Chapter 967: Pep Assembly

Zhang Lie comforted the alien representatives. "I know that all of you are afraid of what might happen—and indeed, these death spirits the superior worlds are trying to combat are fearful.

"But isn't that natural? Even the superior worlds have to band together to take on this foe. The death spirits, which only the combined might of the three thousand worlds of the realm can take on, could hardly be anything but powerful.

"The death spirits can't be handled by any one superior world, nor even by all the superior worlds working together. I can't imagine just how strong they really are," one representative said.

The others nodded, thinking that his words were reasonable.

Zhang Lie chuckled to himself.?Oh, really??The superior worlds were certainly sufficient to take on the threat—they simply didn't want to do so. They were on guard against each other, and they'd much rather send lower worlds onto the battlefield as cannon fodder.

"The death spirits aren't a foe our ruined worlds can take on. That's why we're all here today."

Zhang Lie nodded. "Since everyone's aware of how frightening the death spirits are, I won't waste my breath. Beforehand, I reached out to all of you because I had heard about the war, intending to form an alliance."

"How do you plan to deal with this war?" The alien representatives all drew closer.

Zhang Lie raised his voice. "The superior worlds, and the death spirits that even the superior worlds might not be handle—both are unassailable foes that we can't take on. This war will be larger than any other in the third realm, in the past or in the future. Compared to these two forces, we're nothing but cannon fodder. The only way we can survive is by banding together and forming an alliance."

The alien representatives all nodded, thinking that Zhang Lie's words were very reasonable.

"Our worlds can't hold a candle to those two monsters..."

"We need to work together. We're too weak to survive alone."

"No matter how weak we are, we might be able to prevent our combined destruction together."

Of course, the primary reason the alien representatives were so receptive to this idea was that they could simply follow behind the draconian world, which boasted strong fighters like the members of Team Zenith and the warlords. If Zhang Lie, who seemed like a martial god, was speaking of his own insignificance in the war, they would be nothing more than dust on the battlefield.

The only way they could survive would be by leeching off a stronger force—the draconian world.

The formation of the coalition proceeded as smoothly as expected. Zhang Lie and the alien representatives settled on gathering the bulk of their strength and collectively accepting the superior worlds' summons.

Subsequently, Zhang Lie spoke to the warlords about his plan. "Once the alien forces gather, you'll set off together."

The warlords didn't understand the benefit the alien forces would bring to them. Xing Ying asked, "Why are we bringing along a group of useless fighters? They'll slow us down."

The warlords were well aware of Zhang Lie's combat ability. Even if they were to accompany him, they'd be holding him back—let alone those weak alien races.

Zhang Lie shrugged. "I'll be working alone. These aliens are useless, which makes them perfect cannon fodder."

If Zhang Lie were leading the command, he certainly wouldn't agree to the presence of these weaklings, but Zhang Hanxiang would be in charge. Having more cannon fodder around wasn't necessarily a bad thing; they didn't need to do anything but block a blow and die.

Zhang Lie continued, "Furthermore, there's strength in numbers and perception, don't you think?"

None of the warlords disagreed with Zhang Lie, or rather, nothing would change even if they did.

Zhang Lie then informed Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi of the news.

The two women reacted differently. Hong Xi asked in surprise, "You're setting off so quickly?" She had just finished maxing her gene fragments, and she was familiarizing herself with the structure of the third realm.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hanxiang jumped up in excitement. "We're finally setting off! I've waited for this for quite some time."

"Prepare yourselves well. There'll be a pep assembly once the aliens gather."

In order to leech off the draconian world, the aliens gathered quickly before they could be left behind. They assembled in the draconian world, with the warlords standing guard around the stage.

Zhang Lie stood on stage as he surveyed all the aliens present, meeting their expectant gazes. They had all assembled quickly with their strongest forces, fearing that Zhang Lie would leave them behind. Zhang Lie winced upon glancing through the crowd—the worlds had been devastated by the members of Team Zenith and the warlords, and the Worldpact Coalition they had formed had subsequently been crushed. As a result, they barely had any fighters left.

Zhang Lie walked up on stage. The members of Team Zenith followed behind him.

"Everyone, we will soon be embroiled in a war of mythic proportions, the likes of which have never been seen in the third realm. You'll suffer through trial and trouble, but I believe that you can overcome it all. Unfortunately, I won't be able to lead you on the battlefield."

The aliens were confused, but they didn't make a ruckus. Even without Zhang Lie, there were still the members of Team Zenith.

"I will be leading the warlords to the frontlines with the superior worlds, and I regret that I won't be able to fight with you. Command of the battlefield will pass to my sister, Zhang Hanxiang."

Zhang Hanxiang marched onto stage and waved at the shocked aliens.

The aliens were skeptical of Zhang Hanxiang's strength, but they didn't dare to raise an objection.

Zhang Lie continued, "Everyone, please rest assured. I'm confident in my sister's strength."

After the members of Team Zenith consumed the peak limit-breaking potion and confirmed that there were no issues, Zhang Lie had Zhang Hanxiang consume the peak limit-breaking potion as well.

At this point, Zhang Hanxiang was only slightly weaker than the members of Team Zenith, and she would have no trouble asserting her strength over the all-but-crippled aliens.

"My sister will be assisted by my disciple, Hong Xi!"

.

Hong Xi walked up on stage and bowed to the crowd.

"Next, the main fighters of the draconian army!"

With a huge clamor, a group of armored mammoths appeared on stage, with a huge group of greenskins to their left and bearmen to the right. In the middle were the combined human and draconian forces.

The aliens were shocked by the intimidating stature of this formation. Many of the aliens turned pale—they had suffered under the rampage of the human and mammoth fighters.

Nevertheless, given the intimidating nature of the forces, they were all at ease with regards to their odds of surviving the upcoming war.

"It's time to set off." With a wave of Zhang Lie's hand, Zhu appeared with a huge mass of genetic lifeforms in tow, most of which were peak- and superior-grade.

The aliens glanced at each other fearfully and prepared to fight.

"Don't worry," Zhang Lie called out. "These will be your allies in war, as well as your mounts to the battlefield."

The aliens glanced at each other again, this time in shock. For so many strong genetic lifeforms to become nothing more than their mounts—they marveled at the might of Zhang Lie and the draconian world.
