Chapter 669: Chapter 669 – Appearance
“Your Majesty…”
Looking at Philip, who seemed a little thin, Lu Yao pondered for a moment, then solemnly said, “I feel that the time has come. In the galaxy, the cultivation methods of this world have been improved and popularized. As a result, geniuses are appearing in every part of this world. Isn’t it the right time now?”
“You want to let the people there enter this world on a large scale?” Philip’s figure did not move. Only his indifferent and hoa.r.s.e voice was heard.
“That’s right.” Lu Yao nodded and solemnly said, “We have acc.u.mulated too many talents within this long period, more than enough for us even to take over this world completely. Those with the ‘knight’ t.i.tle couldn’t advance because they didn’t have a stone tablet. Why don’t we let them enter this world and make a breakthrough? In that case, we can have more people and don’t need to rely on the cultivators of this world.” Looking at Philip, Lu Yao made her suggestion.
She was not Chen Heng, so she naturally did not know the true situation of this world. She also did not know the purpose of Chen Heng letting the Star Alliance enter this world.
Therefore, her suggestion was from a reality perspective, hoping that more powerhouses from the Star Alliance would enter this world and complete their breakthrough. On the one hand, this was a practical need, and on the other hand, it was also to alleviate the shortage of manpower in this world.
In the initial world, due to the difference in the flow of time in the world, quite a long period had pa.s.sed when Chen Heng was in the world of G.o.ds. The Star Alliance ruled the entire universe during this long period, and many talents and Heavenly Gifted Individuals were born. Among them, many had the potential to become kings.
Owing to the complete mechanism and the fact that they were not suppressed like the Round Table, over a long period, more than a dozen people of the knight-level existences in the Star Alliance had already broken through.
These people were all existences with the potential to become kings. However, due to the limited number of stone tablets in that world, they could not break through the world’s restrictions and advance to the seventh rank.
Therefore, with these people’s talent, once they entered this world, they would surely be able to easily make a breakthrough and reach the Heavenly Venerate level of this world.
At the same time, this world’s cultivation methods had also been pa.s.sed down over the past hundred years and started to be popularized. The organizational power of the initial s.p.a.ce far surpa.s.sed that of the so-called holy land of this world. Like the compulsory education in the previous life, the cultivation methods can be popularized too. At that time, with the population in the galaxy, the number of Heavenly Gifted Individuals that would emerge from them was imaginable.
All of these required sufficient resources and environment to arrange. This was also one of the reasons why Lu Yao wanted to increase her pace. Because, in theory, they did not need to fear anything with such powerful strength and could directly occupy a wider area.
Of course, she could not bypa.s.s Philip before her even if she wanted to complete all of these. After Chen Heng left back then, Philip was the true leader of the Star Alliance. Although he didn’t usually manage any affairs, no one could ignore him once he spoke out.
After all, this was not only the incarnation left behind by Chen Heng but also the incarnation of the world’s consciousness from that world. His strength was unparalleled, and no one was his match. If he wanted to, he could wipe out the entire Star Alliance by himself and establish a brand new organization.
“You don’t understand…” Listening to Lu Yao’s words, Philip was silent for a moment, then said, “We can’t avoid one person if we want to complete all of this…”
“That Hao Hua Sect Leader?” Lu Yao instantly understood what Philip meant and nodded in agreement. “Indeed.”
She did not know the Hao Hua Sect Leader’s true ident.i.ty and thought he was merely a local powerhouse in this world because the Hao Hua Sect Leader was also a super figure like Philip. So, if they couldn’t get rid of the Hao Hua Sect Leader, it would be useless no matter how hard they tried.
“What if I have a way to get rid of him?” In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded with an inexplicable indifference.
“Who!” Lu Yao’s expression instantly changed drastically.
This was the Star Alliance’s headquarters. There were king-level rune arrays everywhere, and there were even seals that Philip had personally set up. Ordinary people couldn’t have entered.
A pale arm stretched out from the void and instantly grabbed Lu Yao’s body. It appeared to be just an ordinary arm, but it gave Lu Yao the feeling that a divine mountain was suppressing her. She was unable to resist even with her current strength.
However, at the critical moment, the pale arm stopped when Philip at the side had already looked over. Countless years had pa.s.sed, but Philip was still the same as before. He was very old, and his body was thin. However, his eyes showed a lofty indifference, as if he was a supreme G.o.d, standing above everything in the mortal world.
