Zhang Guangmu relied on his tall figure that was comparable to Confucius, grabbed Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu's necks with both hands, and jokingly gave a goal. "I want to unify the underworld and become King of the Underworld!"

"In today's world, ancestral spirits are the primary productive force!"

"I hope you two can help me!"

If you think about it carefully, it was only after breakthroughs and innovations in the ancestral spirit ritual that Zhang Guangmu was able to transcend the inherent limitations of bloodline and successfully summon Zhou Yu, with almost no setbacks in the process.

This is completely different from the situation when Zhang Jiao was summoned.

Comparing the process of the two summons, Zhang Guangmu can roughly guess that [Xuanxian Group led by Zhang Guangmu will develop Ancestor Spirit technology/Nether Energy technology] This factor has probably been taken into account by Production Team.

As [Heavenly Dao Averse], I have probably been preset with two alternative paths.

Either as a researcher, make innovations, break through the limitations of the summoning ritual, and summon the ancestral spirit [Zhou Yu]; or wait until it is crushed by Chonghuang Allied Forces, escape as a fighter, and then go through all kinds of hardships, with the blessing of precious props, surpass the extremely high failure rate, and summon the ancestral spirit [Zhang Jiao].

This is the difficulty and challenge that is hidden.

The current situation is...

Zhang Guangmu surpassed the restrictions of Production Team, shattered the restrictions set by Boss Cao and Director Takada Mokasai, and found the third way!

Today, in Xuanxian Group, there are brave and powerful fighters and talented scientific researchers, and Zhang Guangmu himself has also created secret techniques such as "Xuanxian Secret Record" and is quietly improving it.

He was a familiar person, and he walked shoulder to shoulder with his two ancestors, not showing any signs of alienation.

The ancestral spirit Zhou Yu did not struggle, and immediately responded, "My lord has an order, Gongjin should obey it."

After hearing Zhang Guangmu's speech, Ancestor Spirit Zhang Jiao also nodded in agreement - technically speaking, he had known his summoner for less than a month, but he did not dislike Zhang Guangmu's approachable manner at all, and instead felt very comfortable.

As for Zhang Guangmu's goal of unifying the underworld...

To be honest, neither Zhang Jiao nor Zhou Yu think this can be called "ambition".

They even feel that even if one day Zhang Guangmu says that he wants to unify the world and become Earth Planet Lord, it is reasonable and reasonable. It is not a fantasy, but something that is possible.

After receiving the responses from the two ancestral spirits, Zhang Guangmu let go of his hands, made no secret of his intentions, and spoke openly and murderously, "In order to unify the underworld, the first step is to annihilate Dongye District's strong competitors!"

"Then next, all the focus of Xuanxian Group's work will be transferred to [Lion King Hunt Plan]!"

"I want to hear the news of Long Xiaofan's death in the shortest possible time!"

Originally, as a villain, if Zhang Guangmu wanted to kill Plot Protagonist Long Xiaofan, he actually didn't need a reason at all, just "seeing him unhappy" was enough.

In order to take care of the mood and acceptance of Little White Balls, Zhang Guangmu set out the strategic goal of "unifying the underworld and becoming King of the Underworld".

It obviously makes sense for a man to fight to ascend to the throne, to take the initiative and clear the obstacles in his way.

Such loud conspiracy naturally fell into the ears of Little White Balls people.

"Kuoyi! Finally I see a villain with brains!"

"A really bad guy should fuck the protagonist head-on!"

"Well done! The same is [Bright Moon], Long Xiaofan is obviously not as good as Brother Mu Zi! During this time, Long Xiaofan has been hiding and has no sense of existence at all!"

"Indeed, a protagonist who doesn't cause trouble is not a good protagonist!"

"It is recommended that Cold Light Human King directly transform and develop towards the [Demon King] sequence! This feels really exciting!"

"Huh? [Cold Light Human King], I rarely hear people call Zhang Guangmu that way... There are actually armor enthusiasts like me... But to be honest, Zhang Guangmu's performance after receiving the villain role was even more awesome than when he was promoted to Ultimate Armored Master and killed the Blazing Bone Beast! What a yuppie!"

"He should take on this kind of Big Villain role! The main thing is to be able to stand up, you know! The protagonist can be stupid or brainless, but the villain must be strong to be interesting!"

"Big Villain has the style and spirit that he should have..."

"Next, the pressure will come to Long Xiaofan! I hope he can be more forceful and let Brother Mu Zi use more of his real skills!"

With the cooperation of various departments, the construction of [Xuanxian Space Network] led by Zuling Zhou Yu was very smooth.

