Wu Shattered Star River

If the God-Demon Battlefield were a vast sheet of white paper, the paper would be covered with thousands of small red and black stones.

These red and black stones represent the strongholds of various races, which are not clearly demarcated.

Instead, they are intertwined, densely scattered across the entire sheet of white paper.

The ancestral realms of the Wild and Underworld races are in the north, one in the northeast and the other in the northwest. The Human race is in the east, the Spirit race in the west, and the Flame race's ancestral realm is in the south.

Therefore, once the two major alliances go to war, the fighting will typically ignite in the central region first. The various strongholds in the center of the God-Demon Battlefield will bear the greatest pressure.

Recently, the major strongholds in the central region have begun constructing a large number of divine formations. Countless formation stone materials are being transported there, and some small interfaces are simply destroying the passages connecting the God-Demon Battlefield to their interfaces.

Their armies have already been mobilized. If there aren't any powerful experts or armies left in the interfaces, why wouldn't they destroy the passages to prevent enemies from invading and slaughtering their realms?

Recently, Ghost God Stones have also begun to rise in price, increasing several times over.

This is because Ghost God Stones are top-grade materials for setting up formations, and the quantity is still very abundant.

Adding Ghost God Stones to those large formations can increase their power several times over. Although relying solely on divine formations isn't very useful, it's always good if they can be used to kill some enemies and assist in the great war.

The pressure on Ghost City has also become extremely high.

In two months, all the Dao Entry Realm peak experts in Ghost City entered the City Lord's mansion, but none of them could refine Ghost City.

Today, the envoy from the Wild race came again, entering the Celestial Phenomenon Mansion and having a half-hour discussion with Celestial Phenomenon King, finally leaving a few words—

The Wild race hopes that Ghost City will control the outflow of Ghost God Stones and no longer sell them to the Peace Alliance. At the same time, the Wild race is giving Ghost City three months. If Ghost City does not join the Supreme Alliance after three months, the Wild race will lead the Dao Harmonization experts of the Supreme Alliance to attack Ghost City.

How many Dao Harmonization experts does the Supreme Alliance have?

Even if we don't consider the entire alliance, if the Wild race sends out forty or fifty of its own Dao Harmonization experts at random, the Dao Harmonization experts on Ghost City's side might not be able to withstand them.

Without a City Lord, Ghost City cannot unleash its strongest power as a heaven-defying spiritual treasure. The nineteen Dao Harmonization experts using Ghost City can probably only contend with thirty Dao Harmonization experts at most.

After the Wild race envoy left, Celestial Phenomenon King summoned all the Dao Harmonization experts, even those who were in seclusion in Ghost God Mountain.

"The Wild race has issued a final ultimatum, giving us three months. After three months, they will lead the Dao Harmonization experts of the Supreme Alliance to attack Ghost City!"

Celestial Phenomenon King glanced at the group of Dao Harmonization experts and said with a solemn expression, "Let's discuss it. We must make a decision today."

"How outrageous!"

A Dao Harmonization expert from the Ant race stood up and said, "The Wild race is too domineering. Prosper if you obey me? Perish if you defy me? Do they really think they are the masters of all realms?"

"What does the Wild race mean by this?"

A Dao Harmonization expert from the Frog race said, "They are forcing us so hard, aren't they afraid that we will defect to the Peace Alliance? Can't we just maintain our neutrality? Why do they have to be enemies with us?"

"Because of Ghost God Stones!"

Sun Dongzhen directly interjected, "When the two major alliances go to war, all races will be involved, and it definitely won't end in a short time. This will be a long war of attrition."

"If either side obtains the allegiance of Ghost City, it will be able to continuously obtain Ghost God Stones, thereby increasing its chances of winning. Therefore, the Wild race will not allow us to remain neutral. They will take us down before going to war with the Peace Alliance!"

"Moreover!"

Sun Dongzhen thought for a moment and added, "I think even if we join the Peace Alliance, the Supreme Alliance will definitely attack us first after the war starts… Taking Ghost City is equivalent to cutting off their supplies!"

"Damn it, how outrageous!"

