Chapter 869 The Unification of World
Over two years had passed since the Union Continent emerged in the Golden Sky World and joined the ranks of the ten continents, making them eleven.
Not only were the top ten races alarmed by this sudden appearance of an entirely new continent, but the biggest surprise came a few days ago when the top four races announced something completely unexpected.
The Devils, Demons, Hunters, and Humans announced the unification of their races with the Sun and Moon Sword Union, making it the strongest power ever seen since ancient times. Now, everyone was calling the Union Continent the Central Continent.
This news completely shocked the remaining six races, and this was the end of it at all. Soon after, envoys of the Union started to pay visits to the remaining six continents. Thereby, one after another, those continents also announced their willingness to join the Union as well.
Within a month, the entire ten continents were now unified under the Union. A new power system of the Union was introduced to the public, and now everyone was Union Members.
Those with authority and power were given high-ranking union ranks, and the power structure of the Union grew drastically and shuffled.
However, what happened next no one saw it coming. The Union issued the highest wanted order on the elusive thief, Sky Stealer, and anyone related to him. Furthermore, anyone who promotes thievery was given a direct death sentence.
As a result, a worldwide manhunt began because the rewards were too alluring for everyone to ignore.
However, despite the entire world’s efforts, there were no traces of the elusive thief anywhere. His symbol hadn’t appeared anywhere in ages. It was like he had vanished from the world.
Nonetheless, it didn’t mean the others who followed his footsteps were saved. Many individuals who idolized the Sky Stealer were either killed or captured and became the target of torture.
But six individuals shone brighter than anyone else and became famous. People even started to call them the Rising Thieves. They were as cunning as the infamous Sky Stealer, and all of them never left behind any traces after the theft except for their thief names and symbols.
Furthermore, despite the Union’s tireless pursuit, they always managed to avoid them, making the Union’s reputation muddy. There were even rankings of those six by how many thieveries they had committed and the difficulty level.
The first one was the thief active in the All-Devil Continent, and no one knows if it was actually a thief or assassin as its biggest achievement to this day was assassinating the Clan Head of the Vile Devil Clan before robbing the entire clan’s treasury clean, the Skyfall Thief Assassin.
The second was the thief of the Almighty Demon Continent, and also the place where the Sky Stealer has been active the longest, and its biggest achievement was the thieveries of every demon king’s domain, the All-Knowing Evil!
The third person was from the Azure Wind Continent, the Nightmarish Thief, and its biggest achievement was the thievery of the Dark Nightmare Sect, for it left nothing behind, stealing every single Qi stone!
The fourth one was actually active in the central continent, the Sword Thief!
The fifth one was from the beast content, the Sneaky Rat!
The sixth was the thief active in the Blood Continent, the All-Seeing Evil!
These six were at the top of the wanted list after the Sky Stealer, as they were considered to have ties with him. But it was still not clear, especially if they weren’t caught.
But they were too cunning to get caught, and this has made the Union put more effort into them than the Sky Stealer.
At this moment, the central content, the place, has undergone a drastic change. In the open fields where once the sun and moon mountains were located, now there were rings of buildings, and in the center of these places was a magnificent golden palace.
This palace was named the Union Lord Palace because the Lord of the Union lived there, and only those in very high positions in the Union could enter this place. But the audience with the Union Lord was still impossible, and only a handful of people had seen him.
The Union’s day-to-day matters were normally handled by the Vice Lords, and they were also not to be trifled with.
In the spacious hall, the Union Leader, or now the Union Lord, sat around a round table. There were fourteen other individuals sitting around him.
The Devil Ancestor Edward’s expression was livid as he was saying something in full of killing intent, “We have become jokes because of those thievish bastards! We want to capture that hateful thief, yet we can’t even capture his copycats? Utterly ridiculous!”
The Demon Ancestor Albert’s expression was pitch black as he supported Edward, “If this continues, our new order won’t last long!”
“Hehe, now, who could’ve expected that of all the threats in the world, we are facing the threat of emerging thieves? I don’t know if I was trapped for so long that this world has regressed or the thieves nowadays are just too strong.” One of the ten souls, the devil, who now has a body, sneered. His name is Bryant.
“Hmph, how about Senior Bryant give it a shot yourself?” The Blood Ancestor Margret scoffed playfully.
Bryant smiled coldly, showing his beastly fangs, and said mockingly, “Little junior, I want to, but our one and only lord won’t let me.”
The Union Lord finally spoke with a grave expression, “I know you all are indignant with my lack of response. But we can’t act so abruptly until it’s still not clear who among them is connected with that conniving thief.
“It’s just the start of the world unification. We should focus on strengthening our foundation first before taking action. If we control the world, we can easily capture those thieves whenever we wish.
“Right now, let them have their fun, and once they’re drunk on power and success, we’ll just have to awake them violently and get everything back they took. Don’t forget our target is still the Sky Stealer, and without him, our plans and efforts are meaningless.”
Everyone becomes silent as they agree with the Union Lord. Their goal was the Sky Stealer, not those copycats, and without him, they couldn’t achieve their goal.
The Union Lord suddenly smiled with terrifying killing intent, “Don’t worry. I have this hunch that he’ll appear soon, and when he does, we’ll use everything in our power to crush him!”
