Chapter 628 - 622: Infiltration Plan
The internal meeting of the Holy Radiance Empire lasted only half an hour before it concluded.
Yet the information contained within was extremely significant.
The emperors on the anti-alliance side actually planned to execute a joint massacre against the people of the Realm Alliance before the Demon invasion ended.
In order to seize a large number of divine formats, for massive cultivation of high-tier lords!
Lin You, upon hearing this news, was both surprised and delighted.
If this plan succeeded, he would have a great chance of acquiring the sixth divine format, greatly enhancing his power.
The timing for their action would be when the last space core of Tier Eleven appears!
At that moment, all the lords of the anti-alliance camp would unite to wipe out the people of the Realm Alliance.
Catching them off guard, they would surely acquire a large number of complete divine formats, marking a prime opportunity for quickly enhancing their strength.
"Alright, that’s all I have to say. Lin You, stay behind; everyone else can leave."
At the end of the meeting, the Holy Radiance Emperor specifically kept Lin You back.
The other kings rose one by one, bidding farewell as they hurried back to their respective duchies to prepare for the upcoming action.
Once the great hall was left with only the Holy Radiance Emperor and Lin You, Lin You’s expression gradually turned serious as he spoke softly: "Emperor, this plan of action shouldn’t be that simple, right?"
"Clever."
The Holy Radiance Emperor smiled slightly, waving his hand to isolate the entire hall from the outside world.
Seeing this, Lin You mused silently, indeed, he was right.
The plan wasn’t as simple as he initially imagined.
Because it was too obvious.
Among the anti-alliance camp, there were countless lords above Tier Ten.
No one could guarantee that there wouldn’t be any Realm Alliance insiders among them; once the news leaked, the Realm Alliance would surely take precautions and wouldn’t easily fall into their trap.
So he speculated that the plan might just be a facade.
"Sit down and talk."
The Holy Radiance Emperor resumed his seat.
Once Lin You sat down, he said earnestly: "This joint massacre plan is indeed just a facade; although slaying a large number of their high-tier lords would be ideal, it’s not essential."
"Our primary target is the space gate within the Demon Space leading into the heart of the Realm Alliance."
"Space gate?" Lin You was stunned, quickly reacting, "You mean... attack the very heart of the Realm Alliance through the space gate!?"
During earlier battles between the camps, the Realm Alliance had constructed an extremely formidable defensive barrier based on the continent, halting the advance of the anti-alliance camp.
However, the emergence of Demon Space connected all realms including the Realm Alliance, opening up several space gates.
And it must be said.
Utilizing the joint massacre to divert the Realm Alliance’s focus while invading their realm was indeed feasible, leaving Lin You increasingly excited.
Then he heard the Holy Radiance Emperor continue:
"This time, our goal isn’t to invade the Realm Alliance extensively, but to send a few elite squads inside to dismantle their defense array from within."
"We’ve studied it; the Realm Alliance’s defense array concentrates all defenses externally, leaving internal defenses exceedingly weak, even Tier Eleven can easily breach it."
"Therefore, we’ll deploy an Emperor Level team to keep their Great Emperors occupied, while you handle dismantling the array."
The Holy Radiance Emperor explained the process of the plan briefly and solemnly.
Yet after listening, Lin You became even more perplexed.
"According to you, this mission seems quite dangerous, shouldn’t it be assigned to those nine divine formats lords?"
"No." The Holy Radiance Emperor shook his head, "On the contrary, because this mission is perilously dangerous, all major realms want to avoid sending their Emperor Level prospects on such risks, hence the decision to send slightly weaker individuals."
"..."
Lin You remained speechless, but wasn’t surprised.
After all, those nine divine formats lords were Emperor Level prospects, potentially advancing to Emperor Level at any moment, naturally the realms wouldn’t want them risking themselves; he understood this.
But the following words from the Holy Radiance Emperor caused his spirit to stir.
"Each realm needs only one slot for this mission; I’ve discussed with other Emperors within the realm, and as long as the mission is completed, a full divine format will be directly awarded. I’ve recommended you, but whether or not to undertake it is your decision."
A reward of one divine format!?
This reward was incredible, enough to drive many Tier Eleven lords mad.
Yet logic warned Lin You that this reward was not easily won.
Because it was the final frontline of the Realm Alliance, surely guarded by numerous high-tier lords, the risk level wasn’t ordinary.
As he contemplated, the Holy Radiance Emperor’s voice reached him again:
"This insect type divine format was originally kept for cultivating the next Emperor, but as our realm’s nine divine formats lords lack anyone needing this type, we decided to offer it as a reward."
"If you choose not to go, I’ll immediately inform the other Emperors to select a new candidate."
"To go! Why not?" Upon hearing it was an insect type divine format, Lin You immediately perked up.
Right now, he was lacking that specific type of divine format; how could he possibly miss it?
Moreover, his time was limited, with merely eight and a half months remaining; if he didn’t seize this opportunity, he would succumb to the Reincarnation of Ten Thousand Realms.
