Chapter 828: Great Catastrophe is Coming

Execute the Nine Lords?

Everyone looked at Kongwang as if they were looking at a madman, especially the representatives of the five major domains, whose expressions were incredibly colorful!

You have to know that the Nine Lords are the foundation of the existence of the nine major domains. Executing the Nine Lords would mean that all nine major domains would be completely destroyed, and everything would be completely swallowed by the Gray World.

Making a request for you to exterminate your own race...

Kongwang's request was simply absurd to the point of being ridiculous.

"If you want to tell a joke, I can have my young son who is in school come over to keep you company for a whole day... He likes jokes very much." The Nanhai Domain representative chuckled.

But immediately, his expression turned cold. "But we didn't come here to joke with you."

"This is not a joke." Kongwang said unhurriedly.

"I know that there are still demigods hidden in your major domains. Even without the Nine Lords to provide domain support, your demigods could temporarily support the domain, allowing a small number of humans to live under protection, and it wouldn't reach the point of complete extinction...

But if you don't execute all the Nine Lords within two years, humanity will surely perish."

At this moment, the expressions of all the domain representatives changed.

Perhaps it was because Kongwang pointed out that there were demigods in the major domains, perhaps because of the "humanity extinction theory" Kongwang mentioned, or perhaps because of his attitude of really intending to let the major domains execute the Nine Lords... In any case, at this moment, the representatives realized the seriousness of the matter.

No wonder Kongwang insisted on using these participants as hostages to force them to come and negotiate with him. If he had gone to the representatives of the five major domains and started by saying "I want you to execute the Nine Lords," he probably would have been taken down the next moment, and there would have been no chance for an equal dialogue.

"What does humanity's extinction have to do with executing the Nine Lords? What nonsense are you talking about?" The Xuanyu Domain representative frowned.

"The birth of the Ghost God Path will surely be accompanied by a great catastrophe... This is not just empty talk." Kongwang said calmly. "But it's not my appearance that will trigger a great catastrophe in the human world; it's only because there will be a great catastrophe in the human world that the Ghost Gate will open... My standing here is proof that a great catastrophe is coming."

"Great catastrophe? Where would a great catastrophe come from??"

"Could it be the Wuji Domain..."

Several domain representatives looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

"No, even if the Wuji Domain is indeed dangerous, it would at most be executing the Wuji Lord... What does that have to do with the other Nine Lords?" The Tower Master asked in a deep voice.

"A single Wuji Lord wouldn't cause the Ghost Gate to open; he doesn't count as a 'catastrophe'... I am referring to something more fundamental than the Nine Lords." Kongwang shook his head.

"More fundamental?"

"If we haven't guessed wrong..." Kongwang raised his hand and pointed to the sky. "It is about to return."

Several domain representatives were startled, and then, as if thinking of something, their expressions turned ugly instantly!

"The Red Star?!"

The Tower Master muttered to himself.

As the Tower Master of this generation, he believed in the prophecy once made by Tianshu Jun that the Red Star would inevitably return to Earth at some point in the future, and calculating its trajectory was the task of the Tianshu Domain... When Kongwang pointed to the sky, he immediately thought of what the so-called "great catastrophe" was.

"In that case, we should protect the Nine Lords even more, shouldn't we?" The Tower Master said in a deep voice.

"During the early stages of the Great Cataclysm three hundred years ago, humanity didn't have the Nine Lords and suffered heavy losses... In this era, although our technology is not as good as before the Great Cataclysm, we have the Nine Lords and demigods sitting in town. They are our reliance for confronting the Red Star!"

"Why do you think the Red Star is coming back?" Kongwang said lightly.

The Tower Master pondered for a moment. "We are not clear about this point yet. Calculating its trajectory is the purpose of our Tianshu Domain..."

"Because a part of it was left on Earth. It is returning to retrieve the part it lost." Kongwang continued. "And the Nine Lords are the carriers of that part... In other words, it was the Nine Lords that attracted it."

Kongwang's words left everyone present stunned in place.

"Its fragments created the Nine Lords, and the Nine Lords protected you... But now, they will become the source that triggers the second catastrophe.

When it descends for the second time, no one will survive. You, the Nine Lords, or the undead world will all be destroyed.

Therefore, the best way to prevent all this is to execute the Nine Lords now."

Kongwang's words were like a heavy bomb exploding in everyone's ears... Even Chen Ling, who was holding a walkie-talkie in the Old District, listening to the conversation while running, stopped in his tracks, his face filled with undisguised shock.

The amount of information contained in these words was too great, leaving the five domain representatives stunned in place for a time, their brains running at high speed.

Soon, the representative of the Tianshu Domain, the Tower Master of the Tower of Babel, frowned and spoke:

"I have a few questions:

First, is there any evidence to show that your so-called 'Red Star is coming for the Nine Lords'?

Second, assuming you are right and the Red Star is indeed coming for the Nine Lords, what makes you sure that the Red Star will avoid Earth after the Nine Lords are executed? The death of the Nine Lords does not necessarily mean the dissipation of the Red Star's power on Earth, right? What if they exist in a different way?

Third, assuming all of the above is true, does that mean the Red Star is actually an individual with self-consciousness? If so, will it feel angry because of the disappearance of its residual power, and instead become more determined to destroy Earth?

Fourth, is everything you said your personal opinion, or is it the conclusion of the Ghost Path Ancient Treasury or the undead world?"

The Tower Master was, after all, the leader in charge of the Tianshu Domain and a Clever God Path possessor; his logical thinking ability far exceeded that of ordinary people. It was impossible for Kongwang's few words to sway his thinking, and he quickly raised counterarguments.

Kongwang frowned and stared at the Tower Master, and after a long silence, he answered:

"Everything comes from the prophecies and deductions of our Ghost Treasury Six Paths in the undead world... We cannot give you any evidence, nor can we be sure that everything is absolutely correct...

But executing the Nine Lords is definitely the most hopeful and fastest method for humanity."

"In other words, the feasibility is unknown." The Tower Master nodded slightly. "I'm sorry, we will not execute the Nine Lords... at least not until we have collected concrete evidence. We will not abandon the living environment of tens of millions of people and execute the Nine Lords just because of your one-sided words."

The other four domain representatives had the same thought. Compared to the Red Star, whose descent was not yet known, the chain reaction caused by executing the Nine Lords was even more unacceptable to them.

Kongwang didn't seem surprised by their decision, just shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh...
