CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 297: THE KING’S DECISION

The War God-level Space-Time Whale, Wang Xu had only heard of before, but had never truly seen. When he felt the speed at which this Space-Time Whale traversed the void, he couldn’t help but marvel.

Fast!

Very fast!

Extremely fast!

The difference between War God level and War Venerable level is just one level, but the true strength is worlds apart, whether reflected in a warrior or in a Space-Time Whale, it is all the same.

Wang Xu did not choose to escape halfway. His identity could change at any time, but Ai’ai could not. Those many Wu Meng Warriors who chased him that day mostly knew by then that Ai’ai was the true Heart of Wu Meng. So, for Ai’ai’s sake, and his own safety, he could only choose to compromise and head to the alien imperial palace.

Eight years passed just like that.

Jin Feng Celestial God was a man of few words. Wang Xu wanted to learn more about the alien imperial palace from him, but all he got in return was his smiling reply: "No comment."

A loyal gourd of few words, no matter how Wang Xu pressed, he could not extract any useful information.

"We’ve arrived." In the silent void, Jin Feng Celestial God suddenly spoke. Wang Xu woke up from his cultivation state and gazed into the distance. A magnificent palace stood in the void, surrounded by invisible law waves dispersing outward, as a means of the palace’s protection.

Jin Feng Celestial God pressed his palm, and the Space-Time Whale halted outside the law waves.

They saw Jin Feng Celestial God raise his hand, marked with golden runes. The golden runes expanded and projected into the void.

Whoosh~

The law waves suddenly separated, distinctly divided, revealing a path leading to the palace gates.

"Let’s go." Jin Feng Celestial God led the way, Wang Xu closely following behind, his gaze fixed on the majestic palace. He vaguely felt a pair of eyes, watching him from the moment he approached the palace, spanning hundreds of light-years, as if substantial, making Wang Xu feel uneasy.

The guards were two War Venerable level individuals, each with a solemn expression, standing tall, their eyes sharp as an eagle’s glare.

Entering the palace, Wang Xu looked at the luxurious and grand surroundings without any sense of admiration. No matter the comparison, it could not match the palace of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. The palace of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion was the most impressive Wang Xu had ever seen.

"Jin Feng, pay respects to His Majesty!" Arriving at the hall’s entrance, Jin Feng Celestial God knelt on one knee, bowed his head respectfully, and his voice carried into the hall.

"Enter." A powerful voice came, causing Wang Xu’s eyes to narrow. Although the hall was open, it was a blur, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Jin Feng Celestial God led Wang Xu towards the hall. The closer they got, the more Wang Xu felt an invisible life suppression spread over him, like the time beneath the Suspended Ladder at the Wu Meng Divine Hall. This life suppression was even more formidable.

However, with Wang Xu’s current life level in the Celestial God Realm, this life suppression posed no threat to him. Following closely behind Jin Feng Celestial God, he stepped into the hall.

Wow!

It was as if stepping into another world, the surroundings were bright.

"Si Sa?" A powerful voice accompanied by a suffocating gaze fell upon Wang Xu, simultaneously drawing the focus of hundreds of alien super-strong individuals, causing a crushing pressure to weigh down on Wang Xu’s back like a mountain.

"Greetings, King." Wang Xu maintained a calm demeanor, nodding slightly, and his aura spread out, instantly dispelling all the pressure surging towards him.

This was the alien king.

Wang Xu looked up, seeing the towering figure above the hall, reaching several hundred kilometers in height. In front of him, Wang Xu was like an insignificant grain of sand, feeling the vast presence. Wang Xu felt as if standing before a star, appearing even more insignificant.

It was impossible to see the features clearly; the higher he looked, the more blurred the towering figure became.

"It is said that you swept the Exotic Beast Battlefield invincible, even suppressing ten Exotic Beasts completely, is that true?" The broad Golden Dragon Emperor’s Boots tapped the ground, emitting a crisp sound, the powerful voice spreading throughout the hall, with a tone carrying a hint of teasing interest.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the hundreds of super-strong individuals changed slightly, shifting from initial arrogance and condescension to recognition and sideways glances.

The Exotic Beast Battlefield lies at the junction of the desolate land and the barren land, with the appearance of Exotic Beasts causing considerable headache for many strong individuals.

Numerous wars had erupted between Exotic Beasts and aliens, with War God-level individuals all involved. The alien stronghold helped suppress the Exotic Beasts back into the barren land.

To completely eliminate the threat of Exotic Beasts, War God-level individuals even ventured into the barren land, attempting to destroy the Exotic Beasts’ nests.

However, of the hundreds of War God-level individuals who entered, none ever returned, and the action created a massive Exotic Beast catastrophe, which directly destroyed the alien war camp and led to the slaughter of dozens of star domains by Exotic Beasts.

Later, the alien king personally intervened to halt the Exotic Beast invasion, venturing deep into the barren land. Upon returning, he announced a series of decrees, no longer blocking Exotic Beast entry into the desolate land but instead establishing war camps, allowing only those below War God level to fight.

