"Yes! If we don't seek reinforcements from the East, what can the Western Alliance do? This newly emerged monster, demanding over a hundred kilometers of land around the passage with a single utterance, clearly intends to guard the passage until its main forces arrive! What will we do then?" At this moment, the President of the mighty country spoke loudly. They, the mighty country, were in the greatest danger now; he couldn't remain calm.
With just an elven girl, the entire Western Alliance was helpless. If there were a group of them, or even stronger ones, wouldn't that be the end of humanity?
The leaders of Liechtenstein, Ruis, and other countries bordering the mighty country to the north also stepped forward and voiced their opinions successively.
"Fortunately, this newly emerged monster did not continue its attack on us, giving us a chance to breathe. I believe an East-West joint effort is necessary. After all, this is a disaster for all humanity."
"According to intelligence from Great Xia, the fellow called Bai Ye has not troubled Great Xia since his appearance, and even seems to obey the instructions of the Great Xia government. Therefore, I think that fellow is somewhat different from these monsters..."
"I propose that we request help from Great Xia and seek an East-West alliance. Let's vote on this immediately."
Amidst the noisy arguments, the Western Alliance meeting gradually formed two factions.
One side was led by the mighty country, the nation directly facing the threat of the passage.
The other side consisted of core Western Alliance nations such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom, which were relatively safer. Cooperating with the Eastern Alliance would significantly weaken their international status, voice, and interests. Even in the face of the end of the world, they still aimed to preserve their empires' greatest interests.
After fierce debate, the leaders of major empires like the United States and the United Kingdom also slowly relented. The Western Alliance sought to merge with the Eastern Alliance, attempting to establish a global united front.
"There is still one more issue. With such a significant stir in the Abyssal Mountain Range passage, it will likely be very difficult to conceal the monster invasion and the impending great catastrophe facing the world. How should we deal with this?" asked the leader of the United Kingdom, Boss.
Once their opinions were aligned, the United Kingdom, the United States, and others once again became the core of the Western Alliance. Although they were extending an olive branch to the Eastern Alliance, they had also reached an internal consensus: only by uniting together could they continue to protect their greatest interests.
The President of the United States of America also said gravely, "The scope involved is too broad, and that elf cannot be controlled. It's only a matter of time before it's discovered... Therefore, I propose we disclose it proactively. This way, everyone will know, and Great Xia won't be able to hide it, which will be beneficial for the establishment of our alliance."
"And also to leverage our 'Emperor Plan' before it completely fails, giving the people confidence and preventing uncontrollable unrest."
Bai Deng nodded. "Approved!"
With his endorsement, the other Western nations also agreed one after another.
"Approved!"
"Approved!"
...
Deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of Yongzhou, Great Xia. After Bai Ye's departure, Southern Theater Commander Li Hanqing immediately led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to regain control of the passage.
"Commander, that's great. The laser cannons can still be used, but they'll need about half a month to repair."
Upon their return to the base, the officers rushed to the locations of the three laser cannons. Standing beside the abyss's black hole, Li Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief, then his brows gradually furrowed as he gazed into the bottomless passage.
"All combat units, fortify your positions..."
"Yes!"
...
In Modu City, within the Wojao Mountain Range, at the volcanic crater's green lake. Lydia had plucked many fresh herbs and was chewing them listlessly. Meanwhile, Da Peng paced restlessly beside Lydia.
Suddenly, Bai Ye's figure appeared, startling Da Peng.
"Ah! You... Master, you're back so soon?" Da Peng's expression instantly shifted to a smile.
"Brother!!" Lydia immediately jumped up from the ground. Looking at Bai Ye, she saw he was carrying a large mass of meat, and was immediately captivated. Her rosy little mouth watered, as she sensed that these pieces of meat were no ordinary thing; they were filled with a large amount of magic essence!
"What delicious stuff!! Brother, what kind of meat is this?"
Bai Ye replied, "Dragon meat."
Lydia became even more excited, while Da Peng was stunned. From the residual aura of these meat chunks, he sensed a familiar feeling.
Dragon meat? Could it be... those stubborn three-headed foolish dragons?
However, although they were a bit foolish! Their strength was not weak; quasi-demon kings could contend with demon kings, and they had three lives. To be killed in such a short time?
Da Peng was shocked and terrified, but his smile became even more submissive and brilliant.
"Let's go. We'll cook at home, we have a guest tonight."
"Okay!" Lydia happily took Bai Ye's hand, tilting her head curiously, "A guest? Brother, who is it?"
In the Wojao Mountain Range, at the Lone Star Villa, there were rarely any guests.
"Me!"
Before Bai Ye could respond, a gentle voice drifted from the air. A white figure slowly descended.
Lydia looked up and saw a refined man smiling at them, becoming even more confused. She had never seen him before.
However, Da Peng, standing beside them, was utterly shocked, his eyes widened as if they would fall out.
"Hou... Houying-sama!! Why... why are you here?"
"Oh!" Seeing Da Peng's fearful yet respectful demeanor, Lydia became even more curious about Houying, constantly blinking her big eyes to observe him.
Houying merely chuckled and nodded, not intending to explain. Da Peng was not surprised, as the difference in strength and status between them was too great.
"Actually... I'm quite curious about this too," Bai Ye suddenly spoke.
For a moment, all three looked at Houying.
"Alright," Houying nodded and replied, "It's very simple. I came specifically to take a look."
"Haha... Hahaha, as expected of Houying-sama." Da Peng fawned incessantly, not caring whether what he said made sense or not.
This guy is so strange! Lydia narrowed her eyes as she looked at Houying.
"Let's go home." Bai Ye was not one to linger, pulling Lydia along. Houying was undoubtedly a Catastrophe-level monster, commonly known as a Demon King.
However, the current Tetes world's passage to Blue Star could not bear the passage of a Demon King, let alone the fact that Houying had arrived on Blue Star long ago.
It was impossible for Bai Ye not to be curious.
"Master~ I'll give you a ride!"
Da Peng transformed into his true form, appearing extremely solicitous.
Bai Ye, with Lydia, floated onto Da Peng's back, while Houying followed with a smile.
"Hold on tight!" Da Peng spread his wings and instantly shot out of the volcano, heading towards the Lone Star Villa.
"Woof woof woof? (What the heck is that?)"
"Woof woof!! (So scary! Where's the old boss? Help!)"
At the Lone Star Villa, Gou Dan, Xiao Fantuan, and the others were almost going crazy seeing a bird that blotted out the sun flying towards them.
