The President of the Longevity Association spoke while pouring tea for everyone: “Moreover, he is a true Outer Heaven Demon, a true ally in the eyes of the President and the East Asia Republic. It’s predictable what the high-ranking demons will think–please!”

At this moment, all nine founders of the Longevity Association, except Great Wei Taizong Wei Jingtong, were present. They showed various expressions: some frowned deeply, some glared angrily, some were lost in thought. Most of them remained silent, each holding a tea cup, sipping quietly.

Only an elderly man, his hair white and beard bristly like steel needles, expressed concern: “We can’t just do nothing. That’s not good for us. The increase in the population of the Earth Federation and the improvement of the Base City environment will only benefit those few Divine Spirits.”

“Of course, we cannot sit by idly.”

The President of the Longevity Association focused intently: “Rather than spending useless resources and personal connections in Congress, we should concentrate our efforts on local councils and governments. Before the end of the armistice treaty, these two bills must not be implemented.”

“So, should we engage in a showdown with the Forest Rui Fang Group?”

A middle-aged man among them sneered: “Then why did we stop the war a year ago? We’ve simply handed Lin Rui the opportunity to gain power.”

The President of the Longevity Association glanced sideways at him.

This was Da Liao’s founding father Pei Tiantong. His alien visage was resolute, features sharply defined, beneath a prominent nose lay a stern thin lip, surrounded by an aura of purple, he carried a dignified and stern presence.

“Has the President forgotten Lin Rui’s essence? Now that we engage in war, what are our chances of victory?”

Pei Tiantong sipped his tea while speaking in a mocking tone: “Inciting local governments to resist is even harder. The Forest Rui Fang Group now possesses such powerful force, those local powers are not foolish.”

“We stopped the war a year ago because All Gods sided with the human government, they would not allow us to fully control the Artificial Sky Curtain. The Longevity Association must continue constructing the Curtain with the Federation Government’s cooperation.”

The President of the Longevity Association replied calmly: “And now, the core part of the Artificial Sky Curtain is already complete. The gods themselves have disagreements, attempting to infiltrate the Curtain in various ways–”

He glanced around at the people present, wondering which gods stood behind each of them.

He then smiled slightly: “Rest assured, we have the support of two gods this time, enough to contain the Lord of Central Continent! As for Lin Rui himself, he’s merely an incomplete Lord of Purity. He escaped from the Master of Devouring by sheer cunning. You are all mighty beings who’ve found enlightenment over millennia. If we join forces, surely we can handle this?”

The President of the Longevity Association once again refilled everyone’s tea: “As for those local governments and powers, it’s merely a matter of money. Their interests are already tied to this. As long as the Longevity Association can provide ample support all around, they will surely strive. We’re not asking them to directly confront, just to find ways to delay–”

At this moment, the President’s thoughts drifted to the Artificial Sky Curtain, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

The Artificial Sky Curtain Base under Lin Rui’s control must have already been built, yet he delayed integrating it into the Curtain. What is he planning?

Has he discovered the issues with the Curtain?

This is very possible, for that Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable is currently under Lin Rui’s protection.

This person’s Formation expertise is exceptionally high, likely perceiving the deep abnormalities within the Curtain.

What’s more, Lin Rui now commands a considerable contingent of Mechanical Masters and Array Talisman Masters.

This person has yet to integrate the base into the Curtain, perhaps he’s devising a means to break it or obtain hidden permissions–

The President of the Longevity Association then secretly smirked, regaining his composure.

The core architecture of the Curtain he personally designed is far from simple, otherwise, how could he oppose All Gods?
