Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"This makes sense!"

"Indeed, it should be so."

All eight regional powerhouses sitting around the conference table nodded in agreement with Luo Tiance's statement.

Liu Shengji expressed his concerns:

"If we can't figure out a solution to these three issues proposed by Director Luo in advance, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Yes," Zhu Wushi put away his usual irreverent and rugged demeanor and analyzed, "If Our Great Xia continues to lack divine manifestations and the birth of a God's Child, public sentiment will definitely be affected. Those disgusting people from foreign forces will certainly not miss this opportunity to strike at our hearts."

Cao Zei immediately chimed in, "If foreign forces have gods and Great Xia does not, mass panic is inevitable. When that happens, the people's morale will be shattered, which will inevitably shake the foundations of Our Great Xia, making it very difficult to ensure that the military's spirit does not disperse alongside."

"Moreover, once our younger generation is suppressed by the God's Child of foreign forces, the whole morale of Great Xia will be completely crushed."

Liu Shengji said earnestly, "So we must come up with countermeasures in advance, otherwise, when that day really comes, we'll be completely out of options."

The room fell silent as everyone was deep in thought.

Each person present was renowned both in Great Xia and abroad for their might and intelligence; they were truly at the pinnacle.

Facing such a formidable challenge and gathered here together, they genuinely couldn't think of any solution for the time being.

The others, unable to think of a solution themselves, turned their hopeful gazes toward Luo Tiance's approach.

Seeing that Luo Tiance was also deep in thought with furrowed brows, they internally sighed.

Difficult!

The predicament that Great Xia was facing now was too difficult.

There seemed to be no way to break through this impasse.

If it were just one enemy from foreign forces, they could use sheer numbers in battle or come up with other tactics to fight to the death.

But with so many deities reviving and the birth of God's Children inheriting Divine Power, they were truly at a loss for what to do.

"Are we just to sit here and wait for death?"

"Wait for the gods from foreign lands to revive, for their God's Children to rise and trample and butcher us at will?"

Liu Shengji's expression was grim, as he couldn't accept such a reality.

Cao Zei clenched his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes like a formidable predator.

"If not now, then never."

"While the God's Children of those foreign powers have not yet risen and their deities have not yet returned, we should strike now."

"If we can't solve the problems that will arise in the future, then we should eliminate all the potential threats now."

Liu Shengji glared:

"Cao, have you gone mad?"

"Although Great Xia is currently a top power on Earth, confronting multiple enemies would inevitably lead to devastating losses."

Cao Zei ground his teeth, his jaw muscles and sideburns trembling with tension.

"We still have a chance now."

"But if we don't act now, by the time those God's Children grow up and the gods fully revive in this world, then Our Great Xia will be like lambs awaiting slaughter, without any opportunity left."

"This..." Upon hearing Cao Zei's frenzy of an idea, Liu Shengji's initial reaction was that it was insane, but after carefully listening to Cao's argument, he found it made some sense.

Now they had the power to compete with foreign forces, but in a decade or more, the gap could grow much wider.

"Strike first to gain the upper hand," Liu Shengji murmured to himself.

The other eight people thought it over, and a gaunt elder spoke up:

"Now that we foresee this situation, we absolutely cannot sit by and wait for our doom."

"Striking first seems like a proactive choice."

"But we can also adjust the approach. Eradicating other powers is not feasible. Even Our Great Xia, strong as it may be, cannot withstand all the other powers on Earth."

Cao Zei immediately looked at him, "Zhao Yingtian, how would you modify the plan?"

The gaunt elder's eyes flashed with a ruthless fury, "Direct confrontation certainly won't work; we absolutely should not provoke widespread wrath. I believe that since the gods choose God's Children, these God's Children must be vitally important. If we can stealthily assassinate them one by one in advance, we can definitely alleviate the future pressure on Great Xia."

"And it could buy time for the talents of Our Great Xia to grow."

Cao Zei's eyes flickered.

"This plan is good... but..."

He hesitated slightly, but quickly firmed up his resolve.

"I think Old Zhao's suggestion is feasible."

"It's a good plan, but it requires the assassination of a group of infants." Liu Shengji shook his head, voicing the unspoken part of Cao Zei's thoughts, feeling somewhat irate:

"What kind of crap suggestion is this? It's one thing to fight openly with other powers, but to assassinate children who haven't grown up, I can't do it."

"Bang!"

Zhu Wushi slammed the table.

"This strategy is terrible. I could kill anyone in my lifetime, but I couldn't bring myself to kill babies. It's just despicable."

The gaunt elder, Zhao Yingtian, met Zhu Wushi's angry and disdainful gaze, emphasizing word by word, "Those are not Our Children, those are the enemy's children!!"

"In your eyes they may be weak infants, but having inherited Divine Power, they will inevitably be fearsome opponents in the future, their hands drenched with the blood of Our Children and warriors."

"On the battlefield, there are no old people, no children, only enemies!!"

Zhu Wushi breathed heavily, his large eyes staring intensively at Zhao Yingtian.

"I know, I know you're right."

"But those are children, children who have not yet acted against us. They know nothing of war, and at this moment, are unaware of everything, yet just because we perceive them as threats to Great Xia, we should strangle them in their cradles?"
