The expressions of the attendees were not very pleasant.

Although the "Outlook for the Future" segment didn’t last long, everyone only saw a few scattered fragments, yet this mysterious strong person’s "confession" contained too much information that needed to be slowly digested.

The atmosphere in the conference hall stiffened instantly, and everyone fell silent.

Finally, Gray, the representative of the United States, broke the deadlock: "What Demon Prison, True Demon, Demon Egg, I don’t quite understand."

"But..."

"Judging from the meaning of that deity, His original intent was to prevent the coming of the end of the Cosmos, to avoid the extinction of all civilizations in the Cosmos."

"These voices and images were observed by the Prophet using Superpower. Although there is a possibility that the other party fabricated the information, it is not very likely."

"So, the Divine Court side is actually righteous and not the evil, brutal force that delights in destruction?"

Hearing Gray’s words, Russia’s Soul of Slav, Tegnev, immediately retorted, "Are you saying that we are the sinful side, that we are unjust, that in the face of Divine Court’s invasion, we should not resist and deserve to be wiped out?"

People usually subconsciously regard those who stand in opposition to the side of justice as evil.

Gray, when analyzing, did not sound particularly disgusted with the Divine Court.

"Of course not!"

Gray immediately defended himself: "I was just wondering if there is a possibility of reconciliation?"

"After all, the personal grievances between Divine Court and us originate from that so-called True Demon. As long as the Demon Egg can be eliminated, making Earth no longer a Demon Nest, then..."

At this point, Gray couldn’t continue.

He also realized that his previous idea was too naive.

Not to mention that even the powerful Divine Court regards the True Demon as a formidable enemy, can Earthlings find those so-called "Demon Eggs"? Even if they can be found and a method to completely eliminate them is developed, what then?

Why would the Divine Court coexist peacefully with Earth?

What if, from their perspective, the so-called "suppressing the Demon Egg" is just a play directed by the True Demon itself, a prearranged trap?

It’s simpler to just wipe out Earth Civilization.

Moreover...

The Divine Court indeed harbors grievances against Earth Civilization.

Not to mention, the recent fall of the Six Gods of Destruction on Earth could be completely regarded as the fuse of a civilization war.

Furthermore, the Divine Court’s reason for annihilating Earth is not merely to "eliminate the Demon Nest to weaken the revival of the End," but also to set an example, to assert their might, to reign over the Cosmos.

Weak countries have no diplomacy; weaker civilizations do not even have the qualification to communicate equally with advanced civilizations.

Will others care how Earthlings think about or view their destruction of Earth Civilization?

No!

Therefore...

The probability of successful reconciliation is really negligibly small.

Although Gray’s rationality allowed him to understand these critical points, emotionally, he was not willing to admit it.

Unlike most Americans, this "God" fundamentally abhors war.

A puzzled Gray instinctively looked toward Ma Ran, who was not far away.

"Seeking reconciliation is an appeasement policy."

Ma Ran remained calm and composed, speaking in his usual tone: "If you seek peace through struggle, peace will remain."

"If you seek peace through compromise, peace will perish."

"Do not harbor any illusions about the Divine Court."

"What is most important now is to unify our thoughts."

"Even if our strength is less than one ten-thousandth of the other’s, even if the odds of victory are almost nil, we must fight this battle!"

"There may indeed be a possibility of reconciliation, but that must be after the two sides have clashed."

"Only by fighting for our dignity will Earth Civilization have the qualification to negotiate with the Divine Court."

These words were quite blunt, openly unveiling Earth’s last shred of dignity.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling their self-esteem trampled upon.

Humans were known as the primates of all things, ruling the Earth for many years, cultivating a deep-seated pride, even arrogantly believing themselves to be the only advanced intelligent race in the Universe.

But now...

In the face of harsh reality, everyone had to admit that—weakness itself is the original sin.

Earth’s comprehensive strength is indeed too weak!

Whether in Technology or Extraordinary Power, compared to many civilizations weaker than the Divine Court, Earth may not necessarily have an advantage.

The most absurd part for everyone was...

The Divine Court aims to destroy Earth Civilization not like other extraterrestrial invaders.

Those deities are not for the resources and Faith Ranch, but for the "Greater Good" and "Justice."

Even so, they would not even issue a notification to the Earthlings, informing Earth Civilization of the truth.

If not for the Prophet Ma Ran possessing Foreknowledge, Earth Humans would not know the real reason for their extinction until the moment of civilization’s demise.

If not for interstellar friends like the Game Main God Xuan and Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan providing leadership, and top-tier Extraordinary Ones like Martial God Su Qiangwei, God Gray, and Soul of Slav Tegnev working together, fighting to the death, perhaps they wouldn’t have even survived the second wave of Divine Court’s onslaught, and Earth Human Civilization would have turned to ruins, becoming dust in history as early as yesterday.

Ma Ran’s words made many intelligent people unable to continue playing dumb, and also made those not too clear-headed realize the seriousness of the situation.

As enemies, the Divine Court is so strong that it makes one difficult to conceive a thought of resistance, but...

Ma Ran’s ability to withstand pressure has always been strong.

Originally something sufficient to make people despair was said by Ma Ran in such a calm tone, seemingly also affecting the attendees, calming them down a lot, and prompting many to start voicing their opinions.

"I agree with the Prophet’s view; he has never been wrong in major decisions."

"A fight is inevitable, but... how to fight?"

"Under the Divine Court are three major civilizations. Including their vassals, they are flourishing to the extreme. Even if they do not dispatch high-end combat power, just using cannon fodder and human wave tactics would be overwhelming for us."

"Defeating the Six Gods of Destruction was Earth exerting all its strength. Yet those six deities were only at the level of Lower Rank Gods within the Divine Court and did not count as high-end combat power."

"Sigh... It’s unknown how strong the Middle Rank Gods and Upper Rank Gods are. The information is asymmetrical to the extreme!"

"This is equivalent to a war just beginning. We’ve poured everything we have to gain some business of a battle, getting a bit of an advantage, but if they just react, freeing up a little power, they can completely wipe us out!"

"What you’re saying is raising the morale of others and diminishing your own prestige!"

"He is speaking the truth. The key issue for us now is a lack of manpower, whether it’s core combat power or high-end combat power, they are far inferior to the Divine Court."

At this point in the discussion, someone suddenly said, "Since we’re short on manpower, perhaps we could request aid from allies."

"For example..."

"Cangming Star!"
