Le Zhengyue paused halfway through. He looked at his grandfather, but saw not a trace of doubt on his face.
Something that had once been absolutely impossible—becoming a god—was no longer impossible with the arrival of two other eras.
Le Zhengyue spoke with utmost seriousness and resolve.
After all, if he didn't say it now, when would he?
The only person he could trust was his grandfather.
As long as his grandfather accepted him, then with his Limit Douluo strength and status as legion commander, he could provide resources beyond what anyone else could imagine.
If he were the only one with a cheat, he'd be the most talented and capable person in the world.
Then he could completely rule this world.
He could adjust his own progress however he pleased, grow stronger by showing off and slapping faces, and enjoy everything the world had to offer.
But what was the problem now?
The problem was that the three protagonists were here.
Those three were even more annoying than cheaters, and now they had systems on top of that.
No one knew how quickly they could grow.
If he kept quiet, wasn't he just waiting to die?
As Le Zhengyue spoke, a glint flashed in Le Zhengen's eyes. He gave a slight nod.
He agreed with his grandson's reasoning.
The overwhelming pressure carried by that terrifying Martial Soul was enough to shock even him.
It was the first time he had ever encountered a Martial Soul with such oppressive force.
"Godhood Inheritance. It doesn't seem to be the Angel God's inheritance, but even so, it's more than enough."
"You're being so frank with Grandpa. You must have something you want to say, right?"
"Tell me what you have in mind."
Le Zhengen spoke softly, his gaze resting on his young grandson.
He wouldn't ignore his grandson's ideas the way an ordinary parent might.
After all, someone with such monstrous talent at this age was no ordinary person.
So he was more than willing to hear what his young grandson had to say.
Meeting his gaze, Le Zhengyue spoke plainly.
"I hope the family will direct all its resources toward me. Give me everything I can obtain—or, rather, everything I can use right now."
"Of course, once I've grown stronger, I'll repay the family."
Le Zhengyue paused, then looked his grandfather straight in the eye.
"I know you might have your doubts, Grandpa."
"But I'm a direct descendant of the Yue Family."
"Besides me and my older brother, there are only two heirs in our generation."
"In other words, the next family head will definitely be one of us."
"The stronger the family becomes, the more it'll help me in the future."
"So you've already decided that you'll be the family's future head?"
"Your older brother's talent is no slouch."
Le Zhengen gazed at his young grandson, curiosity in his eyes.
Meeting his gaze, Le Zhengyue wore an expression of complete confidence.
"My brother's talent is certainly good. He has a Holy Angel Martial Soul. But his Martial Soul can't compare to mine."
"And at my age, did he have the same mindset as me—or the same courage?"
As he spoke, Le Zhengyue took a step forward. His eyes held a calm, steady confidence.
Meeting his young grandson's gaze, Le Zhengen didn't feel offended. Instead, he gave a slight nod.
As a great family with a history spanning over a thousand years, the Yue Family had become the Southern Legion's ruling house and built this immense City of Angels through one principle: the law of the jungle.
The strong preyed on the weak. Nothing could be simpler.
If all you wanted was to be a wastrel, the family would naturally provide you with resources.
You could enjoy life, spend money like water, and live as carefree a life as you pleased.
But the moment you wanted to lead the family and claim its power, you'd have to put your life on the line.
Seeing his grandfather nod, Le Zhengyue let out a long breath.
It meant his grandfather had accepted him. The rest would be easier to discuss.
"Besides that, I hope the family can assign powerful people to follow me. They should be at least Titled Douluo level, or even Super Douluo level."
"They must obey me completely. Whatever I say, they do. I don't need to explain myself to them, and I don't want them asking me questions."
"And they should be ready to die for me."
Le Zhengyue looked at his grandfather nervously. This was the most important condition.
What he planned to do next could very well cost him his life. After all, he'd be fighting several protagonists for resources. With his multiple systems, he might survive.
But the family elders and experts who went with him could very well die.
He intended to seize resources, so the experts he brought had to be strong enough. Otherwise, they might not be able to protect him.
Meeting his young grandson's gaze, Le Zhengen fell silent for a second, then nodded.
"The family has two elders, both over a hundred years old. They're branch-family elders."
"They're at Level 97 and Level 98. They're the family's hidden trump cards."
"They'll follow you from now on. They won't interfere with what you do, and they're willing to die for you."
"But you still have to treat them with the respect due to your elders."
Le Zhengen looked at Le Zhengyue. Without hesitation, Le Zhengyue immediately nodded.
Seeing how decisively his grandson nodded, Le Zhengen fell silent for a moment.
"Is there anything else you need help with? Do you still need the family to help you obtain your Soul Rings?"
Le Zhengen looked at his grandson, but Le Zhengyue shook his head.
He currently had ten percent Dragon God Bloodline, along with a Dragon God Martial Soul. He was already strong enough.
And there was no need to mention his Martial Soul.
The Dragon God Martial Soul surely came with divine rings.
The Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King both came with Soul Rings of their own, so the Dragon God Martial Soul certainly would too.
Seeing his grandson shake his head, Le Zhengen said nothing more.
After giving Le Zhengyue a few brief instructions, Le Zhengen turned and left.
Le Zhengyue stood there alone, his eyes filled with an excitement beyond words.
After that intense rush of excitement came contemplation: he had to think about what to do next.
At this stage, everything seemed peaceful on the surface, but the problems ahead would be enormous.
He was growing, and so were the other protagonists.
Tang Wulin's system was especially troublesome. His Soul Power Level would always be one level higher than his own, and with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, his potential was no weaker than that of the other two cheaters.
Le Zhengyue had already figured out the general workings of Tang Wulin's system.
But he didn't fully understand the systems of the other two.
Their system names offered some clues. Tang San's system was probably connected to Xiao Wu.
Perhaps giving Xiao Wu resources would make him stronger.
As for Huo Yuhao's system, it gave him tenfold rewards.
That was how it worked on the surface, but there was no telling whether it had other abilities hidden beneath the surface.
Especially since all three had returned with their memories. They were truly old monsters.
To oppose old monsters like them, he'd have to take action on two fronts.
First, make sure they didn't notice him. Second, seize every resource they could get their hands on.
Especially with the Goddess Illustrated Handbook System at his disposal.
When facing the goddesses of the Douluo World, or its main female characters and supporting female characters, turning them into his women should give him some kind of boost.
As he thought it over, he came up with a plan to deal with both fronts at once.
The first target was Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's resources were the most predictable.
All he had to do was go to the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest at the right time, and he could claim the opportunity of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
He could even obtain Electrolux, a top-tier cheat.
