Chapter 1811 - 1810: For the World, For Peace!

Zangtian saw hope, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, yes, I’ve renounced the dark side, Lord Qin, please take me in!"

Black Ghost, Wind Demon, and the others, seeing the situation, quickly imitated his manner, all expressing their willingness to renounce the dark side.

No choice.

Compared to humiliation, they valued life and death more.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "But, how can you prove that you’ve truly renounced the dark side? How can I trust you? Or rather, shouldn’t you earn some merits first?"

"Of course, of course, we’ll do whatever you ask us to do."

Zangtian and the others shouted.

...

Deep within the vines.

As the sun was about to set, the Forbidden Woman, Huan Hai, and the others still had not received any news from Zangtian and the others, and were becoming more and more anxious.

"Could it be that they don’t want to come out of the Desolate World?" Huan Hai suddenly brightened up and said.

"What do you mean?" the Forbidden Woman asked.

"Think about it! From our observations, the number of people entering the Desolate World each time is only about twenty to thirty thousand. They are all high-grade Immortals, dealing with twenty to thirty thousand is not difficult for them. Perhaps they have already controlled the situation inside, but facing countless alien beasts, they are reluctant to come out, trying to accelerate their cultivation inside!"

Huan Hai said.

The Forbidden Woman raised an eyebrow and said, "They dare!"

"Why wouldn’t they dare? Think about it! They are not convinced by us; in terms of strength, they’re only slightly weaker than us. So, they take advantage of staying longer in the Desolate World to boost their strength. When it’s time to share merits, their strengthened power might even lead them to compete with us!"

Huan Hai analyzed.

The Forbidden Woman, upon hearing this, felt it made some sense, thought for a moment, and said, "Stop considering, just charge into the Desolate World!"

"Alright!"

Huan Hai, having waited impatiently for a while, nodded emphatically.

Just as they were about to set off, suddenly Zangtian, Black Ghost, Wind Demon, and more than a dozen others all returned.

"You’re back?"

Huan Hai asked suspiciously.

Zangtian and the others did not reply, their eyes evasive.

The Forbidden Woman sensed something amiss and asked, "What’s going on?"

Zangtian gritted his teeth, and with Black Ghost, Wind Demon, and the others, all drew their weapons, pressing the blades against the necks of the puzzled Huan Hai and the Forbidden Woman.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Huan Hai and the Forbidden Woman were also baffled, saying, "What are you doing?!"

"We have no other choice..."

Zangtian looked uneasy and said, "Now, we are members of the Heavenly King Palace, and if you don’t join the Heavenly King Palace, we must kill you!"

"Zangtian, are you out of your mind!!"

Huan Hai shouted discontentedly, "Following someone from the Lower Realm, isn’t that embarrassing? Hurry up and get your blade off my neck!"

"We aren’t joking! Will you join the Heavenly King Palace, or do you choose to die??"

Zangtian shouted with agitation.

Huan Hai dared not move recklessly, fearing that any slight move might provoke them into action.

The Forbidden Woman then looked at Black Ghost, Wind Demon, and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"It’s like this..."

Black Ghost briefly explained their previous encounter.

Of course, with some minor modifications.

He didn’t mention being scared and pleading for mercy, but rephrased it as recognizing the tremendous potential of the Lower Realm’s Heavenly King Palace and sincerely pledging allegiance.

This sounded more dignified.

The Forbidden Woman furrowed her brow and said, "They have the alien beasts of the Desolate World, naturally possessing immense potential, so that’s why we’re contending for the Desolate World. Why must we join them?"

"..."

Black Ghost didn’t know how to explain further.

Should he say they joined out of fear?

At this moment, Wind Demon appeared exceedingly righteous and said, "It’s for everyone!"

"Oh??"

The Forbidden Woman, Huan Hai, and others were puzzled.

Wind Demon continued earnestly, "We think, what Qin Feng said before wasn’t unreasonable. The Upper Realm must think of the Lower Realm as a back garden, transferring the calamity down here. When they find out that the calamity has been diverted, they’ll surely fly into a rage and descend upon the Lower Realm for revenge."

"And although we are the Inner World, essentially, we still belong to a part of the Lower Realm. When they seek revenge, we will undoubtedly be involved.

"So, to counter the Upper Realm’s revenge in the future, our only chance of survival is to align with the Lower Realm to preserve our greatest strength."

"With the strength of our Inner World, of course, we aren’t afraid of battling with the Lower Realm, but it would only drain more of our power and result in more deaths, which is something we do not wish to see."

"Therefore, for the world, for peace, for unity, for love, we decided to take a step back and unite with the Lower Realm."

"This is our reason for joining the Heavenly King Palace!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked bewildered.

Zangtian, Black Ghost, and the others were stunned for a while. After regaining their composure, they nodded rapidly like chickens pecking rice: "Yes, yes, yes! That’s exactly what we mean! We solely joined the Heavenly King Palace for the sake of the world, for peace!!"

"..."

The Forbidden Woman, Huan Hai were at a loss.

They clearly didn’t believe it.

However, judging by the expressions of Zangtian, Black Ghost, and the others, they seemed to be serious.

"Now, we’ll say it again. Will you choose for the world, for peace, to join the Heavenly King Palace, or disregard the bigger picture and oppose the Heavenly King Palace?" Zangtian and others held their blades tightly, asking again.

"..."

The Forbidden Woman, Huan Hai were utterly speechless.

With a blade at their necks, what choice do they have?

Moreover,

even without the blade, they have no choice.

Originally, facing more than five hundred thousand cultivators from the Lower Realm and Qin Feng with the power of a Divine King and Dragon Emperor Bloodline, their two hundred thousand had no great advantage in a conflict.

Now, with Zangtian, Black Ghost, and the dozen or so from the Inner World standing on the side of the Heavenly King Palace.

Their remaining force could no longer compare with the Heavenly King Palace.

Huan Hai sighed in frustration and said, "Fine, we’ll listen to you..."

Zangtian and the others then looked at the Forbidden Woman.

The Forbidden Woman, with a pained expression, said, "Alright! We’ll join the Heavenly King Palace..."

Only then did Zangtian and the others completely relax.

With those two agreeing, persuading the remaining dozen Inner World leaders would naturally be easier.

Joining the Heavenly King Palace was pretty much a done deal!

...

Vine Dragon Mountain Camp.

Qin Feng had already learned that the Forbidden Woman, Huan Hai, and the others had all decided to join the Heavenly King Palace and summoned Qi Ling, "I’ll leave things here to you, I must leave now!"

"Don’t worry, I will certainly elevate each of them to the Immortal Realm within half a year!" Qi Ling said.

"No."

Qin Feng shook his head, looking a bit grave, "Half a year is... too long. Follow what I said before, in three months!"

"...Why?"

Qi Ling was puzzled.

"I don’t know."

Qin Feng looked up at the stars in the sky, "I have a premonition, three months from now, the Upper Realm along with the space-time tunnels here will fully open, but I don’t know how this premonition came to me, look at the sky..."

Qi Ling also looked up.

By this time the sun had set, the Bright Moon had risen, and the night sky was glittering with resplendent stars.

"Do you see it?"

Qin Feng asked.
