At the God Realm Committee, the atmosphere around the round table was as heavy as still water.
Qian Xunji looked around at the God Kings and spoke gravely:
"Exactly. From the moment they learned of the Surface World's existence, they never considered peaceful development or mutual benefit. When the two worlds meet, there can be only one outcome: devouring and plunder."
He paused, tapping the tabletop with a fingertip:
"So even if we send a First-Level God this time, the journey will undoubtedly be fraught with danger. The slightest misstep could mean losing them there."
The God King of Destruction knitted his brows, purple-black divine power faintly pulsing around him:
"But even so, are we supposed to sit here and wait against our will? If the other side makes no move, how long must we wait?"
"Whether a God Official, a First-Level God, or even one of the God Kings seated here goes over, anyone who ventures there alone will be at a disadvantage," Qian Xunji explained:
"At present, where the two worlds intersect, only the Realm Gate outside the Star Luo Empire has a passage capable of allowing a First-Level God through. Precisely for that reason, both we and they are certain to guard it heavily. Whoever crosses first will be the first to walk into the other side's trap."
The God Kings nodded slightly after hearing this. The Realm Gate outside the Star Luo Empire was now a deadlock. Whoever went first would face the entire opposing Divine Realm head-on, naturally putting them at a disadvantage.
Going might even amount to delivering intelligence to the other side. After all, the God Officials sent before had been weak; even if captured alive, there would have been little information to extract from them. A First-Level God, however, was another matter
