it's realized." An elder frowned. "The problem now is that we do not have any means to verify the authenticity of your words. All of this is too outrageous, forgive me for not being able to believe it!"
"Mr. Roland, I have no intention of blaming you, but your understanding of this matter basically comes from the betrayal of the Oracles, who knows what schemes they are hiding behind?" Very quickly, someone else echoed, "The essence of God is the main point, but the other party is afraid of being found out by God, it's really hard to believe."
"Isn't the most important thing God's power? Why hasn't an existence that can destroy the world taken action? Perhaps our rash actions are the real reason for our destruction. "
Once someone spoke up, voices of doubt sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
"I feel that this is a dead end. According to the Oracles, if we do nothing, the world will be destroyed, but after invading God's domain, the outcome of defeat is still destruction. So here comes the problem, Mr. Roland, do you think you have any chance of defeating God? "
"It's hard to say whether these words are true or not. In my opinion, why can't it be an excuse that the hunter made up out of thin air to seek a higher status? Of course, the traditionalists are not completely innocent. "
"What did you say? Don't forget that the people who support him the most are your new generation of celebrities! "
At first, it was just a discussion, but the atmosphere gradually became tense. Roland did not interrupt. He picked up his teacup and leaned against the back of the long chair, quietly watching everyone argue with each other.
He had expected this to happen.
Honestly speaking, if he were to be told such a thing, his reaction wouldn't be any better. And the doubts that Roland raised were all on the same point. For example, how trustworthy was the betrayal of an Oracle by only giving clues without giving a direct answer, as well as what he could change after facing a God? Not to mention that I couldn't answer these questions now, even if it really came down to it, I probably wouldn't know the answer.
For this reason, he purposely hid the news that the traitor was Lan.
This way, when the higher-ups of the association argued with each other, at least they wouldn't target Garcia's master.
As for the final result, he did not have much hope.
A person like Fei Yuhan, who had a firm will and would go all out once she made a decision, was an anomaly.
The greatest purpose of this meeting was to make the Dream World aware of the approaching danger.
After finishing his tea, Roland turned his head and was about to tell Fei Yuhan that he planned to leave, but he saw her suddenly raise her right hand.
Then, a dazzling silver light blossomed from her fingertips —
"Hey …"
Before Roland could dissuade her, the light had already split the table in front of him into two!
Even the split teacup fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound.
In that instant, everyone's eyes turned to her.
"Have you forgotten the original purpose of the establishment of the Martialist Association?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but her displeasure was unmistakable.
"For thousands of years, the Awakened have gathered together to fight against the Erosion, to protect this world from being devoured by the Fallen Evils! And what is the truth now? An even stronger enemy has appeared in the Erosion, Prism City has been destroyed in an instant, the guardian of Raging Flames is dead, and the Awakened are powerless to fight against it. In the face of such a crisis, don't you find it funny that you are discussing whether the other world can be trusted? "
"Miss Fei Yuhan, don't forget your identity!" The old man's expression changed.
Rock stopped him from reprimanding further and asked in surprise, "Isn't that important?"
"That's right." Fei Yuhan said without hesitation, "I only see one point — Martial artists can't defeat the Oracles, but Roland can. Since he can't protect the world, isn't it natural to help the people who can protect this world! Please don't be mistaken, his explanation of magic power and the other world is only to satisfy your curiosity, and not to give you an excuse to doubt him! "
"In other words, even if Roland is just an ordinary person, as long as he can kill the Oracles that Martial Artists can't destroy, the Association should fully support him and place him in a position that is as important as protecting the world. This is in line with the purpose of the Association — otherwise, how can we call ourselves the protectors of this world?"
"It's precisely because God is difficult to defeat that we need the combined efforts of both worlds. Giving up in fear of the future is nothing more than a coward's way of doing things. Even if we fail in the end, we will still give it our all! "
"Perhaps some people might doubt that the argument 'Martial artists can't kill an Oracles' is not valid, and I can understand your thinking. After all, only Zero and I were present at that time. But I also welcome everyone to verify — "At this point, Fei Yuhan's entire body was covered in silver light, and even her tone lowered a few degrees." As long as you are able to injure me to that extent in a one-on-one fight, I will take back my words. How about it? "
She swept her gaze across the crowd, her gaze as sharp as a knife's edge. For a moment, none of the higher-ups who were older or held higher positions than this genius Martial Artist were able to respond.
"As expected of a leader of the new generation …" Rock suddenly laughed. He clapped his hands and said, "Indeed, I shouldn't hesitate on unnecessary matters and forget what the Association should be focusing on. "You're right. No matter where Mr. Roland comes from, his contribution to the Association is unquestionable. Whether it's as a role model for newcomers or the number of Fallen Evils he has killed, he has given the Association a boost in morale when it is rebuilding. Just based on this point, everyone shouldn't prejudge his position and speculate about him with malicious thoughts. "
The Defender looked at the two and said with a sigh, "Ever since the fall of the Prism City, I once doubted whether humans could survive the catastrophe of the Erosion. The current situation might be more serious than I expected, but at least everyone has a visible goal. As for the other world, we can slowly explore it after we resolve this crisis. What do you all think? "
"This … is considered the most suitable response."
"That's right, we should first focus on defeating the enemy of the Erosion."
"I agree."
The voices of agreement gradually suppressed the voices of doubt.
After all, eliminating the Erosion was the top priority for the Martial Artists, and to overturn this conclusion, they had to first get past Fei Yuhan.
Anyone who knew how tragic the ambush on the bridge was would know that it was not a good choice to stand out at this time.
Even if they could win, it was only in terms of sparring.
Even the old man reluctantly shut his mouth.
Fei Yuhan retracted her Force of Nature and returned to her seat. She smiled at Roland. "See, I've done what I promised you."
Roland could not help but facepalm. Her method was too reckless. Although it could temporarily unify the opinions of the people in the Prism City, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people. She could not be unaware of this, but she did not seem to care. "Why do you have to do it to such an extent?"
"Because …" Fei Yuhan looked at her bandaged hand, looking a little depressed. "I can only work harder in this area."
