263: Sihai Palace

Over in Western Europe, a large number of life forms gathered.

Including humans, Insectoids, the Sea Clan, and the Spirit Clan.

They are not following the same path as Great Xia.

It should be the influence of the Origin historical consciousness.

Great Xia emphasizes fixing the sky if it leaks and saving themselves from floods—while they yearn for a Savior to bear all burdens, requiring only their devout faith in return.

The appearance of Jinwu, along with this Divine Path of Faith, perfectly aligns with their chosen route.

What are they relying on?

Just kneel down and hand it over to the Lord.

Ye Su roughly understood the mindset of those people in Western Europe ever since the beginning of the Great Sun Divine Sect.

After the first wave of war during Grain Rain.

Great Xia actually had the power to completely suppress them all.

Led by Ye Su and the Ascenders, they could have killed them until they were completely routed.

But the strange thing is.

Neither Ye Su nor the Authorities ever brought up this issue, even intentionally avoiding it.

Thinking about it.

It was all for this moment.

As long as these people remain, if Jinwu truly wants to forge a path, they are the bargaining chip.

Just like right now.

Ye Su easily met the Merfolk King.

Mm.

He has evolved more completely.

It should be related to being an Ascender.

The current Merfolk King is transforming more towards a human appearance; he has even lost his original fish tail.

In its place was the appearance of an incredibly handsome, almost ethereal beautiful man.

Moreover, its entire body radiated divine glory, possessing a noble temperament.

"So, you really plan on siding with Jinwu!"

Ye Su said.

The Merfolk King smiled without speaking, but some of the Merfolk behind him seemed possessed, actually glaring angrily at Ye Su.

"Oh, you dare glare at me!"

"I was the one who nailed Jinwu to the sky. In front of me, drop your act, or you won't get away with it."

At this moment, the Merfolk King had no choice but to speak up.

He sent the people behind him away and said helplessly:

"He said we were needed to help you. So, is your idea of help allowing you to humiliate us to your heart's content?"

"Not necessarily. I just don't know if you're serious or just pretending to cooperate," Ye Su said, spreading his hands.

"Divine Path? Try confronting the Seven Great Apex Races head-on after entering the Cosmos?"

"Stop kidding around."

"But at least we can survive until we enter the Cosmos, can't we?"

"F*ck! I don't like hearing that. What do you mean? Are you treating Great Xia like a scapegoat?"

"Evasion is also a choice."

"You speak shameless words with such self-righteousness. Fine, send some people to work. It's an equivalent exchange; do something for us, consider it rent for your survival on Blue Star."

Ye Su said.

These fellows no longer possessed the ambition to swallow the world whole, like they did initially.

They probably lost all their fighting spirit after being hit by the Wang Clan.

After learning about the Wang Clan, Ghost Clan, and even the Peak races of the Cosmos, they completely gave up.

Effort is meaningless.

After the Anomaly, there's basically no way out.

Faith.

It ultimately became the Fentanyl they needed most right now!

"Alright," the Merfolk King said.

"How do you need us to help you."

Ye Su thought for a moment.

"First, Great Xia will send Exploration Teams and Research Teams to the site. Have the Sea Clan assist them and meet their requirements."

"Next, prepare a group of Strong Individuals. You'll come fight with me in a couple of days."

"Oh, right, you specialize in Sorcery. I have one request: pour out the water of the Three Mountains and Four Seas—"

The Merfolk King was completely stunned.

That's right.

Jinwu told us to help you.

But you come here and immediately raid our home?

Is this appropriate?

Satisfying your Exploration Teams and researchers is a small matter.

But taking people to fight, and pouring out the water of the Three Mountains and Four Seas—damn.

Listen to what you're saying!

Seeing the Merfolk King's eyes bulge out, Ye Su realized the other party had misunderstood.

"I mean, prepare large-scale Sorcery, go to the Ice Giant Star and perform large-scale Water-element Spells. 'Three Mountains and Four Seas'... can you understand that it's an adjective?"

"Didn't the Four Seas Palace provide you with basic education?"

Merfolk King: (⊙o⊙)...—Understood.

Basically, the Merfolk King wouldn't refuse. It was unclear if Jinwu was extremely effective at brainwashing.

These people have basically taken the shape of Jinwu followers.

Ye Su then discussed the detailed issues with them.

During this process, there was a small interlude.

That is, the people from the Four Seas Palace.

Uh...

How should I put it?

I can only say these people are experienced in running Cults.

Things like unified uniforms, Doctrines, Slogans, and various absurd yet reasonable Departments.

Everything was orderly and quite substantial in scale.

And they completely astonished the Merfolk.

Previously, those Blood Jiao paid no attention to the Four Seas Palace.

Now, the Blood Jiao, under the title of Guardian Divine Beast, serve as mounts for the Four Seas Palace every day.

And they are even immersed in it—Great Xia already holds the absolute advantage on Blue Star. Ye Su figured that since these people hadn't returned, they must be planning something.

Now it seems.

They have great potential.

I have to say, Great Xia has many talents; there are Geniuses in every field.

If Jinwu manages to survive after the Anomaly ends, who knows what this Divine Church will develop into.

Right now, the relationship between Great Xia and the Four Seas Palace can't be described as infiltration or Suzerain State, nor can it be said that their Daos diverge so they cannot plan together.

It's more like a unique branch evolution.

Forget it.

Let's respect it.

—The Sea Clan side was settled quickly.

Ye Su casually went to take a look at Western Europe.

Western Europe is completely transformed now.

Once Religion takes root, the speed of consolidation is terrifying.

The entire style of Western Europe was refreshed.

The religious atmosphere was extremely dense.

Moreover, Jinwu has become integrated into people's hearts, and even the peace of Blue Star is attributed to Jinwu's merit.

The brainwashing was explosive—but thinking about it, years of High Welfare had long turned these fellows into useless products, so this development is normal.

"So, why are you here?"

Helen stood in front of Ye Su and asked with an unfriendly expression.

"Speak to me properly, or I'll get angry and slaughter all of you."

Ye Su reached out and pushed her aside, saying.

Helen was stunned; the power system of the Ascenders sobered her up.

Great Xia is a Land of Courtesy.

But Ye Su is not!

He is a Bandit and a Ruffian, a guy who advocates violence. How much courtesy do you expect from him?

"Did Jinwu tell you?"

Ye Su continued.

"Although I think if I brought you to the battlefield, you'd only mess things up, it seems you still have some use for now."

"For example—"

Ye Su pointed to the center of a plaza, where a large cluster of Crystal Stones had burst forth.

"Blue Star has been generous to you, but isn't this the wealth of all humanity?"

"Therefore, Great Xia's Scientific Research and Exploration Teams will enter your Western Europe."

"Your organization... um... Church or whatever, organize people to protect them and provide necessary assistance."

"No problem, right?"

After speaking, Ye Su looked at Helen.

Helen gritted her teeth and could only reply:

"No problem!"
