My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Lin Ye nodded: "If we obtain intelligence that connects the three eras, we might indeed discover that I am the one manipulating everything behind the scenes."

"Master, so I have decided to hide myself."

Lin Ye explained, "First of all, when the competition officially begins, I will completely restrict the flow of information between the three groups of spectators. Only the contestants will be able to communicate."

"The number of contestants will not be particularly large, and the amount of communication involving leaks will also be limited. In case of any problems, my Stealing Heaven Path can intercept and tamper with it."

Lin Ye said confidently.

Furthermore, in the era of the Giant Gods ten thousand years later, the Blood Calamity Demon will replace Lin Ye as the representative of the Wild God Cult, and he himself will not appear in public.

But in the Dark Ages...

Lin Ye said in a deep voice, "Soon, I will use the words of the [Saint of Creation] to 'reward' me with a period of time in the other two worlds."

"Then, they demanded that I join the enemy's side!"

The Lord of the Great Wilderness paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm... This explains Lin'er's position in the Three Realms Tournament, and why people from all sides recognize you. Stealing the Heavenly Dao only requires a few minor adjustments."

"However, how can we justify the Creation Saint's fury by punishing you by assigning you to another camp?"

"Wouldn't the cultivators on our side accuse you of offending the Creation Saint?"

Lin Ye shook his head and held up one finger: "There are many ways, it doesn't have to be because I offended the Creator Saint."

"This act of throwing me into the enemy's territory could be a punishment from the Creation Saint, who was disappointed with our group of cultivators' infighting during the praise-criticism debate..."

"Of course, it could also be a punishment for my overwhelming lead in total number of likes."

"In this way, the problem is shifted to the person who instigated my downfall."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Great Wilderness breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see, so they turned the tables on you and made it seem like the enemy cultivator who stepped on you was in the wrong!"

Lin Ye nodded: "Of course, staying behind the scenes is just the most basic thing; otherwise, I wouldn't have placed a bet at all." (9)

"Master, you must be very curious as to why I chose the 'dislike' and 'like' format to introduce the Creation Saint." Si

"In fact, this step itself is advantageous to me, and it's very discreet; it's a way to make a fortune quietly!"⑧

The Lord of the Great Wilderness asked curiously, "How do likes and dislikes benefit you? Tell me!"

Lin Ye said, "The importance of praise and criticism has been greatly underestimated by the enemy."

"Importance?"

"Not bad." San

Lin Ye recounted the story in detail. In fact, Lin Ye, who personally orchestrated this grand spectacle, paid more attention to the props within it than others, offering both praise and criticism. Zero

Lin Ye chose to introduce this concept because the cultivators of the Dark Ages were unfamiliar with ballots. 5

Without experiencing the Dharma-ending Age, an institution like the Star Alliance Supreme Council could not have been born in the cultivation world, which reveres the strong.

In the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, the concept of equality has no fertile ground to take root. So-called equality is simply seen by the strong as the jealousy and excuse of the weak.

This is precisely why the powerful figures of the Dark Ages, unfamiliar with the new phenomenon of voting, made grave misjudgments!

Lin Ye's gaze sharpened as he said, "They know the importance of votes, but they only see part of it, limiting themselves to using them against me."

"In reality, ballots represent individual interests."

"Master, what do you think its value is to an individual?"

A single vote, while important, is not actually that important. It is only when a large number of interests come together that an effective synergy can be formed.

But the ballot has a unique advantage...

Extremely engaging!

This is also the first time that a Qi Refining cultivator has been able to decide the fate of a powerful figure like Lin Ye.

The emergence of ballots has a significant impact on lower-level cultivators!

The people were naturally excited to be able to directly participate in the highest level of the cultivation world's power struggles.

I've never seen anything like this before...

To say that the votes they hold are that important to them wouldn't be that important, but they certainly have more presence than the powerful figures from the three continents imagine.

Lin Ye said quietly, "And the powerful figures from the three continents snatch votes from the masses as easily as kicking a dog away."

"In their eyes, stealing votes is probably no more than stealing a low-grade spirit stone."

"They don't realize to what extent coercing, or even resorting to killing, to force cultivators to change their voting preferences will erode their authority..."

A shadow crossed Lin Ye's face, and he revealed a malicious smile.

It's a useful tool!

The Lord of the Great Wilderness seemed to be deep in thought, and exclaimed in surprise, "Lin'er really thinks further ahead!"

"Furthermore, when the first vote count was announced, you had so many dislikes..."

"Upon seeing this, those cultivators who originally supported you but were forced to turn against you will probably be jolted awake from their slump."

"The shock and guilt I've received must be considerable!"

"The self-integration of the three continents has ironically led to the disintegration of people's hearts and minds..."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness suddenly realized, and said, "No wonder the cultivators of the Southern and Western Continents responded to Lin'er's call with just a few words; they have long been full of complaints!"

Lin Ye smiled and said, "The leader of the Magic Network Alliance is quite clever; he knows to offer some compensation while taking the votes."

"However, he still gave too little."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness beamed and said, "Who told them to be so poor right now?"

"Sigh, it's all because of this blood mist! But it has also given us an advantage!"

The one who could best understand Lin Ye's thoughts was actually the strongest being in the mortal realm, the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

She hit a wall at the very end of the rule of the strong, discovering that even the strongest version of herself was unable to ascend.