This is precisely why there are no War God-level individuals in the Exotic Beast Battlefield.

However, due to the innate strength of the exotic beasts, the Exotic Beast Battlefield has become a nightmare for alien race warriors. If not forced, no one would willingly go to the Exotic Beast Battlefield.

The strength of the exotic beasts is well-known. In one-on-one combat, alien race warriors would never be a match for the exotic beasts. They must set traps, arrange meticulously, and gather dozens of alien race warriors to simultaneously attack to barely kill one exotic beast.

Yet, the little fellow in front of him, whose realm was clearly only at the War King Level, going to the Exotic Beast Battlefield was essentially a death sentence. How could he suppress ten exotic beasts at once?

If the superpowerful are not surprised, they would be lying. Many superpowerful here also struggled to emerge from the Exotic Beast Battlefield, understanding how brutal it is, and how difficult it is to kill exotic beasts. Being so familiar, they found Wang Xu’s achievement even more incredible.

Wang Xu didn’t speak, just nodded slightly, acknowledging this fact.

"A Celestial God Realm mage at the War King Level, able to suppress ten exotic beasts at once because you are from Wu Meng?" A powerful voice bluntly exposed Wang Xu’s identity. Instantly, the hall became agitated, and the gazes towards Wang Xu turned as sharp as knives, as the alien races naturally harbored animosity towards Wu Meng warriors.

"Wu Meng is the land of my hatred; my strength has nothing to do with Wu Meng." As Wang Xu spoke, the gazes of the alien race powerhouses grew somewhat restrained.

A Wu Meng defector is not a rare thing among the alien race, especially known in the alien race imperial palace. Under the command of these alien race powerhouses, there are quite a few Wu Meng defectors.

Although Wang Xu’s words catered to the alien race, they were also undeniably truthful.

He is now wanted by all Wu Meng warriors. Whether there is enmity or not, if a Wu Meng warrior encounters him, they will inevitably fight for the Heart of Wu Meng.

Therefore, Wang Xu’s words contained no falsehoods. In the eyes of the majestic figure, they were flawless.

"You have great talent; you are a true genius. I don’t know what you’ve been through. Wu Meng does not welcome you, but my Divine Race would be very happy to have you join us, to become one of us." The majestic figure said.

Wang Xu remained calm. The silver-armored alien had already told him this, and he had pondered over it. This is the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos; whether he stayed in the Four Great Domains of Wu Meng or in the Desolate Land, it meant the same to him.

However, if given a choice, Wang Xu would prefer to stay in the Four Great Domains of Wu Meng. After all, the law insights are abundant there, and the cosmic energy is rich, allowing his power to grow more rapidly.

"King of the Divine Race, if I refuse, would you agree?" Wang Xu said indifferently.

"How dare you defy the king’s word! So bold!"

"You little Wu Meng brat, do you want to die?"

"Hmph! The king bestows upon you the identity of the Divine Race. It is your supreme glory. You should be grateful!"

Wang Xu’s words incited the indignation of many Divine Race powerhouses.

The broad Golden Dragon Emperor’s Boots tapped the ground, and an invisible aura of majesty spread out, immediately silencing the hall.

"As you said, I would not agree. The Divine Race does not need a genius with foreign intentions, especially a mage like you with infinite potential, who would ultimately bring disaster to the Divine Race." The powerful voice came, "However, to make you willingly become a member of our Divine Race, I have decided on something that is great for you."

Wang Xu frowned, wondering what game the alien king was playing. Was he not just forcing him to swear a law oath, then serve the alien race? What else could it be?

Swearing a law oath, never to betray for life, may be a life-tying decision for others.

But for Wang Xu, who possesses the holy image, it was merely about the survival of the holy image.

The alien race powerhouses’ curiosity surged, for in their hearts, the great king had never made a wrong decision, and what he decided was always right.

"This matter is simple, but before that, I need you to swear a law oath and become a member of our Divine Race." The alien king said, "If you are willing, you will receive my bestowal. If you are not willing, you will be thrown into the most horrific melting process and turned to ashes."

"Make your choice."

Wang Xu couldn’t figure out what the alien king was up to, and with such a choice between life and death, was there even a choice?

"I am willing." Wang Xu’s voice echoed.

"Good." The majestic figure seemed slightly delighted in tone.

Subsequently, under the gaze of many superpowerful individuals, Wang Xu swore a law oath of loyalty to the Divine Race. The oath was not strongly binding, more lenient than many other Wu Meng defectors.

Once the law oath was made, Wang Xu immediately felt the cosmic law descend, invisibly placing a law shackle on him.

"Your future holds infinite possibilities. Perhaps your achievements in the future will surpass mine. Therefore, I have decided..." Everyone perked up their ears, listening intently.

"I have decided to marry the princess to you!"

With these words, even the superpowerful couldn’t help but be dumbfounded and speechless.

Wang Xu, too, was stunned, unable to react for a long time. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommended tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
