Chapter 231 A Shocking Conspiracy
"Teacher, becoming a god isn't about becoming stronger; it's about sacrificing everything to gain even greater power. In this world of Douluo, everything after becoming a god has long been firmly controlled by certain individuals. The reason no soul beast has become a god is because the Dragon God, who was created by a soul beast, has already been killed by the combined forces of the five Great God Kings, who have also slaughtered all the Beast Gods."
Su Yu casually explained why soul beasts cannot become gods: sometimes many things are stained with blood, just like humans have to hunt for soul rings, while soul beasts have to overcome one terrifying tribulation after another to become powerful.
"So what are your plans? If you don't become a god, everything you have will be subject to the erosion of time, unless you give up your human identity. But it seems unlikely that you will give up your human identity. Or, do you plan to cooperate with the soul beasts and help the soul beast race create their own godhood?"
Old Yi shared his guess, to which Su Yu simply smiled and offered no further response.
He is currently unable to take action, so he has not made any proactive moves. If the Snow Empress can awaken, Su Yu may have plenty of time to travel to the far north and give the Snow Empress a complete explanation.
The final rounds of the competition have begun, and all Su Yu can do now is to avoid fighting as much as possible until Xue Di awakens.
Not long ago, a new message spread in Mingdu: the Sun and Moon team offered a large sum of money to invite contestants from all walks of life to compete.
At first, everyone thought that these sparring matches were just for spying on military intelligence, and the stakes offered might not be high enough, so few people went to spar. However, as the rewards offered by the Sun and Moon team became more attractive, many participating teams also went to spar.
Some of the participating teams already knew they had no chance of advancing to the next round, so they also participated in the sparring. However, Luo Yu did not participate in any of these sparring sessions. His purpose was actually to train his troops. He didn't necessarily need to know much about the opponents' strength, but he definitely needed to understand his own shortcomings, even if it was just to broaden his horizons.
When this news reached the ears of the Tang Sect team, they were in a dilemma. The resources that the Tang Sect desperately needed were flowing into the hands of other sects in large quantities. Moreover, although the other sects did not obtain as many rare metals as they did, they have not obtained any rare metals since then.
Moreover, some teams have even had team sparring matches with the Sun and Moon team, sparring matches using the 2-2-3 strategy, and so on...
The Tang Clan members were practically drooling over the rare metals being scattered. They had tried several times to request a sparring match with the Sun and Moon Team, but…
I was rejected!
The reason given was that they had already sparred with each other, and there was no need to continue.
The reason is simple and direct; it's clear they don't want to compete with the Tangmen team, or rather, they want to prevent the Tangmen team from developing.
However, these are all just their guesses. After this battle, the eliminated teams received a reward that was extremely generous to them, but it was really not much of a price to pay for the Sun Moon Empire.
Of course, these sparring sessions sometimes involve students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy or the Mingde Hall, rather than sending out all the regular team members.
In response, the Tangmen team had to ask Wang Dong'er to find Su Yu again, so that he could help Tangmen make connections and alleviate their current predicament.
"Alright, I'll go talk to Luo Yu. Whether you can reach an agreement is up to you."
After uttering those words, Su Yu disappeared from the sight of the Tang Clan members. His nonchalant demeanor surprised Bei Bei, as if everything was under Su Yu's complete control.
"Wang Dong'er, are Su Yu and Luo Yu on good terms?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wang Dong'er shook her head and said, "If I remember correctly, Su Yu and Luo Yu had a duel once during an exchange program."
"And then? Dong'er, and then? Tell me!" Tang Ya asked excitedly.
"And that was it. That's all Su Yu told me at the time. Later, I also asked Meng Hongchen, and she said it ended in a draw, but she didn't say anything about the specific details of the battle..."
"It's over, it's all over now. Without a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, who can defeat those two freaks?!"
Xu Sanshi felt dizzy upon hearing this news. No wonder the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy agreed so readily; they had completely anticipated that they couldn't defeat Luo Yu.
"Shut up! It's not even the finals yet, what discouraging things are you spouting? Last time we turned the tide in the finals, and we can do it again this time. Otherwise, how will you face Su Yu? Are you going to tell him we were cowards and chose to admit defeat?"
Beibei glared at Xu Sanshi with some displeasure, and Xu Sanshi immediately sat up straight, looking down at his nose and inward.
"Then tell me..."
"Let's not say anything unlucky. Let's just wait for Su Yu's news."
At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Su Yu easily found Luo Yu.
In a private room at the restaurant, Su Yu asked, "How are things going internally within the Sun Moon Empire?"
