Chapter 597 Support from the Demon Race

“Yes,” Li An admitted, explaining his current difficulties.Xu Zhiye’s eyes lit up immediately. “Kill the Heavenly Realm’s elite!?”He even excitedly cursed, “Damn it, of course I’ll go!”Li An was unaware that the crushing defeat of the Alliance at the Dao Source Ruins had fueled a burning desire among the geniuses of the Cultivation Temple.Super geniuses differ from ordinary people in one crucial way:Pride!Ambition!Actually, Li An was overthinking things.For geniuses like Zhao Shaolong and Xu Zhiye, if you told them it was about fighting the Heavenly Realm’s elite, they’d even be willing to pay to participate!This phone call lasted for half an hour.Because Xu Zhiye’s enthusiasm was extremely high, Li An frankly told him the approximate number of enemies and who he wanted to defend which war zone.Unexpectedly, upon hearing that the enemy numbers were astronomical, Xu Zhiye became even more excited, summarizing his words in three words—Kill! Kill! Kill! The surging tide of the Alliance was still churning in the hearts of the geniuses of the Cultivation Temple.Before they could vent their anger, Li An ended the competition. In the six months since returning to the Cultivation Temple to cultivate, that anger hadn't been extinguished; instead, it had grown even stronger!They craved battle, especially against the Celestial Realm!They wanted to prove their potential to the heavens, to make the Celestial Realm bleed rivers!Furthermore, Xu Zhiye's status was undeniable; he was the leader of the second-generation geniuses of the Human Realm.The team Li An had arranged for him consisted mostly of spoiled rich kids, such as his sister, totaling eight people. Assembling these people was a piece of cake for Xu Zhiye.Finally.The phone hung up.The second team was formed.The third team consisted of Cao Tianlian, Qin Xiaoye, and their group, which was even easier to arrange.Ten people in total, led by Li Shaoshu.Li An directly contacted Li Shaoshu and explained his entire plan to him."I'll send Lin He to your team too; yours should have the easiest time.""After the battle, you're free to act as you see fit. Everything is up to you."Li Shaoshu nodded emphatically, "No problem." After dealing with the three human teams, it was already past midnight. Li An took a sip of hot tea, took a deep breath, and continued contacting the next group.The demon race, Bai Jianxin!Now, Li An had no more reservations.The enemy had a full 200,000 troops, and more than half of them were elites from the Celestial Realm. Faced with this staggering number, Li An had long since forgotten about racial barriers.Who cares who they are? First, get the manpower together!But he couldn't act recklessly.After all, they were a group of super geniuses from the demon realm.They wouldn't even need to go through several procedures to enter the human realm, let alone stand on its borders.Now was the time to prove whether the Grand Marshal and the Starfire Domain Lord were truly devoted to the human race.Li An instructed Xu Zhiye to handle the paperwork.One hundred temporary top-tier passes.Top-tier passes: grant free entry and exit to the human realm and its front lines.These passes require dual certification from both the military and the Ministry of Education, something Xu Zhiye couldn't obtain alone.He could use his father's connections to get past the Ministry of Education, but he still had to get past the military.Li An's reason was that the genius from the Temple of Cultivation wanted to watch the military parade with him.He immediately asked for one hundred passes.This number made Xu Zhiye's scalp tingle; he exclaimed it was impossible."Then negotiate, keep negotiating, get as many as you can.""What if I can't get even one?""Then I'll have Bai Jianxin and the others wear masks, and I'll personally pick them up. We'll settle accounts afterward; remember to protect me." Special times call for special measures.Li An called Xiao Zhantian a child, but he wasn't actually that old.21 years old, not yet 22.At this age, there are no weaknesses, no taboos.Li An now only knew that if the border was lost, it wouldn't just be a simple breach of the border war zone; the dozens of border cities behind it would become a living hell.Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of humans would lose their lives.The enemy wasn't even human; they were a war machine, leaving no room for verbal maneuvering!Defeat meant total annihilation!Therefore, as long as Bai Jianxin and the others were willing to help him, regardless of whether their passes had been processed or not, he would do everything in his power to get them in!Then, Li An contacted Bai Jianxin. The two had a good relationship and had been exchanging insights on martial intent transformation every day.The call connected.Before Li An could even speak, he heard Lin Shijing's voice."Who's that in the middle of the night? Getting in the way."Bai Jianxin: "Connected.""Huh?""Shh." Upon hearing this, Li An quickly cleared his throat and said, "Hello, can you hear me?""The cross-dimensional communication signal is still not very good."The two understood each other implicitly.Bai Jianxin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I can hear you.""Brother Li, what is it?""Well..." Li An hesitated, then stopped.Bai Jianxin stood up, put on his clothes, looked at the alluring Lin Shijing lying on the bed, and smiled, "I'm going to the restroom."Lin Shijing rolled her eyes, thinking, what was there that she couldn't hear?A dozen seconds later, Bai Jianxin spoke again, "There's no one around me."Li An forced a smile, "Sorry to bother you so late."Bai Jianxin nodded, "It seems things are urgent.""What exactly happened?"Li An: "I'm going to fight here. The enemy is the Celestial Realm. I hope you can bring some demon geniuses to help me. I have good fortune and can help you achieve physical sainthood." A gentleman's friendship is open and honest; Li An made no attempt to hide anything.Bai Jianxin nodded and asked, "How many people do you need?"Li An replied in a deep voice, "As many trustworthy people as you can get."Bai Jianxin said, "Including myself, I can bring twelve people.""But I don't want the luck; I only want one thing.""As long as I can do it, just name your price," Li An said.Bai Jianxin: "Twelve permanent resident ID cards for the human realm." Li An's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. "The demon realm can't tolerate you anymore?" he asked.Bai Jianxin replied calmly, "Actually, I don't have any conflict of interest with those old fogies.""It's just that most demons are stubborn and foolish.""To prove their decision not to cultivate young people was correct, they constantly squeeze my living space and access to resources, preventing me from progressing.""Actually, the situation isn't that bad right now; it's just that I don't want to stay anymore."Li An said earnestly, "I trust you and your people. I can get twelve permanent resident ID cards for the human race.""But Lao Bai, to put it bluntly, this decision is treason.""Your parents are in the demon realm. What you're doing will definitely affect them, as well as yourself and the geniuses around you. Are you really mentally prepared to leave your homeland?"Although everyone had already anticipated Bai Jianxin's current predicament, no one expected him to make such a decisive decision. Bai Jianxin smiled and said, "My father, the White Dragon King, holds a high position and wields great power; he won't be affected by this at all.""The demon realm isn't a monolithic entity either. You know Lin of the White Water Sect, the child of our demon realm's lord.""The demon realm's lord was the first to send his own child away.""If those within the demon realm criticize me, wouldn't that be a veiled insult to the demon realm's lord?"Li An nodded silently, "That makes sense." Bai Jianxin said proudly, "I am a swordsman, and I know that an ancient swordsman of your human race once said something like this.""I like it very much.""Laughing loudly, I stride out the door! How can I, a man of such talent, be a mere commoner!"
