257: Chapter 257 Cultivation Plan! Su Yuan's Top-Tier Imagination!

"Will it take nine thousand seven hundred years at the fastest?"

With his back to the Empress, Su Feng calculated this deal in his mind.

He hadn't expected that the two rigid conditions necessary for a Saint to cross into the Great Emperor Realm were actually [Comprehension of Laws] and [Accumulation of Massive Amounts of Time].

This couldn't be called a coincidence; it could only be described as a track custom-made for him!

Comprehension of Laws? He was born with [Ancient Heavy Pupils]; once he entered seclusion, analyzing those laws of heaven and earth would be as easy as an open-book exam.

As for the "Accumulation of Time" and "Physical Body Remolding" that countless prodigies needed thousands or even tens of thousands of years to polish?

Su Feng looked at the bright [Stored Cultivation: 8,500 Years] on the System panel and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Take Shen Luoyu for example. Now that she has taken the [emperor spirit pill], her Physique has evolved from the Innate Yin-Yang Body into the [Yin-Yang Dao Body]. The System's rating for her has also directly leaped to SS-rank!"

"With her Heaven-Defying 'hundred-out-of-hundred' Physique, getting pregnant rewards five hundred years, and giving birth rewards five hundred years. As long as she gives birth to ten children for me, ten thousand years of cultivation will be in the bag!"

Moreover, it wasn't just Shen Luoyu.

For instance, the freak in Shen Youchu's belly who came with the [True Word Divine Body]; once the time was up, another seven hundred years of cultivation would be credited. Then there were Yunas, Ying Liuli...

Although he didn't know exactly how many years of accumulation a Great Emperor needed to reach Major Achievement.

But as long as it was a competition of cultivation time, Su Feng felt he would definitely win!

Su Feng swore secretly in his heart.

"The Major Thousand Worlds are different from these Three Thousand Upper Realms; there are powerhouses of the Great Emperor Realm presiding there."

"With my current strength, once I become a Saint and ascend, if I happen to encounter a short-tempered Great Emperor or a commander of the Realm Demons, I'm afraid I'd be refined into dross in an instant."

"As for things like the invasion of Realm Demons or the heavy responsibility of saving all life in the Universe—those are things for the Saints and Great Emperors to worry about. Why should I, a newcomer of the Human Race, join the fray?"

"What I should do right now is honestly hunker down at home, use the System well, and crazily accumulate my foundation! Until I've saved up hundreds of thousands or a million years of cultivation, I'm absolutely not coming out of seclusion!"

After figuring out this truth of 'The Simplest Path is the Way of Caution'...

Su Feng simply turned and left the underground palace, handing over the tedious task of guarding the Crystal Coffin entirely to the Empress.

With a flash of his figure, he arrived once again at the top floor of the Shadow Pavilion headquarters.

"Su Yuan."

As soon as he entered the door, Su Feng sat on a chair, his fingers rhythmically tapping the tabletop as he issued instructions in a flat but unquestionable tone:

"Immediately use the influence of the Shadow Pavilion to publicly release a message to the Three Thousand Upper Realms."

"Say that this seat wishes to select ten races from among the myriad races for [Marriage Alliance]. Any race selected can form an Alliance with my Human Race and share the fertile territories of the God Race!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan was first stunned for a moment.

His shrewd eyes rolled a few times as the situational map of the Three Thousand Upper Realms in his mind...

...the undercurrents of various forces, and the current situation of the Human Race instantly began a frantic brainstorm!

After only three seconds.

"Hiss—!"

Su Yuan took a sharp breath of cold air, and the gaze he directed at Su Feng was instantly filled with a shock that bordered on seeing a god!

"Brother Feng! This move... this move is played too damn brilliantly!!!"

Su Yuan slapped the table excitedly, his whole body springing up from the chair.

"Brother Feng, you have no idea! Although our Human Race has now wiped out the Heavenly God Ancestor of the God Race through your efforts alone, appearing infinitely glorious and pressuring the myriad races, in reality, the hidden dangers and the pressure of backlash in the shadows are immense!"

"Those ancient races lurking in the shadows—which one of them isn't envious of us occupying the God Race's resources? They don't dare to act against you openly, but who knows how they're uniting in secret to trip up our Human Race!"

"But this move of Marriage Alliance you've made! It's simply a masterstroke of an open scheme!"

Su Yuan became more excited as he spoke.

"Firstly, we can rightfully win over the strong races among those fence-sitters and completely tie them to the Human Race's war chariot!"

"As the saying goes, no one wakes up early without profit. As long as they ally with us through marriage, they can legally share that massive territory of the God Race. Facing such a heavenly temptation, they will inevitably fight to the death against those hidden hands trying to deal with us just to protect their own vested interests!!"

"Moreover, this greatly relieves the defensive pressure of our Human Race's current lack of manpower! What we lack most right now is time!"

Su Yuan leaned in close to Su Feng, his sharp eyes continuing the analysis:

"Secondly! This move can be said to perfectly divide the already fragile Alliance of the foreign races! There are only ten marriage slots, and too many candidates!"

"Because Brother Feng is here, our Human Race is currently in its prime. As long as the ancestors of those foreign races aren't brain-dead, they will definitely fight tooth and nail for a slot when faced with such a good thing where they can both cling to a powerful thigh and divide territory."

"We only need to casually pick one or two that look pleasing to the eye and let the first races to marry in taste some sweetness and eat a few bites of meat. Seeing this, the other races will surely go completely mad for the remaining slots, even fighting among themselves!"

"When that time comes, our Human Race can sit firmly on the sidelines and watch them fight like dogs. We only need to lie back comfortably, slowly screen those goddesses, and ruthlessly manipulate those arrogant foreign races!"

After Su Yuan finished this long string of political analysis.

He stared at Su Feng sitting in the chair with a fanatical gaze as if looking at a deity, his eyes full of 'prostrate' admiration.

Meanwhile.

Although Su Feng, sitting in the chair, maintained that profound and unfathomable demeanor on the surface.

The corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally twice.

If... just if...

He had only casually made up the 'shared territory' pretext to continue his great cause of 'many children, much blessing' and to farm System rewards.

How the hell could you overthink it this much?!

Vertical and horizontal Alliances? Dividing the myriad races? An open scheme?!

This overthinking ability of yours...

Su Feng forcibly suppressed the urge to complain, coughed twice, and naturally went along with it.

He stood up, patted Su Yuan's shoulder appreciatively, and praised with a deep gaze:

"Very good. Su Yuan, you've been by my side for so long; you've indeed made no small progress. Your analysis just now was able to see through [seventy percent of the intent] of this move of mine."

"I'll leave this matter to you. Hurry up and implement it. Remember, the information on the goddesses sent by those foreign races must undergo strict screening; quality over quantity. Send their information directly to my study."

After Su Feng finished speaking, he turned around dashingly.

However.

Behind him, hearing those words, Su Yuan's originally excited expression instantly froze, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Seventy percent intent?!"

Su Yuan lost his usual frivolousness, and his whole being instantly fell into a brain-burning brainstorm.

"My deduction just now only saw through seventy percent of Brother Feng's profound move?!"

"Then the remaining thirty percent of intent... what on earth is it?!"

Su Yuan only felt his scalp go numb, and his awe for Su Feng rose once again to a terrifying height.

Meanwhile.

Su Feng, who already had one foot in a void rift, saw Su Yuan's look and quickened his pace guiltily, slipping away immediately.

"Remaining thirty percent intent? There isn't a damn thirty percent intent!"

"I just said it casually! Even I don't know what that remaining thirty percent is, so you can just take your time guessing!"
