540: Chapter 540 Differentiation of War Zones

"Sigh, I really do feel a bit sorry for him."

"But there's no helping it. Who told these Transmigrators to be just as troublesome as children of destiny? They are unpredictable, making it hard to give them a good ending."

Lv Yang stood by the hospital window, watching the black wall rising from beyond the horizon.

As someone who lived life taking things as they came, he naturally knew that he would fall into a coma from injuries sustained during his observation.

However, according to his calculations, the benefits of this matter outweighed the harms. That was why he had intentionally watched the explosion and performed calculations while it was happening.

The end result was that his calculations manifested as a dream—a very long dream, far more complex than the simple version he had described to the outsiders.

At that time, inside the room, one person wielded the Law of Love and another wielded the Law of the Heart. Facing two such people, he, with his mortal eyes, naturally couldn't hide anything.

Fortunately, there was a very powerful fellow who was about to attack him in the dream, only to be inadvertently interrupted by Zhou Yan and the others.

Thus, Lv Yang took advantage of the lingering influence to play dumb, successfully fooling them. He only let them know that a major event was about to sweep through the entire Dream City.

In reality, he did nothing during his subsequent calculations; he simply picked and chose specific parts of the dream's content to narrate.

"According to the original outcome, Zhou Yan should have already used the linqin leaf, gained partial authority over these black walls, and started trying to establish a connection with Dream City."

"Then, seven days later, taking advantage of the opening of the Stairway to Divinity, he would once again strike with that same sword strike from Kaifeng. Finally, due to exhaustion, someone else would reap the rewards, and he would perish, his Dao vanishing."

"The same situation cannot be allowed to happen again. It seems I must find a way to get some powerful outside help."

"You ant, to actually believe the words of that false god and do such things... a heretic like you deserves to die!"

A faint voice drifted from the hallway. Following a flash of red light, Li Hua walked out while wiping his longsword.

"Oh, it's Young Miss Lv. Does that mean Brother Ai is here too?"

The white-haired youth, dressed in a hospital gown and holding a blood-colored longsword, looked with pleasant surprise at Lv Yang, who was also in a hospital gown—or more accurately, the gender-swapped female version of Lv Yang.

Seeing the newcomer, a flash of surprise crossed Lv Yang's eyes.

He really hadn't expected to run into him right at the start. This made things much easier.

Inside the Truth Cult base in the sky, everyone had gradually returned to the pristine white conference room.

They gathered together once more, enjoying the second batch of delicacies brought by Lord Canglan.

"This food tastes truly excellent; the Taiyi Sect certainly has great skill." The speaker was Aleph. He no longer had his previous cold demeanor, looking exactly like a kind old man.

"Well said. I see these meat slices are also incredibly fresh and delicious; one must not miss out on tasting them."

Winter had some strange surgical stitches on his body. He had also lost his original decadent aura, his words filled with a longing for the fine food.

The previous cold meeting was a thing of the past. Now, in the entire Truth Cult family, everyone looked much more easygoing—except for Isaac and Xieli, even Florian seemed more approachable.

Seeing this scene, Li Heng sneered inwardly.

As expected, the old methods were still the most effective: flex your muscles and bind their interests, and their attitudes would naturally improve.

After that white giant displayed its strength, the Truth Cult powerhouses, who originally had their own hidden agendas, all shut their mouths and put on friendly expressions.

And after Dream City was completely stripped away, everyone became united. After all, since they had already done it, there was no avoiding the consequences. It was better to cooperate honestly and hear what else this madman had planned.

"That's enough. I've sat in this seat long enough; I'm going back to rest. If there's anything else to say later, just have someone pass the message to me."

Xieli's actions broke the existing atmosphere. Everyone stared blankly as she left.

Coming when things are smooth and leaving when things get rough—what kind of move was this?

Winter was also completely confused, not understanding what she was trying to do, but he still smoothed things over and continued urging everyone to eat.

Aleph and the others were only forcing smiles because of Li Heng's current martial might.

But Winter was different. Regardless of whether that intruder belonged to Li Heng or not, he had truly been hacked into pieces.

