Chapter 898 – Two-man Act
The vassal soldiers soon found out that they had lost the opportunity to escape. On the outskirts of the battlefield, Zhao Hai's undead had been stationed, encircling them inside. If they wanted to escape, then they would need to go through the undead.
At this point, the vassal soldiers regretted provoking Zhao Hai. They had discovered that they were looking too highly upon themselves. They simply couldn't contend with Zhao Hai. With Zhao Hai's strength, he could deal with the Divines without the help of the vassal races.
With such strength, why would Zhao Hai deceive them? And with the vassal soldiers' strength, could they pass on to be Zhao Hai's cannon fodder?
If someone asked the vassal soldiers right now if there was something more sad than being a cannon fodder, then they certainly get a concrete answer. It was having no qualification to become even cannon fodder.
The confidence of the vassal races was completely destroyed. They were left not knowing what to do. They used to hope that their numbers would provide them with safety. But as far as the situation had gone, this hope had been destroyed, popped like a bubble and blown away by the wind.
Just when the vassal races felt that the world was collapsing around them, a loud voice was suddenly heard, "Mister Zhao Hai, please stop!" It was Bingya.
After this sound was heard, both the Hell King's ship and the undead stopped while the vassal soldiers felt relief. After that, everyone glanced towards the direction of that voice. It was Bingya and the others who were pressured by the vassal soldiers a few days ago. At that time, they didn't look highly upon Bingya's group. But now, Bingya and the others looked very pleasant.
It was at this moment that the Hell King's ship had reduced its size. Zhao Hai's group was seen once more with Zhao Hai still holding his glass of blood red wine. Upon seeing the wine on Zhao Hai's hand, the vassal soldiers couldn't help but tremble. At this point, if someone told them that Zhao Hai was actually drinking blood, then they would have believed it.
While holding his wine glass, Zhao Hai looked at Bingya and said, "Bingya, what do you want? You already asked me to give these people food. Are these the people you want to save? You did this on purpose didn't you? Did you expect me to lower myself just because I've allied with the foreign races?"
Bingya immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, this is a misunderstanding. These people are just worried about their own families. It was only under the instigation of ambitious people that they became like this. I ask Mister to spare them and not to punish them heavily. Please let them go this time."
Zhao Hai looked at Bingya before turning his gaze towards the vassal soldiers. When the vassal soldiers saw that Zhao Hai's gaze was on then, their bodies couldn't help but shrink. Although Zhao Hai looked very calm, he looked terrifying in the eyes of these people.
After sweeping the vassal races with his gaze, Zhao Hai turned back to Bingya and said, "Can you guarantee that they won't offend me again? If they dared to, then I would have to be impolite."
The vassal soldiers couldn't help but feel a chill when they heard this. Zhao Hai had already killed more than 1 million of them. This was Zhao Hai being polite? Then what would his impoliteness be? They couldn't even dare think about it.
Bingya immediately responded, "Mister can rest assured, this matter will absolutely never be repeated." Zhao Hai snorted before he swept the vassal soldiers once more and then returning to his cabin. After that, the ship vanished along with the undead that was surrounding the vassal soldiers.
He disappeared. Those present didn't even know how Zhao Hai left. It was now that they understood that Zhao Hai wasn't going all out in eliminating them. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out a long time ago. Zhao Hai being polite right now wasn't a lie.
After Zhao Hai left, Bingya turned to the vassal soldiers. He sighed before saying, "Let's go back to the camp. Go have a rest, we'll talk later." After saying that, Bingya's group went back and returned to their room. The vassal soldiers were also adamant about returning to the camp. However, what the vassal soldiers failed to see was the smile on Bingya's face as he turned back.
Actually, Zhao Hai and Bingya's exchange was something they planned for the vassal soldiers. Zhao Hai told Bingya about this just before he drove the Hell King's ship towards the soldiers. The plan was to have the two of them perform a play.
It was impossible for Zhao Hai to kill all of the vassal soldiers. He wasn't a ruthless person, and he just wanted to teach the vassal soldiers a lesson. Therefore, Zhao Hai planned to have Bingya come out just as he was about to make his second attack. Turning Bingya into the hero while Zhao Hai plays the villain, subduing the vassal soldiers in the process.
Zhao Hai was now a sword hanging on top of the vassal soldiers' heads. As long as Zhao Hai was present, the soldiers would follow Bingya's orders.
Just as Zhao Hai said before, the vassal soldiers aren't useless. Once these people united, their strength would be great. This time, their minds were muddled. Their people were currently fighting against the Divines, but this news was still uncertain. With how their thoughts were scattered, it was easy to persuade them at this moment.
Zhao Hai believed that the Patriarchs of these vassal races weren't simple characters. Once the Divines start to fight against the foreign races, these Patriarchs would certainly see the situation and gauge who the true enemy was. As long as they go against the Divines, Zhao Hai believed that they would be able to hold out for a long time.
While the vassal soldiers returned to their camp, the Hell King's ship reappeared at another place in the Taurus Continent. Zhao Hai was still holding on to his wine glass while Laura and the others were beside him. However, there were some of them who didn't have a happy expression on their faces.
Zhao Hai still had a calm expression as he drank from his wine glass. Seeing Laura and the others' unhappy expression, Zhao Hai gently placed his glass on the table and said, "What's wrong? Are you still angry? There's no need to be mad. You didn't want me to kill those people don't you?"
Lizzy snorted and said, "I hated seeing those guys. You should've dealt with them Brother Hai. They're expendable anyway."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "They're not expendable. If we deal with them, then we would incur a lot of enmity. Those soldiers are the main forces of their clans. If they are absent, then those vassal clans wouldn't be able to fight against the Divines. If they were to know about today's matter, then they not only wouldn't hate us, they might even feel grateful." Lizzy harrumphed and replied, "I still think that they're disrespectful. Forget it, I always get angry whenever I think about those guys. In any case, what happened is more beneficial to us. Right, Brother Hai, what do you plan on doing now?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Next, we do nothing. Just let the Bingya and the others send them to the Foreign Races' continent. I don't think it would take too long before the Divines make a move against the foreign races."
Lizzy nodded. At this moment Cai'er suddenly flew to Zhao Hai's side and said, "Young Master, the O'Neal family has sent a war tank with shields to the Demon Realm. They're approaching a mine. It won't be long before they see the undead and the iron armor beasts."
Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded and said, "Alright. I knew this day would come sooner or later. It's just much earlier than I expected. Don't worry about them. Just observe the reaction of the O'Neal family when they see the undead and iron armor beasts. I want to see if they'll just investigate or immediately attack."
