The Void Race’s biggest predicament now is the lack of Tier One powerhouses.

Whether it’s the void or heaven and earth,

they all follow the same rule, which is that below Tier One is like ants.

Without Tier One experts overseeing, the Void Race’s survival environment is a concern.

It can be said that their life and death are in the hands of powerhouses like the Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang.

If these Tier One powerhouses allow them to live, they live.

If these Tier One powerhouses want them to die, they must die.

A race that cannot even control its own life and death is truly pitiable.

”Grand Elder, there is one thing I can’t wrap my mind around.”

”Our feuds with the Four Great Primordial Spirits have lasted for countless years.”

”Throughout these years, it’s always been their disciples attacking us. The Four Great Primordial Spirits themselves have never directly taken action.”

”I wonder if there’s a possibility that some kind of constraint is limiting them, preventing them from acting against us.”

”Since the Four Great Primordial Spirits haven’t acted against us for so many years, perhaps this time they still won’t.”

”Maybe we just need to defeat their disciples to achieve victory this time,” the Second Elder of the Void Race expressed his speculation.

Indeed, after training under Lin Yuan, the Second Elder of the Void Race has improved significantly!

He has even started to extrapolate and analyze the situation.

Upon hearing the Second Elder of the Void Race’s analysis, the Grand Elder of the Void Race nodded repeatedly.

The Grand Elder of the Void Race felt confident in his vision.

The Second Elder he just promoted is indeed different from other people of the race.

Except for being slightly aggressive, there’s no other fault to find.

”Aggression might not be a bad thing.”

”I’ve been conservative for so many years, yet I still haven’t saved the Void Race.”

”Perhaps our Void Race should walk a different path!” the Grand Elder of the Void Race thought to himself.

Managing the Void Race for so many years, the Grand Elder of the Void Race was already exhausted.

Now, with such a capable helper, he could finally catch a breath.

Regarding the Void Race Second Elder’s question, the Grand Elder of the Void Race hid nothing.

The Grand Elder of the Void Race revealed everything he knew: ”We and the Four Great Primordial Spirits are actually of the same origin.”

”The Four Great Primordial Spirits are the powerful us; we are the weaker Four Great Primordial Spirits.”

”Their reason for hunting us is simply fear of us growing strong and sharing their power.”

”The greatest sin of all is the sin of hunting one’s kin. The Four Great Primordial Spirits must bear great karma for hunting us.”

”Karma is why the Four Great Primordial Spirits do not act themselves but rather rely on their disciples to hunt us.”

Before, the Void Race Second Elder was just a normal Void Race person, unable to access these secrets.

Now, after learning these secrets from the Grand Elder of the Void Race, his face showed a look of sudden realization: ”So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!”

”Using their disciples to share the karma, achieving the goal of karma-free.”

”The Four Great Primordial Spirits are indeed calculating, very calculating!”

Thinking this, the Void Race Second Elder said, ”Since there’s karma as a potential threat, this time, Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha, they might not personally take action.”

”As long as Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha do not personally take action, our Void Race still has a chance of winning.”

Having gone through both the Heaven-Earth War and the Void War.

Now, the disciples under the Buddha are completely defeated, and the ones under the Demon Lord are mostly defeated.

The only ones untouched were Wa Huang’s disciples.

With decrease here and increase there.

The Void Race has now reached a period of Revival, with strength at its peak.

Without intervention from Tier One forces, the Void Race is at least 70-80% confident.

”Sigh.” Upon hearing the Void Race Second Elder’s words, the Grand Elder of the Void Race let out a heavy sigh: ”Defeat is difficult, victory is difficult.”

”Both victory and defeat are disasters!”

The Grand Elder of the Void Race’s words held truth, as for their Void Race, neither victory nor defeat is favorable.

Defeat, naturally, needs no more words, as their race, which has reached revival status, falls into decline once again.

But if they claim victory, defeating the allied forces of Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang, is that truly a good thing?

From the looks of it, Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang are not ones to honor martial virtues.

When their disciples are dominant, they dread karma and won’t personally take action.

But after defeat, when their disciples suffer heavy losses, who can guarantee they won’t personally enter the fray?

Once Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha personally enter, the Void Race has no means of countering.

Below Tier One are all ants; ants are helpless as such.

To put it bluntly, Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang’s attack on the Void Race is to achieve their predetermined goals.

If their disciples can help them achieve their predetermined goals, that is the best outcome.

If their disciples fail to help them achieve predetermined goals and suffer heavy losses, they will personally enter the fray to achieve those goals.

Otherwise, it would be a futile effort.

”Neither winning nor losing is possible, how should one cope?” The Void Race Second Elder said through gritted teeth.

After rising to a high position, the Void Race Second Elder realized just how arduous the Grand Elder’s role had been over the years.

The Void Race was truly surviving on the fringes.

The Grand Elder of the Void Race locked his eyes on the newly promoted Second Elder, saying solemnly: ”Endure through it!”

”Endure with minimal costs; the longer we hold out, the more beneficial it is to us.”

”Endure until the conflict between void and heaven bursts, where only Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang, and Yin Celestial Son confront each other. Then our Void Race will have hope to survive.”

Winning isn’t viable, losing isn’t viable.

Only by not winning nor losing.

How can one neither win nor lose? Without a doubt, enduring is the answer!

Endurance equals victory.

”Endure through...”

This statement from the Grand Elder of the Void Race echoed in the ears of the Void Race Second Elder.

The Void Race Second Elder fell into deep thought, his mind recalling the sixteen character strategy Lin Yuan had given him when leaving the heavens and earth.

”When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy halts, we disturb; when the enemy tires, we strike; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.”

Besides these sixteen characters, the Void Race Second Elder also recalled the Art of War that Lin Yuan had given him.

Previously, the defeat over Buddha’s encirclement tactic and the strategy of surrounding the point to attack reinforcements had come from the Art of War.

”Grand Elder, I think I have found a way!”

”Trust me, I can think of a solution!” The Void Race Second Elder shouted excitedly.
