What is the Young Master doing?

Lin Suqing silently voiced such a question in her heart.

First, Wu Wang brought them, the "irrelevant ones," to meet with the Human Emperor. Then, he vanished into nothingness right in front of the Human Emperor. Once they reappeared, they had Ming Snake create a tunnel, bringing them directly back to the Annihilation Sect…

Wasn't that just a futile round trip?

Pfft, no, that's wrong. What a great honor it was to see His Majesty Shen Nong up close.

Lin Suqing blinked, thinking this, yet she felt no real ripples of excitement in her heart.

Nothing personal, just quite familiar.

The soft chirping of the Blue Bird reached her ears.

Lin Suqing immediately snapped back to reality and, with the Blue Bird by her side, walked toward an inner cave, where she heard voices conversing near a desk.

The usually languid Sleep god now had a grave expression, saying something,

"...Once the great array of the Human Domain is activated, as long as we can keep Emperor Shun outside, I have a sixty percent chance of plunging the Head Manager into a sleeping state.

But there's a difference between entering sleep and entering a dream realm.

And to mess with his Great Dao without waking him up is impossible."

Suqing naturally had no interest in such matters.

She had already devoted all her attention to "serving the Young Master" and "discussing the Dao with the Young Master."

Humming a soothing tune, Lin Suqing's delicate and well-proportioned figure, with her soft skirt trailing behind, flew into the quiet inner cave.

Unlike Lin Suqing, Ling Xiaolan, who was at Wu Wang's side, kept pondering, trying to understand what exactly Wu Wang and the others were planning to do.

In Ling Xiaolan's understanding, Wu Wang was scheming against the Head Manager, as if trying to trap the Head Manager in an inescapable situation.

Therefore, Ling Xiaolan said, "Instead of suppressing or inducing sleep, why not directly attack his vital point?"

Wu Wang replied warmly,

"Because if we do that, the Head Manager's Great Dao would return to Heaven Palace. With some time, Heaven Palace could cultivate a new God of Lifespan, or they could directly allow the Young Manager to absorb that Dao.

Our goal is to keep the Head Manager alive and prevent the merger of the Dao of Life."

Ling Xiaolan nodded slowly, stood with her hands clasped behind her, and listened quietly.

Finding herself unable to help, she spoke no further.

Wu Wang discussed with the Sleep god, Xiao Jian, and the Grand Elder for a while and soon came up with several battle plans.

With the commitment from Shen Nong and the trump cards of the Human Domain, Wu Wang suddenly became much more assertive.

These trump cards, hidden by the higher-ups of the Human Domain, were the fundamental reason deterring Emperor Shun from stepping foot in the Human Domain, but at such a critical moment, they needed to be used.

Decisiveness could gain free advantages;

Hesitation would inevitably lead to defeat.

「An hour later.」

All the plans were finalized.

Wu Wang said, "We'll now split up and take action. Daoist brother, take the token given by His Majesty and go directly to Master Liu. The Benevolent Emperor Pavilion will fully cooperate with our ensuing plans.

You can be candid with Master Liu; I am going to talk to Lin Nuhao and try to arrange a setup on the Lin Family's land."

"Hmm," Xiao Jian Daoist picked up the wooden token on the table and gave Wu Wang a Daoist bow.

Just as the Daoist was about to fly away, Ming Snake had already darted outside the cave dwelling and parted Heaven and Earth with a wave of its hand.

The true traffic coordinator.

After Xiao Jian Daoist left, the Sleep god asked, "Am I to proceed with you, brother?"

"I would trouble you for that, elder brother," Wu Wang said. "I cannot promise you any benefit, but as long as we survive this ordeal…"

"Cut the nonsense," the corners of the Sleep god's mouth twitched. "Just give me that Image Projection Bead of yours."

Wu Wang shook his head with a smile and pulled out a treasure sack.

The Sleep god snatched it to take a look and burst into laughter upon recognizing it as the leverage he had once left for the Human Domain. "You really didn't send it away. Trying to trick me, huh?"

