Chapter 379 A Desperate Gamble [Updates Resumed]

A secluded corner of the cabin in the woods, a crevice in the void.

"Your Majesty, I have taken control of this plane as you instructed."

The Mother of the Zerg, a woman who looked like an ordinary human girl, wearing a white, semi-transparent gauze dress, spoke softly to the phantom of the phoenix before her.

All races need to address His Majesty as a person... but in the current multiverse, there is only one.

Ice Emperor, Ice Phoenix.

"good very good……"

Ice Phoenix was overjoyed and praised him generously, saying, "After this is accomplished, I will certainly reward you handsomely!"

“In times of crisis, we must take responsibility.”

The Mother of the Zerg whispered, seemingly unconcerned about the reward offered by the ruler of all races.

She had been on good terms with the Empress, and on several occasions by chance, she had the opportunity to hear about and witness the majesty of Emperor Jun.

From the Primordial Era to the Human Era, it has experienced the most glorious and the lowest periods of all races, and is an extremely old and established innate holy position among all races.

“Watch this place closely. If the first person is still born, then corrupt him.”

The phoenix phantom continued to instruct, "If the time has come and the child has not yet been born, then we will have no choice but to completely destroy this plane."

"Yes……"

The Mother of the Zerg bowed slightly in greeting, then said with a hint of doubt, "Even if my methods are concealed, I'm afraid they cannot hide them from that Human Emperor..."

"Will the first being truly reborn? Why not just destroy this plane altogether?"

"After the Human Emperor returned from Nirvana, I took advantage of his weakness and attacked him once..."

Ice Phoenix did not answer directly, but paused briefly before saying, "The result is... I was rejected by the plane, and even the universe."

"How can it be……"

Upon hearing this, the Mother of the Zerg's expression changed. "Your Majesty is the ruler of all races..."

Even if its power is not as great as that of the Eastern and Heavenly Emperors, it shouldn't be to the point of being ostracized!

Of course, the Zerg Mother only dared to keep the latter part of her statement to herself.

"Yes... I am the emperor, and the whole universe should congratulate me. As for a mere plane, whether I save or destroy, it will not harm the multiverse. Whether I destroy or save, it is all merit. This is what is called the 'emperor'... untouched by all laws and untouched by cause and effect."

Bingfeng's tone was tinged with regret, but also with sincerity:

"However, I did encounter rejection... rejection from the very fate of the universe."

"But since the beginning of the human era, this rejection has been increasing, and with the return of the Human Emperor after his rebirth, it has continued to increase and accelerate. When you first escaped, you may only feel that it was a change in the world, and you do not know its deeper meaning."

"However, before the Human Emperor's return... we could still occasionally witness the high saints of all races confronting the Heavenly Court. For example, Ilúvatar, because of her status, was able to intervene in the primordial world multiple times, repeatedly stopping the Heavenly Court's invasions and saving the elves from their great retreat. Now, even she, and even they, have all disappeared and gone into hiding..."

"Do you think this is just a simple coincidence?"

of course not.

The Mother of the Zerg is becoming increasingly aware of the predicament that all races are currently facing.

This is the human calendar, and the main characters in the universe are [humans].

The multiverse cannot accommodate all races, and the more prosperous humanity becomes, the more intense this rejection will be.

As long as one is associated with one of the myriad races... regardless of whether one harbors hostility towards the human race, one cannot avoid being ostracized.

The myriad races at this moment are just like the human race at that time.

However, if the human race has Gu and Jun who created the heavens, what do the myriad races have now?

The Zerg Mother continued, puzzled, "If that's the case... why did the seals on the four poles loosen, allowing us to escape?"

At first, she thought that a great change in the world, or a problem with the Human Emperor, had caused the seal to loosen, allowing all races and the innate demon gods to escape...

Ice Phoenix did indeed meet with them immediately, declaring that they would seize this opportunity to begin planning the most massive upheaval among all races in history, in order to launch a counterattack against humanity...

Even... to end the human era! This is difficult, and no saint of all races or innate demon god would consider it a simple matter.

But no matter how difficult it is, it's the best opportunity.

“A few days ago… on the way from the Heavenly Emperor to Hell, I conducted a test.”

Ice Phoenix whispered, "That rejection has greatly decreased. Although we can't be certain, the Human Emperor is definitely in trouble. Not just him, the entire human history is in trouble!"

"The turning point lies in this [Virtual God Realm]!"

His tone gradually rose, eventually even tinged with a roar.

"Could it be... that Your Majesty has made contact with the three Supreme Beings of the Void God Realm, and those three Supreme Beings happen to be non-human?" the Mother of the Zerg asked, trembling.

Whether they are human or not is unimportant. What matters is that they rebel against the Heavenly Court and are destined to rebel against the Human Calendar.

Ice Phoenix suddenly laughed heartily: "In this era, there are three great destiny: serpent, human, and light. The destiny of the serpent lies within our myriad races."

"The destiny of all races has passed; now it is the human calendar, and destiny rests with humanity. To end the human calendar, the [Destiny of Light] must be born."

"After the emergence of the Realm of the Void Gods, the multiverse sensed it, and Fuxi was no longer the only guiding light! The Heavenly Emperor became the second guiding light in this era..."

"Without a doubt, the Realm of the Void Gods represents [Light]. As long as the human era continues, Light cannot truly inherit the Mandate of Heaven, wield the guiding light, and rule the world... This is a struggle for the Mandate of Heaven!"

A battle for destiny!

Once the Human Era is over, whether it's the [Radiance Era] or the [Virtual God Era] that follows, this multiverse will no longer exclusively honor the human race.

At least, all races will no longer be rejected by the universe, and will have the right to live in peace in a corner of the world!

When the original prophecy was fulfilled, Ice Phoenix also led the remnants of all races in a desperate fight.

Because if humanity continues to prosper, they will have no way to survive! They have no choice but to fight!

Ice Phoenix has always known his own limitations. In terms of raw power, he can do nothing against any of the Three Sovereigns, Three Pure Ones, or God in the Primordial Heavenly Court.

As for military strength, the Primordial Heavenly Court had tens of thousands of orthodox cultivators, True Immortals, Golden Immortals... and hundreds of millions of Xuanhuang warships of all kinds...

Even now, if all the thousand-plus Saintly Positions and dozens of Innate Saintly Positions of the myriad races that were once suppressed were unsealed, they would still be no match for them.

These newly unsealed old relics don't know... but doesn't Ice Phoenix know?
With such a huge disparity, what can be done?

"The Void God Realm does not reject any race. I have already made contact with the Supreme Being of the Void God Realm... That Heavenly Emperor is a remarkable person."

Ice Phoenix spoke softly, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "He only wants the universe to prosper, so that he can overcome that tribulation of sublimation!"

"Right now, as long as all races and the four emperors of the Void Gods join forces to overthrow the Heavenly Court... with the arrival of the new calendar, the Void God Realm will also give all races a chance."

The Mother of the Zerg remained silent.

This plan has many flaws.

No... rather than a loophole, it's more accurate to say that I wasn't qualified to hear the details.

Why must the first humans be born in this plane?
Will the Realm of the Gods be able to keep its promises and not discard its usefulness after it has served its purpose...?

Were those three people actually humanists...?

These are questions the Mother of the Zerg shouldn't be asking.

She asked only one question: "Your Majesty, can we win?"

"...We will win. Whether or not we see the light of the new calendar, at least we will not perish, and we will leave behind a seed of hope."

Ice Phoenix responded, "This is a... desperate gamble."

Clearly, he knew that too...

The opportunities given by the Heavenly Emperor are not very generous.

But it is still an opportunity.
