Chapter 156 (continued)

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue's expression changed. She looked up at Li Yang and asked with complicated emotions, "Sand Fruit King..."

Li Yang did not answer, but instead used Time Rewind to fully show Jiang Yue what had just happened.

Jiang Yue saw the fleeing Sand Fruit King.

She heard his complaints about her.

They also witnessed the Sand Fruit King fleeing to the Third Military Camp and devouring the Sand Fruit Clan soldiers.

Those soldiers were all his trusted men, yet Sand Fruit King did not hesitate at all when he devoured them.

Dozens of the Fifth Grade Realm Sand Fruit Clan merged into the Sand Fruit King's body, forming a bizarre and strange tree.

That strange tree bore no resemblance to the Sand Fruit King; it had become a terrifying monster.

Jiang Yue stared, her face pale, but she didn't look away.

In the final scene, Li Yang, braving the overwhelming Star Skill, rushed to the core of the Sand Fruit King and killed him with a single sword strike.

With a deafening roar, the aftershocks of the explosion leveled the Third Military Camp.

If it weren't for Li Yang's powerful light shield, she would probably have died on the spot.

"He's dead..." Jiang Yue finally uttered these three words after a long while.

Li Yang looked at her and said, "Next, we need to put on a show."

Jiang Yue was clearly still in shock from the Time Rewind, and she stared at her blankly.

Li Yang looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "Princess Jiangyue, you must become the new queen of the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, and you must win the hearts of the people and obey the will of Heaven."

Sand Fruit King died, but he had more than 200 princes and princesses.

If the succession is based on the prevailing circumstances, then no matter how you arrange the order, it won't go to the unfavored Jiang Yue.

However, these can all be manipulated.

On one hand, Li Yang will purge all the mutated Sand Fruit Clan, who are all confidants of the Sand Fruit King, and even his favored children; on the other hand, Li Yang will also promote Jiang Yue, letting the ordinary people of the Sand Fruit Clan know what Princess Jiangyue has done for the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, so that they will spontaneously support Princess Jiangyue to the throne!

After listening to Li Yang's arrangements, Jiang Yue slowly nodded and said after a long while, "Okay... okay."

Jiang Yue is brave enough and has a heart that loves the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, but she...

Trickery

I am completely unfamiliar with politics.

Fortunately, she trusted Li Yang completely.

As long as she follows Li Yang's arrangements, she can smoothly succeed to the throne. The subsequent management of the Sand Fruit Realm Domain will also be easier because of Li Yang's advance preparations.

Li Yang transformed into the form of the Sand Fruit King and said to Jiang Yue, "Then, let's begin."

Li Yang's arrangements were very thorough.

The Sand Fruit King is dead, but this news has not leaked out.

Li Yang first disguised himself as the Vest Sand Fruit King, and then, in his identity as the Sand Fruit King, wiped out all the mutated Sand Fruit Clan.

In the process of purging the mutated Sand Fruit Clan, panic may also be caused in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

The frequent disappearances of high-ranking members of the Sand Fruit Clan indicate that there are problems within the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

At this moment, Jiang Yue bravely stepped forward and led everyone to search for the demon lurking in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

This was a script with a rather long production cycle, but it was undoubtedly necessary and the most effective.

This would allow for a precise strike against the Sand Fruit King's confidants—those mutated Sand Fruit Clan —and would also help Jiang Yue over the hearts of the people, thus paving the way for his later ascension to the throne.

Because the process was quite lengthy, Li Yang managed to steal a moment from her busy schedule to return to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

She has already set up anchor points in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, making it very convenient for her to travel back and forth.

After returning to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, she gave the collected polluted seeds to Li Yaowan.

After observing the situation in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain through Time Rewind, Li Yaowan couldn't help but exclaim, "This Princess Jiangyue is truly blessed!"

Although she felt a little heartbroken about Jiang Yue taking the Life-Extending Pill, she approved of Li Yang's arrangement.

If it weren't for this little Sand Fruit transmitting the coordinates of Fenglie Main City to the Nature Department, Huaxia Heavenly Palace would probably still be struggling to survive.

The Fenglie Clan has a terrifying racial trait.

They are a race born from a primitive way of life.

The Fenglie Clan's reproductive methods are completely different from those of the Huaxia, even subverting the Huaxia people's imagination.

They do not reproduce sexually, but rather through asexual reproduction.

The Divine Venerable who resides in the Fenglie Main City is the primordial wind of the Fenglie Clan. As long as he continues to rearrange and combine the wind, a large number of the Fenglie Clan can be born.

Li Yang listened in bewilderment; even though Li Yaowan explained it in great detail, she still found it difficult to understand.

"Permutations and combinations..." Li Yang couldn't imagine that this was actually a method of reproduction.

"Let me give you an analogy," Li Yaowan explained in a way she could understand, "Just as our DNA constantly recombines during sexual reproduction, the Divine Venerable of the Fenglie Clan rearrange and combine the primordial winds, thus giving birth to the endless Fenglie Clan."

Hearing this, Li Yang could barely understand it, but it still felt like it overturned her worldview.