This current body had been assembled with Li Heng's help. God knows if the man had left any hidden traps inside him. The moment he became fragments, he had automatically withdrawn from this game.

Xieli's departure changed nothing. The group continued their idle chatter until Li Heng coughed lightly several times.

"Everyone, you should have heard the words I spoke earlier in Dream City."

"Most of those words were just nonsense I made up and aren't very important. But one thing is true: their strength will grow through combat."

"By then, even if some people are skeptical, after they have actually fought and gained power, they will all trust it—or be forced to trust it."

"Under this cross, every battle will be remembered by it and transformed into the power to activate Sui."

"However, just having them isn't enough, so we have specially prepared some small props."

Li Heng snapped his fingers, and an interface appeared behind him.

"Our special consultant, Mr. Ma Hao, has used some special methods to revive experts from long ago and very, very long ago."

"The experts from that era don't have much goodwill toward the people of this world. They will take the lead in starting a brutal slaughter."

"Through this, we will accelerate our progress."

At this point, Li Heng's expression changed from a smile to one of bitterness.

"But unfortunately, when the base was attacked by that group of thugs, some of these fellows escaped. They have likely blended into the city and are probably out of control."

"Now that the high walls have risen, these original experts might be unevenly distributed, which could easily affect the final outcome."

"As for the remaining reserves, while they are controllable, their strength is insufficient to manipulate the battlefield."

"After all, the plan was too rushed. Many friends from the Six Sects weren't able to leave, so we naturally still need to exercise some control."

"Therefore, I hope you all can take action and personally control these experts to actively intervene in the process. I assume no one will object?"

This time, there were no voices of opposition. Everyone reached a tacit agreement.

Then, under everyone's witness, Li Heng pulled out a large handful of golden leaves and distributed one to everyone except for Lord Canglan's group.

Without saying much, everyone proceeded to refine them.

In this way, the four war zones were divided.

The Eastern War Zone, the sphere of influence for the Lianxing Pavilion and the Truth Cult. Managed by Kong Xuan, Xieli, and Florian.

The Northern War Zone, the sphere of influence for the Lianxing Pavilion and the Joyous Union Sect. Managed by Cen Xiu, Isaac, and Yun Mingtian.

The Western War Zone, the sphere of influence for the Joyous Union Sect and the Miechen Sect. Managed by Aleph and Jiang Liu.

The Southern War Zone, the sphere of influence for the Miechen Sect and the Truth Cult. Managed by Winter and Su Yao.

Over the next seven days, they would wear the silhouettes of ancient Cultivators and head to various regions to push the agenda forward.

The goal was to select the most outstanding individuals seven days later to complete the activation of Sui.

Seeing the plan proceeding so smoothly, Li Heng felt a bit bored for a moment. Many of the words he had prepared couldn't be said, so he stopped acting altogether and simply began talking to himself.

"You don't need to worry either. This plan was assisted by a secret weapon our special consultant specifically requested from the Truth Cult."

"The conquest knight, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is here to help."

"That's right, this Rider has already been completed, and His authority is Victory itself. Therefore, our plan is destined to succeed."

"If you don't find it bad luck, we could actually open the champagne early."

"After all, whether it's this being's authority or power, I can't imagine how we could lose."

While things were going well on one side, they were quite different on the other. Li Heng had completely mastered the rhythm of the plan, but far away, King Dong was in a miserable state.

"What?"

"You're saying we've lost contact with Dream City?"

King Dong sat in his chair, completely stunned, looking at the information sent back by his subordinates in disbelief.

He was currently busy fooling his superiors and had been delaying taking action against the Conquest Vessel Wang Yao and the War Vessel Xiao Sheng.

He had only been thinking about creating a few clones to settle the matter.

But things were different now. Losing contact with Dream City proved that Li Heng must have done something earth-shattering.

No matter what, he was still connected to that plan. Once that idiot messed everything up and he himself failed to execute his part of the plan properly, he would be finished!

"Quickly contact Mr. Arthur! Tell him I want to see him!" King Dong roared anxiously.

"No need. I'm already here."

Not long after King Dong finished speaking, Arthur walked out from the corridor, looking at King Dong with a smile on his face.
