Chapter 193 Calculation and Counter-calculation
Moreover, these undead had excellent spiritual power before their death.
For Yang Yourong, they were a great supplement.
However, with Yang Yourong's current realm, even if she ate all the undead in the ruins, it wouldn't be enough for her to advance. She needed more undead, but undead were a rare thing. Although wild ghosts, corpse kings, and necromancers could produce them, it took a lot of time and energy for necromancer-type monsters to cultivate a high-level undead.
So, these high-level undead were hard to come by.
After all, it was a setting where ghosts feared humans.
For example, Yang Yourong now had the strength to match a second or third tier powerhouse, but if she were to assassinate a second tier early stage powerhouse alone, she would be at a loss unless Lin Chen cooperated with her.
Some people were just timid by nature.
And the undead were set to be as timid as a mouse.
This was quite in line with traditional ghost theories.
In the beginning, ghosts were caused by the souls of people. At first, ghosts feared people, but as more legends spread, people feared ghosts through hearsay.
Ghosts feared yang energy.
Even more so, they feared baleful aura!
And baleful aura was especially abundant in humans, other races, and especially in demon beasts.
Therefore, Lin Chen was very powerful.
What about Yang Yourong?
As a Ghost Emperor, she wasn't weak either.
But to this day, Lin Chen only used Yang Yourong as a treasure to increase his sea of souls, and he wouldn't easily let her go out to solo kill.
After all, if something went wrong and she was killed, it wouldn't be worth it.
Re-cultivating a Ghost Emperor would require the yin souls of so many living beings!
Interestingly, when Lin Chen returned to the Human Alliance camp, he actually ran into Bran Madeng.
He seemed to have recovered some of his senses, but he was still a bit muddled. However, when he saw Lin Chen, he immediately ran away, shouting, "Ah, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
It felt…
Like this kid was a little pitiful.
However, as the saying goes, there must be something hateful about someone who is pitiful!
Centaurs weren't human.
They were half-human.
Which meant they were even less of a thing!
Lin Chen quietly followed him and saw Bran Madeng run to the alliance camp of the Great Sun Golden Crow and the Myriad King Peacock. Through the firelight, Lin Chen used his powerful soul perception to observe the situation in the camp from a great distance.
Soul perception had a coverage range.
This range depended on the size of the sea of souls.
Just like the self-worlds of gods could overlap each other, the size of the sea of souls and the soul power determined the suppression and devouring ability of two self-worlds when they clashed.
The big ate the small.
The strong suppressed the weak.
And soul perception was the same.
The same principle…
If Lin Chen's soul perception reached far enough, then he could perceive the situation inside the camp, and the powerhouses in the camp wouldn't be able to detect him unless their sea of souls was larger than Lin Chen's.
This was also why the gods felt a chill when Lin Chen glanced at them…
He was a god!
Lin Chen's sea of souls could actually detect his peeping?
How could that be? He was a fourth tier peak god!
This meant that the size of Lin Chen's sea of souls was actually about the same as his.
And that was indeed the case.
Lin Chen's current sea of souls was indeed not weaker than a fourth tier peak.
It was about to break five hundred thousand.
And five hundred thousand was another threshold!
But…
Lin Chen didn't feel that there was any threshold.
Inside the tent, Yang Yan Ye asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you saw a dead spirit with him?"
"Yes, that dead spirit is a Ghost Emperor… I'm sure Lin Chen has a lot of secrets!" Bran Madeng didn't look crazy at all at this time.
He was clearly very awake!
Lin Chen immediately understood…
Damn it!
This kid was acting?
Okay, so he was acting in front of him?
He looked around.
Then, he looked at his skills.
Everything else was good.
Except that the Demonic Heavenly Thousand Blade Slash was on cooldown.
At this time, Yang Yan Ye said again, "I've already asked everyone to be careful… For the time being, don't spread this matter. Lin Chen can cut through divine thought power, so we just need to find a way to force him to use that slash."
"How to force him?" Bran Madeng asked.
"Hehe, aren't there still a few simpletons in the Kuafu tribe? Tomorrow, we'll go to Lin Chen and the others, and then trick one of them into using divine thought power to see if Lin Chen will use his slash… You're sure he only has that one slash, and after he uses it, the slash will be on cooldown for five minutes, right?" Yang Yan Ye asked.
Bran Madeng nodded and said, "Yes, five minutes, I've been calculating it."
"Then it's fine. When the time comes, we'll have five minutes to use divine thought power together… However, don't let the Myriad King Peacock tribe know about this plan, especially Ming Huang. She's very smart. Don't let us work so hard to plot, and in the end, all of Lin Chen's treasures will be cheaper for her!"
