Chapter 2 The Second Floor of the Loft

Snow and ice swirled.

Her Majesty the Queen had already risen from her throne, her palm resting on the mental crystal ball… At the moment the explosion erupted, she had wanted to move, but she was pulled by another "summons" and could not escape.

At this moment, more than one divine thought was intertwined in the loft.

The picture in the crystal ball was no longer the Doru River.

Instead, it was an endless, dark [Deep Sea].

The emergency meeting of the Highest Council, neither early nor late, was launched at this moment… This was a privilege only possessed by the seven "God Seats" holding the Seeds of Fire. As the strongest who held the hope of mankind, their spirits had already spread throughout the Five Continents with the diffusion of the [Deep Sea]. To start a spiritual meeting, it only took a moment, a signal.

The predecessors formulated an insurmountable iron law, clearly dividing the boundaries between the God Seats of the Five Continents.

Only in "emergency situations" could the Highest Council use this privilege.

At the moment the emergency meeting was convened—

Several figures appeared out of thin air in the conference room, their bodies shrouded in the divine light of their respective Seeds of Fire. They just raised their heads and stared directly at the Queen through the mental crystal ball.

…

…

The waves of the Deep Sea shattered.

The Queen's divine thought instantly arrived in the conference room of the Highest Council… This conference room was extremely old, the dim lights flickering. Outsiders would probably find it hard to believe that this was where the God Seats held emergency meetings.

There was no way around it. Allen Turing's design for the conference room of humanity's strongest was this simple… and dilapidated.

Moreover, he had left a full thirteen seats!

This was truly ironic.

Because there were only seven God Seats in the Five Continents, no matter how the authority of the Highest Council changed or exchanged, at most only seven people could come here for a meeting.

And at this moment, only three had arrived at the conference room.

One was shrouded in blazing light, even when the God Seats of the Highest Council met each other, their faces were still not visible. In fact, it was not intentional, but the attribute of the Seed of Light itself was like this.

For the God Seats, this blazing light covering the face could not obscure their vision.

The Seeds of Fire were not high or low, noble or lowly.

They could completely see the face beneath the light, so the "divine image" shrouded in blazing light was nothing.

One was wearing a red robe and smiling.

The other was wearing a huge gray robe and holding a silver halberd.

These three God Seats who had previously stared directly at the Queen through the mental crystal ball… were the Light, the Sky, and the Storm of the Southern Continent.

The God Seat of Wine had fallen, and now a suitable candidate for the Seed of Fire had not yet been found.

This emergency meeting was destined to be absent.

And the two from the Eastern Continent… were not in a hurry to take their seats.

Of course, the King of the Underworld would not come. He always ignored the rules and regulations, and was not liked by the God Seats. Since refining the Seed of Fire, he had not attended any emergency meetings organized by the Highest Council.

The Queen sat down expressionlessly. She knew very well what these three were planning.

No matter how the military of the Northern Continent tried to cover up the information about the Doru River Calamity Zone, it was useless.

It was difficult to hide secrets between the members of the Highest Council.

From the moment she laid out the "Restart Mission," the eyes of these God Seats had been fixed on the Doru River… And at the moment when the Traveler impacted the gateway, all the God Seats confirmed the rumored information.

"Tsk, the Eighth God Seat… actually exists."

The Sky God Seat spoke softly, sighing with emotion, "Although we can't see that guy's true face, judging from the movement coming from the Calamity Zone, it's really a bit scary."

Their "gaze" was cast down on the Calamity Zone.

But unfortunately, it was only a downward gaze.

The Queen held the Doru River in her palm. The Northern Continent was her territory. The divine thoughts of the God Seats from other continents could not invade it. No matter how they gazed, they could only sense some of the auras that were surging inside, and could not see the real scene that was happening.

The Sky asked with a smile, "Little Lin, why are you guarding the Calamity Zone so tightly? Why not release a gap so we can watch the fun?"

"Sorry."

The Queen replied, "A large number of transcendent creatures have poured into the [Old World]. To ensure safety, I cannot release a gap. I must be responsible for the people of the Northern Continent."

"I second that."

Hearing this, the Sky nodded in agreement, but he did not back down. Instead, he continued to press with a smile, "It must be very troublesome to deal with the rumored 'Traveler' and to clean up these countless cannon fodders… Why not open the gap and I'll help you?"

As soon as this was said, the Storm God Seat also expressed his attitude, "Open the gap and add me to the list."

He was too lazy to be as circuitous as the Sky.

He went straight to the point.

This "emergency meeting" was actually the oppression of the Queen by the Highest Council.

The appearance of the Eighth God Seat was simply a gift from heaven… For them, the broken history of the [Old World] could be filled in to a great extent. If they could collect the wrong path that the "Traveler" had traveled, then the chances of finding the oasis would increase by three points.

In addition, they also had the opportunity to seize the eighth Seed of Fire!

Yes… seize it.

The collision between two "civilizations" must be barbaric.

Either you kill me, or I kill you. As for the so-called "peace," it will only appear in one situation, and that is when both sides are not strong enough… Neither is strong enough to swallow the other.

