Chapter 834: Three Phases Return to One
Saibayar said without hesitation: "Yes, I am inclined towards Nordland, but Nordland is far enough away from us that we can borrow their power, but they cannot effectively control us. This way we have enough space for autonomy instead of being held hostage by them in every aspect.
Furthermore, they will spare no effort to support us in our fight against the Dashun, giving us more opportunities to develop our own technology and industry."
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. In order to cope with a major collision, major powers are now concentrating resources as much as possible, but this has actually formed a kind of competition among major powers. In order not to fall behind or make other countries too powerful, major powers are trying to trip each other up, so that small countries become victims caught in the middle.
They usually need to provide various resources to major powers, and at the same time are pushed to the front by major powers to compete, which is indeed quite embarrassing.
Saibayar continued, "Oh, now that I think about it, maybe Zhen Guan already knew about my return, so he's been hiding and waiting for his chance. You win this round."
Shinkansu said it was the fighter from the central city of Balktu.
Chen Chuan thought about it and had a different opinion on this.
The offshore intelligence department of Dashun had no idea that this person had returned, and it was impossible for Balktu to know about it. Even if they really knew about it, they would definitely inform him in advance and would not deliberately conceal it.
Because the other party was not sure of his strength, they didn't dare to let him face two fighters alone. If something really went wrong, Dashun would definitely hold him accountable.
Saibayar suddenly said, "Do you know why Tamur was willing to die at my hands?" Without waiting for Chen Chuan to ask, he continued, "It was because of the gathering of the three phases.
In the "Pushanwen Sutra" of our Besa people, the one who established the god is Shakyamuni, who transformed into three forms, namely Mahabhuṇī, Marika and Virūpākṣa.
The three of us will each practice one of these three forms of the Heavenly King and Heavenly Maiden. When the three forms merge into one, we can achieve the state of liberation, greatly enhancing our original power level. If I can obtain Tamur's power this time, I can go back and make Zhen Guan hand over his power. Then the Besa Khanate will no longer be a small country!
Chen Chuan understood it now. He couldn't say whether the three-phase aggregation could reach a higher level, but it was possible to transcend the current level.
Fighters also have different strengths. If a strong fighter appears, he or she will indeed have a certain say, and may even be able to expand the territory of some countries.
For the three phases to become one, two of them need to be sacrificed. I believe all three of them have this idea, and this time an opportunity just happened to appear.
He looked at the person on the ground and said, "This should be your secret. Why are you telling me?"
Saibayar said, "We are the losers in this game. Zhen Guan will definitely take our power and use it to achieve his own goals. So what will you choose? Kill us, or take us back?"
Chen Chuan understood. No wonder the other party was willing to tell him this. If the two people were killed directly, it would be detrimental to the public opinion of Dashun and would give other countries an opportunity to intervene.
If he is not killed, then in the end it is possible that Zhen Guan will be the one who benefits. But at that point, when he has enough power, will he still listen to the Dashun government?
But in the final analysis, it was Saibayar who didn't want to die and didn't want him to be taken back, so he told him this.
He said, "I will not kill you, nor will I leave you here. I will take you to Balktu. I have done what I should do. What follows is your own business, the Besa people. You should solve it yourselves."
Saibayar was startled and seemed very resistant. He said, "I thought you would consider the interests of Dashun. You would not do this."
Chen Chuan said: "That's not necessary."
Saibaya seemed to understand and said, "Do you think that even if the three phases were united, they would have enough power to suppress us? Then you are underestimating the power of the three phases. Moreover, once power reaches a certain level, it cannot be solved by simple suppression by force. It must also be respected. I dare say that once Zhen Guan gains power, he will definitely not respect you as much as before, and he will be wooed by more countries."
Chen Chuan said: "If you say so, then isn't that beneficial to your country?"
Saibaya was silent for a moment.
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Although I don't know what level your power will reach after it is unified, what I do know is that if such a power appears, there must be a supply of resources to match it.
But from what I know, the Besa Khanate is already stretched thin with just one or two fighters. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to go abroad. And after the three phases merge, the costs will be even greater, and you simply can't afford them. You'll eventually have to seek help from outside. The Besa Khanate is right next to our Dashun, and the cost of supporting you is far lower than other countries. So, I believe that even when the time comes, the situation won't change much."
After hearing this, Saibayar's face changed slightly and he fell silent.
Chen Chuan looked up at the sky. Under the pressure of the huge collision, a large number of fighters were actually stimulated to emerge. In order to support these fighting forces, the whole world began to integrate passively. Therefore, after the collapse of the great alliance, superpowers and regional forces could be seen emerging.
Small countries like the Bessa Khanate only exist as a buffer zone between the big countries. The number of fighters they can support must be limited to a few, and the level cannot be too high. If the fighters themselves are high, they still have to seek help from big countries to support their own resources, so no matter how they struggle, it is useless.
