Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 209 The Extraterrestrial Broker, Half a Move Ahead of Heaven

"According to the latest news from this station, the Celestial Beings have not yet issued a statement regarding the entry of the Human Ancestor Temple into the Underworld. The timing of the Human Ancestor Temple's entry into the Underworld is uncertain, and it is suspected that it can only enter the Underworld after the completion of Mencius's pilgrimage. ♢🐚 ➅❾ร𝒽Ｕ𝓍.Ć𝕠๓ 😳♖"

"According to our station, the two states of Han and Zhao have rekindled a dispute over an economic issue from ten years ago. The King of Zhao made a strong statement, saying that if Han does not take responsibility for the incident, Zhao will not rule out sending troops to conquer Han. Han responded by arguing that Zhao is fabricating the dispute out of thin air and called on the six states not to get caught up in internal strife, lest they be defeated one by one by the mighty army of Qin."

"Li Si, the spokesperson for the Qin state, scoffed at the words of the Han state and publicly declared that Qin is a peace-loving nation, and we never lightly threaten war with other countries. We ask the King of Han not to make excuses for his debts. Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives. This is a matter of course. Qin supports Zhao's righteous debt collection! If a nation loses its credibility, how can it be a nation?"

The sound of news broadcasts echoed throughout the vast palace of the King of Youzhou.

The King of Youzhou sat upright on his throne, one hand supporting his chin, his eyes deep and thoughtful. "Why are the celestial beings so stubborn! Why don't they just send a congratulatory message and let the ancestral temple enter the underworld?"

A figure under the command of the King of Youzhou laughed, "It's simple! The Celestials are just covering for the ancestral temple!"

"In this battle between Qin Feng and Zhang Bairen, Qin Feng won completely, but he also suffered a loss, because according to the bottom line of a duel between strong individuals, Qin Feng was qualified to directly kill Zhang Bairen himself!"

"But Qin Feng didn't do it!"

"The Celestials owe Qin Feng a favor, and they must repay it!"

"How can we repay this? By becoming a villain!"

"Fengdu, where the Ancestral Temple is located, is a very interesting place. It can be said to be the center of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and at the same time it is close to the Underworld."

"With the Ancestral Shrine of Humanity located here, its influence can perfectly extend to both the Immortal Realm and the Underworld, thus allowing control over both regions!"

"If the Ancestral Temple were to honestly enter the underworld, it would actually diminish its influence."

"At this point, the Celestials will stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the location of the Human Ancestral Shrine, making themselves the villains! And the Human Ancestral Shrine can use the Celestials' disagreement as an excuse to continue to hold its position as the big brother in the Earthly Immortal Realm, radiating influence across two regions! Isn't that wonderful?"

The King of Youzhou instantly realized, "So that's how it is! The Heavenly Man and the Ancestral Temple were just putting on a show for the world!"

The figure in the darkness chuckled leisurely, "Otherwise what? You didn't really think they were going to fight to the death, did you?"

"Your Majesty, your understanding of politics is far too superficial. If you were even a little smarter and could see things more clearly, you wouldn't be stuck here all this time."

The King of Youzhou, despite being reprimanded, was not angry. Instead, he said with admiration, "Regardless of the circumstances, since you came to Youzhou, you first made me acknowledge that fictitious relative, Dongfang Laoying, and then dispatched 200,000 troops to participate in the Underworld affair. You successfully pulled Youzhou from the opposite side of the world to the side of the king. Now Qin Feng has set his sights on Dongwang Xishan Kunlun, and Youzhou is at peace."

"No!" the figure said again, "King of Youzhou, you're wrong again! What you think is different from reality."

"Judging from the current appearance, it seems that Dongwangshan and Xikunlun are enemies with Meng Fuzi, but is it possible that Dongwangshan and Xikunlun are also putting on an act?"

"And what about you, Mencius?"

The King of Youzhou was stunned for a moment, "How could this be!"

The figure stood in the shadow of the palace pillars, calmly saying, "Why not? You don't really think your 200,000 troops can improve Qin Feng's impression of you?"

"You are really too naive."

"Do you even know how big Qin Feng's appetite is?!"

"You have no idea how cruel Qin Feng's heart is."

Let me give you an example.

"Qin Feng used to have a very good mecha called Wude. It was the pride of Qin Feng when he first started out. It was built in front of everyone, and it's no exaggeration to say that it was Qin Feng's favorite."

"However, Qin Feng killed Qin Feng's own brothers in this very mech!"

Youzhou Wangdao said, "How could that be? You're talking nonsense again. I saw that mecha fight Zhang Bairen a while ago! It came out of Qin Feng's domain and has already transformed into a god-level mecha."

