Chapter 1108: Chapter 313: Order He Weidao to Die! (Part 2)
He came to meet He Weidao this time with the intention of revealing everything, so there was nothing to hide.
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but say to the black-robed person following him, “Firefly Empress. Remove your hood.”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s order, the Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiend standing by Fang Ze’s side slowly removed her hood.
With the hood removed, an exceptionally beautiful woman’s face appeared before He Weidao.
As the War Goddess of the Domain Battlefield, the Firefly Empress’s appearance did not match her battle record. She had a palm-sized small oval face, with fair skin and blue eyes as clear as a lake. There were tiny blue luminescent spots on her cheeks, and her ears were slender yet intricately curved, somewhat resembling the beautiful Shark People.
Seeing the Firefly Empress, He Weidao truly confirmed Fang Ze’s identity: at the auction, the Giant Whale Venerable had displayed his eight Divine Fiends, so the intelligence returned from the Outer Realm had recorded the identities of these eight Divine Fiends. Among them was the beautiful Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiend, the Firefly Empress.
And now the Firefly Empress was standing with Fang Ze. Even if it couldn’t 100% prove Fang Ze was the mysterious person, it was enough to prove Fang Ze had a close relationship with that mysterious person.
Thinking this, He Weidao didn’t know if he should feel happy or worried.
He withdrew his gaze from the Firefly Empress and looked at Fang Ze, speaking without joy or sorrow, “Chairperson Fang accused me of hiding deeply, but it seems you hide even deeper than me now.”
As he said this, he paused and then asked, “But Chairperson Fang, after hiding for so long, must have a purpose for revealing your identity now?”
Hearing He Weidao’s words, Fang Ze gestured to the Firefly Empress, whose face briefly flashed with ferocity but obediently placed a chair behind Fang Ze.
Fang Ze sat on the chair, looked at He Weidao, and said, “Chairperson He, you are indeed a smart person. Of course, I have business with you.”
He paused and said, “I want to make a deal with you.”
“A deal?” He Weidao looked at Fang Ze, saying with a half-smile, “Name your price.”
Fang Ze said, “I can ensure that after your death, the Yuan Gu is expelled from the Real World.”
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao slowly shook his head and said, “The Yuan Gu would leave the Real World anyway, even if I fail to expel him, he would leave on his own. So this can’t be considered a price.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Ze chuckled and asked, “Are you sure?”
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao seemed to think of something and furrowed his brow slightly.
And at this moment, Fang Ze slowly began to speak,
“The Yuan Gu will leave voluntarily because they believe that mysterious person is still in the Outer Realm. But if he now knows that the mysterious person has returned to the Real World and is in the Eastern Administrative Region, do you think he will still leave?”
“Why wouldn’t he kill the Zeng Family’s ancestor and its bloodline, or bloodbath the bloodlines of several demigods, summon more Venerables to the Real World, and directly hunt down that mysterious person?”
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao’s pupils slightly contracted, and he said in a deep voice, “You are threatening me!”
Fang Ze slowly shook his head, “No. This is not a threat. I just want to tell you, I hold the initiative in this matter.”
“I can choose to expose or conceal my identity, thus controlling whether the Venerables retreat to the Outer Realm or descend to the Real World. So this indeed can serve as my price.”
“Moreover…”
Saying this, Fang Ze’s body shook, and the aura of Ascension erupted from him.
Sensing the aura on Fang Ze, He Weidao was slightly startled in his heart.
Fang Ze said, “I have already reached the level of Ascension. Recently, my adventures in the Outer Realm have helped me accumulate enough resources.”
“So I can already ascend to a demigod at any time and then leave the Real World, regardless of humanity’s survival.”
Upon hearing this, He Weidao furrowed his brows deeply.
He looked deeply at Fang Ze and then cautiously countered, “Since you know so many secrets, you should also know that the participants of the Polaris Project, including Bai Qingcang, tend to believe True God can only be achieved by normal creatures, so becoming a demigod means giving up becoming a True God.”
His gaze was as sharp as an eagle as he stared at Fang Ze, as if trying to see through Fang Ze’s heart, “You’re not someone who is willing to stop at the level of a demigod.”
Hearing He Weidao’s words, Fang Ze couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, he looked seriously at He Weidao and asked back, “Do you want to gamble? Gamble whether I’m willing to give up becoming a True God?”
“The stake is the fate of humanity.”
“Don’t say it, but I might actually be more inclined to stay in the Real World and fight for humanity right now. However…. with my ability to control Divine Fiends, I would certainly be among the elite in the Outer Realm.”
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, He Weidao’s brows were already deeply furrowed.
Fang Ze was right. This was a gamble. And an unequal gamble at that.
The stakes for both sides were vastly different. For Fang Ze, it was merely a choice between a minor win or a major win, while for himself and the Human Race, it was the difference between a minor loss and a total loss.
Looking at it this way, it seemed like he didn’t really have a choice at all….
Even though he thought this, He Weidao did not immediately agree. He slowly stood up, his aura beginning to rise, and he stared intently at Fang Ze with eyes gradually turning golden, speaking in a deep voice, “But Fang Ze. I feel like you are more dangerous than Venerable Yuan Gu, and even more so than other demigods from the Outer Realm!”
