Nobody knew how Meng Huo sent the message and what he said. God of Meng just broke into the Hag Race tribes, creating quite a disturbance.
Chee-ker went out with other important Hags to greet him right away. Meng Huo knew that God of Meng was coming so he went out to welcome as well.
Lu Li didn't move. They were here to bring the Titan Race under their control. Even if the God of Meng was at the Human Sovereign Realm, Lu Li must stay calm all the same. Otherwise, it would be them swearing loyalty to God of Meng, not the other way.
"Boom, boom!"
God of Meng walked over with Meng Huo. Before they reached the sacred place, a surge of monster-like qi and energy already spread over and enveloped the entire place.
Human Sovereign Realm warriors all had horrifying qi and energy, even more so for the Titan Race. What was more, it was evident that God of Meng came with hostility. He emitted his most powerful qi and energy, suffocating Lu Li and others. It was like clouds gathering before a storm, suffocating, suppressing and terrifying.
Lu Li didn't come out.
Meng Zhi and Ye Cha did. They stood outside of the sacred place, looking at God of Meng indifferently. The Titan Race stemmed from the Mammoth Race. As the current Clan Leader of the Mammoth Race, Meng Zhi was confident despite the fact that he was in a lower realm than the God of Meng. But he had a higher status.
The Cyan Phoenix Race once was a great race in the ancient times and the Mammoth Race had been following the Cyan Phoenix Race. In other words, the Mammoth Race was the Cyan Phoenix Race's henchman and the Titan Race would be the henchman's henchman. Ye Cha was confident for a reason. God of Meng was at the Human Sovereign Realm, so what? Back in the days, there was quite a handful of those at the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race.
God of Meng was slightly different from Meng Huo in appearances. The former was larger and his skin tone was closer to golden.
He had an impressive bearing. He stared at Meng Zhi with indifference for a while before he said, "You are Meng Zhi, the current Clan Leader of the Mammoth Race?"
Meng Zhi nodded and said, "Why haven't you saluted me? The Titan Race has denounced your ancestors?"
Meng Zhi's words surprised God of Meng. Meng Huo and the other Titans seemed displeased. Meng Zhi had no other choice. He knew very well why Lu Li wanted to be here. He aspired to help Lu Li take down the Deserted World as well. Therefore, he had to use the roots of origins to suppress God of Meng!
Ancestral origin was something that was very well valued at the Great Land. Even though Lu Li had no emotional attachment to the Lu Family and he felt the coldness in the Family, he was still displeased when the Lu Family drove him out and hoped to create a new Lu Family at the Northern Desert.
Ancestral origin was a warrior's root. Allowing a warrior's ancestral tablet into the ancestral temple of the family was the only way to ensure that the warrior would not wander in the wild after death.
There were many strands of forces in the world but essentially, they were made up by families. Families ruled all and interests of a family enjoyed superiority than anything else. People of the Great Land valued nothing as much as their families.
Granted, the Mammoth Race and the Titan Race didn't have a good relationship but the fact that Titan Race stemmed from the Mammoth Race could not be changed.
Meng Zhi, as the current Clan Leader of the Mammoth Race, was allowed to order God of Meng to kneel to him. If God of Meng refused, he would be acting in defilement of his ancestors unless the Titan Race declared independence and denied the connection to the Mammoth Race.
A glint of coldness flashed past God of Meng's eyes. Then he bowed slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Greetings."
The Human Sovereign Realm God of Meng lowed his proud head but he didn't kneel down. This was a demonstration of his attitude.
The Titan Race still acknowledged the Mammoth Race as their ancestors but it didn't mean that the former had to listen to every command given by the latter.
Meng Zhi and Ye Cha were already happy with this. Meng Zhi said, "Rise now. We are essentially the same race and we are faced with a bleak future since our ancestral lands are taken and our disciples withered away because of the catastrophe. Now, it is the high time for us to devote concerted efforts to develop and grow together. I hope that you can have a clear judgment on the current situation, forget about the ill feelings of the past and let us work together to take back our ancestral land and rebuild our glory."
Once again, Meng Zhi tried to remind God of Meng using his status. Meng Zhi had no other choice. If the situation was reversed where Meng Zhi was the Human Sovereign Realm one and God of Meng was only at the Noble Lord Realm, Meng Zhi would have used much stronger and assertive words…
For Mammoth Race, the Titan Race were traitors, crossbreed…
Meng Huo and the other Titans were amused by the words but God of Meng paused for a second. Meng Zhi's words sounded bullying but he had acknowledged one thing—the two races were essentially the same? It meant that the Mammoth Race would be willing to accept the Titan Race as a branch?
The forefather of the Titan Race defected the Mammoth Race and the Mammoth Race had been regarding him as a traitor. Later on, the Mammoth Race did give consent to the existence of Titan Race but never acknowledged publicly the status of the Titan Race.
The forefather of the Titan Race died with everlasting regret. In his will, he stated that all the Clan Leaders to come of the Titan Race must exhaust their means to gain the approval of the Mammoth Race and to go back to their original family.
God of Meng was inspired by the signal. After some thoughts, he said, "Clan Leader Meng Zhi, what can we do you for?"
Meng Huo told him some things using their communication methods but God of Meng needed to hear it from Meng Zhi himself.
Since Meng Zhi showed willingness of cooperation, God of Meng wanted to wait for Meng Zhi to name conditions to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
Meng Zhi and Ye Cha looked at each other, feeling happy secretly. So it would seem that God of Meng cared about whether Mammoth Race would grant the branch status to the Titan Race. If so, there was much room for maneuver.
Meng Zhi had already had a plan but he was not the one conjured up the plan. It was Lu Li and Ye Cha.
Meng Zhi said, "We have controlled the entire Northern Desert out there and we are very powerful now. We want to develop by starting at the Northern Desert and then kill our way back to the Central Plains so we can take back our ancestral lands. We are here to invite you to join us in this grand mission."
Meng Huo and the other Titans were giving sarcastic looks. They were showing in a silent way that Meng Zhi was biting off more than he could chew and asking for the moon.
As the Clan Leader, Meng Zhi would not show so many emotions. After considering about it, he asked, "How powerful are you exactly? Also…how many warriors do you have? Are there anyone at the Earthly Immortals Realm? How many are at the Human Sovereign Realm?"
This was a very good question. Meng Zhi felt embarrassed and so did Ye Cha. After some thoughts, Meng Zhi replied, "We don't have any Human Sovereign Realm warriors but our Saint Lord is a talented young man. He will be able to reach the Human Sovereign Realm and even the Earthly Immortals Realm in a couple of years. As long as we have resources, we and the Cyan Phoenix Race will develop quickly as well. We still have hope…"
Meng Zhi's voice dropped. He didn't feel confident saying any of this. Ye Cha said nothing and remained silent.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
God of Meng laughed. He shook his head and said with a sigh, "Meng Zhi, are you an idiot or what? How did our two races get destroyed? Have you forgotten how the 10,000 races were massacred? Have you forgotten it all? When humans needed you, they would promise you anything. When they were done with you, they would swing their swords at you. Just because a promise from a tiny human, you have sworn your loyalty?"
"What is more pathetic is that you have such delusions. You think that he can bring you back to the Central Plains to take back your ancestral lands? Who are the ones that destroyed the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race? The Samsara Palace, the Yaksha Race, the Palace of Immortals Inquiries, Great Buddhist Temple, and Pavilion of Blossoms. Human Sovereign Realm warriors are worthless for the six because there are so many of them and they even have a number of Earth Immortals Realm warriors. One young man against six forces? What, are you nuts?"
