The stolen magic is a bit magical

"Technology is constantly being updated and iterated, and the Earth-Falling Beast is not invincible," said the Left Envoy. "Moreover, currently only Elder Di is capable of controlling the Earth-Falling Beast, and after gaining control this time, he will also need to rest for a while."

The elders' initial high spirits were effectively suppressed.

This is yet another weakness.

The Grand Elder took a deep breath: "What does the Left Envoy think? Tell me everything."

The Left Envoy's gaze swept across the surroundings.

This place is on a cliff, and he only has four elders with him, making it the safest environment possible...

He said, "Elders, that grand plan needs to be brought forward!"

All the elders were greatly shocked.

That big plan!
This is a plan that the Li Tian clan has been working on for many years, generation after generation.

It can be said to be the biggest plan of the entire Li Tian clan.

The elder said, “Our generation of clansmen is moving faster than any previous generation. Our efforts have taken root and sprouted in all areas, but the time is not yet ripe.”

“I know the timing isn’t right, but the situation is pressing, we don’t have time, we have to move forward!” the Left Envoy said.

"Because of the appearance of the Earth-Dwelling Beast army?"

"A super army that should not exist in this world, an exceptionally turbulent and sensitive world order—this explosive news will appear in major news media by tomorrow morning at the latest, and the world's attention will be focused on us..." The Left Envoy said, "We cannot withstand this pressure on our own; we must have the backing of a nation!"

"To take over the Kingdom of Durta in a short time... that's impossible!" the elder said.

"No! There is a way! The only way!" said the Left Envoy.

"what?"

"Ancestral Mountain Sacred Lotus!"

The four elders' expressions changed simultaneously, becoming extremely serious.

After a long silence, the Grand Elder let out a long sigh: "The Holy Lotus will not leave the Ancestral Mountain. This is an ironclad rule that has stood for ten thousand years. They will never agree to this!"

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way! I can make this trip myself,” said the Left Envoy.

The Grand Elder asked, "How do you plan to... persuade the Ancestral Hall Elders?"

“One positive and one negative! On the positive side, I solemnly declare to the Ancestral Temple that I request permission to use my Sacred Lotus in order to restore the foundation of their nation.” The Left Envoy said, “On the negative side, if the Ancestral Temple does not agree, then my Utopia will withdraw from the temple and sever all ties with the Ancestral Temple.”

If you are willing to lend me the Holy Lotus, I will take over the entire Durta. From then on, this country will be the back garden of the Ancestral Temple, with all kinds of resources and supplies readily available.

If you are unwilling to lend the Sacred Lotus, there is nothing I can do. Anyway, my temple has been destroyed, and I no longer expect anything from your ancestral temple. By severing the connection between the two worlds, you will also be completely cut off from the outside world.

This was the Left Envoy's plan, and this was also his resolute decision.

A mountain breeze arose, and the elders exchanged glances. Finally, the First Elder let out a long sigh: "The situation forces us to act, and we have no choice but to do so! I... agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

The four elders reached a consensus, and the matter was settled!

Since the temple only had seven elders, and the rule of majority rule was always followed, the matter was settled once the four elders agreed.

With their plan accomplished, the five of them left the general's mansion and embarked on their return journey.

They would never have imagined that what they considered top secret was not so secret under the watchful eyes of a divine being ten miles away.

Lin Xiaosu shifted her position four times, using her divine insight and time travel abilities to interpret everything everyone said through lip reading.

The temple's higher-ups speak Chinese!
Lip reading is now much easier.

Once interpreted.

Lin Xiaosu's heart was filled with endless waves...

That grand plan! He roughly deciphered it; it was actually a plan to establish a nation.

Utopia has such lofty ambitions.

From their perspective, having such a plan is reasonable, but how easy is it to take over a country?

As the Left Envoy said, changing countries does not equate to battlefield suppression. The battlefield at the national level is not limited to the bloody battlefield.

There are countless threads, countless cunning old foxes in the political arena, and international coercion and enticement...

How could a mere army of earth-dead beasts possibly control a country?
In feudal society, perhaps conquest could be achieved through force, but in modern society, this approach is no longer fashionable.

So, the question is, what exactly is the Ancestral Mountain Sacred Lotus?

Why is it that when the Left Envoy mentioned the Sacred Lotus, no one doubted whether the Sacred Lotus itself could achieve the goal of changing the country, but only focused on whether it could be obtained?

What kind of lotus flower is this?
What incredible effects does it have?

The lotus flowers that left the deepest impression on Lin Xiaosu were probably the three lotus flowers mentioned by the ancient great power (or great demon) in her sea of ​​consciousness: the Lotus of Lost Path, the Sun Lotus, and the Moon Lotus.

These three lotus flowers are all related to secondary divine magic.

Lesser divine arts excel at control.

Could it be that this sacred lotus of Ancestral Mountain is one of these three lotus flowers?
Could it be that this lotus flower is Utopia's deepest hidden trump card?

He's been digging into Utopia's trump card.

Like digging lotus roots in a lotus pond, the more you dig, the deeper it gets!
Where is Zushan?

