Chapter 1731 - 1730: Edge of Crisis

After hearing this news, the Pavilion Master clearly seemed angered.

A commander with Upper Level God strength walked in from outside.

"Pavilion Master, what are your orders?"

"Pass it down: everyone goes all out, wipe out the Earth people in one sweep, kill all who resist. Remind everyone to use their Shields to block the toxin."

Hearing this,

that commander said in some surprise,

"Pavilion Master, some of our people have also been captured. What if they use that to threaten us?"

"Those who accomplish great things do not fuss over trifles. If they got caught, that only proves their incompetence." The Pavilion Master had already decided. At this moment he had to act with thunderous decisiveness, not hesitate and dither.

Yet that commander was even more shocked. The number of Divine Race members had always been extremely limited, completely incomparable to the number of Earth humans, and the Divine Race’s reproductive ability was extremely low. A sacrifice like this was simply too massive.

Unfortunately,

the Pavilion Master’s order was not something that could be defied.

Everyone had to obey his commands. The commander also felt that the Divine Race seemed to have reached a critical battle. The Pavilion Master didn’t even care about those 25 upper echelons, so how could he possibly care about these captured Divine Race?

These Divine Race were useless for success and excellent at ruining things. He hated this kind of person the most.

"Didn’t the Pavilion Master say he planned to wait a bit?"

"No need to wait."

The Pavilion Master stood up. "All of our Divine Race are about to arrive on Earth, yet the human cultivators still haven’t played their trump card. They’re letting us freely capture them—so what are they waiting for? It’s obvious their Advanced Cultivators are hiding, trying to find a chance to break through. Why not seize this opportunity and wipe them out in one go."

"Understood!"

...

The next moment, the Divine Race moved out in full force.

Only the Pavilion Master himself remained, floating in the universe, his Divine Sense shrouding the entire Earth, sensing everywhere Fang Yu might appear.

But no matter how he probed,

he could not sense the slightest trace of Fang Yu and the others, as if they had completely vanished.

He felt this was very strange.

He had now already concluded that Fang Yu and the others were in cultivation. So they must be inside some Time-Space Rift, using accelerated time to cultivate. He knew very well: the more time passed, the worse it was for him.

The time ratio conversion was extremely terrifying.

If they could raise their Cultivation to a higher Realm in a short time, the Divine Race might very well be unable to completely occupy Earth in the short term.

By then a tug-of-war would definitely form.

This was also the reason the Divine Race had ordered a full-scale assault.

He knew the faster, the better.

As he wished.

Under the conditions of the Divine Race’s comprehensive attack,

humanity was utterly unable to withstand.

Masses of cultivators were wiped out.

Humans began to retreat.

They started retreating northward.

Humanity knew they were completely unable to resist.

The power of the Divine Race was simply too terrifying.

Humans had no choice but to retreat.

At the same time,

inside the temporary command center set up by humanity,

Zhang Xu stared anxiously at the reports before him.

And at the various commanders.

"Tell me, what should we do now?"

"Boss, right now we have no way at all to withstand the Divine Race’s offensive. The Divine Race’s tactics have blocked our toxin. We’ve wasted this chance to strike with poison. It could have been a surprise attack, but now they know we have this toxin, and our deterrence has dropped sharply," a commander said.

"Have the two comrades from the Divine Race arrived?"

Here he was referring to Cui Wenwen and her father, Mr. Cui.

Not long after,

Cui Wenwen and Mr. Cui really did hurry over.

By now, the battle between humans and the Divine Race had reached a completely stalemated state.

Human cultivators were dying and being wounded in swathes.

It had already reached a white-hot stage.

"Miss Cui is here already!"

"She’s right outside!"

Zhang Xu said hurriedly.

"Quick, invite them in."

Before long, Cui Wenwen and Mr. Cui walked in together.

Seeing the room full of commanders present, they only gave a symbolic nod in greeting.

Zhang Xu said,

"Miss Cui, I believe you already know the situation. Humanity’s situation is extremely difficult right now. Our forces are being pushed back step by step. Our cultivators’ casualties are disastrous. We can no longer retreat. Otherwise we may be pushed all the way to the northernmost edge. By then, humans will enter an environment with no resources."

Every commander’s gaze focused on Cui Wenwen.

They had never imagined they would fall to this point.

The future of humanity had to be pinned on the Divine Race.

How ironic was that.

"I do indeed already know what’s happened." Cui Wenwen sat down.

Mr. Cui added, "The Divine Race has already launched a full-scale offensive. From this situation we can infer the Pavilion Master has already concluded we humans have no better options. So they will definitely use their full authority to wipe out humanity in one sweep. But humanity’s High Rank Cultivators are all currently in cultivation. So at the moment, there really isn’t any good solution."

If even Mr. Cui spoke like this,

then it was even less likely anyone else could help humanity.

Zhang Xu spoke, his face full of worry,

"Is there really no other way? Humanity’s life and death hangs on this moment!"

"You can’t imagine how terrifying the Pavilion Master is. I can only tell you this much: he’s an old monster who has lived for countless years. Not even the Divine Race knows when he first appeared. All we know is that the Pavilion Master is one of the earliest Divine Race—the original Divine Race. His strength and Cultivation have reached an extremely terrifying Realm. What’s even more frightening is that he has no emotions, no ripples in his heart, he’s someone who’s long since grown numb after seeing all the scheming in the world. The fact that they dare to make this decision proves they’ve already seen through everything and are fully prepared." Cui Wenwen said.

"Going by what you say, we might as well sit here and wait to die, just directly wait for death!" a commander said.

"That’s not what I mean. I’m stating a fact. It’s not that we have absolutely no way. Don’t we still have our final hope?"

"You mean wait for Mr. Fang to come back?"

"Exactly. Mr. Fang is our only hope. Only by waiting for his return can we salvage this situation. We have to retreat, even if we don’t want to. Even if it means being pushed into the ocean," Cui Wenwen said.

Hearing this, they were rendered speechless.

The human commanders really could not think of any better plan. This was the only option they could think of. Since Cui Wenwen had said so, then this was all they could do.

Just then,

a cultivator ran in from outside.

"It’s bad, the Divine Race army is attacking in full force. This time they’re using a direct destruction tactic. All who resist are being killed."

At the same time,

the images transmitted by the monitoring equipment showed scenes of humans being killed constantly.

It made everyone’s hearts pound with fear.

Zhang Xu decisively gave the order,

"Keep retreating!"
