CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 304 DIVINE RACE 2 KING

The Divine Race Imperial Palace is the faith of all of the Divine Race, woven through the blood and lives of their ancestors, passed down through generations.

To all the warriors of the Divine Race, they are the people of the gods, everything granted by the gods. To repay the gods, they built the Imperial Palace to worship the gods in their hearts.

The gods, cannot be desecrated, nor can they be invaded by outsiders!

"You three young ones, this is the Divine Race Imperial Palace, not your Wu Meng Land. Take all the Wu Meng Warriors and leave this place immediately. After three breaths, if there are still Wu Meng Warriors remaining, they will be killed without mercy!" The majestic voice was deafening, containing boundless anger.

The King of Divine Race is furious!

He will not allow outsiders to desecrate the Divine Race Imperial Palace in front of all Divine Race people, showing disrespect to the gods!

"King of Divine Race, we do not intend to offend, but this treasure is crucial to our Void Hall. We had no choice but to intrude, please calm down." The words of the Void Hall Master seemed humble, yet his expression remained unchanged.

"King of Divine Race." The Mansion Master of the Brilliant Star Mansion took a step forward, "I can promise you, as long as you are willing to open the Divine Race Imperial Palace and let us enter to search, I can offer the entire Western Regions of Wu Meng as the price of exchange. How about it?"

An entire Western Region for a chance to enter the Divine Race Imperial Palace, regardless of whether the Wu Meng people find the treasure, the entire Western Region will belong to the Divine Race.

The conditions are extremely tempting, causing many of the Alien Race Warriors to start calming down, weighing the benefits amidst their anger.

Indeed, the Divine Race Imperial Palace is right to refuse outsiders entry, but many Wu Meng Warriors have entered before—like Wang Xu, who, as a defector of Wu Meng, entered the Divine Race Imperial Palace and even secured a marriage contract with the Princess, making him the successor to become the next King of the Divine Race.

If it were not for the three highest leaders making the request in front of everyone today, with such tempting conditions, they could have effortlessly entered the Divine Race Imperial Palace.

But things have come to this point; it’s too late to retreat now.

"You three youngsters, just by yourselves, you don’t have the guts to challenge my Divine Race. What gave you the power to not even care for your own lives?" The King of Divine Race questioned, with a slight threat in his tone.

Indeed, the three highest leaders are powerful, but only equivalent to the three Alien Race commanders on the battlefield. In terms of real power, the Alien Race King completely surpasses them.

Yet now, the three have come directly into the depths of the Desolate Land, up to the palace gates, wanting to enter the palace to search for someone. With their strengths alone, they don’t have such confidence, only one possibility—there is a strong presence behind them, no weaker than the Alien Race King, supporting them, so they dare to be fearless.

"King of Divine Race, we have no intention of provocation, and our purpose has been expressed very clearly. We merely wish to enter the Divine Race Imperial Palace to search for an important treasure related to Wu Meng. For this, we are willing to pay the entire Western Regions as the price..." the Void Hall Master declared loudly.

Then, he shifted the tone, "If we make such concessions and you still refuse, don’t blame us for any extreme actions for the sake of Wu Meng’s dignity."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like igniting a powder keg, all the strong beings in the Divine Race Imperial Palace flew into a rage and cursed loudly!

"Damn Wu Meng Warriors, this is the Divine Race Imperial Palace, the resting place of the gods. Daring to disturb the rest of the deities, the wrath of the Divine Race will descend, prepare to face punishment!"

"Wu Meng Warriors, if you dare to step into my Divine Race Imperial Palace, I swear, we will launch an endless pursuit against all Wu Meng Warriors, with no respite!"

"The Divine Race Imperial Palace will never allow any Wu Meng Warrior to tarnish it. Filthy Wu Meng Warriors, get out!"

The vast pressure spread out, this is the anger of all the super creatures in the Divine Race Imperial Palace, their fighting spirit rising, ready to engage in a battle with the Wu Meng Warriors at any moment.

"The reason you dare to speak so arrogantly is entirely due to the strength of the King of Divine Race. It’s true, the King of Divine Race is strong, very powerful, I must admit." The Void Hall Master said, "However, if the current King of Divine Race is already half-crippled with not a tenth of his former power, do you think he still has the ability to protect you, to protect the Divine Race?"

What?! The King of Divine Race is injured!

Once this news spread, many Alien Race Warriors began to waver.

The strongest in the Divine Race is the King of Divine Race, followed by the Three Kings, and then the Three Great Commanders... But strictly speaking, the Three Kings are not truly powerful; the Three Great Commanders should rank second.

The three highest leaders of Wu Meng before them, their strength is comparable to the Three Great Commanders. In terms of battle power, the Divine Race is naturally stronger.

