The Emergence of a Genius, a Petty Mind

Di Tian's breathing grew more and more rapid. "Was it worth it? My Lord, was everything you did for him worth it?"

"Was it worth it?" she murmured. "His safety and well-being are all I wish for."

"Di Tian, thank you for accompanying me all this way. Now, will you accompany me through the final stretch?"

"No. No!" Di Tian shook his head violently, then quickly walked out of the cave.

Outside, Di Tian's face was dark, his eyes slightly bloodshot. His furious roar echoed through the sky as he swung both arms, extending his claws. The black dragon claws severed everything around him!

"It's all because of you! It's all your fault, Tang Wulin!"

Di Tian instantly revealed his true form, the black giant dragon roaring endlessly amid the clouds!

Yet no matter how furious he was, nothing could be changed now.

Perhaps because everyone's nerves were stretched taut, the next three days felt as though three years had passed.

Skycrosser Douluo of Shrek Academy said that, judging by the rate at which the formation's energy had weakened over the past three days, it could hold out for no more than another two days.

And after those two days, the Golden Dragon King would break through the seal.

The powerhouses of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Spirit Pagoda had all arrived at the Federation headquarters in Mingdu to discuss their course of action.

But without exception, humanity's morale had already collapsed. Even these powerhouses drifted off from time to time.

"This is Federation headquarters. I am Cang Tianming." Cang Tianming received a call that seemed to have come from the front lines.

A moment later, Cang Tianming hung up with a grim expression.

"What did they say?" the chairman asked wearily.

Cang Tianming sighed. "News from the front lines: more than seventy percent of the cities on the fourth and fifth lines have been completely wiped out."

"The energy reserves of several other major cities are also about to run dry."

"In three days, more than forty million people have already died!"

"Forty million!" Hearing that number, the chairman clenched his fists. His nails pierced his palms until they bled, yet he did not even notice.

"That isn't even the worst news." Cang Tianming's face turned pale as he continued, "Major cities have larger populations. Once they can no longer maintain their defensive shields, the casualties will only increase!"

The Divine Dragon Legion's destructive power was actually inferior to that of the Golden Dragon Blood Rain.

Even Mingdu's defenses could only withstand the Golden Dragon Blood Rain for three and a half hours.

But against the Divine Dragon Legion, Mingdu had held on for three days and still had half of its energy reserves left.

Why, then, were these powerhouses still sitting here at a time like this?

The answer was that the Dragon Clan seemed to have reached some sort of tacit agreement. As long as humanity did not deploy its powerhouses, the strongest dragons attacking the major cities would only be at the level of human Super Douluos.

But if human powerhouses joined the defense, then those Dragon Clan entities at least at the level of Limit Douluos, or even God Level, would directly enter the battlefield.

And once God Level dragons acted, casualties would only mount faster.

Under such circumstances, this was already the approach that minimized deaths.

Thus, humanity's powerhouses had the will to act, but could not.

In other words, the Dragon Clan had already fixed its attention on humanity's top experts.

At a seat on the left, Qian Gu Dongfeng frowned deeply, not knowing what he was thinking.

In this timeline, Shrek Academy had not been destroyed. Gu Yuena's matter involving the Beast Platform still required the Qiangu Clan as cover, so the Qiangu Clan had naturally not fallen from power.

Qian Gu Dongfeng slowly said, "Everyone needn't be so pessimistic. After all, my father broke through to God Level a few days ago, and I have also reached the God Level tier. It isn't as if we have no good news."

"Tower Master Qian Gu," Xie Xie said, "this isn't the past anymore. Two God Level powerhouses simply do not possess the ability to turn the tide of this battle."

"If we cannot awaken Boss, then no matter how many God Level powerhouses we have, it will be useless."

Xie Xie's tone was far from pleasant. For some reason, over the past few days, he had dreamed that Shrek Academy had been blown up.

And Qian Gu Dongfeng had appeared behind it all.

That made Xie Xie feel an intense disgust toward him.

Hearing Xie Xie say this, Qian Gu Dongfeng did not get angry. He merely smiled. "True enough. After all, Beast God Di Tian, Heartless, Passion, Light and Darkness, Sea God, and all those other Your Excellencies—who among them was not at the peak of God Level?"

"But now, some are dead and some have fled. Shrek and the Tang Sect have suffered no small losses."

Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled amiably, but his words were rather nauseating.

Qian Gu Dongfeng and his father had been in seclusion the entire time before. They had not emerged when the great battle took place, only coming out over the past two days, when the Golden Dragon King had already been sealed.

Therefore, he had never truly witnessed the Golden Dragon King's strength. As for that power said to surpass the gods of this world, he did not believe a single word of it.

He had watched the videos as well, but he still believed they had been exaggerated.

The fact that these powerhouses could sit here now meant the situation had not yet reached its most critical point.

They had been sitting here with long faces all this time, merely trying to make the Spirit Pagoda contribute more to this war. That had to be it.

I saw through your tricks long ago. Heartless and the others supposedly became gods? They keep talking about so many gods, but when had I ever seen one?

Besides, weren't gods supposed to be invincible? How could they have fallen?

Still, it was said that Gu Yuena's strength had also reached the God Level tier, yet she was now nowhere to be found. Rumor had it that she was severely injured and likely would not survive.

What a pity, Qian Gu Dongfeng inwardly sighed. Otherwise, with Gu Yuena included, the Spirit Pagoda would have been the strongest organization.

But even now, the Spirit Pagoda seemed to be the strongest faction.

After all, with two gods in one sect, did that not crush every other force?

Shrek Academy only had Skycrosser Douluo, a single Ultimate Douluo, while the Tang Sect no longer even had an Ultimate Douluo.

No matter how strong Skycrosser Douluo was, he could not possibly be a match for Qian Gu Dongfeng and his father.

Mm, not bad. Qian Gu Dongfeng reached this conclusion in a very short time.

Still, it truly was somewhat inappropriate for Qian Gu Dongfeng to mention Heartless Douluo and the others.

Several Spirit Pagoda powerhouses could not help but curse inwardly, What kind of idiot keeps bringing up the very thing no one wants to mention?

Why had the Spirit Pagoda chosen something like him as its tower master?

Without a doubt, if anyone learned what Qian Gu Dongfeng was thinking at this moment, no one else would need to act. The Spirit Pagoda's own powerhouses would have punched him.

Wasn't this guy just brain-dead?

At a time like this, he was still being so petty?

Could someone like this really be a leader?
