"Yes, your bloodline's constitution is very attractive to female cultivators when talking face-to-face! But it may also arouse suspicion."
“This part is also difficult to deduce accurately…” Da Huang Zhou said helplessly.
Little Wilderness Curse, whose computing power was relatively low, was still in the process of deduction and eagerly said, "Master, I'm almost done!"
Lin Ye raised her voice: "Leave it to me..."
"I've basically figured it out!"
Da Huang Zhou exclaimed in astonishment: "Really? So fast!"
"Master is still the best!" Little Wilderness Curse, without a trace of doubt, beamed with joy upon hearing this.
“However, the Heavenly Pillar God and the Earthly Pillar God represent all beings, so they are probably not the type that Master likes,” Xiao Huangzhou said.
"Humph."
Lin Ye didn't respond to that.
To be honest, it's a personal choice.
But if one cultivates oneself to the point of having an ordinary appearance, it's a bit of a shame from an aesthetic point of view.
Lin Ye soon received a message, an apology from the Human Pillar God.
She had probably carefully examined the results of the thousand simulations of the Great Wilderness Curse and discovered that many of the outcomes were due to her causing the relationship between Huanhai and the Imperial Palace to reach a freezing point, which was quite devastating for her.
It is not just a part of the Three Talents Formation.
The Human Pillar God is also the only sixth-grade array master in the Illusionary Sea and even the Eastern Divine Continent!
Among the three members of the Heaven, Earth, and Man group, who rely heavily on formations in combat, her importance goes without saying.
Huanhai and she are inseparable.
"Oh no, senior isn't going to run away..." Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.
"Don't worry... Let me think it over for a moment, and I'll find a better way to make it!" He remained completely calm.
When emotions fluctuate.
This is also the opportunity to break down the walls of the heart!
The Lin residence, backyard.
Lin Ye didn't need to search for him; the Human Pillar God had already found him.
She came up and took Lin Ye's hand, her eyes drooping.
"Young man... I want to go back."
Sensing the unusual behavior of the human pillar god, Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, but calmly asked, "Why?"
The lips of the human pillar god trembled slightly.
The man's eyes shone with a spiritual light, as if he could see right through me.
She no longer concealed anything. After taking a deep breath, she released Lin Ye's hand, took a few steps back, and said in a deep voice, "Not only did I look at the deduction process, but I also used the Jade Balance and saw the bad results."
"This is the only thing I can do."
"When I return to the Illusionary Sea, I will persuade them... When the Blood Calamity strikes again, I will bring them to support you! Then, after the great calamity, I will return to the Lin Manor..."
Just as the Human Pillar God had predicted, after he finished saying goodbye, a look of disappointment flashed across Lin Ye's face.
"Senior, I always thought we would never be separated."
Suddenly, her heart felt a tearing pain. She was worried that Lin Ye would misunderstand her departure as a sign that her two old friends held a higher place in her heart. No! It was just to calm things down...
I feel very sorry for this friendship that has lasted for thousands of years.
However, the human pillar god felt that it was only human nature to forget righteousness when faced with lust.
I don't want to be misunderstood!
If such a misunderstanding occurs, the thick, ambiguous barrier between her and Lin Ye may remain unbroken for a very, very long time.
Without thinking, she rushed forward, hugged Lin Ye tightly, closed her eyes, and gasped, "Young man, I'm sorry, I like you... I like you!"
Her voice was a little hoarse as she said the last sentence.
"Actually, even if it means breaking ties with them, I don't want to leave you..."
Lin Ye put his arm around the human pillar god's shoulder and pushed her away from his embrace.
Then, gazing intently at her, he said, "Senior, with this mindset, do you think you can still persuade those two?"
Lin Ye's words exposed the truth, and the Human Pillar God was stunned, as if a hint of disappointment could be found in his eyes.
Yes... if I'm no longer their best friend...
If she harbored such thoughts, they would surely notice. Once they realized they had lost the two people she had lost, how could they possibly listen to her? They would probably lock her up in the Illusionary Sea and not let her out!
But if I don't leave, won't this matter still remain unresolved? Those deductions...
He hadn't even completed the formation he desperately needed to combat the blood mist, let alone defy cause and effect...
The human-pillared god felt a wave of weakness and collapsed onto the jade steps beside him.
"I...can't do anything..."
She knew she was powerless and weak at this moment. She had the best and most proud Daoist partner and the most trusted friends, yet she had made a mess of everything.
All she knew was that she must have disappointed Lin Ye. Her weakness was no longer the senior he remembered... Suddenly, she caught a whiff of fragrance, and then her head was cupped in a pair of slender hands. She fell into his arms and immediately felt the vibrant fragrance of a blooming herb.
At that moment, her mind was blank; she couldn't think of anything. 8
She could only collapse into Lin Ye's arms, tilting her head back and closing her eyes, yet two streams of hot tears still flowed down her cheeks. 5
She seemed unwilling to part for even a second, turning to hug Lin Ye, sobbing uncontrollably: "I'm sorry... I don't want to leave... I love you... I'm sorry..."
She couldn't find the right words to express her love and inner turmoil; her words were fragmented and disjointed.
Lin Ye simply held him gently the entire time, without saying a word. 6
He would sometimes gently stroke her hair, and sometimes pat her back softly as she sobbed, as if he could completely accept everything about her. 3
Lin Ye had long known that the Human Pillar God was actually rather weak-willed, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of committing suicide... He felt it was nothing; a cultivator's mental state shouldn't be measured by their cultivation level or age.
