When Prince Atago received the news from Su Ze, it could be described as being flattered.
He had not contacted Su Ze for a long time, not because he meant to distance himself, but as Su Ze's strength and status improved, the identities of the two parties were not equal at all, and he could no longer treat Su Ze as a friend of the same age with a normal heart. to treat.
When Su Ze became the overlord, he was already equal to his father in terms of status, and even surpassed his father in terms of future potential and even personal connections.
When Su Ze became the Supreme, he became a big shot that his father could only look up to.
Two days ago, there was news that Su Ze had fought against a legendary powerhouse, which meant that Su Ze was already ranked among the top figures in the entire Blue Star.
Faced with such an identity gap, Atago didn't know what name to use and what attitude to take to contact Su Ze.
And it happened that Su Ze had been busy and did not take the initiative to contact him, which made him think that Su Ze no longer wanted to be friends with him, which made him even more afraid to disturb Su Ze.
But today, Su Ze not only took the initiative to contact him, but also treated him as a friend. How could this not make Atago happy?
After calming down his excitement, Atago considered how to reply.
Would it be offensive to call you a friend as before?
If you are too polite and respectful, you will appear distant.
Worrying about gain and loss, Atago finally replied: "Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine. I wonder if the Supreme Lord has any instructions?"
Between intimacy and respect, he still chose to be respectful, but he was not too humble.
He figured it out that if someone like Su Ze didn't want to be friends with him, there was no point in approaching him with a shy face.
Moreover, the two of them had only met each other once, and there was no deep friendship between them.
In the future, the gap between Su Ze and him will only grow wider. It is impossible for the two to become true friends, but he can seize the opportunity to give himself another backer.
Su Ze quickly replied to Atago's message. He did not deliberately correct Atago's title, but said: "I happened to be passing through the desert country and wanted to visit an old friend."
Su Ze came to the desert country?
Atago was pleasantly surprised and stood up quickly, preparing to order his men to hold a banquet and tell his father the news.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Atago's expression moved slightly, and he stepped forward to open the door. As expected, he saw Su Ze standing outside the door.
Next to him was Yalga, the patron saint of Dongli.
Su Ze smiled and said: "I came uninvited, I hope I didn't disturb you."
Atago said quickly: "I was rude. Two distinguished guests came to the door and I didn't greet them in advance."
Atago wanted to contact his father Jassim, but Su Ze dissuaded him.
"We are just passing through here. The main reason for coming here this time is to meet old friends and catch up with the past. There is no need to make any announcement."
Seeing this, Atago had no choice but to give up, invited the two of them into the house, and went to bring tea and snacks to entertain Su Ze and the other two.
Su Ze didn't pay too much courtesy, nor did he deliberately build a closer relationship. He and Atago didn't have a deep friendship.
However, Atago did help him before. The blind sand snake extract Su Ze absorbed was obtained by Atago with help from hunting, and he was given a preferential price.
For this reason, Su Ze owed a favor.
He came here with the intention of repaying this favor.
According to Chen Suifeng, when he came this time, he mainly comforted and beat Jassim. If it didn't work, he would consider changing to another king.
But from Su Ze's point of view, Jassim had already joined the Blue Star Party and knew about the existence of the Nian people. It was already a big problem that he was still not firm in his position at this time.
If a king is not loyal to his own race and wants to be a mere outsider, it would be better to replace him as soon as possible.
Su Ze didn't have that much time and energy to understand Jassim's ideological situation and provide him with ideological education. If it wasn't suitable, he would just replace him.
Once Jassim falls, the family behind him will inevitably decline as well.
However, considering his relationship with Atago and not wanting to cause too much turmoil, Su Ze chose a more compromised approach.
"Thanks to Brother Atago's care before, I came here this time to give you a gift."
Atago looked curious.
Su Ze smiled: "How about I give you the throne of the Desert Kingdom?"
Atago was shocked and had to admit that he was indeed moved.
But he still managed to maintain his composure and said with a smile: "Su Zhizun, please stop joking, my father is in his prime, and I have more than twenty brothers above me.
"Whether it's in terms of strength or knowledge, I'm not outstanding. Even if my father wants to pass on the throne, it won't be my turn."
Su Ze took a sip of tea and said, "You are neither the most orthodox heir nor the most outstanding heir, but you have an advantage that no one else has."
"What?"
"You have a friend in me."
Atago took a deep breath, his tone became urgent uncontrollably, and he unknowingly used honorifics: "Are you planning to let my father make me your heir?"
Su Ze shook his head: "I plan to ask him to step down immediately and give way to you."
Atago looked at Su Ze's face and saw that he was unusually serious, confirming that Su Ze was not joking.
Atago couldn't understand and asked: "Why? Is this what you mean, or is it above..."
