Foresight!
Upon hearing these four words, all the powerful gods and kings of the various races fell into deep thought.
Even before this, in the various incidents involving Lu Tao, they had keenly sensed that Lu Tao might, like the old turtle, possess some kind of divination ability.
It is even more powerful than the divination of the old tortoise.
He could not only divine the hiding places of powerful figures from various races, but also avoid many schemes with extreme precision.
For example, the scheme at Chiyu Hall, the ambush outside Qingyue Residence, and the waiting for the Purple Leopard Clan to come to them like a rabbit waiting to run into a tree stump... and this time too.
"This Lu Tao... must have some kind of precognitive ability, otherwise, how could he have avoided the Tianyu Pavilion's schemes?"
"Indeed, before this, even the various races of our Desolate Domain were completely unaware of the Heavenly Pavilion's hunting of demons, but Lu Tao, who has only ascended for a little over a year, was able to find out about this matter before us."
"Yes, we only learned about this matter by relying on our eyes and Brother Frog's rules of cause and effect, but Lu Tao was able to sense it when he was only at the Heavenly God Realm, which is really outrageous!"
"No wonder he didn't cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion. It turns out he knew all along that Tianyu Pavilion would take action against him. How terrifying!"
"What kind of monster is this person? Despite being so much weaker than us in terms of cultivation level and strength, he has an astonishing number of tricks up his sleeve, causing us to suffer setbacks time and time again. Alas!"
...
When Lu Tao's abilities were mentioned, the gods and kings of all races couldn't help but feel a strong sense of defeat.
They represent the pinnacle of strength in the desolate region, yet they have failed time and time again when facing Lu Tao.
Even though they tried their best to scheme against Lu Tao and target him, without exception, none of their schemes succeeded, or rather, Lu Tao easily thwarted each one.
If it were any other creature, it would have been killed countless times by them.
But Lu Tao is not only still alive and well, but he is also becoming stronger and stronger, so much so that even they feel helpless against him.
Ao Chen sighed helplessly, "If Lu Tao has the ability to foresee the future, then wouldn't all our current actions be seen by Lu Tao?"
"..."
The King of Gods paused for a moment, then fell silent.
They wanted to say something, but they could only open their mouths and remain silent.
yes.
If Lu Tao had such abilities, not only would he know about their current actions, but he would also know about all of their God-Kings' successful tribulation to become Half-Step God-Emperors.
Lu Tao had already seen through all their plans against him, so what was the point of all that they had done?
The pangolin said somewhat blankly, "In that case, Lu Tao has probably already told the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape about this, and they may have already undergone tribulation to become half-step God Emperors."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Bull said with a look of lingering fear, "Fortunately, we did not continue to wait, but chose to undergo the tribulation directly. Otherwise, if we had hesitated even slightly, and waited for the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape to undergo their tribulations, we would probably have faced annihilation."
"Heh, so after we transcend our tribulations and become half-step gods, before we go to find Lu Tao, we need to fight against the Nether Tiger and the Human Emperor first?"
"Back then, they had even more half-step God Emperors among them, so our chances of winning... sigh!"
"In that case, let alone finding Lu Tao, whether we can even win against the Nether Tigers is another matter entirely... Damn it!"
...
As the discussion progressed, even the most powerful beings at the peak of the God-King realm within the alliance of races couldn't help but look extremely grim.
Their top combat strength was already inferior to that of Sect Master Luo and the Human Emperor. If they waited for the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape to reach the Perfection of God King and become Half-Step God Emperors, the outcome of the battle would be truly unpredictable.
Fortunately, they sometimes see the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Wait, since the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape already know about this, could it be that they have all completed their tribulations?"
While the gods were discussing, Ao Chen suddenly thought of a possibility and glanced at Ao Yu.
Now that Ao Yu has already transcended tribulation and become a half-step God Emperor, if the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape had known about the actions of the Alliance of Races beforehand, would they have all transcended tribulation together?
Perhaps they have all successfully advanced?
If that's the case...
At this moment, not only Ao Chen, but all the other God Kings showed expressions of horror.
Although they all knew that the range of the Divine Emperor's Tribulation was extremely wide, there were probably only a few secret realms in the entire desolate region that could accommodate a Divine King to complete his tribulation.
If the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape were to undergo their tribulations in the desolate region without any concealment, even though all the races had already gathered their members together, they would still be able to receive the news through their eyes and ears left outside.
But there was an unexpected factor.
Lu Tao!
They didn't know if Lu Tao had other means to help the Nether Tiger, the Azure Ape, and other God-Kings reach perfection and advance to the half-step God-Emperor level without the knowledge of the Alliance of Races.
If that's the case...
They are in grave danger!
Thinking of this, Ao Chen said urgently, "Brother Frog, quick, check on the movements of the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape!"
"good!"
The Heavenly Frog understood the urgency of the situation and, disregarding its own exhaustion, devoted itself to the investigation.
After only a few breaths, the Heavenly Frog stopped with a strange expression, saying with a somewhat bewildered look in its eyes, "Strange, the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape did not undergo tribulation."
