Chapter 193
Chen Li wore the crown that matched the Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit at this moment to create the illusion that the crown was the real thing.
The results now appear to be outstanding.
"No, I feel you still don't believe me. Look, this is General Jing Yuan's good friend, Baiheng. I pulled him out from underground to reunite with Jing Yuan. You know the Cloudy Five, right? You know Baiheng, right? You've met Dragon Girl Bailu of the Dragon race, haven't you? Bailu is actually Baiheng transformed, which is why they look so alike. I've already told you one of the biggest secrets of the Xianzhou."
"I believe you!" Tingyun emphasized.
Tingyun had indeed heard similar rumors.
Moreover, Tingyun has always admired skilled pilots who can fly freely in the sky since she was a child, among whom Baiheng is a legendary pilot!
"No, I feel you still don't believe me. Look at this photo of me and Jing Yuan in his 'Moe Ying Body' state. You don't know what 'Moe Ying Body' is, do you? It's Miraculous Item I created for the Xianzhou. It can suppress the Mara-Struck of the Xianzhou natives and the Moon Rage of the Foxians, but the price is turning into a whiny monster. This is currently the biggest secret of the Xianzhou Alliance, bar none." Chen Li continued. "This humble woman truly believes you! Please don't say any more." Looking at the photo Chen Li showed her, Tingyun's composure crumbled slightly.
Stop talking, please stop talking!
If you say another word, I'm afraid I'll be silenced once I return to the Xianzhou!
"I think you... okay, I think you really believe it, then we can continue." When Chen Li saw the somewhat uneasy expression on Tingyun's face, he knew that Chen Li Tingyun really believed it.
However, Chen Li also felt that Tingyun didn't need to be so afraid, because soon Tingyun would become one of the biggest secrets of the Luofu Xianzhou.
Everyone's keeping it a secret, so there's no need to worry about it being leaked.
"I am all ears." Tingyun a sigh of relief after hearing that Chen Li had finally stopped worrying about whether she believed him or not.
"Here's what happened: through some secret channels, I deduced that the Great Extinguisher Phantylia, intends to use the Stellaron to revive the Ambrosial Arbor and wreak havoc on the Xianzhou. You are the identity Phantylia chose to infiltrate the Xianzhou. Therefore, when your merchant guild returns to the Xianzhou, you will be attacked by the Great Extinguisher Phantylia. She will take your place and enter the Xianzhou, causing chaos throughout the entire Xianzhou!"
"???" Hearing Chen Li reveal such a big secret in one breath, Ting's head was spinning.
You mean to say that the Emanator of Destruction, the Great Extinguisher Phantylia, has set his sights on me, a weak, pitiful, and helpless ordinary Foxians?
Tingyun suddenly felt that he might not need to worry about being silenced after returning to the Xianzhou, because he would be silenced before that.
"Oh, judging from your expression, you obviously don't believe my secret channels, right? Well then, I'm about to tell you one of the greatest secrets of the universe! Listen carefully..."
"Stop, esteemed Mister Miraculous Forger, I don't want to know any secrets. I just want to know if there's any hope for me." Tingyun looked pitiful and helpless as she gazed at Chen Li.
Tingyun wasn't afraid because of the Great Extinguisher Phantylia, because Tingyun had never faced the pressure of Destruction. Tingyun was afraid because of Chen Li, because any one of the secrets Chen Li mentioned could put poor little Tingyun under strict surveillance by the Xianzhou for decades.
In that case, Tingyun's business, Tingyun's money, Tingyun's treasures... everything will be gone!
"Of course there is hope. I have a Miraculous Item here called the Revival Match. You can watch the Revival Match ads through the link I send you..." Chen Li briefly explained the effects of the Miraculous Item Revival Match to Tingyun.
"You mean I'm doomed? But I still have a few days to watch the Revival Matches, collect the Resurrection Cards, and prepare for my next resurrection?" Tingyun was amazed by the magical effects of this Miraculous Item.
So, is the Miraculous Forger really a master of "Miraculous Items "?
Instead of just stealing accounts from Genius Society member and using meme-level contagion to play pranks, as some online rumors suggest?
As expected, you can't believe everything you read online.
And no wonder the other party could become a member of the Genius Society.
What If this Miraculous Item's effects are real, I'd believe you if you said you were Aeon!
Therefore, Tingyun guessed that this Miraculous Item must have some kind of restriction!
For example, it can only revive itself, a noob.
"That's not the case. If Miss Tingyun is unwilling to cooperate, we have other methods..."