He looked at the void and instantly understood everything. He immediately grabbed the black hand. A figure appeared at the same time, looking like a man. However, his entire body was shrouded in a hazy layer of chaos. It was impossible to see his actual appearance. One could only feel the flow of aura.
“Who is it?” Only then did Lu Yao react, looking at the figure before her with fear.
“Guess who am I.” A hoa.r.s.e voice came from ahead and sounded very clear in all directions.
He did not look at Lu Yao; instead, he stared at Philip. It seemed that he did not place Lu Yao in his eyes. Indeed. Lu Yao’s current strength, comparable to the peak of the seventh rank, was just so-so and deemed nothing compared to the others.
Philip’s expression changed, then he nodded and said, “I heard that when the Hao Hua Sect Leader broke through, someone attacked him. I believe it was you.”
As he spoke, Lu Yao’s expression changed. She knew who he was, and she instantly became wary. Although the matter of Chen Heng transcending the tribulation was a secret, and only a small number of Heavenly Venerates knew about it at that time, a small number of Heavenly Venerates could have leaked the news. Anyhow, the news was limited to the Heavenly Venerates extent only.
A full one to two hundred years had pa.s.sed. Now, those at the Heavenly Venerate level and above in the cultivation world were aware of the situation at that time and knew about the existence of that black hand.
Even though the Star Alliance was an external force, they had continuously conquered the local holy lands over the years. They were also constantly fusing with this world, so they naturally would be aware of some information.
Lu Yao was instantly vigilant. Her true spirit was secretly connected with the initial stone tablet, and she was already prepared to attack personally. The initial stone tablet was proof that the initial world needed to advance to the king level.
In essence, it was one of the origins of that world. Therefore, if it was used as a weapon, it could display a powerful effect, and its power would not be inferior to this world’s Earth Heavenly Weapon.
However, in the face of Lu Yao’s actions, that person only glanced at her and smiled, “Is this the Star Alliance’s way of treating guests from afar?”
“We naturally have our ways of treating guests, the Star Alliance’s way…” In front, Philip’s gaze was fixed on the person before him. His eyes were simple and unruffled, as if they had no emotions. “It’s just that I don’t know if you are an evil guest…”
“That depends on you, the Star Alliance Leader’s opinion.” The black shadow smiled and said, “I came with good intentions. As for whether or not to accept it, that is up to you.”
“Came with good intentions?” Lu Yao sneered and interrupted, “You don’t even dare to show your true face to others. On what basis do you expect us to believe you have good intentions?”
“That’s true.” The black shadow nodded and suddenly changed after thinking for a moment.
A Dao rhyme flowed out from its body, and then its body suddenly changed. The originally hazy feeling slowly dissipated. A pure ripple spread. The black shadow’s appearance was revealed completely.
From the surface, this was the appearance of a middle-aged man, looking ordinary and unremarkable. If it were not because the situation was not right, under normal circ.u.mstances, even if Lu Yao saw him, she would probably have completely ignored him and not noticed him. Based on common sense, this was not very likely.
During cultivation, cultivators would gradually sublimate their essence. Thus, even if their appearance were ordinary at the beginning when their cultivation level was high, their appearance would sublimate and become far more extraordinary.
However, the man before her looked like a mortal, giving others an ordinary and unremarkable vibe. It was unknown if this situation was intentional or if it was the case.
“You came here for the Hao Hua Sect Leader?” Philip spoke once again after a moment of silence. His hoa.r.s.e and indifferent voice sounded across the area.
The middle-aged man nodded. “That’s right. I believe you already know the origin of my relations.h.i.+p with the Hao Hua Sect Leader. The Hao Hua Sect Leader will be the biggest obstacle if your Star Alliance wants to dominate this world. As long as I get rid of him, I can get rid of a big problem for you. Then, you can also dominate this world and occupy everything. How does that sound?” He looked at Philip and said with a smile.
“It sounds pretty good.” However, Philip did not express his thoughts about the middle-aged man’s words.
Meanwhile, Lu Yao, at the side, fell into deep thought. On the surface, what the middle-aged man said was true. If they, the Star Alliance, wanted to dominate this world, the Hao Hua Sect Leader, whose cultivation was comparable to Philip’s, was indeed the biggest obstacle. Therefore, if they could work together with the middle-aged man and get rid of him, it would indeed be beneficial.
However, there was another problem.
“What’s in it for you?”
