442: Opportunity

To fight against six Immortal-level Cosmic Beasts simultaneously, even if they were all at the end of their ropes, Lin Tianwei would never do such a foolish thing.

After all, he was currently only a Cosmic Beast at the seventh rank of Cosmic Level.

Therefore, Lin Tianwei's only choice was to intervene and help one of the two major factions.

Lin Tianwei might just be a butterfly, but facing this balance that had lasted for tens of millions of years, Lin Tianwei only needed to slightly flap his wings to cause incalculable consequences.

Who to help?

Lin Tianwei's brain began to churn rapidly, thinking about how to maximize his own interests.

Being a bit of a saint, helping the Xia Luba Clan might be the best choice.

After all, they were the innocent invaded, and Halin was the detestable invader.

However, Lin Tianwei, who had ventured alone into the universe, had long since abandoned meaningless compassion; self-interest was the only thing he should consider.

What's more, the law of the jungle was inherently a universal rule; in a sense, Halin's actions were not wrong.

Who could resist not preying on defenseless, plump, and juicy good neighbors?

At least when Lin Tianwei was a Siberian Tiger, he never hesitated to prey on his plump good neighbors.

Horned Deer? Roe deer? Goat? ...Lin Tianwei truly devoured them without a sound, and after one, he wanted a second.

Thus, for Lin Tianwei, both sides were completely equal, and choosing to help Halin was actually the best option.

After all, for Lin Tianwei, he could barely be considered half a Zebra Clan member, and helping Halin was far safer than helping the Xia Luba Clan.

Of course, considering the different personalities of both sides, this safety factor wasn't that high.

Filiche was already an exiled, unfavored Zebra Clan member; how could he have much rapport with Halin, who had lived for an unknown number of years?

After much deliberation, Lin Tianwei finally decided to help Halin.

However, he also made two preparations: at the necessary moment, eliminating Halin was also a good option.

That's right, eliminating him.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Tianwei naturally wouldn't entertain such an outrageous idea as eliminating an Immortal-level powerhouse.

But considering that Halin was already at the end of his rope, even with his help, he would barely break the balance between the six Cosmic Beasts.

To achieve victory, he would absolutely have to pay a huge price.

At that time, Halin, having exhausted all his trump cards, would be terrifyingly weak.

Coupled with Lin Tianwei's deceptive Cosmic Level seventh-rank strength, Halin would not be too wary of him.

The right time, the right place, and the right people.

Eliminating an Immortal-level powerhouse didn't seem like a difficult task for Lin Tianwei.

He only hoped Halin would be honest; otherwise, Lin Tianwei wouldn't mind performing an act against heaven, killing an Immortal to prove his strength.

With a plan in mind, what Lin Tianwei needed to do was to execute his plan thoroughly.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly used his Talent: Beast Transformation (Supernatural), transforming into Filiche's appearance.

Having fully acquired Filiche's knowledge, Lin Tianwei wasn't afraid of being exposed.

Of course, even if he was exposed, Lin Tianwei wasn't afraid; it would just be a little more troublesome.

Most importantly, Lin Tianwei believed that even if Halin discovered the truth, he wouldn't be so foolish as to expose him.

He was the only turning point in this evenly matched battle; how could he be so foolish as to push himself into the enemy's embrace?

The initiative was now in Lin Tianwei's hands, not with Halin and the five Immortal-level members of the Xia Luba Clan.

Unless they were not afraid of death, they would only try their best to curry favor with Lin Tianwei.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei no longer hesitated and strode forward.

As Lin Tianwei got closer to the battle circle of the six Immortals, the pressure he felt grew stronger and stronger.

Left with no choice, he released more power from his Beast King Domain to resist the terrifying pressure before him.

Even so, Lin Tianwei barely reached the edge of the battle circle, unable to advance further.

Almost the instant Lin Tianwei arrived, five thoughts were instantly transmitted.

"Little friend, you've come just in time."

"The one fighting us is a super arch-demon of the Zebra Clan, wantonly slaughtering various living beings in the universe. We have barely managed to trap him here."

"Quickly help us win this battle, and we will naturally present you with a generous gift."

