The Key to Breaking the Deadlock: An Ace Up His Sleeve!

Unknowing Island.

Inside a luxurious restaurant.

A large table was piled high with delicacies.

Qi Yu with great relish.

On his left and right were Chen Ning and Hua Xiaodie, respectively.

Now.

Chen Ning also officially met Hua Xiaodie.

She and Qi Yu grew up together, but she gave up a more glamorous status and willingly became the most beautiful courtesan here.

So that I can help the other party in crucial moments.

In fact, she did just that.

Without her diversionary tactic, it would have been virtually impossible for Qi Yu to contact Chen Ning.

Chen Ning couldn't help but sigh, "What a kind and loyal girl!"

The two of them watched calmly as Qi Yu wolfed down his food.

Not long after.

With a satisfied expression, Qi Yu rubbed his belly and smiled at the two of them, "This was truly delightful! You have no idea what kind of life I've been living in the Unknowing Pavilion these past few days; I couldn't even get meat."

Are you full now?

Chen Ning raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I'm about 80% full."

Qi Yu chuckled.

Chen Ning stared in astonishment at the empty plates and dishes on the table, but he remained calm and said, "Now that you're full, it's time to get down to business."

"What important business is it?"

Qi Yu looked completely bewildered.

Chen Ning suddenly felt an urge to strangle him, and said with a dark face, "Of course, it's to regain control of this Unknowing Island!"

The Unknowing Island is now completely under the control of Zhu Taichong and his group.

Qi Yu and his apprentice have been sidelined.

Although he is still nominally the island owner.

But those who truly controlled everything on the island were Zhu Taichong and others.

Qi Yu scratched his head and said, "Brother Chen, you come representing the Yutian True God. Isn't this a battle between you and the Crimson Refinement True God? I'm just a weak and pitiful tool."

"You little fatty, you were begging me to join you back then, and now you're not going to care about anything, are you? In that case, I'm not getting involved in this mess. I'm going to go and beg for peace with the Crimson Refinement True God! You can wait to be imprisoned for life."

After saying that, Chen Ning got up to leave.

A fragrant breeze wafted by.

Hua Xiaodie quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ning's arm, saying, "Young Master Chen, that's not what he meant. He always likes to joke."

As he spoke.

She glared at Qi Yu again and said, "Can't you be serious for once at a time like this?"

"Okay, okay."

Qi Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, I'm not joking anymore. Although I, Qi Yu, am greedy for life and cowardly, and quite cunning, I never break my promise. Now that I've made my promise to Brother Chen, from this day forward, Unknowing Island will be your strongest ally!"

"Stop with the empty talk, let's get practical. What should we do now?"

Chen Ning spoke in an annoyed tone.

Qi Yu laughed and said, "Actually, it's not easy to regain control of Unknowing Island. The Four Heavenly Kings of the Southern Territory firmly control the Unknowing Island. You and I haven't even stepped into the God Realm yet, so we simply can't defeat them."

"Perhaps I can get the Qilin True God me."

"Asking for outside help is unrealistic. Besides, you've asked a god from the Eastern Territory. If it were truly the Qilin True God sending someone to help, the Crimson Refinement True God would definitely use it as an excuse, and you'd end up giving him leverage."

Qi Yu said, "Therefore, the key to regaining control is for the Yutian True God to give the order. As long as he gives the command, even the Crimson Refinement True God will have to slink away and hand over the Unknowing Island."

"The problem is, the Yutian True God hasn't yet broken through this barrier."

Chen Ning frowned.

This trip was truly a tough chore.

Although he had the Heaven Character Token, it was not enough to make a decisive difference.

Moreover...

This time, it was more of a test of the Yutian True God's ability to handle affairs.

So.

Only he can fight against the Crimson Refinement True God.

In other words, the Crimson Refinement True God is ultimately a Middle God, and can tacitly acknowledge the Yutian True God as his king.

But even the Middle God have their tempers.

Unless there is a real benefit at stake, the Yutian True God couldn't directly order the Crimson Refinement True God around.

So that's where the difficulty lies.

Chen Ning's current position is somewhat awkward; he has power, but not all of it.

Qi Yu, unusually serious, said, "Brother Chen, as long as we achieve some progress, we'll have enough reason to persuade the Yutian True God to make you the ruler of the Unknowing Island."

What were the results?

"The Yutian True God has obtained the formula, but I believe that after obtaining it, he will calm down. This is because the conditions for this formula are extremely strict, making it very difficult to refine another Divine Spark Fruit. This is why he gave you some authority, but not enough authority."

He mainly wanted to test my abilities.

"That's right."

Qi Yu nodded. "The current situation is that whether you do this or the Crimson Refinement True God takes control of the Unknowing Island, it's almost the same for him, because it's difficult to create new Divine Spark Fruit. But if you can provide a solution, he will definitely let you completely take control of the Unknowing Island."

"Easier said than done, the conditions are so stringent, how can there be a solution?"

Chen Ning's expression changed slightly as he said this, then he stared at Qi Yu and exclaimed in realization, "You little fatty, you were holding back, weren't you?"

"Brother Chen is indeed exceptionally intelligent."

Qi Yu did not deny it, and said, "The Divine Spark Fruit is originally very difficult to refine again, but if we can refine the Divine Spark Fruit again with external force, then it will be enough to make the Yutian True God give his word and hand over the entire Unknowing Island to Brother Chen for management."

Chen Ning nodded slightly.

If that's the case, then it is indeed feasible.

Qi Yu continued, "I was prepared. Unknowing Island, whose crystal ore contains the power of various elements. It can be used to build a sacred altar. The success rate of refining Divine Spark Fruit within the scope of this sacred altar can be greatly increased."

"In that case, let's get started on the preparations."

Chen Ning couldn't help but glance at Qi Yu again.

Although this chubby boy learned his skills from his master, he himself is definitely not bad.

They not only kept a backup plan.

Moreover, his ability to find such a solution demonstrates his competence.

"I'm afraid it's not possible right now."

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "This crystal mine is extremely valuable. We must be careful and make sure Zhu Taichong and the others don't find out. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble if it's destroyed."

"Then we can feign an attack on one side while secretly advancing on the other."

Chen Ning said, "We need to confuse them first, and most importantly, deceive Zhu Taichong!"

"Brother Chen, do you have an idea?"

Qi Yu's eyes lit up.

Chen Ning nodded.

Next, Chen Ning and Qi Yu quickly began to formulate a plan.

They wanted to build this altar secretly.

It's not an easy task either.

The first step is to deceive Zhu Taichong.

Of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Southern Territory, the least gullible is the cunning and treacherous Zhu Taichong.

But.

With Yuan Xifeng as their hidden asset, they still have a great chance of winning.
