Chapter 792: No One Can Act Cool In Front Of Me
Hearing these words, and then thinking of the [Destiny Weave Net] in the status bar.
The God of Storms and Flames's dying words, "the Gods are not that simple," echoed in Li Yu's ears again.
The Venerable of Fate had broken through the boundaries of space-time, or rather, was using an entirely different kind of power.
The Chrono-Spatial Barrier enveloping Mo Duo's body surface obviously couldn't intercept this kind of power.
"Very wondrous, isn't it? I just found a wanderer on a random planet, and he helped me find the illustrious Your Excellency Dragon Lord."
The other party's smile was gentle, but the pretentious aura was full to the brim.
"Tsk, it is indeed very wondrous..." Li Yu looked at the other party and suddenly spoke: "The Venerable of Fate is indeed extraordinary."
If you want to act cool in front of me, you should first go back and cultivate for a while.
As soon as this was said, the smile on the other party's face froze for a moment, and then slowly faded away, saying: "Your Excellency Dragon Lord's eyesight is admirable."
Could his characteristics already be this obvious?
The power of destiny was mysterious, unpredictable, ethereal, and indeterminate. How could it be recognized at a glance?
"Did you use the Destiny Weave Net to weave Mo Duo's destiny, which is why you found her?" Li Yu asked with considerable curiosity.
This should be some high-end application of Information State. Normal Super Lifeforms couldn't achieve this.
Destiny Weave Net!
The Venerable of Fate's expression underwent a distinct change, even appearing somewhat astonished and uncertain.
If recognizing him could still be a coincidence or precise deduction or something similar.
But knowing this name was completely without reason.
Even if other Divine Spirits might have some understanding of his methods, it was impossible for them to know the name of this method.
Although he was proficient in the mysterious and unpredictable "destiny", he wasn't omniscient. And Li Yu, who already made him curious, was now covered in an even thicker veil.
"Your Excellency Dragon Lord seems to know far more than I imagined," he said slowly.
"I just know a little bit. What I'm more curious about is whether you discovered anything strange when you wove my destiny," Li Yu asked. What he wanted to know was whether the external manifestation of the System had affected the Venerable of Fate.
He even knows that I wove his destiny!
How could he sense it?
The Venerable of Fate's expression grew taut. The development of this meeting had completely exceeded his expectations, heading in a direction he hadn't imagined at all.
"I completely cannot weave Your Excellency's destiny," the Venerable of Fate said, lacking his initial Light as Wind and Cloud demeanor. "It's just some minor tricks, not worth mentioning."
Li Yu thought for a moment and added: "Indeed..."
Venerable of Fate: "..."
You have no manners at all. I was just being modest, couldn't you tell?
He was somewhat Speechless. His rhythm had been completely disrupted, so he simply chose to Get Straight to the Point and said: "I know it was Your Excellency who killed the Old Ones' people and abducted the Nightmare God."
"The Venerable is so well-informed..." Li Yu's tone was unenthusiastic.
"I also know that Xia En deliberately came to infiltrate..."
"Awesome, awesome..."
Off-screen, Xia En dazedly raised his head. Motherfucker, why does it seem like everyone and their dog knows I'm here to infiltrate?
The Venerable of Fate's face darkened as he said: "I also know that his ultimate goal is the Supreme Forge..."
"Oh?" Li Yu's expression finally changed somewhat: "You know too?"
Too?
Catching this word, Xia En's heart collapsed even more.
Did the Star Glory Empire hand out flyers outside?
Is news like the Supreme Forge known by everyone now?
That's right, the Supreme Forge was his true goal.
Although the status of a Councilor was pretty good, and there was also a combat power augmentation making it comparable to a Super Lifeform.
But that was just being a local tyrant within the God Council. Whether it could compare to the Emperor's throne was still uncertain.
It was completely not worth him giving up his status as a Designated Heir to come to the God Council.
But the Supreme Forge was worth it. If the plan went smoothly, the Star Glory Empire would take a massive step forward.
But how did these two guys know about it?
"In the entire God Council, who else knows?" Li Yu asked.
"Rest assured, not many people know," the Venerable of Fate shook his head.
"So, the purpose of Your Excellency's visit is?"
Since he had determined that the Venerable of Fate wasn't purely here to act cool, they could talk properly next.
"I request Your Excellency to release the Nightmare God." His words surprised Li Yu a little.
He couldn't help but glance at the confused Xia En and said: "Are you related to him?"
Xia En subconsciously shook his head. After coming to the God Council, the number of times he had heard the four words "Venerable of Fate" could be counted on one's fingers.
