Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1287 - 588: No Matter the Casualties (Part 2)

The Peony King was troubled about this.

...

Master Wang could sleep now, yet his opponents were restless, debating various strategies.

To fight or not to fight, that was the question.

On the Dark Sect's Treasure Ship.

Cang Ze sat in the main seat, leaning against the Heavenly Dao Stele, which had been shrunk to resemble a chair cushion, with his eyes closed, resting.

Among the batch of experts just sent by the Dark Sect, there were six old Golden Immortals, all of whom were loyal to the Dark Sect and had been baptized by the Heavenly Dao.

They sat in the chairs beside Cang Ze, remaining silent.

Behind the screen, Master Zhi Hui was holding a small cauldron, continuously absorbing the cloud mist emanating from it, his injuries still unstable.

Aside from these eight experts, there was only one Heavenly Dao Envoy, Hei Yao, who sat at the far end, also silently with his head down.

An old man asked in a deep voice: "Four Sect Leaders, what are they saying?"

"Hmm, let me ask the Heavenly Dao Stele... The Fire God Palace is attempting to contact the Gun God Palace, these Phoenix Clans do not want to directly start a war; the Feather God Palace and the Beast God Palace are currently discussing how to destroy the Human King Seal."

Cang Ze didn't open his eyes, speaking simply as though with foresight:

"The Night God Palace has used the Sky-covering Array, even the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot probe it.

"However, the Night God Palace's stance should align with the Feather God Palace and the Beast God Palace. The current issue is the Fire God Palace, which is strong but its stance is unclear."

Cang Ze sighed lightly, and his expression was full of worry.

Several old men spoke up:

"Four Sect Leaders, we don't have to wait on their whims!"

"Indeed, the folks from the Fire God Palace are fickle; it's better to teach them a lesson. We've brought some Poison Pills!"

"The dark pawns we've planted in various factions can actually be moved; this opportunity is rare."

"An opportunity like this is indeed rare, but we must see if we can seize it," Cang Ze said calmly. "To put it plainly, their concerns and our hesitations all boil down to the strength of the Human Race Three Immortal Palaces; if we can incite internal conflict among them, that would be truly advantageous."

"Now is not the time to talk about unrealistic things, Four Sect Leaders. The urgency is to trigger a renewed war between the human race and the hundred races; even if only a few immortal soldiers die, it's better than a complete retreat afterward."

"Four Sect Leaders, what is the function of the Human King Seal?"

"Essentially, it's just a Spiritual Treasure," Cang Ze said. "It symbolizes the highest power of the previous era of the human race."

"Can we use the Human King Seal as a catalyst to instigate a conflict among them?"

"The Human Race Three Immortal Palaces won't be so foolish; again, that's a matter for later, the priority is to ignite this fire."

Cang Ze said, "If none of you have good ideas, I will appeal to the Heavenly Dao. Hei Yao Envoy, do you have any thoughts?"

"No suitable plans for the moment," Hei Yao answered deep in thought.

They were once again silent.

Constantly pondering good strategies.

A moment later, the Heavenly Dao Stele shook gently.

Cang Ze opened his eyes, looking at Hei Yao, and said calmly, "Hei Yao Envoy, the Heavenly Dao commands you to return to headquarters and continue researching the mechanical matter; subsequent events here will be excessively dangerous."

Everyone was energized by his words, and Master Zhi Hui behind the screen listened intently.

"Understood," Hei Yao asked, "Should I depart immediately?"

"Depart right away," Cang Ze said. "We will endeavor to capture some of the mechanical bodies made by Peony for your reference."

"That would be excellent."

Hei Yao rose and bowed, then turned and left.

As soon as he left, an old man grumbled discontentedly.

"Why does Master Heavenly Dao favor this guy? He's creepy and disgusting."

Cang Ze replied, "He certainly has some talents."

"Four Sect Leaders, does Master Heavenly Dao have other orders?"

"Yes," Cang Ze leaned against the Heavenly Dao Stele, his previously pale face due to injuries now had a slight flush.

He smiled, "It's the first time I've received so many orders simultaneously; Master Heavenly Dao indeed places great importance on this Wang Jixuan. If any of you can bring his head, the position of Ninth Deputy Sect Leader is up for grabs."

The six old Golden Immortals exchanged knowing smiles.

They pretended not to hear those words.