Cai'er nodded before turning around and entering the Space. After that, Laura said, "Brother Hai, what do you want to accomplish by doing this? Do we just let the O'Neal family know about the undead and iron armor beasts?" Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "They would eventually find out anyway. Don't worry, there's nothing remarkable about them discovering our mining operations. At the same time, this would also attract more attention from the O'Neal family. This way, they would be more focused on the Demon Realm."
Laura thought about it and felt that Zhao Hai's thinking wasn't wrong. They will have to face the O'Neal family eventually. With a strange place like the Demon Realm, the O'Neal family would surely be interested. With their investigations, there's no mystery if they were to find out about the undead and iron armor beasts. Instead of hiding all the time, they might as well show themselves and see how the O'Neal family reacts."
Lizzy turned her head to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, you want Penny to discover the undead and iron armor beasts in order to attract all of those scouts from the O'Neal family? Can we really delay the discovery of the Divine Realm with this method?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Impossible. The O'Neal family will not abandon the scouting of the continent in exchange for the Demon Realm. They will find the Divine Realm's spatial rift soon. But we have undead stationed in the rift, they should be able to hold on for a while. We can also use this opportunity to let the three clans be involved. This way, they'll be able to see the strength of the O'Neal Family."
Chapter 899 – Just A Step Closer!
Inside the war tank, Penny looked out into the dark sky of the Demon Realm. Due to the presence of the sun, he understood that it was currently daytime. However, daytime here was pretty similar to the dark night in the Ark Continent. Therefore, the war tank had to turn on its lights in order to travel normally.
Penny was very worried about this place. He already sent word back to the family so that they could send reinforcements to support him. He needed to figure out what this place was.
They had already affirmed that there were people living in this place. Although their architecture was different from those in the Ark Continent, there was the unfinished city outside the rift that had a similar style. It was already certain that the ones who built that huge city were people from this place.
Judging by the construction of that big city, the spatial rift should have been opened at most in the last two years.
What surprised Penny the most was the huge broken magic formation outside the rift. This was a never before seen formation. The formation wasn't small, and Penny was sure that the formation had something to do with the rift.
Most importantly, what shook Penny's heart was the fact that the people from this place had the same fate as those in the Ark Continent. All of them disappeared!
Where did the people from this plane go? How about the people from the Ark Continent? Whatever the reason for these two phenomenon was, it will certainly affect the O'Neal family. All of these thoughts plagued Penny's mind.
Because of this, after writing the letter to be sent back to the family, he personally led the team, a war tank and ten magic armors, into the Demon Realm.
The war tanks of the Atlanta Plane didn't need shields. Its main function was to transport magic armors. Installing shields on one would be a waste of resources.
Penny’s war tank, however, was different. A shield was installed in it because they were the ones who went first inside dangerous areas. Therefore, what was bestowed on them were the best war tanks of the family.
But what Penny didn't know was that their route was going to clash with an ore deposit that Zhao Hai was currently mining. Everything was under Cai'er's attention. So after she was sure that the scout team would meet the mine, she immediately went to inform Zhao Hai.
Penny was clueless about all of these. His heart was still very heavy, and the state of their team wasn't very peaceful. The magic beasts in the Demon Realm were more aggressive than the ones back in the Ark Continent. Moreover, the numbers of magic beasts here were a lot more. Although the magic beasts had entered the Space after the beast tide, not all magic beasts participated. Therefore, there were still a lot more magic beasts in the Demon Realm. Even Zhao Hai's mines were being attacked by these beasts from time to time.
The scouting team were already attacked more than ten times. Although every wave was repelled, the process didn't come easy. The weapons on the war tank couldn't even repel the magic beasts, so they would need to deploy the magic armors each time.
It was because of these attacks that Penny knew how aggressive the beasts in the Demon Realm were. Naturally, because of how formidable the magic beasts were, their crystal cores were also much bigger compared to the ones back in the Ark Continent. This allowed Penny's team to have enough energy to continue on with their journey.
At this time, a red dot was flying towards the war tank. After looking at the red dot, Penny immediately said to the war tank's driver , "Stop, Mosquito is back."
Mosquito was just a name given to one of the magic armor units under Penny's command. Although they were using the war tank to traverse the Demon Realm, Penny still sent magic armors to explore what's ahead. Magic armors were faster than war tanks, and could observe from the sky. Magic armors were able to see things the war tanks couldn't.
The war tank driver immediately responded and stopped the war tank. Then the driver pressed a button to make the roof of the tank open up, allowing entry to the magic armor. The magic armor's pilot was very good, although it entered the war tank, the tank didn't shake at all.
Penny went towards the back of the war tank, just in time as the front of the magic armor opened and the pilot got out. Upon seeing Penny arrive, the pilot immediately gave a salute and said, "Captain, we've discovered something."
Penny's spirit shook, he looked at the person and said, "What is it? Tell me."
The pilot nodded and said, "About four hours ahead of us is a mine. We discovered that there are some undead and some magic beasts mining. From what we can see, they are probably digging gold ore."
Penny stared for a moment before his two eyes shone, "You mean a gold mine? Are you sure?"
The pilot nodded. He couldn't blame Penny for his reaction. In the Atlanta Plane, gold was the circulated currency. Therefore, upon hearing about the gold mine, it was no wonder that Penny would have this expression. If there was really a gold mine, then the O'neal family's invasion of the Ark Continent would immediately pay for itself.
However, Penny continued to ask questions, "So you're saying, there are undead and magic beasts mining there? Are you sure that they are undead?"
The man nodded, "I'm absolutely sure that they're undead. But they seem to not have spotted me, and they also look quite weak."
Penny frowned, "That might be an illusion. We shouldn't forget about where we are. The magic beasts here are more formidable than those in the Ark Continent. It's certain that magic beasts have attacked that mine. For them to survive up until now means that they have clever means. We need to be careful."
After saying that, Penny turned to the war tank driver and said, "Go towards the target. Drive at full speed for two hours. Mosquito, is the road ahead good?"
Mosquito nodded and said, "It's good. There are no obstructions nor magic beasts."
Penny frowned, "That makes it even worse. For there to be no magic beasts nearby only means that they had been cleaned up. We're not too far from the spatial rift, and there are only low-ranked undead and magic beasts in the mine. It seems like this place didn't have much importance to the other party. The opposite party's true strength might have been hiding in this plane. It's imperative that we become extra careful from now on."
Mosquito gave a serious nod. After that, Penny beckoned towards Mosquito, making him take a rest. Penny needed to guarantee that his people were always in optimum condition. This place is very strange, and they didn't know how much danger they were going to meet.
Zhao Hai was paying attention to this squad. But from what he saw, he decided to not care about it. The squad was still some distance away from the mine. He'll just have to wait until the group got into contact with the undead and iron armor beasts.