Li Yaowan added, "These things are beyond your realm, so don't think about them too deeply, as it will affect your subsequent cultivation. I'm only saying this to tell you that if Xiao Jiang Yue hadn't obtained the coordinates of Fenglie Main City, the Nature Department wouldn't have been able to locate them, and it would have been very difficult for us to defeat the Fenglie Clan Fenglie Main City."

Li Yang nodded and said firmly, "I understand."

Li Yaowan sighed again, "It's absurd to think about it. That Divine Venerable of the Fenglie Clan could never have imagined... that an insignificant Third Grade Realm from a small Realm Domain that was dependent on him would actually reveal the coordinates of the Fenglie Main City."

This is truly surprising.

Who would have thought that in such a fierce war, the one who would turn the tide would be an insignificant little Sand Fruit?

Li Yang felt a pang of sadness and said softly, "Isn't the same true for the Nature Department?"

Li Yaowan fell silent.

She understood what Li Yang meant by those words.

This gave rise to an even stronger sense of absurdity.

Yes, who could have imagined that such a powerful Nature Department, instead of falling to the Divine Venerable of the Fenglie Clan, would fall to the greed of one of its own auxiliary students?

Li Yang gathered her thoughts and steered the conversation back to the situation in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

She plans to help Jiang Yue ascend the throne, and then apply for protection from the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, and finally take the protection rights of the Sand Fruit Realm Domain under her own name.

Li Yaowan said, "These are not difficult, but the Lost Space Society..." She was worried that after the Sand Fruit Realm Domain returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, the identity of the Bone Peach Mother Tree would be exposed.

Li Yang said, "If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way— the Bone Peach Mother Tree devoured the Sand Fruit King, but she didn't expect that the Huaxia Heavenly Palace was waiting in the wings, so it's only natural that she lost the Sand Fruit Realm Domain."

Following her line of thought, Li Yaowan nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we have the Huaxia Heavenly Palace send out troops to pretend to drive away the Bone Peach Mother Tree, we can take over the Sand Fruit Realm Domain."

Li Yang: "Yes, and I can also complain to Kong Shisan, further deepening the Bone Peach Mother Tree's resentment towards the Huaxia Realm Domain."

In this way, the character design of the Bone Peach Mother Tree hating the Huaxia Realm Domain even more solidly is further solidified!

These things must be done gradually; there's no need to rush.

Right now, Li Yang is most concerned about those contaminated seeds.

Li Yaowan said, "We're already researching it, but there's no record of it in the Nature Department's materials. However, some minors in the Nature Department have a real talent for studying seeds; they can grasp the structure of Sand Fruit seeds, but this contaminated part... we just can't seem to get rid of it."

"Is this pollution related to the Lost Space Society?"

Li Yang's question was directed at Li Yaowan, but unexpectedly, Sister Longevity Changsheng displayed a message: [Consume 1000 years to perform the query?]

Li Yang: "..."

Li Yaowan couldn't see the subtitles. She pondered, "It's hard to say... Perhaps it's just pollution caused by consuming sentient Astral Realm beings."

Li Yang cleared her throat and said, "Well, I'll try asking the * Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra * (a Buddhist text), see if it knows anything about it."

"Quickly, ask!" Li Yaowan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "The 'Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra' has a high probability of knowing such information. You should contemplate it carefully!"

After saying this, Li Yaowan wanted to leave first, giving Li Yang time to meditate.

However, Li Yang had already exhausted her lifespan to make the inquiry, and Sister Longevity gave her a reply: [Please collect Deep Spring Water as soon as possible; it can be refined into a purification liquid.]

Li Yang: "!"

I never knew Deep Spring Water had this effect!

She quickly said, "Teacher Li, there's a special water source in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain that seems to be able to purify pollution. I'll go get some, and you can arrange for someone to study it."

Li Yaowan paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you done asking?"

Li Yang looked blank, not immediately understanding the meaning of her words.

You've finished asking your questions.

Does this inquiry require some kind of ritual?

Li Yaowan stroked his chin and said, "Your talent... is truly terrifying. You finished asking all the questions in the blink of an eye."

Upon hearing the word "talent," Li Yang reacted somewhat nervously.

Her talent is quite terrifying.

It's not that they're terrifyingly strong, but rather that they're terrifyingly weak.

Li Yaowan: "Even the Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Nature Department back then needed to meditate for several days and nights to comprehend the teachings of Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra..."

Li Yang finished in a second.

Li Yaowan was shocked once again!

Upon hearing Li Yaowan's words, Li Yang understood what had happened.

How should I put it?

If you really want to calculate it, each time she asked Sister Longevity, she consumed at least 365 days of her lifespan.

The number three days and three nights.

Li Yang had never even heard of it.

One year is the shortest; the longest could take a million years!

Oh well, Li Yang was already used to her terrible talent.

Now that he had a clue, Li Yang returned to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain and tried to get his hands on the Deep Spring Water.

Jiang Yue has been very busy lately.

The Qing Teng Squad has become an assassination squad, and under Li Yang's arrangement, they assassinate a mutated Sand Fruit Clan every two or three days.

The Third Military Camp has been sealed off, and no information has leaked out.
