King of Assassins-Chapter 692 - 518: Investiture of the Gods

The Divine Platform is an underground palace built deep underground, housing a super Light Computer, which is also the data center of the Glory Company.

The super Light Computer covers tens of square kilometers. It is located deep within the underground Ice Sea. This Ice Sea is vast, covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and the water temperature remains constant at three to four degrees year-round.

Cooling the database naturally through the Ice Sea can save countless expenses. The underground Ice Sea is also sufficiently secretive.

On the other hand, the underground Ice Sea can maximally shield Source Power.

This is extremely important. Without Source Power, Spiritual Power invasion can be avoided. This way, invasions by other powerhouses can be prevented as well.

The Liu Family has studied for a long time but still didn't understand the essence of how the Ice Sea forbids Source Power.

The seawater is just ordinary seawater, without any special components. Yet the Ice Sea by itself has the effect of inhibiting Source Power.

Such a special Ice Sea is naturally the absolute secret of the Liu Family. Even someone of Liu Jin's status doesn't know about this.

The Golden Powerhouses can dominate the Star River, relying on Source Power. Without Source Power, even a regular Gauss Gun could take down Gao Xuan.

However, Golden Powerhouses are exceedingly perceptive. They can sense the Source Power anomaly of the Ice Sea from afar. Moreover, Golden Powerhouses can sense danger in advance.

Using the Divine Platform to deal with Gao Xuan is not that easy.

If the matter is exposed, the Liu Family would be in danger.

No one expected that Liu Yun, who usually handles things gently, would propose such a radical plan.

Everyone in the meeting room fell silent.

Frankly speaking, Liu Yun's proposal is very tempting. As long as Gao Xuan falls into the trap, he can be easily dealt with.

The problem is, what if it fails?

Liu Feng thought for a moment and then shook his head immediately: "No, it's too risky. We can't gamble the lives of the entire family. We haven't reached that point with Gao Xuan yet."

No matter what Gao Xuan wants, as long as negotiations are possible, Liu Feng feels there's no problem.

But once swords are drawn, there's no more room for discussion between the parties.

Liu Feng naturally has a large think tank under his command, studying every action of Gao Xuan ten times over.

They have made many judgments on Gao Xuan's character, preferences, and aesthetics. Moreover, most of their speculations have been validated.

According to the think tank, Gao Xuan is ruthless in his methods, but he's very rational and conducts himself with discretion.

As long as he is willing to talk, then matters can be negotiated.

Based on such assessments, Liu Feng is ready to humble himself to please Gao Xuan.

Now Liu Yun proposes to kill Gao Xuan, which seriously deviates from Liu Feng's thinking.

Yet Liu Yun remained calm: "Gao Xuan is unfathomable, no one knows what he wants. If we continue to be weak, he might swallow us whole, not leaving a trace. With a chance to fight, why await a doomed outcome?"

"It's not about awaiting demise, but retreating and yielding to wait for an opportunity."

Liu Feng shook his head: "Without knowing the opponent's strength and weaknesses, going all out is not something I would do."

The other elders couldn't hold back, and they all expressed their opposition.

Liu Feng was right in this respect, betting everything without knowing Gao Xuan's strengths and weaknesses was indeed reckless.

Only those at the end of their rope would fight to the death.

With their deep heritage, they can afford to wait and endure, there's no need for desperation.

Liu Yun also knew it was difficult to convince Liu Feng and the others, so she respectfully asked Liu Ye: "Elder Ye, what do you think?"

"What do I think?"

Liu Ye looked deeply at Liu Yun: "This little girl of yours does have a bit of courage."

He smiled and asked: "Do you have any specific plan?"

Liu Ye, known as the Red Emperor Sword, has a tough personality. If Liu Yun's plan is well-prepared and there's a high likelihood of success, he could give it a try.

Liu Yun confidently said: "Of course, I have a detailed plan. To deceive Gao Xuan, the most important thing is to block his Perception. I happen to have a Five Blessings Order."

As she spoke, she took out a dark green Jade Token, engraved with five black bats. The front bore four large characters: 'Five Blessings Upon the Door.'

"This Five Blessings Order can enhance a person's fortune. With this in hand, you will definitely win in a casino."

Liu Yun said, "This is a powerful marvel that can change a person's fate. On the other hand, because of its strength, it is also enough to obscure any powerhouse's intuition."

The powerful force of the Five Blessings Order can bring continuous good fortune. Such a strong interference with destiny actually, in essence, disrupts the opponent's fortune.

Even if a powerhouse has strong intuition about their own destiny, being forcibly altered by the Five Blessings Order will naturally distort their intuition.

The strongest aspect of the Five Blessings Order is that it benefits people immensely. Such a gain is hard to be noticed by intuition.

Liu Yun said calmly: "With the Five Blessings Order, we can bring Gao Xuan into the Divine Platform. Everything that follows will be simple."

Liu Ye pondered for a moment before saying: "It is indeed a well-conceived plan. The chance of success is very high."

