Wen Yu's plan to undermine the enemy was indeed ruthless, but he provided an escape route—if they left the control of the celestial god and joined Beijing, everything would remain largely unchanged.
In Wen Yu and Lin Haifeng's vision, this move could inflict significant losses on the celestial god's forces; at least a small portion of the mutated beasts and most of the professionals affiliated with the celestial god would surely switch sides. From then on, the celestial god would no longer have the capital to compete with Beijing.
As for the Earth's will? Sorry, but Wen Yu and Lin Haifeng hadn’t even considered that aspect—once the level restraint was broken, who would be the most impacted? Everyone! Once no one remained, the Earth's will would naturally perish. In Lin Haifeng and Wen Yu's expectation, regarding the level restraint, the Earth's will—no, all life on Earth—would inevitably stand on the same front line! Assuming this premise, the final outcome of the plan could only be the disintegration of the celestial god's forces.
But everyone had missed a crucial point.
The Earth's will was more than happy to see the level restraint break as quickly as possible!
Wen Yu understood the spirit of the demon lord's methods, but he never imagined that his Mother Earth would directly surrender without even trying to resist...
If Wen Yu's plan struck at the celestial god's vital point, then the Earth's will’s action was like flipping the table!
Everyone was doomed!
No, it should be said that I gained my freedom while all of you are finished!
At this moment, no one understood the underlying causes and consequences better than the celestial god…
He didn't know why the Earth's will didn't care about the level restraint issue, nor did he understand why the Earth's will acted this way. However, recalling certain secrets about level eleven and his previous communications with the treasure land guardian, after a moment's thought, the celestial god silently nodded.
"I know what to do now..."
"I look forward to your good news," the Earth's will said, and then fell silent while the celestial god turned and left the Earth's core origin.
It wasn't until the celestial god had left that the Earth's will finally inquired into the air.
"Can what you said really work?"
"Hehehe... Who knows? Anyway, trying it out can't hurt, right?"
"It would be best if it works out; if not, you'll have to wait until the eighth-level restraint is lifted to find another opportunity."
"As for the matter we discussed earlier..."
"Don't worry, once the eighth-level restraint is lifted, I will definitely mobilize a large force to eradicate the factions affiliated with Beijing in the layered battlefield. My subordinates are far more reliable than the ones you have in mind..."
"That's good."
...
The celestial god returned to his residence from the Earth's core origin. He sat in a chair, thinking for a long time, and after a while, he trembled as he picked up the communication device and dialed a familiar yet strange number.
"Beep... Beep..."
As the busy tone sounded, after a moment, the communication device was finally connected.
"It's me. So, have you come to beg for mercy?"
The familiar voice of Lin Haifeng came through the communicator. The celestial god remained silent for a while before finally smiling.
After a brief period of deliberation, what initially seemed like a difficult decision now felt much easier.
"It's not begging for mercy; it's a threat... Now, I represent over ninety percent of the mutated beast community to issue you a final ultimatum: lift the ban on the main battlefield and allow my subordinates to re-enter the city! Otherwise, you will face total war with me!"
It was a simple ultimatum, yet the determination in the celestial god's tone left Lin Haifeng utterly speechless.
"Are you crazy?"
In that moment, Lin Haifeng's tone grew agitated—he could imagine how terrifying the consequences of such a situation would be.
"I'm not crazy; I'm just stating a fact. You made a terrible move this time! You shouldn't have blocked access to the main battlefield..."