Yang Yan Ye and Bran Madeng were actually plotting against Lin Chen.
Lin Chen found it funny.
So, he smiled contemptuously.
Did these two overestimating fellows really think they were invincible with divine thought power?
They even didn't want the Myriad King Peacock tribe's Princess Ming Huang to know because they were afraid she would share the spoils… Okay, Lin Chen thought for a while, and a plan formed in his mind.
"Okay, tomorrow at around nine o'clock in the morning, the cooldown of the Demonic Heavenly Thousand Blade Slash will be over! Then, I'll give you a surprise! It'll save me the trouble of going to kill you. I'll just let you come and give me experience!"
Lin Chen was happy.
His Demonic Heavenly Thousand Blade Slash had been used on the Cyclops.
He had used it as soon as he entered the ruins.
It was currently on cooldown.
Although the cooldown of the Demonic Heavenly Thousand Blade Slash on the God-Demon Ancient Skyfall was 12 hours, the cooldown from the previous use would not change.
There were still eight hours of cooldown left, just enough for Lin Chen to go back and sleep.
He went back.
Anyway, Yang Yan Ye would bring his team to give him away, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Even on the way back, Lin Chen was thinking about whether there was a way to make Yang Yan Ye and the others bolder.
For example…
Ming Huang wasn't here.
Then, Lin Chen was surrounded by them alone.
That would be great!
Wouldn't it?
If Ming Huang wasn't here, no one would snatch the spoils.
Yang Yan Ye would definitely want to take down Lin Chen!
"That's it. Tomorrow morning, I'll find two nearby steles and pretend to go there alone to solve the puzzles!"
Lin Chen made up his mind.
He didn't think too much about the remaining Myriad King Peacock tribe.
He didn't mind either.
Could Sun Lingming, A Niu, and Delgas not be able to deal with a few peacocks?
That would be too bad!
He had a good night's sleep.
When Lin Chen woke up, he began to gather everyone… You all continue to solve the stone tablets together, but leave one person to take turns guarding the area, and then I'll go to the outer area… Remember, no matter what happens, you must stay together and not leave this area!
Lin Chen instructed.
Then, he went to the nearby stele forest alone.
Lin Chen was calculating the time.
It was only eight o'clock now.
There was no hurry.
He also solved the puzzles for a while, at least to make it look like he was doing it.
At half past eight, Lin Chen sensed that Bran Madeng had appeared.
But he was alone, and he was really sneaky, pretending to be crazy and scouting everywhere. Lin Chen deliberately led him over…
Lin Chen even deliberately led Bran Madeng to the nearby stele forest.
Then Bran Madeng retreated.
At a little after nine o'clock, the cooldown of Lin Chen's Demonic Heavenly Thousand Blade Slash was over.
The plan went as Lin Chen had expected…
The current situation was that the three-tribe alliance of the Great Sun Golden Crow tribe, the Myriad King Peacock tribe, and the Kuafu tribe, and the Human Alliance camp led by Lin Chen, basically ruled the entire ruins together.
It was only the second day.
The weaker races now had only the western part of the ruins left for survival.
Among them, the sea tribes, such as the Canglong and Blue Whale elders, were also active in the west. After all, Lin Chen and the others were there, but this time the sea tribe powerhouses were only responsible for solving puzzles and taking rewards, and they didn't intend to participate in the war.
Lin Chen could understand.
There were also some weaker races, such as the emperor and empress of the unicorns, who could naturally get some rewards under the protection of the human race. After all, they had even offered their daughter for Lin Chen to ride.
Actually, Lin Chen was quite good.
Looking at other places!
Yang Yan Ye and Ming Huang didn't solve the puzzles themselves, nor did they let other races solve them. They directly cleaned them up, forcing many weak races to withdraw helplessly. Among them, there were also some pseudo-god realms.
Under the threat of divine thought power, these pseudo-god realms could only accept it.
Withdrawing, at least they could save their lives.
Under such circumstances, Yang Yan Ye would naturally propose to directly attack the west. He had received the information brought back by Bran Madeng. Now Bran Madeng was almost Yang Yan Ye's lackey…
There was no way, this was also a situation where the situation was stronger than people.
Yang Yan Ye then said to Ming Huang, "Now is a good opportunity. We'll lead people to ambush the isolated Lin Chen. As long as Lin Chen is dead, the Human Alliance will definitely collapse! But the problem is, there must be a few powerhouses to block the Human Alliance camp and prevent them from supporting Lin Chen… Ming Huang, can the three of you do it?"
