Chapter 1699 1698: Genes

"You make a valid point, but our actions have already harmed the interests of the higher-level Divine Race. What if other higher-level members, like me, are equally reckless in dealing with me?"

"You just like to overthink, don't worry. During my time living here, I've gained quite a bit of knowledge about the Divine Race. The Divine Race has more inherent flaws than humans. There's simply no trust between them. Especially at such a high position like the upper levels. Each of them is reluctant to give up their own turf. Take Elder Jiang, for example, he uses any means necessary to achieve his goals. I helped him, and he still tries to suppress my Divine Sense. And the other upper-level members all have their own calculations."

Upon hearing this.

Ye Wenjun just sighed.

Ye Wenjun really hadn't expected the so-called higher-ups to be like this. Their lives, their inherent flaws, are far scarier than humans.

When Ye Wenjun first arrived at the Divine Race's territory. He encountered Ding Haotian.

From the conflict between Ding Haotian and Steward Jiang, something could be observed.

"Look at that planet. If the Pavilion Master acted in person, would Earth also be crushed instantly like that?"

"He's doing it intentionally, showcasing his strength to the entire Divine Race. That guy is the most vile. While 25 members of the Divine Race are striving with all their might, albeit not fully committed, together they pose a terrifying threat. The energy expenditure is far greater than that of the Pavilion Master alone. But due to Elder Jiang's slight injury, the Pavilion Master hasn't taken action again. Evidently, he prefers playing tricks behind the scenes."

"This person is indeed frightening." Ye Wenjun felt a special aura flowing through the Pavilion Master when he saw him, a sinister and dark aura.

Although he is the strongest of the Divine Race. Why did he choose such a path? The more he behaves this way, the more upper-level members merely superficially respect him; deep down, they couldn't truly obey.

In time, such fractures will worsen.

"If the Divine Race continues like this, issues will inevitably arise. Hasn't he, as the strongest, considered this problem?"

"He definitely has. After our engagement, I realized this person is not ordinary, the issues we could think of, he must have thought of as well. After all, having lived for so many years, he's long become numb to feelings, friendships, and racial emotions. Therefore, I speculate, he must have found a different way to stand once again at the pinnacle! And to always maintain this peak."

"What kind of method?"

"Remember the saying? When you surpass others slightly, they only envy you. But when you significantly outpace them, they'll be in awe of you. The Pavilion Master, can only achieve the latter by breaking through!"

Breakthrough?

Upon hearing these two words, Ye Wenjun felt somewhat incredulous.

This time he was able to ascend to a nearly Great God Lord Realm. Purely benefited from the possession by the Fire Phoenix. Without the Fire Phoenix. Ye Wenjun's strength would find it challenging to contend with these 25 higher-level members.

With the Fire Phoenix, he can undergo infinite Nirvana Rebirth. During this rebirth period, security must be ensured. No one could defeat Ye Wenjun.

Therefore, he knows clearly that breaking through is exceedingly difficult.

So far.

Ye Wenjun doesn't have a clear path to directly break through to the Great God Lord Realm.

"How difficult breakthrough is, it's not as easy as you say?"

"There is difficulty, true. But don't forget, the Pavilion Master has lived for a very long time. In this existence, he has sought many ways. Certainly far more than the methods Elder Jiang attempted. Throughout such a long time, no one can guarantee he hasn't found a way. Perhaps this method has yet to be properly realized, so he's been waiting all along." Fang Yu analyzed.

"What kind of method? In the end, he's just one person, can't outmatch the 25 higher-level members. I believe all methods, the 25 higher-ups have tried."

"There's certainly one method he hasn't tried."

"What?"

"That's the Divine Race's genes."

"Genes?"

Then Fang Yu spoke to Ye Wenjun about the matter when he was in the high-level territory.

Upon hearing that the Pavilion Master considered him, Ye Wenjun couldn't help but furrow his brows in anger.

"Had you told me about this earlier, during the time in the universe, I wouldn't have agreed to negotiate with him. I would have directly attacked him, fighting till the end."

"Luckily you didn't initiate the attack. That person is extremely insidious and cunning. His physical body must be better protected than others. I speculate there's some advanced technological civilization protector on him. Otherwise, how could he so easily enter my Divine Sense Domain?"

Ye Wenjun nodded.

"If it's genes, how does he plan to improve them? Now that he's already failed, on the main planet it's just the two of us humans!"

"That's the significant point you've grasped. The Pavilion Master's fundamental reason for not acting. It's because you and I are Earth humans. He really wants to improve genes. But can't let other upper-level members know. So he uses a method of deception. However, I'm also playing along with him, cooperating in the performance."

"Since you've figured everything out, why not expose him?"

"If that were the case, it would truly be meaningless. The Divine Race wants to improve genes. Then we'll have to be preserved. So, in the coming time, you and I will become more dangerous yet, in a way, become lighter."

"What a bother, didn't expect the Divine Race to be so despicable." Ye Wenjun expressed annoyance.

"Don't mind him, we do what we need to do, as I've said, playing along. I fear the Pavilion Master hasn't yet realized your physical attribute far surpasses human genes. Once he truly attempts this idea, it will certainly end in failure, not to mention you, the Fire Phoenix inside you won't agree either!"

Mentioning the Fire Phoenix.

Ye Wenjun felt better.

This is his trump card.

Though they've already been noticed by the 25 higher-ups. But they remain powerless.

"Open the Ninth Layer Tower. I'd like to enter for cultivation."

"For cultivation?"

"You've reached the Great God Lord Realm; after this battle, I feel I've advanced another step closer to the Great God Lord."

"If you didn't mention it, I would've almost forgotten. Hua Jian, the lady has returned to the Ninth Layer Tower the last time. So, if that's the case, I'll let you enter."

With one more person, it doesn't matter much.

After all, the internal space of the Ninth Layer Tower is vast.

Under the summon of his mind.

The Ninth Layer Tower appeared and instantly absorbed Ye Wenjun inside.

Then continued to admire the night sky.

It was then.

A voice resonated in Fang Yu's mind: "Divine Dragon, Divine Dragon..."
