In the middle of the night, Zhou Meng was shocked by the news brought by his secretary. Shangguan Yuanhao had taken control of the Black City's Elders Guild and announced that Black City was leaving the Star Dragon Federation and forming an independent country!
"Is the leader crazy?!"
Zhou Meng was in disbelief. Why would Shangguan Yuanhao do something so crazy? He was basically pushing the entire Black City into a fire pit!
Zhou Meng hurriedly got dressed and rushed to Shangguan Yuanhao's residence. When he arrived at Shangguan Yuanhao's residence, he bumped into Si Tuying. He immediately asked Si Tuying, "Si Tuying, where is your teacher?"
Si Tuying looked at Zhou Meng and said, "Uncle Zhou, my teacher knew that you would come here to look for him. He specifically asked me to wait for you here. He is in the meeting room. I will bring you to him now."
Zhou Meng heard this and asked Si Tuying, "You know what your teacher did?"
Si Tuying nodded and said to Zhou Meng, "At first, I was a little surprised. However, after I understood the situation, I could understand Teacher's decision. I believe that you will be able to understand Teacher's decision as well."
Zhou Meng frowned when he heard this and asked, "What is going on?"
Si Tuying pretended to be mysterious and smiled, "You will know when the time comes."
When Zhou Meng saw this, he did not ask any more questions. He boarded the flying shuttle with Si Tuying and headed to the meeting hall. The two of them walked into the meeting hall, where the door was wide open. They saw many elders from Black City in the meeting hall. Zhou Meng initially thought that these elders would be angry at Shangguan Yuanhao's actions. However, these elders had a strange expression on their faces. They did not seem angry at all.
"Zhou Meng, you are here."
Shangguan Yuanhao smiled as he looked at Zhou Meng who was walking in from outside.
Zhou Meng quickly walked to Shangguan Yuanhao's side and asked in confusion, "Leader, what is going on?"
"I know that it is difficult for you to accept this. However, please believe me. I made this decision for the future of the human race." Shangguan Yuanhao sighed helplessly and handed Zhou Meng a piece of information. "Take a look at this."
Zhou Meng received the report with some doubt. When he saw the contents of the report, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. He cried out, "The insectoids are actually hiding an even larger army outside of space?!"
"That's right. What we see outside Star Dragon City right now is just the vanguard of the insectoid army. The other army is not moving because they are waiting for the best time to attack. They want to take down the Monster Realm in one fell swoop and occupy both the Monster Realm and the Star Dragon Federation!
Do you think we can stop Zerg's attack? "
Zhou Meng was stunned for a while before he asked, "Where did you get this information?"
"When I was in the Heir Center, I belonged to the Starry Councilman's faction. Now, the Starry Councilman is serving in Zerg's fleet in World Mountain. In order to expand his speaking power in Zerg, he revealed this information to me and asked me to make a choice."
"Choice?
What should I choose? "
At this moment, Zhou Meng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Shangguan Yuanhao took a deep look at Zhou Meng and asked, "Zhou Meng, tell me. Do you want to live a better life, or do you want to die meaninglessly for the Star Dragon Federation, which is about to sink under the Insectoid army?"
Zhou Meng didn't know how to answer Shangguan Yuanhao's question. Of course, he didn't want to die. However, even if he didn't want to die, would he be able to live?
Would Zerg let him go?
Unless …
Zhou Meng seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly. He asked Shangguan Yuanhao, "Captain, are you going to join Zerg like that Starry Councilman?!"
Shangguan Yuanhao nodded solemnly after hearing Zhou Meng's words. He said to Zhou Meng, "This is a helpless choice. It's also the only choice. I can't think of any other way to protect the human race. Zhou Meng, you have to know that there is only hope if we live. If we die, there will be nothing left.
We are joining Zerg not for ourselves, but for the future of the entire human race. We want to preserve the spark of the human race. Only by preserving the spark of the human race can we rise again. If we don't even have the spark of the human race, then there will never be a human race in this world! "
Shangguan Yuanhao's words were like magic in Zhou Meng's ears. It sounded very correct, but when he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be something wrong.
"Captain, I …"
Zhou Meng opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say. At this moment, he couldn't agree with Shangguan Yuanhao's words.
"I know it's hard for you to accept this in a short period of time. To be honest, I feel the same way. However, there are some things that we have to face."
Shangguan Yuanhao said to Zhou Meng, "You don't have to rush to give me a reply. You can think about it slowly. What you need to do now is to stabilize Linlin's emotions and let Linlin and Ying 'er become dao companions as soon as possible. I think it's better to do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is the founding day of our Sky Kingdom. There is no better time than today."
Zhou Meng didn't expect Shangguan Yuanhao to still care about Zhou Lin and Si Tuying becoming partners at a time like this. It seemed like Shangguan Yuanhao cared more about this than they did!
"I understand."
Zhou Meng's mind was in a mess. He didn't have time to think about the connection between these things. He was only following Shangguan Yuanhao's instructions. He didn't want to think about the rest.
…
World Mountain.
Lord Yin Shan sat on a cloud platform, overlooking the battlefield on the ground. The Shifter Army was charging at Zerg's defense line fearlessly. Large numbers of Shifter Army were sacrificing themselves every second. However, the Shifter Army didn't care at all. They were determined to break through Zerg's defense line in one go.
"Lord Yin Shan, there's news from the Star Dragon Federation."
A ghost appeared beside Lord Yin Shan and said softly, "Sky City has rebelled. They've established themselves as the Kingdom of the Sky."
Hearing this, Lord Yin Shan's expression changed. He said softly, "It seems like the Star Dragon Federation is done for. No one can stop Zerg from conquering this world."
"Lord Yin Shan, it's time for us to take action." The ghost looked at Lord Yin Shan passionately. "It's time for our Kingdom of the Sky to be established!"
"You're right."
A sick smile appeared on Lord Yin Shan's face. "We're going to establish our Kingdom of Yin Cultivators on this land. Yin Cultivators are the rulers here. They're the high and mighty gods. No one will look down on Yin Cultivators. We'll be truly equal!"