Su Ze did not answer him, but said: "I feel that as a person in power, there should be a pattern of superiors. Whether it is personal interests or family interests, they should not override national interests or even racial interests.
"I know this is difficult. At least I can't do it. I don't have enough structure as a person. I always like to take care of the friends around me. Do you think I'm here to find you? So I don't hold any real power positions.
"But since you are sitting in that seat, if you cannot put the collective interests first, you should get down as soon as possible to avoid making big mistakes in the future. What do you think?"
Atago nodded a little confused. On the one hand, he felt that what Su Ze said made sense, but on the other hand, he didn't know what his father had done to make Su Ze say such things.
Due to his status, he still does not have access to some confidential information and does not know the existence of the Nian people.
He only knew that there was a chief in the country who formed a gang recently and was very powerful, which gave his father a headache, but he thought it was just a normal political struggle.
However, under the rule of the Overlord, the Desert Country can still be in chaos. Atago also knows that there must be the tacit approval of the Overlord. He suspects that the Overlord may be dissatisfied with his father.
But when he thought about it, in the worst case scenario, even if the desert country really split into two countries, his father Jassim would definitely be the king of one of them.
But Su Ze's intention was to directly force his father to step down.
Atago is self-aware. He knows that he does not have any outstanding and irreplaceable qualities. Su Ze said that he wanted his father to abdicate and pass the throne to him, but the point was to make his father abdicate. As for the vacant throne, he did not There were many people rushing to sit down, including more than twenty of his brothers.
Not missing the opportunity, he immediately agreed: "If I am lucky enough to become the king of the desert country, I will definitely try my best to make my actions worthy of the throne under me.
"It's just... I still have two doubts. I hope you can clarify them for me."
Su Ze said calmly: "You tell me."
“Firstly, I want to know what mistakes my father made so that I can learn from them and never violate them in the future;
"Second point, I know that it is not easy to become the leader of a country. First of all, I must have matching strength, and secondly, I need the support of the dominant country. Otherwise, even if I sit on the throne, it will be difficult for me to sit firmly. "
Su Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Let me answer your first question first... Do you believe in aliens?"
Without waiting for Atago's reply, Su Ze roughly told the story about the invasion of the Nian people and the dispute between the two high-level parties in Lin Hua Kingdom.
Atago suddenly fell into a daze. Su Ze also knew that it would take some time to digest the news, so he did not rush him. He and Ya Ge ate snacks and chatted over the phone.
It took a full quarter of an hour before Atago came back to his senses and reluctantly accepted the explosive information.
He said: "So the split of the Desert Country was caused by the conflict between the two parties in Lin Hua Country? And because my father did not want the Desert Country to split, he had plans to join the aliens? Is this why you asked him to abdicate?"
Su Ze nodded slightly: "Allowing refuge to the Nian tribe may prevent the split of the Desert Country, and allow your father to gain support from the alien party, allowing him to stabilize his rule, but it is an irresponsible act for the people of the Desert Country, and may even It affects the situation in Linhuazhou as a whole."
Atago finally figured out the reason for these things.
Although he did not agree with his father's decision, he could also understand that taking refuge in aliens who raised humans as cattle and sheep was indeed not a wise move in the long run, but it could reap benefits in the short term.
After all, the Nian clan has an absolute advantage over humans. Even if all the Nian clan members on Blue Star are dead, just sending a strong person from the Nian clan's home planet is enough to suppress the entire Blue Star.
There is nothing wrong with choosing the dominant side when taking sides.
However, as humans, they are inherently hostile to the Nian tribe. Even if they take refuge in the past, the Nian tribe will only treat them like dogs.
And it also restricted the long-term development of their family. If they betrayed the tribe, the human race would never accept them again. Under the control of the Nian tribe, the upper limit of their family's development had been locked, and they could only serve as dogs to the Nian tribe forever.
Still an underappreciated dog.
When the Nian people completely control the Blue Star humans, they will have no use value.
Of course King Jassim of the Desert Kingdom will not fail to understand this, but sometimes people just care about immediate interests. After all, life is short. Even a saint-level strongman only has a life span of two to three hundred years. After death, who cares about the floods? .
Atago solemnly said: "I understand, I will always remember that I am a Blue Star person."
Su Ze nodded appreciatively and said: "As for the second point, your strength is indeed a bit weak now. You are only in the cocoon-breaking stage, but you should be close to the butterfly stage, right? Work harder and you will complete your third evolution in these two days. Bar."
"Okay!" Atago said, "But the Butterfly Stage is not enough. Almost all the previous kings of the Desert Kingdom are at the hegemon level. Therefore, our family will give birth to a large number of heirs in each generation in order to select the outstanding ones. Train him to become an overlord so that he can inherit the throne.”
