Li Xianglong wanted to discuss security matters during the President’s delegation visit.
“We have received accurate information that remnants of the Divine Illumination Association along with some pirates who collude with the Three Gods of Purgatory are planning an attack on Mr. President’s delegation to sabotage the peace talks. I hope to obtain authorization from Mr. President to allow the deployment of starship troops to preemptively strike these forces, disrupting their plans. In addition, I request permission for the Security Bureau to augment personnel to strengthen the delegation’s defense, which requires coordination with the Special Service Bureau.”
“Your request is very reasonable. I will have James issue the authorization document to you shortly.”
The President nodded solemnly; he would not take his own security lightly.
Then, expectantly, the President inquired, “Director Li, you must be aware, right? The actual negotiator for the Great Song in this round of talks is Lin Hao with King Yama’s Blade. Currently, my advisors believe that if we do not make significant concessions, the possibility of successful negotiations is quite low. Supercomputing projections show success rate of even less than 4%, but I do not wish to make too many concessions on the overall interests of humanity. Do you have any intelligence or methods from the Security Bureau that can increase our chances of success?”
Li Xianglong pondered, thinking that the supercomputing models employed by the President’s office predicted such low probabilities.
At the Security Bureau, it’s 93%.
But that’s also correct, given that the President’s office lacks the most critical intelligence.
Li Xianglong contemplated briefly and still decided to offer the President some reassurance: “I think there’s no need to be so pessimistic. I have also studied Lin Hao somewhat. He is indeed very incorruptible and steadfast, unshakeable, and immune to corruption. But as long as we adopt the right strategies, Lin Hao may not necessarily become an obstacle for us.”
“Oh?” The President’s expression turned curious, leaning forward, “What kind of strategy? Director Li, please explain!”
“People cannot be without desires,” Li Xianglong smiled. “Lin Hao’s incorruptibility, his relentless pursuit against the Alien Walkers, may stem from him having different desires. This man has grand ambitions, hard to measure. All we need to do is figure out what he desires most right now, then we’ll know what to do.”
The President squinted his eyes, deep in thought.
The Chief of Staff also rubbed his chin, his eyes reflecting peculiar zeal.
He thought that what Lin Hao most wanted right now must be to swiftly enhance his Cultivation.
In addition, it would be the trust from the Great Celestial Master of East Abyss and East Continent, as well as the two tasks in his hands— the fragments of the Divine Tablet and Longevity Association!

When Xianyu Yan awakened, she found herself lying in a cylindrical crystal box.
The crystal box was set vertically, surrounded by a dozen extremely agile mechanical arms, fiddling inside the flesh on her chest.
‘Lin Hao’ was outside. He was wearing ear covers, humming a song while performing surgery on her, utterly relaxed.
“What is this now?” Xianyu Yan, while sensing the interior of her body, asked with immense curiosity.
The crystal box was filled with thick, transparent liquid, but naturally, Xianyu Yan had a way to speak.
She controlled the ether and air outside with her True Yuan, producing sounds like human vocal cords.
Then, with a sudden exclamation of surprise, a hint of joy appeared on her beautiful face. “Is this? You have implanted two armaments in me? Really ‘Phase Sky Transformation’ and ‘Mutability Saint Mark’, and the Divine Bans, you really did it?”
She had taken a starship of Heavenly Demon along with Lin Rui to this Heavenly Demon base located deep in Four Stripes Mountain, where Lin Rui injected her several times with medicine.
After that, everything went black, and she completely passed out.
‘Phase Sky Transformation’ and ‘Mutability Saint Mark’ were the Bloodline Talents she most desired! Once awakened, she would possess the complete Sacred Body of ‘Mutability Saint Mark’, achieving completion at the Emperor Rank.
Martial Cultivators of the Sky Extreme Star can only constrain the direction of awakening of Bloodline Ability by the Martial Arts they cultivate, but it is not as if you can have whatever you want; it also requires certain luck.
Even those scions who have ancestral blessings and complete Sacred Bodies to inherit often awaken some useless abilities.
And it’s not just these two armaments equivalent to the Super Monarch talents; Xianyu Yan discovered that her physical strength, power, soul, and Blood Qi have indeed all been enhanced.
Even excluding these two armaments, Xianyu Yan felt her combat power was now approximately 30% stronger than before.
More importantly, Xianyu Yan felt some subtle changes had occurred in the Divine Bans inside her.
She found that its connection with her Divine Soul was no longer as close as before.
“Of course, it’s a surgery,” Lin Rui casually replied. “Next is the final Super Monarch Armament ‘Celestial Divine Veins,’ but this armament is a bit troublesome; the surgery must be done while you are awake.”
This is an extremely powerful talent. ‘Celestial Divine Veins’ would grant one exceedingly strong neural responsive capabilities, equivalent to installing fiber optics inside the body, also greatly increasing the upper limit of spiritual power.
This talent is even more formidable due to its superior long-range combat abilities, shock resistance, and flesh aggregation abilities.
The ‘Heavenly Silk Bloodline’ of the Eight Realms not only can connect to any region within 50 kilometers at will, transmitting strength over, but it is also said to connect severed spatial-temporal sequences.
This ability can also aggregate flesh; even if the body is sliced into hundreds of pieces, it can still seamlessly reconnect, which is quite twisted.