"Phew, thank goodness they didn't undergo tribulation!"
"It feels like I've walked through the gates of hell, and that feeling is really unpleasant."
"Yes, it feels like I've escaped a disaster."
...
"But why didn't they undergo tribulation?"
"Did Lu Tao not tell them that we were undergoing tribulation, or did Lu Tao not know that we had advanced to the half-step God Emperor level?"
"This... shouldn't be the case. With Lu Tao's ability to foresee the future, he should know this."
"That's strange, what exactly happened?"
...
When the King of Gods learned of this outcome, he was both relieved to have survived and utterly bewildered.
They simply couldn't understand why Lu Tao, with his foresight, hadn't told the Dark Tiger and the Azure Ape about this.
You need to know.
The Dark Tiger and the Azure Ape are on the same side as the Human Emperor, but they have conflicts with the Alliance of Races.
Lu Tao and they share a common enemy.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Lu Tao could have reminded Minghu and Cangyuan about this matter, so that they could all advance to the half-step God Emperor level first.
At that time, Lu Tao didn't even need to lift a finger; he could rely on the power of the Human Emperor, the Nether Tiger, and other powerful figures to deal with the alliance of various races.
But Lu Tao did not do that.
That's a bit strange.
Ao Chen looked at the weakened Heavenly Frog and said gently, "Brother Frog, why don't you investigate again? Why didn't Lu Tao notify the Dark Tiger and the Azure Ape? Does Lu Tao have some designs on them?"
"Or is it that the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape have some designs on Lu Tao, and they want Lu Tao to sense them so they can guard against them?"
Ao Chen looked thoughtful and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, perhaps we can bring Minghu and the others into our camp to deal with Lu Tao together."
“Yes, if they join us, we should be able to gather twenty half-step God Emperors, especially Qingyue Residence, Star Palace, Xuanming Sect, etc. These forces are quite ancient, and perhaps they can find Lu Tao.”
"At the very least, with their participation, our own safety can be greatly guaranteed when cooperating with Tianyu Pavilion."
"Moreover, if even the Heavenly Pavilion can't find Lu Tao, we twenty half-step Divine Emperors can join forces to try to enter the boundary and see if we can leave the Desolate Domain."
"Now it seems that if we cannot kill Lu Tao, we will have no choice but to make plans sooner rather than later."
"Brother Frog, could you please investigate further?"
The gods realized what was happening and urged the Heavenly Frog to hurry up.
The Heavenly Frog nodded silently and continued its investigation. After only a few breaths, it finished and said, somewhat puzzled, "No, the Dark Tiger, the Azure Ape, and Master Cui, although they all harbored greed for Lu Tao's secret realm, none of them had any intention of attacking Lu Tao. As for Lu Tao..."
Tianwa shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't find out whether he has any designs on Minghu and the others."
"What exactly is Lu Tao up to?"
"This person's behavior is truly bizarre and completely unpredictable."
"Yes, the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape have grudges against us. Logically speaking, even if Lu Tao doesn't cooperate with them, he should at least warn them and make them advance to the half-step God Emperor level so that they can fight us. This would be a sure thing for Lu Tao, but he... did nothing."
"This is so strange, what is this person thinking?"
“The Nether Tigers have no designs on Lu Tao, and Lu Tao… given his personality, if the Nether Tigers don’t offend him, he probably won’t lay a hand on them. So how can we persuade them?”
...
Even the King of Gods couldn't understand Lu Tao's actions.
Judging from Lu Tao's previous exposure of the Demon Cat Clan, it can be seen that he is very good at using other forces to weaken the strength of other races.
This was clearly a very good opportunity, and it would have required the use of top-tier combat power such as half-step God Emperor and God King at their peak, but Lu Tao did not do so.
This was completely different from his previous choices, which was something they simply couldn't understand.
Ao Chen remained silent.
In the current situation, even if it wanted to put aside its grudges and cooperate with the Dark Tiger and the Azure Ape, it wouldn't work.
The key issue is the lack of a convincing reason for them.
You can't possibly rely on deception, can you?
"I see!"
At this moment, the pangolin suddenly thought of a possibility and guessed, "Perhaps Lu Tao's foresight is not unlimited. Just like Brother Frog's causal investigation, it also consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, he is temporarily unaware of our tribulation."
The Hun Tian Beast suddenly realized, "That's right. Brother Frog's causal detection, combined with treasures like the Eye of Truth, consumes so much energy when investigating all kinds of causes and effects. With Lu Tao's current mere Divine Lord realm, his consumption must be even greater. He can't divination all kinds of things without limit."
“If he really could foresee everything, then he could have taken action against us in the lower realms regarding his beliefs, instead of waiting to deal with it afterward.”
"Indeed, in that case, he probably doesn't know about our tribulation."
"Phew...we scared ourselves."
Upon hearing this last sentence, the voices of the King of Gods suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, they also realized that due to Lu Tao's various heaven-defying methods, when facing Lu Tao, these dignified God-King level experts actually behaved like low-level creatures, easily startled and flustered.
