Chapter 460 Target: Blue Star
The person involved is fully aware of the missing six pillars.
The one who is partially aware of the situation is the original ruler.
The original overlord inexplicably lost the six pillars. Any creature with normal intelligence would have only one choice: to find out as soon as possible what happened in the dark world that day.
In recent months, it seems that the Original Overlord has remained motionless and inactive, but in reality, this is not the case.
If he took action, how could it become known to everyone? A secret investigation was the wisest choice.
As a direct participant of the event that day, the eighth son of the Wang family was quite powerful but not among the top ones in the current universe. Naturally, he became a good source of intelligence.
Out of fear of the "King of Kings" (because the Faceless's disguise gave the Original Overlord wrong information, he did not have the courage to gamble whether the current King of Kings was real or fake), the Original Overlord would definitely not use tough measures, so secret communication and covert cooperation became the most likely choice.
——All of the above were Zhuge Liang’s judgments beforehand, but now they have all come true.
And Boss Wang, Wang Yanshan, is the cooperation target of the original master.
"The problem lies with that so-called cosmic bug production line he's talking about, right?"
Xia Lin spoke and Wang Yanlin nodded.
"That's it."
Creating cosmic bugs was the authority of the Six Pillars in the past, but that doesn’t mean the Six Pillars had a complete monopoly on it - the previous Qingjue Sword God was an example.
Theoretically, what Boss Wang said about "developing a means to stably create cosmic bugs" is possible, but he happened to bring it up during the rooftop meeting that day, and now thinking about it, it seemed a bit deliberate.
Following this line of inquiry, Mr. Zhuge vaguely discovered some clues.
"My eldest brother has been blinded by lard!"
When saying this, Wang Yanlin gritted his teeth and was heartbroken.
But he soon lost his temper.
"The mistake cannot be entirely put on my eldest brother. I can understand his choice."
As the eldest son of the Wang family, he was suppressed too badly by the second son.
If you are not the strongest and most prestigious big brother, then what are you doing as the big brother?
Before in the dark world, Wang Yanshan had no advantage over Wang Yanhai, and the means and courage he displayed in the process were far inferior to Wang Yanhai's.
The brothers' fight did not get their parents' favor, and Wang Yanshan happened to still retain the contact information with the original master.
Now the turtle and the green bean fell in love with each other.
Xia Lin chuckled: "The only lesson people can learn from the past is that they never learn any lessons."
Wang Yanshan’s previous cooperation with Hunger was a dangerous operation - Wang Yanshan felt that he could control the risks and use others as knives.
If he can't do it, his father will back him up.
But now he has gone a step further and directly found the original master.
And this time, he still doesn't have his six-pillar father.
"So, what do your uncles and your mother say? How are you going to handle this matter regarding your eldest brother?"
Xia Lin asked Wang Yanlin while stroking the county magistrate.
Wang Yanlin sighed softly.
"The Queen Mother has summoned my eldest brother...but I don't know if he will listen to the Queen Mother's advice."
Xia Lin nodded in understanding. "So, you're still thinking of giving him one last chance."
Wang Yanlin took a quick look and found that Xia Lin was a little disappointed.
This made him feel strange...
"Brother, your expression isn't right. Why are you so disappointed?"
Xia Lin suppressed his disappointment and laughed, without mentioning why he was disappointed, but just spoke meaningfully.
"I think your eldest brother is not an obedient child."
…
In the Kingdom of Mountains, a faint light flashed from the palace teleportation array. Wang Yanshan walked out of it with a gloomy face and walked quickly towards the Zhenggan Palace.
He returned to the palace, dismissed all the servants, sat on the dragon throne and waited quietly for a moment. Only then did a light descend from the sky and turn into a gray and illusory reflection.
Their eyes met, and the gray shadow sneered, "Did you find out anything from your mother? Now, is your father real or fake?"
Gray Shadow was undoubtedly the incarnation of the original master. When he asked at this moment, it didn't sound like a question, but more like a question. He revealed a condescending tone and was full of disappointment with his subordinates who were not doing their job well.
Wang Yanshan was summoned by his mother this time and was given a good lecture. He was already angry, and when he heard the Original Lord speaking to him in such a tone, he could no longer suppress his anger.
"I don't know. I don't have the time or the energy to ask you about those things."
The Primordial Overlord gasped: "Then what do you do for a living?"
Wang Yanshan laughed in anger: "What do I do for a living? I also want to ask you, what do you do for a living!?"
"Aren't you Liuzhu? Aren't you awesome? You just give me a defective cosmic bug production line that can only produce 100 units in ten years! Do you know that Xia Lin will turn this output into rubbish in seconds?!"