This would take some several hours. Therefore, Zhao Hai wasn't too worried. Aside from the O'Neal family's scouting groups, Zhao Hai was also paying attention to Bingya and the others.
The other scouting teams that the O'Neal family sent out this time weren't in separate missions. Although they were divided, they weren't too far apart, and they still communicate with each other from time to time. This was made in order to form a huge surveillance net to scour the southern part of the Ark Continent.
Zhao Hai wasn't thinking about stopping them. If they want to come, then just come. It would just advance the date of their confrontation. There was nothing remarkable about it.
Zhao Hai looked at the situation with Bingya and the others. At this point, the vassal leaders were having a meeting with Bingya's group. Their expressions were of grief, as though they were asking to have their lives spared.
After seeing this, Zhao Hai knew that Bingya would have these people under control. Now, he needed to think about the next step. The next step that Zhao Hai thought was quite simple. He would get in touch with the Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus. He would tell them about the recent developments in the Ark Continent and then ask them to help guard the spatial rift's defensive line.
Although they were quite busy, Zhao Hai was certain that they would agree. This was because if the O'Neal family were to break through their defensive line and reach the Divine Realm, the first to be unlucky would be the three clans. Therefore, Zhao Hai wasn't worried that the three clans would refuse.
And as long as they were willing to send troops, everything else would be very easy to handle. The troops would surely get in contact with the O'Neal family. And once they meet the O'Neal family, then they would come to know how formidable the magic armors were. As long as they can perceive their future losses, Zhao Hai's invitation to the Space would be more enticing to them.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai immediately took out a messenger fish and contacted Fei'er. It has been quite a while since they two had talked.
Zhao Hai held the messenger fish and said, "Fei'er, Fei'er, are you there? It's Zhao Hai."
Zhao Hai expected that he would have to wait for quite a while. However, he didn't think that Fei'er would immediately respond. Fei'er's voice came out of the messenger fish, "Mister Zhao Hai, did something happen?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There is. I have something to tell you about the Divine Realm and the Ark Continent."
Fei'er went silent for a moment, then after calming himself down, he said, "Mister, tell me."
Zhao Hai smiled, "The situation in the Divine Realm is going smoothly. We've made an agreement with the foreign races. Together, we will deal with the Divines. I also managed to kill a Supreme Elder, the Scorpio Supreme Elder. The other Supreme Elders gathered to deal with me, but they failed. At the same time, the vassal races of the Divine Realm had started a rebellion. The Divines are currently pressed with dealing with this. Also, I managed to defeat 100 million soldiers that the Divines had sent to the Taurus Continent. In the future, the Supreme Elders would shift their focus on the foreign races in order to force me to have a decisive fight with them."
Although Zhao Hai's tone was carefree, Fei'er's heart was actually terrified. From what he heard, Zhao Hai had been in battle against the Divines several times. Otherwise, the Divines wouldn't have shifted their focus to the foreign races. The method Zhao Hai used against the Divines was the same method he used back in the Ark Continent.
However, Zhao Hai seems to have the upper hand. And for Zhao Hai to be able to compel the other vassal races to rebel was something that was beyond Fei'er's expectation.
When he heard nothing from Fei'er, Zhao Hai continued, "On the other hand, the situation in the Ark Continent isn't very good. The underworld is still expanding. The O'Neal family had sent people to the continent. They had discovered the dark mist and are now trying to investigate the south. At this point, they have troops exploring the Demon Realm and soon they will find out about the Divine Realm. I currently don't have enough strength to stop them from stepping here. Therefore, I plan to ask the three clans for help. What do you think?"
As Zhao Hai thought, Fei'er was silent for a while. Zhao Hai knew that this wasn't something that can be discussed immediately. He just wanted to open the topic so that Fei'er can discuss it with his people.
And just like that, after keeping silent for some time, Fei'er said, "I cannot take responsibility for this matter. I need to discuss this with the Patriarch. Can Mister give us some time?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Of course. It also doesn't matter if you cannot send troops. I will muster any manpower I can get in order to defend the spatial rift as much as possible. I just told you about these matters in order to inform you of the current affairs."
Fei'er nodded and said, "Alright. Mister, I will also convey this matter with the Barbarians and Winged Pegasus. I will give Mister a reply as soon as possible."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright. If you have news, then you can just call me any time. Goodbye."
Fei'er replied, "Goodbye, Mister." After that, Zhao Hai put the messenger fish down. Plastered on his face was a smile. This was because he felt that the Thunder Clan and the others were now one step closer to migrating to the Space.
Laura and the others were currently sitting next to Zhao Hai. After Zhao Hai and Fei'er's conversation was over, Laura said, "It seems like our previous actions had made the three clans less wary. Otherwise, Fei'er wouldn't have taken responsibility of this matter. We have taken a big step this time."
Zhao Hai lightly smiled and said, "We need to make big steps. If we take small measures, then I might ascend before the three clans decides to enter the Space. Now, I have confidence that the three clans would be migrating to the Space."
Laura and the others chuckled. They also knew that the three clans were now unable to escape Zhao Hai. The Space needed to be strengthened!
Chapter 900 – Finally Reached
Penny's magic armor was on a hill, looking into the mine in front. This mine wasn’t large. Moreover, there weren't any living persons here. Those working on the mine were undead and magic beasts.
This kind of magic beast was something that Penny had never seen before. It was covered in scales, and although it wasn't very tall, it was very powerful and not that slow.
On the other hand, the undead all had skeletal appearance. However, Penny didn't think like Mosquito and regarded these undead as weak. In fact, Penny thinks that these undead were very strong. However, compared to the scout team, the strength of these undead wasn't enough.
After all, they were the elites of the O'Neal family. Every magic armor present were God-ranked. Even for the O'Neal family, manufacturing such a magic armor was very difficult. Therefore, seeing the undead as lower level than them was appropriate.
Penny was very rich in experience. He wasn't the same as Theo, who hadn't experienced a real war. It can be said that Theo was one of the more recent geniuses that the O'Neal family had trained.
This time, the O'Neal family thought that the Ark Continent was a very good place, so they took Theo to try his talent. But who could've known that there were so many strange things happening in the Ark Continent, causing Theo to end up in the frontlines.
On the other hand, Penny didn't become famous as early as Theo. Moreover, in terms of talent, it can be said that Penny had none. Penny crawled from the lowest level to his current position. After going through several hundreds of missions, Penny's experience was very abundant. Because of this, he became the captain of this scouting squad.
