Chapter 37 A Strategy to Break the Stalemate!
The crushing defeat on a spiritual level was like a bucket of ice water, completely sobering up the arrogant Xiao Fan.
He clutched his throbbing head, leaned against the cold wall, and gasped for breath.
Horror, anger, resentment, and a hint of fear that he himself was unwilling to admit were intertwined in his heart.
What kind of monster is that "ghost," that kid named Su Chen?
He not only possesses uncanny intelligence-gathering abilities, but also such terrifying mental strength!
His prized SS-rank "Imperial Flame Mechanical Heart" was utterly humiliated and easily crushed in his presence, like a joke.
For the first time, Xiao Fan felt a slight wavering in his belief that he was "destined by fate."
Calm down and start seriously reviewing the current situation.
In terms of raw power, he possesses SS-level superpowers and a soon-to-be-formed legion of mechanical beasts.
Logically speaking, he should already be at the top of this world.
But that "ghost" has the entire Dragon Kingdom as its backing, with manpower and resources at its disposal.
In terms of intelligence, they were completely outmatched and thoroughly exposed, with all their cards on the table being laid bare.
If this continues...
Xiao Fan came to a conclusion that made him extremely frustrated—the probability of losing was very high.
Even if he wins in the end, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.
By then, he will have exhausted all his strength, only to let others reap the benefits.
No!
Absolutely not!
Xiao Fan is destined to become the sole overlord of this era, how could he tolerate such a thing happening?
We must find a way to break this deadlock!
A solution that can completely break the current deadlock and settle the matter once and for all!
Xiao Fan frantically searched through his past life's memories in his mind, looking for any pawns and resources that could be used.
Names and forces flashed through his mind, only to be rejected one by one.
Those so-called survivor bases are nothing but a rabble and can't be relied on at all.
Those ancient sects hidden deep in the mountains and forests? He had come into contact with them in his previous life, but those old fogies were all arrogant and conceited, and getting them to take action was as difficult as climbing to heaven.
What other options are there?
Just as he was feeling troubled, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
He remembered!
In the previous life, during the later stages of the apocalypse, when the official power of the Dragon Kingdom gradually waned and the world fell into chaos with warlords vying for power.
He, "Emperor Yan" Xiao Fan, is not the only one who truly stands at the top of the pyramid!
Instead, it's a three-way balance of power!
Besides him, there are two other beings who also possess immense strength and formidable reputation!
One is the one who controls an endless sea of blood, with countless fearless blood slaves under his command.
Known for her ruthlessness and allure, Wu Jingyao is the "Blood Sea Empress"!
The other is a loner who believes in proving the truth through force.
With his iron fists, he was invincible throughout the world and was known as the "Human Calamity"—the "Primordial Martial Emperor" Mu Tianze!
The three of them were the true protagonists on the stage of the apocalypse in their previous lives!
Their relationship is incredibly complex, involving both cooperation and conflict.
But without a doubt, each one is a monster with incredible opportunities and terrifying strength!
In this life, due to the butterfly effect of rebirth, the entire course of the world has undergone tremendous changes.
Under the integration of that "ghost," the official power of the Dragon Kingdom has not weakened but has become unprecedentedly strong.
As for Wu Jingyao and Mu Tianze, these two powerful figures who should have risen to prominence in the chaos of war, there has been no news of them until now, as if they have vanished.
But Xiao Fan knew that they must still be alive!
With their luck and strength, it's absolutely impossible for them to die in such a small-scale beast tide in the early stages.
They must be hiding in some corner, just like me, silently accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to soar to the sky!
Correct!
That's them!
Instantly, an incredibly bright light burst forth in Xiao Fan's eyes!
If I can find them, I can persuade them to join forces with me!
Three major powers emerge simultaneously!
Let alone a small "ghost", what does it matter if it's the entire Dragon Kingdom?
This world is within easy reach!
Once this thought appeared, it was like wild grass that grew wildly and could no longer be stopped!
Xiao Fan suddenly stood up, all the frustration and dejection in his heart vanished, replaced by ecstasy and excitement at having found a way to break the deadlock!
"Ghost! Su Chen!"
"You just wait!"
"Once I've gathered all my 'teammates' from my past life, I'll see how you manage to fight me!"
He immediately opened the "bullet screen channel" that only reborn people could see, and issued the highest priority orders to his most trusted subordinates.
[Immediately! At all costs! Find these two people!]
[The "Blood Sea Empress" Wu Jingyao! This person is a woman, extremely alluring, whose supernatural abilities are related to blood. The last information about her appeared in the East China Sea region!]
[Mu Tianze, the "Primordial Martial Emperor"! This man is a martial arts fanatic, taciturn, extremely powerful, and skilled in fist techniques. The last known information about him is that he is in the deep mountains of Shu!]
Find them! Tell them! I, Emperor Yan, Xiao Fan, am willing to share the world with them! Invite them to join me in this great undertaking!
……
The capital city, the command center.
Su Chen rubbed his throbbing temples; the mental battle he had just had taken its toll on him.
He picked up the hot tea that Qin Bing had just brewed for him, ready to take a break.
Suddenly, the barrage of comments started refreshing wildly.
He immediately noticed the bolded and highlighted commands that Xiao Fan had posted.
"Wu Jingyao?"
"Mu Tianze?"
Su Chen looked at the two names that were both familiar and unfamiliar, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Of course he knew those two people.
In his previous life, he was a struggling, low-level superhuman who was barely surviving, but he had heard a lot about the "glorious deeds" of these three overlords.
It could be said that the apocalypse of the previous life was a stage play by these three people.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan, who had been driven to the brink of despair, remembered to go find his "old buddy" from his previous life.
"Tsk tsk, now you're thinking of finding help?"
Su Chen smiled.
"What a pity..."
"I know both of them."
No, it should be said that Su Chen "knew" more than Xiao Fan.
Su Chen put down his teacup and turned to Elder Long, who had just walked in.
"Elder Long, please help me access the top-secret list of 'S-level potential talents' in the 'Fire Seed Project'."
Although Elder Long had some doubts, he immediately did as instructed.
Soon, an encrypted electronic list appeared on the screen in front of Su Chen.
This list is a pool of top talents with the greatest potential to awaken S-level superpowers, selected by the Dragon Kingdom Academy of Sciences using various cutting-edge technologies from around the world.
It is the very core of the entire "Spark Project"!
Su Chen's finger slid lightly across the screen.
He stopped very quickly.
On the screen, two names were prominently displayed!
[Name: Wu Jingyao. Potential Assessment: S-rank. Special Abilities: Life Energy, Blood Control.]
[Current location: Blood Shark Island, East China Sea. Note: Extremely dangerous temperament; observation is advised; avoid contact for now.]
[Name: Mu Tianze. Potential Assessment: S-Rank. Special Abilities: Biofield, Extreme Physical Fitness.]
[Current location: Back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan. Note: Reclusive and extremely xenophobic; three failed attempts to contact them; giving up is recommended.]
Looking at the list, Su Chen's smile grew even brighter.
Xiao Fan thought he was going to search for a needle in a haystack.
But what he didn't know was that the person he was looking for had already been thoroughly dealt with by his own "Skynet" system.
This is the information gap!
This is a classic example of dimensional reduction attack!
"Elder Long."
Su Chen turned his head and looked at Elder Long, who had a puzzled expression, his eyes more serious than ever before:
"If Xiao Fan wants to muddy the waters, then we need to be one step ahead of him."
"It's time to bring out some sleeping tigers."
"I'm prepared to go there myself!"
