Chapter 5690: Deities, Please Save Him
Conflicting views emerged even among The People regarding whether Momentous Frontier should offer assistance.
They waited for a response yet none came from the deities. Meanwhile, Celestial Court waited patiently after hearing War’s declaration.
It seemed willing to accept the frontier’s neutrality. Of course, this required them to hand over Luminous Conqueror and West Bank Prime Emperor.
Willingness aside, Celestial Court also feared the unbreakable momentum that had been strengthened over eras inside Momentous Frontier. Taking it down was far from easy.
Moreover, it had an immortal weapon personally refined by Li Qiye. It had been embedded into the land and became the new foundation. nove(l)bi(n.)com
War and his peers understood the power of the weapon. If Momentous Frontier were to face them in battle, there was a chance they would lose everything, unable to accomplish their initial goal.
They had no confidence in actually stopping the weapon once empowered by the land. The price paid to suppress the weapon might include many of their lives.
“Deities, take your time, we will wait for a response. Just know that we will always respect your neutral stance.” War bowed slightly in the direction of Momentous Frontier.
Unfortunately, he was in no position to help anyone right now, hence more spewing of blood. This attempt might end with him dying before being able to light Luminous true fate.
“Ugh...” He vomited blood again, realizing the futility of his action.
“Deities, please save Brother Luminous.” He had no choice but to seek help.
Alas, no response came - this was clearly a difficult decision for the deities.
“Don’t let him die like this, not after all he had done for The People.” West Bank begged for Luminous, not himself.
At the very least, he could persevere and survive. Luminous, on the other hand, needed external help.
“We dare not ask for your help against Celestial Court’s armies for that would mean war.” West Bank continued: “Just prolong Brother Luminous’ life, he doesn’t deserve to die like this, he is the pillar of The People.”
West Bank had never asked anyone for help, not even during the most perilous moment on the battlefield. In fact, most apex cultivators were like this. Their prestige and pride were priceless.
Alas, he threw his pride away for Luminous’ sake, not wanting to see his true fate extinguished.
“Deities, Momentous Frontier can still maintain neutrality after saving Brother Luminous.” West Bank Prime Emperor gritted his teeth and made up his mind: “Please prolong his life and I will surrender to Celestial Court, that is all I ask.”
What more could one ask for in a friend? Moreover, the emperor had also lost enough for The People. His clan was wiped out entirely while he had incurable injuries.
