Chapter 373 - Dark Tide

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Zhu Zao was also worried about the power of the Genesis Rune, he was more worried about President Zhou’s safety!

How many times had President Zhou fought in the frontlines? How could such a person attack humans?

He could not agree to it. Not only him, but all the soldiers in the thirteenth spatial rift, the twelfth spatial rift, and the seventh spatial rift would also not agree!

President Zhou, who was fighting for them, was about to be targeted by the higher-ups and even arrested and eliminated. No one would accept such a thing!

“Heavenly King Zhu, have you forgotten the common agreement? This is not something that only concerns our human race. There are also the foreign races. Do you think the foreign races will agree to us nurturing Genesis Rune warriors?!”

Not far from Heavenly King Zhu, the representative of another division spoke directly with a hint of blame!

They were aware that President Zhou was extraordinary, but everyone present also knew about the secret that had been hidden. Naturally, they did not want something like that to happen again!

“However, I still believe that President Zhou is definitely not that kind of person. Moreover, we only have the documents stating that the expert who cultivated the Genesis Rune back then wanted to destroy the world, but that might not have anything to do with the Genesis Rune. It could have been his own intentions!”

“We can’t solely make our decision based on what happened back then and treat everyone who cultivates Genesis Runes as villains!”

Zhu Zao still could not help but speak up. He was very grateful to Zhou Hao. Without Zhou Hao, many crises would not have been resolved. Not to mention the seventh spatial rift this time, even the crisis of twelfth and thirteenth was the same!

He was not going to kick Zhou Hao to the curb simply because he had outlived his usefulness.

Moreover, Zhu Zao felt that there was something wrong with jumping to conclusions without understanding anything!

“Heavenly King Zhu, you’re being a little extreme in this matter. Our intention is only to capture President Zhou. If there’s no problem, we naturally won’t hurt him. However, at present, this is not something that we humans can confirm. After the foreign races learned of this news, they will also want to negotiate with our higher-ups.”

“After all, that previous mighty figure has almost destroyed 70% of the foreign races’ citizens. The foreign races are very afraid that history will repeat itself!”

“What we need to do now is to find President Zhou. We can discuss the rest later. How about that?”

The representatives of the various divisions also had this thought. The leader of the divisions also nodded.

“Since that’s the case, let’s vote and decide if we should arrest him or not.”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone.

Other than Zhu Zao, everyone raised their hands. Their meaning was obvious. They all wanted to arrest Zhou Hao!

Zhu Zao’s expression was very ugly. He represented the Green Cloud Division. Most of their Green Cloud Division were experts who resisted the spatial rift. Others might not know, but he knew that President Zhou would fight to the death with them. But now, he was actually unable to even protect President Zhou’s safety. He was furious!

“Hmph!”

Zhu Zao’s expression was very ugly. He slammed the table and left.

As soon as he walked out, Bai Zhenhai hurriedly welcomed him.

“Senior Zhu, how did it go?” Bai Zhenhai was also very anxious.

However, Zhu Zao’s expression was incomparably ugly, making Bai Zhenhai understand immediately!

“What? They still want to arrest President Zhou? But he… he didn’t do anything wrong to the human race!” Bai Zhenhai was very indignant. If not for President Zhou, the seventh spatial rift would have definitely been occupied. Even he, Bai Zhenhai, might not have survived!

However, at this moment, President Zhou, who had saved the seventh spatial rift, was actually wanted. Bai Zhenhai was also very sad.

“Hmph, a bunch of pedantic people. I really can’t get them to understand!”

Zhu Zao was furious, but what could he do? Now that the showdown had ended, there was nothing he could do no matter how indignant he was!

“Zhenhai, we have to find President Zhou first. As long as we find him, everything will be fine. He has helped us so much. We definitely can’t hand him over to the higher-ups!”

When Bai Zhenhai heard this, he was stunned. “But… won’t we be disobeying their order by doing this?”

“Of course I know we will be disobeying orders, but… if President Zhou is handed over to the higher-ups, there are only two choices. Either he will be imprisoned for life or his dantian will be destroyed. Other than that, I don’t know how the higher-ups will deal with President Zhou!” Zhu Zao said with an ugly expression.

“No way… President Zhou didn’t do anything to harm the humans. Why would the higher-ups…” Bai Zhenhai drew a cold breath. He originally thought that even if he captured President Zhou, they would only arrest him to understand the situation.

The worst that could happen was to strip and seal the power of the Genesis Rune. That was all!

However, he did not expect such a situation!

“Hmph, do you think humans are united? I can tell you that someone has already targeted President Zhou!”

After saying this, Zhu Zao did not say anything and directly left the first spatial rift.

Bai Zhenhai followed behind, feeling shocked and unable to calm down for a long time!

Zhou Hao did not know about this. He changed into other equipment and secretly arrived at the twelfth spatial rift!

The Thousand Feather Armor needed to be repaired, and there was only one place that could repair it!

He needed the Essence Energy Ancestral Stones!

Zhou Hao did not look for the Iron Bone Bear King this time and secretly slipped in.

On the way, Zhou Hao asked Little Yu.

“I can bring you to a place with sufficient essence energy, but do you have a way to repair yourself?”

The Essence Energy Ancestral Stone mine was inside the spatial rift. With Zhou Hao’s ability, he couldn’t enter and couldn’t withstand the pressure!

“Master, if you can find such a place, I can recover by myself.”

Zhou Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Soon, they arrived. Zhou Hao looked at the chaotic spatial aura here and did not continue forward. Instead, he took out the Thousand Feather Armor.

“It’s right in front. See if there’s any way. If not, we’ll discuss it at length.”

Zhou Hao said directly. After all, he had spent countless Heaven Dao coins and more than 100 million luck points to obtain this Thousand Feather Armor. If it got stuck in the spatial rift, wouldn’t he lose a lot?

However, what shocked Zhou Hao was that after the Thousand Feather Armor saw the Essence Energy Ancestral Stone mine, it directly entered with a whoosh. That speed was so fast that even Zhou Hao was shocked!

Moreover, its resistance to pressure was also extremely strong. Despite being torn by so many spatial rifts, it was still not injured at all!

It clearly looked like scrap metal, but it was actually so powerful. This made Zhou Hao extremely excited!

“It’s clearly still in a ruined state. If it recovers, won’t it be even more powerful? Moreover, it’s only one-eighth of its original state.. If it completely recovers… the ability of this Thousand Feather Armor… is unbelievable!”