He turned around and walked outside. After a look around, he found a fully fueled off-road vehicle downstairs. He then went back upstairs, brought the two people down, put them in the car, and drove back.
More than two hours later, the strong wind gradually eased, and he reunited with Chao Ming. Then, under Chao Ming's guidance, he found the driver who was rushing here. When the latter learned that he had finished his business, he was very happy. He quickly took out the radio to send a message to the back, and then rushed back with him.
At dawn the next day, Chen Chuan saw the light coming from the inner city circle of Balktu from afar.
It looked like a huge disk of fire had fallen on the mountain, and the buildings scattered around it were also emitting tiny dots of light. It looked very prosperous, and other places in the Bessa Khanate could not compare with it at all.
At this time, a hot air balloon spewing colorful smoke that he had seen before flew out of the city and headed towards here. After getting close, it slowly landed.
Chen Chuan also stopped the car.
After the hot air balloon came to a stop, a man wearing traditional Bessa Khanate robes walked down from it. It was Master Zhen Guan, who was regarded as a god in the central city of Balktu.
This man has an elegant appearance and well-maintained skin. Judging from his appearance, he is only about 30 years old. He does not look like a fighter at all, but more like a religious scholar buried in scriptures.
He performed a Zen teaching ceremony towards Chen Chuan and said gently in very standard Dashun dialect, "Mr. Chen, thank you for resolving this difficult issue. I would be honored to invite you to visit the Balktu Palace."
Chen Chuan said, "No need. I have already received the things that the country entrusted me to take. I need to take them back as soon as possible. The person is from your country of Besakhan. I hand him over to you. Master Zhenguan, you can deal with him yourself."
Zhen Guan glanced at the two of them and bowed respectfully to Chen Chuan, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for showing mercy."
Saibayar then said sarcastically, "Zhen Guan, you don't have to act like this. The three of us swore an oath that whoever defeats the other two would have the right to devour their power and become Shi Yi. Now you have won. Although you have borrowed the power of Dashun, we, the Besa Khans, value both strength and wisdom. Since you are the winner, it is your turn to do this."
"I have to ask for the release of one, so what?"
Shinkansu sighed.
"That would only increase the burden on the Bessa Khanate. Our land is only enough to support one person, and the other person can barely get a share. If that's not the case, you don't have to go out and find other ways."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "Mr. Chen, I have benefited from this, but I say this. Does it make you feel hypocritical? But I also know that even if I have this military force, I can't change the top-down order of the country. If you want to change it, you must first destroy it. Destruction is easy, but it is difficult to establish it again.
How can a weak and bleeding beast resist the covetousness of tigers and wolves?
My Bessa Khanate only seeks to lean on a big tree, to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so that it may survive for a few more years, but I dare not think about anything else."
Chen Chuan knew that this was his statement. Regardless of whether it was true or false, the higher-ups would take it into consideration. He said, "I will take the Master's words back with me truthfully."
Shinkansu said, "Then I won't keep Mr. Chen any longer. I'll have someone see him off. Also, it's very rude of me not to have him properly greeted when he came to our country. So I've had someone prepare some gifts as a small token of my apology. I hope Mr. Chen won't refuse."
Chen Chuan did not refuse. After handing the person over to Zhen Guan, he called out to Chao Ming who was flying in the sky, got into the car of his fellow driver, and left here quickly.
Zhen Guan watched him leave, bowed to him respectfully, and did not stand up for a long time.
Saibayar said sarcastically from behind: "Well, the person has already left. You don't need to act so hard."
Shinkansu didn't explain anything, but walked back and untied the bonds on him and Tamur.
Saibayar was very surprised. He said doubtfully, "You, you don't plan to..."
Zhen Guan took two steps back, lowered his eyes and said, "With you outside, Da Shun will help me."
Saibayar was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "You're quite straightforward." He thought for a moment, "Zhenguan, although what you said to that person just now makes sense, you don't have to worry about it. There are ways to obtain cultivation resources. I know there is one..."
Shinkansu sighed, "Have you contacted them?"
Saibayar said, "They approached me first and offered to provide resources, so why wouldn't I accept them? A massive collision could happen at any moment, and who knows what will happen then?"
Zhen Guan said: "Whether it is Dashun or Nordland, they are not people we can easily manipulate or deceive. Do you think you can't do it without me?
Over the past few decades, Dashun has recruited many people from us for training. If we do anything too extreme, someone will come to replace us."
Saibayar was startled. His expression changed several times. He said unwillingly, "So there's nothing we can do? Nothing can be changed?"
Zhen Guan said: "The Bessa Khanate has tried in the past, but even if they gained some benefits when the East Continent was weak, so what? They still had to give it back. It's not what we deserve, so there's no need to think too much about it, unless..."
He looked up at the sky. "If the world changes drastically, there might still be a glimmer of hope. But by then, who can say what the situation will be like?"
