Chapter 1363 Game Over For Everyone
“In other words, the Divine Realm elders of the Blackwood family…” Sirius muttered to himself as he fell to the ground with a thud.
Such an outcome was completely unacceptable to him.
For nearly a thousand years, the lifeblood of Chanaea had been held in the hands of numerous families and secret sects.
Initially, the Blackwood family was merely a second-class family of cultivators.
However, thanks to the unite and collaborate strategies adopted by the Blackwood family’s ancestors, they paid homage to the sect, arranged marriages, and seized resources. Step by step, they expanded outward from the base of Dyadgon Mountain.
Only after a thousand years of operation did they truly become the family standing at the pinnacle of Chanaea.
Due to the existence of their Divine Realm cultivators, everyone in the eight respectable families claimed to have undying legacies.
As one of the respectable families, the Blackwood family had even taken the lead in predicting the accelerating collapse of the world’s spiritual roots and had already begun to arrange their transition toward becoming a technological family.
Who could have imagined that the Enlighteners would strike without warning and trample the pride of all Eight Great Families completely?
They desired to annihilate the Divine Realm cultivators of the Eight Great Families, but as cultivators, how many of them could sit there, waiting to be slaughtered?
It was conceivable that the cultivators from the eight ancestral grounds would undoubtedly use every means to retaliate against the members of the Enlighteners.
However, when faced with Cavoid Realm cultivators, the consequence of resistance was death.
This was a war with no chance of victory.
The Blackwood family is done for… The eight respectable families, the fifteen sects… The foundation of Chanaea’s cultivators is doomed! And the reason for all this turned out to be the extermination of the Whitley family!
A glint of madness flashed through Sirius’s dull gaze, and he suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
“We have exterminated ourselves! We, the eight respectable families, have destroyed our way out with our own hands! We are the ones who annihilated the Whitley family! The Blackwood family, the Henderson family, the Leeson family, the Mallory family, the Welsh family, the Gray family, the Osborne family, the Salladay family… And also… the Fantasy Sword Sect, Guardian Spirit Sect, Blazing Sun Sect, Heavenly Summit Sect, Warrior Spirit Sect, Star Valley Sect… Years ago, we joined forces and personally ended the Whitley family’s lineage. And now, without the deterrence of the Whitley family, the Enlighteners will annihilate our eight families and the heritage of many secret sects… This is our divine retribution!” Sirius bellowed as he lay on the ground.
A deep frown creased Jonathan’s brow when he saw Sirius in that state.
Although the recent purge operation of the Enlighteners could not possibly include Asura’s Office, he could still feel Sirius’ pain.
Turning his head toward Alec, Jonathan gave him a slight bow.
“Mr. Chevez, since you have extensive knowledge about the Enlighteners, you must have prepared in advance, right? I wonder how you’re going to handle this purging operation!”
Upon hearing Jonathan’s words, Alec shook his head slightly.
“I don’t have a plan to tackle it. Even though I knew the Enlighteners would surely curb the development of many forces, I didn’t expect them to take action so quickly.”
Alec could not help but let out a heavy sigh when he saw Sirius lying on the ground in utter despair.
“An organization like Sanctuary will get additional special treatment from them in comparison to these respected families of yours in Chanaea. It’s quite possible that by the time we leave, the entire Sanctuary will have been destroyed.”
Upon hearing Alec’s words, a hint of doubt flashed through Jonathan’s mind.
“Alec, there’s something I still don’t understand.”
Alec looked at Jonathan with a smile. “What is it? Tell me.”
The latter hummed thoughtfully before he slowly began to speak.
“If the Enlighteners possess the power to forcibly wipe out all the cultivators in the world, why don’t they annihilate the cultivators from all major forces? Perhaps the number is a bit too large, but you should be able to understand what I mean. As long as they can eliminate the cultivators from all major forces above Grandmaster Realm, then at least for the next three hundred years, there will be no power in the world that can contend with the Enlighteners. Wouldn’t that be a once and for all solution?”
In response to Jonathan’s question, Alec shook his head with a sneer.
“It seems I’ve set my expectations for you a little too high.”
His words filled Jonathan’s gaze with confusion.
Before this, we’ve never had any entanglements. Yet, he claimed to have expectations of me. What on earth does that mean?
In a swift motion, Alec pulled out an ancient book with a green cover and tossed it to Jonathan.
The latter looked down and saw the words “The Book of Military Tactics” written in cursive on the cover.
Alek looked at Jonathan and said with a chuckle, “Your Chanaean things are considered treasures by us, yet you never delve into them. As the founder of Asura’s Office, you’ve experienced numerous battles of varied scales. So, let me ask you. When you fight in a large army, will you surround your enemy completely?”
After careful consideration, Jonathan finally fully comprehended his words.
“Indeed, when deploying troops, no matter how great the advantage, one must always leave one opening. If you don’t provide your opponent a way out, they’ll be driven to desperation, and the casualties will be extremely high. If the Enlighteners were to eradicate the legacies of every faction, even those who are not their match would fight back desperately. Although they might not be able to shake the foundation of the Enlighteners, they would still inflict serious damage.”
Alec gave a slight nod after hearing Jonathan’s words.
“You’re not exactly stupid, but you’ve overlooked something. You put yourself in somebody else’s shoes too much, Jonathan. Think carefully. Do you truly not have any means to deal with the Enlighteners?”
Alec’s words caused a flicker of surprise to cross Jonathan’s face.
Meanwhile, lying despondently on the ground, Sirius slowly began to speak, his voice choked with emotion.
“Special missiles… Your special missiles can erase any country, faction, or sect on the planet…”
Jonathan’s expression turned incredibly solemn when he heard that.
“There’s no way my Asura’s Office would make the first move…”
Before Jonathan could finish speaking, Alec coldly interjected beside him, “Not everyone shares the same beliefs as you folks from Asura’s Office! I can assure you that if the Enlighteners dare to purge Remdik, the tsar will undoubtedly retaliate with special missiles. No matter how many Cavoid Realm cultivators the Enlighteners have, how many of them can they save under the power of special missiles?”
At this point, Jonathan was completely dumbfounded.
The manufacturing principle of special missiles was quite simple and had long ceased to be a secret worldwide.
It had simply not been adequately marketed because of maintenance and a series of great nation treaties. Currently, only nine countries in the entire world possess it.
Although nine might seem extremely small compared to the total of nearly three hundred countries, the special missiles possessed by these nine countries were enough to bring the entire world to its end.
To prevent such situations from occurring, the use of special missiles was bound by a contract.
When special missiles were detonated within one’s own country, everyone else would enjoy the show.
However, once it crossed the border, it was game over for everyone!