In fact, Chen Li had already sent out this Friends Circle Terminal a long time ago, but to ensure security, the delivery was slow and it has only now reached Tingyun's hands.
The best original plan was indeed to use Tingyun to lure Great Extinguisher Phantylia, but now Chen Li has another method.
It can only be said that the difficulty of the levels has not kept up with the speed at which players have become stronger.
"However, before that, I think that since Miss Tingyun, you are perhaps one of the biggest victims in the Phantylia incident, you are entitled to know the whole truth. So please watch this video before deciding how you want to resolve this matter. The way this video is presented is a bit special, but you don't need to worry about it." Chen Li said as Tingyun sent him a video.
Or rather, the plot.
Chen Li remained indifferent to this, because if Miraculous Item capable of reviving a dead Aeon had already appeared, would it seem strange to have Miraculous Item for viewing the future? Of course not.
At least Chen Li believed that the Aeon of Intellect had always been fully aware of the plot's progress, and that everything might not have deviated from the Aeon of Intellect's calculations.
However, the Aeon of Intellect clearly cannot resurrect other Aeon.
Chen Li has been keeping the Herta Space Station storyline out of the Great Herta because he's afraid the Great Herta will add something "to the Stellaron".
The process may not be important, the result may not be important, but the starting point is definitely important!
Without the Trailblazer, the universe would be a quarter less fun!
Therefore, Chen Li always felt that the most suitable Path for Trailblazer should be one of Elation.
After an unknown amount of time, having patiently finished reading the story on her Friends Circle Terminal, Tingyun slowly raised her head, looking at Chen Li with a complicated expression.
"You mean that Phantylia will not only attack the 'Minghuo' merchant ship that I will be on my return journey after this trade trip, but will also take my identity, emotions, and experience, claim everything as his own, disguise himself as me, infiltrate the Xianzhou, Destruction half of Xianzhou Luofu?"
"Um."
"And all of this is simply because of my rich emotions and experience, and because Phantylia needs an identity to board the Xianzhou?"
"Um."
"If nothing unexpected happens, she will use my identity to revive the Ambrosial Arbor, use my identity to Destruction half of the Xianzhou, use my identity to displace countless people, and use my identity to Destruction those I know and those who know me?"
"Um."
Chen Li nodded three times.
Phantylia's style is to incite religious conflict within a planet, undermine its spiritual pillars, drive the collapse of trust within civilization, and ultimately lead people to utter despair. She enjoys plunging people into chaos and suspicion, driving them to self- Destruction and completely ensnaring them in her wicked schemes.
Therefore, an identity that would allow her to thrive within the Xianzhou is of paramount importance.
The reason for choosing Tingyun may also be related to her identity as Sui-Yang.
The Sui-Yang Clan enjoys parasitizing and manipulating flesh and blood bodies, sensing the many changes in the nervous system that arise with emotions.
Attacking Tingyun will allow her to obtain Tingyun's body, which is rich in emotions and experience, and will also allow her to board the Xianzhou and use the Power of Abundance of Ambrosial Arbor to create an indelible body!
That's why it's said that Phantylia in Xianzhou is a case of mixing personal matters into official business.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for Destruction to target the Xianzhou Alliance, this "honey badger," at this stage.
"So you have your own plans?" Chen Li asked.
"What did the generals say?" Tingyun asked in return.
"Jing Yuan doesn't know yet. So it's all up to you. The Xianzhou doesn't need your sacrifice, and neither do I. Everything is up to your own preference," Chen Li said.
Regardless of Tingyun's decision, Chen Li expressed his respect and approval.
"I've heard that in that ancient civilization before the Xianzhou set sail across the starry sea, there was a profession called envoy. Their job was to be sent as envoys to neighboring small countries, to provoke the kings through various means, and to die in the enemy's country, so that their own lives could secure a just cause for their nation to conquer the small country. The ancient saying that 'enemies are not killed in war' comes from this." Tingyun murmured softly.
"There's no need to worry about that. The Great Extinguisher Phantylia, has been plotting against the Xianzhou for some time now. Phantylia made contact with the Medicine Master's Legacy on the Luofu Xianzhou a long time ago. So it won't be difficult to find a reason to attack the Great Extinguisher," Chen Li said.
Once a legitimate cause is established, launching a campaign against the Great Extinguisher or waging war against the Anti-Matter Legion can convince the Cloud Knight Army of the Xianzhou Alliance to fight with all their might.
Even if no evidence is found, no one would comment on the fact that the Xianzhou Alliance launched the attack on the Emanator of Destruction first.
The statement that the Uchiha brat was born evil is indeed biased.