Now that the Eighth God Seat had chosen to show himself, the Traveler who was abandoned six hundred years ago had found the [Door] leading to the Five Continents. The meaning of the Sky and the Storm was very clear—

Kill!

Kill the Traveler, and they could obtain a brand new Seed of Fire!

The Queen narrowed her eyes, looking at these two God Seats who had revealed their true intentions.

She did not say a word.

"You must open the gap."

On the other side, the Light, who had been silent all along, spoke, "I am not interested in the 'Traveler,' but the relics left by the King of the Underworld are very important… If you refuse, I will personally arrive at the Doru River."

He already knew about the fall of the Child of Blessing.

This time, the Light City's operation had completely failed, but at least they brought back a message!

The Doru River is the River Styx!

"If you personally arrive at the Doru River, I will take action."

A low voice rang out after the Light God Seat spoke.

In the conference room, a fifth figure appeared.

The newly promoted God Seat of Battle, Bai Shu.

The Light slowly turned his head and looked at the speaker.

He smiled softly and asked, "Little guy, do you think… you can stop me?"

Bai Shu was the ancestor of the Bai family. In terms of seniority, there were not many people in Changye who were older than him.

Looking at the Five Continents, it should be the same.

But unfortunately, the Light had lived longer. Even the previous God Seat of Battle, Gu Changzhi, was only his disciple.

"Perhaps you can try." Bai Shu's expression did not change. He said calmly, "I didn't say that I would stop you in the sky above the Calamity Zone… If you move to the Calamity Zone, then I will go directly to Light City."

At this moment.

The Light's face changed suddenly.

"Sorry, everyone, I am not interested in everything that happened in this Calamity Zone, the Traveler, the River Styx, or the broken history…"

Bai Shu looked around the room and said lightly, "But I am very interested in your inheritances. Light City, the Tower of Origin, the Storm Temple. If you want to take a tour of the Doru River, then I will take a trip to your sacred sites. The Eastern Continent has suffered so much grievance in the past twenty years. It shouldn't be too much for me to take some things as compensation, right?"

As soon as this was said, the faces of the three God Seats changed.

The Queen unreservedly cast a grateful look at Bai Shu.

"Don't you care about the 'Iron Law'?!" The Light said coldly, "If you want to overstep the boundaries, then just do it!"

"The Iron Law… So you still remember this word."

Bai Shu responded expressionlessly, "In the eyes of the current Highest Council, is there really still the 'Iron Law' established by the ancestors? Since you want to overstep the boundaries and interfere in the affairs of the Northern Continent… then what does it matter if I take a walk around?"

"You…"

The Light could not refute.

"Lin Lei—"

He no longer argued with Bai Shu, but changed the subject and pointed it back at the Queen. At this moment, he even directly called out the name of the Queen of the Northern Continent, "My Child of Blessing, encountered misfortune in your territory."

There was a hidden edge in this sentence.

But the Light God Seat paused slightly, and his voice became soft again, "If you are willing to loosen the gap at this moment… consider it as me owing you a favor. In addition, the marriage between the Meng family of Light City and the Lin family can also continue to be maintained."

The soul tablet of the Child of Blessing was broken.

Most likely, he suffered heavy damage.

But it didn't matter… His apostles were all "immortals" with extremely strong vitality. Even if their heads were cut off, they could still survive tenaciously. As long as the Child of Blessing was not reduced to ashes, he would still have a chance to save him when he arrived at the Calamity Zone.

"Sorry."

The Queen shook her head and stood up. "If you are holding this emergency meeting just to hope that I will release the authority… then I refuse. I do not accept any form of negotiation or threat."

She had no time to continue to be delayed in this meeting.

"Wait a moment."

The Sky God Seat, who had been smiling all along, stopped the Queen again.

Although he was sitting casually, he was sitting in the frontmost position among the Gods, closest to the chief… At this moment, the Sky's body leaned forward slightly, and the pressure in the conference room instantly increased.

The smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"Lin Lei."

The Sky stretched out his palm and said lightly, "Perhaps you can reconsider my proposal."

In his palm, there were endless winds swirling.

Strands of cloud qi appeared in the conference room, which were mirrors reflecting the sky… At this moment, every corner of the Doru River Calamity Zone was projected out.

The Queen paused slightly when she saw this scene.

This was a very terrifying thing. She wrapped the Calamity Zone with layers of divine thought, but in fact… the Sky could see it all.

The so-called "not knowing the true face" and "wanting to watch the fun" were all false pretenses.

More importantly, the Sky was showing his power at this moment, which was to warn himself… If he chose to fight the Traveler alone, then the Gods in the conference room would be able to see the subsequent battle.

The loft was sealed off all year round.

The furnace was exhausted.

Divine power was depleted.

Once her power was seen by the Gods present as a clear "decline," then even if she seized the eighth Seed of Fire, it would not be a good thing.

It would only lead to greater disaster.

"Sorry, let me repeat again, I do not accept any form of negotiation or threat."

The Queen only paused for a moment before lifting her foot again.

She left the conference room, only coldly throwing down such a sentence.

"Next, you can open your eyes wide and see everything that happens in the Calamity Zone."