Penny didn't dare to look down on the mine. Although it seems like its defense wasn't that solid. He could see upon further inspection that the undead were distributed quite reasonably. The undead were currently doing their own work, as if there were no threats in the surroundings. However, Penny knew that no matter which angle he attacked the mine, he would still be discovered by the undead. It can be said that the person who arranged this mine was an expert.
What surprised Penny the most was the fact that the the undead who were mining here had nobody commanding them. There wasn't even a house in sight, only a lot of open mines with undead and magic beasts going in and out. Penny couldn't see anybody else, which made him very puzzled.
In Penny's experience, the undead are controlled by a Dark Mage. Moreover, it was impossible for a Dark Mage to keep this kind of operation for a long time, it would consume a lot of magic power.
Even God-ranked Dark Mages of the Atlanta Plane couldn't make their undead go out all the time. During battles, they would release their undead. And when the fight ends, they will take the undead away.
However, Penny was already on the hill for two hours, and yet the undead were still religiously doing their work. There weren't a moment of weakness nor loss of control. This made Penny both confused and wary.
Although there weren't that much undead and magic beasts in this mine, what Penny saw was different. This mine was definitely not the only one being worked on by the opposite party. In other words, the other party had a lot more undead and magic beasts. Moreover, the other party had the ability to keep their undead working outside for a long time. This meant that the controller of these undead had the advantage with regards to longevity compared to Penny's team. After all, the magic armors needed energy while these undead apparently didn't.
After looking at the mine for some time, Penny decided to retreat. There was no need to observe this mine. Penny also wasn't ready to attack this mine because most of the workers here were undead. Although these undead might not have a controller, according to Penny's past experiences, these undead would have a spiritual connection to their owners. Attacking the undead would certainly attract the attention of the other party. And being noticed wasn't what Penny wanted right now.
However, what Penny didn't know was that his every action had been seen by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai now held great admiration towards these scouts of the O'Neal family. If he didn't have the Space, then he wouldn't have found Penny. Penny's way of moving about was something that was difficult to deal with.
However, although Zhao Hai was looking at Penny, his main focus was placed on the other scout teams that were sent to the south. Their advance was very fast. They had almost reached the border between the Buddha Empire and the Radiant Empire.
As long as they pass this border, then these people would have a huge chance of discovering the Divine Realm's spatial rift. Because of this, Zhao Hai's attention was placed on them.
At the same time, Bingya and the others had also reached an agreement with the vassal soldiers. Bingya would deliver news back to his people in order to pick the vassal soldiers up as soon as possible.
Zhao Hai didn't care too much about this matter. The only thing that surprised Zhao Hai was Bingya using such a laborious method to send the vassal soldiers to the Foreign Races' continent.
However, Zhao Hai soon came to understand. After arranging the vassal soldiers' matters, Bingya and the others immediately went to the Hell King's ship. It seems like Bingya was planning to join him once more.
Zhao Hai didn't want to drive Bingya and the others away. They can come whenever they want to. They won't have any influence to Zhao Hai. what Zhao Hai was waiting for at this time was the news from Fei'er and the others. He wanted to know the result of their discussion.
It took only five days before the people sent by the Foreign Races came to pick up the vassal races. After Bingya handed the vassal soldiers over, Zhao Hai gave the vassal soldiers their food before they left.
However, what Bingya and the others didn't expect was their people's anxiety to leave with the vassal races. They didn't even stay for a minute. This confused Bingya and the other two.
But when Bingya saw his people having a look at the Hell King's ship, he understood. These people were afraid of Zhao Hai, they wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Zhao Hai didn't manage the vassal soldiers, he just left them to the foreign races. He had more important things to do. The O'Neal family's scouts had finally reached the spatial rift to the Divine Realm.
The O'Neal family's scouts had already discovered the spatial rift four days ago. But after seeing it, the scouts didn't immediately go forward. Instead, the kept steadily moving. It looks like they were wary for any traps left by the enemy.
This way, they spent four days moving along before arriving at the spatial rift. Zhao Hai had also set up a large number of troops, waiting for the O'Neal family's arrival.
In addition to the undead army, the spatial rift also had a large number of Thunder Clan, Barbarian, and Winged Pegasus troops. After discussing for two days, the clans finally decided to send troops to the rift to help Zhao Hai defend.
Zhao Hai wasn't surprised about this decision. Therefore, when Fei'er told him about their answer, the food was already prepared for them. The only thing left to do was to wait for the troops to arrive.
As the O'Neal family's troops arrived at the spatial rift, the armies had also arrived. However, nobody saw anyone as they were at both sides of the rift.
This time, the trio led the troops. Zhao Hai already knew Fei'er, Ding, and Shan. After all, they were acquainted back in the Ark Continent.
When the troops arrived at the defensive line, they discovered that Zhao Hai was already waiting for them. After looking at the Hell King's ship in the distance, Fei'er and the others couldn't help but feel uplifted. The ship was too marvelous, their hearts couldn't help but feel at ease, their minds settled.
With an intention, Zhao Hai made the ship descend to the ground. While looking at the troops sent by the three clans, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, after you get settled in, please come on board to have a chat."
Fei'er and the others understood what Zhao Hai meant. Therefore, they nodded before they settled their troops. Only after everything was taken care of did they go to the Hell King's Ship.
When the three arrived at the ship, the discovered that Zhao Hai had prepared a table full of food and wine.
After seeing the three people arrive, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "You're here. Come, take a seat. Let's share a few cups of wine."
Fei'er and the others gave a salute before they sat down. After that, Zhao Hai said, "You coming here really made me happy. Come, join me in this toast."
The group raised their wine glasses and then downed the contents in one go.
After placing the glass down, Zhao Hai looked at the three and said, "I know you've gone through a lot of trouble in bringing these troops. For this I need to thank you."
Fei'er smiled bitterly. He didn't think that Zhao Hai would guess their situation. Just as Zhao Hai said, the troops were sent after some troubles. This was because the elders of the clans were divided whether they should cooperate with Zhao Hai or not. There were some who wanted to help Zhao Hai. After all, Zhao Hai gave them aid in dealing with the Taurus Divines. There were also those who wanted to stop cooperating with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was currently at war with the Divines. If they cooperated, then it's possible that they would get pulled into the conflict. It's possible that the three clans would perish in this war.
Chapter 901 – A Fight On Both Sides!
Actually, the argument started when the Taurus Divines were destroyed. The three clans didn't think that they would have this much loss in the war. Because of this, they became afraid.
Fei'er and the others worked extremely hard. They were still young, but they were intelligent. Compared to the conservative elders, their ideas were different.
