Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 450: Urgency

Mai Jia's words weighed heavily on the hearts of the Heavenly Realm cultivators present.

Even Long Xiang, a follower of the Solar Radiance Sovereign, wanted to speak up to prove that the Solar Radiance Sovereign was genuinely dedicated to Gaia's development. However, he couldn't think of any rebuttal at the moment.

Li Pin was the first to speak. "What evidence do you have to prove your words are true? Can I assume that this is what happened? The Demon Dragon Clan originally intended to target Gaia. But after seeing the abundance of Heavenly Realm Experts here, they made such statements deliberately to dissuade us from fully practicing the Cosmic True Dragon Secret Art, thereby weakening our overall strength and paving the way for a massive invasion in the future?"

Mai Jia replied, "If it were anyone else asking, I would've naturally ignored them. But to Gaia's lord, who single-handedly established a Legendary Martial God system capable of opposing the Astral Cultivators on this planet, I am willing to tell the truth.

"There are three points to prove that what we say is not false. Firstly, if Gaia were to oppose the Divine Dragon Empire, it could slightly divert their attention and indirectly reduce the pressure on our fellow resistors."

All the Heavenly realm cultivators looked at this expert of the Demon Dragon Clan without speaking.

Mai Jia continued, "The second point is similar to the first. If Gaia becomes part of the Divine Dragon Empire, the enemies we face will grow stronger. Sowing discord among you weakens the Divine Dragon Empire's power."

Mai Jia paused. "The most important point is the third. There's no need to wait until the second phase to contact the Homo Sapien Alliance. By the end of the first phase, which is now, the Homo Sapien Alliance would have already descended. During this time, they will contact powerful civilizations and issue warnings. They will respond and document your civilization if you actively contact them."

Yuan Zhenchuan looked up abruptly. "We can contact the Homo Sapien Alliance now!?"

"That's right," Mai Jia answered calmly. "Although contacting the Homo Sapien Alliance now won't grant you the support they provide in the second phase, it will at least destroy the Divine Dragon Empire's plan to convert you into one of their administrative planets and claim ownership of Gaia's civilization."

Li Pin added, "It will also trigger the most violent retaliation from the Divine Dragon Empire."

Mai Jia continued, "But as long as you succeed, the Homo Sapien Alliance will arrive soon after. In other words, you just need to withstand the first wave of the Divine Dragon Empire's retaliation.

"Every civilization usually has unique characteristics that form its fate and may even produce its supreme beings. The Holy Dragon Clan has the Progenitor Tree. I've encountered a civilization with avatars, and another that specializes in joint attacks...."

Mai Jia glanced at Li Pin. "I reckon that the Gaia civilization's unique characteristic is this martial arts system that Lord Li Pin developed. By leveraging on the unique system, you might be able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the Divine Dragon Empire and hold out until the Homo Sapien Alliance arrives."

The gaze of the Solar Radiance Sovereign and others once again fell upon Li Pin.

"The martial arts system is Gaia civilization's unique characteristic?"

"If I'm not mistaken, if you're still in contact with the Divine Dragon Empire, they will surely assist you while working to eliminate any factors unfavorable to the dissemination of the Cosmic True Dragon Secret Art. Only then can the transformation of your civilization be considered truly complete."

Mai Jia said bluntly, "If you've mentioned Lord Li Pin to them, they might even subtly influence your perception of him through special means, pushing you toward hostility."

Hearing that, the Solar Radiance Sovereign looked surprised, as did Yuan Zhenchuan, Fan Xiu, Xiao Donghai, and Bai Ying.

Yuan Zhenchuan and the others immediately directed their gaze at Solar Radiance Sovereign.

Li Pin noticed their unusual behavior and turned his gaze toward Solar Radiance Sovereign as well.

The Solar Radiance Sovereign opened his mouth, intending to refute. But in the end, he could only respond in a dry voice, "Yes, they did convey the idea that Gaia must unify its will to integrate into the Alliance."

Yuan Zhenchuan's face wrinkled with anger. "You—!"

He seemed on the verge of saying something, but in front of Li Pin, those words simply couldn't come out.

"That's enough," Li Pin said.

There was no need to guess what the Solar Radiance Sovereign and the others were discussing. It was nothing more than seeking other powers to create a balance or deterrence.

He turned his gaze to the Holy Dragon Clan member who called himself Mai Jia and asked, "You said we could contact the Homo Sapien Alliance now. What is the method of contact?"

"The Divine Kingdom, as well as through some special frequencies," Mai Jia said. "However, I have conditions."

He said solemnly, "The Holy Dragon Clan hopes to retreat to Gaia. We acknowledge Gaia civilization's rule over the planet and will assist in its development during this period. All we need is a place to propagate. When the war begins, some civilizations will inevitably perish. At that time, I hope Gaia civilization will help us find a new planet for our clan to settle down."

Li Pin replied, "First, provide us with the means to contact the Homo Sapien Alliance. Once we verify the authenticity of your method, we will decide internally and give you a response."

Mai Jia hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I will write down the frequency to contact the Homo Sapien Alliance through the Divine Kingdom. But keep in mind that even though the Homo Sapien Alliance has descended into this starry sky, the Gaia civilization lacks Legends.

"Therefore, the emitted frequency won't be strong. It will take time and luck for the Homo Sapien Alliance to receive this information."

