Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Forge a Sword That the World Fears


    ?


    "Thank you for the information. It seems now, Molier is merely a pretext, isn''t it? The true reason is that you want to unite all the possible forces to eliminate the True Dragon Emperor, starting with the Dragon Clan. The key focus thereafter is to persuade the lords blessed by Talent."


    Qin Muye was no fool. The native inhabitants had already been pulverized by the lords in the top ten rankings. Upon realizing his lack of hard power, he naturally had to resort to a strategy of division, co-optation, and suppression.


    The full mobilization of the Dragon Clan was just one aspect; the real goal was to persuade other lords to act against the True Dragon Emperor.


    First, eliminate the greatest danger, then naturally continue the strategy of division and suppression.


    The idea was good, but everyone knew in their hearts that unless one willingly walked into the trap, success was unlikely.


    Only the lords among the top ten rankings might entertain the idea. For someone weak like Qin Muye, even the residual effects of their clashes could defeat him, let alone directly confronting them.


    "It seems you have great confidence in the True Dragon Emperor, but I wonder how much confidence you actually have?" the Wisdom Tree asked calmly.


    "I have no confidence at all-the True Dragon Emperor is indeed very overbearing, but, well, do you think a backwater place like mine really has any resources?" Qin Muye chuckled lightly. Speaking of resources, there were some-the grass on the ground.


    Moreover, if he could not stir up trouble, could he not avoid it?


    The fact that the Wisdom Tree had sought him out indicated that the plan had likely succeeded to a large extent, or at least that a majority of the lords had been swayed.


    Otherwise, it would not have bothered seeking out somebody as insignificant as him.


    If he really joined the adversary''s cause, he would gain no benefits from success, but failure would cost him his life.


    Whether the True Dragon Emperor existed or not had no bearing on Qin Muye; it only affected the top ten lords in the ranking, and had nothing to do with him, a minor third-tier lord.


    The fierce fights between mighty beasts wouldn''t notice an ant at their feet; if the ant stayed away, it wouldn''t die, but approaching them was plainly suicidal.


    "Since you''ve made your decision, I won''t try to convince you further. With your current power, you probably don''t need me to issue you a Reclassification Certificate anymore."


    After speaking, the figure of the Wisdom Tree gradually faded and eventually disappeared. [You have gained 2150 Experience Points]


    After everyone left, Qin Muye returned calmly.


    Despite his seemingly unperturbed demeanor, he was actually extremely anxious inside.


    ''It''s too chaotic out there. The True Dragon Emperor arranging a meeting with the other nine wasn''t about planning a decapitation strike, was it? No wonder it didn''t happen.''


    Whoever provoked him could be directly obliterated.


    The damage wasn''t the main point-the main point was that once the Crimson outbreak began, it would start causing decay and assimilation of Magic and Element into the Crimson


    Element.


    Based on the current data on hand, it also affected Divine Power.


    The Crimson Element produced strong radiation and would cause a decrease in elemental concentration, meaning it would degrade the entire Magic Continent from a high-magic area to mid-magic, even to a low-magic level.


    For magical species, this would be catastrophic, and in an environment dominated by the Crimson Element, most life forms would not survive.


    Lacking sufficient personal strength, it was better to create something that could make the entire world shudder and hold enemies at bay.


    "But as difficult as it is, it must be created. Having a sword in hand is different from having


    none."


    "I need a sword that both lords and natives will fear."


    Relying on conventional monster-fighting and territory upgrades would not suffice, much like his initial circumstances. Thus, the only way forward was to think outside the box to see the entire framework clearly.


    However, this act by Qin Muye would undoubtedly make his territory cash-strapped, but that was a lesser concern; being cash-strapped and impoverished was far better than facing


    certain death in the Netherworld.


    "First, let''s craft the container."


    "Alchemy, Elemental Science, Magic, and Enchantment Study, hmm, and also Forging


    Science."


    "Modern materials science, physics, mathematics..."


    Having made up his mind, Qin Muye commenced his actions, subsequently engaging in deep


    study and research in the relevant disciplines.


    Creating this earth-shattering sword was not easy, especially as he was working alone. Even with his talents in Learning Ability and Academic Research, it was no simple feat.