Fei'er and the others knew that they were now closely tied with Zhao Hai. They had been able to destroy the Taurus Divines thanks to Zhao Hai. Fei'er and the other also knew that destroying the Taurus Divines will not keep their peace. It was impossible for the other Divines to just leave the Taurus Continent. It can be said that the destruction of the Taurus Divines was just the start of an endless war against the Divine Race.
Fei'er expected that such a day would come. In fact, Fei'er thought that Zhao Hai's report came a bit too late. Fei'er expected that after the Taurus Divines were extinguished, the Divine race would immediately retaliate. The reason why their clans hadn't met any attack was surely because Zhao Hai had kept the Divines off. If it weren't for Zhao Hai, then the Divine Race's army would have come to retaliate.
Now that Zhao Hai had asked them to send some troops to defend the spatial rift, no matter what purpose, the three clans couldn't refuse. It was because it will cause a crack between them and Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai stopped helping them, then with the strength of their tribes, it was impossible to stop the Divine Race army.
Moreover, Fei'er and the others were a little worried. Since Zhao Hai was able to defeat the Taurus Divines, then this meant that Zhao Hai had the means to save himself. If Zhao Hai decides to leave, then the three clans would surely be finished.
Fei'er and the others have been in contact with Zhao Hai for a long time. Although Fei'er didn't know about Zhao Hai's Space, Fei'er could still understand that Zhao Hai was a person with many solutions. Being able to defend the Ark Continent from the attacks of the Demons and the Divines, and eventually going to the Divine Realm to conquer a continent, this only meant that Zhao Hai had methods that Fei'er and the others couldn't understand.
Fei'er hopes that, one day, once Zhao Hai decides to leave the Divine Realm, that he would help the three clans move. Even if he cannot move the three clans, then at least Zhao Hai could leave behind some means of preservation so that the three clans could continue existing.
Fei'er, Ding, and Shan had experienced battles together many times, so they had developed a deep sense of friendship. Moreover, since Zhao Hai's messenger fish was with them, the three met for an exchange once in a while. Therefore, Ding and Shan knew about Fei'er's ideas, and they completely support Fei'er.
Because of this, for the deployment of troops, the three of them worked extremely hard. The three were now the most accomplished people in each of their clans. Therefore, the three had enough clout in their family to make decisions.
However, all of these conflicts were made in secret. All the while, the three clans were doing their best to keep a good relationship with Zhao Hai. Therefore, when Zhao Hai guessed the situation, Fei'er was somewhat surprised.
The reason Zhao Hai managed to guess this matter was because the troops that Fei'er and the others led were devoid of any elders. This alone must be a type of signal. Therefore, Zhao Hai spoke his words as a probe, he didn't expect that there would be a result.
When Zhao Hai saw the reaction of the three people, he placed a marker on his heart. Then he looked at the three and said, "In the decisive battle against the Taurus Divines, the loss to your clans was great. It's natural for your people to develop war weariness. The reason I asked you for troops this time was to make you take a look at the kind of enemy that you will face. If I can't stop them one day, and your clans couldn't find any countermeasures. Then you will suffer even bigger losses."
When Fei'er heard this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed as he got up and said, "I've been unfair to Mister. Our people has been unfair."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Your clansmen are just thinking about your people. At this point, my battle with the Divine Race had gone to the point of using ultimate weapons. Even if you participate in the war, there's not much that you can help. On the other hand, you need to be careful when facing the people from the Atlanta Plane. Their way of fighting is something that you and I have never encountered before."
Fei'er and the others nodded. They were still young, and they're still at an age that they looked up to someone. With Zhao Hai's strength, it's natural that the three would be deeply respectful to him.
Zhao Hai looked at the three people and smiled, "Alright, we'll not dwell on this anymore. Let's enjoy the meal today. Later on, I will provide you with supplies. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to tell me. I might not be here in the future. I heard that the Divines are planning to deal with the foreign races. I will use this opportunity to go to their continents to cause trouble."
When they heard Zhao Hai say this, Fei'er and the others couldn't help but laugh. Naturally, they could understand what Zhao Hai wanted to do. When the time comes, the Divine Race would be have a hard time.
They didn't know whether they became drunk or not, but they always relaxed in front of Zhao Hai. Since Zhao Hai didn't drink too much, he arranged some rooms for the three before returning to his room. Laura and the others were already there waiting for him.
When Zhao Hai returned to his room smelling of wine, Meg immediately gave him a cup of strong tea. This was a habit that Zhao Hai developed. Every time he drank wine, he would like to drink tea right after. With the Space's water, the tea would immediately solve Zhao Hai's drunkenness.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, how about we tell Fei'er and the others more of our secrets. From what I can see, they looked very respectful towards you. If we have their help, then we might be more successful in moving their clans to the Space."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "We'll look for an opportunity to tell them. Right, how is the situation with the O'Neal Family?"
Laura smiled faintly and said, "They seem to be relaxed. It looks like they will enter the spatial rift tomorrow. How do we deal with them?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Since there is a defensive line by the spatial rift, then we might as well make use of it. Let's make the O'Neal family know that we are waiting for them here."
At this time, a knock was suddenly heard outside the door. After that, Bingya's voice came,
"Mister, are you in?"
Bingya and the others haven't come out of their rooms today. They knew that Zhao Hai was having a meeting with Fei'er and the others, therefore they decided to stay inside.
When he heard Binya, Zhao Hai stared for a moment. He knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Bingya wouldn't have come to disturb him at this time. Zhao Hai nodded to Laura who went to the door and opened it before asking Bingya to come in.
This was the first time that Bingya had entered Zhao Hai's room. Bingya thought that Zhao Hai's room was just a bit bigger than the others, with nothing special inside. However, upon entering, Bingya couldn't help but get shocked. This wasn't a room, this was a completely independent space. There was grass on the ground and there was even a villa not far away.
However, when Bingya saw Zhao Hai, he immediately recovered. Then he walked towards Zhao Hai and bowed, "Mister, the family had just sent information to me. The Divine Race's army has been prepared. By tomorrow, they will dispatch troops towards our continent."
Zhao Hai couldn't help but knit his brows when he heard this. The O'Neal family would send their scouts in tomorrow. At the same time, the Divines would also send their troops. It seems like a fight on both sides wasn't something that he can avoid.
Bingya saw Zhao Hai frown. He thought that Zhao Hai was feeling some difficulty. Bingya's heart couldn't help but tighten. Bingya was confident that Zhao Hai could defeat the Divine Race, something that he didn't trust his own family to do. Therefore, when Zhao Hai frowned, Bingya couldn't help but get anxious.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai just slightly frowned and nodded, "Alright. It seems like the Divines are ready to fight. Right, can you find out whether the Supreme Elders are coming to deal with the foreign races?"
