Capítulo 1319: Chapter 270: Medicine Modification

The brief meeting of the Unshacklers ended.

Except for McCarthy Larentra, everyone else closed the projection, and the cave returned to its dim appearance.

“Ji Xing, I will return in two days, and then we can meet. The Divine Presence Festival is coming, we must unite and resist together in order to hold onto even a sliver of hope.”

McCarthy said.

Simultaneously, he involuntarily glanced at the empty Magic Array beside him, sighed, and continued:

“The invasion of the Beast Race caught us off guard. If possible, let’s try to resolve the border troubles before the Divine Presence Festival to avoid distractions at that time.”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded and also cast his gaze towards the Array beside him.

He had long noticed McCarthy’s subconscious actions, causing curiosity to arise in his heart.

“Lessentara, within the Unshacklers Association, weren’t there initially more than six Holy Ones? Before I came, there ought to have been one more person here, right?”

McCarthy laughed, his laughter carrying some helplessness.

Fox’s expression turned to one of resentment.

“Haha, you noticed. Indeed, before you joined, there were actually seven individuals in the Unshacklers, but just a short while ago, that person suddenly left…”

“No, not left, betrayed! He’s a traitor!”

Fox said angrily.

McCarthy sighed and said:

“Alas, though I am reluctant to believe it, Fox is right; he indeed betrayed us…”

Zhang Xiaoman showed thoughtful expression.

“The person you’re referring to, is it the Beast King Urpis? The one currently sending troops to attack Adren?”

“Correct, that traitor! Betrayer!”

Fox said excitedly.

McCarthy gestured for him to restrain himself.

“According to my investigations, Urpis did indeed betray us. Not only did he leave the Unshacklers, but he also aimed to capture us and offer us personally to the Divine Ones. Fortunately, his plan failed, and none of us were caught in his trap.”

McCarthy revealed the truth, explaining why no silhouette appeared in the Array beside him.

Beast King Urpis had long since betrayed, and the present Beastman war was initiated by him, intending to appease the lofty Divine Ones.

“Haha, Urpis is still too naive. Does he think by doing this, those Divine Ones would spare him?”

Zhang Xiaoman fell into contemplation.

It seems the situation here is worse than he had imagined.

This so-called self-rescue alliance not only lacks complete trust among them, but it even has members who have defected.

In comparison, Water Blue Star is truly worlds apart from them.

“I’m very curious. Considering my origins, it shouldn’t fall within the realm of trust for you, right? Aren’t you afraid I might have ulterior motives?”

Zhang Xiaoman said.

McCarthy’s tone carried a touch of bitterness.

“Ji Xing, to be honest, the Unshacklers have reached a point of life and death, with the day of Divine Presence approaching, yet I have no confidence at all…”

“Our opponents are too powerful. Believe me, I witnessed the scene that day firsthand, and even now, there’s still no way to deal with them…”

“However, fleeing is not an option. Even though hope is slim, we cannot give up just like that. We must unite to survive the catastrophe, there’s no other path.”

His tone carried a trace of sincerity as he spoke these words.

“Luckily, you came. Although I don’t know your true origin, we have no other choice at this point but to trust you. This is a high-stakes gamble, and I have no choice but to make it…”

Zhang Xiaoman understood.

It seems these people have no other way out either; the pressure from the Divine Presence Festival is overwhelming, forcing them to choose to trust themselves.

“Ji Xing, I know asking this might be abrupt, but I still want to inquire, what is the world outside like?”

McCarthy asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.

Though he only existed in projection form now, unable to see his facial expressions, Zhang Xiaoman could still sense the anticipation in his gaze.

It was akin to a pet trapped in an enclosed space longing for the wonders of nature.

He frowned slightly, unsure of how to explain what a planet and the universe are to someone who still believes the world is flat and square.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiaoman slowly spoke:

“Beyond the world, there are countless other worlds. The place we live is similar to those stars you see, maybe in someone else’s view, the Erin Continent we reside on is merely one of the many stars.”

He thought his explanation was straightforward enough, avoiding mentions of a round earth or terms like gravity, planet, star system, hoping even the most primitive mind could understand.

However, what Zhang Xiaoman didn’t expect was, regardless of whether it was McCarthy in the projection or Fox listening alongside, both fell into silence upon hearing his words, Fox’s expression filled with deep confusion.

“Stars, Holy One… what do you mean by stars exactly?”
