The figures of the human and the beast swiftly swept across the domain of all races...
During this time, masters would occasionally come up to help Tuntian out of trouble.
But they all ended up being cut down by a single sword strike...
The fierce sword intent rendered even those races whose strength fell below the fifth level of Master unable to stop the chase...
And Tuntian was truly dumbfounded by Zhou Gan.
The human and the beast had already penetrated almost a quarter of the territory of the myriad races...
Normally, even at great risk, Tuntian would dare to confront Zhou Gan, since the Star Alliance relies entirely on Zhou Gan. If Zhou Gan dared to kill him, the Star Alliance would be wiped out by Kaiyuan in the blink of an eye.
But things are different now.
Star Alliance is almost gone because of Kaiyuan...
"Zhou Gan, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor! You shouldn't have killed me with that sword!"
At this moment, Tuntian's tone had lost its previous toughness; it even carried a hint of pleading...
"Ha, it doesn't matter who I kill! Anyway, once you break through the battlefield of all races, the Star Alliance will still perish!"
"I can't kill the emperor if he hides! Then I'll take you with me!"
This was the first time Zhou Gan had spoken during the chase.
But his words chilled Tuntian's heart.
Because Zhou Gan stopped speaking, he even slightly pulled out the hilt of his sword, revealing a small section of the blade!
The faint, chilling sword energy emanating from the sword made Tuntian's heart turn cold. From this sword energy, he knew that if Zhou Gan was determined to kill him, he might really die!
Just then...
“Zhou Gan, I didn’t want to do this either. We both know Kaiyuan has treacherous ambitions… but I have no choice but to do this due to pressure from Kaiyuan…”
The voice of Devouring Heaven resounded directly in Zhou Gan's mind.
"Ha? Kaiyuan harbors wolfish ambitions? Isn't it you man-made beings who have ulterior motives?!"
Hearing Zhou Gan's merciless words, Tuntian's expression also turned extremely ugly!
As the king of all races, when had he ever suffered such humiliation! In the past, he would have made the person who uttered those words pay a heavy price!
But today!
He endured it!
...
"Emperor Kaiyuan has regained his senses and has reached the eighth level of the Grandmaster realm. I cannot refuse his orders."
"Moreover, the participation of all races in the war is inevitable. Even if you kill me with a single sword strike that you have accumulated over so many years, all races will still participate in the war, and may even fight with all their might."
"Then the Star Alliance will perish even faster!"
"If you don't believe me, we're ready to fight!"
This time, Zhou Gan did not reply, but he also did not display the same murderous aura as before.
This made Devouring Heaven realize that there was room for negotiation.
He was afraid that Zhou Gan would go mad and kill him.
After all, Zhou Gan disregarded everything and chased him directly into the territory of the myriad races, clearly intending to use his sword to kill him and the myriad races masters who came to besiege him...
That's why he never dared to let other masters risk their lives to save him...
After all, it's not worth dying for Kaiyuan!
If we fight so desperately, how can all races survive?
Therefore, he avoided fighting Zhou Gan, wanting to wait for Zhou Gan to regain his senses.
Previously, Zhou Gan was uncommunicative.
But now it's obviously possible.
"I know you have prepared methods to deal with me on the battlefield of all races. How about this: you leave, the myriad races slow down their offensive, and I withdraw from the battlefield of all races!"
Zhou Gan was clearly not satisfied with the conditions offered by the Devouring Heaven, and accelerated his charge forward.
Feeling that menacing killing intent again, Tuntian almost cursed out loud.
"Wait! We can talk! We can talk! How about this!"
"All races shall temporarily halt their attack! And we will cover your surprise attack on Kaiyuan!"
Zhou Gan was stunned for a moment when he heard this condition.
How to provide cover?
"Let your troops pass through the territory of the myriad races, and then enter Kaiyuan territory from other directions!"
Upon hearing this condition, Zhou Gan paused for a moment before slowly suppressing his killing intent.
"You better be telling the truth, because I really can kill you."
As he spoke, Zhou Gan instantly unleashed several sword intents towards Tuntian!
But Devouring Heaven didn't dodge! It withstood the attack head-on!
After glancing at the Devouring Heaven, Zhou Gan began his return journey to the battlefield of ten thousand races...
Tuntian stood on his own territory, watching Zhou Gan's retreating figure with resentment on his face, but as Zhou Gan lowered his head, a fleeting smile flashed in his eyes...
As Zhou Gan left, Devouring Heaven began to attack indiscriminately in its surroundings.
