"That's how it happened." Lin Feng gave a general account: "Xian Qin's speed was faster than I thought. Just as the Heavenly Court sealed off the area, the Primordial Ancestor came to spy on us. I was intercepted at the South Heavenly Gate and then ran all the way here."
Yuan Qixuan immediately said, "It seems they have long set their sights on the Heavenly Court."
"Indeed, I was startled when I came out too." Si Zang chimed in, shouting, "If we hadn't run fast, the Xian Qin fleet would have surrounded us."
"Where's Wu Ming? They haven't reacted at all?" Tang Hong stopped Si Zang and asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Don't think about them anymore. Our contact with Wu Ming basically stopped when they rescued us from Xian Qin."
"Huh? Just like that, we give up?" Everyone was incredulous.
"Yes." Lin Feng replied quickly: "You can treat them as trustworthy partners, but don't treat them as our backers. Our paths are different from theirs."
"Brother, you've changed your mind too quickly." Zhong Yang couldn't help but complain, "I was hoping that the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Dao could help us, but now you've abandoned Wu Ming too. Now we're all alone, how can we possibly defeat them?"
"Yes, with such a good situation, are we really not going to pay any more attention to it?" Sun He couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that there aren't any..." Lin Feng glanced around and quietly reminded them, "Those guys from Fire Cloud Cave are our allies."
"Hehe, you don't know, do you?" Si Zang jumped up again, grabbed Lin Feng, made him open the Ghost Domain, and led everyone inside: "Him, do you know who he is?"
Si Zang pointed at the figures within the ghost realm and loudly proclaimed, "Chi You, Chi You who understands the power of will, as well as Xing Tian and Han Ba!"
"You've won them over?" Sun He's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but lean closer.
Putting everything else aside, the name Chi You alone stirred up many thoughts in his mind.
"Chi You, the Lord of War, greets all my young friends." Chi You bowed to everyone in a refined manner, and Sun He, who was closest to him, immediately returned the gesture.
"Alright, alright, stop standing there, our plan is about to begin!" Si Zang grabbed Tang Hong and Sun He and walked to Chi You's side, then waved to Lin Feng: "Suibian, quick, tell me our plan!"
"Um..."
Lin Feng followed them in, glancing at the Primordial Ancestor and the immortals outside who were engaged in a fierce battle, before sitting down beside them: "Let me first explain my plan. I want King Zhou to win!"
"King Zhou won?" The crowd grew even more curious.
"Aren't you going to see King Zhou?" Yu Sheng immediately asked.
"Of course we must see him!" Lin Feng said decisively. "We not only need to see him, but we also need to do our utmost to assist him!"
"What...what good is this for us?" Sun He couldn't help but ask. "It doesn't seem to help us complete our mission."
Although the direction was clear, Sun He did not believe that the final outcome would lead them down the path of assisting King Zhou.
"Simply put, it's about making the current King Zhou, who can command the world, win, so that humanity, as they desire, truly becomes something comparable to the Heavenly Dao!" Lin Feng explained, "Making the Three Religions tremble with fear, making the Immortal Qin retreat, and making the Martial Ming take it seriously!"
"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that King Zhou has broken through his original limitations and can cultivate the Dao?" Yuan Qixuan had a flash of inspiration: "Isn't this the same as creating a King Zhou with a higher martial spirit?"
"Yes and no." Lin Feng shook his head: "What's the point of creating another dynasty like the Immortal Qin and Wu Ming? Constantly plundering resources, frantically conquering the world, becoming a never-ending devouring machine?"
"Is the Immortal Qin Dynasty still the Immortal Qin Dynasty without Qin Shi Huang?"
"Without Zhu Yuanzhang, would the Wu Ming Dynasty still possess its current deterrent power?"
"It's not wrong to place our emotions on one person, but hope should never be focused on just one person."
"Of course, King Zhou would have the opportunity to become such an emperor, provided that he could actually reach that point."
"Brother, your requirements are too high!" Zhong Yang sighed, having chosen the most difficult one after much deliberation.
Difficult... but actually not that difficult...
“Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to escape Xianqin. Without Wu Ming, I would have been captured long ago.” Hearing Zhong Yang’s words, Lin Feng sighed, “Si Cang always hopes that I can control the overall situation. I never thought I could do that. Without Tang Hong’s support, I could not have easily established myself at the Di level.”
"With the help of Sun He, the assistance of Wen Chen, the dedication of Si Tao, and the perseverance of Yu, I wouldn't be standing here right now."
"So, if we really pin our future on one person, can China truly become what we hope for?"
"Alright, alright, stop getting sentimental. Whatever, tell me about King Zhou." Si Zang feigned emotion, grabbed Lin Feng's shoulder, and urged, "Quickly tell me about helping him, or I'll start crying. Am I the only burden you have?"
"You're the laziest," Tang Hong cursed.
“King Zhou…” Lin Feng spoke up, glancing at Si Zang who wasn’t arguing with Tang Hong, and added with a smile, “With you backing us up, we can act with peace of mind.”
"Haha, really!" Si Zang couldn't help but laugh: "King Zhou, King Zhou, tell me about King Zhou."
"That's really touching," Zhong Yang interjected. "It's a pity I'm used to being a lone wolf..."
The others sighed inwardly. They all understood the importance of teammates after getting this far, but they also had their own problems, making it difficult for them to get along so well.
"What changes have occurred around King Zhou, or what he knows, is already beyond our control. Therefore, when it comes to meeting King Zhou, we will approach it from the sidelines, focusing on our own goals and indirectly assisting him," Lin Feng said. "This way, we won't need to have too much contact with the people around King Zhou. No matter what the three religions do, we only need to join forces with Wu Ming to force Xian Qin to retreat."
"Secondly, with the Heavenly Court now sealed off and the Heavenly Dao in retreat, our task in assisting King Zhou is to increase his power!"
"The Ghost Sealing List controls reincarnation, the Demon Sealing List controls demonic trials, and the Monster Sealing List controls all the demons and gods under heaven."
"With the Heavenly Court receding, the Investiture of the Gods...has lost its value!"
"In this way, King Zhou will be able to command the world according to the will of all living beings!"
This was his original plan: to make King Zhou and humanity the rulers of this land!
"How do we deal with Xian Qin?" After Lin Feng finished speaking, Sun He frowned and looked at the scene displayed above the Ghost Domain. The Primordial Ancestor had already trapped several disciples of the Jie Sect.
"The Demon Court!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "The three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, as well as... ancient mythical beasts! The Heavenly Court's blockade and the Heavenly Dao's concealment do not mean they have disappeared forever. When they return, the three races that have entered will not want to be suppressed, especially by the disciples of the three religions that they look down upon."
"An ancient mythical beast?" Si Zang asked curiously, "Where did Shen Gongbao go to find mythical beasts?"
“It’s Fire Cloud Cave.” Lin Feng patted Si Cang and gestured to Chi You beside him: “You should forget about this one.”
"oh!"
Si Zang turned his head and tentatively asked, "Great God Chi You, do you have any offspring of strange beasts? I can raise them for you. Really, anything is fine. I can raise them to be plump and healthy."
“Yes, the essence of a star, a gift from one of the participants.” Chi You immediately pulled out a red tentacle monster the size of a palm.
The Star Spirit, a creature from the Cthulhu Mythos, is entirely crimson, dripping with viscous blood. Countless tentacles pulsate on its crimson body, like a constantly writhing and pulsating block of jelly.
