Chapter 634 -634: Wanted Criminal Neola

“`

Having returned to the world of the Sea King Empire, Lin Xiao voluntarily resigned from his military position and was temporarily appointed as the honorary position of Chief Adviser to the Empire.

At first, he was very busy, with various envoys secretly meeting with him every day, but their intentions were largely the same, consisting of probing, various alliances, and offers to serve him, among others.

Initially, he had the leisure to receive them, but as time went by, he saw that their intentions were all the same, and with little patience, he drove them all away.

With his current strength, he could drive them away as he pleased without anyone daring to object.

Since he formed his True Body for the first time, the whole Sea King Empire’s attention converged on him, forming a colossal vortex with him at the center.

...

The Sea Emperor’s wariness, the ambitions of the many Sea Kings, and the varied thoughts of numerous imperial forces were just a few among an assortment of concerns.

But this is the reality of human affairs: when a second figure capable of contending with the Dominator emerges within an empire, various ambitious schemers start to surface.

The Sea King Empire has always valued strength above all; the reason why one becomes the Sea Emperor is not because they are descendants of the empire’s founder but rather because each Sea Emperor is a Sixth Level powerhouse who can suppress all other Sea Kings, coupled with the fact that their origin – the Dragon Whale Clan – has an abundance of strong individuals, making it impossible for other races to contend.

Now, with Lin Xiao suddenly emerging as a powerful figure who had formed his True Body once, certain conspirators with ambitions believed they saw an opportunity and grew restless.

However, Lin Xiao gave them no chance. Without a second word, he withdrew from the Gray Crow World, actively resigned from his original military post, drove away all the envoys of various forces, and continued to live in seclusion without concerning himself with worldly affairs. In doing so, he was signaling to the Sea Emperor that he had no other intentions.

It wasn’t that he was a coward afraid of something; to Lin Xiao, the so-called position of the Sea Emperor held no significance.

Ruling over a vast empire with numerous colonial worlds was something he would engage in only if he had nothing better to do. He was not native to this world and had no aspirations for its throne.

His actions soon elicited a response from the Sea Emperor. After communicating with the Sea Emperor’s envoy, he remained the Chief Envoy of the Empire, but he had privileges equivalent to the commander of the main imperial legions. In other words, he had no need to struggle with leading a legion or do anything else. Still, he would receive a massive subsidy from the empire every month.

Plainly speaking, as long as he didn’t cause trouble, the empire was willing to spend a great deal of money to maintain him, a living Buddha.

It turned out to be a happy resolution for both sides: the Sea Emperor was relieved, and Lin Xiao had his peace.

For Lin Xiao, rather than getting involved in these cunning power games, it was better to continue exploring the strength of his True Body.

With the first successful formation of his True Body, the next step was to form the second True Body.

The first True Body is generally around Rank 6, varying in strength depending on the quality of the formation, but all on this level. The second True Body, however, is based on the first True Body, combined with the wielder’s own powers, mastering an appropriate Rule to infuse into the True Body, thereby causing earth-shattering changes.

Generally speaking, the second True Body directly transcends the Rank 7 stage and enters the Rank 8 tier, with the lowest being equivalent to Medium Divine Power. If the True Body formed is strong enough, it could potentially leap straight into one of the more powerful ranks within Rank 8, amounting to a leap to Powerful Divine Power.

For someone like Lin Xiao, with very high-ranked Innate Titan Ancient God origins, once he could form his second True Body, it would assuredly be among the top, and his combat power would be comparable to someone with Powerful Divine Power.

However, forming the second True Body was extremely difficult; even though his True Body had already formed the Body of Titan Ancient God, it was not the second True Body, but merely an embryonic form.

But then again, having formed an embryonic version of the second True Body was a good thing. Among the two main challenges to forming the second True Body, he had already overcome one. All that remained was to find a suitable Rule to integrate into his own system of power.

It is worth mentioning that the many Godhoods he held within his True Body could not replace the Rules; he had to use the Rules of the Wizard World.

Since the second True Body he was forming belonged to the system of the Wizard World, using the Rules from a different world’s system would be like using an imperial sword of the former dynasty to execute officials of the current dynasty; it simply would not be compatible.

In the following days, Lin Xiao’s daily task was to communicate with himself, constantly drawing on the original strength that had descended into the Wizard World and was repressed by the will of the Wizard World all the way into his True Spirit. He gradually integrated this power, seeking to become whole once more.

Lin Xiao estimated that once the power of his True Body and the power refined within the Wizard World were fully merged, his own strength would reach the peak of Rank 7, just one step away from Rank 8.

But this process would take a considerable amount of time, probably several hundred years.

“`

Of course, being able to steadily ascend to a peak Rank 7 in just a few hundred years is quite outrageous for the natives of this world. The Sea Emperor, for example, despite having lived for a few thousand years and owning a vast empire with infinite resources, has yet to break through that step.

Days and nights passed, and time flew by.

As Lin Xiao faithfully stayed within his own territory without going out at will, many of the empire’s ambitious schemers who were initially eager to watch a spectacle gradually quieted down, and the empire returned to tranquility.

In the following times, this massive empire returned to its original state and continued to conquer other worlds.