"Your Excellency Dragon Lord, please don't joke around..." The Venerable of Fate was Speechless again, saying: "Since you also know about the Supreme Forge, you should understand that if the Nightmare God is not allowed to become the master of the Thirteenth Divine Throne, the Supreme Forge will never appear."
Li Yu's eyes shifted slightly. He glanced at Xia En, whose mouth was opened wide but couldn't say anything.
He most likely wanted the Venerable of Fate to stop talking.
"Why?" Li Yu asked. This sentence caught the Venerable of Fate's attention, and he asked in return: "You don't know?"
"I truly don't know..." Li Yu was very frank and said: "But I advise you best not to hide anything. The Supreme Forge is not a necessity for me. You can think about who would suffer a greater loss if I butcher him."
The Venerable of Fate knew that if he couldn't convince Li Yu today, then Xia En would be in danger.
His "destiny" techniques were very miraculous, but they also had limitations.
They weren't prophetic methods.
If he wanted to deal with someone, he had to spend a massive amount of time to set up a grand destiny layout.
The upper limit was high enough to plot a Super Lifeform to death.
Although he could contact Li Yu, he was completely unable to pinpoint their location in a short time.
He could only confirm the existence of Mo Duo by Li Yu's side, and rely on the Blazing Eye Remnant to be able to contact the other party in a short time.
But in a short time, this was the limit.
"The designated person for the Thirteenth Divine Throne forged by the Star Glory Empire is Xia En. This involves an Authority issue; other people cannot possibly be recognized," the Venerable of Fate explained.
"Is that all?" Li Yu asked. He remembered back when the Thirteenth Divine Throne was still in Returning Star, he had expended a massive amount of Power of Faith to Enlighten a portion of it.
In other words, half of the Authority was in his hands and could be manipulated.
"It's more than that..." the Venerable of Fate continued: "Xia En is also an 'Information State Anomaly Body'..."
"What the heck is that?" Li Yu's face looked strange.
"Information State Anomaly Body"?
He had heard of Elemental Affinity Bodies, but he had never heard this term before.
"Xia En naturally interferes with Information State. It belongs to a special cosmic phenomenon," the Venerable of Fate explained. "This is my own name for it; the Star Glory Empire probably has another name for it."
Xia En's expression was sluggish. His greatest secret had been spilled out just like that.
"That is to say, he is naturally akin to a Super Lifeform?"
"It's different," the Venerable of Fate shook his head. "A Super Lifeform's constitution only restrains its own Information State. Even if it affects external Information State, it's still within Cosmic Rules."
"But Xia En's Disruption is completely outside of Cosmic Rules."
"He's a bug?" Li Yu's expression grew even stranger. Just how exactly did The Emperor give birth to him?
No wonder he let Xia En personally come to infiltrate. You couldn't find a second bug constitution in the entire Interstellar.
"Pretty much..." The Venerable of Fate nodded: "The Supreme Forge is hidden in the form of Information State within the Twelve Divine Thrones, and the Twelve Divine Thrones form a self-contained system. The Councilor system also ensures that outsiders find it difficult to pose a threat to it."
Well, Information State again. This kind of cosmic Safe Deposit Box was something the Titan Civilization used quite handily.
Li Yu felt his teeth twitching.
The Venerable of Fate continued: "To get the Supreme Forge, one must first break this balance of the Divine Thrones acting as a single entity, and then use Xia En's uniqueness to force the Supreme Forge out."
"Only Xia En alone can satisfy this series of conditions."
"Therefore, if you want to get the Supreme Forge, you must release him."
Hearing this, Li Yu revealed a thoughtful expression, rubbing his chin as he looked at Xia En.
Suddenly, he asked: "Fundamentally, Xia En just bears the role of finally using his special constitution to disrupt the Information State form of the Supreme Forge, right."
"Pretty much..." the Venerable of Fate nodded and said: "But to avoid accidents, the Star Glory Empire bound the Thirteenth Divine Throne to Xia En, which can be considered as creating a Super Lifeform to help them in the final battle."
"Bound..." Li Yu muttered twice, and then sized up the Venerable of Fate, saying: "You shouldn't be the Star Glory Empire's collaborator, right."
"No, I only learned of this news through some channels," the Venerable of Fate shook his head, without saying who it was.
"Very good. Then do you have any interest in cooperating with us now?" Li Yu revealed a smile.
"Cooperate with you..." The Venerable of Fate was somewhat surprised. Having said so much, he was essentially just releasing a piece of information.
Which was to have Li Yu release Xia En, whether it was to negotiate a deal with the Star Glory Empire or whatever.