From then on, she became different from all the other powerful people, and became more willing to care about ordinary people.

That's why Lin Ye was able to talk to his master about it; no other powerful figure from the Dark Ages would have listened.

Besides, Master is the only one who knows about Lin Ye's plan.

The Lord of the Great Wilderness clenched his small fist and said, "The three continents now make it much easier for Lin'er to take over your dynasty's laws in the future!"

"Ready to make a move?"

"Ah... no, the Magic Network Alliance in the west is more difficult to deal with."

"Using that inferior imitation of the cursed 'Magic Net,' they've really smeared your name, Lin'er!"

The Lord of the Great Wilderness was furious when he heard this.

Lin Ye couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Master, what did they say about me?"

"They say that although you destroyed the Great Demon, you studied its power and became a new Great Demon..."

"It seems..." Lin Ye's smile widened, "and you're not wrong."

"..."

"Really?!"

The Lord of the Great Wilderness realized what was happening and burst into laughter, patting Lin Ye's shoulder repeatedly.

After all, Lin Ye was indeed as bad as they had imagined!

Lin Ye said calmly, "Master, there's really no need to worry too much."

"My image in the world has never been that of a perfect person. Cultivators have long said that I, as a rogue cultivator, usurped the imperial power of Demon Emperor Mountain... and even usurped the power of the Great Wilderness..."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness was very displeased upon hearing this, and his delicate, fair brows furrowed slightly.

"Pah! How dare they gossip about our family affairs!"

"As for that old man, didn't he agree? You even saved his life."

Lin Ye waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Master, don't mind them. It's just that they like to talk."

"I already have a flawed image, so I don't care if I get smeared again."

Lin Ye didn't say one more thing: in fact, cultivators in the Dark Ages were used to strong people advancing over corpses.

In people's minds, the stronger a person is, the greater their dark side should be! Just like the Lord of the Great Wilderness!

Lin Ye, the humanoid demon, actually fits the public's impression of him. It seems that this situation is ordinary and unremarkable, which is consistent with Lin Ye's strength.

Besides, he's already so strong; if he didn't have any problems, wouldn't that just make people jealous?

The situation is quite good now. With the world at large and the forces of three and a half continents besieging him, there are far fewer people who are jealous of Lin Ye.

Lin Ye said:

"Moreover, after the number of likes and dislikes is announced, even cultivators who firmly believe in the magic network will have doubts."

"If I really am the wicked demon that the magic website claims, why do I have the most likes in the world?"

"Especially in my hometown of Dongshenzhou, how could they actually overtake others in the second week?"

"Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would realize that the first week's votes were released so quickly and in an organized manner, while the second week's votes were mainly individual votes."

"And individual tickets best represent the general thinking in the cultivation world, in other words..."

Lin Ye said in a deep voice, "They will find that they have been kept in the dark."

Even the Lord of the Great Wilderness was so surprised that he fell silent for a moment.

My disciple's method of killing with one's heart is truly powerful!

However, she felt that using force was the most satisfying, and that political maneuvering was merely a supplementary measure.

Just as the Lord of the Great Wilderness was about to speak, Lin Ye said, "Our palace's army has now marched to Nanzhan Prefecture, and my avatar has also arrived. Master, you can rest assured."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness's eyes shone brightly.

"They've already called? That's so sudden!"

Lin Ye said with a smile, "The Holy City Lord has gone back on his word and torn up the alliance. Everyone in the world has seen it. Now is the best time to make a move!"

"Good, good!" Upon hearing that a battle was about to begin, the Lord of the Great Wilderness laughed with delight.

"correct..."

Suddenly, the Lord of the Great Wilderness had a flash of inspiration and summoned the Wilderness Curse.

Since Lin Ye returned from stealing the house, he has been looking for her, and they haven't paid any attention to what's happening outside.

After glancing at the message from the Wilderness Curse, the Lord of the Great Wilderness realized that, as Lin Ye had said, the City Lord of the Holy City had indeed denied the alliance.

The imperial palace immediately denounced the Holy City Lord for breaking the alliance, and said that the army had already reached the southeastern Tianyuan!

The Lord of the Great Wilderness was taken aback, blinking his long eyelashes.

She discovered that Lin Ye had anticipated the Holy City Lord's reaction long ago; he had planned everything in advance!

......

Not long ago, on the other side.

The leader of the Demon Network Alliance said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, Fellow Daoist Fu, it's time to catch the traitor!"

"right..."

The Holy City Lord nodded and said, "And what about those people, those who have already voted for or disliked Lin Ye..."

"Now that they've used up all their votes, they're no longer of any use to us."

The city lord of the Holy City spoke in a chilling tone.

The leader of the Demon Network Alliance hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Saint, it is not advisable to create unnecessary karma of killing."

"How could it be out of nowhere? Given the current situation, we must continue to apply pressure and squeeze out more votes in order to make a living."

The Holy City Lord's gaze was indifferent as he coldly said, "Wouldn't it be perfect to use these zombies without tickets as a sacrifice for the flag?"

The Heaven-Mending Immortal remained silent.

Spurred on by her incompetent teammate, she gradually became pessimistic.

I heard Lin Ye is very lecherous...
