Chapter 401: Chapter 356: Death Golden Crow
Tifeng looked skeptically at Qin Ken, not believing a word Qin Ken said.
The Jiuding Qin Family, not a single decent person.
In terms of strength, Tifeng was confident he could take down Qin Ken. This pretentious guy was merely Initial-tier Gold.
However, Qin Ken was still a member of the Qin Family. Killing Qin Ken wasn’t too difficult. The problem was how to deal with the Qin Family.
Tifeng was full of resentment towards the Qin Family, but he was well aware that the gap in strength between them and the Qin Family was too great.
The Qin Family was different from the Song Family; the Qin Family had always been aggressive externally, and every Patriarch of the Qin Family had the ambition to swallow the Jingtun Alliance.
This always led the Qin Family to be aggressive, finding various opportunities to expand their power.
Killing Qin Ken might very well provoke the Qin Family to send an army to crusade against the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Realm. It’s not that Qin Ken was that important, but that the Qin Family needed a justifiable excuse for external expansion.
This catastrophic consequence was something Tifeng could not bear.
Tifeng took a deep look at Qin Ken, turned around, stepped into the void, and vanished instantly.
Qin Ken, with a stern face, said to Gao Xuan, "This is the last time. Don’t use my name to deceive others anymore. Old Qin is not someone you can call."
Gao Xuan chuckled, "We are trading on equal terms, don’t be so serious, as if I owe you a favor."
Qin Ken was inwardly furious; Gao Xuan was truly troublesome. He couldn’t help but glance at the ring on Gao Xuan’s left pinky, the Creation Golden Core should be inside the ring.
What surprised Qin Ken was that Gao Xuan actually keenly sensed his gaze.
Gao Xuan raised his left hand and shook the Guardian Ring at Qin Ken, "Old Qin, don’t think about it, only I can open this thing."
"Take care of yourself."
Qin Ken shook his head, also stepped into the void, and left.
Gao Xuan laughed wryly in the room, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada could clearly sense Qin Ken’s full malice. This old fellow was already eager to kill him.
The Qin Family was such a large family, with likely hundreds of millions of people surnamed Qin.
One cannot consider Qin Ken and Qin Xuan as the entire Qin Family. However, these two were Golden Powerhouses of the Qin Family, with immense influence within the Qin Family. They couldn’t be seen separately from the Qin Family either.
Gao Xuan understood this clearly, Qin Ken and Qin Xuan were no good. Whether these two were inherently evil, worshiped an Evil God, or had some other purpose.
Once he took action, he wouldn’t need to be polite.
What about uniting all major noble families and organizations to resist the strong enemy? It’s too early to speak of that now.
The Alliance’s three-thousand-year political structure had already penetrated every corner of human society.
Gao Xuan alone couldn’t shake it, let alone make fundamental changes.
Even if the Twelve Golden Bloodline Families united for reform from top to bottom, there was little hope for success.
Because within the Golden Bloodline Families, there would be extreme opposition voices.
Any reform would harm the interests of the traditional conservatives. The conservative power accumulated over three thousand years is imaginable as an immense force.
In this situation, no strategy or negotiation could solve the problem.
The only solution Gao Xuan could think of was Virtual Godhood, using the power of the current Divine to oppress the Alliance, forcing the Alliance to change according to his will.
With the experience from the previous life, Gao Xuan didn’t dare say how well he could do, but at least he could avoid leading human society into a desperate abyss.
Gao Xuan never discussed his philosophy or thoughts with others.
However much such reasoning was spoken, it couldn’t surpass the powerful conservative forces. Instead, it would easily attract the attention of enemies.
Just like now, everyone thought he liked fame, that’s why he was desperately competing for the championship title.
No one would think that Gao Xuan was actually vying for the title of Sword King.
Even that hidden alien race wouldn’t know this was Gao Xuan’s purpose.
Gao Xuan took out the Book of All-Knowing. He gently stroked the cover of the book and asked a question, "Who possesses the Eternal Spear?"
The Book of All-Knowing gave a requirement, to sacrifice a Silver Marvel.
This requirement wasn’t high; Gao Xuan casually took out a Silver Marvel for the sacrifice and got the answer; the Eternal Spear indeed was with Tifeng.
With this killer weapon, Tifeng became exceptionally dangerous.
A strike is certain, purely on a Law Level Marvel. It’s on par with the Godslaying Sword. Unless you use a law of the same level to cover it, there’s no way to resist the Eternal Spear.
Of course, a strike being certain doesn’t mean it can kill the opponent. With such divine power, the Odin Family wouldn’t be hiding in the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Realm.
Gao Xuan didn’t know much about the Eternal Spear, he asked a second question, how can one avoid injury after being struck by the Eternal Spear?
This question was more complicated. The Book of All-Knowing demanded Gao Xuan sacrifice two Golden Marvels.
Gao Xuan felt a bit distressed, he actually had seventy to eighty percent confidence that he could withstand the Eternal Spear. And Bai Yutang, even if something really happened, could still salvage the situation. This question somewhat wasted resources.
After weighing his options, he still decided to find out. Golden Marvels could be scavenged, he didn’t need to risk himself.
After sacrificing two Golden Marvels, Gao Xuan received the answer.
Honestly, Gao Xuan thought the answer was quite expensive. However, it was at least worth the expense.
Gao Xuan looked at the Book of All-Knowing, intending to ask something else, but unfortunately, he had already asked two questions. If he wanted to ask anything else, he would have to wait for several dozen hours.
The Book of All-Knowing originally allowed for three questions. However, since Gao Xuan last asked how to use the Celestial Demon Relic for Virtual Godhood, he hadn’t sacrificed a Divine Soul, so that question was locked by the Book of All-Knowing.
If a question is not answered, it will be locked by the Book of All-Knowing. Therefore, some questions cannot be asked lightly.