Besides, he had many means to ensure survival; with caution, perhaps he could successfully complete the mission.
"You truly want to go?" The Holy Radiance Emperor raised an eyebrow.
Seemingly having anticipated this outcome, he suddenly laughed: "I knew you would take this mission, so I already vouched for you with the Emperors, and secured the mission directly."
"..."
Lin You was at a loss for words.
So, you acted first and reported later.
As if seeing through his thoughts, the Saint Radiance Emperor continued, "Don’t blame me. Soon, the Ten Thousand Realms Continent will undergo a great upheaval. Only by growing stronger will you have a chance to survive."
Upon hearing this, Lin You couldn’t help but show a flicker in his eyes.
The upheaval surely refers to the Reincarnation of Ten Thousand Realms.
When the reincarnation starts, all beings are like ants. This action by the Great Emperor is clearly seeking a way out for him, which can’t help but move him.
"Alright, those are all the instructions. In the next few days, work hard to improve your strength, and you’ll be notified when it’s time to act."
The Saint Radiance Emperor did not say much more and waved his hand to remove the barrier.
"Then I’ll take my leave."
Lin You clasped his hands and departed, instantly teleporting away, hurrying back to the Kingdom.
An emergency internal meeting had thus come to a temporary close.
...
After returning to his territory,
Lin You did not linger. After simply preparing, he directly used the Teleportation Gate to reach the main city at the border.
Judging by the current situation.
The last Space Core will appear in no more than ten days.
This means he only has ten days to build up his power, possibly even less.
During this period, he must gather as many resources as possible.
More importantly, upgrading to Tier Twelve requires five million Rule Fragments.
Such a massive amount of resources cannot possibly be amassed within half a year relying solely on the production of the Origin Universe and the Kingdom.
If he does not seize this opportunity during the Demon invasion, it will be much harder to collect Rule Fragments in large quantities in the future.
"No more time can be wasted."
Lin You thought silently and accelerated his pace towards the Realm Border, soon passing through the Golden Space Gate, entering a large Demon Space.
At this moment, inside the space, the columns of light symbolizing Original Force Treasures were down to just over twenty, all located deep within the space, surrounded by SSS-level Lord Demons everywhere.
Given his strength, dealing with these is quite challenging, and he might even suffer losses, making it not worth the effort.
So he stopped competing for the Original Force Treasures with other Lords and instead changed his strategy, starting to search the peripheral areas for Lord Demons.
Any Lord Demons below S-level were not spared, as he swept through them all.
It must be said.
With the Royal Family attributes enhanced and the number of Legendary Species increased, his efficiency in clearing monsters has indeed improved significantly.
In just half a day, he gained the amount equivalent to what he previously would in a whole day.
Even the daily output of Faith Fruits is gradually increasing, slowly approaching the mark of 5,000.
Until the nightfall when the Aura of Chaos around the space grew increasingly restless, Lin You returned to the territory with a bounty of harvest.
Then, the next morning, he set off again towards the Space Gate, to hunt Demons.
After nine days of relentless fighting, a notification suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Attention all Lords, the Ten Great Primordial Forces have all been destroyed, and the Space Core has appeared.]
[Please immediately proceed to the target location, destroy the core, and complete the final task.]
Is it finally coming?
Inside a certain Demon Nest, Lin You looked up towards the depths while handling corpses, and indeed, the last beam of light was rapidly dissipating.
In its place, a kaleidoscope of lights shot up into the sky, converging from all directions in the space towards the deepest part.
That’s a sign of the Chaos Primordial Beast’s appearance.
Also the last Chaos Primordial Beast in this space.
Lin You did not linger further and immediately recalled his species, heading back towards the direction of the Realm.
Upon passing through the Space Gate and returning to the Realm Border, he found many High-tier Lords from their Primordial Realm have already gathered outside, even the Great Emperors were all present, standing aloft in the sky.
"Great Emperor."
Lin You teleported in front of Saint Radiance.
Instantly, all the Great Emperors’ gazes fell upon him in unison, evidently aware that the Tier Eleven representative sent this time is him.
"Are you ready?" Saint Radiance Emperor couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes, I’m ready." Lin You nodded in response.
These few days of incessant battles allowed him to accumulate a total of 150,000 Rule Fragments, finally increasing the number of Legendary Species to over 20,000.
The variety of species has also increased, covering almost all advanced forms of combat species.
With attributes far surpassing ordinary species, they won’t be at a disadvantage even if swarmed by two or three times their number of species.
Hearing his answer, Saint Radiance also nodded silently, saying nothing more.
All necessary instructions had already been given before.
After waiting for over ten more minutes at the entrance, the leading Dragon Abyss Emperor finally waved his grand hand.
"Set off!"
At the command, the Lords turned into streams of light, entering the Demon Spaces of various levels.
At the same time.
On the Realm Border on the Anti-Alliance side, a large gathering of High-tier Lords was similarly rushing into the Demon Space under the leadership of their Great Emperors.
A large-scale extermination operation has finally officially begun!
