Chapter 999: The Sea of Omniscience Was Blasted Open

Anthony tapped his badge and went forward, chatted with the two Mourning Undead Soldiers, and showed them several other permits and authorizations he had obtained from the Grand Chairman, along with a sign he had tricked into existence reading "The Grand Chairman Is Here Personally."

The two Mourning Undead Soldiers looked somewhat frightened, their figures hunching over; they bowed and shook hands. Anthony also shook hands and bowed warmly. He said something unknown, and the two Mourning Undead Soldiers nodded repeatedly, then smiled as well.

Both sides parted amicably; the Mourning Undead Soldiers returned the way they came, trotting away in a hurry.

Returning to their original spot, a human priest jumped out trying to stop them, shouting things like "Chairman Leo," "breaking promises," and "you cannot leave," but the Mourning Undead Soldiers slapped him to the ground and then ran past him.

Anthony returned to the semi-submersible, and Nai Ge Li Si asked impatiently: "What did you say to them? How did you scare them off? Is the 'Good Friend Badge' that powerful?"

Nai Ge Li Si had always despised things bearing titles like "Good Friend," "Distinguished Guest," or "Friendly Person," feeling they offered empty promises with no substance, possessing no binding force whatsoever.

However, Yin Bi and Anthony liked such titles very much; bearing such names, whether opening trade routes, moral kidnapping, monopolizing operations, or attracting investment, would draw a crowd of enthusiastic people, converting these empty names into tangible benefits through commercial or diplomatic means.

Nai Ge Li Si lacked this ability, so he looked down on such flimsy things, but seeing the reaction of those two Mourning Undead Soldiers, did the Grand Chairman's Good Friend Badge possess some binding force after all?

Anthony shrugged: "It is not the badge that is powerful, but the Grand Chairman. They actually did not know the Grand Chairman had returned? That is interesting."

"Interesting? What do you mean?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, confused.

Anthony pursed his lips, looked up, and asked: "Yin Bi, if the Great Leader of the organization has returned but some people do not know, what does that signify?"

"It signifies those people are marginalized; they are minor characters," Yin Bi replied.

"Ah, wasn't that known long ago? They don't even possess Chaos Power; clearly, their level is lower than those Mourning Skeletons around the Grand Chairman," Nai Ge Li Si said.

Anthony shook his head: "Low strength does not equal low rank. Your strength is so low, but whose importance can compare to yours?"

This praise left Nai Ge Li Si unsure whether to perk up his tail or not; it sounded like flattery, yet it pointed out the fact of his weakness, and as for whose importance could compare to his?

Nai Ge Li Si thought for a moment and said: "Little Angel? Little Zombie? Little Sapling? Little Ghost?" By the end, his voice involuntarily lowered.

Anthony pretended not to hear and continued: "I showed them the Good Friend Badge and said we just came from Zhuoshan, where we met the Grand Chairman, Brit, and Administrator Liya. When I mentioned Administrator Liya, they immediately believed me; many have heard of Brit's name, but Liya is only seven hundred years old, very young, and few in the outside world know her."

"Zhuoshan is guarded by a Mourning Bone Dragon, so generally no one can approach; they haven't returned there in many years and didn't know the Grand Chairman had come back. I said the Grand Chairman is healthy, looks much younger, and is recently dealing with the Light Calamity, asking if they had received the Tree of Life."

"They said they received it; many places have planted it, temporarily suppressing the Light Calamity. It turns out the Tree of Life was brought by the Grand Chairman; they didn't know that. Tsk tsk tsk, this makes it even more interesting," Anthony exclaimed in wonder.

Nai Ge Li Si said crossly: "Don't play riddles with me, or I'll go around saying you have no little ding-dong."

Anthony's spirit trembled; previously he had no concrete image of Nai Ge Li Si's nagging, but now even the dog-headed men by the roadside knew the Black Rope Mercenary Group had captured a native Mourning Skeleton. No wonder Your Majesty erased its memory; the nagging was too disgusting.

Anthony did not want to become a "native Mourning" and quickly said: "These Mourning Undead Soldiers actually didn't know the Tree of Life was issued by the Grand Chairman; no one told them. Clearly, the Leo faction does not consider them insiders either."

The Shenguangtong Alliance has seven major powers; besides the Grand Chairman, the other six powers each have twelve Mourning Undead Soldiers. These Mourning Undead Soldiers are nominally loyal to the chairmen of each power, but in reality, there is no forced soul connection, meaning they do not obey, and the major powers can do nothing about them.

So essentially, they are pawns the Grand Chairman planted within the major powers. The major powers know they are pawns; facing such pawns that cannot be beaten or killed, the best strategy is to marginalize them or send them to chew on tough bones.

Thus, the secret actions of several noble youths received protection from two Mourning Undead Soldiers, while unknown things like the Light Point Fortress would make the Mourning Undead Soldiers step on mines.

They probably still think the Mourning Undead Legion was lost at the Light Point Fortress, unaware they fell into Empress Feilie's Empire's ambush.

In this way, exploiting their discord offers much room for maneuver.

As Anthony was pondering, Koni Sai suddenly flew up beside him, heading forward to meet them.

Anthony followed his gaze and saw many people rushing out from a distance, grabbing the priest who had been slapped down by the Mourning Undead Soldiers, and escorting them this way.

A very realistic scene: the arrival of the Mourning Undead Soldiers caused the Sanctuary Guardians to turn to Bonide, and their departure caused everyone to betray Bonide, falling from the clouds to hell in an instant.

However, Koni Sai went forward to meet them without even greeting, perhaps unable to place himself correctly?

Anthony frowned, but soon seemed to think of something; his brows relaxed, and he nodded approvingly.

Seeing his change of expression, Nai Ge Li Si got angry: "Explain."

Anthony explained: "Given his slickness, he could not possibly be unable to place himself correctly, so his acting on his own initiative must be intentional. I am the Reincarnated Lord of Omniscience, and it is hard for me to do things violating the setting; he probably wants to play the villain and present a clean sect to me."

As expected, after Koni Sai went forward, he immediately beheaded Bonide without a word, then selected some people from the group, had others kill them, and among those who had killed, selected a few to fly this way.

Anthony was very satisfied; this Koni Sai was ruthless, smooth in his methods, good at gauging the situation, and unafraid of taking the blame, making him an excellent subordinate. This way, Anthony could maintain his glorious image while leaving the villainy to Koni Sai.

Just as he was about to say something, Seeing Ange suddenly leaped up and struck hard with one hand.

The Lightning Spear suddenly vanished, losing its focus, but the accumulated lightning energy with massive power of Lei Ting "Crack!" struck the ground, blasting open a huge spatial rift, revealing white Bai Huahua grains inside.

The Sea of Omniscience was blasted open.
