Spirit Pagoda!
The returning Di Tian immediately sought out Gu Yuena...
He began, "My lord, your suspicions were indeed correct. Tang Sect has been extremely cautious in its attitude towards the Spirit Pagoda, refusing to offer us assistance!"
Gu Yuena responded indifferently, "Di Tian, you didn't have any conflict with the people of Tang Sect, did you?"
Di Tian stated emphatically, "I did not. Even though I was refused, I expressed no dissatisfaction!"
Gu Yuena couldn't help but sigh, "No matter, since Tang Sect is unwilling to help us, we should not offend them. Let us think of another way!"
Upon hearing those words, Di Tian reminded her again, "But my lord, besides the Super Condensed Soul Guidance Defensive Array System, there seems to be nothing that can withstand the bombardment of God-killing soul-guided missiles!"
"Even if we start researching a defense system now, I'm afraid it would be too late."
Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged, "Mhm, I am aware of that!"
But even she herself didn't have a plan that she could propose at that moment!
After hearing this, Di Tian still decided to speak his mind...
"My lord, actually I do have a method!"
Then, he walked over to Gu Yuena, leaned in, and whispered a few words...
Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, "Doing this could indeed make the federation hesitant to deploy the God-killing soul-guided missiles rashly!"
"But there is a significant drawback; it would disperse the Spirit Pagoda's forces."
Di Tian was well aware of this point and thus had no choice but to give up...
Meanwhile, Bi Ji walked in with the rest of the ferocious beasts...
Upon their arrival, Gu Yuena casually asked, "Bi Ji, you're here. How is the situation?"
Bi Ji answered, "My lord, nearly half of the Spirit Pagoda Members have entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, and their control has been strengthened!!"
"It is likely that we won't see any situation out of control for a short period!"
"As for the other half, it will probably take two days!!"
Gu Yuena nodded in understanding, "Two days, that's about what I expected!"
Seeing this, Bi Ji changed the subject, "My lord, were you just discussing with Di Tian how to resist the God-killing soul-guided missile?"
Gu Yuena didn't deny it, "Indeed, the federation is secretly manufacturing the fourth God-killing soul-guided missile; we must think of a way to cope before its completion!"
"Otherwise, even with many high-grade defensive soul guidance devices, we will be unable to hold it off!"
Seeing the former's headache, Bi Ji hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord, blocking a God-killing soul-guided missile is not impossible!"
Not only Gu Yuena, but also Di Tian and the ferocious beasts were taken aback, "Bi Ji?"
Even the lord had not thought of a solution, yet she claimed to have one!
Bi Ji immediately explained, "It is said that when Shrek Academy was attacked by two God-killing soul-guided missiles, they did not perish because a man named Yun Ming burned all his essence blood, forcibly breaking through to the True God Realm, and ultimately resisted it!!"
Gu Yuena seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "Bi Ji, are you suggesting that...??"
Determination shone in Bi Ji's eyes, "The bodies of soul beasts are much stronger than humans. If humans can do it, so can soul beasts!"
"Di Tian and I could burn our bloodlines to increase our strength. Together, we should be able to block a God-killing soul-guided missile or at least weaken most of its power!"
For the revival of the Soul Beast Clan, she was ready to make the ultimate sacrifice!!
Di Tian said in a daze, "Bi Ji..."
He had never expected Bi Ji to propose such a plan!
Golden pupils flickered a few times before chiming in, "If this is the only way, I also..."
However, Gu Yuena rebuked angrily, "Foolish, I do not wish to hear those words a second time!!"
But Bi Ji did not back down, insisting again, "My lord, this is the only way to withstand the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles, and besides, as long as you are here, I believe we can definitely revive the Soul Beast Clan."
In the entire Spirit Pagoda, whether it be ourselves, Di Tian, or the ferocious beasts present, anyone could be sacrificed, but not the former!!
Gu Yuena suppressed her anger, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible, "Bi Ji, have you considered that if both you and Di Tian die at the hands of the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, the overall combat power of the Spirit Tower will be greatly diminished!!"
"In the case of insufficient high-end combat power, battling the federation will put us at an absolute disadvantage!"
"Moreover, with War God Hall and various other powers watching from the sidelines, if the federation gains the upper hand, you know what the consequences will be, right??"
Bi Ji clenched her teeth, "But..."
Gu Yuena decisively interrupted, "No buts, even if we can't find a way to withstand the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, I absolutely won't allow you and Di Tian to sacrifice yourselves to block it!"
"Of course, the same goes for the other ferocious beasts!!"
After hearing these words, the expressions on the ferocious beasts' faces became complex...
Because their hearts were filled with a strong feeling of warmth...
…
Federation!
In an underground research laboratory!
The Chairman looked at the researcher before him, his expression grave, "It's been some time since the rare resources were extracted, how is the development of the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile going?"
The researcher's face was somewhat embarrassed, but he still mustered his courage to answer, "Chairman, the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile is still in the preliminary stages!"
Upon hearing this, the Chairman's face turned even uglier as he demanded, "Why is it so slow?"
The federation did not have much time left, and, moreover, the Spirit Pagoda might already be aware of this plan...
If we don't produce the fourth God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile soon, the situation will increasingly turn against us!
The researcher swallowed hard before replying, "Chairman, we also want to be fast, but these rare resources from the abyssal plane need to be analyzed one by one for their characteristics, which takes a lot of time!"
To ensure the success rate of the fourth God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, they had to be extremely cautious!
Any slight disappointment could cause the entire plan to fail!!
The Chairman patted his shoulder, saying word for word, "I know all of you researchers work hard and need to race against time, but there isn't much left!"
"I'm giving you ten more days to push the research to the next stage!!"
The researcher felt even more pressure on his shoulders and nodded, "Yes... Chairman, we will try our best..."
But the Chairman suddenly interrupted, "I don't want to hear 'try our best,' but rather 'definitely will'!!"
With no other choice, the researcher changed his earlier tone, announcing loudly, "Yes... Chairman, we will definitely advance to the next stage within ten days!"
What kind of situation is this!!
In the end, all the pressure was dumped on them, the researchers!!
