"Young Master, the food here in the Central Continent isn’t as good as our Eastern Continent’s, it’s not spicy at all!" Cecilia said after taking a bite of a chicken leg.
"Indeed, much blander!" Adam picked up some green vegetables with his chopsticks, if this were in the Silver Willow Dynasty, it would definitely be stir-fried with chili peppers.
"Did you guys hear? The Eastern Continent garrison fought to the death to hold the defense line, I heard they paid an extremely tragic price!"
"Yeah, they originally could have retreated, but for the sake of the common people, they fought to the bitter end, even the commander perished in mutually assured destruction with the enemy!"
Sounds of discussion came from the neighboring table, Adam’s ears perked up, he was paying close attention to the war, as it was closely related to everyone in the Mysterious Yellow Great World.
"The commander mutually destructed? Why?" someone asked.
"Because someone had to take the blame for the order to fight to the death without retreating, so mutually assured destruction was heroic, but also something he was forced to do!"
"Sigh, what a pity for one of our Human Race’s powerhouses."
"Wait, why didn’t anyone reinforce them? Aren’t our Central Continent and the Western Sea defending fine? Didn’t they send support?"
"You don’t understand, our Human Race has been at peace for too long, fighting a cruel race like the Demons already puts us at a disadvantage, plus, the Heavenly Court has centralized all the resources of heaven and earth, so the actual strength of our mortal armies isn’t very high!"
"Then what about the Heavenly Court? They’re so powerful, why didn’t they send reinforcements?"
"Exactly! The Heavenly Court has so many powerful gods, why didn’t they help?"
The discussion shifted from the Eastern Continent garrison to the Heavenly Court, people felt deeply puzzled by the Heavenly Court’s actions.
As rulers of the world, they had allowed the Demon Race army to attack so arrogantly, it made no sense.
Discussions like this were taking place in every corner of the Mysterious Yellow Great World.
Listening, Adam’s eyes narrowed slightly, people had finally started noticing this issue, he had always been suspicious, but hadn’t heard many discussing it before, with so much discussion now, it felt as though someone was pulling strings and manipulating public opinion.
"Young Master, why didn’t the Heavenly Court send reinforcements?" Cecilia asked in confusion.
"Yeah, why didn’t they?" Adam muttered, brows furrowed, he knew this question was not simple and involved deep-rooted reasons.
Seeing that the Young Master didn’t continue, Cecilia figured he didn’t know the answer either, so she buried her head and continued eating.
"Something has gone wrong with the Heavenly Court, do you remember that terrifying giant mouth from last time?" Suddenly, Adam’s voice rang out again.
Cecilia’s pupils shrank, that was a scene she would never forget, a terrifying giant mouth that blotted out the sky and sun.
"Young Master, I remember!"
"I didn’t tell you at the time, but right before that giant mouth appeared, the aura of the Heavenly Court emerged!" Adam said slowly.
Cecilia’s eyes widened in shock.
"The Heavenly Court’s aura? Young Master, are you saying the giant mouth is related to the Heavenly Court?" Her voice trembled slightly, she couldn’t imagine such a terrifying giant mouth being connected to the Heavenly Court.
"That’s right, and I suspect something might have gone wrong inside the Heavenly Court itself!" Adam nodded, solemnity flashing in his eyes.
As the absolute ruler of the Mysterious Yellow Great World, the Heavenly Court had always been mysterious and powerful, no matter what, they represented the righteous path, that horrifying giant mouth shouldn’t have any ties to the Heavenly Court.
Unless something really had gone wrong inside.
This thought made Adam uneasy, if there was a problem within the Heavenly Court, the entire Mysterious Yellow Great World might be plunged into crisis.
"Young Master, what should we do?" Cecilia asked worriedly.
"No rush, we handle the matters at hand first, then investigate the Heavenly Court later!" Adam took a deep breath, determination flashing in his eyes.
He knew his current strength was insufficient to confront a behemoth like the Heavenly Court, but he believed that one day he would become stronger and uncover the truth behind all of this.
For the next few days, Adam and Cecilia stayed at the inn to improve their strength, making ample preparations for the Azure Cloud Hunt.
Heavenly Void Mystic Realm, Demon Extermination Alliance.
"Draw two armies from the Central Continent and the Western Sea to reinforce the Eastern Continent, we cannot let the Demon Race advance further!" Damion looked at the strategic map, his expression grave.
"Yes, Alliance Leader!" An armored guard nodded and departed swiftly.
"Are all the Patriarchs ready?" Damion asked.
"They are already waiting at the Ladder!" another guard replied.
"Good!" Damion nodded, and his figure vanished.
When he reappeared, he stood alongside several other figures, they were the Patriarchs of the major families of the Heavenly Void Mystic Realm, including the Dawn, Tempest, and Vesper families.
Their gathering this time was to put pressure on the Heavenly Court.
"Has the pressure from the mortal realm been applied?" Jorath, the Patriarch of the Tempest Family, looked at Damion and asked coldly.
"Rest assured, it has been fermenting for several days, the Heavenly Court should have already felt the decline in incense offerings and faith power!" Damion said slowly.
The incense offered by the mortal realm and their faith in the gods were extremely important resources to the Heavenly Court.
"That is good!" Jorath snorted coldly.
"On this trip, if the Heavenly Court refuses to intervene, our mortal realm will absolutely not let this go!" Athen, the Patriarch of the Dawn Family, said indignantly.
"Naturally, the Heavenly Court cannot remain so aloof forever, the incense and faith power our mortal realm offers every year is no small amount, not to mention the resources they have seized from us, they must give us an explanation!" the Vesper Family Patriarch chimed in.