Using the Five Blessings Order in this way could indeed be considered ingenious. Not knowing about the Five Blessings Order, Gao Xuan would easily fall into the trap.

Liu Yun took out an ancient-looking double-scroll painting, and when she unfurled it, everyone saw that it was completely blank, with nothing on it.

"What is this?" Liu Feng asked curiously.

"This is the Investiture of the Gods." Liu Yun explained.

"The Investiture of the Gods?"

Liu Ye received the blank scroll. The material of the scroll was very special; it looked like rice paper, but was actually very flexible, with a texture somewhat like sheepskin, yet far tougher than sheepskin.

Having lived for fifteen hundred years, Liu Ye had never heard of this thing. With his sharp eyes, he couldn't tell what use it had.

However, this was quite normal.

The cosmos is too vast, and strange marvels that completely defy the laws of reality cannot be fathomed by common sense.

Liu Yun explained, "The Investiture of the Gods can make someone a god. As long as, through a special ceremony, a person's name is written on it, they can become a god."

"Is there such a good thing?" One elder asked, filled with doubt.

In the past three thousand years, countless powerhouses stood at the Super Tier peak, yet none were able to break through to divine status.

Many powerhouses believed that humans, due to the limitations of their life form, could absolutely not become gods.

Writing a name on a blank scroll to become a god seemed too easy to believe.

Liu Yun chuckled, "Of course, it's not that easy. The Investiture of the Gods naturally has its harsh conditions for divine enthronement. These conditions are immutable. Only those who meet the conditions qualify to become gods."

"And what are those conditions?" An elder asked eagerly.

Liu Yun shook her head, "The Investiture of the Gods is mysterious and unpredictable. I don't even know what the conditions for divine enthronement are."

The elder, somewhat disappointed, asked, "Then what's the use of the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Write Gao Xuan's name on the Investiture of the Gods. Since he cannot meet the conditions for divine enthronement, the powerful forces of the Investiture of the Gods will distort his fate."

Liu Yun said, "With these two marvels distorting Gao Xuan's fate, even if he has heaven-reaching abilities, he won't be able to detect our schemes."

After Liu Yun finished speaking, everyone looked towards Liu Ye. Liu Feng was of a weak character and could not be relied on to make decisions at such crucial moments.

"This is of great importance. Let me think about it."

Liu Ye thought for a moment and said, "What happens if the name of an ordinary person is written on the Investiture of the Gods?"

"The person will think they have become a deity and soon turn into a madman, eventually going insane and dying."

Liu Yun said indifferently, "This process is very fast. Ordinary people can only last a day. A Silver Sword Hero can last thirty days. A Golden Powerhouse, at least several decades."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts; this thing was too insidious. Without doing anything, just writing a name would slowly drive a person mad. It's simply impossible to guard against.

An elder asked, "Is there no restriction?"

"It should be countered by some marvels."

Liu Yun said, "That isn't important. What's important is that the Investiture of the Gods can distort a person's fate. For a powerhouse, once he loses control over fate, he becomes extremely vulnerable."

"Enough."

Liu Ye waved his hand, "You all go out first, I need to think."

He then said to Liu Yun, "Leave this thing here, I want to study it."

The people in the conference room had mixed expressions. Liu Feng hesitated to speak, Liu Yun remained calm and composed, and the other elders had complex expressions.

Clearly, Liu Ye had no intention of consulting with everyone. They could only leave the conference room.

As for Liu Jin, who had been watching throughout, she hadn't heard anything. From the moment Liu Yun began speaking, she entered a dreamlike state.

It wasn't until she left the conference hall that Liu Jin suddenly snapped back to reality. She felt a bit guilty for zoning out in the conference room, especially in front of the Patriarch, Liu Yun, and other powerhouses. It was so embarrassing.

Liu Yun was quite kind to Liu Jin. She smiled and said to her, "Hosting Gao Xuan is of utmost importance, it's been hard on you this time..."

Receiving praise from her idol, Liu Jin was a bit excited. "I will definitely do my best. No mistakes at all."

"Very good."

Liu Yun said, "Seeing the younger generation of the family being so outstanding comforts me. In the future, the heavy burden of the family will rest on you..."

Liu Yun encouraged Liu Jin with a few words before leaving with her attendants.

Liu Jin was left hot-blooded and excited for quite a while before she could barely calm down.

At this moment, Liu Feng came over to instruct, "Don't worry about other things, just take good care of Gao Xuan."

"Yes, yes."

Even though Liu Jin thought the Patriarch was a bit weak, he was still the head of the family, so she behaved with even more respect.

After leaving Conference Room Three, Liu Jin found a room to rest for a standard hour. When she opened her eyes again, she took a cold shower, and her whole spirit was immediately refreshed.

Liu Jin looked at herself in the mirror, patting her delicate cheeks, and cheering herself on, "Go Liu Jin, strive to climb into Gao Xuan's bed tonight..."
