Chapter 1980: The Secret Operation

The Heavenly Sea God asked in a solemn voice, “Do you know how the Heavenly Human Tribe came to be?”

An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this question before replying, “There are eggs of different colors suspended from a certain divine tree, and those from the Heavenly Human Tribe are hatched from those eggs.”

​ 

The Heavenly Sea God was quite surprised. “You know about that?!”

An Lin chuckled. He had been to that special place and even met the Heavenly Life Goddess, so how could he not know these things?

“So you do know some things after all,” the Heavenly Sea God mused.

“Hey, I’m not retarded!” An Lin snapped.

“Have you already been to the Heavenly Human Holy Land?” the Heavenly Sea God asked.

An Lin replied, “If you’re referring to that place with iridescent light in the sky, vital energy flowing like rivers, mountains so tall that they have no peak in sight, and many divine trees hundreds of thousands of feet tall with pink leaves growing on them, then yes, I’ve been to that place.”

“That’s exactly the place I’m talking about! That’s where the Heavenly Human Tribe is being bred!” the Heavenly Sea God confirmed excitedly.

“So why are you telling me about this?” An Lin asked.

“Do you know how many Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers there are currently?” the Heavenly Sea God asked.

An Lin thought about this for a moment before replying, “With all the soldiers from the three Heavenly Gates combined, there should be about a hundred million.”

The Heavenly Sea God nodded. “There are ten times as many eggs that have yet to hatch in the Heavenly Human Holy Land!”

An Lin’s heart jolted with shock upon hearing this.

That many?!

He was starting to get an idea of what the Heavenly Sea God was trying to tell him.

“The Heavenly Human Tribe has a very short growth cycle. From the moment they hatch, they only require about a year of growth before they’re ready for battle. Imagine what would happen if all of those eggs were to hatch at once,” the Heavenly Sea God continued.

An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath.

A Heavenly Human Tribe army with over a billion soldiers?

A hundred million Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers already formed an extremely terrifying army. If this overwhelming force was to be multiplied ten times… An Lin shuddered to consider the events that would follow.

“C… can they all hatch?” An Lin asked in a trembling voice.

The Heavenly Sea God replied, “Of course they can. Why else do you think the Heavenly Gods refrained from launching a large-scale attack in the past? Avoiding backlash from the Heavenly Dao is only one reason for that. The main reason is actually that they do not want to waste too much energy and are trying to use the Heavenly Human Tribe to grind down the living beings on the Tai Chu Continent. After all, all of the life essence in the entire Realm of Stars is being used to create the Heavenly Human Tribe, thereby resulting in a short growth cycle, high quality, and infinite numbers…”

“A billion is only the number we’re currently looking at. A hundred years from now, even an army of ten billion could very easily become a reality!”

An Lin swallowed. “So, is this news you’re referring to related to destroying this Heavenly Human Holy Land?”

“No, you do not have the power to destroy the Heavenly Human Holy Land yet. In reality, there is not enough time for them to continue to create more soldiers. Nuwa’s mending of the heavens has reached the third stage, and not only are we finding it difficult to access the Tai Chu Continent, but the same thing also applies to the Heavenly Human Tribe.

“Thus, the paramount Heavenly Gods have transferred all one billion of those Heavenly Human Tribe eggs to the Tai Chu Continent in an attempt to hatch them all at once, then quickly mature them in order to create a Heavenly Human Tribe army of a billion within a month!

“Light and Earth have just informed me of this plan.”

An Lin’s eyes lit up. “So you know where the eggs are? You want me to go and destroy those eggs, right? Where are they? They must have some powerful guardians defending them…”

The Heavenly Sea God replied, “Well, the eggs are actually here with me…”

An Lin: “…”

“They want to make my Western Heavenly Gate the breeding grounds of the Heavenly Human Tribe army. After successfully nurturing them, the billion-strong Heavenly Human Tribe army will sweep through the entire Tai Chu Continent, all the way to the east!” the Heavenly Sea God continued.

An Lin’s lips twitched.

Were these paramount Heavenly Gods blind? How could they entrust the Heavenly Sea God with something so important? This was like entrusting cattle to a feral lion!

“If the billion-strong Heavenly Human Tribe army can be bent to my will, then this wouldn’t be a problem. However, I haven’t participated in the breeding of the Heavenly Human Tribe in the past, and my ability to control them is far inferior to that of Life and Light. If a conflict ensues, they won’t listen to my commands, so they must be eradicated!” the Heavenly Sea God said in a serious voice.

An Lin chuckled at the absurdity of the situation.

The Heavenly Sea God had only just received news of this, and he was already hatching a secret plan with An Lin to get rid of these one billion eggs! The two paramount Heavenly Gods would probably tear their hair out with rage if they learned about this!

This was the most terrifying hidden force available to the Heavenly Human Tribe, and it had to be eradicated before it had a chance to appear on the battlefield. Otherwise, even if An Lin and the Heavenly Sea God managed to succeed in killing the other paramount Heavenly Gods, the Heavenly Human Tribe army would still inflict an unimaginable number of casualties upon the human race.

“The only difficult part about all this is manufacturing a situation for you to somehow discover and destroy these eggs… This process must make logical sense and appear quite natural. Otherwise, Light and Earth will become suspicious,” the Heavenly Sea God mused.

Hmm, that was indeed quite difficult.

“Where are the eggs located?” An Lin asked.

“They are situated on a massive island with extremely rich vital energy about ten thousand kilometers away from the Western Heavenly Gate, in the northeastern direction. I set up a formation imbued with the paramount power of the sea to protect them,” the Heavenly Sea God replied.

An Lin almost threw up a mouthful of blood upon hearing this. “Why the f*ck did you set up such a powerful formation? Are you proud of yourself? Can’t you lower the level of difficulty a little?”

“These eggs are extremely important; how can I lower the difficulty? It would be very suspicious if I were to set up a lackluster formation to defend such important eggs…”

An Lin: “…”

So he wanted them to destroy the eggs, but at the same time, he was going to make it as difficult as possible for them to destroy those eggs…

What a diabolical task!

An Lin’s brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

After a short while, his eyes suddenly lit up. “I’ve got a plan!”

“You devised a plan so quickly?” The Heavenly Sea God was racking his brain, all to no avail, so he was a little surprised to hear An Lin devise a course of action so quickly.

“Is this a legit plan? I don’t want to blow my cover this early.” The Heavenly Sea God was still a little skeptical.

An Lin: “Let me finish first!”

The Heavenly Sea God nodded. “Alright.”

An Lin: “So on so forth, so on so forth!”

The Heavenly Sea God’s eyes also began to light up before a conflicted expression appeared on his face. “That… doesn’t seem right…”

“Only through investment can rewards be reaped!” An Lin encouraged.

“Yes, that is indeed the case, but you’re using my resources as an investment…” The Heavenly Sea God was a little dejected.

“Are you not willing to sacrifice so little for our grand scheme and your dreams?” An Lin urged vehemently.

The Heavenly Sea God took a deep breath to muster up his resolve. “Alright, let’s do it!”
