Chapter 288: The Humans of Australia (2-in-1, additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch Chang Bai Feng Xue Sheng!) _2
Now, humanity's wings have grown strong; the best time to eradicate them has already passed.
Thinking of this, An Lin felt a growing sense of urgency.
There was no more time to wait.
A strand of Rule Power silently merged into the Alien Beast Ban.
The other five Immortals who jointly maintained the Alien Beast Ban simultaneously gave their feedback, and a phantom appeared before An Lin.
Today's events were equally disturbing for those who had been undisturbed for so long.
"Everyone, you've all seen the threat humans pose," An Lin said gravely. "When humans grow stronger and more Immortals stand on their side, where will that leave us?"
"Hmph! We should have followed An Lin's suggestion from the start and completely eradicated the humans!" The Sea Clam King snorted with a bit of discontent.
It was also the only one among the six Immortals that agreed with An Lin.
"We could just enslave them," the Wolf King casually suggested, "like in Australia, where human Beast Tamers are used as tools to accelerate the growth of alien beasts, and humans without Tamer talents work as beast slaves. Although we alien beasts are strong, there are still aspects where we fall short of humans."
"Not every place can be like Australia," An Lin said in a somber tone, glancing at the Wolf King. "Australia is unique; when the catastrophe struck, it was surrounded by both land and sea beasts, leaving no escape for Australian humans, which let you take advantage."
"But such measures wouldn't work on other continents!"
"Besides..." An Lin paused slightly, "you enslave humans in Australia; do you think when other human alliances grow stronger and have the resources, they won't settle accounts with you?"
As soon as he said this, the Wolf King's expression turned unpleasant.
This was something it tried hard not to think about, but An Lin had now pointed it out.
"But I'm innocent! I didn't kill any humans, not a soul in Antarctica!" the Icefield King couldn't help but complain.
"An Lin, you were the one who approached me, assuring me that by maintaining the Alien Beast Ban, we could gain more influence over Blue Star in the future. Now I haven't gained any benefits, just headaches!"
"Considering we are all elemental beings, I trusted you, and what do I get in return?"
"That Emperor Penguin King, I didn't see any of you helping me deal with it!" Speaking of which, the Icefield King was full of anger. "That guy isn't smart but is powerful. If it weren't for my body being an elemental life form, I'd be finished!"
Listening to the Icefield King's grievances, the other Immortals remained silent.
An Lin was inclined to become angry, but since the Icefield King was half-coerced into joining, chastising this guy now would be detrimental to the situation, so he had no choice but to coax, "Given the situation is like this, we might as well see it through to the end."
"Once the human threat is eliminated, we six Immortal beings can naturally suppress other Immortals and establish beast rules on Blue Star."
"I'll trust you one more time," the Icefield King huffed, then fell silent.
"An Lin, what do you intend to do?" Yan Rong asked gravely.
"The human forces are growing increasingly strong, so we need like-minded new allies," An Lin said solemnly, with anger in his eyes. "First Long Ao, then the Ghost Owl King; we've already lost two Immortals, but the humans' Immortals continue to grow."
"On Blue Star, some Immortals remain on the sidelines. It is time to make them choose sides," An Lin spoke sinisterly. "Once the situation becomes clear, there will be no need to wait for a celestial-level secret realm to emerge."
"We must take the initiative and give it our all to annihilate the humans in one fell swoop, eliminating future threats once and for all!"
"Accomplish everything in one battle!"
"I have no objections, but I need to wait a while," Di Xuan, who had remained silent until now, said gravely. "I am currently in a critical stage of transformation. Once I complete it, I will break free from the fetters of my root system and have more flexible movement capabilities."
An Lin paused for a moment.
Di Xuan's power was indeed formidable, yet the restrictions of its roots prevented it from acting easily.
Should Di Xuan become more mobile, it would mean far more to the beasts than having another Immortal.
For Di Xuan is an old and primordial beast species; its mastery of Rule Power far surpasses that of new Immortals.
But if time drags on too long, it might give humans the opportunity...
"How long will your transformation take?" he asked solemnly.
"It was originally going to take around four months," Di Xuan thought for a moment. "This last engagement consumed a large amount of my stored Rule Power, so it might take an additional two months."
So, six months then.
An Lin's eyes showed signs of hesitation.
Half a year, could too many variables arise?
If it were possible, it would wish to extinguish humanity with all the Immortals right away.
"If there's another half a year..." Yan Rong slowly began, "In my Red Flame Immortal Country, there is an emperor rank close to becoming an Immortal. With the aid of a celestial-level secret realm, in another half year, it should also ascend to Immortality."
Thus, there would be one more Immortal.
An Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and its inner balance began to tilt.
"I've lost the Mirage Treasure Pearl, and my power has dropped by thirty percent," the Sea Clam King said solemnly. "Even with full recovery, reaching the peak again will take at least four months."
"Then half a year from now," An Lin finally decided, turning to look at the Wolf King.