However, the surgery process is indeed troublesome; he must replace all of Xianyu Yan’s full set of nerves and meridians, each replacement must be connected and mastered by Xianyu Yan’s own spiritual power.
“Is this what is referred to as a Heavenly Demon Armament and Heavenly Demon Medicine?”
Xianyu Yan sighed, “Indeed, it is miraculous and extraordinary. The Crown Prince actually also wanted to explore these items of Heavenly Demons, but unfortunately, he was closely watched at the time and didn’t have your kind of luck to have someone like the Divine Envoy of Luo assisting him, so he eventually gave up.”
“Isn’t there the Emperor?” Lin Rui asked with a nonchalant expression, “They share the same bloodline, a father-son connection, their relationship should be more reliable than between me and Teacher Luo, right?”
Xianyu Yan’s expression turned cold, “Then you are mistaken, the one who betrayed my former master was precisely the Emperor!”
Lin Rui was startled and looked at Xianyu Yan in absolute surprise, “How is that possible?”
“What’s impossible about that?”
Xianyu Yan chuckled coldly, “Shouldn’t you find it strange? I’ve never laid out any conditions to you, such as seeking revenge against those from the East Abyss, or those Divine Envoys.”
“You say that, it does seem a bit odd.” Lin Rui nodded, he had thought that she knew he was a Divine Being with the Pure Concept and an Outer Heaven Demon, and got too emotionally stirred up and forgot.
Since she had forgotten, Lin Rui naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to remind her.
“There are many who caused the death of the Crown Prince, but the one I want to kill the most is just the Emperor.”
Xianyu Yan sneered coldly, “But I am not foolish, I don’t think I’m important enough to make you antagonize the East Abyss and the Emperor, but if in the future you desire to become the true Abyss, you will sooner or later have to choose life or death with them, especially with the Emperor!”
Lin Rui’s curiosity was piqued.
He was originally operating with 12 mechanical arms, now it turned into 11.
“Speaking of this Crown Prince, I am also curious as to why the Divine Above wanted to get rid of him? He was only at the Eight Realms at the time, it seems unnecessary. The East Abyss wouldn’t be unable to accommodate just an Eight Realm.”
“He conspired with the Abyss, and traded with the Purgatory Abyss and the Heavenly Demons, attempting to usurp and replace the ancient Heavenly Venerate of Wood Virtue!”
Xianyu Yan’s look became complex, “So the Crown Prince did have his deadly path, violating the Divine Above’s taboo. I actually don’t resent the East Abyss for killing the Crown Prince, just annoyed that they manipulated me and my sisters, to strike behind his back.”
Lin Rui inwardly muttered ‘as expected,’ there was indeed another reason for the East Abyss to target the Crown Prince.
He subsequently clicked his tongue noncommittally, “Was the Crown Prince completely clueless about you Dragon Guards? Utterly unaware and unprepared? What does his death have to do with the Emperor? And why must I inevitably part ways with the Emperor in life or death?”
“He probably knew, but had already accepted his death and did not wish to resist.”
Xianyu Yan took a deep breath, “The Crown Prince’s contact with the Purgatory Abyss was done behind our backs, but the real one wanting to replace ‘Heavenly Venerate of Wood Virtue’ wasn’t him, it was the Emperor!
The Crown Prince was just paving the way for him. The Emperor wanted to complete certain experiments on the Crown Prince, which supposedly were not successful, and when the experiment reached halfway, it became noticeable, forcing the Emperor to cut off ties to survive, leading the Crown Prince to a deadly situation. He thought he was secretive, but I still saw through his schemes.
This is why you must eventually remove him in the future, there are limited divine positions between heaven and earth. Based on the Crown Prince’s speculation, now the universe can only allow one more godly ascension, unless an old god falls, sooner or later you two must decide life or death.”
Lin Rui narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, the Emperor actually wanted to replace the ‘Heavenly Venerate of Wood Virtue’? Unexpectedly, Xianyu Yan still had such a shocking secret.
If this information were to be leaked, it could possibly turn the Great Song upside down, leading either to the fall of deities or a change of dynasty.
Lin Rui then became emotional again, re-realizing how fortunate he was to have met his Master.
“And also, at that time the Crown Prince was close to advancing to the Ninth Realm, once the Crown Prince reached the Ninth Realm, the Emperor thought he would be abandoned by the Divine Above!”
Xianyu Yan’s eyes glowed crimson, “This is the understanding I came to realize afterwards, the Emperor’s talent is also high, and his accumulation has deepened, now with the support of Heavenly Demon Armament and Medicine, Divine Above might not wait for four hundred years of abdication. The Emperor is acting out of insecurity, out of fear.”
She sneered coldly, “The Emperor is very careful, very cautious, he observed me for many decades afterwards, always ready to silence me, until he saw me degenerate beyond hope, becoming a useless person, only then did he gradually relax his control, unaware that I never had any intention to betray from the beginning. I would love for him to fight with the East Abyss, ideally they would both be injured, and perish together.”
“Stop! Stop! You are getting too emotional, better to rest a bit, tell me the details later when there’s time.”
Lin Rui glanced at a monitoring device and also calmed his own mind, “Moreover, after this surgery is completed, I will inject you with some medicines, a total of 11 shots, and it will take about seven days, after which you will be able to attempt advancing to the Eight Realms.”
After this surgery, he also needs to return to Luojing, to receive the visit from the President.
What do you think?