The moment Lin Tianwei reached the edge of the battle circle, the six Cosmic Beasts indeed became agitated, extending olive branches to Lin Tianwei.

Lin Tianwei's ability to stand there proved that he was fully qualified to intervene in this war, and it was highly likely he would become the key to deciding victory or defeat.

They had ignored Lin Tianwei before only because they believed that Lin Tianwei, with his Cosmic Level seventh-rank strength, was not qualified to intervene in this battle.

Is it over? Just like that?

These five Cosmic Beasts of the Xia Luba Clan didn't even bother to make empty promises to Lin Tianwei, only saying that a generous gift would be presented at that time.

Did they think that merely saying the opponent was an arch-demon would be enough to morally blackmail him into helping them?

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei looked at Halin with interest, awaiting the olive branch from this Zebra Clan powerhouse.

Facing the Xia Luba Clan powerhouses' initial overtures, Halin showed considerable disdain, saying:

"Arch-demon? You really know how to flatter yourselves, packaging yourselves as super benevolent beasts to deceive unsuspecting Cosmic Beasts."

"Your Zebra Clan is also notorious in the universe; otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to act."

"Kid, I see you are also a prodigious Talent."

"To comprehend and release a Domain at this strength level is worthy of the word 'genius,' even in our era."

"I don't have other things now, and I can't give them to you."

"After all, this battle has lasted for tens of millions of years."

"However, if you choose to help me, I can tell you the method to achieve Immortality."

"I believe this is something that will attract you more than any treasure."

It must be said, Halin was more practical, directly offering Lin Tianwei what he desired most.

The method to achieve Immortality, no Cosmic Beast not powerful enough would refuse it.

Especially for a Cosmic Beast like Lin Tianwei, who had already comprehended a Domain, the method to achieve Immortality was the most precious thing.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei spoke: "The conditions senior offered are very fair, but I wonder how I can help senior win this battle?"

Perhaps hearing Lin Tianwei's clearly biased words, the five Cosmic Beasts of the Xia Luba Clan also grew anxious, saying in unison:

"We can also provide you with the method to achieve Immortality."

"Not only that, we have five Cosmic Beasts here, which also means there are five methods to achieve Immortality."

"In terms of value, it far exceeds the price offered by the arch-demon."

However, no sooner had the five finished speaking than Halin spoke again: "Hmph, you really talk a better game than you play."

"Five kinds? If your five trash methods to achieve Immortality were really that effective, you wouldn't be losing five against one against me."

"It's better to master one than to learn many."

"My method to achieve Immortality will only be stronger than their five trash methods to achieve Immortality."

"Trust me, choosing to help me is the best option."

"As for how to help, it's very simple: you just need to attack any one of their Cosmic Beasts."

"At that time, I will naturally act and cooperate with you to wipe out these five useless creatures in one fell swoop."

Before Lin Tianwei could speak, another furious roar echoed across the sky, saying: "You're full of nonsense."

"Regarding methods to achieve Immortality, which of our five Cosmic Beasts is inferior to you?"

"You've only lived a few more years than us and are a few ranks stronger; otherwise, you wouldn't be our opponent at all."

"Five against one, even a fool knows how to choose."

"After all, even if we give you methods to achieve Immortality, you might not be able to use them."

"More methods to achieve Immortality are more valuable, allowing you to forge a unique path to Immortality of your own."

"The way to help us is simple, just as the old geezer said."

"You just need to attack him, and we will naturally cooperate with you to eliminate this arch-demon."

Halin: "You're the one full of nonsense."

"Isn't it obvious who is stronger and who is weaker?"

"Help me, obtain my powerful method to achieve Immortality; it will definitely help you quickly embark on a path to Immortality."

One word after another, the two sides actually started arguing.

They all used the most exquisite rhetoric to belittle their opponents and elevate themselves, all to get Lin Tianwei to agree to help them.

However, listening to the trash talk of the six Cosmic Beasts, Lin Tianwei's expression gradually became solemn.

Sure enough, none of these six Cosmic Beasts were good creatures.

To ask him to attack any one side, rashly intervening in a battle that had already become a mutual stalemate, what was the difference between that and asking him to commit suicide?