But all these had nothing to do with him. Even if they encountered some worlds so strong that several legions couldn’t take them down, it was the same. According to the initial agreement with the Sea Emperor, in exchange for not causing trouble, Lin Xiao could choose whether or not to take action. If he was unwilling, they couldn’t force him, nor could they dock what he was due.

Lin Xiao had been adhering to this point all along. In over a hundred years, he had taken less than ten trips out for travel, which was even more reclusive than the Sea Emperor.

Although he rarely went out, Lin Xiao was well-informed about the happenings within the empire. He always knew when the empire opened a teleportation array to attack other worlds, or if something major happened within the empire. He simply never cared, even when the empire’s pursuit of a fugitive who had been wanted for thousands of years passed nearby, he didn’t pay any attention.

It was said that thousands of years ago, the empire accidentally connected to a super powerful world, and an exotic being pursued by a super strongman of that world entered the Sea King World through a teleportation array. Although the world consciousness of the Sea King World strongly repelled the super strongman from entering this world, the Sea Emperor at the time took this matter to heart and sent the empire’s powerhouses to capture the fugitive in an attempt to please that supreme being.

It’s a pity that the fugitive named Neola was not only very powerful, but his abilities to escape and hide were also incredibly strong. He could take over the bodies of other living beings to conceal himself. Thousands of years had passed, and not only had he not been caught, but the empire had also lost a large number of elites.

Since the Chief Hunter’s disappearance while pursuing the shadow dragon Vincent a thousand years ago, there had been no trace of Neola for several hundred years. It wasn’t until recently that he reappeared, having infiltrated the empire using Vincent’s appearance to steal a treasure, igniting the Sea Emperor’s fury and ordering a kingdom-wide manhunt. Yet, he remained uncaptured.

Lin Xiao had faintly sensed an almost imperceptible presence passing by the island where he was in seclusion. It was probably that wanted criminal called Neola, but the presence only lingered for a moment near the island before leaving.

Probably sensing his presence, Neola didn’t dare to enter, which also indicated that the strength of this exotic strongman named Neola had not reached Rank 6, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so cautious.

Since he didn’t come in, of course, Lin Xiao wouldn’t actively run out after him. A mere fugitive, as long as he didn’t come to provoke Lin Xiao, there was no interest in making the effort; it would be better to spend that time recovering a portion of his strength.

One should know that in a hundred years, his strength had recovered a substantial part, and he was about to step into Rank 7 at any moment. Once he crossed into that transformative level distinct from those below Rank 6, he would truly be free to soar the seas and fly the skies, going wherever he wished.

In the days of old, a Rank 7 Dragon Whale in the Sea King World was able to create a vast empire that has continued to this day and also launch expeditions to conquer other worlds. Without talking about creating any great forces, Lin Xiao could completely rely on his own ability to leave the Sea King World and wander the void, freely entering and leaving most worlds by his own power.

Lin Xiao had already decided that once his true body’s strength was fully merged with his first true body, he would leave the Sea King World and go to other worlds in search of his opportunities.

For him at that time, the Sea King World was too small. He wished to consolidate a second true body and had to venture to those top worlds.

For now, he continued to bide his time!

In the CY-00801 Crystalline System, Underground World, within the God Country of the Ground Dwellers and the God of Darkness.

The Ground Dwellers and the God of Darkness sat high upon the throne of the gods, with many subordinate gods below, divided into two parts. One part was the conquered indigenous gods: the God of Ogres Sencock, the Wilderness God Noel, the Minotaur and Guardian God Jonila, the Zoel and God of Plunder Dominic, the Assassin God Marcus, the Grey Dwarf and God of Forging Bhrum, the Ground Dweller and Reptile God Heimur, and the Lord of Darkness Mond.

The other part consisted of the followers of the Giant God Combat Team, who had descended over the past two hundred years and been consecrated as gods with his help.

They were the God of War and Victory, the God of Seasons and Climate, the God of Laws, the God of Agriculture and Harvest, the God of Wisdom and Knowledge, the God of Craftsmen and Forging, the God of Merchants, the God of Fertility and Reproduction, and the God of Healing and Purification—a total of eight gods, all with Weak Divine Power.

Since defeating the former Lord of Darkness and unifying the entire Dark Territory more than two hundred years ago, the Dark Territory under the rule of the Ground Dwellers and the God of Darkness had entered a phase of rapid development.

The various underground races, under the mediation of the Gods in the Divine System, gradually put aside their hatreds and coexisted harmoniously, leading to a significant increase in population, which in turn provided the gods with a continual supply of Divine Power. Among them, the Zoel and God of Plunder Dominic, and the God of War and Victory, with their respective Godhood, were the most powerful, being the first to ascend to Medium Divine Power and the only two in the Divine System with Medium Divine Power, besides the Main God.

In addition to this, all other subordinate gods had surpassed Fifth Level, possessing weak Divine Power.

Furthermore, with the God Level already reaching Rank 14 and the Main God being just one step away from Powerful Divine Power, ready to step into it at any moment, the entire Dark God System had become very strong.

At this time, the first race of the Dark Territory was no longer the Zoel Elves, but the fifth generation of Cave-dwellers.
