Chapter 748: Chapter 743: The Ultimatum
"What do they want?" Bai Pu asked. "For us to surrender Earth?"
"That was their initial demand, which I directly rejected. Later, they changed their demand to a request for us to compensate with a piece of Earth’s continent for the Yazd People to settle." Discarding and Letting Go said.
"That’s impossible. Not to mention a continent, I wouldn’t even give them an island."
Bai Pu resolutely stated.
Discarding and Letting Go nodded, "It should be rejected. This is their encroachment plan. Once we make this concession and grant the Yazd People residency on Earth, they will soon initiate war, invading other continents until they occupy the entire Earth."
"I refuse for another reason. The Yazd People need an extremely hot fire element environment for survival, which is completely different from Earth’s water-rich environment. Even if we compromise and give them the African continent, it wouldn’t meet the Yazd People’s needs. They would resort to all kinds of extreme measures, triggering the energy of the Earth’s core and altering Earth’s climate, which would be a catastrophe for Earth humans."
"Indeed. However, the deadline for the Yazd People’s response is only 27 days."
Discarding and Letting Go’s voice was heavy, "27 days is not because the Yazd People are merciful; it’s the time required for the Yazd People’s massive starship to travel to Earth! I received information that their starships have already gathered and are heading towards ’Cyan Dragon Division’ ’Jiuxiu Nine’."
Jiuxiu Nine is the star map coordinate area of Earth relative to Silver Heart Star.
Bai Pu exhaled and said, "Lord Discarding and Letting Go, I’ll think of a way. If it doesn’t work, we’ll proceed with our original plan... One way or another, we must safeguard Earth."
The original plan was the inheritance.
Bai Pu would pass the Earth Battleship onto Discarding and Letting Go.
After all, Discarding and Letting Go also possesses the Gaia Mark and is a core member of the Gaia Group. He is also an Evolver, whose private property is protected by Silver Heart Continent law.
However, Discarding and Letting Go’s position in the Gaia Group is not high, which makes him vulnerable to bullying and coercion from the higher-ranking Red Race Gaia’s Hand. But this is the only option available.
Discarding and Letting Go nodded in agreement, then asked, "How far have you cultivated your Mystical Arts?"
"I have comprehended the Dancing Wind Mystical Arts and developed the Mystical Arts skill ’Wind Control’."
Bai Pu’s first sentence took Discarding and Letting Go by surprise.
Bai Pu, still somewhat dissatisfied, said, "Now, I am striving to refine the ’Red Flame’ Mystical Arts towards Burning Mystical Arts, but I have no clue."
Transitioning from Gang Wind Mystical Arts to Dancing Wind Mystical Arts so quickly was due to Bai Pu’s prior accumulation, being on the brink of Dancing Wind Mystical Arts.
But for Burning Mystical Arts, Bai Pu found it challenging to grasp. He watched several fire element Mystical Arts refinement videos of top-level Awakened and learned different Mystical Arts refinement methods, but they all had minimal effects.
"I think you should consider comprehending Special System Mystical Arts. Currently, you possess three Top-Grade Mystical Arts of conventional systems. If you aim to refine and congeal them into True Intent, the difficulty is immense and is quite a challenging goal."
Discarding and Letting Go sighed, "Three-System Supreme Mystical Arts, combined with a Special System Mystical Arts, forming True Intent, could reach Second Grade. Those who possess Second-Grade True Intent are extremely rare in the Silver Heart Continent. Subsequent to the Evolver stage, you can expand True Intent further and raise it even higher."
"I understand, but I still want to try." Bai Pu’s will was quite firm.
"Trying is certainly not an issue. After all, you’ve comprehended Dancing Wind Mystical Arts in just a month; with such aptitude, you can indeed aim for higher goals. I await your news."
Discarding and Letting Go ended the communication.
After Bai Pu finished his preparation work, he quietly left the gardener’s cabin.
...
Inner City District, Gaia Building.
"Gangxin, I understand your demands."
Venerable Envoy Li Yan spoke directly, "In fact, before you came to me, Xi Li and Mata, the two major generals, had already requested an audience with the Master."
Xi Li and Mata, both Elders of the Burning Ash Organization, are powerful Red Race individuals. They hold the rank of major general in the Gaia Group.
And the only major general from Earth Huaxia, Lord Bailu, has already fallen.
"What did Master Bo Xuan say?"
Bai Pu still had hope in this mysterious Tower Master.
"The Master said that the two Red Race major generals have made outstanding contributions to Gaia Group. But Gangxin, you have not yet demonstrated your value." Li Yan said.
Sure enough, putting hope in others is meaningless.
Bai Pu could only try to persuade Venerable Envoy Li Yan: "Since awakening, it’s only been two years for me... Master Bo Xuan says I haven’t shown my value; all I can say is, if given two more years, after I ascend to Evolver, I will certainly demonstrate my value to him."
Li Yan slowly shook his head.
It seemed the Gaia Group did not trust such uncertain guarantees about the future.
However, Li Yan, after some thought, still revealed an important piece of information to Bai Pu:
"Gangxin, you actually have an opportunity now to prove your value."
"The group is going to conduct a combat assessment for all ’preparatory core members.’ If you can reach the top ten in combat strength among the preparatory members, you will prove your promising future and receive key cultivation from the group."
Looking at Bai Pu, Li Yan admonished, "This information has not been made public yet, so don’t spread it."
"Thank you, Venerable Envoy, for your trust. Rest assured, I will definitely not speak carelessly."
Bai Pu then asked, "If I can get into the top ten of the preparatory members’ combat strength, will that protect my home planet?"
Li Yan said, "Of course. However, getting into the top ten in combat strength is not easy; it’s a competition among several thousand Major Generals of Gaia. Currently, you haven’t even grasped the True Intent Prototype; it’s estimated you couldn’t even make it into the top one thousand."
"Then... when will the assessment take place?" Bai Pu asked.
"In one month."
Bai Pu took a deep breath. The Silver Heart Great World has thousands of Awakened with Major General rank! No wonder the Gaia Group doesn’t value him. It turns out there are too many Gaia Majors General.
The so-called ’preparatory core member’ is really just seeds that Gaia’s Will scatters abundantly.
How many of these seeds can grow into towering trees? Not being valued is understandable.
Bai Pu quickly recalled why the Green Alliance magnates, the Silver Wind Family Head, held so much importance for Miss Salacia’s Gaia Major General trial. It must have been for this assessment. After Miss Salacia’s setback, the Silver Wind Family Head quickly became disappointed in her and turned his attention to his illegitimate daughter, Julian...
By this logic, Julian will likely attempt the Gaia Major General’s trial task soon as well.
Bai Pu got up to leave.
One month remains; it’s time for a trip to the Spirit Realm.
Currently, Bai Pu has little need for other spoils from the Spirit Realm, which is why he has not visited the Spirit Realm for a long time. Even when he does, it’s primarily through the method of "Source Lord’s Descent," assisting his own Apostles and Slaves in the expansion of the Spirit Realm Plane.
And through the method of Source Lord’s Descent, Bai Pu assumes half the identity of a Native, unable to trigger tasks, nor receive task rewards.
Now, it seems it’s time to acquire a Spirit Realm Ticket and embark on a true Spirit Realm adventure!