"Time and luck are needed for the Homo Sapien Alliance to receive the frequency?" said Yuan Zhenchaun with urgency. "What about the Divine Dragon Empire?"

Mai Jia did not give him a definite answer, the reply could be found in his response. "You have no choice. The Divine Dragon Empire is already urging you to act, which shows that their patience is running out. If you don't send the message, you'll need to withstand two years of attacks from the Divine Dragon Empire. If you do send the message, with some luck, it could only take a few months."

"So, we need to rely on your strength even more?" Yuan Zhenchuan asked.

This was an open scheme.

Mai Jia did not argue with Yuan Zhenchuan but quickly wrote down the method and handed it to Li Pin.

Li Pin glanced at it and then handed it to Yuan Zhenchuan.

The Celestial Martial God Hall had not established a Divine Kingdom.

"Wait here for now," Li Pin said, instructing Ling Qingfeng, Long Xiang, and others to guard Mai Jia.

He called Yuan Zhenchuan and the others to leave the mountain range.

During this time, the Solar Radiance Sovereign glanced at Long Xiang but did not dare to take him away in this sensitive moment.

Considering that the Solar Radiance United Empire needed to obtain firsthand data on the Demonic Dragon Clan, he gave Long Xiang a look, signaling him to stay here obediently.

Upon receiving this look, Long Xiang's expression darkened. However, he still resolutely carried out the Solar Radiance Sovereign's orders.

After the group left the mountain range, they exited the alternate dimension.

Upon reaching the outside world, Yuan Zhenchuan wanted to explain why they had gathered with the Solar Radiance Sovereign and others.

However, just as he was about to do so, Li Pin asked, "Have you guys made any progress in your research on the alternate dimension space in the Death Valley?"

Yuan Zhenchuan was stunned for a moment. He quickly replied, "Yes, if we are correct, just as the Divine Dragon Empire cast a wide net, leading several forces to contact them, the Demonic Dragon Clan did the same. The faction behind this alternate dimension is the Demonic Dragon Clan. The alternate dimension in Death Valley is also theirs. The one in the Death Valley should be their main force."

Yuan Zhenchuan paused. "But this aligns with our speculation. If the Demonic Dragon Clan weren't strong enough, they wouldn't have been able to resist the Divine Dragon Empire for so long. So far, the Divine Dragon Empire has occupied Demonic Dragon Star, but scattered resistance still exists."

"When did you discover this?" Li Pin asked, then turned to the Solar Radiance Sovereign. "When did the Divine Dragon Empire urge you to use the Cosmic True Dragon Secret Art as bait to speed up Gaia's unification?"

Hearing this question, Yuan Zhenchuan and the Solar Radiance Sovereign quickly understood what Li Pin really meant.

The Solar Radiance Sovereign's pupils dilated sharply. He answered, "The time we traced the Demonic Dragon Clan's main force through the alternate dimension in Death Valley was just two days before the Divine Dragon Empire contacted me!"

Yuan Zhenchuan quickly said, "The Divine Dragon Empire knew that we contacted the Demonic Dragon Clan!? No, the Demonic Dragon Clan must have informed the Divine Dragon Empire that they had already contacted us, forcing the Divine Dragon Empire to act! The Divine Dragon Empire must know that the Demonic Dragon Clan possesses the method to contact the Homo Sapien Alliance."

A trace of pain flashed in the Solar Radiance Sovereign's eyes. "I... I...."

He never expected the situation to worsen so quickly.

Judging from various indications, everything Mai Jia, the Demonic Dragon Clan's envoy, said... seemed to be true.

"I am a sinner of Gaia... I am no longer qualified to remain in the position of the Gaia Alliance's chairman, nor can I stay in this role any longer..." The Solar Radiance Sovereign turned to Li Pin. "You are the most suitable candidate for this role."

Li Pin did not decline, nodding. "The Divine Dragon Empire should act soon, but... if you are willing to disguise yourselves, you might still be able to buy some time. I am at a critical stage in my cultivation. If we can get through this period, we may stand a chance against the Divine Dragon Empire."

As soon as he said this, everyone's gaze focused on Li Pin, each showing a look of hope in their eyes.

Yuan Zhenchuan quickly thought of something and said, "Could it be... you..."

"Still lacking a bit, but I can give it a try," revealed Li Pin.

"If it's a Celestial Core Fragment you're looking for... I have one," said the Solar Radiance Sovereign, his tone full of guilt. "Two months ago, my disciple Kui Sha found a Celestial Core Fragment underground. But at that time, I—"

Fan Xiu, Xiao Donghai, and Bai Ying spoke one after another.

"It's not too late to bring it over now."

"Do you need Spirit-Essence Orbs? Our Xiao family treasury still has some reserves."

"I have some Celestial Fruits and Bodhi Seeds on my side..."

Li Pin nodded. "Good, bring them over first."

The other Heavenly Realm cultivators also agreed and began their preparations.

At this moment, Fan Xiu thought of something and suddenly asked, "The Cosmic True Dragon Secret Art... are we still going to practice it?"

"Practice it. Why wouldn't we?" Li Pin said. "We are defending for now, but who can say for sure about the future? Perhaps one day, the roles of offense and defense will reverse."

He waved his hand decisively and firmly said, "Practice it!"
