"Baisuo, that's enough, calm down!"
A cold rebuke resounded throughout the hall, accompanied by the appearance of a kind-faced old man from the Guta People. His gentle and refined demeanor made people want to get close to him, exuding charm.
"Old Mudatuo..."
The high-ranking officials of the Guta Federation present were startled and quickly bowed to express their respect.
Indeed, the newcomer was none other than the Primordial Evil God, Diorus, only he had taken the form of the Sun Eclipser, Baliewei Krashov.
In fact, the Baliewei disguised as Diorus was more like the latter's true appearance than the gray-cloaked man who looked like a major villain.
"Grandfather, are you going to stop me too?!" Baisuo stood firm, his pupils bloodshot, as if he had lost his mind.
Diorus was speechless. Had this guy been blinded by demonic energy? How dare he yell at him?!
The weakness of evil forces lies in this: uncontrollable negative emotions can easily cause people to lose their minds. So sometimes, the mind-numbing actions of villains are not incomprehensible, after all, their brains may have already broken down.
So, under everyone's gaze, ' Baliewei's' expression turned cold, and he slapped his grandson across the face, taking the opportunity to inject his power into Baisuo's body.
To outsiders, Mudatuo, who had been furiously about to tear his grandfather apart and put on a show of filial piety, was brought back to his senses by the slap. His eyes instantly became clear, though... perhaps a little too clear.
"Grandfather..." Baisuo stared blankly at ' Baliewei ', his tone slow, like a mentally challenged child, making one wonder if that slap had wiped out all his brain cells.
Rubbing his temples, ' Baliewei ' said, "We can't start a war now. Our preparations aren't complete. Although the Ta Pound system is showing signs of collapse, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. Before its final collapse, it can still help the Federation acquire a considerable amount of resources without risk..."
' Baliewei's' words made the ministers who still had some sense of reason in the room light up, and they nodded in agreement.
Although the new Mudatuo has become somewhat unreliable lately, impatient, violent, and prone to killing, the old Mudatuo is still quite dependable. What's most commendable is that he can keep his grandson in check and prevent him from causing trouble.
With the accumulated strength of the Guta Federation over thousands of years, as long as they don't act recklessly and there are no unexpected factors, sweeping across the Elven Plane and achieving unification shouldn't be a big problem.
It should be noted Demigod, on the surface, the Guta Federation has over five hundred Demigod.
This is only what's on the surface. The Guta Federation has many similar covert forces, such as the Ashes Organization, and a significant portion of them are even located in the Astral Realm.
After all, they were half of Elven's mother race. The Guta Federation had already established a presence in the Astral Realm thousands of years ago, secretly controlling many enterprises in the Prado Universe System and reaping huge profits.
Needless to say, in terms of technology, with the Guta Federation's "crystal technology," only the Veyin Empire and the Saila Empire in the entire Elven Plane can slightly rival it; no other country can compete!
The obstacle to the Guta Federation's unification of the Elven Plane has never been the strength of external enemies, but rather the kind nature of the Guta Star People.
These kind-hearted little beings deeply abhor invading other races. Under the overwhelming public pressure, even if a ruthless Mudatuo occasionally emerges who wants to unify the plane, he is powerless to stop it.
As the saying goes, power ultimately depends on the will of the people.
Without the support of other tribesmen, even Mudatuo, the supreme leader of the Guta Federation, was powerless.
However, as the Baliewei mental transformation project progressed, under the influence of the Divine Power, the soul essence of the Guta Star People gradually changed from good to evil.
Those fine virtues, like a faint flame in the biting cold wind, gradually died out, leaving only boundless darkness.
Diorus surveyed the people in the conference room, his eyes filled with nothing but indifference.
"As expected, my power is still too weak. The overall Fortune of the Guta Star People is too vast. To completely influence them and transform them all into demonic servants, it will take at least six or seven years..."
Before the transformation was fully completed, Diorus did not even dare to reveal his identity publicly.
Although rumors are circulating in the Elven Plane that Ashes is the Black Glove of the Guta Federation, these rumors will never be accepted into the open as long as Diorus does not appear in the public eye.
The good reputation that the Guta Star People have accumulated over thousands of years, and their prestige that crushes all other forces, is their best shield.