After all, they were old foxes counting their age by the millennium; what was at play here?

"How will we proceed? We can't just go charging recklessly at them."

"Start with the Fire God Palace," Cang Ze said softly. "The cultivation technique of the Fire God Palace is flawed; it will burn themselves, and the Heavenly Dao will soon trigger internal injuries in several elders of the Fire God Palace. The pawns we've planted inside the God Slaughter Palace and Gun God Palace will take action; as long as one Golden Immortal from the Fire God Palace falls, that will be enough."

"What about us?"

"Don't fear casualties; when the Fire God Palace changes, we will immediately strike at the Immortal Island of the Gun God Palace. Ideally, drag this island to the ground; if the batch of experts brought by the six of you all perish here today, it won't matter."

Cang Ze inhaled softly:

"The battle in the Broken Cloud Desert, the more dead, the better."

...

Wang Jixuan suddenly woke up after sleeping for two hours.

He opened his eyes, still seeing the silver-grey ceiling of the command room, and nearby Mu Dan hurried over with tea.

Wang Jixuan sat up immediately, asking instinctively, "How long did I sleep?"

"Just under four hours," Mu Dan smiled. "It's calm outside; those Golden Immortal Elders haven't sought you out. You can rest a bit more; I'll call you if there's a problem."

"A top three grades Heavenly Immortal actually falling asleep."

Master Wang rubbed his forehead and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Can't wait for them to come to me; I'll go over myself, see what excitement is happening.

"Has there been any response from Professor Shen?"

"There has," Mu Dan said, puffing out her cheeks. "I must admit, she does have an astounding talent in these areas; we've solved the issue of storing Evil Qi."

Wang Jixuan was dumbfounded: "Solved it?"

"Two plans, indeed."

Wang Jixuan was puzzled: "What's going on? Two plans?"

"One involves uncontrolled propagation of human cancer cells, resembling the HeLa cell line; cultivation has already begun. Experiments show that cancer cells without soul attachments can effectively absorb Evil Qi."

Mu Dan shrugged:

"But that plan was eliminated because there's a better option.

"Super bacteria.

"According to data transmitted by Professor Shen, I've successfully found this strain which can efficiently absorb Evil Qi."

Mu Dan quickly tapped the air, leading to a projection screen displaying scenes from the Ancient Battlefield Small World.

Inside a simple experimental shed, several mechanical bodies in lab coats were arranging petri dishes neatly, some covered in light yellow bacterial film, others in light red films, or injected with Evil Qi.

Wang Jixuan was astonished to see the light red bacterial film seemingly breathing, expanding and contracting continuously, ready to leap from the petri dish.

Leap out?

Just as Wang Jixuan had this thought, a petri dish suddenly exploded, forming the bacteria into a ball, resembling a meatball, bouncing on the ground.

The mechanical bodies waiting nearby immediately picked up laser guns and fired.

The meatball exploded, releasing tendrils of red smoke into the air.

The mechanical bodies carried on with their work, alongside numerous screens scrolling various data.

Wang Jixuan looked closely and couldn't help but grin: "Not bad."

"Boss, we've begun mass-production of containment vessels, and new warheads have started production; in about forty-eight hours, we'll have initial combat capability."

Mu Dan changed her tone:

"Now, you have the qualifications to confront the Immortal Palace; we can effectively hit their basic immortal soldiers and threaten their stronghold."

Wang Jixuan smiled and shook his head: "In the Immortal Realm fighting, it's mainly decided by the experts; we'll just serve as deterrents and support. Begin arrangements, establish fire control behind the Human Race Three Immortal Palaces' array, and I'll coordinate with them, ensuring coverage of all enemies within the Broken Cloud Desert, awaiting my command."

"Yes!"

Mu Dan responded with a salute.

Wang Jixuan waved his hand and flew away, feeling refreshed.

"When will Professor Shen arrive?"

"Still seven or eight days; it's tough for experts of the Thousand Generation Alliance to enter and exit the Immortal Realm."

"Set up a lab in advance for her, with the latest equipment and opportunities to capture strange creatures from the Immortal Realm and put them in, ha ha ha ha! Talent indeed."

Wang Jixuan stepped out of the portal, his laughter abruptly ceasing.

Mu Dan made a face, then started preparing a new lab for Shen Qionglin following her boss's instructions.

[Time until the Broken Cloud Battle: 14 hours 23 minutes.]
