Information Transfer, Urgent Deliberation

Hu Shu looked at everyone, his gaze firm. "No matter what, we, the Human Race, will not sit idly by. Let's pool our wisdom and find a way to break through this predicament." However, faced with such a grim situation, everyone fell into silence for a moment. The atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating. How to respond remained a complete mystery.

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from outside the council hall. A Human Race scout, covered in dust and wind, rushed in. His clothes were tattered and stained with blood, clearly indicating he had encountered trouble on his way back.

"My lord!" the scout knelt on one knee, his voice laced with exhaustion and urgency. "I have vital intelligence!"

Hu Shu's heart tightened. He quickly stepped forward to help the scout up. "Quick, tell me, what did you find out?"

The scout took a deep breath, composing himself, and slowly said, "We've discovered that the Heavenly Origin Sect is secretly allying with more forces, intending to launch a large-scale attack against our Human Race. Furthermore, the Witch Tribe is also preparing for a new round of offense, seemingly planning to attack us from both front and back with the Heavenly Origin Sect."

As soon as this was said, the council hall erupted. People whispered amongst themselves, their expressions growing more tense, fear spreading through the crowd.

"What are we to do? The Heavenly Origin Sect is already powerful, and now they're allying with other forces, and the Witch Tribe is joining in. How can our Human Race resist?" an elder of the Human Race said worriedly, his hands trembling slightly, betraying his inner unease.

Hu Shu frowned, a flicker of anxiety in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He surveyed the crowd and said loudly, "Everyone, calm down first! The more critical the moment, the clearer our minds must be."

The crowd gradually quieted down, their gazes turning to Hu Shu, as if seeking hope in him.

After a moment of thought, Hu Shu gathered everyone to sit together again, initiating an urgent discussion on countermeasures.

"Let's first analyze the current situation," Hu Shu said. "The Heavenly Origin Sect allying with other forces, their goal is nothing more than to suppress our Human Race completely and maintain their dominant position in the Primordial World. As for the Witch Tribe, they have always had conflicts with the Human Race, and their cooperation with the Heavenly Origin Sect this time is also to seize the opportunity to eliminate us."

"Then what should we do? Are we supposed to just wait for death?" a member of the Elite Squad clenched his fist, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Of course not!" Hu Shu's gaze was firm. "Although our Human Race is relatively weaker, we have our own advantages. We have the will to unite as one, and we have the Invincible Domain System."

Mention of the Invincible Domain System brought a glimmer of hope to everyone's eyes.

"But the range of the Invincible Domain System is currently limited, and upgrading it also takes time. Faced with so many powerful enemies, how much of a difference can it make?" someone raised a question.

"That is indeed a problem," Hu Shu nodded. "But we can make good use of the domain's advantages, for example, by deploying it at key defensive points and concentrating our forces for defense. At the same time, we must also find ways to improve the overall strength of the Human Race."

At this moment, a Human Race sage stepped forward and said, "We can mobilize all the strength of the Human Race to strengthen our defensive fortifications. Additionally, we can organize cultivators among the Human Race for targeted training to enhance their combat capabilities."

"That's a viable approach," Hu Shu agreed. "But it's not enough. We also need to seek external aid, uniting with other forces that have conflicts with the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Witch Tribe to jointly resist them."

Everyone nodded, starting to discuss animatedly, proposing various possible countermeasures.

However, each plan seemed to have its flaws. For instance, whether other forces would be willing to cooperate with the Human Race when seeking external aid remained unknown. As for strengthening defenses and training cultivators, whether there would be enough time was also a concern.

As the discussion deepened, everyone's brows furrowed tighter. Time slipped away in the tense atmosphere, yet no definitive countermeasure had been determined.

The wind on Shouyang Mountain howled, rustling the branches outside the council hall. The sky gradually darkened, and the atmosphere within the hall grew increasingly somber.

The faces of the important members of the Human Race were filled with anxiety and exhaustion. They knew well that time was running out for the Human Race; every moment of delay brought them closer to danger.

Hu Shu looked at everyone, understanding that a decision had to be made quickly. But this decision concerned the very survival of the Human Race, and could not be taken lightly.

At this critical juncture, which plan could save the Human Race from dire straits? Hu Shu fell into deep thought, while everyone else waited silently for his judgment.
