Chapter 1048: Chapter 699: Chips

Even Li Changhe and Xiao Nan, who had experienced various worlds and conspiracies, fell silent at this moment.

The ambition of the Queen of Xuan City was far more lofty than Li Changhe had imagined.

She actually wanted to use the power of the insect god to replace the entire life hierarchy of humanity...

Could this be what is called "vision"?

This shared a certain ingenuity with the Extraordinary Association’s plan for universal transcendence.

The Queen of Xuan City claimed she would change the era, and it seemed she truly would.

If her plan were successful, the humans of this world would indeed benefit.

And the Queen of Xuan City’s enthusiasm for this plan far exceeded Li Changhe’s expectations.

She clung tightly to Li Changhe’s arm, revealing her arms as smooth and soft as silk.

At the same time, her eyes brimmed with hope and dreams for the future.

"Help me, Little Chen Guang. With your strength and life advancement technology, we might soon change everything," the Queen’s voice was incredibly seductive.

"A hero in his twilight years, a beauty with graying hair. This is the world’s most regrettable tragedy, yet once we succeed, humanity will no longer have to suffer this pain."

"I know you come from that Great Tang Protectorate that has contended with the insect god, and that you’re a bizarre existence capable of traversing various worlds, but I don’t care about your identity. Because you are someone who will surely understand me. Your life advancement technology even surpasses mine! Come help me, Little Chen Guang, and I will share with you the resources of Xuan City, share the strength of the insect god. If you wish, I can give you Xuan City, for you to become the City Lord of Xuan City, and I can be your queen... Together, we can create a new world,"

The Queen’s face gradually flushed, not from any bashfulness that might arise from nearing the opposite sex, but from the extreme excitement she felt.

In her view, passions and chastity were far less important than her plans.

This perhaps was why she valued Li Changhe so much, upon discovering someone who had received the power of the insect god like herself, whose life advancement technology even surpassed her own.

She was so excited and pleasantly surprised.

At that moment, it wouldn’t matter to her if the person before her was male or female, she would no longer care.

Even if it were He Feng, she would have behaved in the same way.

She would make immense promises, unimaginable, to acquire the technology she desired. Even at the cost of her power, even offering her body, she wouldn’t mind in the slightest.

And to most people, these would be chips too difficult to refuse.

Become the City Lord of Xuan City? That would mean leaping to become one of the top figures on this continent. And sharing the strength of the insect god would elevate one’s own power. Of course, to some, Xuan City, filled with beauties, could also become his harem city.

The power to direct the nations, inherit the strength of the insect god, the beauty of the entire Xuan City, including herself... That was the Queen of Xuan City’s bargaining chip.

She was already lost in the wonderful fantasy of her plan’s success; in other words, she had descended into madness.

As the Queen’s emotions grew more agitated, Li Changhe felt the air around them grow somewhat stagnant, as if some force was gathering.

Li Changhe could vaguely see the golden idol flickering in the void before him.

It was a colossal golden statue with an indistinct face, known as the first City Lord who established Xuan City, also referred to as the Master of Xuan City.

She was clad in leather armor, holding a golden spear, standing tall in that void, guarding her people.

This was also the target of Li Changhe’s mission to destroy.

But that was only a vision Li Changhe saw when divinity fluctuated, and he had no way of discerning its location.

Perhaps to get Li Changhe to agree to her bargain, after the appearance of the golden divine statue.

Li Changhe seemed to feel his soul being pulled, as if agreeing with the plan of the Queen of Xuan City.

At the same time, Yun Ting’s voice echoed in Li Changhe’s mind: "Something is not quite right; it seems to be a mental interference."

"Hmm, I know," Li Changhe knew what was going on.

In Great Tang, it was said many soldiers and officials were just like now, with their souls plunged into the abyss and completely corrupted into believers of the Evil God.

Some of them had merely read a book, looked at a painting, or even just heard a voice.

And just like that, they were quietly corrupted.

Now, the Queen of Xuan City also seemed to be using similar methods to lure Li Changhe’s soul.

Unfortunately for her, both Li Changhe and Xiao Nan were divine creatures, not too concerned with such corruption.

However, the time hadn’t come to have a falling out with the Queen of Xuan City.

Thus, Li Changhe calmly withdrew his arm and said, "I am flattered by Your Majesty’s kind offer, but I need to think it over."

The Queen of Xuan City seemed somewhat surprised by Li Changhe’s composure, but she still smiled and said, "Of course, Little Chen Guang. Time is not an issue. However, it’s getting late, and tomorrow is the Grand Festival Day of Xuan City. Why don’t you stay in the inner city tonight? I have prepared a mansion for you. Even if the Protectorate of Great Tang has any moves to make, I can protect you better."

Though she spoke of protection, in reality, she wanted to keep Li Changhe at hand. Should Li Changhe refuse, she likely had other methods to obtain everything she desired.

This was actually the main reason she invited Li Changhe into the inner city.

However, the golden statue had not yet been found, and the plan for the outer city was still underway; they needed to buy time for them.

Therefore, Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "Then I thank Your Majesty. I must admit, I have not enjoyed such treatment in the Protectorate of Great Tang."

"Then they are indeed ignorant. When we find the time, how about I help you seize the position of the Jiedu Envoy?" the Queen chuckled.

"That would be great; thank you, Your Majesty," Li Changhe grinned.

This wasn’t actually a lie, as the Protectorate of Great Tang had been established just the previous night, and by Li Changhe himself no less.

He naturally had not enjoyed any substantial benefits.

Meanwhile, Li Changhe quickly contacted Chen Yu through [Friends]: "I’m using my own chastity to buy you time, hurry up!"

"I understand, we’ll implement the plan tomorrow!" Chen Yu’s expression changed slightly in the inn, responding through [Friends].

She was waiting for the people of Xuan City to fall asleep before using her Nightmare powers to reveal the so-called baptism and the truth about the Bottom Nest.

Finally, to light the ’fuse’...

The power of the City Lord of Xuan City originated from the citizens she sheltered, which over the past hundred years, had coalesced into a Divinity Existence without self-awareness from their beliefs.

Now, if her citizens learned the entire truth, their once firm faith would turn into the flames of revenge!

The Queen of Xuan City’s power would likely be greatly affected as well.

This was actually why Li Changhe and Xiao Nan had proactively entered the other’s Divine Country.

They were responsible for finding the golden statue in the inner city, while Chen Yu was tasked with conveying the truth.

And Qiu Wentian... would be the one to ignite the fire.

(The layout of this instance is a bit complex, and the pacing has been a bit slow, sorry about that.)
