Chapter 258: Alliance
Chapter 258: Alliance
Although the chatterbox’s words were very straightforward, they made sense. We fought to the death on this planet, but when we leave, we will all identify as residents of the same hometown. Unless there’s a life-and-death feud, what can’t we let go?
Besides, the demons present were all neutral. Although they had not helped humans before, they had not made an enemy out of them either. Now that humans had displayed such powerful strength and proposed an alliance, why would they not accept?
At that moment, ripples appeared in space. Then, Wei Huo appeared in the middle of the crowd.
All the humans and demons had respectful expressions on their faces. Many demons lowered their heads and crawled on the ground, not daring to move. A lot of ordinary people knelt on the ground with moist eyes and complicated feelings.
“The human race has really stepped up!”
“The human race finally has its own Legendary member!”
After a century of suffering and a century of waiting, a century of hope had finally arrived!
Many people started crying. They had been waiting for this moment for too long.
Ma Tengyun was also emotional. Wei Huo’s return had finally revived the whole situation. The human race—no, Earthlings—was finally about to rise!
It was not easy!
Ma Tengyun felt a little tired. After hundreds of years of planning, hundreds of years of preparing, and hundreds of years of waiting, this moment had finally arrived. The world had finally been revived.
After Wei Huo appeared, the surroundings went silent. He waved his hand, and the ground in the center swelled up and kept rising. In the end, a tall platform was formed. The platform was square and shaped like a ladder. Stairs appeared in four directions. Another pillar rose in the center of the platform. The pillar gradually took shape. At the same time, many patterns appeared on the pillar.
The patterns were not meaningless. They depicted the participants of the battle. The interstellar Zergs, the Leviathan, and the Soaring Cloud appeared on the pillars. They were so lifelike that people could recognize them at first glance. At the same time, there were also the figures of the warriors who had resisted against the Zergs, as well as the warriors, ordinary people, and ordinary demons who had been killed by the poisonous fog.
Everyone felt something when they saw the pillar. Their hearts were gradually filled with complicated emotions.
When the pillar was fully formed, Wei Huo said, “The humans and demons formed an alliance today. If anyone objects, you can express yourself.”
No human spoke. Neither did the demons.
Wei Huo pointed at the platform and another pillar stood up. There were patterns on this pillar as well, but there were only humans on it. The word ‘human’ was written at the top.
Wei Huo said, “This is the Alliance Stage. Humans are the first to join this alliance. Who’s next?”
The Legendary Golden Eagle stood up. “The Golden Eagle Race will join the alliance!”
As soon as the Golden Eagle finished its sentence, Wei Huo pointed again. This time, another pillar appeared on the platform. The pillar depicted the Eagle Race. At the same time, the word ‘Eagle’ was written on it.
Now that the Golden Eagle had taken the lead, the other races followed suit and expressed their willingness to join the alliance.
Pillars began to appear on the high platform one after another. A Legendary-level expert observed them carefully and realized that the high platform and pillars were emitting a domain aura. They were also extremely powerful. It would probably take normal Legendary creatures some time to destroy them.
Was this really only the Legendary stage?
That was the question all the Legendary demons wanted to ask. Why were Epic and Legendary humans so powerful? Was what they had said true? Was it because of nine years of compulsory education?
The demons made up their minds. They wanted to use this opportunity to learn the secrets of the human race and imitate them so that they could become stronger.
The setup of the alliance took a few days because demons from other places were also rushing over. When they heard the news, they rushed over immediately. They were all demons who had been neutral or friendly with humans. At that moment, they could not wait to join the alliance.
As for the panda race, the canine race, and the cat race, they naturally sent demons to participate in the alliance. Both the humans and the demons were confused. Where had the Legendary creatures of these three races gone?
Later, the scouts of the various races finally sent back news that the Legendary creatures of these three races had banded together to hunt down the Legendary creatures of the demon race who had once been the humans’ enemies.
Many demons were furious when they heard this news. Many intelligent demons immediately understood everything. This was a huge setup!
This alliance of thousands of races had been planned by the humans for a long time. This situation had been orchestrated by the humans!
The intelligent demons were terrified. Many foolish demons were also terrified when they awakened.
A demon said, “The most terrifying thing about humans is not their strength but their intelligence!”
The alliance continued for a few days until all the famous demons in the Northern Continent rushed over. Pillars were erected on the high platform, each one representing a race. They all had the same height and diameter. However, those who had joined the alliance first were inside and those who joined last were outside.
When all the races were gathered, everyone started discussing the details of the alliance. Wei Huo did not participate in the discussion. He was just standing there with an attitude. The humans definitely had to dominate the alliance.
He discussed this with Ma Tengyun for 15 more minutes. This time, no one knew what they were talking about. However, many people knew that the two of them had discussed it in secret 100 years ago. In the end, humans had risen again 100 years later and formed an alliance with all the races in the Northern Continent. All the races that had once been enemies of the humans had been hunted down. A few Legendary-level demons had become enemies of the humans and had either been destroyed by the Zerg broodmother or were now being chased by the alliance. One of the vultures had been destroyed by Wei Huo.
That’s right. As soon as the alliance was formed, demons volunteered to hunt down those races.
After talking to Wei Huo for 15 minutes, Ma Tengyun walked back and said, “It’s all set.”
No one knew what he meant...
At that moment, some demons started discussing the name of the alliance. An Epic-ranked Mystic Turtle said, “Since this is an alliance between humans and demons, why don’t we call it the Human-Demon[1] Alliance? By putting humans ahead of us, we can express the contribution the humans made to this battle. In the future, the demons will have to be integrated into the human race and learn all sorts of knowledge.”
After that was said, many demons nodded. Only the humans’ faces darkened. One of the humans said, “Er... That’s not a good name...”
The Mystic Turtle Race’s Epic-ranked creature suddenly panicked. It then said, “Please forgive me for my rude behavior. Humans are very intelligent. Everyone knows that. May I ask what’s wrong with the name ‘Human-Demon Alliance’?”
The faces of the few human experts who had participated in the meeting darkened. The Human-Demon Alliance was really not a good name. No one would recognize this name, but it was difficult to explain the reason behind it.
At that moment, the chatterbox suddenly said, “Everyone, there’s nothing wrong with this name. However, people don’t know that the human race has always advocated equality for everyone. Now that we have formed an alliance, all races are naturally equal. Therefore, how can you put the word ‘human’ first? This name is naturally inappropriate.”
When he said this, everyone was impressed. This guy really knew how to speak.
The Mystic Turtle Race’s Epic-ranked creature understood and said in admiration, “Humans are indeed magnanimous. They are really the role models of our race. May I ask what the name of this alliance should be?”
The chatterbox thought about it and said, “Since we’re all living on Earth, why don’t we call it the Earth Alliance? Besides, there’s such a vast world outside this planet. There are so many living creatures. We shouldn’t be limited to this. We should look at the starry sky and conquer that vast sea of stars!”