Even things that could be thought of immediately and judged correctly are now causing them to struggle with them.
This made them look extremely ugly.
This shows that their fear of Lu Tao has penetrated to the bone, and has even formed a kind of stress response that should not exist.
What is a major threat? This is a major threat!
"If Lu Tao doesn't die, we'll all be slaughtered by him sooner or later!"
Ao Chen was quite exhausted at this moment.
It believed that all its actions were correct. As a dignified God-King at the Perfection stage, scheming against a mere Martial God from the lower realm was a piece of cake.
Even for a martial god, to scheme against him was a clear case of bullying the weak and showing great respect to Lu Tao.
Even after several failures, it doesn't think it has done anything wrong.
But now, Ao Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
This Lu Tao... is too difficult to kill!
Even before Lu Tao became a God King, he had already rendered them helpless.
Once Lu Tao advances to the God King level, Ao Chen has no idea what fate awaits them.
But given Lu Tao's ruthless methods, it's highly likely he'll exterminate the entire clan!
Suppressing his regret, Ao Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked urgently at the Heavenly Frog, saying, "Brother Frog, quick, check the statue that Lu Tao placed in the God Realm!"
Seeing that the gods had not yet reacted, Ao Chen hurriedly explained, "Since Lu Tao descended to the lower realm with his divine soul, his physical body will inevitably remain in the God Realm. Even if he brings his physical body back to the lower realm with a small world, at the very least, he will place a god statue of the same extremely high rank in the God Realm."
"If we can find this statue, then we can simply wait for Lu Tao to come to us."
"Even if Lu Tao becomes aware of this and doesn't return to the God Realm through the statue, we can directly contact the Tianyu Pavilion and work with them to set up powerful formations in the various Ascension Pools so that Lu Tao can no longer return to the God Realm."
"Even if Lu Tao wanted to return to the God Realm through the Ascension Pool of the Heavenly Transformation Wasteland, it wouldn't work!"
Ao Chen smiled as he said this, and continued, "With the resources of Tianyu Pavilion, it shouldn't be difficult for them to go deep into the Heavenly Change Forbidden Land and set up an array on the Ascension Pool."
All the god-kings realized what was happening and were overjoyed.
“That’s right. This way, we can definitely lock Lu Tao in the lower realm and prevent him from ever returning to the divine realm.”
"Hahaha, as long as Lu Tao cannot return to the God Realm, he will not be able to break through to the God King realm. With his lifespan of the God Monarch realm, he will definitely not live past 500,000 years old, and he will die of old age in the lower realm."
"Once Lu Tao is dead, our clans will be free from any threat!"
"That's right. I don't believe that the statue that Lu Tao placed can also block causal detection like the disciples of the Immortal Sect."
...
As the gods discussed the matter with great joy, the Heavenly Frog, despite being exhausted, once again began to explore, fulfilling the gods' expectations.
Ten breaths later, the Heavenly Frog wearily opened its eyes and said helplessly, "I can't find anything. Not only can I not find the statue that Lu Tao placed in the God Realm, but I also checked whether there were any Immortal Sect disciples left in the God Realm, but I still couldn't find anything."
"Damn it, Lu Tao is such a bastard, he's incredibly meticulous in his work."
"Damn it, they're not giving us even the slightest chance!"
"Damn it, he deserves to die!"
"Lu Tao, why the hell are you in the wasteland?!"
"How unwilling I am!"
...
At this moment, all the god-kings lost their composure and began to curse without any regard for their image.
They finally found a tiny opportunity to deal with Lu Tao, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.
It's obvious.
Before descending to the lower realm, Lu Tao had made all the necessary preparations, giving them no chance to plot against him.
This feeling was incredibly uncomfortable for them.
At this moment, Lian Aochen's face was filled with confusion and helplessness.
It really didn't know what other way there was to deal with Lu Tao.
After the curses, the kings of the gods gradually calmed down.
The pangolin beast analyzed with a gloomy face: "Given Lu Tao's caution, let alone us, even the Tianyu Pavilion probably wouldn't be able to find him, right?"
"Yes, what's the point of Tianyu Pavilion allowing so many God-Kings to complete their tribulations and become half-step God-Emperors at this time?"
"Do they have other ways to find Lu Tao?"
Thinking about these issues, they subconsciously looked at the Sky Frog, but seeing the Sky Frog's weak appearance, the God Kings did not dare to urge it.
Ao Chen said gently, "Brother Frog, I'll trouble you one more time."
"Brother Ao, you're too kind. This is just what I should do."
The Heavenly Frog shook its head. Although it felt helpless, it did not refuse. It knew that if it did not find Lu Tao soon, it would be difficult to survive once Lu Tao became a God King.
That's how it is.
The Sky Frog continued its exploration.
puff!
Suddenly, after about ten breaths, the Heavenly Frog coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Its entire body appeared weak and powerless, but it said with extreme exhaustion and joy, "I found out that Tianyu Pavilion has a very powerful joint formation. It is very confident that it can track Lu Tao's whereabouts and trap him, making it impossible for him to escape."
