Now that the decision was made, Gu Xing no longer hesitated.

He waved his hand lightly!

Spiritual Power surged from his body, gently lifting the people kneeling on the ground.

This seemingly effortless scene stirred great waves in the hearts of the miners present!

To lift dozens of people at once merely with one's mind—what a divine skill this was!

They already regarded Gu Xing as a god; at this moment, their faith was unwavering...

He must be the Divine Envoy sent from heaven to save them!

Sent by heaven to rescue them!

"Divine Envoy, please... please save the Human Race!"

Saying this, the crowd was about to kneel again.

"Wait!"

Gu Xing's voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone's ears:

"I can help you, but from this moment on, no one is allowed to kneel again!"

The crowd was stunned by his words.

Several quick-thinking miners hurriedly pulled up their dazed companions, whose bodies were already half-crouched, and whispered urgently:

"Get up quickly! The Divine Envoy doesn't like us kneeling!"

"Yes, yes! Don't anger the Divine Envoy!"

"Thank you, Divine Envoy! Thank you for your grace!"

Perhaps it was the first time feeling hope, the scene immediately became chaotic.

Crying and voices of gratitude intertwined.

Gu Xing hovered quietly in mid-air, not stopping them with words.

He understood these emotions; for people who had long lived in a pit of despair, seeing a glimmer of hope was perfectly normal.

After a while, the crowd gradually calmed down.

The oldest miner stepped forward unsteadily.

He bowed deeply to Gu Xing with utmost respect, then cautiously lifted his head.

He tentatively asked:

"Divine Envoy... what... what should we do next?"

As he said this, his gaze was entirely fixed on Gu Xing.

Clearly placing all his hopes on Gu Xing.

After all, to contend with the Demon Race, only this distinguished figure could take action.

Ordinary people like them could not help at all.

Gu Xing didn't answer immediately but instead spread his Spiritual Power, carefully perceiving the situation in the entire mine.

After a moment, he furrowed his brows slightly.

Within his range of Spiritual Power, he discovered two Totem Tier One demons.

It must be noted that even in the Demon Abyss, Totem Level is considered a powerful entity.

But now, two Totem-level strong figures were actually assigned to guard the mine here.

That means that even in the Demon Abyss, such Demon Stone mines are not numerous.

Otherwise, the Demon Race wouldn't have dispatched such powerful figures to guard them.

Besides the two Totem-level demons, there were over a dozen King Level demons.

As for the demons below the rank of Monarch, Gu Xing didn't care.

Demons below the rank of Monarch could not pose any threat to him.

But now there's a somewhat troublesome point.

That's the intertwining presence of demons and miners.

If he were to directly attack the demons, miner casualties would certainly be unavoidable.

Although...

Sally could reverse time and save these humans.

But this unnecessary consumption should definitely be avoided, if possible.

After contemplating for a while, Gu Xing devised a solution.

As long as he could achieve a one-hit kill on the two Totem-level demons!

The remaining demons would be of no concern.

However, it must be a one-hit kill!

Don't give the two demons any time to react.

Otherwise, once Long Qingyan confronts the two Totem-level demons

None of the people in the mine will survive.

As for the remaining King Level demons, he could completely resolve them with his Spiritual Shock.

After all, with the advancement of several Guardian Beasts,

The Spiritual Power he possessed now made him like a human-shaped Spirit Guardian Beast.

Even...

Some Spirit Guardian Beasts with lower Talent had less Spiritual Attribute than him.

After the battle plan was determined, Gu Xing immediately moved into action.

He first recalled Long Qingyan into the Beast Taming Space.

To deliver a fatal strike to the two demons, the first thing is to get close to them.

And Long Qingyan's dragon horns and tail would expose her as soon as she appeared.

Therefore, Gu Xing planned to summon Long Qingyan for a fatal strike the instant he approached the two demons.

Then Gu Xing calmed his mind, scanned the face of the hopeful miners in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"The plan is simple: eliminate all the demon guards in the mine."

"Now, I need someone to lead the way directly to where the two strongest demon leaders are."

With this statement, the previously somewhat uplifted crowd sank into a dead silence.

The air seemed to solidify.

The desperate hope on the miners' faces was immediately replaced by extreme fear.

Many people's faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"Directly... go directly to those two demon lords?!"

"God... isn't that going to certain death?"

"I... I've seen it with my own eyes, one lord got angry and flattened a small mountain with a casual strike!"

"Divine Envoy, maybe... maybe we should try to sneak away? Let's not provoke them..."

Even old Chen, who appeared to be the calmest.

Was now drenched in sweat, lips trembling, unable to speak a single word.

The oppressive influence of the Demon Race had long been established, the kind of fear from deep within the soul had been etched into their bones.

It couldn't be dispelled by momentary encouragement.

Leading the way to the demon lair?

To them, it seemed no different from suicide.

Gu Xing hovered silently, his soul body's face revealing no emotion.

He simply stared silently at these people, whose spines had been bent by fear.

He understood their fear, but this was also an impromptu test.

If they didn't even have the courage to lead the way, how could they ever hope to take up arms in the future for their survival and dignity as a Human Race?

Even if they were rescued, such a group might struggle to truly survive in the harsh world.

As time ticked away, the silence was only broken by the sound of heavy breathing and trembling from fear; no one dared to stand up.

A trace of nearly imperceptible disappointment flitted across Gu Xing's eyes.

He shook his head slightly, choosing not to wait any longer, prepared to turn and leave.

He would still save them.

But that would only extend to getting them out of the mine.

However, just as he was about to turn—

A small, coal-covered hand.

Softly but with extraordinary determination, tugged at the hem of his soul body's garment.

Gu Xing paused, looking down.

He met with a pair of shiny, bright, and unyielding eyes.

It was the young girl he had just saved from the demon's blade.

She looked up with her small face, and even though she was slightly shaking from nervousness, her voice was clear and firm:

"Brother... I... I will take you there!"

"I know where they usually stay!"

Gu Xing was a bit surprised and slowly crouched down to see eye to eye with the young girl.

"Aren't you afraid?"

The young girl swallowed hard, gripping his garment tighter:

"Afraid! But... but you saved Dad, saved everyone!"

"You're a good person! I trust you! Besides... Besides, I never want to see the Demon Race bully us again!"

Gu Xing looked into those courageous eyes, a hint of admiration in his expression.

"What's your name?"

"Little… Little Lizi!"

"Everyone calls me Little Lizi!"
