My clan is super powerful

Zhang Zhi paused for a moment after hearing the man's words. He carefully examined the man, refrained from saying anything unpleasant, and instead asked him to confirm, "Are you sure?"

"Let's not even talk about whether your blood is good enough to wash away the shame we've suffered."

"Aren't you worried that after we kill you, we'll still go to the Desolate Sky Continent to attack your people?"

The man glanced at Zhang Zhi and said, "If it were my people, if it were the many races on the Desolate Sky Continent that were slaughtered because of my arrogance and self-righteousness, I would live in endless regret and self-blame even if I were alive."

"So, I might as well maximize my benefits while my life still has value."

"I also overheard the conversation between you gentlemen and Master Changtian just now."

"Your Excellency is willing to let the delegation off the hook simply because you agreed to their visit, even though they have offended you."

"Therefore, if you agree to my conditions, given how much you and your people value your reputation, you should not go back on your word."

"Furthermore, even if you gentlemen do not value your reputation, I am willing to give it a try, even if there is only the slightest possibility."

"After all, compared with the living beings on the Desolate Sky Continent, my life is actually insignificant."

After listening to this person's words, Zhang Zhi gave him a deep look and found that the person's expression was extremely firm.

Clearly, what He is saying now is exactly what He is thinking.

Zhang Zhi didn't say anything more to that person, but instead turned around and glanced at Professor Confucius.

To be honest, he actually had a lot of respect for this kind of person.

Moreover, judging from this person's words and actions, this person truly considers himself the guardian of the Desolate Sky Continent. Everything he did before, or rather, his ideal, was indeed to protect the Desolate Sky Continent and all living beings on it.

Moreover, He was willing to give everything for His ideals, including His own life.

Such a pure and ideal existence, especially one that is at the half-step God Realm, is rare to find anywhere else.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of these beings, one after another, that the Desolate Heaven Continent was able to finally defeat the extraterrestrial demons.

This is what makes them truly deserving guardians of the Desolate Sky Continent.

That's right. The fact that this Desolate Sky Continent region has existed for so long must mean it has some extraordinary features.

Professor Confucius and some other professors around him heard what that person said and all turned to look at him.

Although the two sides are currently hostile, this selfless act deserves the respect of all intelligent beings!
Professor Confucius carefully examined this half-step God Realm being once more before asking, "How shall I address you?"

"You appear to be a rather rare elemental being?"

Upon hearing Professor Confucius's words and discovering that he was actually willing to answer him, the half-step God Realm expert let out a deep breath: "I am Huo Ran, and I do indeed come from the Fire Element Clan."

"Perhaps you have been to many worlds, and many of those worlds do not have elemental creatures, which is why you feel that elemental creatures are relatively rare."

“In our Desolate Sky Continent, elemental creatures are a large race, and their numbers are not small.”

Professor Confucius nodded slightly. The Celestial Immortal had indeed mentioned the situation of the elemental race, but his words were subconsciously from the perspective of the main world.

However, now is not the time to dwell on such a trivial matter. He spoke again and asked, "You just said that you would prepare your blood to wash away the shame you have just caused us."

"Are you sure?"

Huo Ran nodded firmly and said, "I'm sure."

Professor Confucius remained noncommittal, and asked again, "Was it done willingly?"

Huo Ran replied firmly once again, "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Confucius chuckled and said, "You've got quite the shrewd plan."

“You know that after offending us, even if we don’t kill you now, after we attack the Desolate Heaven Continent, there will definitely be high-level cultivators from other races who will kill you, the culprit.”

"If you dare to reveal your identity on the Desolate Sky Continent, you definitely won't live to see the next day."

"You're going to die either way, so why not risk your life?"

"And this way, we don't have to bear the blame for being the main culprit in this battlefield conflict."

"However, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. If other intelligent beings were in your current situation, they would certainly see this point just like you."

"But there aren't many people who are as willing to go all out as you are."

"After all, if it were an ordinary coward who was afraid of death, after leaving us and returning to the Desolate Sky Continent, he would definitely change his identity and find a place where no one knew him to live in seclusion."

"I don't care how many intelligent beings on the Desolate Sky Continent will die in this battle, or how many races will become extinct as a result, as long as he himself lives."

After hearing what Professor Confucius said, Huo Ran looked up at him, pondered for a while, and then said, "Whether you believe it or not."

"Perhaps due to my limited perspective, I was initially 100% certain that you were extraterrestrial demons!"

"That's why I'm going to do everything I can to pin the title of 'extraterrestrial demon' on you."

Professor Confucius found this strange, but he also understood that Huo Ran was actually using this method to defend himself.

After examining Him for a moment, Professor Confucius spoke up: "Then tell me, why did you initially conclude that we were extraterrestrial demons?"

After hearing Professor Kong's question, Huo Ran let out a light sigh and then said, "The reason is actually very simple."

"Because the earliest news that came out was that the human race on the Desolate Sky Continent discovered a world with humans, dragons, and golden crows."

"We didn't know what the world outside the Desolate Sky Continent was like, nor did we know what kind of creatures existed in other worlds. We also didn't know that there was a race exactly like us in the world outside the Desolate Sky Continent."

"Therefore, when we learned that the human race had discovered a world with humans, dragons and golden crows, the first thing we would think of was the transformation technique that the extraterrestrial demons were best at."

"Because we believe that if the world discovered by the human race came from outside the Desolate Sky Continent, it is impossible that this world would happen to have the same human race, dragon race, and golden crow race that exist on the Desolate Sky Continent."

"Only the extraterrestrial demons who invaded the Desolate Heaven Continent back then would impersonate the races on our Desolate Heaven Continent, intending to infiltrate the Desolate Heaven Continent by transforming into one of our kind, just like when they first invaded our Desolate Heaven Continent."

