Chapter 522: The Dilemma of Yan Country

Seeing its prey snatched away by someone else, the Holy Sword Angel was also super annoyed.

They waved the holy swords in their hands one after another, blasting toward the Clone of the Sunflower Fairy.

Unexpectedly, when the holy swords struck the Clone of the Sunflower Fairy, they emitted a sound like metal clashing.

After the Clone devoured the Asura Snake Demon, it dove directly into the ground and vanished.

Just as the Asura Snake Demon thought it had escaped alive, it ended up being parasitized by the Sunflower Fairy.

By the time the Clone emerged from the soil in the distance, the body of the Asura Snake Demon had already been firmly controlled by the Sunflower Fairy.

The crystal core in its body was also surrounded by dense roots.

The Asura Snake Demon felt exceptionally aggrieved; it felt that the body was its own, but the body contained a ticking time bomb.

If it did not follow the instructions of the Sunflower Fairy, the Clone parasitizing its body would directly pierce through its crystal core.

This truly caused the Asura Snake Demon extreme distress.

Abyssal Sea Base.

Lan Fa was currently counting the harvest from the Haoshen Abyss together with the Sunflower Fairy.

"We're rich, we're rich, so many high-rank crystal cores."

Looking at the mountain of crystal cores, Lan Fa appeared exceptionally excited.

Just then, a Clone of the Sunflower Fairy suddenly spat out a skull crafted from Refined Gold, as well as a silvery-white Mithril Scepter.

He immediately felt they looked quite familiar.

"Damn, isn't this the body meticulously crafted by the Necromancer, along with the silvery-white Necrotic Mithril Staff?"

"Holy crap, the Necromancer just died like that?"

"This is big news."

Lan Fa hurried toward the conference room.

"It's bad, Ye Bai, it's bad."

The conference room was full of people, which made Lan Fa pause.

"The Eight Kings are leading the Pet Beast Masters of the Beautiful Country to launch a massive invasion into the outskirts of the Haoshen Abyss, and they are now engaged in fierce combat with the Yan Country's army."

"The task given to us by the Yellow Dragon Marshal is to eliminate as many of the Angel Army as possible; we must stop this plan for the angels' descent."

The Youji Pillar of State said with a serious expression.

However, based on the intelligence provided by the system, Ye Bai could confirm one thing.

Both the Light God and the Abyss side want to upgrade the plane where Blue Star is located.

They will invest a large amount of Abyss Wuzhi to help Blue Star grow.

Thereby allowing demigods and other deities to enter Blue Star through the gap of the Haoshen Abyss to reign supreme.

But Ye Bai had a different idea.

Why not take advantage of the deities' resources to directly upgrade the Lanxing Weimian?

This way, the overall strength of the entire Blue Star would increase, and the marshals could also break through the Ninth Rank bottleneck to enter the Heavenly Tier, Saint Tier, or even become demigods.

In any case, the forces where the Heaven Gate is located will soon come looking.

Why should we pass up such a good thing as using the resources of the deities and the Abyss Plane to help Blue Star upgrade?

Therefore, this matter must be considered long-term; we must make the Light God perceive that Blue Star seems to be under his control so that he will invest enough resources.

He thought this way, but the marshals had their own considerations; they would certainly prioritize the big picture and would definitely not agree with his idea.

So Ye Bai planned to start from the system to see if he could find a win-win path.

"This time, not only the Eight Kings, but also the Four Cardinal Virtues, the Thorn Maiden, and the Demon Swordsman will actively attack the Haoshen Abyss."

"And I heard that some major families in Yan Country are stirring."

"The Pillars of State and the Twenty-Eight Mansions have all been dispatched to various parts of Yan Country to suppress these forces."

"And I have received notice that I must also leave the Haoshen Abyss and head to the Southern Frontier to suppress the Millennium Zombies, lest they revolt."

"Ye Bai, you are the person in charge of this base; I entrust the more than one thousand Pet Beast Masters in the base to you."

"I hope you can bring them back safe and sound."

"I'm counting on you."

Ye Bai nodded.

The presence of the Youji Pillar of State would only tie his hands; it would be better to transfer the supreme control of the Haoshen Abyss to himself.

Ye Bai also planned to see if he could lure the Light God into taking action and investing incredibly important resources into Blue Star.

"Actually, I have one more worry now; since two bigwigs of the Gospel Society, the Thorn Maiden and the Demon Swordsman, have both come here."

"Could the Necromancer also be here? With so many undead corpses in the Haoshen Abyss, once they are resurrected by the Necromancer, it will be a massive disaster."

"Everyone should also know the terror of the Undead Calamity."

