Chapter 741 - 735: The Void Race’s Strategy to Break the Deadlock

Void.

The sole Void relic occupied by the Second Elder of the Void Race and others.

At this moment, the Second Elder of the Void Race was already overwhelmed with anxiety.

It had been some time since they last attacked the Void relic.

Wandering aimlessly in the void, the Void Race had nearly depleted their internal energy once again.

As expected, they were considering another attempt to replicate their previous attack on the Void relic.

In doing so, they hoped to restore their internal energy.

However, the Second Elder of the Void Race couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Logic told him that sacrificing a small portion of the clan members to gain respite for the majority was reasonable.

But emotionally, he couldn’t accept it.

Unlike the conservative Grand Elder of the Void Race who had already died in battle,

The Second Elder of the Void Race was from the radical faction.

If the clan members of the Void Race were to die honorably in battle,

even if the clan were to be exterminated, he would not complain.

But to see those who volunteered for the suicide squad just die in vain was something he couldn’t swallow.

Frustrating.

It’s really frustrating!

The Second Elder of the Void Race had pondered more than once about the frustration of living like this.

He’d rather lead the Void Race to the gates of Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha, fighting to the death in glory.

Even in death, they could at least take out some disciples of Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha.

But no matter the thoughts, as the current head of the Void Race, the Second Elder couldn’t act recklessly.

The Second Elder of the Void Race had already hastily gathered other clan members to the Void relic they occupied to regain strength.

Yet, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

Moreover, the clan members of the Void Race were completely scattered; some were too far away to even make it.

Even if they could come, the effect of a single Void relic was too negligible.

"Ah!" The Second Elder of the Void Race sighed heavily, "With no other choice, we can only attack the Void relic again!"

A nearby clan member of the Void Race spoke in a heavy tone, "Second Elder, continuing like this is like boiling a frog in warm water."

"If it goes on like this, the Void Race will face extinction sooner or later."

The Second Elder, already frustrated, grew even angrier upon hearing this. He said with irritation, "How can I not know this?"

"I know everything you’ve said."

"But if we don’t do this, what else can we do?"

"Unless you have a solution to the problem?"

The clan member of the Void Race who spoke up earlier fell silent, unable to provide a solution.

Raising the problem was one thing;

solving it was something he truly couldn’t do.

All around, the Void Race members appeared utterly despondent.

Now, the Void Race seemed to be in a hopeless state.

Like frogs in warm water, they were slowly being consumed until complete annihilation.

Just then, as the surrounding Void Race members stood there in despair,

a projection gradually appeared before them.

This person was an old acquaintance of the Void Race.

Especially those beside the Second Elder of the Void Race, they all recognized him.

This person was none other than the Yin Celestial Son.

The Yin Celestial Son had arrived.

Seeing the Yin Celestial Son, everyone was first overjoyed, then sat down in despondence.

The people of the Void Race knew—the Yin Celestial Son had sought their Second Elder more than once or twice.

Even though he had come many times, their situation hadn’t improved much.

It was universally understood, the Yin Celestial Son could not physically descend into the Void, so his assistance was very limited.

Seeing the clan members all looking bitter as if Yin Celestial Son owed them something,

The Second Elder of the Void Race waved his hand, instructing the clan members, "You all leave."

"Looking so dejected, what kind of image is that?"

The members of the Void Race left one by one, heads hanging low.

After all the clan members had departed, the Second Elder of the Void Race smiled wryly, "Lord Yin Celestial Son, you’ve seen it all."

"The clan morale is low, the spirit is scattered, the group is hard to lead."

The Yin Celestial Son sympathized with the plight of the Void Race.

To be fair, in such an oppressive environment, it’s quite a feat for the group not to fall apart.

Low morale is just low morale, what more can you ask for?

In such a bleak and perilous situation, if morale were high, that’d be strange.

"I’ve thought of a strategy to break the situation, not sure if it’s feasible."

"I came this time to discuss it with you," the Yin Celestial Son said to the Second Elder of the Void Race.

Upon hearing that the Yin Celestial Son had a strategy to break the deadlock, the Second Elder of the Void Race appeared ecstatic.

Good news, this was a monumental piece of good news!

After waiting so long, they finally awaited this good news.

To break the deadlock?

Could they really break the deadlock?

This was something the Second Elder of the Void Race dared not even dream of.

They must remember, the Void Race faced the Demon Lord, Buddha, and Wa Huang, three Tier One Experts.

The Yin Celestial Son couldn’t physically descend into the Void to help them.

Under such an unparalleled disparity in strength, could there really be a strategy to break the deadlock?

"What is this strategy to break the deadlock?"

"Please, Lord Yin Celestial Son, explain in detail. As long as there’s even a hint of hope, we of the Void Race are willing to try."

In a hopeless situation, the Second Elder of the Void Race held very low expectations.

No need for an eighty percent chance, or even fifty. As long as there’s a thirty percent chance, he would go all out.

Even with just a ten percent chance, it might still be worth trying.

After seeing the Second Elder of the Void Race’s determination, the Yin Celestial Son asked, "Are you familiar with the Returning Ruins?"

The mention of the Returning Ruins left the Second Elder of the Void Race momentarily stunned.

Over the years, the Void Race had been driven throughout the void by Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha.

Being called the nomads of the void, the footprints of the Void Race had traversed almost the entire void.

The Second Elder of the Void Race naturally knew of the Returning Ruins.

"I do!" the Second Elder of the Void Race replied. "I not only know the legend of the Returning Ruins, but I also know its exact location."

The fact that the Second Elder knew the exact location made the matter easier.

They could head straight to the destination without having to search all over.

"Take your clan and go to the Returning Ruins," the Yin Celestial Son voiced his strategy to break the deadlock.

Second Elder of the Void Race: "????"

Upon hearing the Yin Celestial Son’s strategy, the Second Elder of the Void Race was completely puzzled.

He not only disagreed with this strategy, he felt it was a path leading to certain death.

Moreover, it was a path leading to death without any value.
