Chapter 868: Leading Others To Join
As Mira gathered her former subordinates, the Archons she was affiliated with in the past learned she was still alive.
Putting down everything they were doing, they quickly visited Mira, wanting to know what had happened.
“Mira, why are you in the Overlord Realm?”
“No, this trace… Did you reincarnate and start anew?”
Sensing the difference in Mira’s state, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
However, noticing Mira’s solid and perfect foundation, they soon had a guess about the reason.
Previously, although Mira possessed a Plane-level physique, she was still slightly weaker than the Overseers.
Even with the same talent, there was still a vast chasm between them, as if they were a different species.
Mira must have wanted to change this, which is why she chose to reincarnate and start anew.
Meanwhile, seeing the reactions on their faces, Mira knew they had misunderstood her reason.
In truth, she had reincarnated because she felt hopeless about the world and sought refuge.
Who knew that in her quest to find a spark of hope, she would find herself a husband?
Yet, even now, she still hadn’t found that spark.
Mira had a guess: either the spark of hope was too majestic for her to see, or it hadn’t been born yet.
If it was the former, she suspected it could only be Maximus, who was about to revolutionize the Planar Chaos Region.
If it were the latter, it could only be a generation born from the Shadowcrest family.
Either way, she had clung tightly to the family, ensuring her safety no matter what happened.
Even if they wandered through the endless void to escape, she didn’t mind the emptiness with her family by her side.
Proud of her family, Mira quickly cleared up the misunderstanding, explaining what had happened to her from the start.
“The spark of hope…”
Hearing Mira’s story, instead of underestimating her, they grew more solemn.
They knew best what Mira’s Plane-level ability, Plane Balance, could do.
It could equalize anything and tip the balance favorably to oneself.
Like two sides of the same coin, the spark of hope Mira sought should be comparable to, or even stronger than, the dark beast disaster.
A being that could lift them out of despair and give them hope. No wonder Mira chose to reincarnate against all odds.
Now, just a few million years later, she was about to return to the Archon realm, possessing the most perfect foundation ever.
“What do you plan now, Mira?”
Since Mira had returned, she must need something from them.
“I plan to invite everyone to work for the Shadowcrest family,” Mira said straightforwardly.
“Work for the Shadowcrest family? Can they handle us?”
Although they were amazed by Mira’s story, they weren’t sure if Maximus was truly the spark of hope she sought.
If Maximus wasn’t the one, wouldn’t it be a waste or even a disgrace to serve someone weaker?
“Don’t worry. My father has even cooperated with the Overseers, so he can certainly handle everyone here,” Nero said confidently.
“Your father was cooperating with the Overseers? What do you mean? What are they planning?” they asked, shocked.
Due to the thick barrier dividing the region into two, they had no idea what was happening inside.
However, for Overseers to cooperate with an Overlord, it could only mean something big was afoot.
“It’s…”
Explaining everything from the start, from the exchange of dark beast for myriad energy, the expansion of the Shadow Void Land, the sudden changes in the dark beast tide, Nero shared every detail.
Hearing this, they quickly understood why Mira had come to them.
“You want us to cooperate with those people from the inside? That’s not easy…” one Archon sighed.
If it were just them, they wouldn’t mind shouldering the burden and sharing the benefits of the myriad energy, fully believing Mira wouldn’t mislead them.
However, recruiting every Overlord and Archon in the outer Chaos Region was a different matter.
The powerhouses in this region were fiercely independent, almost stubbornly so.
Even if a rope were dangled before them, promising them ascension to glory, they’d likely see it as a trap.
Thus, even if they were told of the benefits or the dangers ahead, those stubborn Overlords and Archons wouldn’t budge.
“Don’t worry, you just need to persuade them to start. We’ll handle the rest,” Nero said with a smile, holding Mira’s hand.
It was indeed hard to convince others to climb a rope to ascension when they were ignorant of what lay at the top.
But what if they could teleport there and return instantly?
With the Omnis as a convenient transportation tool, they only needed to bait a few to start the cycle.
Sure enough, as Mira’s Archon and Overlord subordinates began canvassing for people to join, they faced heavy resistance.
However, once they convinced one to use the Omnis to see the project for themselves, the cycle began.
Arriving at the Shadow Void Land, seeing the benefits offered, and hearing about the dangers ahead, they hurriedly returned via the Omnis and eagerly persuaded others to join.
One after another, as if brainwashed, those who visited the Shadow Void Land became fervent supporters, roping everyone in.
Many were also dazzled by the different environment of the inner Chaos Regions and couldn’t help but invite their family and friends.
Soon, with everyone inviting close friends, and those friends inviting others, it spread like a virus, infecting all the Overlords in the outer Chaos Region and drawing them to the cause.
From an initial million, the numbers grew to billions, then trillions of Overlords, flocking to the Shadow Void Land in droves.
Even Tier 11 powerhouses, realizing they could help and earn substantial plane origin, joined the effort.
As for the Archons, skeptical of their one-sided claims, went to the front lines of the battlefield to see the danger for themselves.
Seeing the current state of the dark beast tide and the Overseers holding it back, they grew solemn.
If this tide broke, they would be the first to drown.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, the Archons set aside their pride, helping the Overseers and Archons from the inner Chaos Region defend the line.
Meanwhile, Archons skilled in creation and building returned to assist with the expansion of the Shadow Void Land.
Though their struggle might seem futile against the overwhelming tide of disaster, they still wanted to grasp every bit of hope they could find.
