Chapter 1609: Chapter 659: Silver-Tongued Persuasion (Part 2)
The title of Star Monarch is not his endpoint, merely a waypoint.
But if we fail to act now, we will ultimately become the bones upon which he ascends!
Today is already our last chance!" Tianyang Star Lord said solemnly.
"Do you mean, to join forces?" Cangming Star Lord shouted.
"Based on prior findings, when the two of you joined forces, he easily defeated you. Even if the three of us unite, the odds of defeating and killing Xu Jin are not high. I estimate it won’t exceed twenty percent," Tianyang Star Lord said.
"So you brought the main tower of Star-picking Tower, meaning with its augmentation, the three of us might kill Xu Jin?" Doom-suppressing Star Lord sneered.
Hearing this, Tianyang Star Lord shook his head, "That’s just one aspect. With the augmentation of this main tower of Star-picking Tower, even if we unite, the chance of killing Xu Jin remains only thirty percent.
Thirty percent is far too low!"
"So that’s nonsense, isn’t it?" Cangming Star Lord said.
"There’s one last method, and it’s our final opportunity," Tianyang Star Lord stated.
"What method?"
"Allot the authority of Star-picking Tower to one person and mobilize the tower. This can exponentially increase its power, raising our chance to kill Xu Jin to at least forty percent.
Simultaneously, gathering the Heaven and Earth Authority we each possess into one person’s hands would significantly enhance combat power, increasing the win rate by an additional ten percent.
With these advantages working together, the win rate would skyrocket like stairs.
Sixty percent.
I estimate our probability of killing Xu Jin would be at least sixty percent.
If we then unite wholeheartedly, without scheming against one another, and exert all of our strength, the probability of killing Xu Jin could reach seventy percent.
Gentlemen, this is our last chance," Tianyang Star Lord said.
Upon hearing this, Cangming Star Lord was the first to scoff, "Tianyang, if I haven’t guessed wrong, you surely want to gather the Heaven and Earth Authority into your hands, and further consolidate the authority of Star-picking Tower into your grasp.
Do you take us for fools or idiots?
Would we play along like that?"
Scoffed at by Cangming Star Lord, Tianyang Star Lord remained unperturbed and calmly continued, "I recently inherited spatial techniques, greatly augmenting my combat power. The Heaven and Earth Authority wielded by me would be most effective. However, the authority of Star-picking Tower must be allocated to one of you two.
Because I will be the main force against Xu Jin and will be too occupied to trigger the Star Tower to summon Star Power against him.
Moreover, I can swear a Great Dao Oath: to fight to the death against Xu Jin, never retreat a step, and decide life and death. Upon victory, I will prioritize helping the one who did not receive augmented authority to attain the Tenth Rank Star Monarch, and after the battle, surely return the Heaven and Earth Authority, etc.
The one among you who receives the authority of Star-picking Tower must also swear a similar Great Dao Oath."
Upon hearing this, Doom-suppressing Star Lord and Cangming Star Lord exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
Tianyang Star Lord is indeed serious!
And intensely resolute.
A Great Dao Oath prevents Tianyang Star Lord from seeking the Tenth Rank Star Monarch if broken.
Moreover, fighting to the death against Xu Jin without retreating seals off Tianyang Star Lord’s potential escape.
He is genuinely committed!
Now, they must decide!
Doom-suppressing Star Lord and Cangming Star Lord fell into deep contemplation.
"One thing you should be clear about: among us three, or say four, after so many years of struggle, none of us truly vanquished the others. It’s like brothers competing persistently but ultimately drawing evenly, at about eight taels catty.
You all know about the attack on Lingji Star Hall twenty-two years ago; it was solely for Lingji’s exclusive Secret Technique to nurture Daoist Embryos!
Doom-suppressing, you actually participated back then, just didn’t show face.
We three will inevitably coexist.
But Xu Jin’s growth over these past three years, as you’ve seen, follows the trajectory of death of other experts.
Young ambition.
After unifying the Eight Desolate Continent, can you say Xu Jin won’t unify the current world?
Cangming, was Xu Jin’s maternal grandfather Ji Bang slain by you?"
At these words, Cangming Star Lord’s face drastically changed.
"Don’t deny it! Ji Bang’s granddaughter Ji Hongli is now the mistress of Dachen’s Town Domain Royal Mansion. Do you think Xu Jin won’t seek vengeance?
When he does, can you withstand it?" Tianyang Star Lord said.
Cangming Star Lord’s face suddenly turned unspeakably ugly.
This practically acknowledges the matter, making Tianyang Star Lord even more assured.
"I can’t escape Xu Jin’s wrath either. Xu Jin has too many reasons to hold me accountable; alone, I can’t withstand him! I don’t want to die of old age in Tianyang Small World, which is why I seek you out."
After speaking, Tianyang Star Lord turned to Doom-suppressing Star Lord and added, "As for Doom-suppressing, it looks easiest on the surface! But if I’m eliminated, and Cangming is vanquished, leaving only you, how long do you think you’ll remain?
Even if Xu Jin spares you, would Dachen’s officials and generals resist the temptation to rule the world?
The Age of Humanity will propel everything forward!
Perhaps you, Doom-suppressing, may die even more miserably than us!
This holds true, even if Xu Jin chooses to spare you right now.
But I believe with Xu Jin’s lightning tactics, it’s unlikely!"
At these words, even the usually composed Doom-suppressing Star Lord’s face changed.
Especially the phrase "Age of Humanity" genuinely frightened him!
As Tianyang Star Lord proposed, if he and Cangming perish, leaving only Doom-suppressing, his fate would be contingent upon Xu Jin’s whims.
That truly is...
"Gentlemen, this is our last chance! If willing to proceed as I previously proposed, I’ll swear the Great Dao Oath as stated.
Moreover, if we kill Xu Jin, we could acquire the Heaven and Earth Authority Xu Jin pressured from Sima Qu’s hands and share it amongst us,
Time is still long, years fleeting, this Kunling Domain remains ours, giving all three of us opportunities to become Star Monarchs," Tianyang Star Lord’s voice was highly persuasive!
Indeed, Cangming Star Lord and Doom-suppressing Star Lord were tempted.
As Tianyang Star Lord said, the last chance!
"I’m in!" Cangming Star Lord made the first decision.
Subsequently, both their gazes focused entirely on the still hesitant Doom-suppressing Star Lord.
"Determine swiftly; delay may bring harm!" Tianyang Star Lord said.
"Exactly, Doom-suppressing, make a decision!" Cangming Star Lord also urged.
In the next instant, Doom-suppressing Star Lord’s indecisive expression turned resolute, evidently reaching a conclusion.
But just as he was about to speak, applause sounded from afar!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
"Today, I finally witness what it means to be a silver-tongued orator!"
Amidst the applause, Xu Jin’s voice and figure simultaneously appeared from afar, dramatically changing the trio’s expressions, making them exceedingly grim in an instant!
