Great Calamity is Approaching
Execute the Nine Monarchs?
The gazes everyone looked at Kongwang with were as if they were looking at a madman, especially the representatives of the Five Great Realms, their expressions were incomparably brilliant!
One had to know, the Nine Monarchs were the foundation for the existence of the Nine Great Realms. Executing the Nine Monarchs meant that the Nine Great Realms would all be annihilated, and everything would be completely swallowed by the Gray World.
Let me make a request of you, annihilate your own race...
Kongwang's request was simply so absurd it was laughable.
"If you want to joke around, I can have my youngest son who is currently in school come over and joke with you all day... He really likes jokes." The representative of the South Sea Domain chuckled.
But immediately after, his expression turned cold. "However, we didn't come running over to joke with you."
"This isn't a joke." Kongwang spoke unhurriedly,
But if you don't execute all the Nine Monarchs within two years, humanity will inevitably perish."
At this moment, the expressions of all the realm representatives changed.
Perhaps it was because Kongwang exposed with a single sentence that there were Demigods existing in the several great realms, perhaps it was because of the "humanity extinction theory" Kongwang spoke of, or perhaps it was his attitude of truly intending for the several great realms to execute the Nine Monarchs... In short, at this moment, the several representatives realized the severity of the matter.
No wonder Kongwang insisted on using these participants as hostages to force them to come negotiate with him. If he went knocking on their doors to converse with the representatives of the Five Great Realms, and his opening words were "I want you to execute the Nine Monarchs," he would probably be taken down in the next moment, with absolutely no opportunity for an equal dialogue.
"What does humanity's extinction have to do with executing the Nine Monarchs? What nonsense are you spouting?" The representative of the Hanging Jade Domain frowned and spoke.
"The emergence of the Path of Ghosts will inevitably be accompanied by great calamity... This sentence wasn't spoken randomly." Kongwang said indifferently. "But it is not my appearance that will trigger a great calamity in the human world, but rather, only when the human world is about to have a great calamity will the ghost gate open... My standing here is proof that a great calamity is approaching."
"Great calamity? Where would a great calamity come from??"
"Could it be the Wuji Domain..."
The several realm representatives exchanged glances, falling into deep thought.
"No, even if the Wuji Domain is indeed dangerous, at most it would just be executing the Lord of Wuji... What does it have to do with the other Nine Monarchs?" The Tower Master spoke in a deep voice.
"A single Lord of Wuji would not cause the ghost gate to open. He cannot be considered a 'calamity' yet... What I am referring to is something even closer to the source than the Nine Monarchs." Kongwang shook his head.
"Closer to the source?"
"If we guessed correctly..." Kongwang raised his hand and pointed to the sky. "It is about to return."
The several realm representatives were stunned. Then, as if they had thought of something, their faces instantly became ugly!
"The Red Star?!"
The Tower Master muttered to himself.
As the Tower Master of this generation's Tower to Heaven, he firmly believed in the Lord of Tianshu's past prophecy. The Red Star would inevitably descend upon Earth again at some time in the future, and calculating its trajectory was precisely the task of the Tianshu Domain... When Kongwang pointed to the sky, he immediately thought of what the so-called "great calamity" was.
"If that's the case, shouldn't we guard the Nine Monarchs even more?" The Tower Master said in a deep voice,
"In the early stage of the Great Cataclysm three hundred years ago, humanity didn't have the Nine Monarchs and suffered heavy casualties... In this era, although our technology is not as good as before the Great Cataclysm, we have the Nine Monarchs and Demigods presiding over things. They are our reliance against the Red Star!"
"Why do you think the Red Star will return?" Kongwang spoke airily.
The Tower Master pondered for a moment. "We are not clear on this point yet. Calculating its trajectory is the purpose of our Tianshu Domain..."
"Because a part of it was left on Earth. It is returning to retrieve the part of itself that it lost." Kongwang continued to speak, "And the Nine Monarchs are the carriers of that part... In other words, it is the Nine Monarchs who attracted it."
Kongwang's single sentence left everyone present stunned in place.
"Its fragments achieved the Nine Monarchs, and the Nine Monarchs protected you... But now, they will become the source that triggers the second disaster.
When it descends for the second time, no one will be able to survive. You, the Nine Monarchs, or even the undead world, will all be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the best way to prevent all this is to execute the Nine Monarchs right now."
These words of Kongwang were like a heavy bomb, exploding beside everyone's ears... Even Chen Ling, who was holding a Walkie-talkie within the Old District, running while monitoring the conversation, slowly stopped his body, unable to hide the shock on his face.
The amount of information contained in these words was too massive, causing the five realm representatives to be stunned in place for a time, their brains spinning rapidly.
Soon, the representative of the Tianshu Domain, the Tower Master of the Tower to Heaven, frowned and spoke:
"I have a few questions:
First, your so-called 'The Red Star is coming for the Nine Monarchs', is there evidence to prove it?
Second, assuming what you said is correct, and the Red Star is indeed coming for the Nine Monarchs, then on what basis are you certain that after executing the Nine Monarchs, the Red Star will avoid Earth? The death of the Nine Monarchs doesn't necessarily mean the dissipation of the Red Star's power on Earth, right? What if they exist in a different way?
Third, assuming all of the above holds true, does that mean the Red Star is actually an individual with self-consciousness? If so, will it feel angry because of the disappearance of its residual power, and instead become even more determined to destroy Earth?
Fourth, does everything you said represent your personal viewpoint, or is it the conclusion of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path or the undead world?"
The Tower Master of the Tower to Heaven was after all the leader in charge of the Tianshu Domain, and also of the Path of the Artisan. His logical thinking ability far exceeded ordinary people. It was impossible to sway his thoughts with just a few words from Kongwang, and he quickly raised rebuttals.
Kongwang frowned and stared at the Tower Master. After remaining silent for a long time, he answered:
"Everything stems from the prophecies and deductions of our six paths of the ghost vault within the undead world... We cannot give you any evidence, nor is there any way to be certain that everything is absolutely correct...
But executing the Nine Monarchs is absolutely the most hopeful and quickest method to achieve for humanity."
"In other words, the feasibility is unknown." The Tower Master nodded slightly. "I'm very sorry, we will not execute the Nine Monarchs... At least before we gather conclusive evidence, we will not do so. We will not abandon the living environment of tens of millions of people and execute the Nine Monarchs just because of your one-sided story."
The other four realm representatives also had the same thought. Compared to the Red Star whose descent was still unknown, the chain reaction caused by executing the Nine Monarchs was even more unacceptable to them.
Kongwang didn't seem surprised by their decision. He merely shook his head somewhat helplessly, and let out a long sigh...