But they haven’t forgotten that in Wu Meng, not only are there four major regions but also a Central Star Domain.

There, exists a truly powerful presence that the Divine Race still dares not provoke!

If a great war breaks out, Wu Meng’s three leaders against the three generals of the Divine Race, and the King of Divine Race facing that powerful figure from the Wu Meng Divine Hall, their Divine Race might still have a chance of victory.

But now the King of Divine Race has suffered severe injuries, his strength less than a tenth of what it used to be, and this is an unbearable catastrophe for all members of the Divine Race. He will lead the entire Divine Race to destruction!

All eyes converged on the towering figure at the back, hoping to receive a denial from his mouth, even if it was a lie, as long as it could negate this terrible news, they would still fight without hesitation.

But the King of Divine Race remained silent, the towering figure unmoved, remaining silent.

Instantly, the faces of many strong Divine Race members turned pale, yet they still gritted their teeth, remaining steadfast in their beliefs. Even if the king was severely injured, as long as they were present, these Wu Meng Warriors would not set foot in the Divine Race Imperial Palace!

The eyes of the strong Divine Race members were firm and unyielding, their postures upright, their overwhelming might unchanged, and a boundless fighting spirit was pervasive.

The three highest leaders of Wu Meng were silent for a moment, then turned their gaze toward one among the many strong figures of the Divine Race.

"King of Divine Race, as you anticipated, our collaboration is effective starting now. It’s time to show us your sincerity in cooperation." The voice of the Void Hall Master echoed through every corner of the Divine Race Imperial Palace.

Instantly, all the super strong of the Divine Race were shocked, turning their heads in disbelief to look at the figure slowly pacing forward, dressed in luxurious robes.

Born with eight horns, two of them broken in the middle, the remaining six emitted a hazy glow, enveloping the entire person, appearing immensely sacred and radiant.

The King of Divine Race.

This was a legendary existence, his strength once equal to that of the King of Divine Race. During the throne contest when the previous King of Divine Race fell, he took part but unfortunately lost, willingly becoming an official in the Divine Race’s Imperial Palace.

"Everyone." A calm voice emerged, as the King’s speech was rare, and in many people’s eyes, he was taciturn, rarely speaking, yet very wise, able to sharply point out mistakes in many matters.

His voice was deep, "They are right, our great king was severely injured in an accident, his strength declined, unable to even exert a tenth of his original power."

"The Divine Race Imperial Palace is a god’s mausoleum, and as the god’s people, we should give our lives to defend the god’s dignity and protect it all! However... we safeguarded the Divine Race Imperial Palace but abandoned other Divine Race members!"

"If a war breaks out, lacking strong enough power, our end will only be to lose the war, letting hundreds of billions, thousands of billions, and trillions of our citizens perish in the flames of war! The merciful god watching this would cry and be disappointed in us..."

The king’s voice resounded through the void, silence surrounded them, the strong Divine Race members, their grips on their War Soldiers started to loosen quietly.

The existence of the Divine Race was due to their great king, who provided shelter with his formidable power, but now that the king’s strength wasn’t what it used to be, even if they could secure the Divine Race Imperial Palace, they had no time to care for other places.

"Our great king is right, we are proud, noble, revered by all beings, and should not bow like those despicable Wu Meng Warriors... but forgive me, I cannot bear to see billions of citizens dying in war. For the citizens, I am willing to become the sinner of the Divine Race! To apologize to all beings!" The King’s voice was penetrating, striking everyone’s hearts, his eyes red and teary.

After he finished his last sentence, bowing deeply to all members of the Divine Race, tears fell in front of the crowd.

In a moment, all the fighting spirit and all the fierce might vanished.

The towering figure witnessed this scene, releasing his tightly clenched fist, while within the Divine Race Imperial Palace, the white figure before the Ice Coffin revealed a bitter smile.

"Li Ji, we lost... we all lost..." The King of Divine Race seemed to age instantly, his gaze dimmed.

The King chose to accept the deal.

Trading the entire Western Regions for three days of search time in the Divine Race Imperial Palace, once the three days are over, regardless of whether they find their sought treasures, they must leave the palace.

Of course, the agreement of only one of the Kings wasn’t enough; at least two of the four kings need to agree, alongside support from the officials.

But the outcome was clear; with his strategy of retreat to advance, the King’s words convinced many Divine Race strong members, and with such tempting conditions, they hesitated briefly but ultimately chose to support him.

The Law Contract was signed, the Cosmic Law descended, overseeing all of this.

The seas surrounding the Divine Race Imperial Palace parted, revealing a passage straight to the palace. The three highest leaders exchanged glances, stepped forward, and directly entered the Divine Race Imperial Palace. (To be continued.