Then his words halted, and he spoke softly, "Is there a backup?"

"Impossible... not to have one."

Wu Wang spoke vaguely and continued, "Big brother, I would like to talk with Lin Nuhao in his dreams. Is it difficult for a Transcendent of the Human Domain?"

The Sleep god grunted,

"Looking down on who, huh? Who are you looking down on?

The Transcendent experts among your Human Domain cultivators are still somewhat inferior to these Strong Gods who wield the Innate Dao.

I may be a lesser god, but I have full confidence in dealing with a Transcendent."

"That's good."

"Sect Master," the Grand Elder interjected with a frown at his side, "You still need to take care of your body. His Majesty just cautioned you that whether it's elixirs or divine skills, the vitality you replenish from them is external.

You must be mindful of your own consumption and rest in time."

Wu Wang nodded with a smile, speaking warmly, "Thank you for the reminder, Grand Elder. I will keep this in mind."

After saying that, he lowered his head to look at the desk surface, his gaze slightly complex.

Before returning, His Majesty Shennong's transmitted message vaguely told him something, yet it seemed like nothing had been said.

The Yan Emperor had said: 'Wu Wang, the matter of repeating the cycle you are involved in might not be proceeding in sequential order.

Every living being, every separate consciousness must make different choices, and different choices can lead to different outcomes, yet they might also converge to the same outcome.

How to turn one's momentum into the momentum of heaven and earth—if you figure that out, you might comprehend a more critical step.

Isn't this the very principle contained in those scriptures you wrote?'

He didn't quite understand those scriptures he memorized either!

"Time is tight, and the mission is heavy."

Wu Wang sighed and took out a jade talisman, then returned it to his sleeve before spreading out a piece of white paper.

He raised his hand to touch the inkstone, but saw a gloved hand gently touching it, instantly adding a bit of ink to the stone.

He looked up and exchanged a glance with Ling Xiaolan, and felt an inexplicable sense of calmness in his heart.

Wu Wang said, "We need to cultivate together later; I have to contemplate some principles."

Ling Xiaolan replied, "Mm, just arrange as you see fit."

Wu Wang smiled, picked up a self-made brush, faced the white paper and pondered for a while before writing the character for 'battle'.

Immediately after, he dried the ink on the paper, leaving his own scent on it before folding it and handing it to the Grand Elder.

Wu Wang spoke slowly, "Grand Elder, I'll trouble you to make a trip to the Lin Family. Just throw this down and leave. Announce my name and say it was an envoy I sent. Your own safety is of utmost importance."

"Yes, your subordinate will not fail the mission." The Grand Elder's face showed solemnity as he took the folded paper, then turned and hastened away.

Ming Snake... once again tore through Heaven and Earth.

Without any delay, Wu Wang stood up as soon as he heard the sobbing from the inner cave.

There was one thing he had to consider at this moment.

If he were to fail this time...

He had to grasp this unique aspect of himself, which was his reliance when confronting Emperor Shun, the orchestrator of the cosmic order.

To win unrighteously?

The two sides were never on the same level to begin with. Without using 'unexpected strategies to win,' how could he face such a challenge?

Therefore, he had to turn the events that occurred before both rewinds into "nodes" and complete these nodes to ensure he still had the chance to restart.

"Follow me," he commanded.

「For the third time, the God of Spring harnessed his divine power, revived Xiao Deng, and faced the Heavenly Punishment from Heaven Palace; Ming Snake shattered the Heavenly Punishment's calamity clouds, and the backlash from Heaven Palace then encircled Wu Wang.」

Wu Wang deliberately took out the necklace.

Indeed, a few stars twinkled, and those grey miasmas once again turned into ice spicule dust, which Wu Wang gathered into a brocade box.

Whether to comprehend the principles of order contained in this dust—an event that had not happened in the previous two rewinds—was not certain.

But Wu Wang increasingly felt that the slight mark hidden amongst the Great Dao was very crucial.

Thus, Wu Wang and Ling Xiaolan once again cultivated together.