"And what about the power of the six pillars? Where's your power of the six pillars? You told me yourself that you could help me take over Hongguo's territory, and you could also help me take over my other brothers' territories! What about now? What about now? Ah!? Now I can't even protect myself!"
The more Wang Yanshan thought about it, the angrier he became!
He hid it from others, even his own father, and secretly had an affair with the Original Overlord. Wasn't it just to eat the flesh and blood of his brothers and forge a ladder leading to the Six Pillars?
Originally I had six foreign aids and you didn't, so I thought this game was going to be a sure thing, but Xia Lin turned the table over.
Later, he was summoned by his mother and scolded severely. He was really defeated!
However, after venting, Wang Yanshan took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mood.
"My mother already knows that I'm involved with you. I'm here to tell you that our cooperation ends here."
“Hehehehe…”
Upon hearing this, the Primordial Lord laughed.
It’s not that Wang Yanshan signed any life-saving agreement with Him, nor is it that he can use force to overwhelm others - without knowing the movements of the King of Kings, it is impossible for the Original Lord to use violence to intimidate Wang Yanshan or do anything to Wang Yanshan.
He just saw through Wang Yanshan's nature.
He is very anxious.
He was anxious to prove to his parents that he was the best among his brothers.
"Are you giving up on your cooperation with me? How will you then fight your fifth brother? And how can your men remain loyal to you despite your fifth brother's inducements?"
"Okay, I admit that my tone was a bit harsh just now, and I apologize, but getting angry with me won't solve anything. You probably can't let go of your current power and authority and be willing to go home and be a good boy to your parents."
Wang Yanshan remained silent.
And this attitude has already expressed his own choice.
He's still taking risks!
Maybe he thought his father could still protect him, but he didn't know that his father had already left the main universe.
Soon, the Primordial Lord said again: "By the way, you wouldn't be so foolish as to tell your mother that you and I had private contact, right?"
Wang Yanshan shook his head.
You can guess it, I will never admit it.
Anyway, what Zhuge Liang found were all indirect evidence, not even evidence at all. As Wang Yanshan was the eldest son, no one could do anything to him as long as he denied it to death.
The Primordial Overlord nodded slightly: "That's easy."
Wang Yanshan: "What do you want to do?"
"It's very simple." The Primordial Overlord spoke slowly, "The strategy doesn't need to change. I'll help you annex your brothers' territories and help you become stronger. You'll help me find out what happened in the Dark Realm in the past and determine your father's condition."
"I still say the same thing: I'm not asking you to betray your father. I just want to know the truth. What's between you and me is just an exchange of interests."
"Actually, this strategy should be effective right now. No one can resist the allure of a level 12. The only problem is that Xia Lin suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
"Now, what we have to do is very simple...kill Xia Lin and put everything back on track."
Xia Lin gained fame after the battle on the rooftop, which naturally had both good and bad consequences.
As a new challenger, his rise will inevitably have an impact on the "old money" and be suppressed.
Considering that Xia Lin is a socialite and has friendships and even interests with most of the old money, this problem is not a big deal, but he must face the side of the Original Overlord and there is no room for escape.
The Original Lord felt that he had no deep hatred with Xia Lin.
But now six pillars are missing and new pillars are lacking, so whoever is capable will take over.
Then Xia Lin will form a direct competitive relationship with the current original ruler, and I will have to take your life.
Wang Yanshan: "How do we kill him? Xia Lin is with my fifth brother, how do we kill him?"
The Primordial Lord chuckled softly.
"Don't worry, I will do it myself this time."
If the safe plan doesn't work, then the Original Overlord will have to take some risks.
…
"Let's not talk about whether my brother is obedient or not. What's important is your safety."
"Mr. Zhuge estimated that your appearance this time would definitely irritate the Primordial Overlord. Now you have become a thorn in his side."
Xia Lin said nonchalantly, "Of course."
"But don't we still have you guys here?"
Everything is going as planned.
Xia Lin's appearance is also a means to stimulate the Original Overlord - Wumian wants to use this to lure the Original Overlord out.
At this moment, a tight net has been laid in Wang Laowu's palace, waiting for the original master to come and close the net.
After chatting with Wang Laowu for a while, Xia Lin looked at Barclay who was waiting on the side.
As Barclay rebuilt his foundation, he has now become the "Prime Minister Turtle" beside Xia Lin, helping Xia Lin deal with some trivial matters.
As for the matter of the idle level eleven coming to surrender, Xia Lin handed it over to Barclay to handle.
"This is today's list. I've highlighted those with potential."
Barclay handed over a tablet with a list of those who had come forward and were willing to submit to Xia Lin.
