The chief ran back into the mansion to go to the inner temple. Hou Yi's statue was there. He took a deep breath as he looked at the recording crystal in his hands. On one hand, he wanted to see this, but on the other hand, he has a bad feeling.

But after some thought, he decided to take a look at it anyway and when he saw the video, he was shocked.

It is the video of the Starbow family begging Hou Yi and the latter sneering and chiding them at their uselessness to kill Sam.

This is the video Sam took when the Starbow family head is begging and crying to his god after Sam retaliated in full scale.

He figured it would come in handy.

The Solar Fragment chief looked at Hou Yi's statue after the video. He felt extremely conflicted and anxious at the same time.

He didn't want to make the leap and ask Hou Yi for help. If he didn't ask, there is no chance for him to get any help and if he did ask and didn't get the answer he wants, he would be in deep trouble. If not for the fact that Sam didn't show the video, he would have directly asked.

Now there is also another thought that Sam is just messing with his head.

A lot of thoughts are killing his mind.

He doesn't know what to do and who to ask for help.

He just spent an hour in front of the statue thinking whether he should ask or not. He considered surrendering to Sam and then thought of the consequences of that surrender and then he thought of the large rocket and the damage it could cause.

He stood up after this and thought of asking the elders for help. He wanted to ask their suggestions.

But he didn't know that this is the mistake he made. He should have made the decision himself and as soon as he brought other voices in, it got all the more confused.

"Brother, you need to think of another way. We cannot just surrender and there is a high chance that this is all a ploy from him. Let us try to ask the help from Hou Yi. He is our god and we did this because he asked this of us.

There is no way he would leave us in the lurch."

The only lady in the meeting the younger sister of the head gave the advice.

But there is another voice which is even stronger.

"I think we need to validate all pros and cons. I suggest we call him for a meeting and discuss terms with him directly. I always told you, the gods are not trustworthy. In exchange for resources, we are sending half of our offspring to him. It is not a noble blessing. It is merely a trade.

Even though I don't like to surrender, it is a way better option than sending all our kids to that god."

This is another brother of the chief.

The conversations were heated and the chief had to put a stop to it.

"We don't have to make a decision. There is no deadline. We can wait for a while and think this through and even if God doesn't help us, we can always negotiate the terms with him later."

Another man who has an uncanny resemblance to the woman who first spoke told and with that the meeting is adjourned.

As they walked outside, the woman walked towards her twin brother who spoke the last and poked his hand before leaving.

The brother followed her and both of them ended up in her residence.

"I got something this morning."

She said as he took out a scroll from her spatial ring and gave it to her brother.

He took the scroll and read it which made him feel shocked.

"When did you get this?"

"When that news about a man disappearing out of thin air circulated. To be precise a few minutes before that."

"He personally gave this message? Are you going to follow through?"

"We are going to follow through."

"Agar, you are not out of your mind are you? I thought you wanted to be the head of the tribe. Not destroy it."

"I don't want to become the chief of this tribe. I don't want to destroy this tribe either."

"Then what do you want?"

She didn't speak for a second and continued.

"We are following this through and you are not going to make a move on him to help this tribe. Do you understand? Now get out of here. I want some alone time."

The brother left in silence.

That night, the twins came out of the estate discreetly and walked into the forest according to the instructions Sam gave them in the scroll.

Once they reached a certain spot, they saw a shadow appear from the ground in the darkness and spoke.

"Hello, I am Sam. The one in front of you is the result of my shadow necromancy, so don't panic or think too much. It is just that the probability of you guys killing me is extremely high. So, I didn't want to come here."

"I am Agar and this is my brother who is younger than me by three minutes. Argan."

Agar spoke as she looked at the shadow.

"I never saw this kind of body, which shadow is it."

"Its called a Yaksha. There are similar to you guys in many ways, but instead of fire element, they can get any element by birth."

"Okay now. What do you want us here for?"

"I want to know if you want to become my partner. I heard from a little bird who sang that you want the destruction of the Solar Fragment tribe."

"Well that bird didn't sing correctly, it is not just the destruction of the tribe that I want."

"Oh, then is that bird correct about this. You both are in late-stage Pre-transcendence of Astral Plane and you both hid your cultivation. You are about to apply for going to Hou Yi's army to kill your father."

Agar and Argan both stopped in their tracks and they became vigilant. Faint killing intent could be felt.

"You can kill this shadow. All I would feel is a headache for a day, but I will be after you and come searching for you to kill you with my own hands."

"How do you know of this?"

"It turned out that the last batch of your main force sent to mess with my life has a leader and he is your nephew.

I must say he has great talent. He is not that much older than me and he is already stronger than me and he also has a lot of secrets.

And he also told me, that your brother already knew of this and he is planning on sending you somewhere else with the help of Dark Elf.

And it happens to be the Dark Elf's territory where they would be doing experiments on you guys."

"You are lying," Argan said coldly.

"The Solar Fragments are great. But there is a genetic problem. They are humans who are mutated into something else because of the bloodline of a superior being.

You are like Demi-humans, but the only problem is your bodies lack the potential to hold the strength that bloodline brings. Once you breakthrough into the Astral stage Pre-transcendence, you will be done for. That's the limit of your human part and your beast bloodline wouldn't be satisfied and tries to make your body collapse.

The only way to get past that is to make a beast cultivation contract with a Golden Sun crow which you guys cannot do.

So, you try different methods and your brother made a deal with the Dark elves, that they could experiment on you as much as they liked and they could take you Agar as their birthing machine to strengthen their bloodline.

And this is the plan your father and Nephew discussed because he was throwing a tantrum when he was ordered to mess with me.

I know you wouldn't want to trust me that easily. After all, there is a large possibility that whatever I am telling you is bull shit."

So, go back to your residences and tell your brother that you would leave tomorrow morning. If he sends you both some collars in the name of some bull shit excuse, then come here and meet me."

With that, Sam disappeared.

Agar and Argan exchanged a look and went back to their residences. Most of the things Sam said are right and if all of it was true, then they would be in some deep trouble. But before they make any decisions, they should confirm it.

So, they went and did as they were told.

"Why do you want to go suddenly?" The chief asked with a frown.

"There is no reason, it felt like a good time. Even if that recording was right, it was because the Starbow family was not that useful. But we are. We would join the army as a gift to Hou Yi and he might think twice before rejecting his help." Agar just made something up and replied.

"It is not a bad thought. Go back to your residences first, your levels are too high and the wormhole that connects to the army is a special one. So, you need to wear something. I will let the attendants bring them to you."
