Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start
Chapter 648 - 327: The Evil God’s Backlash (Part 2)
"Let me give it a try..." Sabo was somewhat conflicted.
He didn’t really want to go back to that place, or rather, the Divine War was too grand, and the underworld is now full of corrupt rules with Mutated Zones crisscrossing each other, almost devoid of normal living beings.
It’s like an advanced but sealed dungeon.
The Abyss Lords are well-fed in there, almost being able to cross into the underworld.
So, if Sabo wanted to get some Earth Core Deposits, he’d probably have to face those who are Demigod or True God Level.
Currently, there are thirteen True Gods in the Abyss, at least three in the underworld.
"Just let your clone go. I see your clone has probably inherited most of your Talent."
Baiyi pondered and said, "What you need to do now is help me find the one devouring Destiny, and then get rid of him. He’s intentionally sabotaging the relations between the Star and Dawn."
Sabo turned his head, his eyeballs suddenly disappeared, leaving only black eye sockets. Inside his sockets, there seemed to be ripples like those just exhibited by the god.
Just by looking, Enmi could feel a powerful unease.
He suddenly opened his eyes, immediately drawn to Sabo’s eye sockets, and then his manifested destiny suddenly collapsed, causing him to pass out again.
"I need some time." Sabo frowned, his eyes heavy: "The distrust from Him towards me is greater than I imagined, and the opponent is highly restraining to me."
"It’s alright, the thing we lack the most is time, but it’s also what we lack the least." Baiyi said as he looked towards Jia Lan, who was silently bowing her head but trembling all over: "Did you hear everything?"
Jia Lan’s body suddenly trembled, instinctively replying: "No... didn’t hear..."
Then she suddenly realized, turned back to look, but those few of the Silver were just respectfully bowing their heads, showing no surprise.
Her heart skipped a beat, if Baiyi didn’t want her to know, then even if he spoke in front of her, she wouldn’t hear it.
Clearly, this was to involve her, rather than using this excuse as a means of silencing her.
"I... I heard, I heard it all."
She hurriedly changed her words, quickly nodding, eyes full of panic.
Baiyi’s appreciation for her increased a bit; this person was very suitable for being an emissary.
She was acutely aware of the points that others would find hard to think of.
Considering things from a normal perspective, if you are to represent a Federation to another, you should embody the dignity and respect of your Federation, so that your Federation won’t lose face.
But this is Xia, she’s facing Baiyi, a Tier Five Legendary. It’s only proper to be humble in front of the powerful.
And naturally, Federations stand as each other’s most reliable allies.
Just like those free Forbidden Curses, or the free knowledge from Baiyi.
The role of the emissary now is solely to execute the orders of the Legendary; the emissary represents nothing by themselves.
So, no matter how humbly she behaves, it doesn’t affect the image of the Star in other Federations.
Her toughness and humility are reserved for facing the Legislators, not the Legendaries. Legendaries, especially the High-Tier Legendaries, will not belittle another High-Tier Legendary based on the conduct of an emissary.
That would be foolish behavior.
"I’ll have someone take you to the Capital City later and hold a council for you. For strategic resources, I only want to follow Mr. Noel’s wishes, understood?" Baiyi calmly said.
Legislators represent the Federation, but also their own family; for a Federation and a family, earning rightful profits is necessary.
But Legendaries don’t need to use this stuff to make money, unless it’s targeting Alien Races, like the Sea Race.
As for other things, if everything is deprived of profit, how could trade even begin? That’s why Baiyi specifically mentioned strategic resources.
Like the A Series City Defense Mecha, which is of Legendary level strength.
"Got it." Jia Lan let out a small sigh of relief, a look of ease appearing in her eyes.
Baiyi nodded: "Even though it was the Inheritor of the Evil God who devoured this person’s Destiny, it’s his fault for the loss in Dongwu City. I won’t pursue this matter, but regarding compensation, Mr. Sabo will discuss it with him. Do you have any objections?"
"No, rest assured, Mr. Baiyi. I will faithfully convey this to Mr. Noel." Jia Lan obediently said, without a hint of disagreement.
"Matt Wei."
Baiyi calmly spoke.
Buzz~
A golden light in the sky instantly approached, landing outside the City Lord’s Mansion, entering quickly like a gust of wind, and arrived in front of Baiyi.