Only by releasing him could the Supreme Forge possibly appear, otherwise there would be nowhere to snatch it from.
"How to cooperate?" He didn't refuse, and asked.
"Help me push her onto the Thirteenth Divine Throne..." Li Yu pointed at the bewildered Mo Duo and said.
How to rapidly increase one's Strength in the God Council?
Of course it was by joining a Councilor's Divine Pantheon, and then slightly adjusting the rankings. Naturally, there would be countless Believers providing Power of Faith.
This was exactly what Xia En did.
"I said..." The Venerable of Fate still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Yu: "I know you want to talk about the Authority issue, but rest assured, I naturally have a way to solve it."
The Venerable of Fate frowned slightly: "That Divine Throne was..." He paused and said: "It's not that simple to change, otherwise I wouldn't have come over to persuade you."
"If this kind of skeleton key can appear, what else is impossible? Just treat me as a bug too." Li Yu looked at Xia En.
If the Titan's Information State preservation method was a Safe Deposit Box, then Xia En was a skeleton key.
It was a good thing the Information State of the Titan Sanctuary was wandering across the entire Interstellar without a specific location, otherwise they would all be pried open by Xia En.
Seeing Li Yu's appearance of holding the winning ticket, the Venerable of Fate hesitated slightly.
But then he thought that the initiative was in the other party's hands. Even if the other party didn't release Xia En, there was nothing he could do.
So he nodded and said: "Since you are so confident, then I will accompany you to try. After it's done, if you get the Supreme Forge, I want to borrow the Supreme Forge to use for a period of time."
"Extract Source Matter?" Li Yu asked curiously.
"Extract Destiny Source Matter." The Venerable of Fate didn't hide it, nor could he hide it.
His original plan was to show his hand to the Star Glory Empire at some critical moment, in exchange for the right to use the Supreme Forge.
Even during the previous Returning Star incident, there were traces of him adding fuel to the flames.
And it was the same now, cooperating with Li Yu.
"No problem," Li Yu neatly agreed, and then said: "Now you can tell me, who is the Star Glory Empire's collaborator in the God Council?"
The Venerable of Fate only hesitated slightly before saying: "The Divine Forging Master. The blueprint or the embryonic form of the Thirteenth Divine Throne was given to the Star Glory Empire by him."
"The Divine Forging Master..." Li Yu muttered. This guy was just as low-key as the Venerable of Fate, not showing his mountains or revealing his waters.
And while Li Yu and the Venerable of Fate were discussing some deeper information, some things were also happening.
……………
Within the borders of the Star Glory Empire, a fleet was slowly sailing. On the surface, this looked like a normal merchant fleet.
The Captain stood nervously in front of the porthole and asked his subordinate: "How many days until we reach the Destination."
"About four more days..."
This time wasn't long, but the Captain still appeared restless, cursing in a low voice:
"Which damned bastard provoked the Star Glory Empire again? Under a territory-wide state of alert, we have to live in fear every single day."
Right at this moment, the Spaceship's Radar suddenly sounded.
"Please note! There is a Space Lockdown area ahead, unable to maintain Warp Mode. Please stop the Warp or detour..."
The Captain froze for a moment, his face instantly turning extremely pale. Just as he was about to hastily order the fleet to detour, the Spaceship suddenly received a communication.
"This is the Imperial Patrol Fleet, temporarily inspecting all passing Spaceships. Please stop the Ship immediately and cooperate. Repeat, please stop the Ship immediately..."
Hearing this, the Captain grew even more nervous, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He could only order the fleet to stop.
Several Imperial Ships immediately came forward, turning on various detection equipment to scan the fleet.
At the same time, the projection of someone looking like a Military Officer appeared on the communication screen, saying expressionlessly:
"Please show your identification codes, merchant licenses, navigation certificates, list of entourage, as well as the Ship's System Log..."
"Yes, yes..."
The Captain smiled forcefully. His state was clearly somewhat off. The Military Officer keenly noticed this and secretly signaled his subordinates to investigate carefully.
Not long after, explosive fireworks suddenly came from a certain Spaceship.
An Agile Figure was killing her way out from the heavily surrounded soldiers. Her Strength was quite strong, and a metal tail acted like a bladed meat grinder, causing massive destruction.
But in the next moment, she was firmly pressed down onto the Spaceship deck by a figure descending from the sky, directly smashing out a deep crater.
The stern-faced Military Officer aimed his Smart Terminal at this person's face. After a burst of scanning, a look of joy fiercely surfaced on his face--
"Mithril Church -- Mithril Guard -- Codename -- Widow!"