He recalled the Daoist charm exuded by the Head Manager when he appeared before the first rewind happened, the insights that arose in his heart, and he directly took out these insights and immersed himself in them.

As soon as the two entered a state of joint cultivation, Ling Xiaolan immediately sensed Wu Wang's yearning—his Primordial Spirit craved support, urgently needing her cooperation and assistance.

Without hesitation, she activated her own Dao practice, employing the supreme mystic arts of the Xuan Nu Sect, offering her spiritual mind, aura, and Dao's charm; like tendrils around a tree, yet reversing to nourish the tree with vigor.

Thank you.

Wu Wang's voice resonated within Ling Xiaolan's heart.

Both were startled, not expecting to be able to communicate through the heart during joint cultivation.

Hmm, responded Ling Xiaolan. Brother Wuwang, don't be distracted. I'll lend you my support.

A faint smile flicked across Wu Wang's lips, his spiritual mind plunged into the Great Dao; perceiving the order, feeling the many imprints left by Emperor Shun.

Feng Chun;

Lifespan;

Creatures withering and dying, an endless cycle;

Reincarnation, life and death.

Finding that Mystic Door hidden between the Great Dao, Wu Wang pushed it open, saw that glimmer of light bloom, and once again saw Emperor Shun sitting behind the chessboard.

'Fellow Daoist, shall we play chess?'

Emperor Shun seemed to look at Wu Wang, but his gaze ultimately passed over Wu Wang's shoulder.

Wu Wang stood there contemplating, but he did not dare to linger here for too long, so as not to let too much time pass outside and miss the optimal moment.

The rules of this chess game were set by Emperor Shun. How to win or lose was also decided by him.

But he himself...

Could "reset" the game!

Who is the Heavenly Emperor calling out to with this mark?

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow, quickly withdrew his spiritual mind from this place, crossed the sea of Dao rules, returned to the Immortal Platform in the God's Mansion, and opened his eyes in front of Ling Xiaolan, hurriedly asking,

"How many hours has it been?"

Ling Xiaolan's beautiful eyes gently opened, her long eyelashes lightly fluttering, and she softly said, "It should be three."

The Sleep god's yawn came from afar. He had, at some point, lain down on a circular platform in the center of the lotus pond, where he had condensed a cloud into a large bed.

"It has been five hours. You two, engrossed in joint cultivation, did not sense the passage of time."

Wu Wang immediately asked, "Has there been any news from Brother Dao and the Grand Elder?"

"Young Master, there is news," Lin Suqing said softly, stepping forward from the side.

"The Benevolent Emperor Pavilion has sent a message. The Grand Elder delivered your letter to Lin Nuhao, who tore it into pieces.

The Grand Elder is unharmed, only having sustained minor injuries. After being expelled from the Lin Family's barracks, he has now regrouped with the masters of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

Xiao Jian Daoist was all set. The informant within the Lin Residence had made preparations to assist, and the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion was fully cooperating."

Wu Wang slowly nodded and asked, "After I sent the message, were there any changes in the Lin Family's defenses?"

Lin Suqing blinked her eyes and said, "The message from the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion didn't mention that."

"Then let's go and ask."

Wu Wang stood up, looked toward the Sleep god at his side, and said with a smile,

"Big brother, let's go."

The Sleep god yawned, his face full of reluctance, dragging his feet, not wanting to get up.

Wu Wang said, "After this is done, I'll find the best carpenter in the Human Domain to make you a top-notch big bed."

The Sleep god flashed and appeared in front of Wu Wang, winking and gesturing at him.

This time, Wu Wang only took Ling Xiaolan with him, leaving Lin Suqing and the others behind.

After all, they were going to enter the dragon's lair and tread the tiger's den, not to bully that Vice Pavilion Master Wang, so there was no need to make a big fuss.

Bringing Fairy Ling along was purely for the convenience of being able to cultivate and comprehend the Dao together at any time and to gather more useful information from the Great Dao.

The words of His Majesty Shennong were definitely not spoken casually for him to hear, nor could they have been said carelessly without thinking.

