Chapter 1760 I Want One Too
Luina felt a chill on her back once she heard that. "Are you crazy?! Do you want to make enemies out of all of our Jamai Sect disciples?"
Roan looked at Luina as if he was looking at an idiot. Well, he probably thought she was an idiot even before that, like everyone else. "How do you expect to conquer all the regions with a loose power like this? There"s no way we can achieve anything if every single disciple of the Jamai Sect decided to command however they like. If you want to win this compet.i.tion, there"s only one choice. You need to swallow them all!"
Rean agreed with Roan. He might not be as good as him at strategies, but he was definitely much better than the rest. "Roan"s right, Luina. We have to conquer our own allies before we can conquer anything else."
"Bu-But how will you do that?" Luina couldn"t help but ask. "I might be one of the top geniuses of my sect, but my cultivation is still far from the Peak Stage of the s.p.a.ce Bending Realm. There are plenty of disciples here who are stronger than me. Not to mention that if we really succeed in conquering one or two countries, the others might feel afraid and band together to stop us. No, there"s more. We need the disciples of our sect to fight against the other regions" disciples when the time for conquering comes. If we get rid of them, who"ll fight?"
Roan then replied, "You"re so naive, little girl. You still haven"t noticed the main point of the rules given by the old man from the Rambram Sect."
"Main point?" Luina was still confused.
Rean answered in Roan"s place instead, telling her, "If it"s not in the rules, then it"s not against them."
"So?" Luina was still as confused as ever.
Rean smiled as he put a finger in front of his lips. "You will find out soon enough."
Luina"s mouth twitched after that. Wasn"t she the boss here? They should tell her all their plans beforehand! "You two are hateful!"
Roan looked at Luina with a serious expression. "It"s up to you to believe us or not. If you wish to take command and do things your own way, we won"t stop you. You know it very well. All we wanted was to come to the center of the Realm of G.o.ds. Now that we"re here, we don"t really have a reason to get involved in this mess." Sure enough, he didn"t say anything about the new quest from the system. First of all, Luina didn"t even know the system existed.
Well, Luina did know Roan, so... "Of course, I trust you! Fine! I"ll be the crazy one and ask for the centermost continent if Hilanshi allows it."
Well, all those words were exchanged through Divine Sense, so no time at all pa.s.sed in the present.
Hilanshi didn"t seem to be worried about it. "Who cares? I"m just allocating the countries. The ones who will decide which country each one will receive is up to you."
Sure enough, the Rambram Sect left it for the powers themselves to decide. It could already be called a test itself.
Well, Luina wasn"t going to enter the fight for the border countries. "Hi, hi, hi! I want the centermost country! Does anyone here have anything against it? If you do, I don"t mind fighting for it."
Hilanshi faintly smiled after hearing that. "That girl is the boss of the boy who asked if you can attack other countries. I wasn"t expecting much from Jamai Sect as they were ranked quite low within the 57 powers. However, perhaps I"m wrong." Of course, Hilanshi knew it was too early to consider anything else, so he stopped his train of thoughts there.
The other disciples looked at each other after hearing that. They were obviously going to fight if necessary. They all wanted the border countries. However, none of them seemed interested in the continents far away from it.
"I have no objection."
"Me neither."
"She can have whichever that country is."
In the end, everything went according to plan. No one was against Luina taking the centermost country. If anything, they looked down on her for choosing the safest spot. After all, that"s not how a Jamai Sect disciple should act.
It was then that Luina received a Divine Sense message from Leticia, the girl Luina said was her friend. "Luina, why would you select such a place?"
Luina looked at Leticia and pondered as to whether she should tell what Roan told her. In the end, she asked Roan"s permission first. "Can I tell her?"
Roan nodded, replying, "It is not a secret anyway. Sooner or later, everyone will notice what we"re trying to do."
Luina was happy to hear that and immediately told Leticia. "What?! Are you crazy?!"
Luina found it funny how Leticia had the same reaction as herself. However, she continued to explain the situation with her Divine Sense, just like Roan did to her. "That"s about it. If we want to win this compet.i.tion, we must have everyone allied under the same banner. We must have a leading power that everyone else will follow."
Leticia narrowed her eyes as well. "You"re not intelligent enough to come up with such a thing. Was it your subordinate who gave you the idea?"
Luina almost vomited blood after hearing that. First Roan, now even her friend was calling her an idiot. "Are you looking for a fight?!"
Leticia smiled in response. "I"m joking, I"m joking. But... I"m not wrong, am I?"
Luina could only nod in the end. "Haah... yes, you"re not. Without a doubt, my subordinates are heads and shoulders above everyone else when it comes to governing and leading an army."
Leticia already expected that. "Well, I"m one of the very few sect members that know the truth about your hybrid blood. There were more developed continents for you to find your subordinates, but you selected that forsaken one. I trust your karma reading."
Soon after, Leticia raised her hand and said, "I want a country in the center as well, one beside Luina."