Although many forces are changing their perception of the Guta Star People, change takes time. A population of trillions of intelligent life forms is undoubtedly a huge ship, and huge ships are often difficult to turn around.
Therefore, Logo never imagined that simply revealing the relationship between Ashes and the Guta Federation would incite other forces to rise up and besiege the latter.
That's a pipe dream. In fact, deliberately promoting it might backfire. What if those forces are scared off and end up siding with the Guta Federation?
What? You say evil gods are scary?
Who knows if you're lying to us! Maybe you're plotting something!
People are always skeptical of things they haven't seen before; the saying "it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words" illustrates this point.
Every intelligent life form has independent thought and is not a puppet to be manipulated.
This situation has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that when faced with a deadly threat, people dare to stand up and fight back, and many admirable Champion will emerge.
The downside is that it's difficult to unite before the danger fully materializes, as people always feel that others will harm them.
Logo saw this clearly, and so did Diorus, the King of Ashes held the power of mind and darkness. So he didn't even bother with the Serpent Ring Family of Planet Pandora, letting them spread the relevant information without caring at all.
There are still about ten years before the land is ready to be cultivated. In that short time, no matter how much you promote it, it's already too late.
Neither the Ringed Serpent, nor the Gendaya Royal Court, nor the Veyin Empire were taken seriously by Diorus. In the eyes of this evil god, these forces would sooner or later become nourishment for His restoration of power.
There were only two people who made Diorus even slightly wary.
One was named Logo, and the other was named Lancelot.
Of these two, the former wields the God-Hunting Spear, which can inflict fatal damage on the current Diorus, so Diorus rarely approaches the Holy Knight Star and the Planet Oklo. The King of Ashes, who was taught by Tibeici to be the Queen of Gods, has steadiness ingrained in his very bones.
The latter is the Earth Guardian class, which is the class that Diorus was banished from. He certainly understands the power of the Earth Guardian.
Diorus wasn't worried about Lancelot bringing over a God Level "Plane Warden." Based on his understanding of the Earth Guardian, such a thing was almost impossible. More accurately, that kid named Lancelot didn't have the ability to bring over God Level "guardian."
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy.
The World Destroyer would naturally study their natural enemy, the Earth Guardian, thoroughly, and thus Diorus knew a great deal of information about the Earth Guardian that was difficult for outsiders to obtain.
It was different from what most beings in the Astral Realm imagined.
The relationship between the Earth Guardian is not close; in fact, it is quite distant.
Similar to bounty hunters who are not under each other's command.
The already small group of cats and cats was scattered throughout the entire Astral Realm, and apart from exchanging a few words under the Dome of the Stars, they rarely had any real-world interaction.
The Earth Guardian ' basic principle is to do things for money.
Saving the world is often for the sake of Primeval Stone, and also depends on one's own will.
Tibeici relentlessly pursued Diorus not because the latter was World Destroyer.
There are plenty of World Destroyer out there, and unless they have a mission, they generally don't bother with them. Only after a target has been eliminated will a guardian move on to the next one. This is an experience that generations of guardians have learned through blood and tears.
The reason the two God Level powerhouses fought to the death was largely due to Diorus's foul mouth. He actually mocked Tibeici to his face and used very vulgar language. Tibeici, who was short-tempered and lacked verbal skills, couldn't win the argument, so he chose to settle things with his fists. He attacked fiercely and quickly got angry, and then chased after Tibbets all the way.
However, Diorus was Indestructible System Primordial Evil God with an extremely strong ability to survive. In the end, it was Tibeici, who had been in the lead the whole time, who couldn't hold on any longer and had to sacrifice his life to banish him Eternity.
It sounds hasty and doesn't fit Tibeici's image of saving the world. In reality, this is the true Earth Guardian, not the selfless Saint that people imagine.
In short, the Earth Guardian are not good people in the traditional sense. On the contrary, they are generally villains who can fight to a standstill with the most vicious people in the Astral Realm.
According to conventional morality, the Earth Guardian should be classified as "Chaotic Neutral," well... a tiny bit evil, I suppose...
From the perspective of the World Will, the guardians are all good people, darlings.
As the saying goes, you must first have a stance before you can distinguish between good and evil.
Therefore, the amount of Primeval Stone required to request God Level Earth Guardian to travel across the universe to provide support would be extremely high, and those below the God Level would basically be unable to afford it.
