# Chapter 2435: Gradually Rising Dark Clouds
The Angel Race, unsurprisingly, fled in a sorry state once again, each one pulling a long face!
Hadn't they been either fleeing or on the road to fleeing these past few days?
Atiya frowned deeply:
꒰ঌ(#･ˇ_ˇ･)໒꒱ "High Priest? Weren't you just yelling about killing that girl? Why the sudden retreat?"
Wu Jie'er wiped the blood off her face!
꒰ঌ(￢益￢#)໒꒱ "What else can we do if we don't retreat? Even Manifestation can't handle Qing Ke, it's ridiculous!"
He Ye's face darkened: "Do you two still know I'm the High Priest? You sure were decisive when it came to sacrificing me, weren't you?"
Atiya and Wu Jie'er both wore awkward smiles, their eyes darting away:
꒰ঌ(￢ㅂ￢٥)໒꒱ "We... we did it for the sake of the race!"
He Ye snorted coldly: "Fighting further is just asking for trouble. That Qing Ke is a true Child of Destiny. I heard even Star Devourers got finished off by her. She's not someone we can handle!"
Atiya and Wu Jie'er were stunned. Was that really the case?
"Did the Lord of the Celestial Kingdom say anything to you?"
He Ye squinted: "If this continues, humans might even break into fourth place. The Angel Race and the human faction are already mortal enemies, and there's no way to resolve it!"
"Once Jiangnan finishes dealing with the group armies, he'll inevitably turn to us Angels. And we have no good way to counter him!"
"So... since Jiangnan is unsolvable, and Qing Ke is unsolvable, why not let two unsolvable forces collide?"
Atiya's eyes lit up:
꒰ঌ(#¯͒◊¯͒)໒꒱ "You mean to use Qing Ke's hands to kill Jiangnan? But that's the Jiang Devil. Can Qing Ke actually do it?"
He Ye flashed a sinister smile:
꒰ঌ(▀̿↼▀̿̿#)໒꒱ "Kill Jiangnan? Even the Star Devourers couldn't. I don't think Qing Ke can either, but she will certainly cause obstacles for Jiangnan!"
"All we need is to hold that troublesome Jiangnan back for a while, keep him from running around and messing up our plans!"
He Ye had given up hoping to kill Jiangnan.
Wu Jie'er covered her mouth: "Are you planning to take this opportunity to attack other human teams?"
"But if we act alone, not to mention whether we can succeed, even if we do, won't Jiangnan come after us afterward?"
He Ye said calmly: "If we don't do this, won't Jiangnan destroy us anyway? Is there a difference? And besides, we don't necessarily have to do it ourselves, do we?"
"Humans are surging too fiercely. Breaking into the top ten, even surpassing the Star River Legion, and overtaking the Bastard Legion is only a matter of time! This has already touched the fundamental interests of the Sacred Law Council member sequences!"
"No one wants to see humans climb to fourth place. We're anxious, but aren't the Stardust Clan, the Celestial Star Clan, and the Insect Race anxious too? Would they just sit back and watch humans rise?"
Atiya frowned: "That's not right, is it? All the major races don't want to provoke Jiangnan right now! Even if humans are on a roll, once they make a move against humans, Jiangnan will definitely come knocking?"
"Would they be willing to help us with this?"
He Ye sneered: "Afraid of Jiangnan's revenge afterward? Can he really take revenge on everyone? And I told you, we don't have to do it ourselves!"
"We just need to secretly stir the pot. For the major races, they might not be able to eliminate Jiangnan at this stage, but kicking all three hundred-plus human contestants out of the game achieves the same result!"
"By then, only Jiangnan will be left alone in the Chuangjie Daxu. Even if he can kill, how much further can he go? Human points won't increase anymore!"
"In this world, one person alone can't do anything. The main goal of this operation isn't to kill Jiangnan, but to reduce the number of human contestants, lower their efficiency in gaining points, and sink the humans! Do you understand?"
Atiya's eyes sparkled: "So we're going to strip Jiangnan down to a lone commander?"
"Compared to the major races, those group armies are the ones facing the direct threat from humans. They share common interests. We can totally use them as pawns, right?"
Wu Jie'er frowned: "The group armies aren't stupid. Will they really go for it? Who wants to mess with humans and Jiangnan?"
"Besides, Jiangnan's reputation is too huge. And is Qing Ke crazy? Why would she fight Jiangnan?"
He Ye smiled: ꒰ঌ(#･ˇ↼ˇ･)໒꒱ "In this world, many things that seem impossible are mainly because the stakes aren't high enough!"
"Just watch how I sink the humans. Relying solely on our own strength won't be enough!"
"Don't forget! Who exactly put us in this situation in the first place? They'd better not try to play dead now! All of you, come over, receive your tasks, follow my plan, and act separately!"
"The rest of the Angels, continue normal attacks on the group armies. Don't fall too far behind. This is a make-or-break moment!"
After assigning the tasks, several Angels split up and went about their own business!
Above Julang City, on the Sequence Throne, Saint York watched the void projection with a gloomy expression!
As long as we can hold Jiangnan back, we'll clear out all human contestants. Watch out, you green-skinned bastard!
Let's see how you keep scoring!
...
In a star region of the Chuangjie Daxu, a Bose team was engaged in an offensive against a million-strong group army!
This couldn't be called a war; it was more like a massacre!
Few attacks could affect the Bose race. They could even replicate their abilities and domains, completely dominating them!
The strength of the Star Domain Overlord was unquestionable!
Innocent swiftly moved through the battlefield, collecting points. The battle was nearing its end!
Just then, a golden light flew in at high speed, heading straight for the battlefield!
