Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 696: Chapter 510: The New Flame God_2

"Of course, but that’s not the point."

Sos paused for a moment when he heard this, but then insisted, "If possible, could you introduce me to this being? I’m willing to pay a price for it."

"I’ve already told you, that’s not the point."

As he spoke, Chen Zhixing handed the tea leaves heated with true fire to Sos, the jade cup containing a bent, emerald willow leaf that made one enchanted.

Without waiting for Sos to speak again, Chen Zhixing candidly said, "The mother plant of this thing is quite mysterious, in fact, probably even more mysterious than the one bearing the Cosmic World. Naturally, its life level is also higher."

"Mr. Chen..."

"Let me finish."

Chen Zhixing took a sip of the ’green tea’ in the cup and then showed a peculiar smile: "But that willow tree is currently in a much worse state than your World Tree. If you really contact it, the only outcome will be that it swallows your World Tree Origin, and then retreats to its current hiding place."

Sos: "..."

"Any other questions?"

"No, Mr. Chen."

Sos smiled bitterly.

He indeed needed some external force to stimulate the revival of the World Tree, but he could never allow this force to harm the tree’s roots, which was unacceptable to Sos.

Chen Zhixing never considered involving the Divine Liu for this reason from the very beginning.

"Alright then, let’s continue to talk about... well, if I guess correctly, that Fire Divinity was forcibly integrated by Yimiao, right?"

"That’s right."

"And the one who integrated it, was it someone from the Immortal Ascension Sect?"

"Yes."

"Pfft, that stingy woman." Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes, feeling helpless about Bai Yu’s anger.

It wasn’t him who made Yimiao act, nor did he advise the Longevity ones to come to the Cosmic World, it was Bai Yu who insisted on calling people, and now she is blaming him.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Zhixing sighed again.

"So, there’s a big problem with that Flame Divine Format, right? Unless something unexpected happens, the poor guy who integrated the Divine Format should be crazy by now?"

"Not at all, Mr. Chen. As far as I know, your compatriot is doing well and has already preliminarily stabilized the aftereffects of the integration. The integration into the Cosmic Realm process went very smoothly." Sos replied with a smile, contradicting the assumption.

Then Chen Zhixing spewed out a mouthful of tea!

"What the heck? Integration???" Chen Zhixing’s mouth was agape, almost large enough to fit an apple.

"Yes, sir. Is there something strange about that?" Sos looked puzzled.

The fact was exactly as he said; Taoist Ci Yun’s way of integrating the Divine Format was by merging into the system of the Cosmic Realm, undergoing assimilation, hence the process was relatively smooth.

In ways Chen Zhixing understands, it’s like how Mentor Ci Yun gave up everything, choosing to completely unite with the Divine Format!

Like how the Cyan Pheasant Sword Immortal tried to do to him before.

Only Chen Zhixing refused, but our beloved Ci Yun True Monarch was forced to agree.

"Cough cough cough cough.... I can’t, I choked, and need to take a breather."

As he spoke, Chen Zhixing also clutched his chest, feeling unwell.

No wonder Bai Yu’s face looked so grim just now; it turns out that Ci Yun was half-killed by Yimiao the whole time. No, to be precise, Ci Yun’s current state probably isn’t much different from death!

His integration with the Fire Divinity of the Cosmic Realm... It’s not even integration; it’s Yimiao forcibly inserting the Flame Divine Format into him!

It’s no wonder he’s crazy!

As for how long it might take for Ci Yun to ’wake up’ after going mad, or whether he would just remain dormant under the identity of Ci Yun, only the heavens know.

But truth be told, Ci Yun is indeed not dead, and his state is incredibly good. After all, even though he’s insane, he has indeed become stronger....

However, associating this strength with the Immortal Ascension Sect again would be a very difficult task.

Unexpectedly, a mentor goes mad, and anyone would be angry.

Bai Yu’s grim expression becomes less surprising under these circumstances.

Thinking of the trouble he would face after Sos leaves, Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but sigh.

"Well, this time it’s going to be a big problem.... By the way, Sos, do you have a way to extract that Divine Format from Ci Yun?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"If he doesn’t resist."

"..." Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes.

Saying that is as good as saying nothing; how could Ci Yun not resist!

Sos also realized this and could only smile bitterly, "Sorry, Mr. Chen, I can’t help you. Your other compatriot is too powerful, and I’m helpless over her actions."

"It’s not your fault. She’s the one who owes you. If she weren’t so willful, this situation wouldn’t have occurred."

"But Mr. Chen, what she did benefits our plan."

"Ha?"

"You know that in the plan, we need some strong individuals to be the first batch of noble generals entering the Star Sea, and your compatriot who integrated the Flame Great Venerable’s Divine Format is a perfect candidate."

"Mindless, easy to control, with no attachments, needing your help to stabilize the state?"

"Mr. Chen, some things don’t need to be said so bluntly."

"There’s nothing blunt about it. At your level, being subtle in front of you has no meaning."

"At least make it sound nicer."

"Hah!" For Chen Zhixing, Sos was considered a good friend, if only Sos could shed the mask seemingly always on his face.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, let’s skip this topic, shall we?" Sos felt a bit awkward with Chen Zhixing’s attitude.

"Alright, fake Sos." Chen Zhixing spread his hands, indicating Sos could continue.

"Mr. Chen, actually, I’ve been observing our design blueprint carefully these days, and I always felt something’s off. There is a flaw in the Cosmic Generals plan you envisioned."

"Go on."

"I’m saying, if, if they are incompetent, without my help, they cannot survive in the starry sky; what should be done?"

"Then let them die and bring in a new batch."

"But if they fall in the Star Sea, it’s difficult to fully retrieve the Divinity from them."

"Create a technique for them to project avatars, restrict them to enter other worlds only via avatars, this shouldn’t be hard for you."

"But doing so seems to lose the original purpose of their creation, Mr. Chen. If they’re just avatars, then in other worlds, they will be no different than any ordinary Legendary Realm strongman." Sos smiled wryly, his dilemma evident.

"Why would they not differ?" Chen Zhixing took another sip of his green tea, smiling: "Their strength is on paper, strength for show, to let others know the Cosmic Realm has their presence, while the real duty of pioneering falls on their subordinate nobles, connecting with the ’rebellious factions’ in invaded worlds, making these factions the main force."

"Would the people of these worlds be so foolish, Mr. Chen, you know...."

"Why wouldn’t they?" Chen Zhixing blinked, curiously looking at Sos: "What we’re implementing is a slave enfeoffment system, of course, this enfeoffment also includes the native nobles of invaded worlds. Until a well-established connection is built, keep throwing in as many slave soldiers, pills, resources into it. Under such support, I really can’t think of a reason for these indigenous of invaded worlds to refuse."

"So you mean...."

"Use powerful beings of the Divine Realm as deterrents, send a massive wave of cannon fodder into the Otherworld, allow the local nobles to command, and use them to incorporate the world into your system, eventually turning the world into one source of slave soldiers.... what’s hard to understand about this?"

Saying this, Chen Zhixing suddenly turned his head and looked toward a corner.

"If you want to listen, come out to listen, don’t sneak around there like a thief!"
