“Ha…” Wen Yu raised an eyebrow at the words but said nothing.
I believe this term is truly all-encompassing... but how things really are can't just be explained by what I believe.
What if it’s not as I think? Then it would be a disaster.
In fact, Lin Haifeng's words had crossed Wen Yu's mind before. He had suspected that the earth's will might not be able to act against him—but suspicion is only suspicion. Wen Yu couldn't afford to gamble on this, nor would he choose to.
If the personnel sent out were weak, they wouldn't be able to break through the defenses laid down by the celestial god at the earth's core origin—those barriers were set up using a massive amount of resources by the celestial god, guarded by a large number of oceanic tribe members, insectoid race, the Insect King Skyry, the Sea King, the celestial god's subordinates, and even possibly Tang Haofei.
They would certainly be on high alert around the earth's core origin. Besides his own true self and spirit pets, no one else in this world could break through such a level of defensive network.
And to act personally or send out spirit pets?
Wasn't that ridiculous...
Wen Yu's current foundation had long surpassed the stage where he would take risks out of impulsiveness, where life and death were in the hands of fate—if he just grew normally, he would become stronger and stronger. In such a situation, did Wen Yu still need to gamble on a fifty-fifty life-and-death probability?
If he won, the earth would be taken down—what would that accomplish? Other than removing the celestial god and resolving the trouble with the earth's will, what would happen next would still have to happen as it should. In any case, the celestial god couldn't enter the Layered Battlefield now. Even if he could do something, it would merely be trivial matters.
And if he lost... at the very least, one of his spirit pets would fall into a perilous situation—against the power of level twelve, Wen Yu wasn't sure he could pull his spirit pets back in time using the soul realm space.
The risks outweighed the rewards, and the betting was clearly unequal...
If the situation still called for gambling... wouldn’t that be madness?
Seeing Wen Yu’s casual demeanor, Lin Haifeng immediately understood what Wen Yu was thinking.
So, he said straightforwardly.
“If I can help you determine whether the earth's will can act against you, would you take action?”
“If the earth's will can't act against me, then I will definitely take action against it!”
Wen Yu stated his position without hesitation.
There was no room for compromise on this point!
With the sovereign absent and the earth's will unable to act directly, there was no one in this world who could stop him except for the treasure land guardian, who generally wouldn't interfere in the local power struggles on earth.
At that time, Wen Yu would be completely at the top!
Do you think the celestial god wants to turn earth into a stronghold? You’re thinking too much... Although earth seems a bit of a hassle to Wen Yu, he would certainly act to clean up the celestial god, the earth's will, and even the troubles posed by Tang Haofei.
The consideration in all this still revolved around the issue of level restraint.
If the level eight restraint was broken, Wen Yu wouldn't care, and even if the level nine restraint was broken, he wouldn't be too concerned. But the level ten restraint could not be broken! At the very least, not now; the level ten restraint could not be broken!
Because Wen Yu needed time, and the level restraint would allow him more time to grow stronger. The best outcome would be that on the day the level ten restraint was broken, he could master a power comparable to the spirit of the demon lord’s certain avatar. This way, things to come would become much easier to manage.
As of now, Wen Yu's strength was evidently lacking when compared to any of the demon lord's avatars...
“Well, that’s enough.”
Upon hearing Wen Yu's answer, Lin Haifeng immediately smiled, and that chilling expression reappeared on his face.