All of this was shrouded in mystery for him.

However, Lin Xiaosu's interest was truly piqued.

Very well, let's put aside the battlefield strategy for now and move on to a spy war!
Lin Xiaosu moved her feet and emerged from the mountain. The journey from the Tiger Army camp to the location of the temple through the valley was quite long, but the journey through the mountaintop was not actually that far. In fact, it could be said that the two major forces were on opposite sides of the same mountain range.

After crossing three mountain ridges, the temple is located below.

Lin Xiaosu's gaze fell on the temple ruins, and then on the three valleys below, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her...

Was I too ruthless in my actions?

The temple is gone.

The valley has basically been turned upside down.

But there's nothing we can do; it's your utopia that has no bottom line when it comes to acting.

Today, I'll let you experience the feeling of a landslide and earthquake, and perhaps then you'll be able to deeply understand what the alien race from the subterranean world means to humanity.

Several military vehicles sped by.

In the first car sat that old man, Di.

The vehicle behind him was loaded with military supplies.

The valley began to bustle with activity. No one noticed that among the lively procession was an outsider.

His skin tone was the same as that of the local Li Tian people, showing signs of weathering.

He was wearing the uniform of a temple guard.

He carried a rocket launcher and followed a large contingent of guards into the temple...

He was quite diligent, going in and out all day.

The captain nodded in approval.

The sun is setting...

Beneath the ruins of the temple, before a strange gate.

The patterns on this gate are extremely intricate.

A ball of fire above.

There is water below.

A piece of wood on the left.

Gold is on the right.

The middle part is soil.

The Gate of the Five Elements.

The seven elders gathered together.

There were two people in front of them, one in white and one in black.

The one in white is the Left Envoy, and the one in black is Qingru, the Left Envoy's inseparable subordinate.

"Activate!" the Grand Elder commanded.

The Second Elder raised his hand, and an ancient cane emitted flames that shot towards the flame pattern above. The pattern suddenly came to life, as if a ball of fire was burning on the door.

The Third Elder's cane emitted a stream of emerald green water, giving the water on the door a dynamic quality.

A spider lily bloomed from the cane in the Fourth Elder's hand, and the spider lily's tendrils extended to the tree on the door.

The Fifth Elder's cane was like a knife, and he slashed at a knife on the right side.

The elder drew his cane, which glowed golden, and struck the center.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth!
All five elements come together.

The gate opened silently, revealing an incredibly deep passage that stretched into the depths of the earth.

The Left Envoy and Qingru stepped into the passage side by side.

The heavy iron gate slowly closed behind them.

"Elder, has the patriarch's injury shown any improvement?" the Second Elder asked.

This is perhaps the common thought of everyone when facing a major event: hoping that the clan leader will appear and reassure everyone.

The Grand Elder shook his head slightly: "He had shown some improvement, but the death of Zhen Shen has aggravated his injuries, so I'm afraid... there won't be any improvement for a while."

"Zhen Shen is his only son, and he has an unprecedented genetic advantage. The clan leader has high hopes for him. Even we outsiders can feel the weight of this blow, let alone him, who is involved in it?"

The elders shook their heads and sighed as they went their separate ways.

Today is May 13th.

The moon rose, though not very full, it still cast a silvery glow over the temple ruins.

The destroyed temple has begun to be repaired, and the houses in the valley have begun to be rebuilt.

The wounds of war will eventually heal with time.

Although it will take a long time.

But the newly acquired weapons and supplies gave the tribesmen a renewed sense of excitement.

Many people practice shooting in the arena, experiencing the thrill of the new war mode.

In the past, most people in Utopia despised firearms. They believed that with the super fighting genes given to them by their ancestors, they could sweep across the world. However, firearms dealt them a heavy blow, making them deeply remember the terror of firearms.

There are indications that, having survived this ordeal, the people of Utopia will embrace a combination of special skills and modern weaponry.

This is probably another kind of rebirth.

There were soldiers at the entrance to the basement.

They were the elite of the entire temple.

One of them went into the basement.

The basement is enormous, like an underground labyrinth.

The basement was also lively.

Before the temple was rebuilt, the elders needed to handle clan affairs underground.

You need manpower to handle things.

Organizing the office, assigning staff, and streamlining workflows always involve a period of hectic activity.

In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed that a person who looked no different from an ordinary guard had entered a secret underground room.

This secret room was the place where all the elders gathered immediately when the missiles struck the ground.

The person who came in was Lin Xiaosu.

In the darkness, he did not light a candle, because he did not need one.

With the help of divine insight and the ability to rewind time, he saw the scene of the old man returning, and he also traced back to the scene when the old man came out.

Di Lao was his first key target.

Why?

This stems from what the Left Envoy said: "The Earthly Army can currently only be controlled by one person in the Temple, and that is Elder Di. After this experience, Elder Di needs to rest for a while."

The Left Envoy used these words to persuade the elders to calm down.

Don't think that just because you have the army of earth-destroying beasts at your disposal, you can roam the world freely.

The elders listened.

What no one expected was that there was another person who also "listened" to it.

This person is Lin Xiaosu. (End of Chapter)
