Zhao Hai sat quietly in the space, with Laura and the others sitting beside him. They were currently outside the villa, with a small table set up on the grass, a chair placed next to it, and a pot of Kaya on the table. Not far behind them stood two Trees of Life. "If it weren't for the divine race and demon clan outside, how beautiful this little life would be."
However, Zhao Hai was not in the mood to enjoy his wonderful life. In fact, he was seeking revenge due to the prophecy from the Elven Race. After returning to the space from the Elven Race, he increasingly felt that the prophecy was not that simple.
In the prophecy, light and darkness referred to the divine race and demon clan, which he could understand. But did the skeleton and steel truly refer to undead beings and magic cannons? Zhao Hai felt that something was not quite right.
Yet, Zhao Hai couldn't figure out the true meaning of it all. In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh. Laura, seeing Zhao Hai's demeanor, spoke with a pained expression, "Alright, Brother Hai, don't think about it anymore. The people over at Mountain Like City have already advanced to level eight. Shouldn't we proceed with our next plan?"
Zhao Hai was brought back to reality by Laura's words. He turned to Laura, nodded, and said, "Yes, we should move on to the next step. Who do you think we should turn into a ninth-level expert first?"
Laura thought for a moment and said, "If I were to choose, I would choose the Elven Race." Both Princess Li and Meigen also nodded in agreement. Zhao Hai looked at the three of them and smiled slightly, "So, what’s your reasoning?"
Laura explained, "The Elven Race is the best at using Blood Thunder Pearls. Their harp archers can maximize the power of the Blood Thunder Pearls. Given the current situation with the divine race, it seems they won't attack immediately. This is the perfect time to elevate the Elven Race’s strength. That way, even if the divine race does attack later, the Elven Race can become a significant support for you."
Princess Li and Meigen nodded in agreement. Princess Li added, "Right now, we don't have many weapons against the divine race, and the magic cannon goes without saying; it’s best suited for the human race. The Blood Thunder Pearl is different, though. The orc tribe can only throw the Blood Thunder Pearl by hand. Not only does that limit the distance, but the frequency of usage is also heavily affected. The dwarf clan is in a similar situation; both are more suited for frontline combat units. The Elven Race, however, is the most suitable for ranged combat, especially with their harp archers combined with the Blood Thunder Pearls, which can become a significant weapon. Their continuous and concentrated attacks are not something ordinary people can achieve."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Exactly, then it's settled. I'll first work on enhancing the Elven Race's levels and let the others know to quickly elevate their people to level nine. When I last visited the Elven Race, I already told the queen not to disturb the senior elders of the Elven Race during their cultivation. Those senior elders are very powerful, and given the Elven Race's long lifespan, many senior elders might break through to divine-level on their own. The queen has agreed. By the way, you should also inform the various races in the continent so that those ninth-level experts who have cultivated themselves can also engage in more thorough cultivation. They might even break through to divine-level. As for those who have reached level nine through potions, we should prepare them for battle. Only through numerous battles can they truly unleash their full strength as ninth-level experts and gradually ascend to divine-level."
Laura and the others nodded. There were quite a few ninth-level experts on the continent, but most of them were elevated through Zhao Hai's space. There weren’t many who had truly cultivated to level nine on their own, and for those raised through space, breaking through to divine-level would be challenging.