The figure chuckled softly, "I'm not making this up. The Divine Mech you saw was indeed an upgraded version of the Wude Mech, but what I'm about to tell you is..."

"The soul of the Wude, the soul that Qin Feng once considered his brother, that soul! is gone!"

"The Divine Mech does not have a machine soul. The Divine Mech is a magical artifact, while the machine soul is a magical artifact spirit that only appears when the magical artifact is incomplete."

"I also watched the battle between Qin Feng and Zhang Bairen, and I watched it more than thirty times. I can tell you with certainty that the soul of the Wude is no longer there."

"I suspect that the Wude mech's soul must have done something to show that it didn't want to listen to Qin Feng and was disobeying him, so Qin Feng destroyed the mech's soul behind everyone's back!"

"So, a mech spirit that Qin Feng fought alongside like a brother, and Qin Feng killed it without hesitation. Do you think your 200,000 will satisfy Qin Feng's appetite?"

The King of Youzhou took a deep breath. "The Mech Soul is the Mech Pilot's closest partner. He actually killed his own Mech Soul! This kind of youthful spirit and methods are simply the mark of a ruthless hero!"

"That's right!" the figure sighed. "The longer I spend in the Pangu Universe, the more I marvel at how amazing Qin Feng is. He's completely unpredictable, and I feel increasingly powerless against him!"

"You should know that in my hometown, I am the most powerful diviner in our clan. No one is my match."

"But here, Qin Feng has repeatedly broken through my moves, and I can't even see through his schemes!"

"In your opinion, what will Qin Feng do next?" asked the King of Youzhou.

"I don't know," the figure said. "Recently, Qin Feng has been carrying out a lot of construction in Jianye City, seemingly to establish schools and cultivate some of his successors."

"But I think this is a smokescreen, something he deliberately put on a show for outsiders."

"In the eyes of outsiders, when a person starts taking on apprentices, it means that he is ready to retire from the world and live a life of leisure."

"Qin Feng took advantage of this common sense, making everyone think that he was now in a position of power and wouldn't make a comeback and cause the same reckless behavior as in the East China Sea War."

"In reality, Qin Feng has never changed; he's simply deceiving the world while preparing for an even bigger battle in the East China Sea!"

"In the words of your Pangu universe, he built high walls, stored up grain, and delayed declaring himself king."

Hearing the figure praising Qin Feng, the King of Youzhou couldn't help but say, "Aren't you giving Qin Feng a bit too much credit? If Qin Feng were truly that capable, why would the foundation have disbanded?"

The figure chuckled, "That's an excellent question. You might see the foundation's dissolution as a blunder, but in my eyes, it's a brilliant move."

"First of all, the foundation is out of Qin Feng's control. In the words of my hometown, people who are useless to me are like sand in my hand. It's best to get rid of them as soon as possible."

"According to common sense, since layoffs are inevitable, the debts must be clearly defined, and the boss wants to squeeze out one last bit of profit!"

"But Qin Feng is a smart man. He didn't retaliate at all. In fact, he even gave everyone ten times the compensation!"

Qin Feng knew very well that the guys in the foundation were all talented. After they left, their future would only be brighter and their usefulness even greater! They would be absorbed by various forces.

"And Qin Feng is their president. No matter what they become in the future, as long as Qin Feng appears, they will call him the old president."

"Qin Feng isn't dissolving the foundation; he's using it to cast a massive net across the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man—an incredibly powerful and invincible network of relationships."

"These connections will become an important asset for Qin Feng in the future. After all, the people in the foundation have come to regard Qin Feng as their idol after three years of his teaching and guidance. When they encounter trouble, they will think of Qin Feng, and Qin Feng will have the opportunity to participate in various disputes."

"The greatest mystery of political science lies in struggle; those who practice politics often rise amidst conflict and perish in times of peace!"

"Qin Feng is well-versed in the ways of politics. He knows very well that he needs constant contradictions to make himself prosper. Once the contradictions no longer exist, or rather, he can no longer come into contact with contradictions, then Qin Feng is not far from death."

"No conflict means no longer needing Qin Feng, no influence. A Qin Feng without influence is no different from being dead. Fortunately, Qin Feng quickly realized his weakness and distributed the foundation."

"His next task is to act as a mediator, profiting from the conflicts and disputes between various factions!"

"Here's some current news: the states of Han and Zhao are settling scores. As far as I know, the key figure in Zhao's current strategy is a guy named Guo Kai, while the confidant of the King of Han is a man surnamed Li!"

