251: Snake people change their formation

The high-ranking members of the Snake-Human Clan gathered, and the Royal Palace, usually bustling, was now so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"My beloved ministers, how shall we handle the next few matches?" Diana asked.

The hall was silent.

Even after Princess Sophia's power burst, she could barely contend with a formidable Star River Peak expert, yet she lasted less than ten minutes against Lin Ye.

To be precise, it was only one strike.

After a long pause, a minister tentatively said, "Your Majesty, why don't we just let him have the territory?"

These words expressed everyone's inner thoughts.

There was no stopping him; even the warrior arranged for the tenth position had admitted he was far inferior, let alone the others.

Moreover, this was only the strength Lin Ye had displayed so far; only Lin Ye himself knew how many trump cards he was hiding.

"Do you all think so too?" Diana asked.

The ministers, emboldened, began to agree.

Diana remained outwardly calm, but inwardly, she sighed; she knew all too well that the Snake-Human Clan was destined to lose.

Let alone the tenth warrior, even if she personally stepped in, she wouldn't have much confidence.

Unless she used the Snake-Human Clan's divine artifact.

But that would change the nature of things.

"Perhaps we should change our approach. We were reluctant initially because he was too young and weak, but now that he has demonstrated his talent and strength, why wouldn't we be happy to have such a promising genius govern a territory?" A minister offered a different perspective.

The ministers' eyes lit up. "That's right, it's about perspective, it's about perspective! This isn't a zero-sum game; it's a win-win!"

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is right; if we look at it from a different angle, this might not be a bad thing at all."

"Exactly, exactly! Having a powerful territorial governor is also a good thing."

"And it's said that Lin Ye is absorbed in cultivation, so he won't cause us any trouble."

Once their minds opened up, the problems vanished.

The reason everyone had initially resisted, besides not needing a territorial governor for protection, was because being their own local emperor felt better. Having a powerful authority figure above them, even if he didn't micromanage their development, would still be uncomfortable.

But now, since resistance was futile, they might as well enjoy it. From a different perspective, this matter instantly turned into a good thing!

"Moreover, judging by Lin Ye's momentum, he is bound to become a Dominator. When he becomes a Dominator, wouldn't we, who are closely connected to him, also rise in status?"

When one minister brought up this point, everyone else's eyes gleamed even brighter.

Diana watched the changes in the court and felt quite speechless, but she also felt that what her ministers said indeed made sense.

"Alright, then we will change our strategy."

.........

Lin Ye returned to the guesthouse and found that the Snake-Human Clan ladies attending him had increased in number, improved in quality, and most importantly, their attitude had greatly improved.

Initially, the Snake-Human Clan attendants were professional, smiling but with a distant demeanor.

And now.....

Lin Ye thought of a certain creature: a bootlicker.

"Lord Lin Ye, would you like to taste our Snake-Human Clan's delicacies? We have specialties from all tribes, you know."

"Lord Lin Ye, this is the best beast milk of our Snake-Human Clan, I'll feed it to you."

"Lord Lin Ye, do you require essential oil massage services?"

"Lord Lin Ye....."

Lin Ye admitted that no official could withstand such a test, but with his firm willpower, he still refused the service of the Snake-Human Clan lady who wanted to take advantage of him, only accepting some food, drink, and entertainment.

The change in the Snake-Human Clan's attitude was also reflected in the battles. In the subsequent fights, Lin Ye felt they were even weaker than Princess Sophia.

It wasn't until the tenth match that there was a slight change.

The strongest warrior of the Snake-Human Clan army, the War God Kash.

As a matriarchal society, for a male Snake-Human War God to emerge, it sufficiently demonstrated his genius.

Kash's strength was extremely formidable; he even forced Lin Ye to use his ultimate move, Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.

Just then, Lin Ye's body began to rapidly expand, transforming in the blink of an eye into a giant three thousand meters tall! His physique was as majestic and magnificent as a mountain, every muscle filled with endless power, inspiring awe.

Everyone present, witnessing this scene, was profoundly shaken.

"What a magnificent body! Is this the ultimate power of body breaking its limits?" Someone murmured, their eyes filled with reverence.

"Such a huge body, won't it break?" Another person asked worriedly.

"Upstairs, you perverted fujoshi, go to hell!" Someone couldn't help but curse.

At this moment, Kash, facing such an incredible Lin Ye, also felt an irresistible fear surge within him. He knew he had no chance of winning and quickly conceded defeat.

When Lin Ye defeated his final opponent, the entire universe erupted! People on countless planets burst into thunderous cheers.

They had witnessed, with their own eyes, the rise of a true genius, the unfolding of a legend.

The Snake-Human Clan, abandoning their initial rejection, became extremely enthusiastic, showering Lin Ye with warmth and concern.

And Lin Ye's residence was also voluntarily taken over by them for its construction.

"You brat, you actually hid so much strength."

Within the Galaxy Realm, the Galaxy Lord looked at his disciple with a complex expression.

At this moment, Lin Ye's main body was beside him, handling some matters.

After his residence was completed, he would leave the Galaxy Realm.

"Teacher, aren't you afraid of being assassinated?" Lin Ye scratched his head, thinking to himself that he had hidden far more than just this.

According to his current combat power, let alone a Stellar River Level expert, even a Faith God without a divine artifact would be slaughtered by him.

It was a pity there was no god to verify it for him; he also had no bottom line regarding his current strength.

For an ordinary Stellar River Level expert, reaching one hundred times the combat power of a Star River Peak expert was already a super genius, a dragon among men, extremely rare in the world. For example, Kash, who reached ten times the combat power of a Star River Peak expert, became the War God of the Snake-Human Clan.

Those who could reach one hundred times must have deeply cultivated in a certain realm.

For example, king-level geniuses, or the tenth-level body-breaking limit method, or super-limit Stellar River Level, etc.

"Hiding your strength is good; this way, I can also rest assured. But you don't need to be too cautious; within the Galaxy, no one dares to touch you." The Galaxy Lord smiled and nodded.

This time, Lin Ye had given him a huge surprise and earned him a lot of face.

Lin Ye nodded, feeling touched. At the same time, he also felt that he seemed to have been overly cautious. With the Galaxy Lord as his backing, even if he exposed himself, what could happen?

"What are your plans next?" The Galaxy Lord inquired.

"Teacher, I plan to go to Ophiuchus to cultivate. It is said that the star realm in the Ophiuchus area has many resources." Lin Ye said.

"Since you already have plans, I won't ask any more questions. This is a small gift from your teacher." The Galaxy Lord patted him.

"I know you're cautious, so I specially sealed a phantom of my power for you. It can withstand an hour of a Dominator's attack in a crisis." The Galaxy Lord said.

Lin Ye was overjoyed; this gift perfectly suited his wishes. "Thank you, Teacher."

After Lin Ye left, the Galaxy Lord looked at his retreating figure, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Oh, right, I also need to collect my bets." Lin Ye almost forgot about this.

This was a fortune worth a hundred times his net worth. This bet also greatly reduced his future resource pressure.

The bookmaker also dared not renege on him; his status was there.

"So satisfying!"
