A Pawn on the Board
Li Wensong was utterly shocked; his heart pounded wildly, as if a small motor had been added to it, relentlessly.
He had heard from that Eternal Realm expert that the two Peak Eternal Realm experts, who could freely utilize the Rule of Cause and Effect, had the strongest method of using the Rule of Cause and Effect to deduce all things!
That's right! It's about deducing everything!
You can deduce the whole story from just one thing!
For example, by taking the Rule of Cause and Effect to its extreme through a single continent, one can deduce the origins of this continent and its connections with other continents, as well as its past and future!
This method allows for a strategic plan spanning hundreds of billions of years!
Thus, they could kill someone trillions of years ago!!!
This is the power of the Rule of Cause and Effect when it is applied to its fullest extent!
Considering the shared origins of the Eternal Night Continent, and what Lu Qing'an had just said, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guesses were about 70-80% correct!
If that were the case, he even suspected that his presence here might be part of Lu Qing'an's scheme!
"Good heavens! This is absolutely terrifying when you think about it!!! Could it be that I was just a pawn from the very beginning?! From meeting Dan Yun, then being helped to break through my cultivation level by that Eternal Realm, only to fail, and then coming here and meeting him again, with him saying he'd help me break through to the Eternal Realm —it was all a series of invisible arrangements?!"
Thinking of this, Li Wensong broke out in a cold sweat.
He truly felt an invisible hand completely enveloping him!
Unable to break free!!!
Of course, all of this could be just his imagination, but what if his imagination is true?
He swallowed hard, trying to stop himself from thinking about it.
However, it had no effect whatsoever.
"So be it! A pawn it is! If this person is truly one of the two Peak Eternal Realm experts who have derived the Rule of Cause and Effect, then becoming his pawn is the highest honor! Moreover, I can also become Eternal Realm expert. Why not?!"
Li Wensong instantly found a way to comfort himself, and the more he thought about it, the more relieved he felt.
Compared to Li Wensong's expectations, the others were more puzzled by what Lu Qing'an was doing at this moment.
Let's calculate???
What's going on?!
Lu Qing'an simply wanted to find a reason that was more in line with the reason why Eternal Realm expert would make a contract with these Heavenly Dao. If he knew what Li Wensong was thinking at this moment, he would definitely not be able to help but laugh, the kind of laugh that even a professional couldn't suppress.
He twitched his fingers, pretending to do some calculations, before opening his eyes and stopping what he was doing.
"Alright, I can form a contract with you, but you must understand that you will have to pay a price to get the results you want." Lu Qing'an was naturally well aware of the Heavenly Dao Dao's thoughts. They were simply thinking that once the Eternal Night Continent became the Nine Heavens Continent, they could use this opportunity to elevate their entire family and friends to immortality.
"We're willing to pay any price! Once the contract is signed, our master's direction will be ours!!!"
"No seats! We will remain loyal to the end!!!"
"..."
A group of Heavenly Dao also had something to do, shouting loudly, expressing their loyalty even before signing any contracts.
Lu Qing'an nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, let's make all the contracts then. Anyway, besides creating the Nine Heavens Continent, I also want to take the opportunity to build a new and powerful star field," Lu Qing'an said.
A group of Heavenly Dao were overjoyed.
And so, Lu Qing'an happily issued these Heavenly Dao Contracts, while outwardly maintaining his powerful demeanor, showing no joy or sorrow, and giving off an extremely strong sense of authority.
A group of Heavenly Dao were overjoyed after being contracted by Lu Qing'an.
It was as if a bright future was already beckoning to them!
Lu Qing'an said, "Alright, from this moment on, all of you should move the mainland this way."
In this remote star field, each continent is quite far apart, and the more powerful the continent, the farther apart they are.
It's not that there are any necessary conditions, but rather that these continents don't want their geniuses to be lost to other continents, so they deliberately stay away from other continents.
Things are different now. Their relationship has changed, and with Lu Qing'an's order, there's no problem with the two continents getting closer.
Of course, they need to discuss and establish a set of rules to maintain order on their respective continents.
Having dealt with these Heavenly Dao, it would take him some time—about a month—for the Eternal Night Continent to merge with the other continents of the same origin. Therefore, he would need to take care of other matters during the remaining time.
Right now, there's something he needs to deal with.
He looked at the blond-haired Heavenly Dao, who hadn't made a single move from beginning to end.
Not only him, but all the other Heavenly Dao and Li Wensong also looked towards this Heavenly Dao.
Lu Qing'an glanced at Cang Ru and Dan Yun. The two women instantly understood what Lu Qing'an wanted to do just by looking at Lu Qing'an eyes. So, before Lu Qing'an could speak, they looked at the blond-haired Heavenly Dao.
"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong with you?" Cang Ru asked.
Dan Yun also asked, "Don't you have any ideas?"
The blond-haired Heavenly Dao glanced at Dan Yun and Cang Ru, then said, "I have a feeling something's not right."
After these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
Yinghua asked, "Huang Qi, what do you mean by that?"
They were both Heavenly Dao beings from the Fifth Heaven Continent, the most prestigious continent in this star field. They had known each other for quite some time, but they lived far apart on weekdays, so their relationship was only so-so despite knowing each other for a long time.
Huang Qi said, "I have a gut feeling that things are far more complicated than we think, and I have another concern. You all say this person is Eternal Realm expert, but what I see is that he only has the cultivation of the Early Undying Realm."
Lu Qing'an looked at Huang Qi, who was speaking slowly and calmly, giving off a sense of pragmatism, and pondered inwardly.
He roughly knew what kind of properties Huang Qi was.
A person who seeks truth from facts.
Sometimes, it's precisely these kinds of people—those who aren't quick-witted—who are less likely to be fooled.
Yinghua frowned and said, "What, you doubt that our master isn't Eternal Realm expert?"
Huang Qi said, "I have no doubt that this senior is at the Peak Sovereign Realm, after all, that cultivation level cannot be faked. But from beginning to end, the feeling I got from him was that he only had the cultivation of the Early Undying Realm."
Her meaning was quite clear.
She wouldn't believe it until she saw the Eternal Realm cultivation level!
Something feels off.
It would be better to just be a dutiful ruler of the Fifth Heaven Continent.
Unlike the Linghua Continent where Yinghua resides, as long as she cultivates diligently and spends a long time, there is a slight chance that she can break through to the Sixth Heaven level.