Xia Lin took a quick look and nodded in understanding. Just as he was about to give further instructions to Barclay, the abnormality in the portable space interrupted Xia Lin's thoughts.
He took out the communicator from his personal space, connected the call, and heard Zhou Xinglin's voice.
"Something happened."
"Your home is going to be raided."
Xia Lin took a moment to react before he suddenly realized: "Oh, you're talking about the Blue Star..."
There was no need to rush, because from Zhou Xinglin's tone, it could be heard that nothing major had happened over there.
Zhou Xinglin spoke, and soon Xia Lin knew the whole story.
When the call was disconnected, Xia Lin had a cold smile on his face. He turned to look at Wang Yanlin, who had also listened to Zhou Xinglin's call, and said, "Your eldest brother is really not a good boy who listens to his mother."
"Not only that, your seventh brother is also going further and further down the clown path."
…
The Flashing Blue Star belongs to the Blue Empire, which is under the rule of Wang Yanqing, the seventh king of the Wang family.
Zhou Xinglin said that Xia Lin's house was raided because of the recent abnormalities on the Blue Star itself.
The Flash Blue Star, which was supposed to be protected by the Cinder Zone system, had its Cinder Zone barrier inexplicably malfunction, causing the Flash Blue Star to be exposed to the main universe.
The sudden exposure of the Flashing Blue Star attracted the attention of the Blue Empire.
According to the laws of the Empire, the Flash Blue Star was originally the territory of the Blue Empire. Now that it has lost the protection of the Cinder Zone system, it should return to the embrace of the Blue Empire - four words: nationalized.
"After all, you know how convenient the Ashes are. You yourself started out in the Ashes."
"According to intelligence, although Glitter Blue Star has lost the protection of the Cinders' Barrier, it still retains its status as an Cinders' planet... In other words, anyone can become an Cinders' Walker through Glitter Blue Star's channels."
Wang Yanlin's flagship, the Qilin, slowly landed. At the hatch, Wang Yanlin said this to Xia Lin.
There is no precedent for this in the main universe.
A planet that has escaped the protection of the Ash Zone but is essentially still an Ash Zone planet is simply an endless treasure waiting to be developed.
As the hatch of the spacecraft opened, the scenery of the Blue City appeared before Xia Lin.
——There is nothing special about the blue sky and white clouds. What is special is the blue royal family who came to pick us up at the airport.
They were a group of tall blue people with blue skin, and they were also the main ethnic group of the Blue Empire.
These blue people are naturally proficient in magic control and are natural wizards.
The one at the head of this group of blue people was Wang Yanqing who had arrived early.
"Fifth brother!"
He smiled and opened his arms enthusiastically, but Wang Laowu was too lazy to pay any attention to him.
He just said to Xia Lin, "The Cinder Zone system was created by the Upper Three Pillars. You know that too."
"Daily maintenance is the responsibility of the Cinders' intelligent system. You can think of the entire Cinders as a set of super-powerful magic weapons. It's not as powerful as the Heavenly Palace Demon Palace of the Divine Kingdom, but it's only slightly weaker."
"When the Six Pillars were around, no one dared to meddle with the Ember Zone system. This was a tacit understanding among the Six Pillars. But now that the Six Pillars are gone, I'm afraid the only one who has the ability to change the Ember Zone rules and affect the Ember Zone system is that person."
The original ruler.
The six pillars of the past have stepped down from the throne, but their power remains.
No one knows what kind of strength and magical powers this former Six Pillars can retain after losing his Six Pillar status.
Therefore, every time they tried, everyone was very cautious and didn't dare to take big steps for fear of getting hurt.
And what is happening now is obviously the open game of the original master.
I started with the Cinders system and tested the reactions of the other pillars. This is one.
I will start from Xia Lin’s hometown, Flashing Blue Star, to lure Xia Lin out of the cave and eliminate the risk factors in advance. This is the second step.
Killing two birds with one stone is a smart choice, but also a risky move.
——If the original ruler is the only one who loses the six pillars, then he is doomed.
However, considering that if this is true, then the Original Overlord cannot escape no matter what, there is no risk in doing this.
In front, Wang Yanqing froze in place, the smile on his face completely frozen.
Wang Yanlin ignored his enthusiasm, which made Wang Yanqing feel uncomfortable.
Wang Yanlin walked past Wang Yanqing with Xia Lin, completely ignoring Wang Yanqing, and continued to transmit his message, "Actually, the best and safest option is for you to ignore Shanlanxing and continue to stay in the Lin Kingdom Palace and leave this matter entirely to me."