At that time, he would simultaneously endure the attacks of six Cosmic Beasts, instantly perishing.

Of course, they were also right.

His attack could indeed break the balance, giving the other side a huge advantage.

Unfortunately, this was a plan to be executed at the cost of Lin Tianwei's life.

No wonder they offered such generous stakes.

After all, empty promises are never honored, and even filling them with large numbers is meaningless.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei's gaze towards them gradually became dangerous.

Since they intended to scheme against him, then they shouldn't blame him for scheming against them.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei slowly spoke: "You each have your own arguments, and I cannot judge whose method to achieve Immortality is stronger."

"How about this, you directly tell me your methods to achieve Immortality, so I can choose carefully."

"At that time, I will naturally help the Cosmic Beast with the better method."

"Of course, if you refuse, I have no objection; then I naturally cannot help any of you escape this eternal cage."

"I will only seek out truly powerful Cosmic Beasts to help you."

"I believe they will definitely be interested in six Cosmic Beasts who are at the end of their ropes."

Threat, this was absolutely a naked threat.

All six Cosmic Beasts heard the threat in Lin Tianwei's words.

Give it?

To give his method to achieve Immortality to a mere Cosmic Level Cosmic Beast, and then be judged and criticized by him?

What was the difference between that and killing them?

However, they couldn't not give it; they had to give it.

If you don't give it, your enemy gives it, and this scoundrel helps the enemy, you will die without a burial place.

If you don't give it, and your enemy doesn't give it, this scoundrel will directly leave this secret realm and sell all six of them for a super good price.

At that time, their fate would be imaginable.

A fierce glint flashed in Halin's eyes; he secretly thought Lin Tianwei was truly unappreciative.

Since that was the case, he shouldn't blame himself for being ruthless.

Arch-demon?

Although I don't consider myself an arch-demon, I am not someone who can be manipulated by a mere Cosmic Beast at the seventh rank of Cosmic Level.

Provoke me, and death will be your only destination.

Slightly raising his head, Halin indeed saw the same expression on the faces of the five Cosmic Beasts opposite him.

As old rivals who had fought for countless years, they had a rare agreement on one matter this time: to completely eliminate Lin Tianwei.

They would rather continue to be deadlocked here, continuing to fight by their own abilities, than be manipulated by Lin Tianwei.

This was their dignity as Immortal-level powerhouses.

As for the method of action, it was very simple.

Didn't Lin Tianwei want their methods to achieve Immortality?

Then, while imparting the method to Lin Tianwei, a slight overexertion of force, directly bursting the opponent's brain, was also a very reasonable thing.

If it was just mental transmission, it wouldn't disrupt the balance that the six Cosmic Beasts had maintained for tens of millions of years.

This was also why they had the leisure to negotiate with Lin Tianwei.

How immense was the power of an Immortal-level powerhouse? Doing such a small thing was effortless for them.

Thinking this, Tello, the leader of the Xia Luba Clan chief, spoke: "What you said is indeed very reasonable."

"To show sincerity, how about I go first and tell you my method to achieve Immortality."

"Open your mind, do not resist."

"Otherwise, you are very likely to collapse from being unable to withstand my powerful Mental Power."

Open your mind, do not resist? Do you think I'm a fool?

Lin Tianwei never underestimated the malice of unfamiliar Cosmic Beasts towards him, so he naturally wouldn't do something as foolish as opening his mind.

Otherwise, if the other party really did something to him, he would truly have no way to resist.

After all, he would have actively opened his mind, like opening the door to a thief, actively inviting Tello, this hungry wolf, in.

Talent: Super Brain (Supernatural)!

Talent upgraded, Talent: Super Brain (Supernatural) → Talent: Super Brain (King)!

Almost instantly, Lin Tianwei had already completed the upgrade of his Super Brain Talent, upgrading it to a King-level Talent.

His own consciousness certainly couldn't be opened, but Super Brain's consciousness could.

With Super Brain's filtering, Lin Tianwei's consciousness would be in an absolutely safe state.

After preparing, Lin Tianwei directly said: "Come on, please begin your performance." (End of chapter)
