The Omniscient Meng Qing!
One thing is certain: the coming era will be an era led by magic.
During this period, Meng Qing visited the Dragon Empire. He first met Ye Long and then went to the ruins of the Shattered Empire.
The Lord of the Morning Star survived, right under Ye Long's nose.
The two arrived at the ruins together, but there was no one there. Ye Long ordered the place to be demolished and the Starry Sky Principal, also known as the Lord of the Morning Star, to be dug out.
They packed up everything here and took it all, not even leaving behind a single piece of armor.
But the Lord of the Morning Star of the Lord of the Morning Star is nowhere to be found; they dug up the whole area but still couldn't find him.
This made Ye Long suspicious. "Are you really sure he's still alive?"
Meng Qing pondered for a long time before speaking, "If you come out now, perhaps we can still have room for discussion."
"But if you intend to hide like this forever, then I think it's hard to say whether Lin Feng or Gawain are alive or dead."
"If you knew my abilities, you would understand that I could kill those two without using my full strength; I only needed to make a slight move."
Moments later, blue energy surged from the hollowed-out ruins, and a crystal core materialized into a humanoid form.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Meng Qing's lips beneath his mask.
"I remember this shouldn't be the first time we've met."
The Lord of the Morning Star frowned. He couldn't recall where he had seen this masked person before; he had no recollection of it.
But Meng Qing remembered that it was during the war in another world.
The Lord of the Morning Star, at the fourth rank, was banished to the Inner World, while Meng Qing was still at the third rank, but his Mental Power had already reached the fourth rank.
By chance, the two met.
However, the Lord of the Morning Star was being brutally beaten, and Meng Qing was too weak to do anything but pretend he didn't see it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. You're already out of the game anyway. Killing you won't do us much good or much harm."
"But if I don't kill you, you might stab me in the back one day at a crucial moment."
"But it would be a bit of a waste to just kill you like this."
"I had a theory about this game."
"If an ordinary person becomes part of the sequence in this game, but he is not actually a participant, yet we form an alliance with him using the crown, what do you think the outcome would be?"
The Lord of the Morning Star probably understood what Meng Qing meant.
Meng Qing meant that if the Lord of the Morning Star could assist them, they would not recommend offering him a crown to form an alliance.
If Meng Qing's theory comes true, and they ultimately win the battle, then the Lord of the Morning Star may regain the power of the sequence, and possibly reach the sixth rank immediately.
This deal is good, but there's one problem: he can't trust Meng Qing.
He couldn't guarantee that Meng Qing and his group wouldn't discard them after they'd served their purpose.
But given the current situation, he has no choice but to go with the flow.
Are you telling the truth?
Meng Qing: "I can't be sure, but it's always worth trying, isn't it?"
"I doubt you'd willingly be eliminated, would you?"
The Lord of the Morning Star smiled helplessly, "What else could I possibly be unwilling to accept? I have nothing left but this consciousness clinging to life until now. In other words, what else could I possibly lose?"
"Even the smallest hope is a rare opportunity for me."
The deal was struck, but a strange smile crept across Meng Qing's lips beneath his mask. "Since you've agreed, shouldn't you cut off your own escape route to show your sincerity?"
"Now that we have reached a cooperation agreement, we should trust each other."
"But you've left us with a bunch of backup plans. Where are you going to put us?"
The Lord of the Morning Star frowned. "I don't know..."
"Playing dumb is not a wise choice," Meng Qing said.
"If you are wary of us, or even prepared to betray us at any time, then it's hard to say whether our previous agreement still stands."
This guy...
The Lord of the Morning Star felt a sense of fear. What was the origin of this masked person? How could he seem to know everything?
No, even if he has a lot of information, he can't possibly be omniscient.
So, to what extent did he obtain the intelligence?
The Lord of the Morning Star said, "I did prepare a backup plan. I had my only fourth-tier subordinate by my side, Lin Feng, with the intention of having him help me obtain a crown."
"More than."
A flicker of emotion flashed in Meng Qing's eyes beneath his mask. "Aren't you going to discuss the matter of the demon and the Nine-Tailed Fox?"
Ye Long remained silent and listened quietly.
Lord of the Morning Star took a deep breath. Now that he had come to this conclusion, then... he could only apologize.
"That's right, I've already met with the demon, and we've reached an agreement."
Meng Qing: "Where is Isis?"
The Lord of the Morning Star shook his head. "I don't know. Is she one of the demons?"
"I always thought she was in the same boat as you."
Oh...
That's interesting.
The Lord of the Morning Star didn't even know that Isis was Qin Leng's person. He really wasn't lying, Meng Qing could tell.
But Ye Long spoke up, "You just mentioned Isis?"
Meng Qing turned his head and said, "Don't worry about it. I was just curious whether Isis was also connected to demons. It seems I was overthinking it."
Yeah, right.
Meng Qing knew that Isis was one of the devil's people, but he didn't point it out.
The Lord of the Morning Star looked at Meng Qing, "So you wanted to get these things out of me?"
Meng Qing: "Of course not. If we're talking about magical prowess, you should be in the top three in this world."
Although Mystra is the Goddess of Magic, her knowledge of magic is pitifully little, even less than that of Meng Qing.
Meng Qing was previously a member of the Right Hand Unit and received magic training during Qin Leng's time.
But the level is too low. That level of magic might be okay on Earth, but it's not enough here.
Meng Qing had previously deduced fourth-order magic himself, but he knew how difficult the process was. So why not just pick up a ready-made one instead of the other laborious deductions?
The Lord of the Morning Star is the master of the Black Tower in another world and a top-tier magician.
His knowledge is an invaluable treasure; with his assistance, magic will soon be elevated to a new level.
For example, having your subordinates cast fifth-tier magic.
Meng Qing had passed on all the magical knowledge to people, but he himself only developed it to the fourth level. It took him several hundred years to reach the peak of the fourth level.
Because there were no reference points, he could only try things randomly on his own, and nothing could be more difficult than that.
However, Meng Qing was unable to overcome the qualitative change from the fourth to the fifth order.
Therefore, he could only teach those people fourth-tier magic.
However, if Meng Qing's followers obtain the fifth-tier magical knowledge of the Lord of the Morning Star, then they will undergo a qualitative change.
That's a qualitative leap from fourth-tier magic to fifth-tier magic!
Meanwhile, Lin Feng on the Outer Sea Continent also presented the magic book in his hand to 009.
All he asked for was one thing: to give the Chaos Holy Armor to someone else, as he stated frankly that he had no need for such a good thing.
009 smiled faintly, granted his request, and removed the holy armor from his body.
"Relax, you're one of the Chaos Splitter too. I consider you family, so there's no need to be so cautious."
"Try to learn from Nairasojin and the others, be more casual, it's okay, we don't have that many rules here."
"But there is one thing I absolutely cannot tolerate."
"I hate betrayal."
"That feeling was like rubbing salt into my wounds, it made me hate it to the core, and kept me up all night, so... you won't betray the Chaos Splitter, right?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, "I... will never betray the Chaos Splitter."
009 patted him on the shoulder, "Good, you have a bright future, I believe in you."
