Chapter 253: Decision

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as He Qing finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

Even Heluo was puzzled.

Obviously, no one really understood the meaning behind He Qing’s words.

Old Man He Qing let out a sigh and said, “The reason why 1 could rush to Archean City so quickly is because I didn’t set off from the Eternal Clan, but because I was here.”

The old man raised his hand and pointed to the west.

“My original task was to deal with the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.”

“But there’s a major problem with this task.”

With that said, He Qing looked at Roda and continued, “Coincidentally, Little Roda is here too, so I’ll tell you what’s going on with your neighbor.”

He Qing went on to explain, and everyone listened attentively.

He first talked about the cooperation between the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, the Giant Clan, and the Insect Clan.

Lu Ming and the others did not know about this matter.

“In short, although our department concluded that this Blood Flesh Mother Tree will definitely trigger a divine war, the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan, who have already tasted the benefits, don’t care about our warnings at all.”

The Blood Flesh Mother Tree could mass-produce the qualifications for ascending to the heavens.

At this stage, both the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan had already gained tremendous profits from the Mother Tree.

They considered the Mother Tree to be a treasure, and anyone who wanted to harm it had to get through these two first-rate clans.

It had to be known that both clans had divine beings suppressing them and they had now reached a certain level of offensive and defensive cooperation treaty. With the power of the two clans combined, even the Eternal Clan could not underestimate them.

Speaking of the negotiation process, Old Man He Qing could not help but clap, “I told them that this Blood Flesh Mother Tree was the source of the divine war, and they told me that if the Eternal Clan wanted to touch the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, it meant that we were deliberately provoking a divine war. It seems like they turned it into a logical loop.”

“And now, the Undead Clan has also clashed with these two clans, and the three sides are fighting fiercely outside the Dark Grassland. I reported to my superiors, and it seems that even our divine beings can’t mediate the conflicts here.”

“So, as for the matter of the Blood Flesh Blood Mother Tree, our Eternal Clan will no longer interfere…”

If we were to talk about who was benefiting the most in Nanxiang,

it would definitely be the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.

It had gained benefits by taking advantage of the two major clans, and had the protection of two divine beings!

In this situation, the Eternal Clan could not intervene even if they wanted to.

If one did not intervene, a divine war might not happen.

If one intervened, a divine war would likely break out soon…

“The purpose of the existence of the Sky Monitoring Bureau is to maintain order in the Black Mist Zone. We shouldn’t actively create a greater disaster just to destroy the source of calamity, right?”

Therefore, the current situation was:

“You, the Undead Clan, the Insect Clan, the Giant Clan, and the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, can fight as you please.

Even if they fought till their minds were hurt and they became stupid, the Eternal Clan did not care anymore.

The Sky Monitoring Bureau would just turn a blind eye to the divine-level calamity of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.

“But we have made a constraint, that the war between the three clans will be bounded by the Hundred Thousand Mountains. We strictly prohibit the Blood Flesh Mother Tree from crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains and appearing in the territory of the Eternal Clan.”

The territory of the Eternal Clan was far away on the other side of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

As long as the Blood Flesh Mother Tree did not appear in the territory of the Eternal Clan, everyone could live in harmony.

“As for Archean City and the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they are not included in this agreement.”

Archean City was inconspicuous to begin with.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains were an unclaimed area.

The Eternal Clan obviously would not protect these two places.

They even considered these two places as buffer zones.

“And now, the war between the three clans is getting more intense. The war might spread to this side in a matter of months.”

At this point, He Qing looked at Lu Ming and Roda and said solemnly, “So let’s go to the Eternal Clan. Keep your distance from them and don’t get involved in this.”

As He Qing finished speaking, everyone present fell into silence.

Among them, Luo Da and Lu Ming were the ones with the most complicated feelings.

Roda was the City Lord of Archean City, and this place was his home.

And Lu Ming was the leader of the Land God Association. Although Lu Ming did not care about the Land God Association, he was comfortable staying in Archean City.

To Lu Ming, Archean City was a relatively good place for seclusion.

However, now that He Qing had made it clear that this place was about to be destroyed…

This really messed up his mentality.

Seeing the silence of those present, He Qing added, “So, tomorrow, I’ll leave with my men tomorrow. You should think carefully tonight about the pros and cons of leaving with me. If you choose to go with me, we will leave together tomorrow.”

“If you choose not to go with me, you can stay here for a period of time, but you’ll have to handle everything on your own.”

Once the war spread here, it would not be a small matter.

With the ongoing war between the three clans, many Source Realm experts had already taken action, and even Ancient Realm experts had appeared.

Once they got involved, the danger would be immense.

Even if they did not get involved, it would not be safe to go alone through the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the territory of the Eternal Clan—there were Ancient Realm exotic beasts lurking deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Seeing that Lu Ming did not make a decision for a long time, He Qing shook his head.

“You guys take care of yourselves.”

With that, He Qing immediately disappeared without a trace.

That night, Lu Ming, who was cultivating, was woken up by a knock on the door.

“Please come in.”

Roda walked into the room.

“Brother Lu.”

“Hmph. What’s the matter?”

“I’ve decided not to leave with Grandpa He Qing.”

Lu Ming was not surprised by Roda’s decision.

“King Lin’s inheritance hasn’t been fully absorbed by me yet, and besides, I have a safe route from the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the Eternal Clan’s territory.”

“Although it’s a bit slower and slightly more unpredictable in terms of danger, at least it’s usable.”

With that said, Roda paused for a moment and continued, “What I mean is that if Brother Lu doesn’t want to leave and wants to stay in Archean City for a while, you don’t have to worry about an exit route.”

After Roda finished speaking, Lu Ming nodded.

“Got it. Thank you.”

Roda grinned, “Why are we talking about this between friends?”

Less than two minutes after Roda left, there was another knock on Lu Ming’s door.

“Please come in.”

As Lu Ming’s voice fell, Huo Sheng, Zhang Chengcheng, Wei Lan, and Faia entered the room.

Seeing these people, a smile appeared on Lu Ming’s face.

Before Lu Ming could say anything, Huo Sheng had already sat down in front of him.

“So…”

Although he did not raise any questions, Lu Ming already knew what Huo Sheng wanted to say.

He simply replied, “I’m not leaving.”

“I’ve decided not to leave Archean City and I’ll go to the Eternal Clan territory with you all.”

Going to the Eternal Clan’s territory with He Qing and the others had both pros and cons.

The advantage was that it was safer there.

The disadvantage was that there were too many experts there.

Lu Ming, with the system in his body, was special.

Flame Heart recognized this uniqueness but actively helped Lu Ming conceal it. This also meant that He Qing did not see Lu Ming’s uniqueness, but it was uncertain whether the divine beings of the Eternal Clan would notice it.

Dream Realm Blessing: Deep-layer camouflage is not unsolvabie.

Just a simple trade-off was enough to support Lu Ming’s decision not to leave.

“I see…” Huo Sheng sighed deeply and looked at Lu Ming with a solemn gaze.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Ming.

“Thank you.”

Thank you for the protection and sacrifice you have made during this period of time.

Lu Ming just nodded slightly in response.

He gladly accepted Huo Sheng’s gratitude..