A Dao Harmonization expert from a small race angrily said, "What are the benefits of us joining the Supreme Alliance? We will definitely be used as cannon fodder. The tyranny of the Wild and Underworld races is obvious to all."

"Once the war starts, they will definitely send out their subordinate Dao Harmonization experts, and they will only take action after the Dao Harmonization experts below have fought with the Peace Alliance to a similar level."

"So… if we join the Supreme Alliance, we will eventually die anyway, so we might as well join the Peace Alliance and fight hard."

"That's not necessarily true!"

A Shura race Dao Harmonization expert said, "Huang Xiao has the hope of merging four Daos. Once he merges, he will probably slaughter Dao Harmonization experts like dogs. I think the Peace Alliance has a very low probability of winning. I suggest joining the Supreme Alliance, so that at least we have a chance to survive."

"Um…"

Another Demon race Dao Harmonization expert said, "I also suggest joining the Supreme Alliance. We can talk to Huang Xie about the conditions. For example, we can provide full support for Ghost God Stones, so that they can't easily send us out as cannon fodder."

The hall was noisy, with several Dao Harmonization experts expressing their opinions, and some Dao Harmonization experts remained silent, seemingly considering the pros and cons.

After a period of arguing, Sun Dongzhen said, "Actually, I think there are advantages and disadvantages to us joining either side. The key issue is that we don't have a City Lord in Ghost City."

"Once we have a City Lord, our strength will greatly increase. No matter which side we join, they won't dare to underestimate us, and we can also fight for enough benefits."

Sun Dongzhen pondered for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion. Let the two major alliances each send an envoy to try to refine Ghost City. Whichever side can refine it, we will join that side. This is the will of heaven. The will of heaven cannot be violated, how about it?"

A group of Dao Harmonization experts pondered, and after a while, many expressed their approval. Whichever side the City Lord comes from, they will join that side.

If a Wild race Dao Harmonization expert refines Ghost City, then this Wild race City Lord will naturally have to guarantee their interests and speak up for them, right?

Celestial Phenomenon King glanced at Sun Dongzhen, knowing his little thoughts in his heart. Sun Dongzhen seems to be very optimistic about Jiang Han? He believes that Jiang Han will definitely be able to refine Ghost City?

After Celestial Phenomenon King and the other experts expressed their views, he said, "I think Sun Dongzhen's proposal is good. Let's vote. Raise your hands if you agree with Sun Dongzhen's proposal."

Sun Dongzhen was the first to raise his hand, and soon three or four other Dao Harmonization experts raised their hands, while the rest of the Dao Harmonization experts hesitated.

Because once they agree, if they really invite envoys from the two major alliances over, and the Wild race envoy refines Ghost City, they will all have to defect to the Wild race.

They originally didn't like being constrained, they liked freedom, or they were Dao Harmonization experts who had great conflicts with their races. Now they have to defect to an alliance and be controlled by others, they naturally feel uncomfortable.

The problem is that even if they are uncomfortable, they have to make a decision, because the Wild race has already given a final ultimatum.

After waiting for a moment, more Dao Harmonization experts raised their hands, and soon the number of Dao Harmonization experts who agreed reached eight, and one more would be more than half.

Celestial Phenomenon King looked around and raised his hand.

Celestial Phenomenon King has expressed his position, so there is nothing to say. Several Dao Harmonization experts are used to obeying him, and immediately five or six more Dao Harmonization experts raised their hands.

"That's it then!"

Celestial Phenomenon King put down his hand and said, "Sun Dongzhen, you send a message to the two major alliances, asking them to send an envoy within two months to see who can refine Ghost City? Dismissed!"

"Okay!"

Sun Dongzhen nodded, got up and walked outside, immediately contacting both sides to deliver the message.

On the Supreme Alliance side, Sun Dongzhen sent a message to the Wild race.

On the Peace Alliance side, Sun Dongzhen directly sent a message to King Qin Guang, and at the same time vaguely indicated—he hoped that Yan Qin or Jiang Han would come, he felt that Yan Qin and Jiang Han had a high possibility of refining Ghost City.

If these two are not good enough, then there is not much point for other Dao Harmonization experts to come…
