When Ji Lin saw Jing Hongchen was silent, he instantly understood that he had reached a key point.
Jing Hongchen is very smart and an old fox. It is precisely because of this that he thinks more.
Now Jing Hongchen has all the power and controls Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. He is the leader among Rank 9 Soul Master, Hongchen Family also holds a high position in the Sun Moon Empire. Jing Hongchen is even qualified to join Consecration Hall of the Sun Moon Empire and become a worshipper.
But it is precisely because of this that Jing Hongchen knows that after Xu Tianran unifies Douluo Continent, the first ones to attack are these old guys who are in high positions but are not of the same mind as Xu Tianran.
Jing Hongchen knows Xu Tianran's methods very well, and also knows that he is a tycoon. Once Xu Tianran unifies the mainland, Soul Engineer will not With the place of use, Soul Engineer is no longer necessary for the Sun Moon Empire, and the roles of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Mingde Hall will be infinitely reduced.
And the value and status of their Hongchen Family will also be unstable. For big families like them, they can only be useful if the war continues. Even if he joins Worship Hall, one day he will be in the Worship Hall, Xu Tianran Hongchen Family will not be touched, but he is a human, not a god. If he is a human, he will die. Once he dies, and Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen fail to join Worship Hall, then Hongchen Family will definitely face suppression from the royal family.
Without the war, Soul Engineer has no use. No one knows whether Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen can accumulate enough merits to enter Worship Hall while he is alive.
So for Jing Hongchen, from the standpoint of his family, he does not want to see Sun Moon Empire unify Douluo Continent, but from the standpoint of the Sun Moon Empire's people, he hopes that the empire can defeat the three empires and unify Douluo Continent.
This is a contradictory idea, selfish and righteous. It is difficult for Jing Hongchen to make a decision for a while. Unless something unexpected happens, he really can't make a decision. He is not an indecisive person, but if he chooses family, then he will run counter to the Sun Moon Empire's next path. If he chooses the empire, then his family will be suppressed sooner or later. Countless years later, it is difficult to imagine whether Hongchen Family will still exist.
Jing Hongchen closed his eyes and fell into confusion.
He knows very well why Ji Lin came to him. The situation in the mainland is now very clear. Sun Moon Empire will definitely launch a war, and Ji Lin is Star Luo Empire's person. He comes to him to cooperate, doesn't he just want him to betray Sun Moon Empire! But how is that possible! How could he Jing Hongchen betray the country?
Seeing Jing Hongchen wavering, Ji Lin strikes while the iron is hot. "Hall Master Hongchen, you should know that Shrek Seven Devils ten thousand years ago was inherited under the leadership of the Tang Sect founder Tang San Divine Position, and destroyed Spirit Hall, who also had gods at that time, and finally ascended to the Divine Realm with his family. Do you think Divine Realm can become a god with my talent?"
Jing Hongchen suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ji Lin, his heart beating faster. Of course he knew the legend of the Douluo Continent that was thousands of years old. He also firmly believed that Divine Realm and Shrek Academy existed in this world. There were various other signs that showed that this was not a legend but a real case.
He suddenly realized, yes, the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago could become a god, and the current Ji Lin is much better than the Sea God Tang San from ten thousand years ago. At least Sea God Tang San cannot have the million-year Seventh Soul Ring at the age of Ji Lin.
If there is anyone in the mainland who can become a god, in his opinion, only Ji Lin has such potential. Even Meng Hongchen whose Martial Soul Evolution is Ultimate Ice, he never thought that she could become a god. His biggest expectation for Meng Hongchen is Limit Douluo.
"Becoming a god?" Even Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were shocked. They had never thought about such a thing. After all, no one has become a god since Shrek Seven Devils became a god thousands of years ago. Over time, people regarded this as a legend. Even Titled Douluo felt that that realm was out of reach.
Jing Hongchen nodded seriously, "If it were you, it's really possible. Maybe in this era, we can really witness the emergence of gods.
Meng Hongchen's eyes were a little crazy, while Xiao Hongchen's eyes were dull. He never expected that grandpa actually thought that Ji Lin had the potential to become a god.
"But! Jing Hongchen changed his voice and said in a deep voice: "So what if you can become a god? The war is imminent. No matter how talented you are, you will not be able to become a god in a few years. And the original Three Douluo Kingdoms cannot last until you become a god." "
Ji Lin nodded and said, "Yes, I don't have enough time, so I came to you to cooperate."
Jing Hongchen frowned and said, "Looking at Meng's face, the most I can do is protect you and the people around you, but it is impossible for me to betray the empire."
Jing Hongchen knows very well how powerful Sun Moon Empire is now. To betray the empire is undoubtedly to seek death. If they Hongchen Family are not careful, they will be in catastrophe.