"To be precise, Xu Tianran's succession is only a matter of time. However, given the current situation, the Sun Moon Empire will likely launch a war against the three great empires immediately after Xu Tianran takes the throne." Luo Yu handed the item in his hand to Su Yu.
Flipping through the meeting minutes in his hand, he roughly understood the current situation of the Sun Moon Empire. The old emperor had taken some medicine and was forcing himself to make the final preparations for the Sun Moon Empire before the start of the war.
Luo Yu successfully rose to power, gained the appreciation of Silver Moon Douluo, and successfully joined the circle of the Empire's decision-making level. Now, the only person he needs to persuade is Hall Master Jing.
According to her plan, as long as Luo Yu can completely gain Xu Tianran's trust, then the next step of the plan will be to be launched again.
"However, before the threat of the Holy Spirit Cult is completely eliminated, the Sun and Moon Empire cannot wage war against the three great empires. Moreover, after this meeting, I was summoned by the old emperor, ten days before the end of the competition. I suspect that the old emperor may know about my improvement plan for Number Two, but I do not know who will be piloting Number Two at that time."
Luo Yu began to analyze the current situation. According to Xu Tianran's personality, what he would do next was to use the emotional appeal of Ju Zi to win over Luo Yu. However, if Luo Yu was not the pilot of the second aircraft in the future, there would be too many variables.
"Actually, we don't need to worry too much. The Hall Master is a smart man, and Silver Moon Douluo is also a smart man. However, I think you might need to give someone else a chance. After all, you created Number Two. Who could be more suitable for Number Two than you?"
Su Yu smiled. If Number Two really fell into Luo Yu's hands, it would mean that Number One in his possession could be officially decomposed, and a large amount of experimental data could be added to Number One.
However, reality is not so kind. Luo Yu needs to suffer setbacks before he can emerge. Right now, Luo Yu has already attracted too much attention.
"I think I need to bow down to the Crown Prince and also become Silver Moon Douluo's disciple, but it's not so easy to talk to the Hall Master. Unless the old emperor issues an edict, or I take the initiative to express goodwill to Silver Moon Douluo, Silver Moon Douluo will never take the initiative to discuss it with the Hall Master." Luo Yu needs a backer now, and he has to make a choice.
If he doesn't bow down to the Crown Prince, he can accomplish many things with Xu Tianran's help before Xu Tianran takes the throne. However, after Xu Tianran takes the throne, he may be forcibly stripped of power and become a figurehead.
If I bow down to the Crown Prince, many of my plans will be restricted in the short term, and I may miss many opportunities during this period. However, as long as Xu Tianran takes the throne, I will have the opportunity to make great strides and may even become a powerful figure in the empire.
Every bet comes at a price; there is never a win-win situation.
"No, what you need now is to wait. Judging from the current situation, the Hall Master has already compromised. However, what you need to do now is to take the initiative to seek guidance from Silver Moon Douluo. As long as Silver Moon Douluo accepts you as a disciple, then whatever you do, as long as you don't touch Xu Tianran's sore spot, you can do everything defensively."
The fact that the hall master compromised means that Luo Yu will become Xu Tianran's close advisor. However, the control of the No. 2 pilot is largely not in Luo Yu's hands, because Luo Yu, as a disciple of the hall master and a close advisor to the crown prince, is not yet qualified to access these things.
Even if Luo Yu contributed a flawless plan to the empire, it would be of no use. It would only make everyone realize that he was someone who was beneficial to the empire.
After all, the imperial decision-making body will always consist of only a small group of people, and the number of seats is limited!
However, if Luo Yu were to become a disciple of Kong Deming, the father of soul guidance, his status would be greatly elevated, allowing him to perfectly navigate the power vacuum during the period before the crown prince ascended the throne.
"Although I feel a little sorry for the Hall Master, some things cannot be wrong!" Luo Yu clenched his fist and looked towards the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace.
When you gain something, you always have to let go of something else. Times may change, but people's hearts will never change.
"You were behind the Tang Clan team incident, weren't you?" Su Yu asked, looking at the clone in front of him.
He has been in seclusion recently and hasn't had time to absorb much information, so his information on many things is not as complete as Luo Yu's.
"Are you going to get involved? If you decide to help, then I'll abandon my plan. Although this might affect my overall strategy, you are the main body, so you have the final say."
"Go with your plan. I don't really want to get involved in these things. After all, I have other things to take care of."
Heavily in debt and the "forever" series.
I've erased all traces of someone; perhaps without those traces, I'd be better off...