"As a friend, I can personally sponsor you with some high-level resources to help you become the overlord as quickly as possible. In addition, even if your father steps down, he can still protect you with force, and the family behind you will still be able to protect you. I can be your support, and I will get some support for you, such as asking Mr. Ke to arrange for a supreme powerhouse to replace the previous Holy Envoy of the Desert Kingdom to assist you with all my strength."
Atago quickly thanked him, no longer having any doubts in his heart.
He knew that although he could secure the throne in this way, he would be helped by Su Ze throughout the process, which also meant that he would be controlled by Su Ze.
But these are all things he can bear. After all, without Su Ze's help, he will be just an ordinary son among Tasim's many sons in this life, and will never be able to ascend the throne.
Unexpectedly, a friend he made casually at that time and provided some help, in less than a year, actually bought him the throne that he could not even imagine.
Making more friends really has its benefits!
"Now, please inform your father to come over. I plan to personally persuade him to abdicate." Su Ze said with a half-smile, "By the way, don't tell him in advance that I am coming, lest he get stressed and do something that is not conducive to unity. thing."
"Okay!" Atago picked up the phone and walked out.
Su Ze didn't care what Atago told his father, he winked at Brother Ya.
Brother Ya nodded and disappeared.
A moment later, Atago came in again and said to Su Ze, "My father will be here soon."
…
About ten minutes later, Atago's door was opened, and Jassim, who had gray hair, dark skin, and a medium build, walked in with long strides.
Su Ze had already noticed his arrival and felt Jassim's mental scan in advance. However, as long as he didn't want to, Jassim's mental power would not be able to detect him.
When Jassim saw Su Ze in the room, he immediately stopped and his expression became extremely unnatural.
He had been in contact with Su Ze before, when he discovered the alien spacecraft. At that time, he was very dissatisfied with Su Ze who entered the spacecraft first to explore, and he even always suspected that Su Ze had gained some benefits in the spacecraft.
Because of this, his attitude towards Su Ze was also poor at that time.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few months, the boy who had not yet become a saint at that time would now become a big shot that he could not afford to offend.
This change of identity made Jassim very uncomfortable.
He hesitated for a moment, then bowed slightly and said, "Supreme Su Ze."
Su Ze nodded lightly and did not ask Jassim to take a seat.
Jassim looked at Atago with questioning eyes, as if he was very dissatisfied that his son had concealed Suze's arrival and deceived him.
He opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Supreme Su Ze is here in person, but you don't tell me about such a big thing. You have neglected the Supreme, and I can't forgive you!"
On the surface, he was reprimanding Atago, but in fact, he was testing Su Ze.
He knew that Su Ze must have ordered Atago to do this. Su Ze concealed his arrival and asked Atago to call him over, fearing that the visitor would be unkind.
Normally, if Atago was scolded by his father like this, he would have become weak-hearted, but this time he was unusually calm, with no fear on his face, and looked at his father calmly.
The look in his eyes was so calm that it made Jassim panic.
Su Ze spoke at this time: "I asked Atago to call you here. The main reason for coming here this time is to make you abdicate and make way for others."
He didn't mince words at all, he got straight to the point and made his purpose clear.
Jassim's face turned ugly instantly.
"Why?" he asked awkwardly.
"Because you are no longer suitable."
Jassim was silent for a moment and said: "Supreme Suze should still be serving in Dongli now, right? If we remember correctly, you do not hold any position in the dominant country, and you have no right to dictate the appointment and dismissal of the king of the desert country. Even according to Lin According to the rules left by Hua Chuanqi, even the master has no right to interfere in the appointment and dismissal of the king of the Desert Kingdom."
"I don't need others to give me certain rights. The weak rely on others to give them rights, while the strong hold power themselves.
"My power comes from myself. I am not discussing with you or letting you make a choice. I am simply informing you."
Su Ze's flat tone made Jassim feel even more humiliated and despised.
Jassim had to admit that what Su Ze said made sense. The weak could only obtain "rights" by relying on the rules set by the strong, and those who actually made the rules had "power."
After all, rights cannot compete with power.
For example, now, his rights granted by Lin Huazhou's law have been trampled by Su Ze, and he can only seek help from the person who gave him the rights.
"I want to make a phone call and ask the dominant country what it wants." Jassim gritted his teeth and said.
Su Ze sneered and said, "You want to call him, right?"
Beside him, Brother Ya appeared quietly, holding a bloody human head in his hand.
Seeing the appearance of the human head clearly, Jassim's face turned pale, and the last line of defense in his heart was broken.
That is the head of the Holy Envoy of the Desert Country.
His competitors were able to compete with him precisely because of the support of the Desert Holy Envoy.
