Chapter 1201: Battle Zone

“Heat resistance and energy storage,” Xu Fan muttered, stroking his chin as he pondered.

“Craft a batch of alloys and send them to Number One.”

“Understood, Master.”

After handling these tasks, Xu Fan planned to remove the side technique from the big white snake.

Just then, the communication mirror chimed.

Xu Fan checked it and saw a message from Senior Huangshan, summoning him to the Yuanshi Sect for an urgent matter.

“Troubles never end,” Xu Fan sighed, stepping out into the outer star realms of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

A spatial gate leading directly to the Yuanshi Sect opened just in time.

Inside the main hall of the Yuanshi Sect, Xu Fan found sixteen Great Saints of the human race, either as avatars or projections, seated with grave expressions.

Huangshan entered with Xu Fan.

“Senior Huangshan, what’s the urgent matter?” Xu Fan asked, scanning the room.

The Yuan Lord appeared on the main seat.

A book forged from chaotic iron materialized before Xu Fan.

“I’ve noticed that the current conflict between the two Great God or Demon Empires is unlike any before. I managed to steal some intelligence from them,” the Yuan Lord explained.

“The text is written in chaotic runes, so I’d like you, Xu the Divine Master, to translate it.”

“No need for formalities, Yuan Lord,” Xu Fan replied, taking the chaotic iron book.

As he examined the chaotic runes on the cover, Xu Fan realized it was akin to an ultimatum from the Beast God Demon Empire to the Primordial God Demon Empire.

When he opened the book and began reading, his expression darkened.

Suddenly, he recalled Heaven’s Destruction’s words: the Three Thousand Realms were nothing more than small tribes caught between the two great empires.

“Yuan Lord, this chaotic iron book… you…” Xu Fan trailed off.

“It’s a perfect replica. Your concerns are unfounded,” the Yuan Lord assured him, his expression making it clear he wouldn’t make such a reckless mistake.

“The two Great God or Demon Empires are fighting over a Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein in unclaimed territory. Both want to claim it.

“They’ve decided to settle the dispute using the oldest method between gods and demons.

“They’ll designate a battle zone, deploy equal forces, and the last side standing will win the vein.”

Xu Fan looked up, his face grave, and addressed the Great Saints: “The battle zone includes our Three Thousand Realms.”

The Great Saints’ expressions shifted dramatically.

“This is worse than we thought,” the Yuan Lord said.

He had previously asked the Yuanshi Sect’s formations master to translate the book but only grasped part of it, missing critical details.

That’s why Huangshan had brought Xu Fan in.

“Now that you understand the gravity of the situation, what should we do?” the Yuan Lord asked, looking around the room.

“The battle zone encompasses the Three Thousand Realms, and if we do nothing, we will surely be destroyed.”

“At this stage, we have no other options.”

“We can either lead the human race to flee from the battle zone and seek refuge in other realms.”

“Or we can join one side in the fight to ensure we are not wiped out,” one of the Great Saints of the human race suggested.

“We should unite with powerful beings from other realms within the battle zone and quickly resolve the conflict after joining a side,” another Great Saint surrounded by the power of Holy Sun added.

“Don’t play around; no one will protect us when it comes time to settle accounts,” someone opposed.

At that moment, Xu Fan looked up at the Yuan Lord.

“Do we have a map of the territories of the two Great God or Demon Empires?”

A beautiful light curtain appeared in the main hall, and Xu Fan saw the territories of the two empires close to the Three Thousand Realms.

“The God Demon Empires are too vast; we only tracked the territories near the Three Thousand Realms,” the Yuan Lord explained.

In that moment, Xu Fan suddenly felt the sensation of being in a small country with few people, something he had not experienced in his previous life.

“The known areas within the battle zone already include over twenty large realms like the Three Thousand Realms, but uniting to join one side is impossible.”

“If they really go to war, there will definitely be chaotic saints stationed there,” the Yuan Lord sighed.

“Compared to that, the plan to lead the human race away from the battle zone is still feasible,” Huangshan remarked.

“Xu the Divine Master, do you have any good ideas?” the Yuan Lord suddenly asked.

“Yuan Lord, I want to know how powerful chaotic saints are.”

“They can destroy the Three Thousand Realms with just a wave of their hand.”

“Among the Great Saints in the Three Thousand Realms, with very few exceptions, most don’t even qualify to appear before a chaotic saint,” the Yuan Lord said.

“I have some ideas: we can send messages to both Great God or Demon Empires from within the battle zone and use these messages to help the two empires avoid involving the Three Thousand Realms in their conflict,” Xu Fan proposed.

“That could work, but those gods or demons can communicate with chaos; they won’t be fooled by false information,” a Great Saint responded.

“As long as we make the information genuine, it will work,” Xu Fan smiled.

“There are plenty of elders in the Three Thousand Realms skilled at setting up plans. As long as they are willing to strategize, it won’t be a problem to make the information true.” Xu Fan said with a grin.

At that moment, Xu Fan wasn’t bothered by trivial matters; he only had one thought in mind.

Where was the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein? He felt that once he dove into it, the system runic sphere would feast, and then he would become a chaotic saint.

As for the matter of the Three Thousand Realms in the battle zone, to Xu Fan, it was a minor issue.

Standing toe-to-toe with the God Demon Empires was not feasible, but using some clever tactics to survive amid the two great empires’ war was easy.

So Xu Fan’s previous expressions were merely for the benefit of those Great Saints of the human race.

Because of Xu Fan’s words, an intense discussion began in the main hall.

Seeing that his involvement was over, Xu Fan said his goodbyes to Huangshan and left the main hall.

Upon returning to the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan immediately entered the spirit space.

“System, I know you desire the Primordial Purple Qi crystal; you heard that just now.”

“A Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein, and since it’s called a vein, it surely isn’t just a few thousand feet in size.”

“Do you want to absorb a Primordial Purple Qi crystal the size of a star?” Xu Fan asked, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the system runic sphere that resembled a star in size.

After hearing Xu Fan’s words and observing closely, he noticed that the system runic sphere slightly trembled.

“You see, I’m only a Great Luo Sage now; it’s clearly not enough to deal with those chaotic gods or demons at the Great Saint level.”

“So you just need to lift the restrictions and let me enter the saint realm.”

“By then, the Primordial Purple Qi crystals, as big as stars, will be yours to absorb however you wish.” Xu Fan said, watching the system runic sphere spin faster and faster, like a parent pretending to coax a child into accepting their gift money.
