Arrogance

Lucius's face darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and he said coldly, "What's it to you?"

The young man, however, was not afraid. Instead, he burst into laughter. "What? Did I hit a nerve? Are you angry and embarrassed?"

Yun Xi frowned, looked at him, and said, "Your rudeness is unbecoming of your status."

The young man glanced at Yun Xi and said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone around watched the scene with great interest, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

Lucius took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said to the young man, "This is none of your business, so don't say anything."

The young man persisted. "Lucius, I'm just being weird."

"But... this woman wouldn't happen to be one of your divided souls, would she? Hahaha." The young man laughed wildly, his laughter echoing in the conference room, sounding particularly jarring.

Lucius's face grew increasingly grim.

The other party, however, showed no sign of restraint and continued to laugh arrogantly.

Just then, a dignified voice rang out. "Quiet down, all of you!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the main seat. He was the initiator of this meeting, the successor of the Chaos God King — Ping Wei.

An invisible pressure emanated from Ping Wei, making people afraid to look directly at him.

His gaze was deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything. At this moment, he looked at everyone expressionlessly, and the entire conference room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Ping Wei slowly began to speak, "Gentlemen, I have summoned you all here today to discuss matters concerning our future. Before the meeting begins, I hope everyone will maintain the proper respect and order."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly penetrating and impossible to ignore.

The young man with black hair and black eyes also became much more restrained under Ping Wei's watchful gaze.

Ping Wei continued, "In the time to come, I hope everyone can communicate frankly and work together to find a way out for our future."

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept over everyone present, as if trying to see through their thoughts.

Ping Wei a wave of his hand, Wei summoned identity cards in front of everyone who had already taken their seats, indicating the identities of each person present.

The young man who had spoken rudely to Lucius, the God of Light Divine Child, was none other than Dax, the successor of the Dark Lord God.

Dax saw his identity card standee, snorted coldly, and still wore that arrogant expression on his face.

Ping Wei looked at everyone and said, "Before the meeting officially begins, everyone can get to know each other first, and try not to have any conflicts. After the meeting officially begins, I will explain the purpose of this meeting in detail."

As soon as Wei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room eased slightly.

The group began to whisper among themselves, their eyes still filled with wariness.

Lucius whispered to Yun Xi, "Be careful, the people here are not simple."

Yun Xi nodded gently.

Dax sat there with a cold smile on his lips, seemingly unconcerned about Ping Wei's words.

At this moment, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes approached Lucius and Yun Xi, smiling and saying, "Son of the God of Light, and this... Your Highness, successor of the Goddess of Freedom, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am the successor of the Goddess of Life, named Ailiya."

Lucius responded politely, "Miss Ailiya, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Miss Ailiya, hello, I am Yun Xi."

As time went by, more and more people entered the conference room.

Without exception, everyone's eyes revealed the importance they attached to this meeting. Newcomers quickly found their seats, and the meeting room gradually became noisy.

Some chose to whisper with the people next to them, exchanging information about each other's recent situations; a few remained silent, simply observing their surroundings.

Looking at the ever-flowing crowd, Yun Xi lost in thought. She knew that the more people who came, the more important and complex this meeting would be.

Ping Wei sat in the main seat, watching all of this with a blank expression.

Finally, when the conference room was almost full and no new people were appearing, Ping Wei cleared his throat and said, "Alright, everyone, now that everyone is here, our meeting will officially begin."

Instantly, the conference room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ping Wei, waiting for him to speak next.

"Everyone, I'm sure you've all been told by the Chief God that you should try not to Becoming a God for the next thousand years, which is why we've been suppressing it until now."

Ping Wei glanced at everyone in the room and continued, "Previously, the Chief God Master asked us to try not to Becoming a God, precisely to prevent us from being corrupted by the Abnormal God when Becoming a God. But we can no longer suppress it. Before Becoming a God, we must find a way to solve this problem."

Ping Wei's expression grew increasingly solemn, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Once corrupted by the Abnormal God, everyone knows what the consequences will be. We absolutely cannot let our efforts over the past thousand years be destroyed in an instant."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and a tense atmosphere filled the conference room.

Yun Xi was quite surprised, as she was unaware of this news.

"I have already discovered the source of that Abnormal God's attack. It's because there is a loophole in the Abnormal Mysterious Realm. We need to find a way to plug this loophole."

"In this way, when we Becoming a God, we will have no worries whatsoever."

"However, the guardians of the Abnormal Mysterious Realm are too powerful... and the purpose of this meeting is to gather everyone together to go there and start the Mysterious Realm War."

Ping Wei's voice echoed in the conference room, and everyone's expressions became serious and heavy.

Lucius took a deep breath and said, "Ping Wei, since that's the case, we need to plan our battle strategy in detail, after all, the forces over there are definitely not to be underestimated."

Ping Wei nodded and said, "That's right, this is exactly the focus of our discussion next. We must fully understand the opponent's strength and strategy, allocate our manpower reasonably, and ensure that everything goes smoothly."

"We also need to consider the possibility of unexpected situations and make preparations accordingly," Ailiya said.

Everyone shared their opinions, and the meeting room was filled with lively discussion.

Ping Wei raised his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Everyone, this operation of ours must succeed; failure is not an option. This is not only about our personal path to Becoming a God, but also about the future of humanity on the entire Godfall Continent."

After saying this, Ping Wei glanced at everyone with a warning look.

"I know that we may have had some disagreements in the past, but this Mysterious Realm War is related to each of our paths to Becoming a God, and there can be no mistakes."