Not long ago, the Holy Envoy of the Desert came to him and persuaded him to join the alien party, and he would get the full support of the Lord. By then, the Desert Kingdom would not have to be divided, and he would also receive a reward from the Lord.
Jassim was very moved, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he chose to go back and think about it.
But during this period, his competitor, the overlord chief supported by the alien party, was developing too fast, which made him feel the pressure.
And after comprehensive consideration, he is pessimistic about the future of the Blue Star human race, so he feels that it is better to join the Nian tribe as soon as possible.
Therefore, just before coming here, he had just contacted the Desert Holy Envoy and expressed his willingness to join the alien party.
So Jassim was very sure that the Desert Holy Messenger was still alive twenty minutes ago.
And from the looks of it, Su Ze did not leave Atago's room when the Desert Holy Envoy died. This shows that the Desert Holy Envoy did not die in Su Ze's hands.
To be able to quietly kill the Desert Holy Envoy in a short period of time... the person who does this must have legendary combat power!
In addition to Su Ze, the Blue Star Party also arranged for other legendary combat powerhouses to come over?
This made Jassim feel that the Blue Star Party attached great importance to the Desert Country, and he also knew that he was helpless this time.
He took a deep breath and said, "What are you going to do with me? Who will you arrange to take my place?"
At this time, Atago, who had been silent, spoke: "Father, I will manage the desert country on your behalf, but I may need your help."
Jassim was startled. He didn't expect that Su Ze would ask his son to take his place, which made him feel much better instantly.
For him, the throne must be passed on to his son sooner or later. Although Atago is not his most outstanding son, he is not bad, and he is also an acceptable successor.
As for whether Atago's strength can successfully take over the desert country, he is not worried at all. With the support of Su Ze and the Blue Star Party, this is absolutely no problem.
And from what Atago said, it seemed that Su Ze had no intention of killing him or imprisoning him.
This was much better than the worst ending he had initially imagined.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he actually thanked Su Ze: "Thank you for your mercy."
"I let you go because of our old friendship with Atago. After that, I want you to pave the way for Atago, and then officially announce that the throne will be passed to him. After Atago takes the throne, you Can no longer appear in public.
"From now on, you are no longer a king, just do your duty as a father and protect your children.
"Also, don't think about regaining the throne with the help of the alien party, otherwise when I come next time, not only will you die, but you will also become the last king of your family."
Jasim smiled bitterly and nodded.
Unless Su Ze died, he wouldn't have the guts to take back the throne.
It is not difficult to regain the throne, but what is difficult is how to resist the assassination of a legendary strongman?
At least the throne is still passed down in their family. If Su Ze is angered, their family will lose the throne and he will become the sinner of the family.
At this moment, Jassim finally accepted his fate.
Watching Jassim leave, Su Ze immediately contacted Chen Suifeng and asked him to send strong men to protect and assist Atago.
Of course, Su Ze couldn't completely trust Jassim, so he still had to take some precautions.
Chen Suifeng said that he would immediately send two supremes to the desert country to prevent the alien party from counterattacking.
Su Ze and Brother Ya stayed until the two supreme leaders of the Blue Star Party arrived, and then left with Atago's farewell.
Plamon, who was covered in stench, appeared silently behind the two of them. He was short, dark and thin, and looked like a follower of Su Ze and the others. His stench was also mixed with the smell of blood.
The holy envoy of the desert country was killed by Plamon.
To be precise, it was Brother Ya who assisted Plamon and killed the supreme holy envoy with one strike!
The legendary Plamon, assisted by Brother Ya's "Void" skill, caused the Desert Holy Envoy to lose his head before he could even react.
The three of them continued heading west. After taking a few steps, a message suddenly came from Plamon's cell phone.
It was news from the dirty soil organization group that Elder Kang, the supreme powerhouse who was killed by Su Ze, had been resurrected.
Su Ze was not surprised. He had guessed when he killed Elder Kang that Elder Kang should have resurrection skills.
But another interesting thing is that Bai Guishou also escaped back to the dirty soil organization and said nothing about his experience of being kidnapped by Su Ze.
Before, Brother Ya knocked Bai Guishou unconscious and buried him alive and ignored him. After this guy woke up, he found that the outside world had changed drastically. After he figured out the whole story, he spent a lot of effort to find the organization and return to the organization. Arrived in the large army of the dirty soil organization.
He didn't know what Su Ze had done using his identity, nor did he know that Plamon had become Su Ze's puppet.
Originally, he wanted to report everything in detail, but he didn't expect that Elder Kang, who had always given him little shoes to wear, took him very seriously. Several other elders also showed great appreciation for him and praised him for his loyalty to the organization.
The change in attitude made him stunned.
So in order to keep the respect and appreciation, he chose to conceal his kidnapping.
