Chapter 619 - 489: Cunning Stratagem: Connecting a New World Passage

"Go big?" Gao Xiaomeng and Xu Zilan looked at Gao Neng, a hint of surprise on their faces. They asked almost in unison, "How big?"

"Big enough to take the entire Northern District Battlefield in one fell swoop, of course!" Gao Neng’s eyes narrowed.

"..."

The entire group fell silent.

It wasn’t just Gao Xiaomeng and Xu Zilan; even Fang Tangtang, who was daring to the point of lawlessness, was too stunned to speak.

How large was the Northern District Battlefield?

The entire north!

There were twenty-five races in total.

Although the Blood Race and High Mountain Race were now effectively under their control, that still left twenty-three other races.

Setting aside the others, the Wolf Race and Snow Demon Race alone would be difficult to deal with.

As two of the three major races, their numbers of Strongest, military strength, and territory were all comparable to the Blood Race.

Most importantly, even with the internal strife in the Alien Race Alliance Army, their public stance was still a united front against the humans. Who would dare to openly attack another race at a time like this?

"Impossible!" Xu Zilan said seriously after a long silence.

"Two minutes ago, I would have thought it was impossible too. But after hearing that Mu Feifei escaped, I suddenly feel like it might not be completely out of the question," Gao Neng said, looking up at the night sky.

"Mu Feifei escaping and unifying the Northern District... What do you mean?" Gao Xiaomeng asked, confused.

"Didn’t Mom just say that if Mu Feifei gets away, the other races might find out we control the Blood Race? Right?" Gao Neng asked unhurriedly.

"Yes, I did say that. What’s the problem?" Xu Zilan nodded.

"Our first thought after taking control of the Blood Race was to lay low, right?" Gao Neng continued.

"Right!" Gao Xiaomeng blinked.

"Why lay low?"

"Is that even a question? If we don’t lay low and the other races find out, won’t they just join forces to deal with us?" Gao Xiaomeng said, stating the obvious.

"Yes. Once the other races learn we control the Blood Race, they will definitely move against us. So, wouldn’t the same apply to the other races?" Gao Neng continued.

"Of course it would be the same... but we haven’t taken control of any other races, have we?" Gao Xiaomeng said, confused.

"Not yet, but that doesn’t mean we won’t. Besides, you can create an unlimited number of ’Root’ keys. And I don’t think we can keep the fact that we control the Blood Race a secret for very long. A month at most, and the alien races will know. Since we can’t hide it for long, why not strike first while the other races are still in the dark?" Gao Neng said, shaking his head gently.

"Strike first?!" Xu Zilan and Gao Xiaomeng glanced at each other again. "What’s your plan?"

"First, we kill all the Strongest of the other races!!!" Gao Neng declared firmly.

SPLASH!

Fang Tangtang’s foot slipped, and she fell into the pool.

Meanwhile, Xu Zilan and Gao Xiaomeng stared at Gao Neng as if he were a monster. After all, his words were, frankly, a bit... naive!

The Strongest?

The death of even one of them was a monumental event.

And Gao Neng was talking about killing *all* the Strongest from the other races!

’Is he insane?’

’They aren’t that easy to kill!’

"Besides, we have a godsent opportunity right now!" Gao Neng glanced at Fang Tangtang, who had fallen into the pool, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"A godsent opportunity?" Although Xu Zilan was shocked by Gao Neng’s words, she quickly composed herself after hearing that phrase. Then, as if she’d realized something, she asked, "Little Neng, you mean... the Strongest in Ice City?"

"Mm, exactly." Gao Neng nodded.

"What do you plan to do?" Xu Zilan’s eyes narrowed, then instantly lit up again.

"If I’m not mistaken, all of the Strongest on the Northern District Battlefield who are able to act have already made their move. The remaining ones are probably guarding their respective sources of evolution," Gao Neng said seriously.

"That’s right. There are a total of seventeen living Strongest on the Northern District Battlefield right now. Three belong to the Blood Race, two each to the Werewolf Race and Snow Demon Race, and the other races account for the remaining ten. Just as you said, the ones who are available to act are basically all in Ice City."

"In that case, why don’t we take this opportunity to kill all the Strongest in Ice City?" Gao Neng’s gaze turned cold.

"Kill them all?!" Even though Xu Zilan had been considering it, she was still taken aback. "Little Neng, this is no joke! You killed a single Blood Race Strongest, and it drew out all the Strongest of the Northern District. If you kill a few more, I’m afraid the Strongest from the Eastern, Southern, and Western Districts will all come rushing over!"

"Mm, that’s a given," Gao Neng nodded.

"So, you want to... start an all-out war?!"

"Of course not." Gao Neng wasn’t an idiot.

’An all-out war!’

The Human Alliance didn’t have the strength for that right now.

And neither did he.

This was a decision that would affect the fate of all humanity. He couldn’t be reckless just for some quest from that ridiculous System. Everything had to be done with a guaranteed escape route.

"Then what are you trying to do?" Xu Zilan asked in surprise.

"What I want to do is simple. I’m going to use the few Strongest in Ice City as bait to fish out the entire alien host!" By the time Gao Neng finished speaking, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Use the Strongest in Ice City as bait to fish out the entire alien host?!" Xu Zilan, Gao Xiaomeng, and Fang Tangtang were all utterly shocked when they heard this.

It was a simple sentence.
