196: Golden Crow!

Who should use this Professional Upgrade Card? It was a difficult problem.

If Cui Hu used it,

The Dungeon would lose its main carry.

After all, once the Upgrade Card was used, Cui Hu would enter the Zhao Yi Realm and would no longer be able to enter the Dungeon.

Without him, the difficulty for this team to clear the Dungeon would increase significantly.

To put it bluntly, the output would decrease.

This wasn't just true for Cui Hu; it applied to everyone in this team.

Whomever was promoted, it would affect the output.

Ye Su did not interfere.

You can't have your cake and eat it too; they had to decide for themselves.

Ultimately, the Upgrade Card was sealed away.

The overall decision was to prioritize getting more output from the Dungeon.

That was what needed to be done at this stage.

---The third day of Tomb Sweeping Day.

A plane arrived from the Imperial Capital; it was The Executor.

"So, isn't this the Divine Path?"

The Executor was momentarily stunned after hearing Ye Su's words.

"The Divine Path requires a massive amount of Power Of Faith. How much population does our Great Xia even have?"

Ye Su responded.

"Perhaps over a billion seems like a lot, but in reality, in the face of the Zerg and the Sea Race, choosing this path means being naturally suppressed."

"Their population numbers are simply too vast."

"So yours is a special route, right?"

The Executor felt a complex mix of emotions.

He rejoiced at the choice made back then; life truly finds its own way out.

In the end, the Professionals of Great Xia had carved out their own path.

"I feel like this path of yours—"

"Don't just look at the thief eating meat and ignore the thief getting beaten."

Ye Su couldn't help but scratch his head.

The first step of the Ascension Path had exhausted all the dividends.

The other races didn't understand these things and had subconsciously cooperated.

The Wang Clan had treated him as a potential client and lent a casual hand.

If someone wanted to replicate this path...

Even Ye Su himself couldn't think of how to do it.

Other races wouldn't cooperate with you again.

The Wang Clan would be even more likely to gossip and scheme against you from the sidelines.

Furthermore, if others were to walk the Ascension Path, perhaps Great Xia's population could still support geographical advantage and human harmony power.

They would just need to find a way to trick their way into timing.

But if he himself wanted to take the second step...

He feared that even the entire population of Great Xia wouldn't be able to support the geographical advantage and human harmony power.

Holy crap.

It was too absolute.

One walks up happily only to see that the road is full of potholes and several sections are dead-end cliffs— "I won't ask you too much about the details of this path, but I have intelligence to share with you."

As The Executor spoke, someone nearby brought out several satellite cloud maps.

"While technology is still functioning normally, we have been continuously searching the global landmass using satellites."

"And then, we saw these things."

In the satellite images,

Many Light Arrays appeared. Looking at the timestamps,

These Light Arrays were taken away by someone not long after they appeared.

"Are these things the keys to this path, or—"

The Executor asked.

"They are keys,"

Ye Su said.

"However, to prevent other races from walking this path for now, we just need to ignore them."

Now, The Executor understood as well.

"Does that mean if we want more people on our side to walk this path, we also need the cooperation of other races?"

Ye Su looked at him.

The answer was obvious.

And so.

Then... oh boy.

How was this supposed to be played?

Such a powerhouse could only be born if everyone cooperated.

But once such a powerhouse appeared, they might turn around and slaughter you clean.

The entire process was a chain of suspicion.

This path was even more ridiculous than a dead end.

No wonder Ye Su didn't immediately go to settle scores with the Yao Race and Zerg after his success.

Ever since the Light Arrays appeared,

The relationship between all races in the world had suddenly become very subtle.

The Executor was also dazed.

The way he looked at Ye Su was strange.

It was as if scrutiny, admiration, and other emotions were all mixed together.

You really are a Genius, to be able to do this!

"Let's put this aside for now, Executor,"

Ye Su said.

"The real headache right now is the Wang Clan. They aren't some kind of zombies; they are true intelligent lifeforms."

"Furthermore, their influence is extremely vast and extends to the concept of the Universe."

Ye Su told The Executor about the Wang Clan.

The Executor felt like his CPU was about to burn out.

The global situation was already complicated because of the Light Arrays, and now it was even more so.

"timing is the most important wealth."

"Our Blue Star is worth almost nothing, but this continuous mutation can attract many races to come and harvest? Is that the overall gist?"

"Yes!"

"Then who is our enemy?"

"—"

Ye Su pondered... and finally said;

"Whoever affects our survival is the enemy!"

From this complex situation, he found the true thread.

Whether it was Great Xia or Ye Su,

It was this sentence.

Whoever affects our survival is the enemy!

In this way,

Whether it was cooperating with someone or turning against them later, there would be a guiding principle.

"Then—"

The Executor was just about to speak; after all, there was nothing wrong with attacking the Wang Clan, those outsiders.

He prepared to use the last functioning mushrooms to reduce the number of the Wang Clan as much as possible.

But a staff member nearby brought over a new satellite cloud map.

The Executor opened it and was stunned for a moment.

Then he handed it to Ye Su.

Ye Su unfolded it.

Good heavens.

From within a volcanic crater, a golden Black Bird with a wingspan of tens of meters flew out. The light on its body was almost too bright to look at directly.

If one looked closely, they would discover that this bird of prey had three legs.

"The legendary creature, the Three-Legged Golden Crow!!"

Ye Su's eyes lit up.

Holy crap.

It's here, it's really here.

There was no need to worry about the future situation where the sun would go out; there would be a way.

And looking at it now,

Indeed.

The Yao Race had played their trump card.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow was born— Swish.

Ye Su rolled up the cloud map and said;

"Executor, I have one request."

"That is, for our over one billion people, our thoughts must be highly unified."

"This will be very helpful for producing powerhouses in the future."

"Fine!"

Whether it was the Divine Path or Ye Su's current path,

This was what Great Xia needed to achieve.

Without unified thoughts, this race would be like a heap of loose sand.

"So, you're going to leave for a bit?"

"Yes!"

Ye Su nodded.

Golden Crow.

Yao Race.

Heh.

Is it possible that Mountain Lord's days are about to become very difficult?

And so,

It was time to go stir up some trouble.

--- "Truly, you are weak."

In a certain mountain range in the nation of India,

Mountain Lord was being pinned to the ground and rubbed into the dirt.

A Three-Legged Golden Crow chuckled arrogantly.

Indeed.

A Yao Race member like Mountain Lord, who was gradually touching the threshold of the Zhao Yi Realm (the Yao Race's cultivation method was different from humans),

Was indeed not enough to look at in the hands of an Ascension One Great Yao like itself.

"Forget it, you are a member of the Yao Race after all."

The Three-Legged Golden Crow let go of Mountain Lord and spoke flippantly;

"My Yao Race Alliance is considered a Great Clan of the Universe. You, a native, have some talent, so you are barely qualified to be my slave."

Mountain Lord rose.

His eyes were full of fury, as if he were about to pounce and kill in the next second.