=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞꒰ঌ(#･ˇ口ˇ･)໒꒱ "Lord Innocent? I..."
Before he could finish, a ten-colored heavy sword cut out from the void, directly resting on He Ye's neck!
(￢_￢) "Who allowed you to step into my Bose race's war zone? Do you want to become a corpse?"
He Ye's forehead beaded with cold sweat as he quickly raised his hands:
꒰ঌ(´-﹏-`；)໒꒱ "No... no, that's not my intention. I just wanted to discuss some matters with Lord Innocent. You see..."
Zhong Xu, holding the ten-colored heavy sword, stepped out of the void with an unfriendly expression, coldly saying:
(〃¯ิ_¯ิ) "Wait over there!"
He Ye swallowed his saliva, not daring to say anything more, and could only wait aside for Innocent to finish killing!
Meanwhile, Zhong Xu gazed infatuatedly at Innocent's killing spree, her eyes full of little stars!
˚₊*(ˊॢO̶̶̷̤˘O̴̶̷̤ˋॢ)*₊˚ Ahhh~ Brother Innocent, still so charming, isn't he?
Before long, the group army had been completely wiped out by Innocent!
Innocent slowly sheathed his sword and glanced at the points on his life tablet, frowning.
(￢益￢ꐦ) "Tch~"
The next moment, his figure flickered and appeared beside He Ye!
"Looking for me about what? Don't waste words. I don't want to waste my time on useless matters!"
He Ye quickly explained his plan, forcing a dry smile:
꒰ঌ(#⌒ㅂ⌒)໒꒱ "We can't do this alone. We may need to borrow the prestigious name of the Bose race, the Star Domain Overlord!"
"It won't cost you anything. And there was a previous agreement that you'd help us keep our Sequence seats. You see..."
Innocent looked somewhat surprised, then sneered: "Truly the way of the weak. Always thinking of underhanded tricks to compensate for their lack of strength."
"Heh~ How ridiculous."
He Ye could only keep up his flattering smile. Innocent's eyes were full of irritation as he muttered softly.
"If not for the timing being wrong, and it's not yet time to move against Jiangnan, I would have gone to clash with him long ago. Why bother with all this trouble?"
"He sure knows how to steal the spotlight. Tch~"
There was barely restrained fighting spirit in Innocent's eyes.
He Ye spoke timidly: ꒰ঌ(#◔_◔ิ)໒꒱ "Lord Innocent? About that matter I just brought up..."
Innocent, as if remembering something, curled the corner of his mouth:
(￢↼￢) "Using a Child of Destiny to deal with Jiangnan? That's interesting."
"Go ahead. Zhong Xu, go with him. You can borrow the influence of my Bose race. Let's just play along with them."
Since the Angel Race wanted to stir things up, let them go cause trouble for Jiangnan. The Bose race would be happy to stay out of it, and it would make it easier for him to handle his own affairs.
He Ye's eyes were filled with excitement: "Thank you, Lord Innocent!"
Zhong Xu nodded to Innocent with a smile:
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Don't worry, Brother Innocent!"
Then she turned to He Ye: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Hurry up. Don't waste too much of my time, or I'll chop you right now! Every point counts!"
He Ye: ???
Was the difference in treatment really that drastic?
He Ye borrowed Zhong Xu from the Bose race and set off!
Innocent, looking at his life tablet, frowned deeply.
"Tch... Not to mention the Silicon-based race, the Dark Cosmos Entity is chasing quite fiercely, aren't they? Quite ambitious, huh? How are they killing so fast?"
"Heh~ Using cosmic arts, are they? Time to knock them down a peg. Not just any riffraff can climb up. Wonder if the Silicon-based race is interested..."
With that thought, Innocent sneered.
"Let's go have a talk."
As he spoke, his figure instantly crossed dimensions and disappeared. As for the humans who were scoring rapidly, in Innocent's eyes, they weren't a threat.
The only one worth his attention was Jiangnan!
...
In another group army battlefield, the Star River Legion was pressing a super-massive group army fiercely, continuously firing energy cannons!
Their points had even been overtaken by humans. How could they not be anxious?
The group army had been broken and was now putting up its last resistance!
Atiya flew rapidly toward them at high speed!
Tian Huixing: !!!
An Qu: !!!
꒰⸝⸝ꐦ°᷄益°᷅⸝⸝꒱ "Damn Angels? And a lone one? Kill it! Kill it now! Blast this shameless birdman to pieces!"
"Is there a tail behind it?"
As soon as the words were spoken, beams of energy lit up the starry sky, bombarding Atiya!
Atiya's feathers stood on end: "Damn! Mistake! Mistake, everyone! I'm not here to pick a fight! I came to talk business!"
Tian Huixing spat out a mouthful of molten lava: "Pah! Talk is useless! Blast him! Where's He Ye? Let him come out! I'll tear him apart!"
Atiya urged anxiously: "At this point, do you still want to start a war with my Angel Race and waste time?"
"Humans have already surpassed you in points! Don't you want to knock them off the leaderboard, sink them down? The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
An Qu frowned, his expression unfriendly, but he raised his hand to stop the attack!
"What do you mean? You want us to take the blame again, don't you? After provoking Jiangnan, our efficiency in getting points will only drop, won't it?"
"You want us to aggro everyone while you take the chance to rise? Dream on!"
"Let me reiterate: we're not afraid of Jiangnan. We just don't want to fight him right now!"
Atiya: ꒰ঌ(￢_￢#)໒꒱
You're amazing. You just said both the high-EQ and low-EQ versions all by yourself!
"Don't misunderstand! I naturally come with sincerity. Let me finish what I have to say, how about it?"
