1050 Divine Fruit Banquet
“The Divine Fruit Banquet this time is too dangerous. If you go, I’m afraid it’s hard to tell whether you’ll be lucky or unlucky.”
Li Xiang was touched, but he still tried to dissuade her.
“Hmph, you can’t interfere in the matters between us sisters. We can go wherever we want. At most, I’ll just give you a lift. Don’t think too highly of yourself!” Yao Yue let out a tsundere snort, then turned around and left.
Lian Xing glanced at Li Xiang and left as well.
At that moment, Zhou Qing walked out from the side and congratulated Li Xiang with a smile. “Congratulations, King. Those two girls are probably already in love with you. It seems that you will have two more ladies by your side.”
“Sorry for showing you such a sight, Advisor.” Li Xiang already knew that Zhou Qing had entered the Castellan’s mansion before Yao Yue and Lian Xing. However, when Zhou Qing sensed that Yao Yue and the others were right behind him, he immediately stepped aside and did not come out to witness the scene with his own eyes.
The two women’s affection for Li Xiang could not be hidden from Zhou Qing’s eyes.
“It’s not confirmed. Advisor, don’t spread rumors. A gentleman is a good match for a graceful lady, but whether or not he can succeed depends on whether the other party is willing or not,” Li Xiang stated.
“King, you’re overthinking things. Your peerless beauty and the ability to create the Dawn Dynasty are enough to attract any woman. Not many women can reject your love,” Zhou Qing said with a smile.
Some things were clearer to the bystanders.
“Speaking of which, Advisor, what are you here for?” Li Xiang smiled and asked directly.
“I wanted to ask if you would be going to the Divine Fruit Banquet. However, the question has already been answered.” Zhou Qing shook his head with a smile.
“Do you think I should go?” Li Xiang asked calmly.
“I don’t want that. After all, it’s dangerous. You represent he billions of people in the Kingdom of Dawn. However, as you said, the Human race can’t retreat from the righteous cause. We can only move forward. Since we have the top spot, we can’t give it up easily. The only hope is that you can put your life first when things get out of hand.”
Zhou Qing said in a deep voice. He knew very well that he couldn’t persuade Li Xiang otherwise and could only support Li Xiang with all his might.
“Naturally.” Li Xiang nodded. He made such a decision out of confidence.
“Do you have any good ideas, Advisor?” Li Xiang asked with a smile.
“It’s not a brilliant plan. It’s nothing more than a combination technique,” Zhou Qing answered calmly.
Li Xiang listened quietly and did not interrupt.
“The Stone Emperor organized this banquet alone. It probably isn’t the intention of all the World Myriad races. He wanted to hold a banquet to gather all the Heaven’s Favorite powerhouses in the world. The Stone Emperor insisted on carrying out the banquet and even specifically pointed out the Human race to use the Human race as bait so that the other Heaven’s Favorite powerhouses of other races have no choice but to attend. No one wants to see us humans get to the top of the list for no reason.”
Zhou Qing continued, “However, it is obviously impossible for the Stone Emperor to stand above the Heaven’s Favorites and become the king of Heaven’s Favorites. His actions were too brutal. He doesn’t have the corresponding strength, status, or combat strength recognized by the world either. His actions will undoubtedly attract the hostility of other Heaven’s Favorites, and they might even take action against him on the spot. This is the risk of the Divine Fruit Banquet.”
Zhou Qing went on, “Also, many races in the World Myriad Races aren’t very close to each other. Some of them are even enemies that hate each other. For example, Werewolves and Blood Ghouls fight each other endlessly. There are many races that aren’t too harmful to us humans. For example, the Elf race likes peace and nature. If possible, we can rope in these races. Even if they can’t commit, they could still remain neutral. It won’t be to the extent that the Human race will be completely targeted and isolated by the Myriad races.”
Zhou Qing talked about it in a leisurely manner.
“To put it bluntly, before the Human race’s might reaches the level of being able to suppress others, maintaining friendly relations with all is the way to go. Roping in a group to ensure that we will not be completely isolated is the best situation. In this world, the Human race is not the true protagonist. This is the competition among the Myriad races. It is far from the time when the final outcome would be decided.”
Li Xiang nodded in agreement. “Yes, if there’s a chance, it’ll be best if we can contact the top Heaven’s Favorites. However, in the end, we still have to rely on our own strength. Advisor, you shouldn’t underestimate the hidden powerhouses and Heaven’s Favorites of the Human race. There must be many of them. If they really gathered together, they might not be inferior to any other race.”
In his opinion, strength was the most important. External forces could be borrowed but not relied on.
“Advisor, prepare to welcome the Evernight soldiers tonight. This time, as per your advice, we will fight outside the city. At that time, we will capture all the Evernight puppets. Three months is enough for us to greatly build our strength.” Li Xiang’s eyes flashed as he spoke.
He had seen the cultivation method of Dao soldiers in the exchange list of the Treasury of Gods and Demons. The Evernight puppets were the best targets to nurture. If Dao soldiers could be nurtured, they would be the strongest trump card.
It was said that once a cultivator reached a certain realm, many would start to nurture Dao soldiers in order to increase their strength. For example, the Fire Crow Dao soldiers, Yin and Yang Dao Soldiers, and so on. They were extremely powerful. Some sects even nurtured Dao soldiers as their trump cards.
However, the conditions for refining Dao Soldiers were very harsh. Not only did they have to be loyal to themselves, but during the refining process, Dao Soldiers were frequently injured and killed. Less than 10% of them would be eft, and the losses were huge.
It was said that top-notch cultivators, especially cultivators who specialized in cultivating Dao soldiers, could fight against a top-notch army alone. With a wave of their hand, they could command one army of powerful Dao soldiers. It was not a dream to form a one-man army.
The Divine Fruit Banquet had given Li Xiang the idea of refining Dao soldiers.
A strange light flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes as time passed quietly.
After the Human race had taken the top spot and the Stone Emperor had announced to the world that he would hold a Divine Fruit Banquet for the Myriad races’ Heaven Favorites, the daytime suddenly became much quieter. Other than many human cultivators coming to Setting Sun City and settling down, there were not many major events.
Before long, it was already night time.
Li Xiang stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, watching as darkness began to envelop the world.
Roar, roar, roar!
Just as night fell, the stargates that had been hidden on the battlefield reappeared from the void. The stargates opened wide, and a large number of ferocious beasts, ferocious birds, and even the Evernight army swept out crazily. It was densely packed. They blotted out the sky and covered the earth as they charged toward the war cities.
The ground of the battlefield began to emit waves of intense explosions.
