Chapter 1592: Chapter 406: Immortal Body of Heaven and Earth, Great Clan Struggle (Part 4)

"This battle is only the first!"

His eyes turned sharp, and he said, "This is a game of chess that lasts for ten thousand years. In the future, every thousand years, there might be another so-called sparring!"

"Certainly, the Immortal citizens of a Royal City are important; once defeated, it would be a tremendous loss! But looking at the long term for the Human Race as a whole, it’s far less significant than an unmatched genius!"

"Because a genius has the potential to become a top-tier Immortal King, and even has the potential to question the Emperor!"

"If a young Great Emperor arises from among our Human Race, then what could be saved would be far more than just a mere Royal City! By then, the entire Royal Star could be easily rescued, and the Demons would have to cede the Northern Domain Starry Sky, freeing up large tracts of territory!"

"Therefore, the real most precious wealth of our Human Race is all of you!"

His gaze swept over to Su Muqing and others in the hall.

A genius means the future great weapon of the Human Race, which is also why the great clans spare no expense to nurture them.

As long as a genius rises, stepping into the Supreme Realm, it could bring countless benefits!

Hearing Su Zhenyuan’s words, everyone in the hall was shocked, falling into silence.

Su Wanqing looked at Li Hao, wondering how Li Hao guessed these things. If her father hadn’t said, she definitely couldn’t have imagined that the Demons’ purpose was to use the sparring battle to kill the geniuses of the Human Race and sever the lifeblood of the future!

"Father, since we’ve guessed the Demons’ purpose, should we avoid the battle, or truly fight to the death?"

A young man with a steady face asked in a low voice.

He was the second in the Su Family, Su Jingcheng.

With his elder brother already deceased, he was now the eldest at home. Such words could easily cause misunderstanding, but asking was an act of bravery!

After all, he might be misunderstood as being afraid to fight.

But he alone understood that since the Demons dared to challenge, they must be fully prepared. In this battle, someone will surely sacrifice themselves; he himself feared not, at most following his elder brother to battle the Demons to a shattered end!

But, what of his younger siblings?

Hearing Su Jingcheng’s words, the young man who previously stated he was willing to burn his Primordial Spirit to join the battle had a changed expression, looking at him in shocked anger.

Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue, however, had subtly shifted gazes, understanding their second brother’s intention, their eyes moved to their father above.

Su Zhenyuan looked at his children, seeing their questions in their eyes, and only one gaze was calm and clear, as if already having an answer.

That was the external young man.

At his heart emerged a moment of doubt, then he thought that the other might be a strategist, just having uncovered the Demons’ intent, and reaching this result wasn’t surprising.

"Avoidance is not an option."

Su Zhenyuan shook his head, slowly said, "After discussion among our families, not only can this battle not be avoided, but we must go all out, deploying our top geniuses from each tribe to engage the Demons in a life-and-death battle!"

"This battle, as the first session, must be won, not lost!"

"Once lost, future millennia will see the Demons challenge repeatedly, with endless consequences. Our Human Race will fall into a dilemma of advance or retreat; thus, even if they are fully prepared, and there is a possibility of your fall... you can only fight!"

Hearing his words, everyone in the hall was stunned, with a feeling of their blood freezing and boiling simultaneously.

Only fight?

No retreat?

If it was only offering their lives, why fear charging forward with anger!

But...behind them was the Human Race, a Royal Immortal City, even countless Royal Immortal Cities!

"Father, I will win, definitely!"

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly echoed in the hall, it was Su Muqing; her gaze became exceptionally sharp, cold, with forward-reaching killing intent!

To the side, Li Hao saw the young girl’s gaze, the resolute determination in the depths of her eyes, and for a moment, he was dazed.

As if the surroundings transformed, the grand hall disappeared, and he returned to the bustling Southern Domain battlefield, countless people cheering on the mountains, the Kings gazing, Supreme overlooking.

The exact same gaze, with determination... Li Hao stood dumbfounded, feeling a warmth surge from the heart, like time returned to that moment, never having left.

"Father, I will, even if it means death, I will fight to the death with one of them, making them pay a painful price!"

Another young man said.

"Father, I also request to join the battle!"

"Father..."

The sons of the Su Family, including Su Wanxue, Su Wanqing, all spoke in turn, their eyes full of intense killing intent and determination.

Su Zhenyuan saw their firm eyes, only feeling endless comfort yet also immense desolation.

"Good, good, my Su Family’s bloodline... has no cowards!"

Su Zhenyuan smiled contentedly, with affection in his eyes, slowly said:

"This grand plan concerns the future of the Human Race. The Demons will arrive in three years; by then, the top families of our Human Race will also gather at Gusu Emperor Star, and you have three years to prepare."

"Three years, an instant in time, whatever you need, feel free to apply to the family."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, slowly said: "The conditions for entering this battle were initially open to all in the Immortal Monarch Realm, but after our discussions, it was ultimately restricted to those with a soul life within a thousand years, so that we do not stake all our geniuses of the Human Race at once, cutting off our retreat!"

"Second brother, you are among those whose soul life has already exceeded a thousand years, in this battle, observe carefully, do not slack!"

"Muqing, cultivate well, whatever you need, feel free to choose from the family Secret Vault."

Hearing his words, Su Jingcheng and the others whose soul life had passed, all showed changed faces, not expecting they could not join the battle.