Bingya nodded, "I've inquired. I heard from the family that seven are coming."
Zhao Hai nodded. This was what he expected. Leaving two Supreme Elders to defend while the others would attack. This went according to what Elder Star and the others discussed. However, this was an opportunity for Zhao Hai.
After seeing that Zhao Hai hasn't spoken for a while, Bingya looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, do you have any words to send to our family?"
Zhao Hai looked at Bingya and smiled, "Not too much. Just tell them that they need to defend well. I will go to the continents of the Divine Race in order to deal with this matter."
Bingya nodded and said, "There is another thing. The vassal races had reached the foreign races. When their clans found out that they had fought with Mister, they were very ashamed. They had me come here to express their apology."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "It's fine, no need to say sorry. So, are they willing to fight against the Divines? Right, if you clan needs any weapons, I might provide some for you."
When Bingya heard this, he immediately replied, "Thank you Mister. Our family does need some weapons right now. Magic beast mounts, javelins, and some magic cannons would be good."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I can give you some magic beasts. However, I can't give you magic cannons. My blood lightning javelins are also quite deadly. They should be fine." Bingya's face lit up as he thanked Zhao Hai before taking his leave.
Chapter 902 – Science and Technology Background and Universal Scanner
The reason why Zhao Hai didn't give Bingya any magic cannons was because Zhao Hai's magic cannons used special crystals. And he didn't want the Divine Race to know about that.
One day quickly passed by. The next day, Fei'er and the others were still tipsy. It was only after eating breakfast did they recover. They also knew from Zhao Hai that the Atlanta Plane may attack today. Therefore, they immediately returned to their armies after eating.
Zhao Hai also knew that the Divines would attack the foreign races, however, he wasn’t anxious to deal with them. He wanted the Divines to fight against the foreign races for a period of time before he goes to give aid. In the meantime, Zhao Hai wanted to stay here and deal with the O'Neal family in order to get a couple of magic armors for himself.
Although Zhao Hai wasn't planning to fight with the Divines right now, he was preparing to deal with them. The most important thing for him right now was to get more God-ranks and produce more Scorpio combat suits to be handed over to the Devil Legion.
These days, Zhao Hai had already accrued several hundred Scorpio Combat suits and had given it to the Devil Legion to use. Because of the added functions of the combat suits, the Devil Legion had yet to get fully accustomed to using them. Therefore, they needed to train for some time. Only then can Zhao Hai take them and then sweep the entire world clean.
In addition to the combat suits for the Demons, Zhao Hai also produced a lot of God-rank potions. At this point, almost all of the Buda Clan's members were God-ranks, even Laura and the others. But although they had reached God-rank, their combat power was still a lot worse than a full God-rank expert.
The O'neal family didn't let Zhao Hai wait for a long time. At around 9 in the morning, a 30-man team of magic armors flew in from the spatial rift.
The reason why the O'Neal family failed to find Zhao Hai's defensive line was because the defensive line was covered by Zhao Hai's fog. This thick fog wasn't the dark mist but just an ordinary white fog. However, this fog can block the Divine Sense of God-ranks and other means of detection. Therefore, the O'Neal family had no way of knowing what was going on inside the fog.
It was because of Zhao Hai's arrangement that the O'Neal family wasn't able to discover that Zhao Hai had set-up a defensive line.
The 30 magic armors flew towards the white fog slowly and carefully. Moreover, they maintained their humanoid form and didn't transform. They needed to be prepared for battle at any time.
Just as the team were being careful, a few blue lights suddenly went straight towards them. The O'Neal family immediately avoided the lights.
This tactical avoidance was something that magic armor pilots must study. This was in preparation to avoid attacks made by both battle qi and magic.
And since these scouts were the elites of the O'Neal family, their movements were extremely done well. No blue light was able to hit even a single magic armor.
However, just as the blue light missed, another barrage of blue lights came in, and with greater magnitude. The O'Neal family's soldiers didn't have the means to hide immediately so they quickly established their shields. At the same time, they also launched an attack towards the blue lights.
The magic armor attacks came in the form of white energy beams that seemed more concentrated. When the white energy collided with the blue energy, a loud noise was immediately heard.
The two energy beams collided together, causing a huge explosion that blew the fog away. This allowed the O'Neal scouts to see their enemies. Not far from them was a defensive line. There seems to be a lot of shadows on that defensive line, signalling how large the army was.
Upon seeing this, the O'Neal family's scouts stopped. Then they went into a tactical formation and slowly retreated.
However, it was too late for them to retreat at this time. Blue lights came in from behind them. The blue lights were woven into a light net, surrounding the magic armors. They can't even hide if they wanted to.
However, the O'Neal family's scouts reacted very quickly. They immediately formed a circular formation. All the magic armors set up their shields and then sent out energy beams from their hands. The cooperation of these people were well-coordinated, the blue lights were unable to hit them even once.
But the blue light kept coming. The O'Neal family's scouts felt the pressure on them getting bigger and bigger.
At this moment, someone from the team loudly said, "Explosive attacks! We'll blow a path for retreat. Otherwise, we will get stuck here forever."
It was obvious that his person was the commander of the team. As soon as he said that, the magic armors immediately moved. Something suddenly elevated from their shoulders, of which had four holes each.
On each shoulder were four small missiles. The missiles were immediately launched and headed towards the source of the blue light.
After a loud noise, the blue lights coming from that place evidently decreased. The O'Neal family scouts used this opportunity to retreat back towards the Ark Continent.
Meanwhile, blue lights kept coming towards the scouts, getting blocked by the shields all the time. Although the blue lights were lessened, those left were still quite a lot. The scouts can only resist and block the blue lights. It was necessary for the blue lights to be blocked by the shield. However, using the shield to block the blue lights consumed energy. The energy on each magic armor was getting consumed rapidly.
Then suddenly, two magic armors on the rear of the team were grazed by uniquely strong blue lights. Their shields flashed for a moment before it disappeared. There was no need to wait before the two magic armors were bombarded by the blue lights.
The two magic armors didn't explode. Instead, they were frozen in an instant. The magic armors immediately fell, but before reaching the ground, a spatial rift took them in.
The demise of the two magic armors were naturally seen by the other scouts. They became startled, but they also became more careful.
They didn't know what the blue lights were, and they didn't know why the rift appeared. However, they can affirm that the two magic armors and their pilots were already gone.
Actually, the two strong blue lights weren't anything special. They were just light beams made from combining several magic cannons.
This time, Zhao Hai didn't attack from start to finish. He just let the undead attack the magic armors using magic cannons. He wants to see how how capable the magic armors were.
The result startled Zhao Hai. He didn't think that the magic armors would actually be this defensive.
