Chapter 49: So... how about... I leave you a child...
As soon as the press conference hosted by the Emperor Abyss Group, aimed at all of humanity and evolved creatures, was released.
It caused a huge uproar, both among humans and evolved creatures.
The world's strongest superhuman organizations, the Emperor Abyss Group, White Blood Group, War God Group, Sky Sun Group, and Sky Wolf Group, all contacted Chu Yuan immediately to inquire about the truth of the matter.
Before, they didn't believe it because Chu Yuan hadn't made such a big fuss. They all thought he wanted to use them to eliminate Gu Qijue.
But now, things were different.
They all saw the seriousness of the situation.
"Everyone, Chu is not joking about this matter. In seven days, a powerful being from the deep sea will step onto land to deal with Gu Qijue. We cannot stand idly by. To prevent him from escaping after being severely injured, we must be present."
Within the Emperor Abyss Group, Chu Yuan was talking with the leaders of the four major powers above via projection.
The President of the Sky Sun Group said lazily, "Is the strong being coming from the deep sea more powerful than us?"
The Old Turtle next to him sneered, "It's not that I look down on you, but in front of that existence, you are at most children."
"Then why summon us? Why not let that being from the deep sea kill him directly? Why waste our time?" the President of the Sky Wolf Group sneered.
"You old turtle, shut up!"
Chu Yuan was also annoyed by the Old Turtle's words. He said to everyone, "Don't listen to this old turtle's nonsense. We still need to unite. The three old ancestors of Dragon Cloud Mountain will also take action then. Do you still have any doubts?"
"Is there any other way to resolve this matter? For example, talk to Gu Qijue. Didn't you say he is one with the Main Star-Sucking Tree? If he can control that tree, wouldn't all this be resolved?" the President of the War God Group said slowly.
The Old Turtle interjected, "You're thinking too simply. He can't control that tree. Only death!"
The President of the War God Group sneered, "You haven't even tried, and you're so sure. It's truly laughable."
Chu Yuan said, "I agree with the Old Turtle. He has no enmity with Gu Qijue. There's no need for him to frame him."
"Indeed!"
The Presidents of the Sky Sun Group, Sky Wolf Group, and White Blood Group all nodded in agreement.
Chu Yuan smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, what do you all say?"
"What else can we say? In five days, I will personally lead a group of strong individuals there!"
"Same here. We have to deal with Gu Qijue."
"Then it's settled for five days later! See you then!"
"Alright!"
The President of the War God Group, Oroska, sighed helplessly.
The Old Turtle said, "I'll go back to the ocean and invite those two Rank 8 Calamity-tier Beast Kings as well."
The five strongest superhuman organizations among humans thus formed an alliance.
In the Yun City shelter, batches of Super Martial Artists departed.
To go against the whole world was too crazy, too suicidal. Although they knew Gu Qijue was strong, they couldn't go to their deaths with him.
In the end, the only ones who chose to stay by Gu Qijue's side were:
Ji Shang, White Fox, Zhao Hu, Zhu Hongyu, Xu Qing, Meng Bao, Scarlet Emperor, Bai Jingyi, Su Qian, Wu Jiao, Lu Hao, Wu Hai, Tang Huang...
Huolin Nana also chose not to leave, preparing to fight to the death with Gu Qijue.
Gu Qijue left this shelter today.
He brought everyone and one million Star Fruits to Mu Qingxue's shelter.
"Everyone, this battle is against the strong individuals of the entire world. I am prepared to die. You... can actually leave completely."
In the central villa hall, Gu Qijue looked at everyone and said softly.
"Sister Nana told us everything. Since they won't let Brother Black Dragon go, we are willing to face all the strong enemies with you. If we die, we die! This world is going to be destroyed anyway," Meng Bao said with a carefree laugh.
"Right! Let's just fight! Who's afraid of whom!" the Scarlet Emperor said, patting his chest.
"They won't even give us a chance, so let's take a piece of their flesh before we die," Ji Shang said fiercely.
"Heh, dying early or dying late, we're all going to die anyway. Might as well die gloriously with the boss." Zhao Hu chuckled.
"President Gu, stop trying to persuade us to leave. If we wanted to leave, we would have left long ago," Bai Jingyi said with a smile.
Gu Qijue shook his head, "To be honest, there's no need!"
"Boss, no matter what you say, we won't leave you alone."
Wu Jiao shook her head, "Although we haven't been together for long, you've never been stingy with us, never treated us as cannon fodder. If we die, we die together!"
The White Fox gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Black Dragon, you never thought of opposing them, but why has he always refused to let you go? Then let's destroy everything together!"
What she said was absolutely correct.
Gu Qijue had never actively provoked them, but they regarded him as a threat to humanity...
Seeing their determination, Gu Qijue no longer tried to persuade them. He chuckled softly, "Alright, then we will fight all the top powerhouses in this world together. Eat as much of the one million Star Fruits in the warehouse as you can. If we die, we won't die kneeling!"
"Let's go! Before the bloody battle arrives, let's improve ourselves as much as we can!"
"Let's see who eats faster."
"Haha!"
Everyone left, laughing and chatting, heading to the warehouse.
They were preparing for a fight to the death against the world's top powerhouses.
Over a million Star Fruits would allow them all to improve significantly.
However, the higher the rank and star level, the more immense the energy required.
After Gu Qijue reached the eighth rank, his body felt like a bottomless pit.
When they reached that level, it would surely be similar for them.
Huolin Nana stayed behind and didn't leave.
Gu Qijue looked at her without speaking.
Huolin Nana sighed, "The War God Group will also be participating in the siege against us... The President wants me to return."
Gu Qijue lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag, and said, "You should go! If I die in battle, ensure Ji Shang and the others survive..."
Huolin Nana gave a wry smile, "Aren't we all going to die anyway? It's just a matter of sooner or later."
"There's always some hope, isn't there? If I truly fall in battle, don't let them be sad. I shouldn't have existed in this world anyway. Afterward, you should communicate more with that Main Star-Sucking Tree. It... might be able to take you away when this Star Blue Continent perishes..."
Gu Qijue's words were calm. He continued, "If I can kill all the beings who besiege me before I die, I will hand over Mu Yuxin's severed palm, and you can use it to destroy that Main Star-Sucking Tree."
Gu Qijue harbored no hostility towards humans. Never had.
But the super-powered individuals among humans had repeatedly provoked him, even wanting to use him as a test subject.
He felt helpless and could only fight to the bitter end.
"Then... how about... I leave you a child..." Huolin Nana trailed off.
Hearing her words, Gu Qijue teased, "What, have you fallen for me?"
"Don't get the wrong idea. I just wanted to leave you an heir. Since you don't want it, then forget it."
Huolin Nana's delicate face flushed, and she turned and walked away quickly.
Gu Qijue sat on the sofa, quietly smoking his cigarette.
The image below shows what Gu Qijue looks like.
