Chapter 1678: Chapter 1716: The Sages’ Rewards

Jiang Fan ignored their gazes and said:

"I have so many close friends and a well-preserved Central Earth Army."

"If the battle continues, even if you win, it will be a pyrrhic victory."

"For the sake of your Giant Clan, and for the sake of your daughter, withdraw your troops."

Although he knew hope was slim, he still had to try.

The Six Sun Giant Emperor coldly stared at Jiang Fan:

"Ceasefire? Impossible!"

"Even if it costs us our last Giant, I will see Central Earth destroyed!"

"As for my daughter, she will understand me."

In the mirror, Princess Zi Jiang bore a calm expression, having long accepted her fate.

She spoke calmly, "Father, our crushing defeat in this battle is largely due to underestimating Jiang Fan’s threat."

"Please do not repeat the same mistake."

"When reinforcements arrive, be sure to gather all your strength to eliminate Jiang Fan first, or it will lead to unforeseen changes."

Her speech was swift, trying to finish before Jiang Fan could stop her.

To her slight surprise, Jiang Fan did not interrupt.

Instead, he allowed her to finish.

This left her with a foreboding feeling—was Jiang Fan unafraid of death, or did he have another plan?

Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken.

The Six Sun Giant Emperor looked at Princess Zi Jiang, a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

His massive head nodded slightly, "I know."

"I will kill him first to avenge you."

Princess Zi Jiang showed a look of sadness and said, "Take care, Father."

"Please ensure our clan crushes Central Earth; I will congratulate you from the underworld."

Jiang Fan quietly waited for them to finish speaking, then put away the Domain Mirror.

He sighed deeply, "Very well."

"Since you in the Southern Heavenly Realm are going all in, let’s hope you don’t regret it."

The negotiations had broken down.

The Giant Emperor and the Ten Sins of Central Earth stood guard at the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, waiting for the army to arrive.

The Central Earth forces retreated to a distance to recuperate and prepare for the final battle.

"Jiang Fan, what’s the situation now?"

The Great Wine Sacrifice and several sages gathered around.

Jiang Fan roughly explained the situation.

The aged face of the Great Wine Sacrifice showed signs of gravity, "Seeing you, I guessed you had fallen into the black river."

"However, you should not have wished to return to Central Earth."

"Going to another battlefield, with your might, you might have a chance to help that world end the war within six hours."

"But Central Earth... I’m afraid there’s no hope."

"The other five Central Armies, each one more formidable than the last, especially the first army."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly, "I understand."

"An army meant to deal with the Heavenly State could hardly be weak."

Someone once said, the strength of the Heavenly State equals the combined strength of the other eight states.

The Ancient Giants, eager to conquer the Heavenly State, mustered a force stronger than the Heavenly State.

So, they would later face an unprecedentedly strong ally!

Jiang Fan said, "We only need to hold out for six hours until the Primeval Hunt ends, at which point, the battle will cease with Green Pearl’s survival till the end."

"Of course..." Jiang Fan looked at the might of the various realms and said, "If we can defeat the Giants and end the war early, that would be good too."

This group, despite having hostility towards him, some even having murderous intents.

But they too fought for their own worlds, and Jiang Fan held no grudge against them.

If winning this battle allowed them to return to the Primeval Hunt, they could also end their world’s wars.

The Great Wine Sacrifice pondered, "Let’s hope the Giants’ reinforcements can’t arrive within six hours."

"Central Earth has already made many sacrifices."

Wan Yun Sage mused, "No need to worry too much; from the Heavenly State to here takes half a day."

"Since the Six Sun Giant Emperor gave the order, three hours have already passed."

"With only three hours left, the Giant reinforcements might not arrive in time."

Jiang Fan, hearing this, was slightly invigorated.

If the reinforcements couldn’t arrive, and Central Earth was in a victorious state, would the Primeval Hunt deem them as winners?

At that moment, they would all be transported back.

So, it depended on the Giants’ speed.

If they had to cross the Heavenly Realm, they couldn’t possibly make it in time.

Hearing this, the experts from various realms breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yitian said, "That scared me! If another army came, how could we win?"

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Dear friends, we mustn’t let our guard down."

"Please adjust yourselves properly, just in case."

Jiang Yitian angrily said, "Who the hell is your friend..."

Smack!

Just as the words fell, a civilized iron palm descended from the sky, knocking him to the ground.

The White Tiger retracted its claw and snorted from its nostrils.

Jiang Yitian spat a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth, saying, "You damn... we’ll see, Starfire Venerable!"

The others dispersed, each finding a place to adjust themselves.

Jiang Fan smiled as he looked at the sages and said, "Honored seniors, do you have any other questions?"

He too wanted to rest a bit and prepare for the potential Giant reinforcements.

Wan Yun Sage looked at the two hundred and sixty feet of light beam behind Jiang Fan, then at other beams with amazement:

"You could claim first place amidst so many supreme beings."

"I really don’t know how you’ve done it."

Tianluo Sage, the Red-faced Sage, and the Compassionate Sage also showed expressions of astonishment.

They had seen the combat prowess of Young Master Xiang and others.

All were top-level existences among the Heavenly Human Five Declines, especially Young Master Xiang.

They vaguely realized he should be a sage’s incarnation.

Yet, Jiang Fan managed to surpass him.

This left them baffled.

The Great Wine Sacrifice, while observing the beam, couldn’t suppress his excitement:

"You always surprise us, the Great Wine Sacrifice."

"Do you know why we chose you for the Primeval Hunt instead of the Young Emperor?"

Jiang Fan thought for a moment, then nodded, "I know."

"Because your only expectation for this Primeval Hunt’s participants was survival."

"The Young Emperor, though strong, might not secure first place."

As for the Young Emperor’s strength, his achievements would certainly not be weak.

However, securing first place was not guaranteed.

This time, there were too many prodigies participating.

Putting aside the invincible Young Master Xiang, Liu Bianhuang, Yun Wanxiao, and the Heavenly Sword were all on par with him.

Securing first place was challenging.

Moreover, he might even engage in fierce battles with others due to his domineering nature and face demise.

The Great Wine Sacrifice nodded, "Exactly."

"Your experiences from both trips to the Heavenly Realm have proven you far surpass others in adaptability."

"If you can’t survive the Primeval Hunt till the end, it would be even harder for others."

"Yet, we never expected you to surpass them and claim first place!"

"Once this battle is over, we must reward you heavily."

"Whatever’s within Central Earth, it’s yours!"

Jiang Fan’s face lit up with joy.

He had already decided what to ask from these sages.

It was, the Power of Laws!

If he could gather the Power of Laws from a dozen sages, it would be enough to light the Yellow Gourd!

With that, when facing a sage, he would have a life-saving ace!

However, the precondition was returning with the first-place achievement.