No one would argue that the Anti-Matter Legion is inherently evil.
The conflicts between different Aeon factions can all be described as a matter of positions, except for the two Aeon factions.
One is Destruction.
Second, Propagation.
Both of these Aeon factions are utterly despicable.
"I see. How did you know about this?"
"Because I am the Divine Emissary of Abundance, I don't know who else knows this. This matter was told to me personally by the leader of the Medicine Master's Legacy."
"???" Tingyun tilted her head.
"Your general knows about this. Also, don't tilt your head; it's bad for your cervical spine," Chen Li quickly reminded him.
"You mean... like this?" Tingyun instantly recalled the classic scene she had witnessed, and then tilted her head at an exaggerated angle.
"!!!"
"Ouch... it hurts." Seeing Chen Li's pupils dilate, Tingyun covered her neck and smiled slightly.
"You're not Tingyun! Tell me, are you that damned Masked Fool in disguise?!"
"You flatter me, my benefactor. I just thought the atmosphere was a bit serious, so I wanted to lighten it up a bit," Tingyun said politely with a smile.
"..."
"Oh dear, it seems my benefactor likes it when he calls me that," Tingyun said again, keenly noticing the change in Chen Li's expression.
"You don't need to call me that. I'm just giving you a choice, I can't call you a benefactor."
"Just for this one Resurrection Card link, my benefactor deserves this title, so there's no need to be modest. It's just that I'm a little confused." Tingyun gently stroked her chin.
What's puzzling you?
"Since I cannot retaliate against Phantylia with a just cause, and you have given me the freedom to choose without any coercion, what reason can I give to explain my desire to teach Phantylia a lesson?" Tingyun sighed.
"... I think you're just very vengeful," Chen Li retorted.
Of course, Chen Li felt that anyone would feel vengeful in this situation.
You killed my men, and then used my identity to Destruction my family and friends?
Who can accept this?
What? That's something that's going to happen in the future? It hasn't happened yet?
Does it matter?
That's not important!
You can't even dream about it! Let alone actually do it in the future!
The inherently evil Great Extinguisher!
"My benefactor, you can't say that. Being vengeful is not a good reputation when you're a merchant." Tingyun shook his head.
"So... you want me to give you a reason?"
"I didn't say that. I just hope that the geniuses in the great Genius Society can help me see the light at the end of the tunnel. I thank you in advance." Tingyun bowed to Chen Li.
"Even a clay figure has some temper. Consider it for the sake of your friends and Bonds, how about it?" Chen Li thought for a moment and asked.
"It's acceptable. In that case, I hope the Mister Miraculous Forger give me some pointers. Just tell me your plans, and I will certainly live up to your expectations and teach that high and mighty Great Extinguisher a little lesson." Tingyun narrowed her eyes.
Even a clay figure has a bit of fire in it.
The inherently evil Great Extinguisher!
Your Aunt Tingyun is here!
Tingyun has a fan called the Six-Bone Folding Fan, which is a cleverly crafted item from the Gong Zao Division.
To protect themselves from dangers during their travels, celestial merchants often carry weapons for self-defense. And this is the fan that Tingyun chose!
In her own words, it was like this. "Business people value harmony above all else. Carrying weapons can damage relationships and hinder business. This fan of mine is different. I use it to cool myself down. If I encounter someone difficult to talk to, I can fan them to calm them down. If we can sit down and talk, that's great; if not..."
"—Slap him harder, let him go somewhere cool and stay there!"
Born on Xianzhou brimming with martial virtue, Tingyun, despite her naturally gentle nature, possesses an inherent tenacity akin to that of a "The Hunt."
"Well said! We Xianzhou natives say that if we kill someone's whole family, then we will kill their whole family!" Baiheng had been watching from the sidelines for a while, nodded in satisfaction.
In the Xianzhou, which advocates that even a hundred generations of hatred can be avenged, what kind of Xianzhou natives are you if you don't have a strong desire for revenge?
The Path of the Hunt is embodied in ruthlessness, decisiveness, and revenge!
Using the arrows of today to kill future enemies is the basic operation of the Hunt Force.
What's wrong with using our present strength to avenge future grievances?
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Baiheng. However, I still advocate for harmony."
"Good! A smile hiding a dagger is not bad either." Baiheng nodded again.
"I am not a woman who hides a knife behind a smile..." Tingyun tried to explain.
"Uh-huh."
"..." Tingyun felt that she couldn't explain herself clearly.
Similar to the rumors, this famous Foxians -Foxians pilot in history did indeed act unpredictably and never listened to anyone.