"Give us two more Kuafu tribe powerhouses, and we might be able to give it a try!"
Ming Huang wasn't timid… Actually, what she was worried about was only Lin Chen.
She wasn't afraid of the other powerhouses of the Human Alliance who didn't have divine thought power.
What about Lin Chen?
He also didn't have divine thought power, but Lin Chen gave her a very strange feeling.
As long as she didn't have to target Lin Chen, she felt that anything was fine.
So, Yang Yan Ye was very happy.
The plan was successful!
Now, Ming Huang had been lured away.
And he was leading two Great Sun Golden Crow pseudo-god realm powerhouses, one Kuafu tribe pseudo-god realm powerhouse, and Bran Madeng…
Five against one!
Bran Madeng was also very powerful.
His counterattack aura reflected all damage.
He was simply a meat shield.
But his war stomp had decent damage!
Yang Yan Ye felt that he was going to succeed.
So he was very happy.
"Then it's settled… Let's go!"
Yang Yan Ye directly led the team to the stele forest where Lin Chen was.
When he entered the stele forest, Yang Yan Ye was still very careful, but when he got inside, he didn't find anyone.
The next moment, a Great Sun Golden Crow tribe powerhouse next to Yang Yan Ye suddenly spat out blood.
"Yang Xiao Tian!"
Yang Yan Ye exclaimed, "What's wrong with you?"
But Yang Xiao Tian didn't respond at all…
Because his soul had already left his body.
Guess what?
He died!
Moreover, he died without even seeing Lin Chen's face!
"It's that move!"
Bran Madeng felt that he was too familiar with this situation.
It had even become his nightmare at night…
His sister.
His lover.
That was how they suddenly vomited blood and died beside him!
The next moment, Lin Chen's soul swallowed Yang Xiao Tian's newly departed soul in one gulp.
"Lin Chen!"
Bran Madeng immediately said, "Kill!"
At this time, a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes…
"I expected this move."
Yang Yan Ye sneered even more.
Then, on the path of Lin Chen's soul escape, a Yang Flame slammed over.
It was another powerhouse from the Great Sun Golden Crow tribe!
He was lying in ambush in the back.
But…
Lin Chen's soul rushed towards Yang Yan Ye. While Yang Yan Ye was shocked, he instantly disappeared behind a purple stele, dodging this Yang Flame impact.
"Chase!"
Bran Madeng said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect Lin Chen's body to be hidden behind this stele… We were all fooled. The purple stele can isolate our soul perception!"
Yang Yan Ye's face also changed.
They had overlooked it.
They had indeed overlooked this point.
He had deliberately sacrificed a companion from his tribe because Bran Madeng was familiar with Lin Chen's Reaper's Blade, so he set this trap. Yang Xiao Tian, who was instantly killed by Lin Chen's slash, didn't know that Lin Chen had such a killing move…
Because this was Yang Yan Ye's deliberate calculation, and he didn't tell him.
Then, when they entered the stele forest, Lin Chen would find… Huh?
There was actually a reckless guy who was killing him, Lin Chen, without any defense, and his sea of souls was open?
With Lin Chen's personality, he would definitely launch a sneak attack!
Lin Chen made his move.
Then, he was also transferred into the encirclement designed by Yang Yan Ye and Bran Madeng.
But at this critical moment, who could have imagined that Lin Chen would be so bold as to hide his body behind the nearest purple stele?
How close was this stele?
Actually, it was right behind Yang Yan Ye!
But Yang Yan Ye, because of negligence, completely failed to notice this.
When Yang Yan Ye reacted, Lin Chen's soul had already returned to his body.
"Lin Chen!"
Yang Yan Ye made his move the next moment.
He was a Great Sun Golden Crow.
A descendant of the Yan Emperor!
But now the Yan Emperor was gone.
During the God-Demon War, the Yan Emperor and many other powerful gods of the Eastern Illusion disappeared.
But from then on, an organization appeared in the universe… the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
This was an organization that specialized in resisting the Temple of the Gods.
The Temple of the Gods suspected that the Eastern Illusion gods represented by the Yan Emperor might be related to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but they had never been able to catch any evidence. But for the Great Sun Golden Crow tribe, if the Yan Emperor was really a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, then their entire tribe would be in danger.
So…
Now the Great Sun Golden Crow tribe had turned to the Western Illusion's Sun God.
"Sunlight Vault!"
This strike of Yang Yan Ye was the Sun God's inherited killing move, and its power was extremely strong!
The update was a bit late. The next chapter will be around nine o'clock.