Especially the words 'next time,' which left an exceptionally deep impression on Wu Wang.

Listen more, observe more, ponder more, and think more…

"Lord God!" exclaimed the ever-youthful Xiao Deng, flying in the air and vigorously waving her little arms. "Thank you so much."

Wu Wang smiled and nodded, standing with a straight posture.

In the sky, Ming Snake tore through Heaven and Earth once again, a trace of gloom crossing its eyes.

Being skilled in the shifting of Heaven and Earth is so annoying!

...

Stars faintly twinkled, as dusk was just settling in.

Within that familiar valley, Wu Wang arrived with Ming Snake and Ling Xiaolan through the torn fabric of Heaven and Earth; ahead were Liu Baiyi and several Vice Pavilion Masters from the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

The Sleep god had already hidden himself in the shadows, not wishing to face the Human Domain's experts.

Wu Wang's gaze fell on the face of Vice Pavilion Master Wang Jian, who revealed a bit of curiosity as they made eye contact.

The third encounter with Vice Pavilion Master Wang Jian didn't give him the opportunity to cause any trouble for Wu Wang.

But Wu Wang already knew that should he ever fall from grace, this man would definitely trample him a few times!

Not holding grudges? Would that even be a proper person?

"Master Liu," Wu Wang said indifferently, "could you ask Vice Pavilion Master Wang to step aside?"

Liu Baiyi looked puzzled, but having seen the Human Emperor's Token in his disciple Xiao Jian's hands earlier, he now knew that significant matters concerning the future of the Human Domain were at stake, and moreover...

Wu Wangzi was the core driving force behind this event.

Without hesitation, Liu Baiyi said, "Vice Pavilion Master Wang, please step back."

Wang Jian shivered slightly all over his body, and could only bow to Liu Baiyi before quickly blending into the night.

Wang Jian, who had been in the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion for so many years, now had a premonition that his future prospects were bleak and he might even be ousted from the center of power within the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

He was utterly puzzled.

Who had let the information slip? Who knew about his intentions to use the Lin Family's rebellion to suppress the Little Golden Dragon's influence?

Which of those families had a traitor?

Wang Jian's face darkened as he pondered endlessly in the shadows.

Meanwhile, Wu Wang whispered to Liu Baiyi for a while, who frowned, pondering and weighing...

"Wuwang, are you going directly? Isn't that too risky?" Liu Baiyi asked via voice transmission, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Many are now murmuring whether there might be a problem, seeing that Lin Qi and you have such an amicable relationship.

If you secretly go to the Lin Residence to persuade them to surrender, and if the Lin Family capitulates, then we can avoid the internal consumption of our Human Domain experts.

But if the Lin Family still insists on going down their dark path, you will inevitably be affected...

As everything in the Human Domain progresses upwards, many issues are not apparent, but should there be any pause, trouble will inevitably arise."

Wu Wang gave Liu Baiyi a smile, lifted his hand to grasp Liu Baiyi's arm, preventing others from overhearing their whispered conversation.

He said, "Pavilion Master, the situation is rather complex; I can't explain it clearly at the moment. I believe the royal decree from His Majesty has also reached you."

"Indeed," Liu Baiyi replied solemnly. "Tell me how we should coordinate."

"Without regard to consequences, without counting the cost," Wu Wang whispered.

"Use the Lin Family to draw in the Head Manager, and trap the Head Manager within the Absolute Heavenly Array of the Human Domain, to either kill or capture."

Liu Baiyi's expression changed. "His Majesty wants to activate the former emperor's great array?"

Wu Wang nodded, speaking slowly, "His Majesty did mention such a possibility."

"But if we employ this method, it would be equivalent to willingly giving up a layer of protection," Liu Baiyi frowned. "This..."

Wu Wang remained silent while Liu Baiyi's voiced concerns gradually faded. Eventually, Liu Baiyi nodded in agreement, insisting on personally escorting Wu Wang to the Lin Family's city.

