When the news of Heavenly King Oliver's death and the two hundred million Tian people's army almost annihilated reached the frontline of the Deus Cluster, Vio almost went crazy.
Zerg actually hid a supreme existence at the Tribulation Stage. This news was absolutely a bolt from the blue for them!
When Vio wanted to contact Pope Bodolo because of this, he found that Bodolo had lost contact, and the person he contacted was Jia Le.
"The Pope is doing something very important and can't be disturbed by anyone. We need to make our own decisions during this period of time."
Hearing Jia Le's words, Vio was shocked. He quickly asked, "What is the Pope doing?"
Jia Le was silent for a moment before replying, "The Divine Master summoned the Pope. The Divine Master wants to help the Pope advance to the Tribulation Stage!"
Hearing this, Viao's face immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. This news was definitely good news for them.
"Before you succeed, don't reveal this news to anyone. I'm telling you this mainly to calm you down."
Jia Le said to Vio, "I'm worried that if the news leaks out, it will speed up the operation of Zerg and the Demons. This is very disadvantageous for us. What we lack most now is time."
"I know what to do."
Vio's tone was very serious. "I will do my best to guard the frontline and buy enough time for the Pope to advance!"
Vio had just finished his conversation with Jia Le when Qinchuan came to visit. Vio looked at Qinchuan's cold expression and thought of the good news he had just heard. He hesitated for a moment and didn't share it with Qinchuan in the end.
Qinchuan didn't notice the change in Vio's expression. He asked Vio directly, "Is the Divine Master the only one in the Tribulation Stage in the One God Religion?"
Vio was shocked when he heard Qinchuan's question. Could it be that Qinchuan had heard some news?
However, judging from Qinchuan's behavior, it shouldn't be the case. It seemed that Qinchuan was only asking this out of curiosity.
"Qinchuan, are you asking me this because of Guru?"
Vio looked at Qinchuan and sighed. "To be honest, the news of Guru advancing to the Tribulation Stage is also very shocking to me. We didn't receive any news before this."
Qinchuan frowned slightly and asked, "Is it very difficult to advance from the Unification Stage to the Tribulation Stage?"
Vio said with a bitter expression, "If it was a simple matter, we wouldn't have waited so many years in the Unification Stage."
If a cultivator wanted to advance from the Form Synthesis stage to the Crossing Calamity stage, the most important thing was to cross the calamity. When a cultivator completely fused his strength into one during the Form Synthesis stage, he had the possibility of triggering the Immortal Tribulation. Once he crossed the Immortal Tribulation, he could become an Immortal on the spot and would no longer suffer from the Thunder Tribulation.
The so-called Immortal was another name for the more powerful cultivators. It was different from the previous cultivators because the cultivators who passed the Immortal Tribulation and reached the Tribulation Passing Stage would completely transcend the mortal world and become an immortal existence!
Only people of the same level could kill a Tribulation Stage cultivator who could be called an Immortal.
No matter how strong an overlord at the peak of the Unification Stage was, it was impossible for him to kill an Immortal!
Qinchuan could face a Unification Stage overlord when he was at the Dongxu Stage. However, he couldn't kill a Tribulation Stage cultivator at the peak of the Unification Stage!
This was the law of the universe and couldn't be broken easily!
It was also because of this that Tribulation Stage cultivators were called supreme existences.
Qinchuan didn't know much about the Tribulation Stage. After hearing Vio's explanation, he frowned and asked, "So, you're all afraid of the Tribulation Stage?"
Vio nodded, then shook his head and said, "We've been at the peak of the Unification Stage for countless years. According to common sense, we should have had the chance to reach the peak of the Unification Stage. However, once we reach the peak of the Unification Stage, we can't use our strength as we wish in battle because we might trigger the Tribulation Stage if we're not careful. The Tribulation Stage is so terrifying that ordinary people can't resist it. Even the rare Nine Levels of Mysterious Heaven Tribulation can't compare to a tenth of the Tribulation Stage!"
Qinchuan nodded and said, "So, the Pope should be at the peak of the Unification Stage."
Vio looked at Qinchuan and said, "What are you trying to say?"
"Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse and the Deus Cluster is about to be destroyed, hasn't the Pope thought of trying to pass the Tribulation Stage?"
Qinchuan looked at Vio and said, "Or, the Pope has already reached the Tribulation Stage but hasn't announced it to the public?"
Vio shook his head and said, "The Pope is indeed at the peak of the Unification Stage, but … he hasn't reached the Tribulation Stage yet."
Qinchuan heard the hidden meaning in Vio's words. Hasn't reached the Tribulation Stage yet? Does that mean he's trying to reach the Tribulation Stage?
Seeing the change in Qinchuan's expression, Vio looked at Qinchuan suggestively and didn't say anything more. However, Qinchuan already understood Vio's meaning.
In fact, Vio didn't intend to reveal the news that the Pope was trying to pass the Tribulation Stage to Qinchuan. However, if he wanted to stabilize the front line and buy enough time for the internal turmoil, he needed Qinchuan's help. Therefore, in order to stabilize Qinchuan, he had no choice but to reveal this news to him in a subtle way. This way, he wouldn't break his promise to Qinchuan.
Qinchuan took a deep breath and said, "Even so, we're still at a disadvantage."
"I know, but now we can only take one step at a time." Vio said to Qinchuan, "We can't afford to lose the front line."
Qinchuan looked at Vio subtly and said, "I feel like I've been tricked by you."
Vio shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth. Besides, we're allies."
"All right."
Qinchuan sighed and said, "I'll try my best to buy time for you. However, if the situation develops to a point where it's hard to maintain, I'll leave decisively."
Qinchuan would never fight to the death in the front line. When he had done his best, he would leave decisively. He would never put himself in danger.
Even if he had to die, he should die protecting the City of Starting Points and the war between the Human Tribe and the Demon Tribe, not in the war protecting the One God Religion. He had never been a selfless person, and it was difficult for him to be selfless.
Vio wasn't surprised or angry at Qinchuan's attitude. They were allies, but he had no reason to ask Qinchuan to sacrifice himself for the Deus Cluster and the One God Religion. Therefore, he was very grateful that Qinchuan could do his best.
While the two were talking, an officer of the One God Religion hurried in and said in a hurried tone, "Archbishop, the Devil Tribe is on the move. They're gathering their troops!"
