497: Officially join the partnership

"The Omniscient Eye, you created it?"

Hearing Yang Jian's words, Qin Yang only felt his mind was a bit muddled.

According to Elebella's previous statement, the Omniscient Eye was an existence higher and more ancient than the True God Dimension.

They even speculated that the Omniscient Eye was the Inner Divinity of the will of the heavens.

But Yang Jian said that this thing was just something he created specifically to deal with him?

Doesn't that mean... Yang Jian had been setting up this chess game even before he was born?

That's actually possible.

If Qin Yang remembered correctly, Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye could see the past, present, and future.

If he foresaw his appearance, it wasn't impossible for him to set up a scheme in advance.

Moreover, the existence of the Jianmu was also earlier than the Elves.

In other words... the Heavenly Court didn't just start targeting him recently.

Instead, it came to the Myriad Worlds to ambush him long before the appearance of Akatosh and other gods.

Damn it.

How much hatred is this, exactly?

As his thoughts deepened, Qin Yang's gaze shifted from confusion to sudden realization.

He could already guess a corner of the truth.

Simply put, it should be that the Human Emperor's will came to the Myriad Worlds, wanting to make a comeback.

After being discovered by the people on the list, Yang Jian was dispatched as a vanguard to track him here.

He planted the Jianmu and even created the Elf Civilization.

His purpose was to open a bridge connecting the Heavenly Court to the Myriad Worlds.

It truly is a grand plan for the ages!

Once the Jianmu takes shape, the Human Emperor will be instantly killed upon showing his head!

However... the Heavenly Court also didn't know that Erlang Shen was a double-crosser.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang said to Yang Jian, "So, as the Omniscient Eye, you were both fighting against me and helping me?"

"No."

Yang Jian shook his head and said, "The Demonic Eye is not an identity; it is a real existence with its own will. When it faced you, it always fought to kill. Only by doing so could it prevent the Heavenly Court from becoming suspicious."

Qin Yang asked again, "Then how did you help me?"

"That's very clever."

Yang Jian smiled cunningly and said, "Firstly, I created the Demonic Eye, so I know what it intends to do to you. Secondly, I can also, to a certain extent, influence its decisions. For example..."

Yang Jian paused, then continued, "I know you have a knack for dealing with bugs, so..."

Qin Yang was startled and interjected, "You arranged for the Void Zerg to allow me to step into the Emperor Tier?"

"Haha, isn't it clever?"

Yang Jian smiled triumphantly, floating around Qin Yang, and laughed:

"No need to thank me, this is just a small bit of help."

"If your own strength wasn't enough, you wouldn't have been able to defeat the Demonic Eye."

"To be honest, you surprised me..."

At this point, Yang Jian placed a hand on Qin Yang's shoulder and said, "The will of the Human Emperor is stronger than I imagined. It was then that I decided to bring you into the fold."

"You too."

Qin Yang patted Yang Jian's hand on his shoulder and said, "You also surprised me."

He had thought that his existence was catalyzed by the will of the Emperor Tier.

But he hadn't expected that along the way, there was also help from a certain double-crosser.

To be honest, if it weren't for that wave of Void Zerg, the time it would have taken him to become the Human Emperor would have been pushed back several years.

After all, high-Rank Secret Realms are extremely rare and scattered across the world.

Grinding them one by one would take a lot of time.

Even if all known high-Rank Secret Realms were cleared, the experience might not be enough to reach Rank 180.

One must know that most Emperor-Ranked Professionals rely on meditation to level up in the Late Stage.

The main reason is that at higher Ranks, there simply aren't enough monsters that can provide them with experience to grind.

Qin Yang couldn't help but laugh at the idea of "one-click max level."

He had jokingly said at the time that the Omniscient Eye also had the merit of assisting the Dragon.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It really did!

Returning to Yang Jian's previous question.

To join or not to join?

Qin Yang's answer was yes!

Why had he felt so much pressure before?

Wasn't it because he was fighting alone, with no one to share the burden?

He could only discuss the matter of the people on the list with Su Daji.

He couldn't even begin to talk about it with others, and even if he did, it would be useless and only cause panic.

Now that there was an organization, it not only relieved pressure but also made the goal clearer.

Qin Yang looked at Yang Jian and extended his hand: "Your judgment is good; I will not disappoint you."

Yang Jian clasped Qin Yang's hand and smiled, "Welcome aboard, Vice-Captain."

Immediately, he pulled Qin Yang closer, his gaze turning grim, and said, "Next, let's talk about the first mission. The Demonic Eye's mission is complete, but I can't personally eliminate it, do you understand?"

Qin Yang nodded, "Leave it to me. I once said I would kill it with my own hands."

"Be careful, it's very strong."

Yang Jian patted Qin Yang's shoulder, then drifted backward.

As he drifted, he said, "Also, achieve the Human Emperor Rank as soon as possible. Only then will we have the strength to rescue the monkey."

As his voice faded, Yang Jian's figure vanished into the air.

The gentle breeze turned into a howling gale.

His Dragon robe flapped loudly in the wind.

Qin Yang's eyes were sharp and clear.

He gazed in the direction where Yang Jian disappeared, pondering for a long time.

Finally, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he chuckled to himself, "The wind is rising."

..."There are still three days' journey to the territory of the Night Elves."

"This plain is the most dangerous area."

In the Elf World, on a lush green plain.

Suneika looked around, gazing at the distant mountains, her eyes filled with worry.

Beside her was a migrating team of 800,000 refugees. The length of the team was incredibly astonishing, with no end in sight both ahead and behind.

Suneika greatly doubted whether her 1,000 Tiance Imperial Guards could protect such a large force.

She knew the strength of the Tiance Imperial Guards.

Even compared to Elves, their basic attributes already exceeded those of Peak Monarchs.

Their individual combat power could probably rival a fully equipped early-stage Monarch.

Suneika would be completely at ease if this force were guarding a city.

But to protect 800,000 Elf civilians on this flat, open plain, that was quite absurd.

A refugee team of 800,000 people would be at least 120 kilometers long.

Divided among 1,000 Tiance Imperial Guards, that means each Tiance Imperial Guard would have to protect 800 people and cover a length of 1 kilometer.

This was an almost impossible task.

The plains are most suitable for cavalry warfare, and the Orcs' Wolf Riders are extremely fierce.

They can cross a distance of 1 kilometer in the blink of an eye.

Once they charge into the migrating team,

the Elves would be unable to use large-area AOE skills to defend against enemies.

What's worse... the Orcs wouldn't attack from just one direction.

They would definitely divide the migrating team into multiple sections, then surround and slaughter them one by one.

Suneika even felt that this great migration was no different from a mass suicide.

The only thing that made Suneika feel at ease was the sword suspended in the air.

That sword had been following the migrating team, seemingly ready to strike down any invading enemies at any time.

"The Divine Emperor deploys the Tiance Imperial Guards through that sword."

"This method of deploying power is exactly the same as that of the gods."

"Perhaps he is watching all of this."

Thinking of this, Suneika's worries in her heart eased quite a bit.

But just then, a clear cry rang out.

"Night owl's cry, the Night Elves are here!"

"Are they here to meet us!"

"Finally, we're saved. Without reinforcements, we couldn't possibly reach their territory."

Hearing the cry, the High Elves were all invigorated.

Suneika also smiled, her previous worries completely vanished.

However... "Wind!"

With a loud shout, a Tiance Imperial Guard guarding one side of the team raised his shield and took a combat stance.
