Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

To make matters worse, the Serpent Man and the Shadow Hand have joined forces.

In just three days, the guild's membership dwindled from over two hundred to just over one hundred. Ninety percent of the guild's resource points were lost, making even venturing out to do quests extremely dangerous.

Thranduil was furious.

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

After much thought, he realized that this matter was inextricably linked to Kal'tsit.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that everything started going wrong for him from the year she brought Liu back.

As for offending Riftscale, it was Liu Nian, whom Kal'tsit brought back, who killed Riftscale's sister...

In other words, this whole thing started because of Kal'tsit and Liu Nian!

He opened private chat and found Kal'tsit.

"exist?"

Kal'tsit replied after a few seconds: "Guild Master, what is it?"

Thranduil: "You know what's been going on with our guild lately, right?"

Kal'tsit: "I know."

Thranduil: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Kal'tsit was silent for a few seconds before replying, "What does the guild master want me to say? Those are all baseless rumors! It's just an excuse they're using to deal with us!"

Kal'tsit was also aggrieved. She had heard the rumors too, but how could she dare to challenge Riftscale with her strength?

"Have you contacted Liu Nian recently?"

"We've been in contact."

Do you think he has anything to do with these things?

Kal'tsit fell silent again.

This time the silence lasted a bit longer.

Then she replied, "President, I don't know."

Thranduil's blood pressure began to rise.

You don't know?

We haven't settled the score with you for the area boss yet!

But he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

Now is not the time to turn against Kal'tsit.

The guild is already in chaos enough; if it loses another core member, Dawn will truly be finished.

He replied, "Never mind, let's leave it at that."

Thranduil turned off the chat, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

He suddenly felt a pang of regret.

If only I had treated Liu Nian a little better back then...

If only I hadn't been so arrogant back then... I would have recruited Liu Nian into the guild.

That shouldn't be the situation now...

Thranduil, of course, had no idea that this was all thanks to Liu Nian!

----------

Within the competition area.

Liu Nian looked at the message from Kal'tsit and remained silent for a few seconds, which was unusual for him.

To be honest, he felt a little guilty.

He did intend to use Thranduil's face to lure the enemy out of hiding, and incidentally cause some trouble for the Dawn Guild, giving Kal'tsit a chance to switch sides.

But I never expected things to escalate to this extent.

The Serpent Man and the Shadow Hand are teaming up to cause trouble... With Dawn's limited resources, they probably won't last long.

Kal'tsit...

Liu Nian thought for a moment and sent her a message:

"Be careful lately. If Dawn really can't hold on, come to my Dragon Guild anytime."

Kal'tsit replied instantly: "Are you trying to poach my girlfriend?"

Liu Nian: "Yes."

Kal'tsit: "...You're honest, aren't you?"

Liu Nian: "Excellent benefits, including meals and accommodation."

Kal'tsit was silent for a few seconds, then sent a message saying, "I'll think about it."

Liu Nian smiled and closed the chat.

Scales splitting?

Fifth on the power ranking?

I'll go back and see him after I'm done with things here in the competition area.

Anyway, it will only take a month at most.

----------

Frosthowl Fortress.

Liu Nian stood in front of the fortress gate, looking at the magnificent building constructed of solid ice and giant stones.

This was his first time visiting the main city of the Demon Bear Clan, and it was much more magnificent than he had imagined.

The city walls were filled with fully armed demon bear warriors, each staring at him warily.

No one moved, but no one opened the door either.

Liu Nian didn't move either.

He just stood there in front of the fortress.

Although he did not reveal his true face, the Sun Eater, who possessed a true heart, could still easily see his information.

A moment later, the city gate slowly opened.

The towering figure of Devourer of the Sun appeared behind the door, followed by the three clan chiefs: Rock, Thunderclaw, and Blazing Fire.

"Please come in."

The voice of Devouring the Sun was calm, devoid of any emotion.

Liu Nian nodded and stepped into the fortress.

The interior of Frosthowl Fortress was even more magnificent and rugged than the exterior: massive stone pillars supported the dome, and the walls were adorned with various trophies—dragon teeth, beast bones, and enemy weapons and armor. At the center was a huge fire pit, its flames roaring and illuminating the entire hall.

Shi Ri sat down by the fire pit and gestured for Liu Nian to sit opposite him.

The three clan leaders stood to one side, without sitting.

Liu Nian sat down and got straight to the point:

"It's been so long since we last saw each other!"

After a few seconds of silence, Devourer of the Sun said, "Yes, it's been a while."

He had a genuine heart, so he naturally knew Liu Nian's true level and... main attributes.

But it is precisely because I can see it that I feel increasingly powerless.

Level: 133

Health Points: 12,518,429,943

Attack power: 406,453,231

How can I fight him now?

The Sun Devourer had absolutely no desire to fight.

"Did you destroy the Ratmen's capital city?" said the Sun Devourer.

Liu Nian nodded.

Shi Ri revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Then he gave a wry smile and said, "Did you come here this time to give me an ultimatum, out of consideration for our past relationship?"

Liu Nian did not deny it: "I want to end the promotion war."

Looking at Liu Nian, Shi Ri thought: As expected of you, you want to end the war between the six races by yourself.

But the problem is... Liu Nian can actually do it!

"Alright, you set a time, and we'll greet you with our strongest fighting spirit!" The fighting spirit in Devourer's eyes reignited.

Liu Nian waved his hand: "No, no, no! I think you've misunderstood. I don't mean to destroy your main city. What I mean is, you can become my vassal race, like the trolls and the Abe bees, and ascend to the Naraku Realm together! I need you!"

Devourer of the Sun paused for a moment.

Weren't you here to challenge someone to a fight?

Become a vassal...

In the past, the idea of ​​devouring the sun would never have been even considered.

But it is different now.

One reason is that the chance of promotion is completely hopeless, and the other is that Liu Nian mentioned that he already has two vassal races under his command.

Finally, Liu Nian's level far surpassed his!

If someone who is similar to you, or only slightly better than you, asks you to submit to them, you will definitely have thoughts of resentment and feel indignant, wondering why they should do this.

But what if Jack Ma said: "Kid, I need you so much, I'll give you 100 million, you can be my little brother for the rest of your life!"

Do you still feel indignant?

Liu Nian looked at the Sun Devourer and said seriously:

"Although you are considered vassals, I will treat you all equally. What I mean is, you are only joining the Dragonborn's camp in this way, but you are not slaves, and no Dragonborn will treat you differently. Apart from not being able to establish your own guilds or cities, you will be no different from where you are now. I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do. You will remain the same as before. That is my promise!"

Shi Ri looked at Liu Nian.

He wouldn't believe it if it were anyone else, but if it were Liu Nian...

With his current combat strength, if he really wanted to enslave you, he wouldn't need to say so much to you.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Ri asked, "Why did you drag us into this?"

"Naturally, it's because your race is very strong, and your abilities are also crucial to me! You haven't forgotten the bond between us two kings, have you? And your true heart!" Liu Nian said sincerely, "I'm not just being polite; I really need your help to face the even greater challenges ahead."