"And this guy is also proficient in spatial spells; we don't even know if he has hidden himself inside."

"If only there were a good way to find him."

Upon hearing the words of the Youji Pillar of State, Lan Fa raised his hand: "Um, I think I know where the Necromancer is."

Everyone's gaze converged on Lan Fa.

"You know where he is?"

"Speak quickly, we must send personnel to directly eliminate the Necromancer and restore peace to the world."

Lan Fa scratched his head: "The Necromancer seems to have been finished off by the Sunflower Fairy, because I saw the Necrotic Mithril Staff and the Refined Gold Skull the Necromancer crafted for himself."

He snapped his fingers, and both the Mithril Staff and the Refined Gold Skull appeared.

"My god, this really is the Necromancer's body; I have seen that Mithril Staff before."

At this moment, the Youji Pillar of State remained silent.

"I remember the Necromancer being a very careful and cautious person; it wouldn't be so easy to eliminate him."

"He is a man with eighteen burrows for his crafty rabbit, a cautious and survivalist person; I don't believe he has been eliminated."

"Could it be that this is a 'crossing the sea under the cover of heaven' ruse released by the Necromancer, intended to distract us and make us reach the wrong judgment?"

"Making us think the Necromancer is already dead, so that he can transform the remains of the angels and turn them into undead."

Ye Bai couldn't very well say that his Sunflower Fairy had already cleaned the entire ground of the Haoshen Abyss spotlessly, ensuring that not even a single speck of dust could be found.

Saying that would sound as if he were lining his own pockets.

"I will continue to investigate this matter. Please trust in my ability, Rooster Pillar of the Nation; I will report to you once I have investigated it clearly."

"As for the perimeter of the Haoshen Abyss, I will have to trouble you to step forward and deter them."

A large number of factions have gathered on the perimeter of the Haoshen Abyss, and the Rooster Pillar of the Nation must flex his muscles to deter those underground organizations with ulterior motives.

Yan Country is not to be bullied.

After the Rooster Pillar of the Nation left, all control permissions were transferred to Ye Bai.

"Phew, now I will tell everyone about the intelligence I have obtained here."

Ye Canghai suddenly spoke up.

"The Four Cardinal Virtues will be fighting very desperately this time; this concerns whether or not they can become gods."

"However, I have an undercover agent within the Four Cardinal Virtues. It will tell me every move the Four Cardinal Virtues make, and it will find a way to incite one of the Four Cardinal Virtues to defect, creating an even greater conflict."

"The resources here at the Haoshen Abyss are too abundant; we must take advantage of the situation where the Angel Army and the demon army are clashing to collect resources directly and enhance everyone's strength."

Ye Canghai had long known that the Sunflower Fairy was collecting resources, and he planned to take out a portion of the supplies in the base to use first.

"Our harvest this time has been quite bountiful; we have sealed quite a few angels and demons for research."

"Humanity also has precious experimental materials now."

"Our plan this time was also very successful; we have directly grasped quite a bit of intelligence on angels and demons."

"Everyone, please follow me; I will show you a different kind of angel."

"This is a Stone Statue Angel, similar in appearance to our Blood Stone Lion, but its strength is even more powerful."

"The blood on its body is not ordinary blood; it is angel blood."

【Name: Stone Statue Angel】

【Gender: Male】

【Attribute: Light/Ground】

【Level: Tier 7, Level 5】

【Skills: Flight (Proficient): Wings made of rock grow on its back, allowing it to fly in the air and attack enemies.

Shihuazhua (Proficient): Its Lijua possess the ability of Petrification; touching an opponent will cause the opponent to rapidly enter a state of Petrification.

Self-Regeneration (Proficient): By stepping on the ground, it can restore its own body, allowing it to recover its stamina and heal injuries.

Self-Recovery (Proficient): Even with only one Heart Core, as long as it is in contact with the earth, it will re-condense its body.

Angel Cannon (Proficient): Fires a blinding beam of light to attack the opponent, causing the opponent to evaporate instantly.

Holy Light (Proficient): Its body emits a blinding Holy Light to attack the opponent; demons enveloped by the Holy Light will have their strength continuously decline.】

【Evolution Route 1: None for now】

This huge, lion-headed, human-bodied stone statue, holding sharp long blades in its hands, is the Stone Statue Angel.

Their bodies are covered by a thick layer of rock armor, but there is a small sunflower on their heads, which makes them look a bit comical.

Clearly, this Stone Statue Angel has already been secretly controlled by the Sunflower Fairy.

"This is the Hell Quark Demon."

"Its mouth connects to an interdimensional space; do not get close, otherwise it is easy to fall into the interdimensional space, and it won't be so simple to find you back."

