Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Shangguan Tianyang’s Conjecture
Upon hearing Baiyu mention the war, Shangguan Tianyang’s expression slightly changed: "Mr. Bai, are you also paying attention to this matter?"
Baiyu nodded naturally and said: "War is such a significant event, of course, I must pay some attention to it. Especially given the current situation in the East Prosperity Imperial, it never hurts to be more concerned."
Shangguan Tianyang nodded, his expression serious: "This war is meant to teach the alien races a lesson.
In recent years, several major alien races have gotten closer to the demons.
After the Celestial Essence’s great battle, resting and recuperating over these years, they’ve begun to stir restlessly again.
If we don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll become even more reckless.
Mr. Bai, what’s your opinion on this war?"
In Shangguan Tianyang’s mind, Baiyu is regarded as the reincarnation of a mysterious elder.
Being able to single-handedly slay the offspring of the rebellious egg during the battle of Zenith City, before his reincarnation, he absolutely reached the level of a privileged one, the strongest Extraordinary beneath the Divine Spirit.
Although Shangguan Tianyang was once a privileged one himself.
However.
His level was not high.
Among the group of privileged ones serving under the Divine Spirit he once worshiped, he belonged to one of the weaker members.
Of course.
It was precisely because he wasn’t formidable that he managed to escape the divine war alive, eventually successfully established East Prosperity.
Every privileged one serves the Divine Spirit as an Immortal.
They possess powerful strength throughout, countless times more formidable than the average Extraordinary.
And every privileged one’s ultimate goal is to become a Divine Spirit, to obtain the divine authority.
However.
Shangguan Tianyang is aware of his limited ability.
Among the fallen Divine Spirits of the past, countless privileged ones madly vied for authority, ultimately leading to the tragic event known as the "Blood Feast."
He considered himself fortunate amidst misfortune.
However
After leaving the Dream Realm, even an Immortal struggles to withstand those sinister murmurs.
Assaulted by pollution and distortion.
Corroding his Demigod body as an Immortal.
And after the Divine Spirit he served fell, no Divine Spirit possessed enough Divine Power to help him eradicate the pollution and distortion.
Now.
Humans only have the protection of the seven gods, yet enjoy the most secure and fertile land, naturally coveted by the alien races.
Furthermore.
Among the seven gods, it’s still uncertain how many are the original ones.
The Human Imperial on the Canglan Star.
Are essentially established by the privileged ones of the Divine Spirits.
The strength of East Prosperity Imperial is built on the powerful foundation of Shangguan Tianyang as a privileged one.
In these years of Shangguan Tianyang’s quiet recuperation, East Prosperity Imperial’s national strength visibly declined, and various evil forces emerged.
That’s why he values Baiyu so much.
Because a privileged one, especially a powerful privileged one, can significantly influence the fate of a nation.
The other party can kill the Divine Spirit’s offspring in one strike.
Moreover, it’s the offspring of the ancient Stone Origin God, proving he must have been an extremely powerful privileged one in the Dream Realm.
Might even possess nation-destroying strength.
A privileged one who has goodwill towards humans, and possibly could be a human’s Ascension himself, Shangguan Tianyang is determined to win him over.
He also wants to hear Baiyu’s thoughts about this war.
Among the privileged ones and Divine Spirits in the Dream Realm, some are friendly towards humans, some are not.
Meeting such a senior who stands on the human side is no easy feat.
"Hmm, if you want to know my view..."
Baiyu’s routine work involves chatting with these individuals, so when Shangguan Tianyang asks, he is willing to discuss it with this elder.
"Regarding war, I’m not an expert, but I think if fighting in the Spirit Realm, one should be more cautious."
Baiyu said seriously: "Even if the battle of Zenith City severely weakened the alien races’ vital forces, caution is still needed. A desperate situation, if these alien races and the demons from Wumian Mansion unite for a last-ditch effort, it could cause tremendous trouble."
Shangguan Tianyang nodded.
These issues have also been under his consideration, but since it’s war, necessary bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable.
"Also, if you are responsible for handling war-related matters, you must also be wary of internal problems." Baiyu whispered.
"Oh?"
Shangguan Tianyang’s face gradually grew solemn, sensitive due to Holy Light Church’s affairs, and has been investigating spies within the empire for some time.
"Back when Zenith City fell, it was due to the demons developing new methods to control people, capable of bypassing inspections."
Baiyu explained: "Moreover, back in Linjiang City, I and a friend, along with some people from Eternal Sleep City, entered Linjiang City enclosed by the Simulation Realm. The situation was very strange; the indestructible Spirit Technique suddenly mysteriously shattered, leaving everyone passive."
Baiyu is not blaming anyone.
It’s just that the Spirit Technique Rain Master used and his promised guarantee, which later led everyone into a perilous situation, were all very odd.
Moreover.
To this day, Rain Master’s whereabouts remain elusive, while the bodies of those juniors from Eternal Sleep City who followed him have been recovered.
Baiyu has always suspected.
Rain Master didn’t die.
The existence of Eternal Sleep City is not a secret to official personnel and higher-ranked Martial Artists and Extraordinaries.
Hence, Baiyu can discuss these matters.
The media had already reported on the alien invasion incidents in several cities within Maple Leaf County, even the current reconstruction efforts are being followed up.
These are all public information.
Shangguan Tianyang surely knows.
Baiyu just wants to remind him that the other party seems to be a high-ranking officer in the military, still coordinating military affairs post-retirement, clearly a person of great influence.
Baiyu’s reminder.
Might offer some indirect inspiration to the other party.
As for the specific issues related to the war, he really isn’t clear.
"Mr. Bai, do you think, Eternal Sleep City might also have issues?"
Shangguan Tianyang humbly asked.
"It’s only possible; after all, before anything occurs, nobody knows what backups alien races and demons might have. They’ve fought us for so many years, surely have many arrangements.
Those arrangements might not affect ordinary times.
But once war breaks out.
It’s always a thorn in the heart of the empire, and no one knows if the Zenith City events might happen again."
Baiyu sighed.
Before the alien invasion, Zenith City was known as the Undefeated City.
However.
The most impregnable fortress in any world is always breached from within.
An enormous entity like Zenith City, attacks from outside rarely cause fatal threats.
"Mr. Bai, what you said, I will consider, thank you."
Shangguan Tianyang stood up, bowing deeply.
Baiyu provided a very critical piece of information that Eternal Sleep City might face changes.
This.
Indeed was something he hadn’t thought of before.
The other party is implying that something has happened to Eternal Sleep City!
"Mr. Bai, I’ll come to visit you another day to chat, today’s conversation has already benefited me greatly. I plan to first handle some matters."
Shangguan Tianyang respectfully said.
Having heard Baiyu’s words, he could hardly wait to go check Eternal Sleep City immediately.