He has not fallen to the point where he needs to betray the empire to protect his family.
Ji Lin didn't want to be too pretentious, but got straight to the point. "Hall Master Hongchen, do you think the one who unifies Douluo Continent must be Sun Moon Empire? Must it be Sun Moon Empire's current royal family? Does it have to be him Xu Tianran?"
"Boom——!"
As soon as Ji Lin said these words, there was an explosion in the minds of Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen, who were shocked by these words.
Jing Hongchen said in horror, "What do you mean?"
Ji Lin nodded and said with a smile, "I also have a small goal, which is to unify Douluo Continent and build an empire of my own."
Xiao Hongchen was stunned and said, "Aren't you the future prince of the Star Luo Imperial Family? Princess consort?"
Ji Lin chuckled and said, "This does not affect my unification of the Douluo Continent and the establishment of a new empire."
Jing Hongchen looked at Ji Lin with deep eyes and said in a deep voice, "Why do you think you can do it? Where does your confidence come from? With your talent?"
In the last sentence, there was doubt in Jing Hongchen's tone. Ji Lin's talent is indeed astonishing, but why does Ji Lin think he can defeat Sun Moon Empire and unify Douluo Continent? You must know that if he wants to unify Douluo Continent, his enemies are not just Sun Moon Empire.
Ji Lin smiled and said, "Hall Master Hongchen You know, Star Luo Empire The current royal family is not the original royal family."
Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "I know this, Star Luo Empire's original royal family is from the White Tiger Duke lineage."
Ji Lin nodded and said, "For the Star Luo Empire today's royal family, the throne is not the most important, the inheritance of the sect is the most important. If things cannot be done, Star Crown Sect can even take the initiative to hand over the throne and seal the mountain and hide in the world again, and I can be regarded as half a disciple of the Star Crown Sect. I can unify Douluo Continent and create a new empire, so why not."
Jing Hongchen questioned, "Even if this is the case, Star Crown Sect supports you, but Star Luo Empire will other noble forces agree? White Tiger Duke will agree? Will Heaven Dou Empire and Dou Ling Empire agree?"
Ji Lin smiled again and said, "So I need Sun Moon Empire to help me get rid of them."
Jing Hongchen I understand, Ji Lin wants to pick peaches! He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what your confidence is, otherwise I won't go crazy with you. For Meng's sake, I'll pretend I haven't seen you today."
Xiao Hongchen thinks Ji Lin is crazy. Why does he think he can pick peaches? He really thinks Sun Moon Empire is made of mud!
Meng Hongchen doesn't think so. She thinks that since Ji Lin dares to say it, he must be confident. She believes in Ji Lin.
Jing Hongchen is looking forward to it. If Ji Lin can really do it and unify Douluo Continent to establish a new empire, then Meng Hongchen will be the princess who will unify Douluo Continent's new empire in the future. They Hongchen Family will no longer have to worry about being suppressed and losing their current power, and maybe they can go further.
For a family like theirs, family inheritance always comes first, then the country, and finally loyalty to the royal family.
For the sake of the country, it doesn't matter if you change to another royal family. For the sake of the family, it doesn't matter if you change the country. As the saying goes, there are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year dynasties. This is an eternal truth.
If Ji Lin shows his strength, he doesn't mind taking a gamble. Of course, he won't blatantly betray Sun Moon Empire, but who wouldn't bet on both ends?
Eggs are not put in one basket. Doesn't he understand this? It's just that there wasn't another basket for him to put in before.
It just so happens that he has a grandson and a granddaughter. The grandson joins the Sun Moon Empire military and fights for the Sun Moon Empire, while the granddaughter can follow Ji Lin, which is what Meng Hongchen wants most.
Ji Lin knows that the key point is coming, it is his turn to show his strength, otherwise how to convince others, if you let others bet on you.
"Teacher Chi Yuan."
Ji Lin called softly.
Next, Chi Yuan's figure appeared quietly in the hall, standing next to Ji Lin.
"Huh!"
Jing Hongchen stood up suddenly, breathing rapidly and looking horrified. He didn't notice anything just now, and the detection Soul Tool and trigger Defensive Soul Tool arranged by the Mingde Hall didn't respond at all.
You know, since he first knew that Dragon God Douluo Mu En secretly visited Mingde Hall, he has upgraded Mingde Hall's defense and investigation system. But even so, he could not find out if Chi Yuan came in, which had to make him panic.
Chi Yuan stared at Jing Hongchen indifferently, and a pressure was released, like the sky falling. Jing Hongchen staggered and half-knelt on the ground. Sweat from his forehead poured down like a waterfall, soaking Mingde Hall's ground.
Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen did not feel any Soul Power fluctuations, nor were they affected by the momentum. This coercion was aimed only at Jing Hongchen. This kind of control was simply shocking.