Without delay,

Wu Wang, Ming Snake, Liu Baiyi, Xiao Jian Daoist, Grand Elder, and Ling Xiaolan—a total of six people—flew out of the valley, skimming across the terrain, circling from the west, and headed stealthily towards the Lin Family's Stone City.

According to information from the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion and continuous reports from the Four Seas Pavilion, after the Grand Elder delivered the message to the Lin Residence, the number of troops surrounding it doubled. However, a lapse in defense appeared in the rear courtyard, and the residence's protective barrier also showed a 'breach'.

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang felt somewhat reassured.

Lin Nuhao certainly had other plans.

Why then, in the previous two times, had Lin Nuhao been directly deemed a rebel and killed without stirring much trouble?

Wu Wang thought it over carefully, and after understanding, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

During his first experience of 'today', Lin Nuhao took the initiative to issue a challenge, asking him to come over and respond.

At that time, Lin Nuhao might have intended to convey some message!

But Wu Wang, preoccupied with his cultivation and enlightenment, merely sent Suqing to scold Lin Nuhao a few times.

By the time Wu Wang's cultivation concluded, the Lin Residence had already been razed to the ground, and Lin Qi had perished within, leaving no opportunity for Wu Wang to assist.

During Wu Wang's second experience of 'today', Lin Nuhao's fate was even more tragic; he probably perished at the hands of His Majesty Shennong.

This third time...

Wu Wang was somewhat curious about what tricks Lin Nuhao had up his sleeve.

Let's see!

The Grand Elder made a move, using the spells of the Blood Killing Dao to conceal their traces and the essence of their paths.

Master Liu intervened with some ingenious method, hiding their figures from view, making them appear as nothing more than a bird flying through the night sky to any onlooker.

Ming Snake, displaying its extraordinary abilities, helped them bypass several layers of powerful formations, slipping into the Lin Residence's back courtyard without anyone being the wiser.

If it weren't for the involvement of the Head Manager, Wu Wang muttered to himself in secret, could the Human Domain simply send a few masters to covertly deal with Lin Nuhao, saving both time and effort and reducing internal friction?

Noticing what Wu Wang might be thinking, Liu Baiyi whispered,

"This must be because Lin Nuhao was aware of your return in advance and has secretly retracted many of his defenses. Previously, when I sent people to probe, it was very hard to reach this location."

"Hmm."

Without saying much more, Wu Wang began searching through the somewhat empty Lin Residence's back courtyard.

Divine thoughts flowed, Immortal Consciousness swept past, and Wu Wang almost lost himself to fury.

This!

In a certain attic, numerous chains were strung across the room.

Lin Qi, with disheveled hair, was wrapped in iron chains and hung beneath a beam. Although he had no serious wounds, his skin was torn and his flesh gaped, making for a frightening sight.

Wu Wang subconsciously took half a step towards that direction, but immediately, he stopped in his tracks.

There was no other reason; an armored figure with hands clasped behind walked past the corridor, heading towards Lin Qi's room.

The rebel leader, Lin Nuhao!

Liu Baiyi called out in a low voice, "Wuwang?"

Wu Wang looked down and saw Liu Baiyi making a throat-slitting gesture.

How could this old man be more impulsive than him, a young man?

"The Head Manager is our target."

Wu Wang held Liu Baiyi back and transmitted his voice to the others,

"Later, when I talk to Lin Nuhao, if things are impossible and he can't be persuaded, it won't be too late for the Pavilion Master to take action."

The Grand Elder expressed his concern, "Sect Master, please be careful."

Wu Wang laughed, "With the presence of several of you, do I still need to fear him?"

After speaking, he summoned Ming Snake to act, and together with the snake, he turned into two blurry shadows, drifting out from the darkness towards the place where Lin Qi was trapped.

The grand array here was still operating, but it couldn't stop Ming Snake's 'Heaven and Earth Circumvention'.

Approaching the door, Wu Wang heard the conversation between Lin Nuhao and Lin Qi … this father and son.

Lin Qi said in a somewhat weak voice,

"Father, stop this. There are masters of the Human Domain outside."

