A certain location within the royal palace.
The Great Sage sat facing each other on the ground with a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties.
It was an Imperial Duke who possessed the cultivation level of Level Nine Martial Artist.
He should have gone to Torch City to defend against the Tide at this time.
However, he had no choice but to stay because he needed to guard the Great Sage.
As the sound of the explosion grew closer, the Great Sage slowly opened his eyes.
Time's up.
The Duke frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"As a Great Sage, you should consider the survival and development of the Blue Flame Race more."
"To make an enemy of us is certainly not a wise move."
The Great Sage's voice was slightly hoarse. "If you hadn't been so greedy, we wouldn't be at war now."
The Duke scoffed, "Ingratitude."
Disorganized footsteps sounded outside the door.
A moment later, several members of parliament, their foreheads covered in sweat, appeared at the door.
"Your Grace, those despicable foreign invaders have already broken in!"
"There's a traitor in the palace who opened the door for them."
"The eldest prince went to the forbidden area, and no matter how we tried to persuade him, it was no use."
"Your Grace, please go and persuade the Crown Prince!"
"..."
Upon hearing the councilors' words, the Duke's eyes widened suddenly.
"What?! The Highness went to the forbidden area?"
"What are you all good for?!"
"How can the seal of the forbidden area be broken so easily?"
The councilor gave a wry smile, "The eldest prince is adamant. He says if Emperor Shang could do it, then so can he."
The Duke stared intently at the Great Sage with a murderous gaze.
It's you!
The Great Sage said softly, "It's almost over."
The Duke gritted his teeth. "Speak! Who else? You couldn't have done this alone!"
The Great Sage smiled and said, "Whether it's the Council or the Royal Family, their defenses against us are like an iron barrel."
The Duke suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "The Fifth Prince!"
"That traitorous bastard!"
What good would it do him to do that?
The Great Sage shook his head. "Your reaction is too slow."
How do you know he is really the Fifth Prince?
The duke was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.
"You old scoundrel!"
"You actually colluded with the Ancient Race!"
The Great Sage sighed silently, "It's simply a matter of each taking what they need."
boom--
The Duke unleashed the aura of Level Nine Martial Artist.
Several councilors standing at the entrance were all thrown out.
"Tell His Highness to leave the forbidden area; that power is beyond his ability to withstand. At the same time, contact Torch City and have them quickly dispatch a group of Advanced Martial Artist."
Upon hearing this, the councilors scrambled out of the building.
The Great Sage raised his right hand and gently pushed.
Suddenly, blue flames several meters high surged from the ground in the courtyard, engulfing the councilors in the blink of an eye.
The Duke gritted his teeth. "You old scoundrel! You're asking for it!"
He raised his right hand and slammed it hard on the Great Sage's head.
The Great Sage unleashed a surge of blue flames, which struck the opponent's palm.
boom--
In an instant, an incredibly violent force swept in all directions.
The exquisite and elegant courtyard was reduced to dust in an instant.
Only the Great Sage and the duke remained.
In the distance, the Thousand Faces, now a guard, watched with trepidation.
"Luckily, I ran away beforehand."
"I never imagined that the Great Sage, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have an ambiguous relationship with the Fifth Prince."
" The Maka Race is going to send this batch."
Qin Ze learned about what happened on the Great Sage's side through the perspective of the Thousand Faces.
Is this the ultimate purpose of the shadow?
This cornered the eldest prince Xuan Ling, with no way out.
Let him awaken the World Overlord himself.
No wonder the Blue Flame People army and Torch City's Tide are coordinated so well.
The Great Sage had already spoken with the Fifth Prince.
They are waiting for the Tide to come in.
Tide has drawn upon the Empire's top combat power.
The Blue Flame People were pressing in relentlessly, coupled with the sudden rise of foreign tribes.
Long influenced by the Fifth Prince's "mindset," and driven to extremes by his desire to prove himself, the First Prince Xuan Ling went astray.
The plan is ingenious, with each step linked to the next.
However, there was one thing Qin Ze still didn't understand.
The Shadow's goal is to hunt down the Dominator.
The power of Dominator is integrated with the world.
We are intertwined, each other in the other.
With the demise of the Dominator, the world will most likely collapse, and the World Will will cease to exist.
How then did the Great Sage seize the will of the Maka Race's world?
Their ultimate goals were mutually exclusive, and Qin Ze couldn't understand why they would join forces.
Or is it that the Great Sage's mind was controlled?
If even Level Nine Martial Artist can be affected, then the Fifth Prince's abilities are simply too terrifying.
On second thought, Qin Ze realized it was unrealistic.
If he could truly "hard-control" Level Nine Martial Artist, the Fifth Prince wouldn't have needed to spend so long developing his power in the Maka Race's world.
The Fifth Prince glanced at Zhan Li had suddenly arrived.
"You're lucky to be alive."
Zhan Li roared, "You dog!"
"I won't kill you today, I'll risk my life for you!"
The Fifth Prince chuckled and said, "Oh? So you also want to share the name Zhan Li with me?"
These words are tantamount to pouring hot oil on a raging fire.
Zhan Li rose up in a rage, his body enveloped in light blue flames, streaking across the sky like a high-speed train.
Qin Ze immediately retreated more than ten meters away using the Vermilion Bird Step.
The Fifth Prince continued to drink his tea quietly, showing no concern for the approaching Zhan Li.
Buzz--
Just then, Gong Shangyu suddenly started playing the violin.
The music created a visible Sound Wave that struck Zhan Li's stomach at supersonic speed, sending a blue streak of light flying backward.
The other alien races who came to the garden with him were not so lucky; they were all cut in half at the waist.
Qin Ze was slightly surprised to see Gong Shangyu emanating the aura of Advanced Martial Artist.
He had previously thought this girl was at most a level five or six, considering she looked to be only in her early twenties.
A twenty-year-old Advanced Martial Artist, did you grow up eating Qi-Gathering Pill?
Qin Ze remained silent.
Who is the main character anyway?!
The ground suddenly began to tremble violently.
At the same time, Qin Ze heard that familiar, chaotic whisper, as if from a demon, once again.
It's still very weak.
Furthermore, having experienced two " Dominator Crises," Qin Ze's mental threshold has increased considerably.
At present, it has no impact on him.
Gong Shangyu and the Fifth Prince remained as steady as Mount Tai.
In comparison, Zhan Li wasn't much better off.
He lay on the ground, curled up like a shrimp.
His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.
In an attempt to "fit in," Qin Ze began to have seizures and foam at the mouth.
The Fifth Prince took off the green bracelet from his wrist and threw it at Zhan Li.
"You have good potential; with proper polishing, you could be a diamond in the rough. I'm actually reluctant to kill you."
"Once this matter is over, I will properly refine you."
The bracelet emitted a green light that shone on Zhan Li, Zhan Li then disappeared.
Then, the Fifth Prince looked at Qin Ze: "And you too."
"I'll spare your life for now, since you still have some use."
The bracelet sucked Qin Ze in again, then flew back into the Fifth Prince's hand.
The Fifth Prince put on the bracelet, feeling quite pleased.
This world is about to end.
"After that, we can go and have a good look at the famous Human Race world."