But his calm and gentle reaction only made the pillar god more distressed. 4
She realized she was at a loss regarding the current situation; whether she left or stayed, she couldn't handle it properly...2
Having become such a disappointing senior, she feared that the thick barrier between herself and Lin Ye would remain unbroken... Thinking of this, she felt extremely distressed, and her arms around Lin Ye tightened even more.
"Please loosen your grip, senior, you're hurting me."
The human pillar god was startled and quickly released his grip, while Lin Ye also stood up at the same time.
He looked down at the human pillar god, his calm face devoid of any expression.
"Do you really think I'm more important than them?"
"Um...I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do..."
The human-shaped spirit didn't know if her feeble and powerless plea would be of any use; she murmured softly, her heart ashen.
But then, Lin Ye's fervent voice rang out, making her feel as if she had been reborn!
"So you're finally putting me first, sir? I thought you were really determined to go back..."
Lin Ye's teasing tone was relaxed and confident, as if the problem at hand was not difficult at all.
Can everything that's troubling me really be solved so easily? The human pillar god paused for a moment, then looked up sharply. She was stunned to see the moonlight flickering in the misty imperial pond... He stood alone by the railing, his eyes flashing coldly as he looked at her from the side, like steel.
The human pillar god's heart fluttered, thinking that Lin Ye must be confident.
"Young man... young man! What idea have you come up with?"
The human-shaped spirit quickly got up, stared blankly at him, and felt a strange sense of relief.
"Haha...we'll talk about it when we get home..."
"Hey... young man! Explain yourself first... wait for me!"
......
Regarding how to break the deadlock.
In reality, both the Great and Small Arajutsu and the Human Pillar God subconsciously believed that the negotiations would take place in a neutral location.
After all, this is a way for both sides to show mutual respect.
Negotiations involving the short-term or even long-term affiliation of Mahayana monks are very formal.
It's not safe to stay in anyone's house, so a neutral location will be chosen.
but...
If Lin Ye were to go to the Illusionary Sea alone for negotiations, the situation would be entirely different.
Preliminary negotiations are underway, but Lin Ye plans to ignore this process and find a good opportunity to take the Human Pillar God directly to the Illusionary Sea.
In any case, no formation could stop him from leaving using the Emperor's Blood.
Lin Ye remained calm. With his current strength, as long as he was well-prepared, even if the Heavenly Pillar God and Human Pillar God had the advantage of terrain, they would not be able to take him down by a sneak attack, at least not during the brief pre-cast animation of the Emperor Blood.
They were confident they could escape, having the ability to penetrate deep into enemy territory.
.......
"What, not enough manpower?"
Upon receiving Chu Lian'er's report, Lin Ye's heart sank.
Chu Lian'er nodded and said, "Not only are manpower insufficient, but funds and materials are also lacking... Not only the palace, but the Star Alliance also has a shortage. Just recently, two large mining areas of the Star Alliance were declared depleted."
"Ordinary cultivators can't play a significant role in the construction of core facilities in the Heavenly Realm. The popularization rate of cultivation arts during the Dark Ages was still too low." Chu Lian'er spread her hands.
"Moreover, after I took over, I found that the actual investment in the plan would be higher than initially envisioned."
"Overall, the funding and resources are slightly better, but if we want to complete the plan on time, there is a shortage of at least 30% of the skilled cultivators above the Foundation Establishment level."
"Okay, I'll think of something."
Lin Ye felt a little dizzy.
The arrival of the blood mist is time-limited; failing to complete the plan on time will be disastrous.
Each group brought its own food, while the palace only paid for its own infrastructure. Even so, there was still a shortfall. The high level of technology involved in the design resulted in high costs. Even the Star Alliance's major mining areas were depleted. It was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.
How about we get a little something from each of them?
However, we'll have to wait until more forces move in before we can really take advantage of them.
Don't scare people now.
Construction on the Heavenly Paradise site is in full swing, with almost every new entrant aiming to build a site that is even more powerful and luxurious than the original one.
The various factions have spent a considerable amount of money building super-large teleportation arrays and rebuilding their headquarters, so they must still have surplus food, but it's unlikely they'll give it away easily.
As for manpower... Lin Ye needs to think carefully about how to utilize the [Secret Puppet].
Even though this thing doesn't seem to be part of the Blood Calamity, its nature as a creation of a great calamity can't escape the eyes of cultivators.
How to explain the secret puppet's help in Lin Ye's participation in the construction is a significant question.
at night.
Lin Ye turned his gun around and suddenly brought the Human Pillar God to visit Huan Hai.
Originally, the specific time and place for the negotiations had not yet been decided, and no one expected him to come directly to their door! The Heavenly Pillar God and the Earthly Pillar God were greatly surprised, but they still prepared a banquet to welcome this young demon leader immediately.
During the meal, the human pillar god seemed somewhat uneasy.
But the Heavenly Pillar God and the Earthly Pillar God were even more excited:
He actually dared to come to Huanhai!
He couldn't possibly be unaware that the Illusionary Sea was the top-tier illusionary realm in the mortal world.
Under the influence of the Earth Pillar God, even a peak Mahayana cultivator would find it difficult to find the entrance if they wanted to hide.
He dared to venture deep into enemy territory alone; even the emperor of the Great Wilderness couldn't help him!
With the advantage of location, and even a celestial artifact, judging from Lin Ye's current strength data...
exactly.