"Once the bow is drawn, there's no turning back," Lin Nuhao spoke calmly, his voice devoid of any ripples. "Having come this far, there's no possibility of turning back."

"Father!"

Lin Qi's eyes were full of pain as he pleaded,

"Even if you imprison me temporarily, you cannot imprison me for a lifetime.

I know you have ambitions, but I cannot agree with betraying the Human Domain and betraying the human race.

Please grant me death and let my bones be buried outside the ancestral land …"

"Rubbish! You are my son, Lin Nuhao!" Lin Nuhao scolded sharply. "Your life was given by me, how dare you belittle yourself!"

"Belittle?"

Anger surged in Lin Qi's eyes, and the iron chains clanged loudly as he struggled a few times, his voice growing louder.

"If it's not belittling, then do you think you still have a precious life?

Father, you betrayed the human race, betrayed the entire Human Domain! Isn't that belittling yourself?

The soldiers who followed you, you just let them be controlled by Heaven Palace!

Those who trusted you, you trapped them and let Qiong Qi break their spirits.

What is belittling? This is belittling!

I am your son, and I recognize that!

But I, Lin Qi, know loyalty, righteousness, integrity, and shame!"

Lin Nuhao didn't get angry but laughed instead, coldly saying, "There's no one in this world worth my loyalty."

"HEH HEH HEH."

A strange laugh emanated from the ground, and from the shadow behind Lin Nuhao, a mass of black and red mist slowly drifted out, transforming into a humanoid phantom.

The shadow of Qiong Qi.

"General Lin, do you need me to act, to train a well-behaved child for General Lin?"

Lin Nuhao did not speak but turned and walked towards the door, pausing before exiting to say,

"Do not forget our agreement."

Qiong Qi laughed, "Of course, the rewards from Heaven Palace for young General Lin Qi are indispensable; longevity is in sight, congratulations to the young General."

After speaking, the black mist retracted, drilling entirely into the ground, and that Dao charm vanished without a trace.

But Lin Nuhao knew that Qiong Qi had not gone far.

Outside the door, the corridor had, at some unknown time, begun to fill with a murky fog.

Lin Nuhao had barely taken two steps when his fingers trembled slightly, and then he continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

After advancing a dozen steps, a cold scoff entered his ears.

"Is there truly no one in the world worthy of the General's loyalty?"

Lin Nuhao's eyebrows furrowed tightly, as if facing a great enemy. He sidestepped half a zhang away, his right hand grasping a longsword while his left hand reached for the bell to summon his subordinates.

Behind a pillar in the corridor, a young Daoist with arms crossed leaned against the edge of the pillar, his mouth curved in a faint smile.

It was Wu Wang.

Lin Nuhao's frown deepened as he coldly said, "You dare to come here in person?"

"The General need not worry. This is a simple barrier set up by Master Liu," Wu Wang spoke in a soothing tone.

"As long as the General guards his mind, Qiong Qi won't hear our conversation.

General, I only have one question for you.

Is it of your own volition to rebel?"

"Hmph!"

Lin Nuhao closed his eyes to focus and did not reply.

"General Lin," Wu Wang solemnly said, "Do you realize that, if things continue this way, the Lin Family will become a chess piece in the conflict between Heaven Palace and the Human Domain, and the Lin Family's destruction is inevitable, with no survivors left.

If you continue to delude yourself, the downfall of the Lin Family will become an immutable situation."

"Is that so?"

Lin Nuhao sneered even more noticeably and indifferently said, "Then please, Wuwang Hall Master, enlighten me—given the current predicament, how can one break the game, escape the plight?"

Wu Wang asked, "If I find you a way out, will you return to the right path?"

Lin Nuhao clenched his fist but said, "What is the right path?"

Wu Wang said, "To be a General of the Human Domain, to protect the Human Domain, that is the right path."

Suddenly, Lin Nuhao's face showed a severe expression as he declared,

"While we fight monstrous beasts and struggle against evil gods, those vile scoundrels and petty people live in drunken stupor behind us, pointing fingers and passing judgment. Is that the right path?"

