Bab 34: The Round Table Conference Begins!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While the world was being shocked by the newest rankings...
The world's strongest factions' leaders were completely oblivious to the newest rankings.
They were participating in the Round Table Conference.
The so-called Round Table Conference was actually a virtual conference with the highest level of encryption.
Half an hour ago...
In a highly confidential conference room, several projected figures were sitting upright on chairs.
Every person present was a Saint Stage powerhouse.
Even Peak Stage 9 beast tamers were forbidden from participating in the conference.
"We're gathered here due to the threat of a common enemy. I believe that it's time for us to unite."
Horace Julius sat at the head of the table, presiding over the meeting.
"Horace Julius, that's easy for you to say."
Bridgestone was the first to speak. No one could tell whether they were feeling happy or angry.
"In the past, it was also the god of your Oguapu Palace who took the lead in planning everything. In the end, he took the majority of the benefits. Does the Oguapu Palace intend on repeating the same trick again?"
At the mention of this, the expressions of the many powerhouses immediately turned cold.
A secret piece of information from the Era of the Gods was revealed.
Back then, the rebel army's gods were a cut above the rest, and they were the dominated over all the other gods.
Not a single god had dared to confront them individually.
It was rumored that at that time, the triple alliance of gods from the Weizhou Bao Temple, the La Powo palace, and the Aramborg Church was formed to confront the rebel army's god.
In the end, the alliance failed, and they were single-handedly defeated by the rebel army's god.
Later on, the gods from the Oguapu Palace took the lead and gathered forces to massacre all the gods from the rebel army.
Naturally, although the plan was perfect, the gods of the rebel organization launched a desperate counterattack at the last moment.
All the gods were severely injured.
There was no exception.
Thus resulted the Fall of the Gods.
These fragments of knowledge were passed from mouth to mouth by the heads of the major factions, and as a result, the information was not comprehensive.
Nevertheless, it still made everyone very horrified.
It was to the extent that they employed all sorts of tactics to suppress the rebel army.
They were afraid that one day, the situation from the Fall of the Gods would repeat itself.
"Hehe! Calm down, Bridgestone."
Horace Julius did not have any dissatisfaction towards Bridgestone's questioning. Instead, he had a grin on his face.
"Naturally, the Oguapu Palace will participate in the operation. Moreover, we've even gained Dragon City as an ally. Their formidable army of dragons will be joining us in battle."
"How is it? Is this sincere enough for all of you?"
"It is not!"
Braddock frowned and shook his head.
"We all know a thing or two about the secrets from the Fall of Gods. This time, if we're going to attack the rebel army, we need to consider all the hidden factors."
Braddock's voice paused slightly as he looked at the other figures around him.
"Joe is one such factor. Unless we find a method to deal with him, the risk of taking action is just too great."
"That's right. We still have no clue who Joe is at the moment. We still don't know what is his affiliation with the rebel army."
Zacarias nodded in agreement.
"Just the appearance of his divine beasts is enough to throw a wrench in our plans. Furthermore, his strength must be unimaginable."
Seeing everyone filled with doubt and worry, Horace Julius' eyes narrowed slightly.
He had underestimated their intelligence.
He wanted to reap the benefits from the operation, but at the same time, he did not wish to be at the forefront.
He was hoping for too much.
"Enough!"
Horace Julius suddenly snorted coldly, instantly silencing the entire round table.
"The crisis of the rebel organization is not just talk. Once they've grown big, they will learn the truth of the past sooner or later."
"Once that happens, only hell awaits us."
Horace Julius knew that he needed to produce a substantial threat to gain the other factions' cooperation.
"Don't think that I'm unaware of the secrets you're hiding."
"Horace Julius, what do you mean by this?"
The First Elder of the Aramborg Religion responded in a hoarse voice.
"Hmph, what do you mean?"
Horace Julius swept his gaze across everyone. "Although the gods have become a thing of the past, don't tell me that the divine artifacts that they left behind have turned into dust!"
"What?"
Upon hearing Horace Julius' words, everyone's expression changed, and they instantly fell silent.
That's right...
How glorious was the Era of the Gods of the Blue Planet, you ask?
The foundations left behind by the gods were definitely not that simple.
Just looking at the expressions of the various elders present had told Horace all he needed to know. The number of divine artifacts that were left behind by the gods were by no means small.
"Although we cannot replicate the power of the gods with the divine artifacts we possess, we can still reach a demigod-level of strength."
Horace Julius said calmly, "With all these divine artifacts in our arsenal, how can the rebel army even put up a fight against us."
"Use the divine artifacts?"
Bridgestone snorted coldly.
"Horace Julius, do you know the purpose of the divine artifacts that the gods have left behind for us? You actually want to use them now?"
"Indeed. Those divine artifacts are the only connection between the gods and the present world. Once we consume too much of their power, the gods will lose all possibility of revival."
"Are you trying to make us use up all the artifacts' powers so that the Oguapu Palace can gain the upper hand?"
No one present was an idiot.
They would never let down their guard against the Oguapo Palace.
Horace Julius knew this better than anyone else.
A smile appeared on his face as he threw out his biggest bargaining chip.
"Everyone, the reason why you're unwilling to use the divine artifacts is because you're afraid that it would affect the revival of your gods, right?"
The smile on his face became wider and wider.
"However, do you know that before the gods made their plans, they worked together to forge an extremely powerful divine artifact?"
"A divine artifact that they worked together to create?"
Everyone's expression froze as they fell into deep thought.
Suddenly...
A look of shock appeared on Braddock's face as he exclaimed.
"You mean, the Ancient Mirror of the Gods?"
"What? It's the Ancient Mirror of the Gods?"
"The legendary divine artifact that is capable of reviving the gods? Their last resort?"
Hearing these four words, everyone was immediately shocked.
The Ancient Mirror of the Gods was a powerful divine artifact that the gods had jointly forged during the Era of the Gods.
It was said that the ancient mirror contained the remnants of the true spirits of all the gods from the major factions.
Once it was activated, it could completely communicate with the river of time and space and pull the gods back from the river of time and space.
It was extremely heaven-defying.
At the same time, it was also the greatest trump card that they had left behind.
However, ever since the Fall of the Gods, the Ancient Mirror of the Gods had disappeared.
They had no way of relocating it.
"So, you found the Ancient Mirror of the Gods?"
Everyone looked at Horace Julius with anticipation. They wanted to know whether the mirror had truly existed.
