“It’s not important whether you’re the master of the power or the slave of the power. What’s important is that an unparalleled power is roaring in our chests and gathering in our hands. It doesn’t matter if we want to use this power to destroy the world or change the world!”
‘The Wolf King turned a deaf ear to Meng Chao’s advice. He was wrapped in red crystals, and he looked like the head of a demon wolf with his mouth wide open. He was twitching nervously and completely immersed in his own thoughts.
Occasionally, he would tilt his head and ears, as though he could hear something that Meng Chao could not.
“Listen, I don’t know what you’re thinking about, but we don’t have time!”
‘The Wolf King said, “We’ve wasted too much time in the trial. The Lion King and Tiger King’s teams could appear behind us at any time.
“although we don’t have to fear the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade right now, don’t forget that they still have so many subordinates. They are all experts on the same level and above, and they even have strength close to the battle group level.
“Therefore, we don’t have time to waste here. We must seize every second to search for the ultimate legacy left by the ancestral spirit.
“As for what you said about calming down and considering the question of ‘master or slave’ seriously… Hehe. After we get the ultimate legacy left by the ancestral spirit and step on the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade’s heads, we can discuss it slowly!”
“What?”
Meng Chao was surprised. “You’re still not satisfied? You want to keep going?”
“Of course!” The Wolf King answered matter-of-factly.
“The ancestral spirit’s ultimate legacy is an unparalleled power. Isn’t that the reason why we’ve risked everything to come here?”
“However, we’ve just broken through the barrier of life and experienced a drastic change. We have power so great that we can’t even perfectly digest and control it!”
Meng Chao said, “Is such power not enough?”
“If we only want to be kings of Picturesque Orchid Lake, such power might be enough.”
The Wolf King gnashed his teeth and resolutely said, “However, if we set our goal to conquer the Land of Holy Light, destroy the Holy Light Temple, or even soar into the clouds, pierce through the sky, and turn the ocean of light that covers the entire world upside down, it would certainly not be enough.
It would be far from enough!
“Believe me, in order to win the upcoming Battle of Glory, we still need to be a hundred times stronger than we are right now.
“Right now, although our totem armors are powerful, there is no gap between us and the Hom of Destruction and Violent Blade. We have not surpassed the limits of the legendary heroes recorded in the war epic either. We are still repeating the path our ancestors have walked.
“According to the oldest war epics, a long, long time ago, countless totem armors could be condensed together. They could turn into gigantic creatures that were hundreds of arms or even thousands of arms tall, transforming into fortresses that were covered with weapons. They could move or even fly.
Such war machines that could destroy, suppress, and devour everything was the ultimate force that could change the future!
Hiss…
“Tcan already hear the deafening roar of this war machine made of thousands of totem armors.
“Tcan already see myself riding this war machine and even the war fortress, sweeping through thousands of soldiers with ease.
“Such ultimate force is hidden in the deepest part of the Holy Mountain temple. Now, we have the qualification and ability to face the ancestral spirit’s ultimate spirit. We are only one step away from the supreme glory and glorious victory. Don’t you hear the ancestral spirit’s summoning and see its
guidance?”
‘The Wolf King sounded more and more fanatical.
He also became increasingly erratic.
He stared straight at the maze-like pipes, as well as the unfathomable darkness between the intricate and sophisticated machinery.
It was as if there was a secret passage hidden in the depths of the darkness that led directly to the ancestral spirit’s temple.
Meng Chao’s hair stood on end.
Now, he was absolutely sure that the Wolf King had been disturbed, eroded, and infected by some mysterious force during his evolution earlier.
In the circle of ancient ruin explorers in Dragon City, a similar situation was called the Ancient Ruins’ Summon.
Basically, the one hundred explorers who had heard the Ancient Ruins’ Summon plunged into the dark void in the depths of the ancient ruins without looking back. All ninety-nine of them would not have a good ending.
“Wake up, Wolf King!”
Meng Chao could not help but shout sternly. “Think carefully. Did you really hear the ancestral spirit’s summoning, or did some mysterious monster bewitch us?
“No. Looking back, we experienced too many coincidences after we entered the Holy Mountain temple. I highly suspect that we’ve been targeted by some mysterious force since the very beginning!”
The Wolf King’s head continued to tremble slightly.
He mumbled indistinctly.
It was as if he was mumbling to himself.
It was more like… another voice was talking to him through his mouth.
Meng Chao was burning with anxiety, but he did not dare to provoke the Wolf King. He could only use his brain, which had improved his memory and calculation speed by at least several times after he broke through to the Deity Realm. He tried to review everything they had encountered since they
entered the Holy Mountain temple.