He saluted: "Mr. Baiyi, I’m here."
"Take her to the Capital City for the council."
"As you command, Miss Jia Lan, this way please."
As the emissaries left, Sabo moved over to Enmi, squinting with a smile and said: "To what extent do my friends need to go?"
"As emissaries of a friendly nation, we can’t let them lose their lives."
"Is that so? I understand now." Sabo rubbed his ankle, grabbed Enmi’s wrist with his grimy hand, and led him out.
"There are still fifteen in the dungeon, all children of Legislators."
"Got it, my friend. The Star Federation is indeed wealthy, but for the first trade, we need a fifty-fifty split."
"Agreed."
With that, Sabo too disappeared into the City Lord’s Mansion.
Baiyi’s usually calm eyes rippled a little.
God...
"Brother, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing."
Baiyi responded, the slight worry in his eyes vanishing, reaching out to pat Luoning’s head.
"You’ve done a great job again this time, what kind of reward do you want?"
"N-no need." Luoning lowered her head, feeling the sensation on the top of her head, her voice very small: "I am quite content with the present."
"Then I’ll also entrust Dongwu City to you, the target might still be Dongwu City." Baiyi withdrew his hand, instructed: "But you cannot leave the City Lord’s Mansion."
"I understand, and no matter if it’s a God, if I’m going to get hurt, my Premonition will show the God." Luoning quietly said.
"Mhm, go cultivate." Baiyi said, turning as he walked toward the laboratory.
The sixth Mechanical Key was about to be completed.
Baiyi planned to make ten of these.
Mainly because they’re too expensive to manufacture, and the Celestial City project of Dongwu City nearly emptied out Dongwu City’s finances; Baiyi couldn’t keep spending lavishly like before.
That’s why he let Sabo negotiate with those sixteen emissaries of the Star Federation.
They represent the Star Federation’s Legislators, and in the trade between Federations, having the green light from sixteen Legislator Clans is a great boon for Dongwu City, and even for the entire Dawn.
Of course, trade is mutual, while convening the council, Baiyi also had Zero send the current information of Star and Dawn to Metheus.
Metheus, being a worldly-wise man, would skillfully manage the relationship between the two Federations.
What Dawn needs now is a win-win, or rather, to have the bigger share of the win-win.
Whether it’s commerce or otherwise, be it with the Sea Race, Dawn, or Star, Dawn can profit as a whole.
But this is not something Baiyi needed to concern himself with.
The troop-producing capability of ten Mechanical Keys is already quite good, after these are done, Baiyi needs to delve further into mechanics.
If he could create the A Series City Defense Mecha, combining the Mecha with the Mechanical Keys...
Baiyi glanced at his Special Skill Points, with only four left now.
It’s indeed not enough, but there’s no help for it. Aside from hunting High-Tier Legendaries and Demigods, Baiyi really didn’t know how else to obtain them.
And Demigod...
Baiyi thought of Netherworld, still battling back and forth with the Sea Race.
Ultimately, he dismissed the idea; Netherworld had three Demigods, Baiyi’s pure combat strength against a Demigod should be around forty to sixty.
Using Sun Salutation could make it sixty to forty.
But the other side has three Demigods... plus the Divine Power blessing.
This is quite unfriendly, wanting to hunt Demigods to farm skill points requires being a Tier Eight Legendary, and the Dark Side directly ascending to Forbidden Level.
Should that happen, he wouldn’t even flinch against three Demigods all at once.
Baiyi wouldn’t underestimate any God, and Sabo was already showing signs of wanting to slip up.
Let alone that Netherworld has Seven Gods.
But speaking of Netherworld...
Baiyi thought of yet another Rebellious Daughter seemingly deployed to Netherworld, with absolutely no feedback, that’s not good.
Multiple planes in the Abyss have collapsed, with numerous Abyss Lords dead, directly reducing half of the mutations in Xia, which was exactly the effect Baiyi wanted.
[You created Mechanical Key ×1, Experience Value +2000000, skill points +2, attribute points +1, Extra Experience Value +2000000.]
Baiyi let out a deep breath, the success rate was still one hundred percent, no resource was wasted...
Baiyi took out the Cross-Dimensional Communicator, inexplicably a thought emerged.
The two rebellious sons are still obedient, but the two rebellious daughters are so rebellious; should he name future Silkworm Life exclusively with male names?