There is a formation covering that place, and even the Kingdom of God can be attracted at any time. The subordinates of the King of Kings will come to the rescue faster, and safety is indeed guaranteed.
Xia Lin just smiled and shook his head.
"The problem has come to me, so why should I avoid it?"
The growth of strength brings greater confidence.
Everyone knows the efficiency of a life-and-death battle. Xia Lin at this moment is no longer the same as when he just advanced.
Although the original rulers were the six pillars in the past, even though they have lost their positions, their strength is still the strongest in the universe.
But is he someone Xia Lin can scam right now... Xia Lin really wants to give it a try!
During the conversation, the two had already arrived before the King of the Blue Empire.
This blue man seemed to be in his prime, exuding the aura of level eleven.
Seeing Xia Lin and Wang Laowu, the king knelt on one knee and saluted solemnly: "Greetings, Fifth Prince."
The one kneeling was Wang Laowu, not Xia Lin.
Xia Lin smiled without saying anything. He glanced at Wang Laoqi out of the corner of his eye and saw that Wang Laoqi had restrained his awkward posture, adjusted his mood and came to Wang Laowu.
Wang Laowu then addressed the king, "Regarding the matter of the Blue Star, was it you who made the decision? The decision to nationalize it?"
The king nodded heavily: "Yes."
"Then how will you deal with the Cinder Walkers on the Flashing Blue Planet in the future?"
"The Ashes are vast and boundless, and we all share them."
It sounds like a reasonable and practical policy.
But for some reason, the Blue Empire is relatively xenophobic and its attitude towards other races is not very friendly.
Policies are policies, but how can their implementation be so rigorous? There are always loopholes.
Compared with the Blue Empire, a second-tier empire in the universe, the Ash Zone Walkers on the Shining Blue Star are as small as a drop in the ocean - not counting Xia Lin.
After hearing this, Xia Lin and Wang Laowu both sneered.
"The policy is inappropriate and needs to be changed. From now on, the Blue Star will be autonomous and will be under the jurisdiction of our Lin Nation."
"In return, I will help you advance to level 12. What do you think of this condition?"
The conditions are quite generous.
A planet in the Cinder Zone cannot match the value of a level 12 strong man.
After all, only the strong can raise the upper limit of a civilization, while the Ashes Zone can only mass-produce level 10 rookies.
The king simply shook his head.
"Not appropriate. The Cinders are the foundation of the Transcendent. They can significantly expand the number of lower-level professionals in the Azure Empire. Only when there are enough of them can we seek a higher ceiling."
This is a fallacy.
Without the cosmic bug and the power of the six pillars, you will never reach the height of level twelfth.
You can reach this upper limit by nodding your head, so how can you be qualified to talk about the upper limit now?
As he spoke, he stood up and glanced at Wang Yanqing, who had an "I support you" expression on his face, and his voice unconsciously became louder.
"I, Canglan Klin, prioritize the Empire above all else! I absolutely cannot agree to the Fifth Prince's conditions!"
Wang Yanqing nodded in satisfaction.
This Canglan Klin is his die-hard fan.
With Wang Yanqing's huge family background, there will always be people who will be absolutely loyal to him and will not betray him because of external temptations.
The surrounding blue people also applauded and praised the king's character.
Until a flash of white light hit Canglan Klin's head accurately.
With a swish sound.
He lost his head...
The audience paused in applause, and Canglan Klin's headless body fell to the ground.
Xia Lin slowly withdrew his hand and looked at the royal family behind Canglan Klin with a smile.
"Then you should change your king."
Wang Laoqi's furious voice rang out beside him.
"How dare you!?"
It was Wang Laowu who took over the conversation: "Xia Lin is my new national teacher, and Flash Blue Star is Xia Lin's hometown! I'm discussing using a level 12 quota in exchange for Flash Blue Star's autonomy. I'm giving you and the Blue Empire face! If you don't want this face, Old Seven, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherly love!"
The two brothers immediately started quarreling, but Xia Lin just scratched his ears.
rule?
What are rules?
Whoever has the bigger fist rules the rules!
Xia Lin understood this principle as early as when he was in the Cinder District.
Now that he was at level 12, he was too lazy to follow the rules set by others.
Wang Yanlin's tiger skin is quite useful.
But this is not Xia Lin's reliance, but rather Xia Lin's limiting valve.
A limiter left by his father, Xia Lin Cheng'en, which allows Xia Lin to restrain himself!
Otherwise, in the next ten minutes, the Blue Empire will experience what a real disaster is.
Ignoring the dispute between the fifth and seventh brothers, Xia Lin smiled even more broadly.
"So according to your laws, who should be the next to ascend the throne?"
