Chapter 850: Chapter 201 The Second Generation Machine_1
"Enough, no need for such a hesitant demeanor."
Ye Xishui sternly said, "Remember, anyone from Shrek Academy can die, but Yan Shaozhe must not."
"I understand! I completely understand!"
Long Xiaoyao nodded incessantly.
Even at this moment, he couldn't contain his excitement.
"Whoever dares to touch Shao Zhe is seeking their own death!"
"But don't forget the purpose of your trip is to destroy Shrek Academy, which, in a sense, will put you in direct opposition to Yan Shaozhe," Ye Xishui felt that Long Xiaoyao was a bit too excited.
Her words indeed calmed Long Xiaoyao down considerably.
Yes.
My appearance will only make Shao Zhe suffer more.
He won't be happy to see me.
He might even hate me.
Isn't that the end of it? Long Xiaoyao's heart turned ice-cold in an instant.
Before even having the chance for a father-son recognition, they had suddenly become mortal enemies.
"Xishui, is there a possibility..."
Long Xiaoyao rubbed his hands awkwardly, "I mean, is there a chance for us to alleviate this awkward relationship?
Such as, this time I don't assist the Holy Spirit Cult in annihilating Shrek Academy?"
Without realizing it, he had started to care about this son he had never met.
But that was only natural.
"If you don't go, should I?" Ye Xishui said coldly, "Originally, my plan didn't include destroying Shrek Academy just yet.
But man's plans are no match for heaven's; that old man Mu En just had to die early. In that case, no one can be blamed.
As long as Shrek Academy is destroyed, Soul Land will inevitably fall into chaos. At that time, I'll have the Sun-Moon Empire send troops, and then the day when the Sun-Moon Empire unifies Soul Land will be at hand."
Ye Xishui's eyes were filled with radiance.
How could she not pursue what she had long yearned for?
After hesitating for a moment, Long Xiaoyao said, "It wasn't easy for Shao Zhe to become the dean of this academy. If Shrek Academy's foundation of over 10,000 years is destroyed in an instant, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the blow."
"How can one grow without experiencing setbacks? Besides, once the Sun-Moon Empire has unified Soul Land, and the Holy Spirit Cult takes the opportunity to seize the Sun-Moon Empire, then we can let Shao Zhe join the Holy Spirit Cult at that time. Wouldn't that mean we control the entire Soul Land?"
Ye Xishui spoke leisurely, "Think about it, becoming the ruler of the entire Soul Land is much better than being the head of a dilapidated academy, isn't it?
And you should also understand the significance of unifying Soul Land... above Level 99, if you want to make further breakthroughs, you should know what to do, right!"
"Hiss..."
Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but take a sharp breath upon hearing this.
In this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of Ye Xishui's words.
"So, you have such plans?"
He looked at Ye Xishui in shock.
"What about it?" Ye Xishui scoffed with disdain, "In my eyes, ordinary people are but pawns. You and I are pieces in the game..."
"The path to godhood relies solely on absorbing the power of faith to condense a godhood and become a true God. But since Tang San and the others from ten thousand years ago, no one has become a god in Soul Land. Do you know why?"
Long Xiaoyao said, "Because there's no lineage of godhood left on Soul Land."
"That's right, ten thousand years have passed, and the gods have not bestowed any new godhoods. Or rather, the gods who ascended from Soul Land didn't leave behind their legacy, because they didn't want to give up their godhood.
So, our path to godhood has been severed. But that doesn't mean we can't become gods... it's just much harder than before. What I want to do is to unite the continent's faith to create a God Rank powerhouse, a powerhouse who doesn't need the legacy of the gods!"
"Hiss!"
Long Xiaoyao took a deep breath upon hearing these words.
Ye Xishui wants to create a True God?
Just the thought was shocking.
"Shrek Academy stands above the three great Empires, maintaining balance, ensuring that no single power becomes too dominant. They also impose restrictions on the Sun-Moon Empire, so if the Empire wishes to dominate Soul Land, they must first eradicate Shrek Academy," Ye Xishui declared emphatically.
"I understand."
This time, Long Xiaoyao did not contradict her: "Don't worry, I will find a way to obliterate Shrek Academy without harming Shao Zhe."
Ye Xishui: "..."
Was it necessary to escalate a simple matter to such a high level of difficulty?
What was once on a normal level has now turned into hell level, is it worth it?
...
Several days later.
A brand-new Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device appeared in the laboratory of the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy.
"Thanks to everyone's help, I now announce the successful development of the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device Second Generation. It can currently be seen as a higher-grade soul tool formed by the combination of a large number of Rank 8 Soul Guidance Devices.
The core is a Rank 9 Energy Storage Array provided by Elder Kong, which can supply an enormous amount of Soul Power.
Currently, it is equipped with numerous Rank 8 Fixed Installment Soul Guided Cannons that can blast a Titled Douluo into smithereens with a single strike..." Qin Xiao introduced to the crowd.
Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and Ye Yulin, the three great Soul Master tycoons of the Sun-Moon Empire, gathered here.
Behind them was the rising talent Xuan Ziwen.
"Absolutely breathtaking, truly breathtaking," Xiao Hongchen admired.
Ye Yulin said, "I really want to experience piloting this Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device."
"Hehehe, just wait. Qin said this is the second generation and he anticipates that by the tenth generation, it might be possible for Soul Masters who are not strong in spiritual power to pilot such devices," Kong Deming huffed dismissively.
Tenth generation?
"How many years will that take!" Ye Yulin munched on his lips, asking very uncertainly.
Kong Deming spread his hands, "That's no use asking me, you should ask Qin."
"Uh..." He didn't know what to say for a moment.
The rest of the people also simultaneously turned their gaze towards Qin Xiao, their eyes filled with expectation and hope.
"Well... I know you all are eager, but don't worry, I've already planned for this..." Qin Xiao stroked his chin, thinking carefully before slowly saying, "If you're asking me how many years, I can't give you an exact number. I can only say... within my lifetime."
"???"
A forehead full of question marks appeared on everyone's faces.
What the hell kind of answer was that?
"Gentlemen, please calm down. Since Qin Xiao has mentioned letting us experience it within our lifetimes, then let's wait. Even if we get to play with a Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device right before we die, that would be quite thrilling, and life would be worth it," Jing Hongchen, the most accustomed to dealing with Qin Xiao, was also the quickest to calm down.
Hearing this, the others also felt there was some logic to it.
They nodded in agreement.
However.
At the next moment, a sentence from Qin Xiao directly breached their defenses.
"When I said within my lifetime, I meant my lifetime, not yours..."
