Chapter 1757 - 150: Animals
"...The so-called doomsday prophecy merely signifies a war in which our world resists external forces, but due to the levels involved, the struggles within the world are often concealed beneath certain events. In the past, I travelled around just to resolve this doomsday prophecy, which also included my purpose for coming to the Wutong Tree back then. Valentina and the Phoenix’s pollution are closely linked to the doomsday prophecy."
Fisher looked towards Valentina on the throne, and she couldn’t help but recall that scarlet hue in the Gap,
"But now, this confrontation has reached a white-hot stage, a moment of life and death. The Scarlet Mist in the Sky above the South Continent is a symbol of the fierce burning protection of this world’s Gap. The God stationed there, Dalasgon, is now gravely injured, under siege by the Outer Realm’s chaos, with plans for his assassination. Elizabeth and Nali have chosen to side with Chaos, and all her previous actions were paving the way for achieving the ’Death Trinity’..."
Fisher laid out the broad outline previously discussed with the Cardinal of Destiny, and those present listened with furrowed brows. The other leaders were skeptical, seemingly disbelieving the existence of any doomsday prophecy.
Isn’t everyone dealing with international disputes involving Nali? How did it suddenly escalate to a world-ending level?

Kid, don’t tell me you’re using this as a cover-up for those past romantic debts that got uncovered?
However, Valentina, Alagina, and Baline, present at the scene, had become serious, especially Baline, who directly asked,
"Is it more severe than the ’Star War’ thousands of years ago?"
Fisher shook his head and shared the information passed down from the Moon Princess,
"Strictly speaking, the Stars are also part of our world. They reside outside the Gap in the Spirit Realm, originally distinct from our world. It is due to the Outer Realm’s invasion that even such powerful entities had to migrate, leading to the invasion of the Northern Realm and the Star War... In other words, should Dalasgon die and the Death Trinity be achieved, the situation we face will be thousands of times more severe than before."
"..."
Sometimes, explaining a concept that others can’t fully grasp can be aided by drawing a comparison to something familiar so that people empathize with it.
Mentioning ’Star War’ in front of the Six Clans is more effective than talking about the doomsday prophecy or Dalasgon.
A comprehension that simultaneously causes these leaders to explode in an uproar.
"...Even more severe than the Star War, doesn’t that mean, there’s no chance of winning?"
"Yes, back in those days, the entire Phoenix Clan was still around, and the Northern Realm was united, making preparations decades in advance, barely achieving a narrow victory. Nowadays..."
The Clan Leader of the Cloud Cat Species glanced at the solitary Valentina on the throne and couldn’t help but sigh,
"The entire Northern Realm has now fragmented, with people’s hearts not aligned. Lord Phoenix alone can hardly carry the burden, and everyone in this world has hidden agendas, not to mention a Nali that’s defected... Right now, we can’t even manage to infiltrate Nali City, let alone anything else..."
The Six Clans were generally hit with a wave of low spirits, whereas the group on Alagina’s side seemed a bit at a loss, neither Pahetz nor Ossie knew what the Star War was. Having been here for so long, she only remembered playing poker with Old Jack, let alone Isabel.
At this crucial moment, it was Valentina who interrupted the Cloud Cat Clan Leader’s speech, yet did not rebut, instead bringing up her conversation with the Moon Princess from four and a half years ago,
"...Actually, gentlemen, back then, the Phoenix Clan had a chance to survive, but you must know that the Phoenixes possess the eyes that can see through the future. The Moon Princess and her Mother resolved to sacrifice the entire clan to provide a sliver of hope to solve a potential unsolvable deadlock in future, realizing that this ’unsolvable deadlock’ was precisely the allegory of the doomsday prophecy...
"My ancestors have sacrificed everything for today, whether useful or not, in faith of their dedication, I believe we must attempt even against upcoming hardships. Besides, we haven’t reached the final moment yet, I, being a Phoenix haven’t seen the destined ending. How can any of you predict it?"
The Cloud Cat Clan Leader blinked slightly, then promptly lowered his head to humble himself,
"I spoke out of recklessness, Lord Phoenix."
"No worries, comprehensive consideration is necessary, raising issues holds no guilt. What’s important is not to shake the Wutong Tree’s determination to solve problems, be it the previous recapture of the Northern Realm against Nali or the current doomsday prophecy. What’s more, now it seems, the opponent both before and now involves Nali, only that now there’s an additional Outer Realm chaos..."
Valentina raised a hand, then smiled as she looked at Fisher, addressing him with decorum and questioning,
"Fisher, as I see it, the current key lies in preventing Dalasgon’s death, making Elizabeth’s Death Trinity unachievable, right? However, we lack understanding in this aspect; could you provide more clues?"
"Yes, this pertains to the chaotic carrier within the world..."
Fisher turned his head towards Valentina, as she blinked slowly in hindsight, seemingly not yet comprehending the meaning embedded within.
