Chapter 2524: Ceasefire_1

Gazing at the sky, Tang Wulin turned to Yue Zhengyu and asked, "Zhengyu, how long has it been since Teacher Xu and the Abyssal Emperor were swept into the black hole?"

Yue Zhengyu paused, his reply tinged with sorrow, "It's almost been a month now!"

By now, he had completely taken over his grandfather's position and become the youngest Clan Leader of the Angel Family!

Of course, there was not a trace of joy in his heart!

Tang Wulin pressed his lips together, "Yes, a month has already passed, yet there's still no change."

Yue Zhengyu understood his meaning instantly but still couldn't help saying, "Wulin, although I shouldn't be saying this, I still want to ask, do you plan to continue waiting here?"

"Everyone... seems to be getting a little restless."

At first, the Shrek Seven Monsters could keep him company in the wait!

But with no news for so long, they also realized they couldn't stay here forever; there were other things to attend to!

Tang Wulin sighed, "Yes, I have delayed everyone for so long. You all go back first; I still want to wait a bit longer."

Perhaps, it won't be long before Elder Xu can break free from the predicament!

Yue Zhengyu placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Wulin... since this is what you want, I have no objections, but I want to remind you that my grandfather also fell in this battle, and you're not the only one who feels sorrow."

"Alright, you stay here then, and we will go back first! But... don't let us wait too long."

With those words, he turned and left...

Just as the former disappeared, a voice once again rang out within his heart, "Wulin..."

Tang Wulin's expression immediately changed from shock to joy, excitedly exclaiming, "Dad... Dad, is that really you??"

He had clearly seen with his own eyes his father being killed by the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss!

"Yes, it's me," the voice sounded again...

Tears welled up in the corners of Tang Wulin's eyes, "Dad, it's great that you're not dead, I thought you were ... by the Abyssal Emperor..."

"Wulin, I'm sorry to have worried you, the one who died then was just a clone of mine, but it brought no small backlash,"

"It's only now that I have completely recovered!"

Tang Wulin once again spoke, "Dad, after your clone was defeated by the Abyssal Emperor, another God entered into battle with him, but it seems they were both swept thousands of years into the past!"

In the Divine Realm, Tang San's eyes flickered quietly. The God Wulin was referring to, was it Brother Sheng? It seems his identity has been exposed.

But, it's also his own fault, failing to deal with the Abyssal Emperor!

He should have slain him with the utmost speed before the latter ascended to Divine King!

But now, it's too late to say anything!

With that thought, he spoke, "Wulin, I understand. Since it's a return to thousands of years ago, there is no need to worry about the Abyssal Emperor!"

Tang Wulin, however, couldn't understand and anxiously asked, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"Aren't you planning to enter the black hole to help him?"

Tang San didn't answer directly, "Wulin, you'll understand in the future."

"By the way, where's the Sea God's Trident?"

Tang Wulin bowed his head, his eyes filled with self-reproach...

The former had entrusted the Sea God's Trident to him, but now it had been destroyed by the Abyssal lord, not even leaving any remnants...

"The Sea God's Trident, it has been destroyed by the Abyssal Emperor!"

To this, Tang San was not surprised, "Is that so... But a Divine Artifact isn't so easily destroyed. Go back to where the Divine Artifact was destroyed and use your Divine Power to sense the fragments of the artifact,"

"As soon as they detect your presence, they can be reforged into the Sea God's Trident once more, but it will take a long time, so be prepared!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin earnestly replied, "I understand, Dad!"

…

Watching their comrades being ruthlessly crushed by the federal army right in front of them, the hearts of the Douling Empire warriors became panicked, and a faint intent to retreat began to emerge…

"No, this battle has been going on for half a month already, our Douling Empire's army has already suffered significant casualties, if this continues, the entire Douling Empire will receive an indelible blow!"

"That's right, we must have His Majesty the Emperor order an end to this battle!!"

"I... I want to escape, facing such a powerful federal army, there is simply no possibility of victory!!"

"Exactly, the enemy has advanced mechas and soul weapons, we can't even breach their defense!!"

The leading strongman of the Douling Empire, upon hearing the discussions below, said with an ugly expression, "Damn...after experiencing such a great battle, does the federation still have spare strength?"

Then, he shook his head violently…

No, I must report to His Majesty the Emperor to stop this battle, even if it means paying a heavy price!

Better than the extinction of the Douling Empire!

No, that won't do, it's simply too late!

We must stop the war immediately, right now!

Thinking this, he shouted without hesitation, "Warriors of the Douling Empire, cease all attacks immediately and retreat one thousand meters to the rear!"

Upon receiving the order, the Douling Empire's army, which had already lost the will to fight, retreated to the rear at the fastest speed…

Seeing this, the commander on the federation's side said with a cold voice, "Hmph, thinking of calling for a cease-fire, are they?"

Otherwise, they would not cease any attack and withdraw to the rear!

The rest of the strongmen, hearing this, couldn't help but ask, "Should we continue to pursue?"

The former refused, "No need, this time we have already greatly dampened the Douling Empire's spirit, now we just need to wait for the emperor of the Douling Empire to enter negotiations."

This time, it will take more than just spending some resources to quell the federation's wrath!

Having said that, he also issued orders to the federal army to stop advancing…

Both parties fell into a brief silence

…

The imperial palace of the Douling Empire!

One of the ministers knelt on the ground, sobbing, "Your Majesty the Emperor, our Douling Empire's army has been almost disastrously defeated in the war with the federation!"

"Those newly developed soul tools can't even penetrate the enemy's mechas!"

The enormous technological gap has already determined the outcome of this war!

Xue Yuntian's face looked terrible, but things were still within his expectations...

"Hmm, it's time for a cease-fire!"

This war has already dissipated much of the federation's anger…

Now, it's just a matter of some material action to save the Douling Empire from dire straits…

He then said, "Send a messenger to the federation immediately to discuss compensation!"

"As long as it's not too excessive, the Douling Empire agrees to it!"

Originally, if he hadn't listened to that Ghost Emperor guy's instructions and chosen to send troops to reinforce the federation, the situation would definitely not be this dire!

The more he thought about it, the more intense his anger grew, and he ordered again, "Also... at all costs, destroy the Holy Spirit Cult strongholds within the Douling Empire!!"