On this day, while Zhang Guangmu was flipping through the book, he was distractedly listening to the daily complaints of Little White Ballss and collecting personal information about Plot Protagonist Long Xiaofan.

Suddenly, a blazing red light wrapped around the little finger of his left hand lit up. Zhang Guangmu raised his eyebrows, put down the book in his hand, stopped moving, and remained relatively quiet.

Three seconds later, Luo Zhuan and Shaliya arrived hand in hand.

After the two people teleported to Zhang Guangmu, they went straight to the topic without saying any nonsense, bringing good news and bad news to Zhang Guangmu.

The good news is: more than half a month has passed, Chonghuang District's resources and population have been fully digested, and Xuanxian Group's overall strength has taken a step forward and reached a new level.

Not only has the inventory of Ming Qi doubled, but also because of the emphasis on publicity and guidance, plus the generous benefits of Xuanxian Group, many talents have been attracted to invest.

Now Zhang Guangmu occupies both the God's Throne and Chonghuang areas, and sits on two-thirds of the underworld. It looks like it is sweeping the World.

Because of this, Xuanxian Group recruited many wild summoners in a very short period of time, and its overall strength expanded to more than twice its previous level.

"Those summoners who avoid the flames of war can hide for a while, but not for a lifetime."

Luo Zhuan was very attentive to Xuanxian Group's talent recruitment work. After reporting on the work, he also explained his thoughts and feelings, "Before, the world was undecided and the three pillars were standing on the underworld. Many summoners felt that their strength was insufficient and were unwilling to get involved in the war. They hid themselves and concentrated on development."

"But it would be foolish to keep hiding."

Luo Zhuan said seriously, "This has nothing to do with ambition, nor does it have anything to do with the summoner's material desires."

"In the final analysis, [ancestral spirits] are existences that need reputation to continue to grow stronger."

"Weak people cannot control their own destiny!"

Zhang Guangmu thinks what he said is very good and there is nothing to add. He just applauds to show his approval.

After the good news, comes the bad news.

This part comes from Plot Protagonist Long Xiaofan.

The title he strives for in this world is [Sleeping Lion King], not [Sleeping Lion King].

Now that Netherworld Yingzhou is completely isolated from other countries on the earth, the situation is clear. Yagyu Yuzo, Sanada Shirou, and Takeda Sasuke who were originally qualified to separate one side have died in the battle. Yang Chi has also become a bereaved dog. It has lost its basic base and has become a lone family. The probability of a comeback is probably less than one percent.

Faced with Chonghuang District who was wide open and lacked enough combat power to defend him, Long Xiaofan, the Mastermind who single-handedly created [Nether Energy Resurgence], finally broke away from the pretense of pretending to be asleep and planned to get a share of the pie.

This is not because he suddenly became too restless, but because he had no choice but to do so.

Under the instruction of Zhang Guangmu, Xuanxian Group attaches great importance to public opinion and propaganda work.

The staff in charge of the publicity mouth racked their brains and made up stories and allusions one after another, half of which were used to make Zhang Jiao, Zhou Yu and other ancestors famous, and the other half were used to embarrass Dongye District who ruled Long Xiaofan.

In fact, compared with short stories and allusions, Xuanxian Group propaganda workers adapted measures to local conditions, and some "Netherworld joke" adapted from Soviet jokes were more effective.

For example: Xuanxian Group Before conquering Chonghuang, there was a painting depicting Adam and Eve in the art gallery. People from God Seat District saw it and said they must be God Seat District, because men will share delicious food with women; people from Chonghuang District saw it and said they must be Chonghuang District People of Dongye District, because couples dared to go out for a walk shamelessly without clothes; people of Dongye District looked at it and said they must be people of Dongye District, because they had no clothes to wear, little food to eat, were hungry and cold, and thought they were in heaven.

A joke, while praising Zhang Guangmu, it also secretly belittled the talents of Yang Chi and Long Xiaofan as leaders.

Yang Chi, who lost his territory, was just an unlucky guy who was picked up by others.

Long Xiaofan is the one who was really hacked.

"Netherworld joke" like this not only reduces publicity costs, but also ensures a high conversion rate and popularity.

Long Xiaofan knows very well that a story about Zheng man buying shoes has confounded the people of Zheng for thousands of years.

When future generations mention Zheng Guo, the inherent impression of Zheng Guo people will appear in their minds - stereotyped, stupid, pedantic, and unreliable.

Facing the pressure of Zhang Guangmu's public opinion, if he continues to ignore it, the only thing waiting for Long Xiaofan is natural death.

So he responded immediately.
