400: War begins

[The Great Clans are fighting their own battles.]

[The Yao Race, meanwhile, is being used by the Great Clans as a pawn to deal with other races in the great war.]

[The Lion Clan is sweeping through everything, and countless races are being dragged into it.]

[After my final review, I discovered that teaming up with the Tiger Clan to take down the Lion Clan is actually the most profitable path!]

[As long as this is achieved, the Yao Race will be unified and become a force in the Universe that cannot be ignored.]

[And as the Yao Race's most reliable ally, the Yanhuang Clan's status will rise accordingly.]

[Now, there is a key operational point: Shan Jun must become the successor of the Yao Race. If Shan Jun is excluded, there won't be much trust to speak of with the Yao Race.]

[Seniors have mentioned this point countless times in their letters; after all, if it's not a Yao from our Blue Star, we can't trust them!]

Ye Su nodded slightly as he read this.

Things were still proceeding according to plan.

Above was the war of the Peak Races.

And below was the great universal war provoked by the Yao Race.

The Lion Clan was on the side of the Peak Races—perhaps they had already started acting like dogs for them—so naturally, they couldn't be trusted.

The Tiger Clan was different.

There was already an agreement in place.

But—after all, they weren't Yao from Blue Star, so they couldn't be fully trusted.

Shan Jun still had to become the successor of the Yao Race.

On this point, Ye Su was confident in his ability to intervene.

After all.

The Tiger Clan wasn't strong right now.

In his current state, the Tiger Clan Ancestor might not even be able to defeat Zhang Huai.

There was no need for coercion.

Just speaking the plain truth would suffice.

For the sake of the overall situation, the Tiger Clan Ancestor would have to prop up Shan Jun.

This wouldn't be hard to manage.

Continuing below:

[Beware of the Golden Crow Clan!]

Hmm?

Ye Su was momentarily stunned when he saw this sentence.

[The Divine Dao is terrifying. The people of the Four Seas Palace haven't defected, but they really can't hold them back anymore.]

[In the Late Stage of lesser heat, the Golden Crow Clan rises powerfully. The combat power of its Divine Dao deities surges straight to Ascension Nine, even trending toward the Sovereign level.]

[The Universe is shocked, and a crusade against the Golden Crow Clan becomes the mainstream sentiment.]

[As for what happened in the end, I don't know. After all, I died.]

[Well, I didn't want to mention the cause of my death, but after reaching Ascension Five, I thought the next step of Order might be the laws of universal operation.]

[So I headed to the edge of the Universe—and well, I was swept to death by a beam of light.]

[I have to say, the edge of the Universe is truly mysterious. Quite a few of us have fallen there.]

[Any region that can compare to Calamity Chaos is extraordinary. Ye Su, don't you dare get cocky; the edge of the Universe is a place you must not go.]

So that's how it was.

Who knows how many versions of himself had fallen at the edge of the Universe.

The Flesh and Blood Mountain Range last time was already shocking enough.

He didn't expect...

There were even greater experts!

It was a death trap for whoever went there, huh.

This riddle likely wouldn't be solved for now; it would have to wait for later.

[Finally, some true core information about the Universe.]

[Ye Su, remember that great cauldron, the Great Xia heavy artifact? In the Universe, some races also have their own heavy artifacts.]

[You remember the Golden Crow Clan's Fusang Tree, right? heavy artifacts aren't exclusive to Great Xia. Each heavy artifact possesses special abilities.]

[During the Yanhuang Clan's process of campaigning and absorbing other races, you must seize their heavy artifacts. Otherwise, they will be growing by sucking our blood.]

[And within the great universal war, there is a world-shaking event.]

[That is, the Tiangong Clan's racial heavy artifact was stolen.]

[On the 13th day of lesser heat—Ye Su, remember this—on the 13th day after lesser heat begins, the Spirit Clan will strike boldly and steal the Tiangong Clan's racial heavy artifact.]

[If you have the chance, try to snatch it.]

[I heard the Tiangong Clan's racial heavy artifact is related to the blood qi flagship. Because the Spirit Clan is wealthy, they were moved to take this risk.]

[The blood qi flagship is no piece of junk; it is truly powerful. This war is enough to prove it. You can see its terror from the fact that the Tiangong Clan remains in its position as a Peak Race even after losing its Sovereign.]

The letter...

Ended there.

This 'Ye Su' was more or less a bit self-reproachful.

Another death caused by reckless wandering.

A stroll to the edge of the Universe, and he was swept to death instantly.

Sigh.

But the information revealed was already plenty.

First, the war.

The Yanhuang Clan and Ye Su couldn't control the war above; they could provoke its start, but its end wasn't up to them.

The real point of profit was the cooperation with the Tiger Clan.

And incidentally, pushing Shan Jun into a certain position.

Next was the news regarding heavy artifacts.

The Tiangong Clan's heavy artifact was actually related to the blood qi flagship.

Speaking of which.

Gong Li and his entire clan, under a massive supply of resources, had already begun refining the blood qi flagship.

But it was very slow.

It wasn't a matter of not having enough people.

It simply couldn't be rushed.

If they had the Tiangong Clan's heavy artifact, they might have a chance.

When the time comes.

By borrowing some people from Lu Yiyi and adding Zhang Huai, he wondered if they could snatch it.

Once snatched, things would be stable.

If they hid the heavy artifact in Calamity Chaos, even if the Tiangong Clan went berserk, they wouldn't be able to reclaim it from there.

As for suspects, it would be hard to suspect the Yanhuang Clan.

Either the Star Spirit Clan or the Spirit Clan would take the fall.

'The content of this letter isn't much, but there are quite a few crises.'

'The war of the Peak Great Clans must be intentionally avoided; otherwise, if the Yanhuang Clan gets clipped by even a stray beam, they'll blow up.'

'Right, let them fight it out above. We'll just rake in the goods below.'

'It's also time for the Yanhuang Clan to develop.'

'As for the Golden Crow side—'

The Divine Dao would develop.

The Golden Crow Clan was actually capable of that.

Even the Four Seas Palace couldn't fool them; I'll contact Fen Tian later to ask about the situation.

Although he might not tell me the truth, I can hear something from his tone.

'Lu Yiyi should be able to maintain an advantage, which will help her influence within the Star Spirit Clan.'

'When the time comes, the Golden Crow Clan's Divine Dao will very likely cause the war of the Peak Great Clans to ease up for a bit.'

'Let's hope they don't actually get carried away and smash the Universe to pieces.'

Ye Su was thinking rapidly.

What he needed to do was rely as much as possible on his foresight to turn reality into a script, pushing it step by step in the direction he envisioned.

Finally.

After listing all the conditions and running them through He Luo, and finding no major issues...

He began to make arrangements.

First, for Great Xia, there would be another large-scale migration of the population.

In a war of this level, the opportunities for promotion were staggeringly numerous.

All the schools and students would go to reap the dividends of war.

Besides that.

There was also the deployment of the Yanhuang Clan.

It was time to be open and honest with the Tiger Clan.

Instant communication with Lu Yiyi also had to be established to keep track of the Great Clan war's movements at all times.

As for the Tiangong Clan's heavy artifact, that would be discussed when the time came.

He feared that if news of it appeared prematurely, it would affect Lu Yiyi's judgment and cause a different historical progression.

And so.

Set out!

---The Universe.

The Boundary Reduction project was proceeding grandly.

The Star Spirit Clan's commissioners grew increasingly humble.

Until.

A notebook was unearthed.

Subsequently.

The Universe was in turmoil.

The Star Spirit Clan's last hope was shattered.

Turning from humble to violent.

They were the first to strike!

The war.

Begins!
