Chapter 103: The Ambitions of the Human Race
Who would want to enjoy such a heaven-shaking opportunity alone?
If they really notified the floating God Island, would they still get a share?
Definitely not.
“Our Misty clan can’t take this cave abode alone. Let’s inform the other sects first and discuss it later.”
How could he not understand this logic? The Misty clan was too weak.
Perhaps the human race was one of the top sects, but on the floating God Island, there were many forces that were stronger than the Misty clan. There were also many forces that were stronger than the entire human race in the New World.
A little carelessness could bring disaster to the Misty clan and even the human race.
Soon, the other eleven peak mages of the human race arrived at the scene. Now the twelve peak archmages were all gathered.
“What do you think we should do?” Jie said in a deep voice.
“If we monopolize this opportunity, once the Earth God’s cave abode is opened, the twelve of us might have a great chance to become ultimate archmages. By then, even if the floating God Island finds out, the human race would already have many ultimate archmages. They wouldn’t dare to casually attack us.”
The master of the scorching sun sect, Tian, trembled slightly as he spoke in an extremely excited tone.
“That’s right. How can we give up on such an opportunity? Why don’t we fight for it? How can we be satisfied?”
“Whether or not we humans can rise up from this depends on this one time.”
“What if it’s not the Earth God’s Cave Abode?”
“Regardless of whether it’s the Earth God’s cave abode or not, this will definitely involve a great opportunity. We can’t give it up.”
“Risk and opportunity coexist. We, humans, have struggled in this New World for so many years. If we can’t seize this opportunity, we’ll really be reduced to a marginal race. We’ll never be able to talk to those powerful forces on an equal footing.”
The other peak archmages spoke one after another.
Most of them felt that they had to monopolize this opportunity. Only a few peak archmages were worried.
Suddenly, the master of White Moon Palace said, “If we decide to enjoy this opportunity alone, should we inform that human ultimate archmage in the Old World?”
Jie was the first to speak.
“I suggest that we inform that human ultimate archmage. He is the pillar of our human race. With one more ultimate archmage, our human race will have more confidence in fighting against the floating God Island. Moreover, that human ultimate archmage might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to advance further. That way, our human race will be even more powerful.”
The other ultimate archmages were not fools. They knew that at this time, only by uniting the human race would they be able to maximize their benefits and minimize the risk.
“Alright, we will inform that human ultimate archmage immediately.”
Soon, the twelve peak archmages had made their decision.
Next, apart from sending people to inform the human ultimate archmages in the Old World, they began to use various arrays to cover the Cloud Lake and prevent the anomalies from spreading. Only in this way could they minimize the probability of being discovered by other factions.
Unfortunately, they were destined to not be able to find Lei Luo.
Because Lei Luo was not in the Old World at all.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
The abnormal anomalies in Cloud Lake became more and more intense. All the human mages felt more uneasy.
Because they were already standing on the edge of the cliff, they could either ascend to the sky in one step or fall into the abyss. They had already staked the fate of the entire human race in the New World.
At this moment, the shaking of Cloud Lake was extremely intense. The waves rose to a height of several hundred meters. If it wasn’t for the large-scale array that had been set up in a radius of several thousand meters to isolate sound and waves, such a terrifying sound would probably be heard from a hundred kilometers away.
Boom!
Suddenly, a low rumbling sound seemed to come from Cloud Lake, followed by the sound of glass shattering one after another.
In the next moment, the entire rippling surface of the lake suddenly stopped, as if it had frozen.
It lasted for a moment before a shocking suction force was produced. The surface of the water fell at a shocking speed. In less than a few breaths’ time, the entire lake had completely disappeared.
What replaced it was a pitch-black hole with a diameter of over a hundred meters.
Cloud Lake’s water had been swallowed by this pitch-black hole.
Everyone was extremely shocked. Just then, an even more terrifying scene appeared. From the pitch-black hole, an intense glazed light suddenly erupted, forming a huge pillar of light that shot into the sky and tore through the clouds.
What kind of formation was this? Everything in front of this terrifying power was completely torn apart.
The shocking anomaly was clear for all to see.
“This?”
The many mages of the Human Mage Alliance were stunned.
Although they knew that there might be a huge anomaly, this had already completely exceeded their imagination.
All their previous efforts had been completely wasted.
“Quick, send someone up to test it out,” a peak archmage suddenly said.
As they did not know what danger this strange light pillar contained, they did not dare to rush up at once. They had to send someone up to test it out first.
Soon, an archmage volunteered. When he got close to the strange light pillar, he could not advance any further. It was as if there was a terrifying force stopping him from advancing.
In the end, he gave up.
When the twelve peak archmages saw this situation, they quickly went forward to try. However, they only took a few more steps than the archmage and could no longer enter.
At this moment, everyone felt cold.
This had actually stopped them from approaching?
Could it be that they were not strong enough?
“It can’t be that only ultimate archmages can enter, right?” someone said with a trembling voice.
The expressions of many human experts turned extremely ugly. It was a pity that they could not find that human ultimate archmage in the Old World. They also had no way to determine if only an ultimate archmage could enter.
Now, their plan to enter first to obtain the opportunity had completely failed.
The human race in the New World would also face a huge crisis. Such a terrifying anomaly could not be hidden.
Once the ultimate archmage of the floating God Island arrived, the human race would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Ten years ago, the floating God Island had given an order. If they did not carry it out, the entire human race would be punished.
“We are still too greedy. If we had reported it to the God Island, the human race would not be in such a predicament now.” Jie revealed a bitter expression.
The human race was bound to bear the blame of the floating God Island for this anomaly.
Even if the human race had an ultimate archmage, it was still useless.