"Guo Kai and this guy surnamed Li are both from the foundation! Guo Kai is the big boss of corruption in the foundation, and the second-in-command to Lord Pingyuan! This guy surnamed Li is just a minor boss!"

"These two are fighting amongst themselves, and in the end they'll definitely ask Qin Feng to step in! And Qin Feng will reap huge benefits from it! The wealth between nations is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Youzhou finally lost his composure and abruptly stood up. "From beginning to end, Qin Feng has been orchestrating this!"

The figure spoke softly, "You can feel my despair now, can you? Playing chess with this ruthless yet hypocritical guy is incredibly difficult. Fortunately, I'm certain of one thing: he seems to be weak when it comes to women. So far, he hasn't killed a single girl who has feelings for him. Maybe I can use that to my advantage!"

The King of Youzhou hurriedly said, "That's a good idea! If we can control Qin Feng in this way, we'll be safe."

The figure shook his head again, "Don't be too happy yet. This could be a weakness that Qin Feng deliberately exposed. Maybe he's just a ruthless killer who uses women to prove his Dao, and he's pretending to be a sentimental person! I've seen some ruthless people who use women to prove their Dao, but they talk about love while their swords never stop. There are too many of these mentally unstable bastards. If this is a trap set by Qin Feng, I'm afraid I'm in a lot of danger."

"Youzhou Wangdao, does Qin Feng mean he's already noticed you?"

"I suspect he's already noticed me," the figure said. "Last time I acted too hastily, using the name of the Celestials to take Su Daji's shadow away from Xuanyuan Tomb."

"Qin Feng originally thought that the three calamities and five tribulations, seven calamities and eight disasters of Xuanyuan Tomb were arranged by the heavens."

"But now that we've reconciled with the Celestials, they'll clarify that those natural barriers and seals weren't created by them, and they couldn't have created them! Otherwise, they would have already stormed Xuanyuan Tomb and destroyed the ancestral shrine!"

"With Qin Feng's intelligence, it's not hard to figure out that it was done by external forces. With this kind of deduction, it's easy to deduce that the person who took away the shadow Su Daji was not a celestial being, but an external force."

"Qin Feng has already guessed that extraterrestrial forces have appeared in the Earthly Immortal Realm, or rather, extraterrestrial forces have never left the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"Once Qin Feng sets his sights on me, I will be at a great disadvantage. In terms of chess and fighting alone, I am no match for Qin Feng. I need an ally."

The King of Youzhou nodded. "This is also why you asked me to persuade Xi Kunlun to defect and to join forces with Wu Gang."

The figure nodded. "This is the only way out!"

"Wu Gang is a high-ranking immortal with deep ties to the human race and celestial beings. In addition, the fact that the human emperor's son cheated on his wife gives Wu Gang the moral high ground to yell at Qin Feng, and Qin Feng can do nothing about it."

"As for the branch of Xikunlun, they are the ones who are fighting against the ancestral temple of Yi! Yi abandoned his wife and left home to fight in the east and west, but his wife Chang'e survived and is now the second-in-command of Xikunlun."

"Chang'e is comparable to Yi, and Wu Gang is comparable to Qin Feng. Their fierce competition gave me the opportunity to make my move."

"If they don't fight, I'll be in a very passive position."

Wang Dao of Youzhou said, "By the way, I've invited Lord Xinling, the vice president of the foundation, to visit Youzhou as a guest this time. Would you like to meet him?"

"I won't see you!" the figure said coldly. "Qin Feng already suspects my existence! And Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, is the second-in-command of the foundation; you could even say he's Qin Feng's most loyal lackey!"

"Qin Feng sent his dogs to Youzhou to find me and tear me to pieces!"

"Never mention anything about me to Wei Wuji! And don't let Qin Feng become aware of my presence!"

"He's a real scoundrel. Knowing I existed, he dared to defy the world and come to my door to kill me!"

"By then, all that talk of 'winning half a move' or 'winning one move' will be nonsense! He'll crush me just like he crushed the soul of the Wude!"

"For guys like us, being exposed means defeat. Only by maintaining secrecy can we remain a fighting force."

"That's all for today's analysis! Don't act rashly during this period. I'll give you further guidance once Qin Feng makes a new move!"

"Take care of yourself!"

The figure turned and disappeared.

Just then, a voice came from outside the door, "Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

The King of Youzhou pondered for a moment, then readily and loudly proclaimed, "Quickly, invite him into the main hall!"

"Vice President Wei, how have you been?"

"Your Majesty, you're too kind! I'm no longer the vice president of the foundation!"
