People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 578 Another Beginning
The Xuan Emperor's power of deterrence is naturally immense. Even outside the Nine Provinces, he commands respect, though not as much as within the Nine Provinces.

To be honest, it would be too surreal for a dominant power to look down on anyone who comes outside their territory, as if they could be trampled on at will.

If that person were just an ignorant scoundrel, there would be some chance. But the more powerful a person is, the more they know how terrifying the Xuan Emperor is.

If this matter is exposed, it will not be as simple as just that the days ahead will be difficult.

But the Fountain of Immortality is equally alluring.

At their level, the allure of wealth and power is no longer so strong; what can truly entice them is lifespan, and a longer lifespan at that.

For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent. Everyone's expression subtly changed, clearly indicating that they were all thinking and weighing the pros and cons.

"Many people like to link individuals with forces, feeling that dealing with one person is dealing with the entire force, which is a mistake."

"Emperor Xuan's protection of Li Qi could not be unlimited."

"This can be done, but it must be launched throughout the Nine Provinces. Speed ​​is crucial; once the imperial court reacts, it will be an inescapable trap, and the entire operation will fail..."

"If only their entire family were overseas, we could arrest their family and friends, throw them into disarray, wear down their fighting spirit, then lay down numerous traps, and bombard them with firepower. We have no shortage of elite troops, ammunition, and weapons. If necessary, we could even detonate a small nuclear bomb..."

"If we are determined, we can even capture a demigod, but the price will be enormous."

"But in Kyushu, everything we do best is restricted."

"In terms of individual combat strength, we are not at an advantage."

Finally, someone spoke up. The directors of the Meteor Moon Group were ranked in order of seniority, from the first seat to the twenty-fifth seat. He was ranked fifth.

This man looked to be in his early forties, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was quite handsome at first glance, but the occasional cold glint in his eyes revealed his cruel nature.

"Therefore, my idea is to ask Mr. Charon to take action. As far as I know, Mr. Charon has always been very interested in Dr. Qi. However, Dr. Qi has a special status, and even someone like Mr. Charon cannot meet him whenever he wants. This is also an opportunity for Mr. Charon."

The top leader of the Meteor Moon Group spoke up once again, convening a meeting to thoroughly consider all aspects of the matter.

This so-called discussion was really just an attempt to persuade others to vote in favor.

He can make decisions on many things in the group with a single word, but some things require a vote.

As for Mr. Charon, whom he mentioned, he is the honorary chairman of their group, the kind who only takes benefits and does nothing. Although they are backed by the Demon God Research Institute, they cannot trouble the institute for everything. After all, they are just henchmen and lackeys. If they really troubled the institute for everything, that would be turning against the Heavenly Gang.

Within the research institute, there is also a rating system for external forces; the more you contribute, the greater the level of protection you receive.

These rating points are difficult to accumulate but are quickly depleted, so they can only be used in key areas or even as a powerful deterrent.

In this situation, it is only natural for them to seek other external assistance and backing.

As for Mr. Charon, Charon is just that person's code name. Few people know his real name. In mythology, the code name Charon belongs to a demigod of the underworld. And Mr. Charon's martial arts skills had already reached the level of a demigod at the second stage of the Great Dao ten years ago.

Such people are not to be manipulated at will; they can only achieve their goals through personal relationships and interests. Just like this time, if it weren't for Dr. Qi's presence, the First Sid would never have mentioned Mr. Charon.

Without this factor, even if they voted in unison, the probability of persuading Mr. Charon would be no more than 50%.

But now, at least in the calculations for the first seat, the chances are 30%.

The root of everything is Dr. Qi himself.

This person was suddenly brought back to the research institute by God a year and a half ago. No one knows where he came from. As soon as he arrived at the research institute, God gave Dr. Qi enormous power, second only to himself.

Apart from the arbitration panel, which the other party cannot mobilize, all other resources and forces are at the other party's disposal.

In that year and a half, under the guidance of the other party, many of the institute's important projects made significant and crucial progress.

To many, this person was no longer human; he possessed almost godlike wisdom.

No one knew his real name; they only knew that he had given himself a code name: Qi.

Earlier, many people were curious as to why the other party had such a code name. It wasn't until recently, when the saying that a great fortune was about to begin spread, that many people suddenly realized the reason.

Many people don't know whether the other party acted intentionally or unintentionally. If it was intentional, it would be quite frightening, as it would mean that this Dr. Qi had foreseen this before the sages jointly calculated it.

At the same time, this person is meticulous in his work.

From the perspective of the First Seat, the fact that the other party approached their Meteor Moon Group must mean they foresaw that their plan had the highest probability of success.

This person may indeed possess some extraordinary ability to foresee the future.

And indeed, that's the case. Based on what Li Qi has shown in the world's information level, his combat power is only equivalent to 20% of the lower limit of a Great True Person. When the Meteor Moon Group holds a meeting now, they immediately send out a Half-Saint of the Second Heaven. This is not using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but rather using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito.

On the surface, he was only at the third level of the Enlightenment Realm, but his enemies, once they made a move, were all half-saints at the second level of the Great Dao Transformation Realm. There was no need for cannon fodder who were only slightly stronger than him...

Undoubtedly, this is a case of the tallest tree attracting the most wind. He has only shown a little bit of his talent, and as soon as he begins to emerge, all sorts of storms naturally come his way.

The benefits of being prudent are fully demonstrated at this time.

Ten minutes later, the entire audience voted, with twenty votes in favor and five abstentions, and the resolution was passed.

After that, the projection of the first seat disappeared temporarily. Fifteen minutes later, the projection of the other party reappeared in the conference room and said, "Mr. Charon has agreed, but not now. A month later, there will be an auction held by the Nine Seas Auction House under the command of the Nine Seas Holy King in the East China Sea of ​​Kyushu. Mr. Charon will attend. It is said that this time, among the auction items will be artificially created special beings, which are cutting-edge experimental products made by the Nine Seas Research Institute. Mr. Charon is very interested in this thing."

"Once this matter is over, Mr. Charon will make a detour to Kyushu and bring Li Qi back."

He spoke casually, but everyone in the meeting room was completely reassured, convinced that the matter was a sure thing.

A half-saint who has undergone two transformations—without saints around, there are very few who are more powerful than him. How could such a person possibly encounter an accident?!