They faked the scene to make it look like a battle had just ended...
"Ouch... That old bastard Zhou Gan, even after we've cooperated, he still hit me so hard... It really hurts..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Gan quickly moved towards the battlefield of all races.
This time, he wasn't just trying to scare Tuntian; he was genuinely prepared to kill him.
Then they began to lead the Star Alliance to shrink towards the myriad races.
After all, without the Devouring Heaven races and with the War Demon's methods, the myriad races will not pose a threat to the Star Alliance in the short term.
As for Starlink, the ground was originally used as strategic depth.
But I didn't expect Devourer to be so decisive.
He ran away immediately, which prevented him from having a chance to make a move.
Furthermore, the subsequent negotiations saved Zhou Gan from having to strike.
But what surprised Zhou Gan even more was Tuntian's attitude.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Tuntian seems terrified of Zhou Gan's sword strike...
While he was afraid, he also explained the stance of the myriad races to Zhou Gan.
Rang's stance remains firm: to destroy the Star Alliance. However, Kaiyuan cannot be at full strength while the Star Alliance is destroyed.
At the very least, their combat strength must be roughly equivalent to that of all other races...
In this way, all races can ensure that they will not become the next target after the war.
In other words, if that time truly comes, all races will have the strength to fight against Kaiyuan.
In this matter, the myriad races have no initiative, because they neither want to ally with the Star Alliance nor want to fall out with Kaiyuan.
Then they'll have no choice but to rely on Star Alliance...
As for whether the Star Alliance will fight Kaiyuan to the death or use schemes and other means to reduce Kaiyuan's combat power to the same level as the myriad races, that is the Star Alliance's own business. After all, once that time comes, everyone will return to the previous stage of the three kingdoms being divided.
Resolute annihilation, with appropriate leniency—that is the attitude of Devouring the Heavens.
Therefore, whether it's slowing down the offensive or covering for the Star Alliance, it's all for this purpose.
This is also why Devouring Heaven has always been on the battlefield of all races, but never puts himself in danger.
Thinking of this, the bloodshot in Zhou Gan's eyes gradually faded...
He gently pressed his temples...
Devouring Heaven's attitude was unexpected, but also predictable. After all, it's unlikely that the leader of a power would be an idiot at any time.
Although Devourer of Heaven appears majestic and domineering, holding absolute power among all races, that doesn't mean he's a mindless brute...
Faced with such a plan by the myriad races, the Star Alliance could certainly turn against them and launch a full-scale attack, making them weaker than itself. In that case, the myriad races would have no choice but to form an alliance with it to fight against Kaiyuan.
This is what it means to drag all races down with you.
This approach, while theoretically sound, is not feasible because the existence of androids and artificial beasts means that even if the Star Alliance were to wipe out all other races, they would not cooperate with the Star Alliance...
The fact that Devouring Heaven is willing to back down is already a pretty good outcome...
Thinking of this, Zhou Gan gently exhaled a breath of stale air...
"call..."
It was as if the pressure of the past was being released, or as if a dying person was taking another breath...
Upon returning to the battlefield of all races, Zhou Gan first went to check on the Blood Sacrifice War.
It was quite a while before he went to find Sun Mingyuan.
After giving Zhanmo some instructions, he took Sun Mingyuan and left the Star Alliance battlefield. Zhanmo temporarily became the Star Alliance's commander-in-chief in the battlefield of ten thousand races.
Zhan Mo looked at the trust Zhou Gan had placed in him and didn't say much.
Compared to Zhou Gan entrusting him with the heavy responsibility of the battlefield, he cared more about Zhou Gan himself.
He stared intently at Zhou Gan's retreating figure until Zhou Gan left.
The War Demon slowly exhaled...
His expression was complicated at this moment.
Just now, when Zhou Gan came to take Sun Mingyuan away, he felt an extremely strong murderous aura emanating from Zhou Gan!
Even with Master Zhou Gan's sixth-level strength and powerful sword intent, that murderous aura could not be concealed.
Furthermore, this murderous aura seemed to appear suddenly, because when Zhou Gan went to the battlefield earlier, he didn't possess this strong murderous aura...
When he looked at Zhou Gan's back just now, it wasn't out of gratitude for Zhou Gan's trust, but because of the crimson shadow emanating from Zhou Gan's body...
It seemed as if countless wronged souls were struggling on his body...
He didn't know what Zhou Gan had been up to lately, but he sensed a profound danger emanating from him...
Even... a sense of unfamiliarity.
