Zhang Jue was a wise and crafty man. He was also furious when Megan had injured him. However, after he had
calmed down, he analyzed the situation carefully and decided to get Yang Jian to send someone to persuade them
to surrender.
The two sides had been in a standoff in Mid City for more than ten days. The World Universe might seem strong, but
they were at their wit’s end. If someone were to persuade them to surrender at that moment, they could certainly
be swayed.
Wow!
At that moment, everyone in the main hall erupted into an uproar. They were shocked and furious.
“Gonggong!”
Dax, with his hot-tempered character, was the first to lose it. He yelled angrily at Gonggong, “Take this stupid piece
of paper and f*ck off! Tell Yang Jian that even if we were the last people in the World Universe, we would never
surrender.”
Many of them agreed with Dax.

“Yes, the people of the World Universe are not afraid of death.”
“Leave!”
Everyone yelled angrily. Gonggong was extremely furious. She clenched her fist tightly, and her body trembled.
She was cold and arrogant—she was the Water God. Whoever saw her would always treat her with respect. Yet, at
that moment, so many had yelled at her. How could she take it?
However, Gonggong suppressed her anger when she thought about Yang Jian’s orders.
Then, she ignored the crowd’s yells and looked at Darryl closely. Finally, she opened her mouth and said, “Darryl, an
outstanding person will be able to acknowledge the current situation. Even if you have Megan’s help to counter
Zhang Jue’s formations, the disparity of power between the North Moana Army and your army is too enormous. You
got lucky twice, but you can’t continue winning.
“If you decide to continue to be stubborn and aggravate His Majesty, then the only people who would suffer are the
common folks. Also, many of your continent’s cultivators and the Carter family disciples are in our hands. Could you
bear to watch them die?”
Then, Gonggong calmed her tone. She continued to say, “Furthermore, His Majesty said that if you sign the Letter
of Surrender and agree to submit to him, he would let all your men go and appoint you as the emperor of the World
Universe. Darryl, this is an extremely generous deal. I hope you will consider it.
“The future of the entire World Universe depends on your decision. I know you are a smart person. You would make
the right choice!”
When she was done, Gonggong looked at Darryl’s reaction quietly and calmly.
Darryl did not say anything. Instead, he frowned a little and started to contemplate the idea.
Woo!
At that moment, the entire main hall was in utter silence. Everyone was looking at Darryl.
“Very well!”
After a long time, Darryl snapped back to his senses and took a deep breath. Then, he looked at Gonggong and
said, “I’ll sign the letter!”
When he said that, Darryl’s eyes seemed helpless, but they also had hints of profound meaning in them.
What?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone was shocked. They looked at Darryl in disbelief.
“Darryl!”
Dax was the first one to react. He stood up and yelled at Darryl, “Are you nuts? We have held on for so long and
sacrificed so much so that Mid City would not fall into their hands. So why are you giving up now? Don’t tell me that
our men died for nothing?”
Dax got even more agitated. Finally, he said with reddened eyes, “When the New World Army invaded us, have you
forgotten how hard we resisted them? Also, have you forgotten why you founded the Elysium Gate Sect in the first
place? Tell me! Tell me!”
Everyone there was extremely agitated as well due to Dax’s yells. They looked at Darryl in scrutiny.
“Dax!”
Chester pulled Dax toward him and said gently, “Calm down. Let’s hear what Darryl says.”
Chester had always been far-sighted and had a calm temperament. He knew that Darryl would not give up so
easily. There must be some other reason behind his decision when he agreed to that.
That was right—Darryl only pretended to agree to Gonggong. He did not want to surrender.
