Chapter 841 - - Speed is the essence of war.

—————✧✧✧✧—————

The Underworld Emperor and Demon Emperor were Duge’s allies, and next to these two Quasi-Saints, even a Daluo Golden Immortal seemed somewhat insignificant.

“Old Gao, what should we do? The Immortal Emperor hasn’t made a move yet. A day in the heavens is a hundred days on earth. For every day the Immortal Emperor spends in the heavens, three months pass by in the Mortal Realm.” Yin Erchuan said, “By the time he loses a battle, and we rush to help, it’ll be too late. If you ask me, we might as well take the Daoist Ancestor’s Token and go to the South Heaven Gate and side with him.”

“Erchuan is right. Brother Du excels at blitzkrieg. Give him three months, and he would have gathered enough momentum to crush the forces of the Heavenly Court. By then, what’s the point of us fighting?” Yu Xia said, “The Immortal Emperor’s response is also too slow. Besides, he has no intention of waging a propaganda war, which is simply foolish.”

“Yes, Brother Gao, let’s just enter the Heavenly Court!” Zhang Desheng, who possessed the keyword of deep affection, said, “At the very least, we need to make the Immortal Emperor realize the severity of the situation…”

“The Immortal Emperor wouldn’t be foolish enough not to have a single Alien Warrior by his side, right?” Feng Chang, who possessed the keyword of reaping, said, “Don’t those Alien Warriors know that Duge is good at fast pushes?”

“A man is known by the company he keeps. Even if there are Alien Warriors captured by the Immortal Emperor, would they sincerely offer him any useful advice?” Yin Kaiyun, whose keyword was hatred, said, “Perhaps the Alien Warriors under the Immortal Emperor would rather delay the time, hoping to drag it out until the Alien Battlefield ends!”

“What do you think is Brother Du’s ultimate goal? What does he hope to rely on to break free from Pan-Universe Entertainment?” Gao Ming, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, “Becoming a saint? It is rumored among Alien Warriors that becoming a saint allows one to escape the control of Pan-Universe Entertainment.”

“That rumor was spread by Brother Du, so it’s probably false,” Yu Xia said. “The Daoist Ancestor became a saint, yet he still sneaks around, not daring to face Pan-Universe Entertainment directly, and yet he pushes us to the front.”

“Gao Ming, are you really going to seriously treat Brother Duge as an enemy?” Yin Kaiyun looked at Gao Ming and asked curiously.

“What else?” Gao Ming glanced at him. “To convincingly play the part, we must truly see Duge as the enemy. Otherwise, who are you going to fool? Brother Du or the Immortal Emperor? Without a solid reason, just relying on the Daoist Ancestor’s Token, we might get captured by the Immortal Emperor as soon as we enter the Heavenly Court, or at the very least, we would be marginalized.

If we become marginalized in the Immortal Court, we can’t raise our influence. Once the time extends beyond three months, how many of our more than ten people will remain?”

“Fuck!” Yin Kaiyun’s expression changed, and he cursed.

“Old Gao is right, to effectively play out this act, we must treat Duge as a real enemy. Playing both sides will only result in failure,” Yin Erchuan said. “With the Underworld Emperor and Demon Emperor forming an alliance with Brother Du, it’s very likely that the Twilight Calamity has already taken effect. That’s the only reason they would be compelled to cooperate with Duge.”

“Does that mean that the Immortal Emperor and Queen Mother of the West are also affected by the Twilight Calamity?” Feng Chang said in disbelief.

“Highly likely,” Yin Erchuan said. “Assuming the Twilight Calamity was indeed orchestrated by Brother Du, then the Immortal Emperor, fearing to kill the mouse lest he break the vase, may not dare to kill Duge. He is probably hoping that Duge can resolve the Twilight Calamity, which might be why the Immortal Emperor is hesitant to act.”

“He hates Duge but doesn’t dare to kill him. The Immortal Emperor is truly the most conflicted one!” Gao Ming laughed. “Indeed, this is Brother Du’s way of operating, making everyone dance to his tune.”

“The Daoist Ancestor might be an exception,” Zhang Desheng said.

“Not necessarily,” Gao Ming said. “The Daoist Ancestor knows us well, yet he has never acted against Duge. Don’t you find that strange? Perhaps the Daoist Ancestor has been affected without realizing it…”

“What’s Brother Du’s keyword?” asked Xie Tao, the female Alien Warrior who possessed the keyword of joy. “Twilight Calamity, Human Emperor Inheritance, what kind of keyword could support such a big scenario?”

As the words fell,

everyone’s eyes fell on her face, as if looking at an idiot.

Yin Erchuan laughed and said, “If you don’t enter the Alien Battlefield, you’ll never know what Brother Du’s keyword is! Forget about the keyword. Let’s think about what Brother Du’s ultimate goal is, offer strategies to the Immortal Emperor, and strive to gain the Immortal Emperor’s favor! We need to leverage the Immortal Emperor’s power to boost our fame…”

“Duge has turned false history into reality through the Human Daily. Do you think he could achieve his goals this way?” Gao Ming said, “Uniting the Three Realms and eventually, through discourse power, influencing Pan-Universe Entertainment…”

“Three Men Make a Tiger. This skill appeared once before in the Alien Battlefield,” Yin Erchuan’s eyes lit up as he spoke. “Duge’s skill might be related to the number of people he controls, so to counter Brother Du, we must start with public opinion and reduce the public’s trust in him.”

“Damn, are you guys really planning to tough it out with Brother Du?” Feng Chang said. “What if we really mess up his plans…”

“Old Feng, not toughing it out with him would actually mess up his plans,” Gao Ming said. “Duge needs time, and besides, you don’t really think that just the twelve of us could defeat Brother Du, do you? There are still over five hundred Alien Warriors left on the battlefield; the advantage is clearly on Duge’s side.”

“Brothers, let’s give it our all! Otherwise, the Immortal Court will end up riddled by Duge,” Yin Erchuan said inspiringly. “Let’s go, we don’t have much time left. To the Heavenly Court!”
