Wang Long waved his hand and said, "The principles of the world are just like this; where there is benefit, there must be a drawback. Over the years, many races have risen and fallen in the Divine Realm, but the Giant Clan has managed to exist until now. How can we say they have no strengths?"
"Haha, hearing you say that really makes me feel at ease. Well, according to your reasoning, if we are not advancing head-on, then why bother with all this fuss of announcing and raising an army? What is your ultimate plan?"
"Those matters have actually been addressed by others before us. Do you think the forces opposing Amohan have just been idly sitting by? They have never succeeded. So, those are merely superficial issues; we just need to apply a bit of pressure. We will travel light and quickly infiltrate near Sky Pillar to see if we can obtain some unexpected gains."
"Uh." The Dragon Man's expression suddenly stiffened. He had initially thought he would hear some brilliant strategy from Wang Long.
After all this... they were still relying on luck?
As he followed Wang Long in flight, the Dragon Man reflected on Wang Long's words.
Indeed, sometimes if you don't take a chance, luck won't come looking for you.
Now they had already infiltrated the outskirts of Sky Pillar. The original Divine Guardians had long since dispersed, and a new War God Army had been formed, consisting of Amohan's own kin and those who were sympathetic to him.
However, for Wang Long and the Dragon Man, this was actually good news.
Even if Amohan was bold enough, he wouldn't dare to wipe out the entire Giant Clan that opposed him at Sky Pillar. Therefore, those who seemed to pose no threat were directly pushed to the outskirts of Sky Pillar.
For Amohan, this was merely a convenient method. But it provided Wang Long and the Dragon Man with a place to gather information.
"You came from Alan Tribe? Sigh, since you're from so far away, it would be better to stay far away. Why come to such a dangerous place?"
Since the fall of the Giant Spirit God, various forces frequently moved through here. So even though Wang Long wasn't from the Giant Clan, he didn't stand out too much. After chatting for a bit, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Upon learning that the Dragon Man came from Alan Clan's territory, the Old Warrior shook his head and sighed.
Haha, in this day and age, who doesn't want an opportunity to achieve something? They say this is Sky Pillar; with the recent fall of the Giant Spirit Lord, opportunities must be abundant. So we came here to try our luck.
"Luck?" Hearing the Dragon Man's awkward excuse, the Old Warrior scoffed. "You guys should just pray for your own safety. One misstep could lead to good fortune turning into misfortune!"
"You don't know! I've heard that Amohan has won quite a few victories recently; his courage has grown bolder and his actions more reckless. When his own men run short on supplies, they come directly to rob us! And if they see someone they don't like, they just draw their swords and kill without hesitation—regardless of who it is! Sigh! You should leave quickly!"
"How could this be?" Wang Long perked up and asked in detail, "Isn't it said that many major clans have formed Allied Forces now and their strength has surpassed Amohan's? How is it that Amohan has gained the upper hand now? What about those rebels?"
"Don't mention it. Previously, we had high hopes for them," said the Old Warrior, his voice dropping even lower.
"At first, their actions went quite smoothly. They defeated several of Amohan's subordinates' tribes and headed straight for the Sky Pillar. Moreover, the Demon Clan and Yin Ghost Clan had already left for other matters. We all thought they would take advantage of the momentum to push in and drive Amohan away."
"But who would have thought that just as victory was in sight, internal strife broke out among them? They said they needed to quickly establish the position of the new Giant Spirit God to avoid causing destruction at the Sky Pillar during their advance."
"What a blunder!" Wang Long sighed with his eyes closed.
"Exactly! Although they usually follow orders, that's only against enemies; it's completely different when it comes to their own people."
"As long as they could seize that position and use the blessings of the territory to become the new generation's War God, it was an excellent opportunity for a meteoric rise! In such circumstances, it would be strange if there were no internal conflicts."
"I may not know the specific reasons since I wasn't on-site, but it's clear that they must have experienced significant internal turmoil. This not only gave Amohan a chance to catch his breath but more importantly, an opportunity to turn the tables! I don't know what tricks he played inside, but he managed to get the Skyfire Tribe and Iron Mountain Tribe to fight among themselves. Meanwhile, those factions looking for an excuse directly engaged in chaos here."
"In the end, Amohan became the Benefactor who reaped all the benefits. Although he didn't completely crush all opposing forces in one battle, he severely weakened their Vital Energy and handed over the initiative in the war, effectively minimizing their threat."
The young men at the tavern encountered various dealings every day, meeting many people and hearing numerous stories. So sometimes, for convenience's sake, they could simply ask them for any information they wanted.
"Self-inflicted wounds?" Wang Long felt a headache coming on.
No wonder so much time had passed without any news regarding the Giant Clan's achievements.
Their thinking was still too conservative. One could imagine that when they first received this news, while being vigilant, they also held onto the belief that as long as they weren't eliminated by Amohan and could hold on, reinforcements would surely arrive.
However, what they didn't realize at that time was that the real crisis wasn't Schumacher but time itself.
Now Wang Long regretted not rushing here immediately; he could have joined forces with those from the Giant Clan's Allied Forces earlier and made new arrangements.
"How long has Amohan been at the Sky Pillar? Is he still out on campaign with his subordinates?"
"Under normal circumstances, he stays at the Sky Pillar. It is said that each Giant Spirit God must experience the Battle Pool at the Sky Pillar when succeeding their predecessor to feel the powerful battle intent of past Giant Spirit Gods. A portion of that intent is also absorbed into their own power, making each Giant Spirit Lord an extraordinary expert. Considering the time now, Amohan wouldn't dare leave."
"Oh!" Wang Long's eyes lit up as he learned this crucial piece of information.
"With Amohan at Sky Pillar, it's a perfect opportunity for us to strike!"
"Dragon Man" said in confusion, "But didn't you say before that with our two strengths, how could we possibly break through to the top of the 'Sky Pillar'? Their new guard army, although newly formed, is made up of 'Amohan's' old team. They still need to develop mutual cooperation, but it's not something we can easily handle alone, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that foolish. The last time I was able to sneak into your 'Giant Spirit Temple' was mainly because you had been too peaceful for too long, and they had lost their vigilance—otherwise, how could they have allowed 'Amohan' to lead troops into the 'Sky Pillar'? Now 'Amohan' must be on high alert; it would be nearly impossible for us to sneak in again."
"Dragon Man" smiled wryly and said, "If that's the case, are we just left staring at each other while you filter out too many enemies by yourself?"
"Wang Long" shook his head and replied, "Regardless, at least we know that the civilians here are unwilling to submit to 'Amohan'. This is a significant advantage for us. Let's first go see the opposing alliance against 'Amohan' and check out what these eager power-seekers really look like."
The fact that "Wang Long" could say such things indicated that he was extremely angry inside.
When he came to the "Giant Clan," he had hoped that at least those opposing him within the "Giant Clan" alliance were in a stalemate with 'Amohan', which would allow him more opportunities amidst the chaos.
But now they were actually allowing 'Amohan' to absorb power atop the 'Sky Pillar' without applying any pressure, leaving him and "Dragon Man" at a loss for how to act.
What a group of "motivated" allies!
If that's the case, he would rather not have such allies! He might as well push "Dragon Man" to become the new leader of the "Giant Clan"!
