Chapter Six: Meeting

→:

Uncle grabbed a sharp dagger from the void and tossed it into his nephew's arms with the casual air of someone about to perform seppuku. This dagger is a scout-class item, incredibly sharp but without any bleeding effect, perfect for slicing open the tough skin of a Night Wanderer without causing lasting damage!

"Uncle, can I have this dagger?" Zhang Yuanqing fondled the Sovereign-grade dagger, clearly enamored.

"If you were going to give it to Fu Qingyang, he wouldn't look twice. If you were going to give it to Guan Ya, I'd give you something better when she reaches the Sovereign stage. As it is, she can't afford to use this dagger right now. As for you, it's as useful as a chicken bone!"

Uncle didn't agree.

So stingy with so many treasures in the Myriad Treasure Tree, Zhang Yuanqing grumbled inwardly. He gripped the dagger in reverse, pressed it against his chest, and stabbed hard, cutting through flesh and plucking out the dark, throbbing heart connected to veins in his palm!

Uncle leaned forward, placing his palm above the heart. Immediately, numerous tightly connected Void runes appeared on the surface of the dark heart!

With a gentle flick of his wrist, the family's black sheep watched the void runes rapidly dissipate, losing a thin layer.

He immediately shoved the heart back into his chest!

The next second, intense negative energy surged like a tidal wave!

Zhang Yuanqing collapsed to the ground in agony, a sun mark appearing on his forehead, which then twisted into a collapsing black hole mark, before reverting to the sun mark.

The aura around him was sometimes sinister and empty, sometimes pure and bright!

After much back-and-forth, the power of the Sun God gained the upper hand, suppressing the Illusion God's heart and successfully taming it!

Zhang Yuanqing lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily. Compared to the initial, near-loss-of-control fusion, this time the risk was much lower.

The domineering power of the Sun God countered the spiritual power. As long as he peeled back the layers and removed the seal, he wouldn't have to worry about the Illusion God's heart going out of control. Once he became the Lord of the Sun, he could completely control the Illusion God's heart and become a dual-class demigod.

Zhang Yuanqing lay on the ground, panting as he adapted to his new skills.

[Nullification] is the core skill for Illusionists at the Sovereign stage. A Level 7 Nullifier can nullify energy, a Level 8 can nullify matter, a Level 9 can nullify rules. At the demigod stage, nullification can reduce conceptual things to nothingness.

Zhang Yuanqing's [Nullification] skill corresponds to Level 7, but the Illusion God's heart is a demigod-level item, inherently possessing the characteristics of voiding rules!

He can nullify two types of rules. One is rules at the reality level, such as apples falling downwards after ripening, fire burning, the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and humans splitting their waste. The other is rules in the Spirit Realm, referring to rule-based items and skills.

Zhang Yuanqing's current level cannot nullify the rules that support the operation of the world, and his range is not large. In combat, he can nullify the rules that cause high-speed collisions to generate strong kinetic energy, exhibiting an effect similar to that of an Alcoholic, but the Alcoholic's abilities are [Distortion] [Chaos] [Reversal] [Erasure], which are more widely and flexibly applied.

When dealing with rule-based items and skills, he can nullify rules at Level 7 and below, including Level 7!

The limitation is that this skill can only be used three times a day. There is no limit when nullifying energy or spiritual power!

A Level 9 Nullifier can erase rules. Tsk, the sense of urgency only increases after advancing to Sovereign. Not to mention demigod-level, a Sovereign can already manipulate rules. The Boss's skill, nearly reaching the Dao, was invincible at the Saint stage, but it's not so effective at the Sovereign stage.

Zhang Yuanqing got up somewhat wearily and collapsed on the sofa, saying, "Uncle, bring me another cola."

Uncle immediately grabbed an ice-cold cola and tossed it over. "Adapt to the power of the Sovereign stage, return to the country as soon as possible and build your own force. I need to go back and be with your aunt. Oh, by the way, your mother is in New York County. She's very safe. Do you want to see her?"

Zhang Yuanqing remained silent.

"Huang Taiji," the Jian'ge Elder's eyes flashed as he looked at the Great Wilderness Elder Emperor Hong and smiled. "It seems he has successfully advanced to Sovereign. Saints are not qualified to participate in meetings at this level. If it's important intelligence, Huang Taiji's correct approach is to tell the meeting secretary instead of requesting to connect."

"The fact that he requested to connect indicates that he has the qualification to report his work at the meeting!"

"Let him in," Hong's serious face showed a hint of a smile!

The meeting secretary immediately picked up a notebook and operated frantically. The projector on the ceiling emitted a blue beam, and Huang Taiji's figure appeared in the beam.

