Chapter 211: Ambitions of Su Qi Amidst Disaster
"It shouldn't spread to this extent, right."
Listening to these alarming words, someone was unwilling to believe it.
This was also the sentiment of most people.
Once it really spreads to the Ninth District, all the efforts made now would be in vain.
"Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario. Although no one wants to face such a reality, it's not impossible either. So, we need to prepare in advance and finalize emergency plans."
"Furthermore, we will continuously deploy reconnaissance equipment into the Wilderness to grasp the latest developments."
"We hope the process of world convergence can slow down, or even stop."
Lin Nan slowly stated the purpose of gathering everyone this time.
Next, everyone engaged in heated discussions about the Ninth District's evacuation plan, selecting a new site, forming a special team to search for the key artifacts in the world convergence, and leveraging personal connections to contact Holy City's Destruction-level powerhouses, among other matters.
Despite the differing opinions, there was a common understanding.
That is, avoid relocating from this place unless absolutely necessary.
After all, with the Thirteenth District as a cautionary example, the losses caused by a mass relocation are immeasurable. Moreover, the Ninth District is currently in a phase of rapid development. Conducting a large-scale migration now would be extremely damaging, taking years to recover.
The most discussed topic was contacting Destruction-level powerhouses.
If Holy City truly refuses to help, then everyone, even at the expense of money, wants to invite a few Destruction-level powerhouses to oversee.
But pure wealth alone can hardly move transcendent beings of this level.
Therefore.
The heavy responsibility falls on the major financial families, as they inherently possess Destruction-level powerhouses.
Appeal with emotion, elucidate with interests.
It should still be possible to invite some people.
In addition, the City Lord's Mansion is also actively contacting Holy City and other districts.
In short, every decision is made on the premise of the worst-case scenario, even if it seems like undue worrying, it is better than being caught off guard in the future.
The meeting continued until the evening.
Tea was replaced again and again, and snacks were hardly touched, for there was no leisure to indulge now.
After the general framework was finalized.
Many turned their gaze towards the silent Su Qi, asking with hopeful tones: "I wonder if your company..."
Upon hearing this.
Su Qi understood immediately.
They were not asking about the cleaning company, but rather the attitude of the 'Ancient Force' behind the cleaning company.
Su Qi pondered for a moment and ambiguously replied: "Our company naturally stands with the Ninth District, and if the opportunity arises, we are willing to step in to quell this disaster."
Hearing this, many couldn't help but silently breathe a sigh of relief.
However, those in the know, like Pei Jing and others, furrowed their brows, their expressions turning serious.
Why does this tone sound like this guy has some restless ideas?
Thus, after the meeting ended, Pei Jing gave Su Qi a look, signaling him to stay behind.
"Come on, tell us, I feel like there's a lot more you want to say," Pei Jing said with a serious face.
Su Qi organized his thoughts.
Then, he brought up the time during the last great migration when the Thirteenth District was reduced to ruins, and an incident of a transcendent possibly controlling the Heavenly Dao.
Immediately, everyone was shocked.
Especially Xia Shengxuan and Qiu Ran, who were also on-site at the time, yet they too failed to detect anything.
Instead, they were caught in the shock of a district turning to ruins in the blink of an eye.
Then, Qiu Ran's face showed wild joy: "Haha, doesn't this mean we have a top-tier transcendent constantly paying attention to this disaster, so what are we worried about, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
"Aiyo, Su Qi, why didn't you say so earlier, making us worry like this."
At this point, Pei Jing said solemnly, "No, that's not right!"
"Su Qi, are you sure you didn't hear it wrong? Did that top-tier powerhouse say 'you, went too far'?"
Su Qi nodded.
Pei Jing took a deep breath: "Then we cannot relax, the term 'went too far' could likely mean that top-tier transients are tacitly allowing the world convergence to begin."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ran was immediately shocked: "Allow? Is he out of his mind? Allowing such a disaster, that's no different from being a traitor!"
Pei Jing glanced coldly at Qiu Ran and said, "He's not the only one out of his mind; many Destruction-level transients have issues as well."
Hearing this, everyone immediately understood who Brother Pei was referring to.
"Each Destruction-level transcendent having issues doesn't mean they're truly insane; there must be reasons that cannot be disclosed to the public," Pei Jing said lightly, "let alone those above Destruction-level, they absolutely cannot be judged by common sense."
"Quite the opposite, when they don't exist, perhaps it suits our level of understanding better."
At this moment, Su Qi interjected, "My point wasn't that transients above Destruction-level are assisting."
"Rather, from this event, it seems the top-tier forces on both sides are likely constrained by some restriction or agreement, not allowing them to act freely."
"This means we might be able to resolve it with our own strength."
"..."
The spacious meeting room immediately fell silent, and one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's minds were racing at this moment, except Chen Zhen and Qiu Ran who were somewhat puzzled.
They looked at each other and asked in confusion, "Doesn't this align with our plan, forming an Extraordinary Squad to search for the key artifact, if it's truly found, it would naturally end the process of world convergence."
However.
"That's not what Su Qi means." At this point, Lin Nan's eyes were glowing.
"He's saying that even if we cannot find the key artifact, we have the potential to hold off the anomalies outside the Ninth District!"
Su Qi nodded.
Actually, he had another thought unspoken in his heart.
Because it was too shocking for the mundane.
There are still three months left.
As long as he can advance to Destruction-level, perhaps everything will be easily solved!
If Su Qi could rival Destruction-level at Apostle Level, what heights would he reach if he truly ascended to Destruction-level?
Moreover, three months represent at least three more opportunities to use the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal to advance.
The strongest Ability of the Apocalypse pathway.
Even with bad luck, it should reveal one, right?
If they knew Su Qi held this notion, they'd probably burst out laughing on the spot, the likelihood of advancing to Destruction-level within three months is less hopeful than expecting world convergence to stop on its own.
Because.
Historically, there's been no one known to have ascended to Destruction-level within less than a year.
Even that Supreme Saint Master who reached Overlord Level overnight, such an unparalleled Demon, paused at the Apostle Level Realm for several years!
