Chapter 926: Happy Cooperation
Happy Cooperation
"You... oh no, perhaps I should call you Your Majesty." The Silver King spoke somewhat innocently. "Your Majesty misunderstands. I came this time because I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperate?" Ying Fu was expressionless.
"The Human Domains want Your Majesty dead because they fear Your Majesty. They fear Your Majesty will subvert the current structure of the Human Domains... But I am different." The Silver King opened his arms and said with a smile,
"What I want is to subvert them and recreate a new order... On this point, my goal is the same as Your Majesty's.
I already have an Ancient Vault of my own, a Domain of my own, as well as a massive population, sufficient productivity, a group of subordinates with absolute Combat Power, and the Ancient Vault of the Witchcraft Path that can continuously produce wizards... Besides that, I also have a Nine Monarchs ally who can convert infinite resources.
Combat Power, population, resources, foundation, I have everything..."
The Silver King gazed into Ying Fu's eyes, like an ambitious schemer standing On Stage, eloquently delivering his speech.
"And Your Majesty, you are the Path of the Sovereign. As long as you have enough subjects and resources, you can increase your Combat Power cost-free in the shortest amount of time... Right now, you are all alone. If you follow the standard procedure to accumulate strength and absorb subjects, how long will it take to subvert this world?
It won't be long before you, I, and Lou Yu, the three of us joining forces, can sweep across the world."
"Endow."
This word mixed in the Silver King's speech, seemingly intentional yet seemingly unintentional, conveying a certain message to Ying Fu...
How deep were Ying Fu's thoughts? When this word came out, he guessed the other party's purpose... In the end, the Silver King wanted to pull him into his group, borrowing the "Emperor's" suppression over other Divine Paths to deal with the Human Domains.
A Silver King, a Lord of Wuji, Lou Yu; the Combat Power of these two could already rival the other Human Domains. If the "Emperor's" power was added, the defeat of the Human Domains would become almost inevitable... Therefore, the Silver King was willing to cooperate with him, even using some of his own resources to help the "Emperor" grow as quickly as possible, because the stronger Ying Fu grew, the easier it would be for them to conquer the other Human Domains.
But naturally, all of this came at a price.
The current Ying Fu had just obtained the Path of the Sovereign. He had no subjects, no power, not even the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path as a backing. He was a true lone emperor... Meanwhile, the Silver King's faction was too massive. The two sides were unequal from the very beginning. Calling it cooperation, what the Silver King actually wanted was just the tool known as the "Emperor."
That was why, upon meeting, he tried to steal his Divine Path. If the Silver King could steal it, he himself would possess the power to suppress other Divine Paths, and Ying Fu would be worthless to him...
The so-called cooperation was merely the Silver King's second-best option after failing to steal.
There was no expression on Ying Fu's face. He merely looked at the Silver King's eyes and gave a faint "Oh?"
"Meeting for the first time, it's normal for Your Majesty not to trust me... But coincidentally, on my way here, I found an interesting item that can serve as a gift for Your Majesty."
The Silver King smiled slightly. He waved his hand in the void, and a mud-like figure appeared out of thin air, smashing onto the ground with a thud.
If Bai Ye and the others were here and saw that person, they would definitely be incredibly surprised... because it was none other than the Thief Saint Mo Lian, who had just gone missing.
"Gift?" Ying Fu looked at the unconscious Mo Lian, his eyebrows raising slightly.
"He is my subordinate, but his memories have all been dug out by someone. Right now, he is just a blank piece of paper with empty Rank and Divine Path." The Silver King casually grabbed his hair, lifting him from the ground, and smiled,
"Giving him to Your Majesty as a subject... What does Your Majesty think?"
A hint of strangeness flashed in Ying Fu's gaze toward the Silver King.
No matter what, Mo Lian was still a Seventh-Rank Thief Saint. Talents like this were not common in the world. The Silver King actually being willing to give his subordinate to Ying Fu so casually surprised him a bit...
The current Ying Fu was merely at the Third Tier, but in Mo Lian's current state, it was almost impossible for him to refuse the Palace Examination. If he subdued him, Ying Fu's Rank would also cross four Ranks, leaping to the Seventh Rank.
Not to say he would be invincible in the world, but at least in this era, he would have the power to protect himself, and subduing other subjects would be much more convenient.
"You are quite generous."
Ying Fu merely glanced at Mo Lian and then unconcernedly shifted his gaze back to the Silver King. "Then after subverting the world? What do you want?"
"Afterwards?" The Silver King smiled. "After that, I have no demands. I just want to establish The Church all over the world, spread the Fire-Stealers' teachings, and have the populace believe in me. That will be enough... As for the rest, I will leave it to you."
Hearing these words, Ying Fu narrowed his eyes slightly. No one knew what he was thinking, only that his gaze was as deep as an abyss.
He stood there quietly, as if weighing and pondering. Finally, he slowly spoke:
"We, can cooperate with you... But We have two demands."
"What demands?"
"First, We want to come and go freely, with unrestricted access to all places. Second, aside from you and Lou Yu, We want jurisdictional authority over everyone else." Ying Fu stood with his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.
Hearing these demands, the Silver King was somewhat surprised. He frowned at Ying Fu, as if unable to guess what the other party was thinking...
"...Acceptable, but coming and going freely is limited to within the Wuji Domain." The Silver King deliberated for a long time before finally nodding.
The meaning of this sentence was actually already very obvious. Although it was called cooperation, the Silver King simply wanted to place Ying Fu under house arrest within the Wuji Domain. Once he left the Wuji Domain, his actions would have to be directed by the Silver King.
"Brother Xiao Li... are we going back to the Wuji Domain again?" A-Qian couldn't understand the words between the two, but she roughly knew that it seemed they had to go back again.
Before Ying Fu could speak, the Silver King spoke with a smile,
"Yes, little sister... But rest assured, the Wuji Domain is my territory. I will guarantee your safety."
As the Silver King spoke, he stroked the air in front of him from a distance. At the same time, A-Qian's hair, which was far away, seemed to be stroked by a giant hand, messing up slightly... A-Qian held her head, feeling bewildered and helpless.
"This little sister is truly cute, no wonder Your Majesty wants to keep her with you all the time." The Silver King smiled while looking back at Ying Fu with profound meaning.
Ying Fu's gaze instantly turned bone-chillingly cold!
He raised his hand and placed it on A-Qian's head beside him. The Silver King, who was stroking the air from a distance, also made no further superfluous movements. He merely smiled and raised the empty wine glass in his hand, swirling it toward Ying Fu,
"Your Majesty, happy cooperation."
