Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 336 - 299: The Second Ranking Settlement!

Chapter 336: Chapter 299: The Second Ranking Settlement!

But even though he could see the end, he had no way out.

The Human Emperor would never allow someone who had defied his authority like him to continue existing without punishment, needing his blood and life to suppress the entire Great Wilderness Civilization and build his supreme authority, facilitating the rule over the newly added vast powers.

He couldn’t even see a glimmer of hope for himself.

At this moment, he clearly realized that he had underestimated Civilization Trial after all.

But it was too late.

“Your Majesty.” A figure appeared beside Ji Zhan with a respectful demeanor, “Demon King Ebat has personally come.”

...

This was Ji Zhan’s loyal follower, whose fate had long been bound to his.

After a slight pause, the subordinate continued with some hesitation, “Demon King Ebat has sent a message, saying he brings hope for Your Majesty.”

Ji Zhan, who had been still and silent as if he had heard nothing, finally showed some change in his expression.

He turned his head to look at his subordinate.

Bring him hope?

In the current desperate situation, Demon King Ebat was better off than he was, but only by a marginal difference.

After all, although Ebat Civilization was not accepted by the Human Emperor, hence without internal dissent, united as one, the situation of Ebat Civilization was even worse than theirs.

All the Affiliated Civilizations were nearly destroyed, and although the native civilization was strong, the numbers were few.

Even if the Human Emperor did nothing to them, merely ignored them, it would be very difficult for them to survive in this Trial.

However—

Ji Zhan’s heart, which had initially been dead, finally began to surge with some hope again.

“Summon him!” he voiced.

A moment later, a figure hidden within the shadows appeared before Ji Zhan.

It was the first time Ji Zhan had seen the master of Ebat Civilization.

The current rulers of Ebat Civilization are the Demon Race, a very brutal species, devoid of much emotion, who believe in the survival of the fittest and show no mercy to the weak, even to their own, which is why their numbers are barely over a hundred million.

But for that reason, every Ebat Demon who survives to adulthood is an extremely powerful being.

And as a ruler, the Demon King naturally is.

Thus, Ji Zhan could be sure that this person was indeed the Demon King Ebat, because he felt an unmistakable sense of threat, something he had few chances of overcoming even before the collapse of his undefeatable will, let alone now.

But unexpectedly, Demon King Ebat did not possess the typical tall and sturdy build of the Ebat Demons.

Instead, he looked quite frail.

His entire form was shrouded in shadows, his features indiscernible.

“Where is the hope?” Ji Zhan asked bluntly, seeking what he cared about most.

“The Human Emperor is not invincible,” said Demon King Ebat, his voice laced with a hint of mockery, “He considers himself just, looking down on my Ebat Demons, but in any world, in any universe, only power is the foundation of everything; a simple truth we knew tens of thousands of years ago.”

Ji Zhan ignored the meaningless words, focusing instead on Demon King Ebat’s first statement.

The eyes that had lacked any color began to fill with a trace of it.

Yes, the Human Emperor was not invincible, however powerful he might be, he was also just one undergoing the Trial.

In this universe, it was always the Ancient Gods who were the most powerful!

It was an Ancient God who defeated him, not the Human Emperor!

Therefore, what Demon King Ebat referred to as hope was already crystal clear.

“You are able to seek the help of an Ancient God’s power? To be under the protection of an Ancient God?” Ji Zhan even stood up from his throne, staring intently at the person before him, finally making out what was said, “I understand, it’s the power of the ‘Spirit.’ You’ve pledged allegiance to the Ancient God of the Spirit?”

Ji Zhan then slowly sat back down.

He had been participating in this Trial in this universe for quite some time.

So he naturally felt that there were more than one Ancient God.

They each had different powers and favoured beings.

They were also named based on their performances.

Among the known Ancient Gods, the Ancient God of the Soul that appeared in the Justice Federation was undoubtedly the most dangerous at the moment.

Its power could silently corrupt people’s spirits, making them inadvertently fall into degeneracy and lose themselves.

To be honest, Ji Zhan would rather die than pledge allegiance to such an Ancient God!

However, it seemed that Demon King Ebat, before him, had also understood his thoughts.

“The power of the Ancient God of the Soul is indeed dangerous, but that’s for ordinary people,” Demon King Ebat said slowly, “You should be able to feel that Ancient Gods only care about what interests them, and are indifferent to anything else. As long as we can resist the Pollution, the threat of the Ancient God to us is not high.”

“Are you suggesting…” Ji Zhan seemed to realize something, narrowing his eyes.

“We both are possessors of Golden Legendary Talent; the Pollution of Ancient Gods cannot threaten us,” revealed Demon King Ebat with confidence, “However, if we receive the Ancient Gods’ favour and attract their attention, even the Human Emperor would not dare to act against us lightly, just like Levent from the Justice Federation! As for the deeper threats that come with such attention — they become meaningless once we leave this universe.”