Huang Taiji had just finished the cleanup work and returned home, originally intending to talk to his grandfather to report intelligence on Yuan Shi Tianzun, but was told that his grandfather Di Hong was in a meeting, so he simply connected directly!

This was also to tell the high-level executives of the Five Elements Alliance that he had advanced to Sovereign!

Di Hong looked at his grandson with relief, and the haze in his heart dissipated a lot. He smiled and said, "You're here. We didn't enter the Spirit Realm to watch this Slaughter instance. Report on your advancement to Sovereign!"

Everyone suppressed their shock and looked at Huang Taiji, waiting for him to announce the advancement list. Huang Taiji bowed slightly and said, "Yin Ji, Jiang Ju, Xiahou Aotian, Xiao Yuan."

"What are you saying?" The Great Elder of the Red Fire Gang interrupted him, confused. "Aren't there only three Sovereign spots?"

The others also looked puzzled!

Huang Taiji explained, "Because of Ling Tuo, the Slaughter instances in the first and second districts merged, so there are six spots."

The nine rulers were shocked, and then delighted. Compared to three spots, "we in the first district have four of the six."

Ling Tuo stirred up trouble in the Spirit Realm, affecting the operating mechanism of the Spirit Realm, causing the Slaughter instances of the two districts to merge. There was no need to dwell too much on the aftermath of this incident. Compared to that, these rulers were sincerely delighted and excited that they had obtained four spots in this Slaughter instance!

"You're happy too early," Fu Qingyang glanced at the nine elders with their joyful expressions and deliberately asked, "What about the last two spots?"

Huang Taiji thought for a moment and, under the gaze of the nine elders, said word by word:

"Yuan Shi Tianzun."

A bolt from the blue!

The elders who were full of joy just a second ago now had stiff expressions, their smiles frozen on their faces. The Red Fire Gang's Elder suddenly stood up, his eyes as wide as copper bells. "Who did you say?"

His expression was even more shocked than when the Demon Lord had revived. Huang Taiji swept over the nine elders' shocked expressions, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart, but his face remained calm:

"Yuan Shi Tianzun! He's not dead. We were able to pass this Slaughter instance entirely because of him!"

He immediately told everyone in detail what had happened in the Slaughter instance during his advancement to Sovereign.

The meeting room fell into an eerie silence, and an indescribable atmosphere of stiffness enveloped the nine peak Sovereigns who held power. Their faces were strange as they remained silent, silent!

After who knows how long, Miao Changlao of the Hundred Flowers Association looked at Fu Qingyang and said in a deep voice, "So, the Jumang of New York County is him. You knew all along that Yuan Shi Tianzun wasn't dead. How did he revive? Mother Goddess's womb?"

Fu Qingyang's expression was cold, but his tone was cheerful. "I don't know what you're talking about. I was also surprised that Yuan Shi wasn't dead!"

He would never admit to joining forces with the Demon Eye to save Yuan Shi Tianzun. Whether it was collusion with the Heavenly King of the Soldiers Sect or reviving the murderer who killed Elder Cai, it would become ammunition for his political enemies.

The nine elders looked at each other. Yuan Shi Tianzun was not dead and had become a Sovereign, and had assisted the Saints of the Five Elements Alliance in advancing in the Slaughter instance. Their hearts were filled with mixed emotions, and they couldn't tell whether it was regret or joy, fear or relief!

The plot is full of twists and turns and is gripping. It is a network game competitive novel with both plot and good writing, which is reproduced and collected by Piaotian Literature.

Fu Qingyang continued, "Rather than caring about Yuan Shi Tianzun's revival, I'm more concerned about what relationship he has with the Demon Lord's resurrection!"

The nine elders quickly shook off the emotion that this kid was still alive and looked at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji then told the nine elders about Yuan Shi Tianzun's anomalies in the Slaughter instance. There was no need to hide these things, nor was it possible to hide them, since there were many people present at the time.

"The Demon Lord is a centipede that won't fall down even when dead." Di Hong, the Great Elder, frowned and pondered, "But if he's not dead, Yuan Shi Tianzun couldn't have inherited the character card."

Miao Changlao also expressed her opinion, "If the Demon Lord wasn't dead, the Taiyi Sect Master's response wouldn't be so bland, and the alliance leaders would have informed us long ago..."

"Since Yuan Shi Tianzun isn't dead, then just ask him directly." At this point, everyone turned their attention to Fu Qingyang.

Qian Gongzi, Qian, said lightly,

"He's no longer a member of the Five Elements Alliance." This sentence was pointing out that you can no longer use identity or position to demand anything from him.

What the nine elders heard was Fu Qingyang demanding power and position for Yuan Shi Tianzun!

