"Old man, what's with that look?"
Chen Shu sensed something unusual, feeling rather unnatural.
"Nothing, just a little surprised."
The old man smiled slightly and continued, "I've indeed called you all here today for something, regarding the war."
"Old man, just say it, we're duty-bound!"
The King-level Beast Tamers below nodded, not only showing no hesitation but also a hint of excitement. The fall of the heroic spirits had deeply moved everyone, making them eager to contribute to the great war.
"Actually, it's quite simple."
The old man chuckled and said, "Although our morale has reached its peak, we still have a gap in hard power."
"Furthermore, and more importantly, the Fierce Beast Restricted Zone hasn't truly revealed its strength yet."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed no fear, their fighting spirit even intensifying.
"Old man, do you want us to go to the battlefield now?"
"No."
The old man shook his head and asked, "Chen Shu, if you were facing an enemy you couldn't defeat, what would be your first course of action?"
"Of course..."
"No running away!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched; he hadn't expected his answer to be predicted.
"Can't run?"
He was slightly taken aback, then said, "Then the second option is naturally to call for reinforcements."
"Precisely."
The old man nodded. "Besides our Huaguo, the Immortal Kingdom, Snow Country, and some medium-sized national powers have actually retained most of their combat strength, only temporarily hiding it."
"Now, in this critical juncture, I hope you can travel abroad and bring over the top combat forces of the other human powers."
The crowd fell silent, their eyes filled with contemplation.
Seeing this, the old man spoke, "You can voice any concerns."
"Is this going to work..."
One person mumbled, "The current situation is dire, basically a nine-in-ten chance of death. Others might not..."
"Don't worry."
The old man's expression was calm. "This is a crucial moment. If we fall, the other human powers won't survive either."
"Moreover, they must have seen what happened with the Dragon Abyss heroic spirits."
"Humans will unite now!"
The crowd nodded, no longer worried about this issue.
"Old man, if we go abroad, will the other Beast Emperors take advantage of the situation..."
They were all King-level combatants, and the Beast Tamers they brought back would also be top-tier experts. They didn't fear ordinary fierce beasts.
Their only concern was the intervention of Legendary-level Beast Emperors.
"They wouldn't dare."
Just then, Chen Shu spoke up, smiling.
"The current Beast Emperors probably have to consider the old man's mood even when throwing a single skill."
"That's right, there's no need to worry about that."
The old man glanced at Chen Shu and nodded.
After several incidents, the old man had intimidated the various Beast Emperors and continuously lowered their bottom line, exploiting their fear of death.
Currently, none of the Beast Emperors dared to make a move, fearing they would be the first to be brutally eliminated.
Under the old man's plan, humanity united, morale soared to its peak, and the Beast Emperors were repeatedly suppressed by him, daring not to make any rash moves.
Although the old man had never truly engaged in battle from beginning to end, he had always controlled the overall situation, being the true core figure.
"Old man, but there's still a major issue."
At this moment, Chen Shu's brow furrowed, and he spoke, "Aren't you worried about internal problems?"
Currently, they were united and didn't need to worry about any internal issues. However, if other human powers were introduced, things might become unpredictable.
"We only need to bring back King-level powerhouses. I will inspect them one by one!"
The old man smiled slightly. "There won't be any problems."
The crowd then nodded, their concerns put to rest.
"Old man, in that case, shall we set off?"
With no more worries, the group was ready to act.
"You can depart!"
The old man nodded. "The official channels have assigned you the countries and powers you are responsible for. Bring my letter of introduction as well; I believe no one will make things difficult for you."
At this moment, Chen Shu spoke again.
"Do we need to invite the Legendary Beast Tamers back as well?"
"You sure are thinking ahead, kid."
The old man was slightly surprised. "A legendary battle can't be sparked now, and they wouldn't come."
"Is that so..."
Chen Shu nodded and said no more.
At this point, the old man said, "Chen Pi, Old Ning, you two have spatial contract spirits, so your mission is the heaviest. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's fine."
Chen Shu shrugged. "I'll let the rabbit handle it."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Since there's no combat involved, the rabbit is enough to bring them back."
"???"
The expressions of the crowd froze; they didn't understand for a moment.
"You're not going yourself?"
"I have my own matters to attend to."
Chen Shu said calmly, "It's already a mature contract spirit and can carry out missions independently."
"..."
No one had expected him to let his contract spirit go alone.
Except for Legendary Beast Tamers, no one dared to do this. After all, entrusting matters to a contract spirit was always a bit unsettling.
If any accident occurred, it would be truly regrettable.
Chen Shu waved his hand. "Don't worry, if there are any problems, I'll personally control it."
"Hm?"
The old man blinked. "No matter how far apart, you can still maintain telepathic connection with your contract spirit?"
"Uh... you can't?"
"..."
The crowd was stunned, looking as if he was joking.
"Kid, have you achieved the state of human-spirit fusion?"
The old man narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Chen Shu, subtly guessing something.
"Just a stroke of luck, a stroke of luck!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression jolted, their eyes filled with shock.
Wasn't this a realm exclusive to legends?
"Good kid!"
The old man nodded, a ripple of emotion passing through him.
"In that case, let your rabbit depart alone!"
A moment later, he calmed down, no longer worried, and directly agreed to Chen Shu's approach.
At once, everyone got up, ready to set off on their missions, not even intending to rest for a moment.
"Go for it, do a good job!"
Chen Shu summoned the rabbit and said earnestly,
"Young contract spirits need to be tempered more!"
