Chapter 983 - 983 Ling'er's Change, Hope for the Rise (2)
983 Ling’er’s Change, Hope for the Rise (2)
“Alright, let’s go home,” Zhou Shu said. “The Giant Spirit King should have already returned victorious.”
He glanced at Bai Yue. “Bai Ze King, all the races in the world have fought and killed for so many years. There are countless casualties. It’s time to unite them, don’t you think?”
Bai Yue smiled bitterly. Is history still going to happen? Will the giant spirit race still eventually become the ruler of the world?
“Lord Zhou, if I’m not wrong, will the bai ze race be kicked away as a stumbling block?” Bai Yue asked unwillingly.
Zhou Shu smiled faintly. “What do you think?”
Bai Yue sighed. He didn’t think that the giant spirit race would let the bai ze race off just because he had protected Ling’er in the Origin World.
This was his responsibility to begin with. Moreover, compared to the matters of the race, this was nothing.
“I understand now.” Bai Yue smiled bitterly.
He knew that it was his wishful thinking. It was impossible to stop the giant spirit race from becoming the ruler of the world.
He could only let the bai ze race exist for as long as possible until all the races in the world disappeared.
Even if all the races in the world will eventually be destroyed, he hoped that the bai ze race would be the last race to disappear.
On the way back to the stronghold of the giant spirit race, Ling’er was silent all the way. She was no longer as lively as when she was young.
She had grown up, so Zhou Shu couldn’t appear too intimate. He also felt that perhaps it was because Ling’er had grown up and her personality had changed.
Moreover, they hadn’t seen each other for thirty years. It was normal for Ling’er to be distant.
After returning to the giant spirit race’s stronghold, Cang Huan, Ji Lutian, and the others had already returned.
As soon as Cang Huan saw Zhou Shu, he said excitedly, “Brother Zhou, fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you. The ox-horse race has been settled.”
There were still wounds on his face, but he was very excited.
What could make him more excited than seeing the giant spirit race rise step by step?
Zhou Shu didn’t look very excited. Instead, he turned to look at Bai Yue. “Bai Ze King, which race do you think should be the target next?”
Cang Huan was a little confused.
Bai Yue pondered. “I wonder if the winner in the war between the golden-winged roc race and the silver scale race has been decided.”
Zhou Shu snapped his fingers. “Giant Spirit King, prepare to destroy the golden-winged roc race and the silver scale race.”
“Huh?” Cang Huan and Bai Yue were shocked.
Bai Yue’s face darkened. He really didn’t mean that. He was just asking casually.
Were the golden-winged roc race and the silver scale race so easy to deal with?
Even if they had suffered internecine outcomes, they were still among the top ten existences in the world.
It was really not that Bai Yue looked down on the giant spirit race. Unless the bai ze race helped the giant spirit race, how could the giant spirit race deal with the golden-winged roc race and the silver scale race?
“Brother Zhou, we…” Cang Huan hesitated.
“You can’t do it?” Zhou Shu glanced at Cang Huan.
Cang Huan’s mouth went dry.
“We’ll do it!” he answered. “But everyone is wounded now. Should we wait for everyone to recover before taking action?”
“Giant Spirit King, do you think I’m being nosy?” Zhou Shu asked.
“Of course not—”
“You don’t have to deny it. It’s normal for you to think that way.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “If you ordered me around like how I ordered your giant spirit race around, I would be angry too. It’s normal for you to have objections.”
“Brother Zhou, I really don’t think that way,” Cang Huan said. “Brother Zhou, you gave our giant spirit race a chance. I never thought that the giant spirit race could achieve our current status.”
He said seriously, “If the giant spirit race can reach the top of all races, I won’t regret it even if I die in battle! I’d only be afraid of not having a chance. But now that the opportunity is in front of me, if I blamed you, would I still have a conscience?”
Zhou Shu looked at Cang Huan and said slowly, “It doesn’t matter what you think, but the giant spirit race still has to do what they have to do.
“I’ve found you a helper, Cang Hao. You should have met him.”
“Yes.” Excitement flashed across the eyes of Cang Huan. He had seen Cang Hao as soon as he had returned and even sparred with him.
Although the other party’s strength was not comparable to his, it was not far off. More importantly, the other party’s combat skills were much better than his.
If Cang Huan read novels from the future, he would definitely say that obtaining one Cang Hao was comparable to obtaining an army of 100,000!
“I will continue to provide connate divine weapons,” Zhou Shu continued. “Your giant spirit race’s population is still too small. Giant Spirit King, think of a way to increase the population of the giant spirit race.
“If you can’t increase the population for the time being, you can consider taking in more vassal races.
“If you want the giant spirit race to become the ruler of the world, it’s not enough with just ten thousand of you.”
Cang Huan felt his face heat up. Ruler of the world?
At the thought of these words, he felt his heart race.
He had always thought that Zhou Shu was joking, but now, it didn’t seem impossible.
If they could really destroy the golden-winged roc race and the silver scale race, the giant spirit race could definitely rank in the top ten of all the races in the world.
Then he would develop their strength further. It didn’t seem too far away from the giant spirit race being invincible.
Regarding Zhou Shu said about increasing the population, he had to think more about it.
There were too few people in the giant spirit race. In the recent battles, there had been thousands of casualties. Now, it was difficult to gather even 3,000 soldiers.
It wasn’t that easy for giant spirits to give birth.
As for vassal races…
Cang Huan glanced at Bai Yue. The bai ze race was now a vassal race of the giant spirit race.
“I understand. I’ll think about it carefully,” Cang Huan said in a deep voice.
“Recuperate first. Bai Ze King, your bai ze race knows everything in the world. Why don’t you use your expertise?” Zhou Shu turned to Bai Yue. “You guys will be the scouts of the giant spirit race.”
“Scouts?” Bai Yue didn’t quite understand.
Zhou Shu said solemnly, “Get the people of the bai ze race to investigate the golden-winged roc race and the silver scale race. Before the giant spirit race is ready to set off, we need to know everything about the golden-winged roc race and the silver scale race.
“Find out how big their population is, how strong each of them is, and their weaknesses. The more detailed, the better. Find out as much as you can.”
Bai Yue pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, our bai ze race is good at this.”
Since the bai ze race had already boarded the giant spirit race’s chariot, there was no room for regret.
In that case, he might as well use this opportunity to seek some benefits for the bai ze race.
“Lord Zhou Shu, can our bai ze race also obtain some connate divine weapons?” Bai Yue asked.
Zhou Shu looked meaningfully at Bai Yue. “Sure. As long as the bai ze race doesn’t have any ulterior motives, what the giant spirit race has, your bai ze race can have too.
“Bai Ze King, you’re a smart person. You should be able to guess my background.”
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, “I’m not interested in dominating the ancient races. After this world is conquered, the giant spirit race won’t be able to enjoy all these benefits. Your bai ze race might be able to take the opportunity to rise. All of this will depend on what you do.”
