541: Break the situation

"If all the Sacred Kings disappeared... what would happen?"

This was the countermeasure Aurora Sacred King had devised, and Li Qi instantly understood what he meant.

It must be said that this method could indeed be considered striking at the vital point.

It was obvious that that existence was mainly targeting them, the Sacred Kings; if the Sacred Kings were all gone... then what would happen?

"How many Sacred Kings exist in total now?" Li Qi asked.

Aurora Sacred King pondered for a moment before replying: "Currently, the Sacred Kings who are still active and walk about... number about eighty-something..."

"If we add those who have already vanished, or those who have never appeared in the public eye from the very beginning... the total number is likely no less than one hundred!"

Over one hundred Sacred Kings—this number was not small, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a bountiful harvest!

But if the fruit fell early and all of it rotted on the ground...

Naturally, there would be no way to harvest it again.

That would probably be very interesting!

After all, these Sacred Kings were the main targets of the harvest, and everything else was just small fry; harvesting those things wouldn't be very meaningful.

Seeing the look of realization on Li Qi's face, Aurora Sacred King smiled faintly, knowing that Li Qi had understood his meaning, and he continued.

"If all the Sacred Kings disappeared in advance, then two results would occur..."

"First, everything remains unchanged, and the Great Destruction still arrives on time, at which point everyone is finished."

"Second, without the main targets for the harvest, that existence changes its mind and pauses the process of the Great Destruction harvest. Time continues to extend for several eras until new Sacred Kings are born, and then it comes to harvest again..."

"In this way, the Great Destruction is terminated, and everyone can survive."

Aurora Sacred King took a deep breath: "There is a fifty percent success rate in this, which is better than doing nothing at all. If we do nothing... then there is truly no hope at all."

Li Qi asked the key point directly: "How do we make all the Sacred Kings disappear? Make them all surrender their Sacred Throne?"

Aurora Sacred King sneered: "How is that possible?"

"Not a single Sacred King would be willing to voluntarily surrender their own Sacred Throne; even if you told them the reason behind it, it would be useless."

"We must use thunderous means to defeat all the Sacred Kings and strip them of their Sacred Throne!"

Li Qi frowned slightly: "So that is why you chose me; you think I have such ability?"

"That's right, you are the most suitable!"

"You think too highly of me..." Li Qi replied noncommittally, brushing it off casually.

Immediately after, Li Qi changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of chill: "There is one thing you have likely intentionally ignored..."

"Even if I really managed to do it, if I really wiped out all the Sacred Kings and made that existence terminate the Great Destruction... I am afraid that that existence would never let me off."

An orchard that had been waited upon for ten eras had gone barren, with all the fruit rotting in the ground; no one would let that go, and they would certainly be gnashing their teeth in anger.

And Li Qi, who caused all of this, would definitely not be able to escape!

He would inevitably suffer the crazy retaliation of that existence!

It seemed that Aurora Sacred King knew Li Qi would ask this, so he immediately explained: "Your Excellency, please do not be impatient, and listen to me slowly."

"Since you have defeated all the Sacred Kings and seized all the Sacred Thrones, you can then perform Fusion and absorb them all, adding them all to yourself! Your strength will inevitably grow to a truly terrifying level!"

"Relying on this... it is not impossible to escape and ascend!"

Aurora Sacred King's tone also grew a bit more excited, and his breathing unconsciously became heavy.

"Think about it, with hundreds of Sacred Thrones all on your person, what kind of terrifying power is that?"

"The power of the Three Thousand Great Daos would be increased by hundreds of times!"

"No Sacred King has ever reached this Realm!"

"With such strength, let alone protecting yourself, even if you were to clash head-on with that existence and beat it back... it is not impossible!"

In Aurora Sacred King's view, Li Qi was the only person who could possibly achieve this.

Li Qi's existence was an anomaly; he had only appeared in everyone's line of sight for a mere three years, but in such a short time, he had performed Fusion with five Sacred Thrones. This speed had already completely exceeded common sense.

He was stronger than all the Sacred Kings and was the existence most likely to reach the pinnacle.

Aurora Sacred King looked at Li Qi with burning eyes, his eyes filled with unquestioning trust; he firmly believed that Li Qi could do it. Under the gaze of the other party's such burning eyes, Li Qi even felt a hint of stinging pain.

But Li Qi was silent. Others might not be clear about some of the hidden circumstances, but how could he not be?

The existence of something like the Sacred Throne itself was very strange!

It was very unnatural and contained quite a few hidden dangers.

And Li Qi, especially after seeing the mastermind behind the distribution of clues about the Sacred Thrones, trusted the Sacred Thrones even less.

Integrating hundreds of Sacred Thrones into his own body, while it could grant terrifying power... would inevitably have huge hidden dangers!

Li Qi would never do such a thing.

Therefore, regarding how to deal with the retaliation of that existence, Aurora Sacred King's method was not feasible.

After a short while, Li Qi said slowly: "Your method is generally feasible, but some details in it still need to be adjusted..."