The Red Fire Gang's Great Elder immediately said, "Since he's not dead, then he should return to the Five Elements Alliance. We can use his reputation to boost morale. Recently, the Spirit Realm has been malfunctioning one after another, making the middle and lower-level members panic."

The Water God Palace Great Elder said coldly, "Posts discussing the Moral Value incident are constantly appearing on the forum. If they know it's related to Yuan Shi Tianzun, his reputation will be unmatched. Have you forgotten his past attitude of using his merits to demand rewards? He was difficult to control even as a Saint, how can we suppress him now that he's a Sovereign?"

Miao Changlao thought for a moment and said, "The Elder position in Songhai is not lacking. We can consider transferring him to a poor province. Young people need experience. Let him do whatever he wants then!"

If Yuan Shi Tianzun had extremely high emotional intelligence in the workplace, that would be fine, but he's a troublemaker!

The best way is to send him to a poor province to pioneer. With Yuan Shi Tianzun's personality of not tolerating sand in his eyes, he can just clean up the evil professionals in the poor areas, killing two birds with one stone!

The nine elders began to discuss among themselves, discussing which position to give Yuan Shi Tianzun and how to use his return to boost the morale of the official members.

Before long, the nine elders reached a consensus to transfer Yuan Shi Tian to the Qinghe branch and let him guard the border in Bagui Province.

Di Hong looked at Fu Qingyang, "Fu Changlao, if you have no objections, you will be responsible for contacting Yuan Shi Tianzun."

"No problem!" Fu Qingyang said with a smile, as arrogant as ever, these old guys.

New York County, Queens District, a villa far from the prime location!

Just coming out of the basement, sitting at the dining table cutting the chef-cooked steak and pan-fried cod, the lights outside the villa were bright, and police cars and ambulances were entering and leaving the community.

The community's property management had contacted the construction team to rush to repair the cracked roads and damaged public facilities.

A few hours ago, the community was attacked by evil professionals. The transport vehicle rudely smashed open the community gate, killing the security guard and property personnel who tried to stop the crime.

Then, these evil professionals broke into the villas one by one, carrying away all the valuable items such as safes, jewelry, cash, and antiques onto the transport vehicle.

The villa owners who resisted were killed directly, and beautiful women were either raped on the spot or taken away with the property.

Fortunately, most of the owners were at work during the day and escaped the disaster. After a few hours of revelry, the evil professionals returned fully loaded, leaving a mess behind.

Chen Shu hid in the basement early, leaving only a bodyguard to guard the villa. That bodyguard was a Wind Master, a Sovereign-level professional from the Jishi Society.

Chen Shu's villa was fortunate enough not to be looted, because she didn't know if the Moral Value would recover. The Overseer did not interfere with the revelry of the evil professionals from beginning to end. If these evil professionals with organizational backing died here, it was likely to attract Sovereigns from the evil camp. If a Sovereign-level battle broke out in the villa, Chen Shu in the basement would definitely die!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In addition, the thick purple mist enveloped the entire New York County. The fluctuations spread by the demigod-level battle made even Sovereigns tremble with fear.

In this case, hiding in a low-key manner was the way to survive. Chen Shu swallowed a piece of steak and looked at the Overseer opposite her and said, "The president just sent a message that the Moral Value will no longer disappear, at least not in the short term!"

The Overseer was a Caucasian woman with three-dimensional features, from Spirit Realm ID: Sophia, taken from a character from a famous Japanese animation.

Sophia had sharp brown eyes, flowing black hair, wearing a white office lady suit, and wearing glasses, looking like an intellectual and mature woman!

As the Jishi Society president's personal bodyguard, she breathed a sigh of relief first, but as her, her mood remained heavy.

The evil camp's attacks were becoming more and more frequent and intense. The camp limited itself to the New York County small camp, hunting a large number of Saints and several Sovereigns!

"Compared to official organizations, our Jishi Society's power is still too weak. Faced with the rolling trend, we can only go with the flow. This sense of powerlessness is very unsettling!" After being with Chen Shu for a long time, she occasionally used idioms.

Chen Shu said in a calm tone, "Wait, wait for our Sun Lord to grow up. Then, the Jishi Society will also become a behemoth in the law-abiding camp."

Sophia's exquisite and three-dimensional face showed a hint of curiosity. "President, who exactly is the Sun Lord we are supporting?"

Suddenly, her expression changed. The flowing wind told her that someone had suddenly appeared in the yard!

Sophia suddenly stood up. "Someone broke in, it's."

As soon as she finished speaking, a starlight lit up in the wide and bright restaurant, and a handsome and tall young man with a blank expression appeared in the rising starlight.