"That's why I'm so convinced that you are the extraterrestrial demons!"

Professor Confucius nodded slightly after hearing Huo Ran's words, and then asked, "So do you still believe that we are the so-called extraterrestrial demons?"

Huo Ran shook his head and said, "No, after discovering that the noble family has so many beings at the Dao Integration Realm, I knew that our previous speculation was wrong."

"And it's completely wrong!"

"We subconsciously believe that many races exist only within our world, which has led to this irreversible situation." After hearing what Huo Ran said, Professor Confucius didn't say anything more, but turned to Zhang Zhi: "What do you think of this guy's explanation just now?"

"Should we agree to His proposal to wash away His humiliation against us with His blood?"

After a moment's thought, Zhang Zhi bowed slightly and said, "I will follow your instructions, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Professor Confucius chuckled and shook his head, saying, "You little rascal."

After saying this, He turned to Huoran and said, "You must harbor a lot of resentment towards us, right?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Ran lowered his head and said, "I dare not. All of this is my own fault, and I dare not resent you gentlemen."

Professor Confucius snorted coldly: "Dare not?"

"That's right. In your mind, the law of the jungle is perfectly normal."

"If you are powerful enough, you can do whatever you want."

“If my clan weren’t strong enough, for one thing, you would definitely be labeled as an extraterrestrial demon on our heads.”

After saying this, He turned to the professors beside him and asked, "Do you think we should accept Huo Ran's proposal?"

After a moment of silence, Professor Yuan Zi spoke up, saying, "Huo Ran's spirit of selflessly sacrificing himself for his clan is commendable."

“A half-step God Realm cultivator certainly cannot wash away the humiliation He has caused to my race.”

"However, if this half-step God Realm soul is extremely pure, it's not unacceptable!"

"It's just a bit of a pity!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi turned to look at Huo Ran. Professor Yuan Zi's comment about the pity wasn't that it was a pity that Huo Ran had died, but rather that it was a pity that Huo Ran wasn't human.

After careful consideration, I realized that it was indeed a pity that this person was not chosen. He was an excellent candidate in terms of strategy, vision, and potential.

After all, this is a being who is half a step away from becoming a God.

Unfortunately, His plan was thwarted by the human race, who broke the deadlock with force, leading to a stalemate.

But He was also truly remarkable.

Moreover, in a dead end, He immediately found the best solution to exchange pieces.

If he were a human, the Professor Alliance would definitely reserve a place for him.

After Professor Yuan Zi finished speaking, several other professors also expressed their agreement with Huo Ran's proposal.

One professor bluntly stated, "If Huo Ran has great talent but cannot be used by our human race, then it's best not to keep him."

Huo Ran's face twitched slightly at these words.

The other professors who were originally observing Zhang Zhi's small world with great interest also came over after hearing the commotion.

After exchanging views with the professors present, Professor Confucius approached Huo Ran again and, looking at the somewhat nervous Huo Ran, said, "You're not bad, you're qualified to use your own blood to wash away your offense against my clan."

After hearing Professor Confucius's words, Huo Ran's face turned somewhat pale, but his gaze remained very firm.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Huoran understands!"

"Huoran thanks you all for your magnanimity!"

Professor Confucius looked at Huo Ran, who seemed somewhat resigned to his fate, and said, "There's no need for such hypocritical words."

"We're trying to kill you, what's there to thank us for!"

Huo Ran gave a wry smile: "This is all Huo Ran's own fault, no one else is to blame."

Professor Confucius waved his hand, stopping Huo Ran from continuing, and slowly said to Him, "Those guys in the delegation are about to leave."

"If you have any last words, or anything you want to take back, go to the delegation and find someone you can entrust with taking it back for you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ran turned and glanced at the delegation's location. After a moment's hesitation, he bowed to Professor Confucius and said, "Huo Ran thanks you, Your Excellency!"

After saying this, he bowed to the surrounding gods before slowly turning and walking toward the delegation's location.

Zhang Zhi looked at Huo Ran's somewhat desolate figure and sighed inwardly.

Although Huo Ran was an enemy, his actions were still very respectable.

Furthermore, from this person's experience, Zhang Zhi understood even more the importance of a strong race.

This Huo Ran is a half-step God Realm being. The Elemental Clan is a well-known race on the Desolate Sky Continent, with about a dozen God Realm beings within the clan.

Even so, this being had just been pleading, hoping to exchange His life for the forgiveness of the human race for the mistakes He had made.

What that person did, while not serious, was actually quite serious.

After all, if it weren't for the powerful human race standing behind him, all living beings within this small world would probably have perished, and the small world would have become a ruin.

However, it wasn't actually that serious, because His scheme had been thwarted by the human race and hadn't caused any real harm to them.

Even if their own magical world were destroyed, it would be a trivial matter to the human race.

If the Lingbao Small World weren't his own, it probably wouldn't even be a big deal.

He may have done the most harmful thing to humanity, but it was actually his contempt for humanity.

However, this was a deliberate piece of writing by Professor Confucius to instill the idea that humans are not to be trifled with in the minds of various races on the Desolate Sky Continent.

In reality, the various professors of the human race at the main god level do not have many different views on faces.

Because many of the current God Realm beings have experienced the low point when humanity was abandoned by the multiverse, they don't place much importance on saving face.

Therefore, this Huo Ran (a person's name) has completely run into the line of fire.

However, Zhang Zhi would certainly not try to persuade Professor Confucius to let this person off the hook or anything like that.

After all, this was an event for the human race to establish its prestige on the Desolate Sky Continent. Presumably, Professor Confucius wanted to use this opportunity as a starting point for communication with the Desolate Sky Continent.

It's best if I don't interfere in this matter. (End of Chapter)