After taking the two magic armors, Zhao Hai immediately threw them to the Space. When the two armors were sent in, a prompt immediately came, "Magic and Technology machine detected. The machine is the primary product of the combination between magic and science. The machine has fulfilled the requirements of opening science and technology backgrounds. Asking host for permission to open science and technology backgrounds."
Zhao Hai stared, for a while he didn't understand what the Space said. After a short time, an additional prompt came, "Due to the discovery of a unified magic and technological item, a special item has been offered, the Universal Scanner. This machine can analyze, design, compute, and simulate various items from magic civilizations, science and technology civilizations, and even cultivation civilizations.The machine can be upgraded further. In order to use this item, host needs to achieve level 80 and above, has unlocked magic civilizations, and science and technology civilizations, as well as 5 million gold coins. Asking host for permission to unlock this item."
Zhao Hai was stunned. The Universal Processing Machine already gave him a surprise. Now, he didn't expect that a Universal Scanner would exist, and it could actually be upgraded. It looks like its functions were formidable. Zhao Hai went still, he felt that his head was turning.
However, Zhao Hai managed to recover quickly as he said, "Open the background and the special item." After saying this, he can immediately feel the Space taking more than 5 million gold coins from his wallet. After that, a building appeared right beside the processing machine.
The processing machine's building looked just like a simple workshop, there's nothing magnificent about it at all. On the other hand, this new structure was three stories high. It had the standard architecture of a science and technology civilization. It was made with metallic frames and also had glass for windows. It appeared neat and clean.
Zhao Hai badly wished to enter the Space right now to look at this scanner. However, he stopped himself from doing so. He can only look at the scanner through the monitor. This was because Zhao Hai was afraid that if he enter the Space, then he would ascend the moment he went out.
This was something that Zhao Hai felt. He feels that if he entered the Space, then he would have to ascend once he goes back out again. It was precisely because of this feeling that Zhao Hai doesn't dare to enter the Space. He could only command the Space through his mind and look through its situation through the monitor.
As Zhao Hai processed the Space's prompt, the O'Neal family's scouts were continually being hunted. Although some of them were shot down by the magic cannons, most of them eventually managed to get out.
In addition to the magic armors' strength, the people outside the rift also played a role in assisting the retreating scouts. With the combination of magic armors and war tanks, they were able to escape smoothly.
Fei'er and the others led their army and stood by the side, watching the undead as they fought against the magic armors. To be honest, the result of the fight was beyond their expectations. Not only because they were happy that five magic armors were taken down, but also because they only had this much achievement.
They knew how formidable the magic cannons were. Even the Divines wouldn't dare to block them directly. However, those magic armors actually suffered a lot of attacks from the magic armors without being wiped out. This startled Fei'er and the others.
And then there was also the attacking strength exhibited by the magic armors. One must know that there were over a thousand magic cannons who participated in the attack. In the end, they only managed to down five magic armors. This result was below expectations. And when the counter-attack from the magic armors came in, they actually ruined 200 of Zhao Hai's magic cannons. These magic cannons were destroyed undear Zhao Hai's defensive magic formations. The attack not only depleted the energy of the formation, it also managed to destroy 200 magic cannons. Such attacking strength made Fei'er and the other feel cold in their hearts.
Zhao Hai's defensive formations were very formidable. Even Divines would treat them as a headache. Who would've thought that the magic armors would actually destroy them in one round of attacks.
Once the magic armors retreated back to the Ark continent, Fei'er and the others began to loosen up. Although the time of today's battle was short, they had the sense of being breathless just by observing it. It was too fierce, it was to a degree that surpassed their imagination.
After the fight ended, Fei'er, Ding, Shan, Bingya, Ryder, and Yehta looked at the battlefield. Their expressions sunken. It was at this point that they finally believed Zhao Hai. The opponent was indeed difficult to deal with.
Think about it, there were only 30 magic armors and they were under attack by a thousand magic cannons. There was also the geographic advantage as well as the element of ambush. In the end, they only managed to shoot down 5 of the 30 magic armors. The rest ran away while also causing Zhao Hai to lose 200 magic cannons and more than 100 undead.
Fei'er and the others knew that Zhao Hai only used 9th rank undead in order to man the magic cannons. In their opinion, 9th ranks weren't very strong. After all, Fei'er and the others were all God-ranks.
However, although these undead weren't strong in their eyes, 9th rank undead were still a threat. Even demigods wouldn't be able to easily deal with them. But now, an explosion caused by the enemy party actually managed to kill more than 100 of them.
The undead under Zhao Ha's command were very hard to deal with. Fei'er and the others knew how Zhao Hai managed to destroy the Taurus Divines. These undead were not only offensively strong, they're quite defensive as well. Under the undead attacks, no enemy would feel easy. This fact alone showed how formidable magic armors were!
Shocked, frightened, and a feeling hint of despair, these emotions were running around Fei'er and the others' hearts!
Chapter 903 – Zhao Hai's Thoughts
Zhao Hai didn't know about what Fei'er and the others were thinking. Right now, he badly wanted to see the changes made in the Space, but he still resisted. He still had a lot of things to do, he didn't want to ascend right now.
Zhao Hai made the undead clean the battlefield before returning to the Taurus Continent. At this time, Fei'er and the others also arrived on the Hell King's ship.
As soon as Fei'er and the others entered the ship, Zhao Hai could see the evident weight on their expressions. It looked like they were the ones defeated in the battle.
Zhao Hai gawked, he looked at Fei'er and said, "What's wrong? Why do all of you look so sad?"
Fei'er looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly before he said, "Mister, this enemy has gone beyond our expectations. They seem to be more formidable than the Divine Race. Can we really win against them?"
After hearing this, Zhao Hai immediately understood why Fei'er and the others were looking so sad. To be honest, Zhao Hai was also startled at the performance made by the O'Neal family. However, he didn't think the same as Fei'er and the others. Although the attack power of the magic armors wasn't bad, to say that they were invincible was too much.
Moreover, Zhao Hai knew that the magic armors of the O'Neal family scouts were high-level magic armors. It's impossible for the whole of O'Neal family's troops to have that kind of firepower.
Zhao Hai looked at Fei'er and the others, he smiled faintly and said, "It's alright. There's no need to be worried about this matter. Those people didn't come in due to our provocation. And if they really did come, it's impossible for us to not resist. However, they are not invincible. I have some understanding about these people. Come and have a seat while we talk."
Fei'er and the others nodded before they sat down. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "I have met with a person from the Atlanta Plane before. At that time, I didn't express my status. The only thing I told him was the fact that I'm someone from the Ark Continent. I didn't tell him the state of the continent as well. I told him that the Ark Continent only had 9th ranks and couldn't raise God-rank experts. During that time, I was preparing to counter-attack the Divine Realm."
