Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696 Bringing Hope

Once this spiritual energy was drawn into the Spatial World by Ye Liuyun, it would also be absorbed by his Power of Origin and stored. This not only enhanced his Power of Origin but also served as energy reserves.

At that moment, everyone could see spiritual energy swarming and pouring into Ye Liuyun’s Xuankong Stone.

Although these martial practitioners didn’t recognize the Xuankong Stone, they knew it was a cultivation space, so nobody found it strange.

They only saw Ye Liuyun desperately absorbing spiritual energy and shared a bitter laugh together.

When they first encountered this Power of Origin, they too trained desperately. However, no matter how hard they trained, they couldn’t see any progress and gradually they became numb to this feeling of hopelessness.

They all believed that Ye Liuyun was just new to this, and eventually, he would end up like them. So, nobody bothered to disturb him, letting him do as he pleased.

If Ye Liuyun were to say at this moment that he wanted to take away the Power of Origin, these people probably wouldn’t object. As long as it didn’t fall into the hands of the foreign race, their persistence wouldn’t be in vain.

Qiong Qi knew this principle well, so he didn’t let Ye Liuyun go talk to the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty.

Ye Liuyun was too soft-hearted. If he were allowed to negotiate, he might even offer more resources than what he asked for.

Qiong Qi walked nonchalantly over to Jiuyang Sacred Majesty and sat down.

The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty also opened his eyes, looking at him curiously. The other martial practitioners were also puzzled by what Qiong Qi was up to, curiously probing the situation with their Divine Sense.

"Old man, how about we have a chat? You haven’t even asked us what we have to offer," Qiong Qi said to the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty with a cheerful smile.

The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty smiled bitterly. He completely lacked the demeanor and temperament of a Sacred Majesty. He didn’t even react much when Qiong Qi called him an old man.

He just casually said, "Do you have the ability to change the outcome?"

Qiong Qi knew that these people had completely lost their confidence and hope. If they couldn’t see even a glimmer of hope, they wouldn’t even have the mood to talk.

He did consider directly taking away the Power of Origin from this world, but Ye Liuyun probably wouldn’t agree to such a move.

So, Qiong Qi directly released the pressure of the Immortal Realm on his body, allowing these people to see his strength. freewёbnoνel.com

Then, he chuckled, "I’ve brought you hope! Now, whether or not the outcome changes depend on your attitude."

The pressure of Qiong Qi’s god-domain powerhouse indeed shocked everyone.

If they had an Immortal Realm expert, there would indeed be a possibility of turning the tide. Although the hope wasn’t great with facing numerous foreign races and Corpse Demons, the impact that Qiong Qi would still be significant.

As a result, everyone gradually gathered around to listen to what Qiong Qi had to say.

Even Jiuyang Sacred Majesty seemed to have a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

He hastily bowed to Qiong Qi and said, "So you’re an Immortal Realm expert! My apologies for the rudeness!"

Qiong Qi waved graciously, then raised his hand, holding up three fingers, and continued, "I can do three things for you. Firstly, I can help you reconstruct the formation, so that the Power of Origin can directly supply energy without the need for human assistance in maintaining the formation."

With each thing Qiong Qi mentioned, he would put down one finger, listing them one by one for everyone. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Second, I can set up another formation to bring in martial practitioners from other worlds, so that everyone can join forces to kill the Corpse Demons. The more the merrier, right? We have got to beat them in numbers before anything else."

"Lastly, I can encourage martial practitioners from other worlds to immigrate here and help you rebuild your homeland. Otherwise, even if you win the battle, sooner or later you’ll become extinct with no one to reproduce."

After Qiong Qi finished speaking, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief. They hadn’t yet shifted away from the mindset of inevitable doom.

Stimulated by Qiong Qi’s words, the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty seemed to finally start thinking about what Qiong Qi said.

He asked Qiong Qi, "You’re not from this world, are you?"

"That’s right!" Qiong Qi confirmed with a smile.

Then, he stood up, dusted off his pants, and said to the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty, "Think about what I’ve said! Without the help of other worlds, regardless of whether you win or lose, your race will eventually face extinction!"

Qiong Qi’s discussion of these three matters actually had a much broader perspective.

Currently, most of the remaining martial practitioners are male disciples, and there are only a few female disciples. With so few people, even if they defeat the Corpse Demons and survive, it won’t be enough for the race to propagate. They’ll eventually face extinction.

"No need to discuss further! We accept your offer!" The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty immediately called out to Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi’s proposition was already enticing to them, so they had no reason to refuse. Besides, they didn’t have any other options at the moment.

"Slow down. Take your time to think it over," Qiong Qi smiled and calmly said, "After I help you with these, what can you offer me?"

After saying that, Qiong Qi smiled and left the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty, heading towards Ye Liuyun’s Xuankong Stone to practice.

Now that their identities were exposed, they naturally had to be careful about Ye Liuyun’s safety.

It took a moment for the people to respond to Qiong Qi’s words.

Qiong Qi wasn’t from their world, so he wouldn’t help them for no reason. But regardless, accepting help from humans was always better than being wiped out by the foreign race.

All the martial practitioners were looking at the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty, waiting for him to make a decision.

The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty glanced at Qiong Qi, who was peacefully practicing nearby. At this moment, he too was pondering what Qiong Qi really wanted.

They had nothing left now.

Looking at Qiong Qi, who was currently practicing, he suddenly remembered that they still had the Power of Origin of this world.

That was the only valuable thing they had left.

They didn’t care much about the Power of Origin at the moment, so even if Qiong Qi took it away, it wouldn’t matter to them.

However, if the Power of Origin were taken away, this world would collapse and gradually disappear. Qiong Qi’s proposal, on the other hand, was to repair this world and restore its vitality.

Since it can’t be taken away directly, there is only one explanation.

Qiong Qi wanted control over the Power of Origin. He would have the final say on who could use it.

"He wants control over this world! Only when he has this authority will he genuinely work to restore this world!" The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty smiled slightly after realizing this.

For them, as long as they could survive and preserve this world, it didn’t matter who controlled it. As long as it was under human control, there would be no difference.

He and the remaining people didn’t have the ambition to become the rulers of this world themselves.

So, the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty announced his decision, "I will hand over control of the Power of Origin of this world to them in exchange for the preservation and development of this world. Do any of you have objections?"

They were the only remaining human martial practitioners in this world, so Jiuyang Sacred Majesty didn’t want to make the decision alone.

The martial practitioners had already lost hope, but now with a glimmer of hope, naturally, they had nothing to object to.

However, at this point, Mu Yuqing raised an objection.
