At this point, Ivorykin could be said to be on full alert.
Because they still could not be sure whether that powerful Deathborn would enter Ivorykin territory.
But judging from the Deathborn’s current movements, it was highly likely that its next destination would indeed be Ivorykin.
However... whether it was Ivorykin or the White Ape race, neither of them had actually figured out one thing:
Why was the Deathborn interested in the Boundary Monolith?
Although the Boundary Monolith provided all kinds of powerful buffs,
its existence was actually more like a communication channel between each race and their god.
The relationship was somewhat like that between Wi-Fi and broadband.
Broadband provides the internet itself, while Wi-Fi simply converts that connection into a wireless signal—it acts as a relay station.
And what that Deathborn had done was equivalent to yanking out one of the Wi-Fi cables.
Aside from temporarily affecting the Boundary Monolith’s effects,
it had almost no other real impact on the entire White Ape race.
So what exactly was the purpose behind what that Deathborn had done?? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Up to now, Ivorykin’s upper echelon still had not figured out the Deathborn’s objective.
"Tell me, why would a Deathborn appear in our world? And what exactly is its goal?"
"Mr. Speaker, I’m currently in communication with the White Ape race, but so far we’ve learned nothing."
The high-ranking figures present all frowned, waiting for intelligence from the White Ape side.
Just then, a soldier suddenly hurried over and delivered a report to the supreme council.
"Lord Speaker, honorable councilors, according to the latest intelligence we’ve received, that Deathborn appears to be heading in the direction of our race."
"Based on the Grand General’s recommendation, we should at least double the manpower stationed at the border!"
"In addition, Professor Dyramv suggests that it would be best to capture the Deathborn and study the conditions of its birth, so as to build up technical groundwork for cultivating a female Deathborn."
Hearing the soldiers’ report, a grave expression appeared on the Speaker’s face.
The appearance of a Deathborn in this world was, in itself, an extremely unusual event.
Before this, Deathborn had existed only within the [Void Frontier].
So where exactly had something gone wrong?
The Speaker did not continue dwelling on that question. Instead, with a steady gaze, he looked around at the councilors seated nearby.
"As for this Deathborn matter, what are your opinions?"
At the Speaker’s question, one councilor with a military background immediately spoke up.
"Lord Speaker, I believe the existence of this Deathborn may be even more troublesome than we imagined. If we want to eliminate it, it will inevitably cost us a great deal of resources."
"So I propose that we drive the Deathborn toward human territory! Those human fools only know how to charge into battle against Deathborn regardless of life or death. They talk about defending their homeland—I simply can’t understand it!"
This councilor had once been a general stationed at the border.
But because he had suffered defeat in battle against the humans many years ago, he had lost his military position, and ever since then he had deeply hated humanity.
So this time, he proposed a plan to divert disaster elsewhere.
In truth, even now, he still had not given up on the idea of counterattacking humanity.
It was only because humanity was too strong that Ivorykin did not dare act rashly.
The Speaker tapped the conference table lightly with a finger, seemingly considering whether the plan was feasible.
A moment later, he slowly said,
"According to the intelligence we’ve gathered so far, it seems that an inheritor has also appeared among the humans. If we lure the Deathborn over there, we may have a chance to draw out humanity’s inheritor and use the opportunity to find out humanity’s current level of strength."
Most of the councilors present expressed agreement with the Speaker’s idea.
After all, Ivorykin’s finances were not especially abundant at the moment.
They did not want to waste critical funds on dealing with a Deathborn!
In fact, for Ivorykin, this was already a standard tactic.
Even in the past, they had driven powerful monsters toward the human border.
But the humans seemed never to have noticed. Instead, they had assumed that monster activity had simply entered a fluctuation period.
At that moment, one councilor dressed in a scholar’s robe offered a different opinion.
"Although we currently do not know the reason, one thing is certain: this Deathborn should possess a considerable degree of intelligence. Its target is clear—the Boundary Monolith. Therefore, I believe we should not underestimate the Deathborn, but investigate cautiously!"
In the end, the Speaker adopted the scholar’s suggestion.
Then he turned his gaze toward the clergyman at his side and asked,
"Archbishop Halin, has the great god Velani bestowed any new divine guidance?"
At that moment, nearly every councilor present turned their eyes toward Archbishop Halin, their faces filled with expectation.
Not long ago, Ivorykin had encountered a being known as Velani.
Although even now Ivorykin still could not confirm whether gods truly existed, one thing was certain:
the Velani they had encountered was not a true god.
Even so, Ivorykin still treated Velani with considerable respect.
On one hand, it was because Velani himself was immensely powerful.
On the other hand, it was because Velani’s appearance closely resembled the god Ivorykin worshipped.
As a result, Ivorykin mistakenly believed that Velani must have some sort of connection to their deity.
And in truth, Velani’s appearance had indeed represented a rare opportunity for Ivorykin.
Because Velani had voluntarily gifted Ivorykin an inheritance relic of the [Divine].
The appearance of that inheritance relic caused a stir throughout all of Ivorykin.
As a result, Ivorykin carried out a large-scale internal selection process.
In the end, a young awakener named Singh was chosen to become the inheritor of the [Divine].
Originally, Ivorykin had known nothing about inheritance relics or the Chosen Ones of the previous era.
All of that information had been told to them voluntarily by Velani.
Archbishop Halin lowered his head in thought for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Ever since Lord Velani entrusted me with certain matters, he left—and ever since then, I have not been able to contact him."
Hearing Archbishop Halin’s words, the expressions of Ivorykin’s upper echelon all turned unpleasant.
But as an orthodox clergyman, Halin himself harbored a certain degree of suspicion toward Velani’s sudden appearance.
He believed that this Velani who had appeared out of nowhere must be hiding some unspeakable purpose.
Just then, one of the councilors could not help asking,
"Archbishop Halin, what exactly did Lord Velani entrust to you? Would it be convenient for you to tell us?"