Fei'er and the others didn't expect that Zhao Hai to have met someone from the Atlanta Plane. This information startled them. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "The people from the Atlanta Plane are special. Actually, the Atlanta Plane is…." Then Zhao Hai introduced the Atlanta Plane to Fei'er and the others, and the fact that only the O'Neal family were their enemies.
Fei'er and the others silently listened to Zhao Hai. They didn’t expect Zhao Hao to have looked into the enemy this much. He even managed to learn that Atlanta Plane's language.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, "Although the magic armors we saw today are very strong, those are already the elites of the O'Neal family. They are the strongest troops of the family. Defeating even a single one of them is already good, judging by how valued they are to the O'Neal family. In addition to this, magic armors have a fatal weakness."
Fei'er and the others looked puzzled at Zhao Hai, they were waiting for what was next. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The magic armors has a problem when it comes to long term encounters. Inside those magic armors are people, yet those people don't supply energy to the armors. Instead, the magic armors have their own power supply. All of the power needed by the magic armors are also made by energy conversion devices. I don't know how the people of the Atlanta Plane did it, but the energy conversion device can extract energy to form magic crystals that can power magic armors. It can be said that without magic crystals, magic armors are just pieces of scrap iron."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Fei'er and the others shone. They understood what Zhao Hai just meant. They were people who had been in battles in the past and were experienced with matters of war. Therefore, upon hearing Zhao Hai speak about this energy source, they immediately knew about the magic armors' weakness.
When he saw the group's expresion light up, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "So now you know their weakness? Hahaha. Yes, the magic armors couldn't fight for a very long time. Moreover, when they make battle, their energy consumption becomes much stronger. This is our enemy's biggest weakness."
Fei'er looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, those people didn't play for long and just ran. Is it because the magic cannons are too strong, consuming their energy? Is that why they retreated? If they didn't, then they would have been rendered useless. When the time comes, we can just round them up."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Correct. Therefore, during their attacks, they always have war tanks following behind. Those war tanks might be quick and defensive, but their attacking strength isn't a lot. If we can constrain those war tanks, then we can cripple the advancing speed of those magic armors. And if the war tanks aren't available, then the magic armors wouldn't be able to fight. Most importantly, those war tanks aren't able to fly."
Fei'er and the others had a smile on their faces. They thought that the magic armors were invincible. But it was just because they didn't have an understanding of them. Now, with Zhao Hai's information, there's no need to be afraid.
After seeing his goal achieved, Zhao Hai didn't say anything more. Instead, he proceeded to discuss with Fei'er and the others about how to deal with the O'Neal family.
Besides Fei'er's group, Bingya's group was also in the Hell King's ship. Bingya and the others had followed Zhao Hai ever since he attacked the Taurus Divines, therefore, they were also acquainted with Fei'er and the others. It can be said that their relationship wasn't bad. Because of this, sitting and chatting with each other wasn't an awkward event.
Zhao Hai calmly looked at the group. It can be said that the people onboard were all targets of Zhao Hai. He wanted to pull them to his side and become his people.
However, Zhao Hai knew that he couldn't be direct to these people just like what he did with the Demons. The reason Zhao Hai succeeded with the Demons was because the Demons wanted to change their environment in the first place. The Demon Realm was just too terrible a place to live in.
On the other hand, the people of the Ark Continent moved to the Space because of many reasons. The first reason was due to them having three enemies at that time, the Demons, the Divines, and the Underworld. Moreover, either one of these enemies wasn't something that the Ark Continent could deal with. The second reason was Zhao Hai's high prestige among the people.
Although Zhao Hai wasn't treated as a god at that time, there were people who placed his portrait on their houses. They were already looking at him as an idol.
With these reasons combined together, the Ark Continent's people decided to leave and move into the Space.
Meanwhile, the Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus had living environments much better than the Ark Continent. Their respective planes could produce God-rank experts. Naturally, their planes weren't as good as the Space. However, they also won't envy those living inside the Space, making them very different than the Demons.
In addition to this, the Thunder Clan and the others had just broken out from being controlled by the Divine Race. Although they had cooperated with Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai's reputation among their people wasn't that high. Making the three clans migrate to the Space would be quite difficult.
Although Fei'er and the others were very respectful towards Zhao Hai, these three people were considerate to their own races. If Zhao Hai wanted to win them over, then he would have to be careful.
The situation with Bingya and the others was much more complex. Bingya and the others' status in their clans weren't high, they didn't have too many rights to make decisions. And with them being very loyal to their people, winning them over wouldn't be very easy.
Because he needed to consider all of these, Zhao Hai decided to refrain from telling these people many of his secrets. Zhao Hai knew that the Space wouldn't be able to convince these people given the Space's weak power over beings with wisdom.
The reason why the Great Demon King, a person with extremely firm mental state, decided to move towards the Space was only due to the Space's highly beneficial environment. And the Demon King also believed that if Zhao Hai doesn't deliver on his promise, then the Demons would surely retaliate. It was precisely because of these reason that the Demon King decided to agree with Zhao Hai's proposal and moved the Demons to the Space.
Moreover, after entering the Space, the Great Demon King was still fighting for the interests of the Demons. This wasn't the same as what Zhao Hai experienced before.
Because of this, Zhao Hai was made aware that the Space wasn't an all-powerful existence. With regards to intelligent lifeforms, the Space's abilities were very limited.
Fei'er's group as well as Bingya's group were vastly different compared to the Great Demon King. The Great Demon King was the lord of the Demon Realm, an incomparably high existence compared to any other Demon. One could say that as long as one persuades the Great Demon King, then the entire Demon Race would also be persuaded. And with Lu Wei's matter, Zhao Hai was able to take the risk and persuade the Great Demon King.
On the other hand, Fei'er and the others weren't the leaders of their own people. There were still people with positions above them. Words spoken by Fei'er and the others wouldn't bear too much of a weight. Even if Zhao Hai managed to persuade them, it didn't mean that he had persuaded their entire clans. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't risk expressing all of his secrets.
At this time, Zhao Hai was still observing Fei'er and the others. As long as Zhao Hai's position in Fei'er and the others' hearts stump their feeling towards their people, only then would Zhao Hai try to make a move.
Zhao Hai needed people at this time. Now that he had unlocked the science and technology background, this meant that he would have more space. If nobody occupies those backgrounds, then they would be wasted. Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted to recruit as many people as he can. However, he couldn’t do this unreasonably. Making a lot of people aware of his secret wasn't a good thing to do.