Each Hell Quark Demon is four meters tall; it is like a huge temple guardian, with a large and long mouth. They were originally tools for transporting demon eggs, but as a result of Ye Bai's previous prank, they were sent directly to the Haoshen Abyss battlefield.

These Hell Quark Demons surrendered very quickly; before the Sunflower Fairy even threw a punch, they knelt on one knee on the ground one by one to beg for mercy.

Thus, inside the bodies of these Hell Quark Demons, there are also Clones of the Sunflower Fairy.

"Sunflower Fairy, you have really worked hard."

Ye Bai said to the Sunflower Fairy with extreme solemnity.

Without the help of the Sunflower Fairy, Ye Bai could not control either the angels or the demons.

Unlike now, where he actually has a small cluster of elite angels and demons in his hands.

Under the Parasite of the Sunflower Fairy, they directly became elite soldiers and fierce generals under Ye Bai.

Outside the Haoshen Abyss, Huo Yuande secretly made an appointment with Shui Yuande; both sides transformed into a red and a blue lizard, lying on the beach and whispering.

"Huo Yuande, surely we won't run into this or that problem every time we come out?"

Shui Yuande does not approve of attacking the Haoshen Abyss this time, but Wind Virtue and Tu Yuan De are in favor of it.

Could it be that Huo Yuande wants to stand by and watch this time?

It is also because Huo Yuande has a fiery temper; if he decides to take action, he absolutely won't utter a single word of nonsense.

Shui Yuande once heard a piece of intelligence, which is that Huo Yuande was once a human's Pet Beast.

"Could it be that your old flame is in here?"

Shui Yuande teased.

Huo Yuande nodded heavily, his eyes filled with a solemn expression.

"Shui Yuande, Dragon God Bahamut is not coming with good intentions this time."

"Do you want to become their hired thug?"

Shui Yuande said to Huo Yuande.

"But as dragons, shouldn't we all listen to the words of Dragon God Bahamut?"

Shui Yuande hesitated for a moment, then said to Huo Yuande.

"The Dragon God is only using you; once you have no value, we will be discarded."

"Do you really think that fool Wind Virtue told us everything?"

"No, that fool is lying to us because he doesn't want us to obtain divine positions."

"Shui Yuande, do you want to be a watchdog, or do you want to live freely for once?"

Huo Yuande asked Shui Yuande.

"I want to live freely for once; honestly, I don't want to become a god."

"For us, that is a tremendous constraint."

"Under the rules of divine positions, there are many precepts we cannot violate; once violated, we will suffer great punishment."

"I would rather be a free dragon than become a slave to the Dragon God."

Shui Yuande was speaking from the heart.

"So Huo Yuande, what is your suggestion?"

Shui Yuande looked at Huo Yuande, who appeared to have a well-thought-out plan.

"My suggestion is, let's fish in troubled waters."

"Just release a Clone to put on a show, and then fire a few Dragon Breaths toward the Eight Kings to provoke them."

After hearing Huo Yuande's words, Shui Yuande was puzzled.

"Why should we provoke the Eight Kings? Isn't that just adding to the chaos?"

"Isn't it chaotic enough already?"

"I'm just afraid that when the time comes, the Dragon God will blame us directly, and we won't be able to withstand the Dragon God's rage."

Shui Yuande's words also made sense.

"Then we shall settle for the next best thing; we won't add to the chaos, but we won't initiate any attacks either, how about that?"

"After this battle ends, we'll hide in a plane where even the Dragon God can't find us and raise a few litters of dragon whelps, how about it?"

Huo Yuande had the expression of a big bad wolf.

"Hmm."

Shui Yuande lowered his head slightly and gave a response.

"Ye Bai, according to the intelligence sent by my Huo Yuande, he has already turned the deep-sea dragon Shui Yuande and the earth dragon Tu Yuan De; Wind Virtue himself is a dragon who likes to show off and prefers to do the bare minimum."

"Therefore, the Four Cardinal Virtues will not cause serious impact on the periphery of the Haoshen Abyss."

"Our potential enemies now, besides the Eight Kings, are only the Gospel Society."

Ye Bai shook his head; he did not agree with Ye Canghai's viewpoint.

"No, this viewpoint of yours is wrong."

"It is extremely wrong."

"The Resurrection Society is very likely to take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble."

Ye Canghai slapped his forehead suddenly, "You know, I really did forget about those bastards from the Resurrection Society."

"I still have a debt to settle with the Resurrection Society."

Ye Bai was worried that the Resurrection Society would take advantage of this time to implement the Trinity Project.
