“What about Tang Haofei?”
Wen Yu found it easy to deal with his situation, as the leverage of being a reborn person was significant. However, Tang Haofei was definitely a headache. The earth's will aimed to balance the power comparison between the two, leading Wen Yu and Tang Haofei to ultimately perish together, thereby breaking the sovereign and demon lord's hidden agents. But Old Tang's response inadvertently countered the earth's will's good plan.
The two of them stood there, secretly discussing how to address the problems posed by the two reborn persons. From an outsider's perspective, they seemed to be united in purpose...
Before long, they had agreed on a strategy—first deal with Wen Yu... Yes, just as the celestial god had suggested. As for the issue with Tang Haofei, that could only be postponed for now. In fact, this resolution made sense; after all, priorities matter, and at the moment, Wen Yu's troubles were far greater than Tang Haofei's...
It was predictable that once this matter was handed over to the sovereign, Wen Yu would undoubtedly face a deadly tribulation within a few hours!
But what was that saying? With someone on the inside, things could be managed more easily. The earth's will wasn't solely under the celestial god's control.
Suddenly, a voice broke into their conversation: “Let’s hold off for a while. I have a way to handle both Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.”
As the words fell, a figure emerged from a distant passage and flew straight towards them.
It was Bai.
Seeing Bai, the earth's will and the celestial god immediately halted their discussion.
The celestial god was unaware of Bai's background, but the earth's will had some suspicions—this guy was definitely not a native of Earth.
To be honest, the earth's will was in an awkward position itself. The Sea King and Skyry were loyal to it, yet the mutated beasts awakened their intelligence too late. Even if their intelligence matched that of ordinary people, they couldn't provide good advice on certain matters—they were just brute enforcers.
Walter and Ye Nan were strong, but not intelligent enough and lacked sufficient loyalty.
The celestial god was excellent; he excelled in all aspects, which was why the earth's will valued him.
As for Bai... everything about him was fine, but being a non-native Earth lifeform was enough for the earth's will to keep him outside the core.
However, in a way, the earth's will still valued Bai—he was at least a qualified pawn, and his abilities were comparable to the celestial god, making him another external brain for the earth's will.
“Let’s hold off for a while. I have a way to handle both Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.”
Bai approached the celestial god and repeated his earlier words, then continued confidently, “Dealing with Wen Yu will take some time. If the sovereign deals with Wen Yu now, the destruction caused on Earth will surpass everyone's expectations. Wen Yu may not have much, but he has quite a few subordinates. If Wen Yu decides to go down with the ship at the last moment, none of us will benefit.”
“That makes sense…”
The celestial god nodded in agreement. Everyone present had an estimate of the number of soul puppets, and no one knew what kind of unexpected situation would occur if the sovereign dealt with Wen Yu.
However, this matter was inherently a probability issue; perhaps the sovereign would simply kill Wen Yu in an instant... What Bai described was merely one possibility, and right now, he just wanted to maximize that probability...
“According to my intelligence, the second sequence ranking battle will start soon. The reward for sequence one will likely be the Layered Battlefield. I believe that once the Layered Battlefield appears, resolving Wen Yu there will be a better choice.”
Upon hearing this, the celestial god nodded.
“Of course, this is just one aspect. In fact, I have confidence in dealing with both Wen Yu and Tang Haofei together, but it will require some time. If you trust me, allow me to handle this matter, and I will present you with a satisfactory answer.”