“Tt wasn’t an accident.”
Meng Chao calmly said, “At first glance, when we were chasing after the human-faced spider, we stepped on the tube’s outer wall and slipped into the tube. We slid all the way to the depths of the Holy Mountain temple and fell from the warehouse that was full of the bones of ferocious beasts. Then, we
accidentally came to the Fossil Museum and the high platform where the statues of heroes were displayed. In the fierce battle with the hero statues, we even smashed through seven decks and fell into top-tier secret medicines. We received a new transformation, unparalleled strength, and brand-new
armor…
“All of this is as thrilling and bizarre as a war epic.
“Even so, reality is not a heroic story. If too many coincidences come together, it’s no longer a coincidence.
“We are neither the lucky ones who are one in ten thousand, nor are we here solely because of our perseverance.
“Someone… Some inhuman power… is manipulating us from behind the scenes, treating us like chess pieces, and pushing us here step by step.
“Right now, this mysterious power still wants to manipulate us, pulling our strings like puppets. The tighter we’re tied, the deeper we sink!
“Idon’t like this feeling.
“Tt doesn’t matter whether this mysterious power is good or evil, I don’t like the feeling of being led by its nose.
“Even if this power really brings the ‘glory and victory’ that you mentioned, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to pay the corresponding price.
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Any power is conserved. You have to pay as much as you get. That’s the simplest principle.
“Furthermore…
“Furthermore, obeying the call of this power and becoming its puppet might not necessarily lead to glory and victory.”
On the contrary, it might lead to failure and destruction.
It was just like the Doomsday Wolf in his previous life.
Meng Chao’s words caused the Wolf King’s head to tremble even more violently.
It was as if there were two sets of incompatible logical thinking. They were like two high-speed steel wheels that collided and rubbed against each other, creating a series of dazzling sparks.
On the surface of his Six-kill Armor, hundreds of bloodshot wolf eyes protruded out. They glared at Meng Chao fiercely as if they were angry that Meng Chao had ruined their plans.
Even Meng Chao’s own totem armor had healed its wounds and forgotten about the pain. It was ready to move again.
“What’s your suggestion then? Quit while you’re ahead and leave this place?”
‘The Wolf King and the hundreds of eyes that grew out of the surface of his armor scrutinized Meng Chao for a long time. It looked like they were evaluating if it was possible to launch a surprise attack and swallow Meng Chao along with his totem armor.
After realizing that Meng Chao was highly vigilant and unassailable, the Wolf King temporarily gave up on the plan to use force.
He spoke with a disingenuous smile. “Don’t forget that the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade will arrive here at any time. Perhaps, while we were talking, they already led a large group of people and followed our footsteps into the Holy Mountain temple.
“And the statues of heroes standing on the high platform are far more than just Fist, Stomach-less King, and Broken Wings.
“The Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade are battle-level experts to begin with. Obviously they’ll be able to pass the trials that we passed.
“Hence, even if we refuse to obey the ancestral spirit’s summons and flee before the enormous ultimate inheritance, it will be useless.
“If we run away, the ancestral spirit will naturally designate the Hom of Destruction and Violent Blade as the inheritors of the ultimate legacy.
“Once they obtain the Holy Mountain’s inheritance and leave, the first thing they’ll do is find us and kill us. When that time comes, we’ll be nothing but weak and useless wretches who have neither become the masters of our power nor the slaves of our power. What can we do except kneel and beg for
mercy?
“Even if the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade are willing to let us go and are too lazy to argue with us, the two cowardly wretches, are you willing to leave the future to these two brainless brutes?”
Meng Chao was speechless.
He suddenly felt that the matter of changing the future was more complicated than he had imagined.
Fate was like a seesaw. When one side was pressed down, the other side would rise up again.
In his previous life, Kanus, the Jackal, had ambushed the Lion King and Tiger King on the Scarlet Peak long before he entered the Holy Mountain temple. He had skillfully guided the lion and tiger duo, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, the only team that entered the Holy Mountain’s temple was the Wolf Clan’s exploration team.
In this life, due to the addition of Meng Chao, the Lion King, the Tiger King, and the Wolf King had the chance to enter the Holy Mountain temple and hear the call of the ancestral spirit or the Demon King of Terror.
While Meng Chao might stop “Jackal” Kanus from turning into the Doomsday Wolf, how would he stop the Horn of Destruction from turning into a Doomsday Lion, and how could he stop Violent Blade from turning into a Doomsday Tiger?