"What the General is saying is only one-sided, and I'm afraid it's deliberate," Wu Wang responded, his voice still calm.

"The two things in the world that one cannot face directly: one is the sun, the other is the human heart.

The hearts of men differ, and people are diverse; this has been an understood truth since ancient times.

Overall, there are more good people in the Human Domain. It's just that sometimes, those who seek popularity by pandering gain more attention. That's all.

The General carries a heavy responsibility and is deeply trusted by His Majesty, yet you have come to this point today...

I am not here today for Lin Qi, because I knew from the start that even if Lin Qi were taken away, he would be so distraught over your betrayal of the Human Domain that he would take his own life, unable to keep living."

"What a difficult life to survive."

Wu Wang asked, "General, do you really not want to turn back?"

Lin Nuhao's expression was cloudy and uncertain, and after a moment, he said, "When I came to my senses, there was no going back."

"Since rebelling was not your original intention, I can assist you this time."

Wu Wang said, "Later, I will post announcements in various parts of the Human Domain in my own name, telling them that the General's rebellion was a play coordinated with me.

The purpose was to lure the strong gods of Heaven Palace and kill them in ambush."

Lin Nuhao's thick eyebrows furrowed as he asked back, "Will anyone believe it?"

"They will," Wu Wang said. "I will tell them that Heaven Palace is constantly pressuring the Human Domain, openly and secretly wishing to put the Human Domain in a desperate situation.

The threat of Heaven Palace is like a river swollen after a storm, ready to burst the already riddled dam at any moment.

The way to manage water is to dredge rather than block.

In conspiracy with the General, you assumed the infamy and risk to draw the strong gods of Heaven Palace for extermination. By opening the floodgates to relieve the flood, we turn passivity into initiative, making Heaven Palace act rashly and be led by the nose by us.

Later, you just need to die in battle against the Innate Gods, and you will be a hero of the Human Domain."

Pausing his speech, Wu Wang gazed at Lin Nuhao.

"General, Brother Lin has always regarded you as a great hero in his heart."

CLICK.

The hand Lin Nuhao used to grip his longsword hilt trembled faintly.

He took a half-step forward.

The masters hiding in the shadows were almost ready to act on impulse.

Fortunately, Lin Nuhao didn't charge towards Wu Wang but merely moved closer, staring intently at Wu Wang's relatively clear, star-like eyes.

He roared in a low voice,

"Protect Lin Qi! Let him take my place!"

Without hesitation, Wu Wang agreed, "Very well."

Lin Nuhao slowly closed his eyes and said softly,

"Tell me, what do you want me to do? How can we lure them into the trap? Who are you targeting?"

"The Head Manager," Wu Wang said earnestly. "If we can't get the Head Manager, the Young Manager will do. As for the specifics, you'll have to figure out those yourself."

Lin Nuhao frowned at Wu Wang before him.

Sleep?

Before Lin Nuhao could speak, the surrounding fog began to dissipate, and Wu Wang's figure also started to blur as everything around became somewhat fuzzy.

Lin Nuhao shook his head vigorously, only to find himself sitting outside Lin Qi's house where he seemed to have fallen asleep and experienced a short and simple dream.

Was this... The work of the God of Sleep and Dreams? Or had they chosen to stand with Wu Wang?

Lin Nuhao walked forward without showing any emotion, pausing and turning his head to look a few times as he passed a certain stone pillar in the corridor.

It was empty, void of any shadow.

「Four hours later.」

An earth-shaking tremor erupted from the Lin Family fortress, and the Lin Family's private soldiers mobilized en masse, capturing more than a dozen spies from the Four Seas Pavilion and the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

Lin Nuhao, enraged, berated the commander responsible for the defenses.

Those spies would be executed the next day, and an invitation to watch was sent directly north of the Long Wall, flying into that palace in the clouds.

Although the effect of the invitation was mediocre, the Head Manager still happily accepted and promised Qiong Qi that he would come in person.

That is probably what it means to be fearless.
