The Palace of Fate Cards. Inside the soundproof barrier.
Fan Shansheng and Ling Yao sat opposite each other and talked about their knowledge and analysis.
"There are only three ways to change the current situation of the God King Temple. The first is to persuade the Tongtian Snake Spirit or the High Priest to order rectification personally; the second is to completely overthrow the existing rule of the God King Temple. Change the world.
"But these two paths are obviously difficult to achieve. After all, if Master Snake Spirit or the High Priest wants to change all this, he will not wait until now without taking any action. And if they just give orders through transactions, this change will The validity period will be very short, and it may return to its original state within a few years.
"And overthrowing the Temple of the God King means becoming an enemy of all the priests. And the new rule established in this way cannot gain a foothold in Liuchuan, which believes in the snake spirit that reaches the sky and respects the Temple of the God King. Even if there are those who made a big fuss in the dungeon before, Even with the help of seniors, it is difficult to achieve.”
"So, we can only choose the third way."
Ling Yao put his hands together and pointed towards the main hall,
"Steal the power of the high priest from within the Temple of the God King and control the actual ruling power of the entire Liuchuan. This will not bring turmoil to the entire Liuchuan due to the shattered faith, nor will all the priests run against us. .”
"That's right. However, it may not be difficult to defeat the high priest. After all, the senior should have the strength of Peak Breaking Sky, which is not much different from the high priest's level, and may be even stronger than him. But gaining the power of the high priest , but it’s not easy.”
Fan Shansheng gathered spiritual power on his fingertips, formed a circle on the ground, and wrote Da Xikang's name on it, and then punched an arrow from the circle:
"First of all, once the position of high priest becomes vacant, the previous high priest Lang Yue will never let go of this opportunity. Although the dungeon and those 'experiments' have existed in the Temple of the God King for many years, but to the current scale, it can be said that Lang Yue made the greatest contribution.
"When Lang Yue became the high priest, many of the votes came from those who had benefited from the dungeon. After he became the high priest, he intensified his efforts. Not only did he completely let the priests participate, he even found ways to provide convenience for them.
"In his eyes, the dungeon is a means to help him 'win people's hearts', and he even enjoys it. In contrast, although Da Xikang turns a blind eye to the dungeon, at least he will not encourage it. Or help other priests participate in those perverted 'games'. If Lang Yue is allowed to be the high priest again, the Temple of the God King will only become more decadent and decadent."
"But before taking down Da Xikang, Lang Yue can still play some role."
Ling Yao touched his chin and showed a dangerous smile,
"Make the best use of 'things'."
Just "throw" it away when you're done using it.
Fan Shansheng obviously understood the meaning of Ling Yao's words. He just glanced at him and continued to draw an arrow from the circle with Da Xikang written on it:
"Secondly, there is the Changsa tribe where Da Xikang belongs, and it is also the largest tribe in Liuchuan now. If Da Xikang is dismissed and the new leader has no backers to compete with him, they will not give up.
"Of course, there are ten major tribes in Liuchuan, and everyone is eyeing the position of high priest. Like Lang Yue, the other nine tribes will also provide us with certain help in bringing down Da Xikang."
"But it's the same problem as Lang Yue. No one can guarantee that the newly appointed high priest will do better than Da Xikang. It's all about treating the symptoms rather than the root cause."
Ling Yao also twisted his fingers and drew a new arrow on the circle.
"If you want to cure the root cause, you must get the recognition of the Tongtian Snake Spirit and become a high priest in the true sense. With the help of the Tongtian Snake Spirit, no one will dare to raise objections. Even if you make some small moves, We have to worry about the Heaven-reaching Snake Spirit venting its anger on the high priest’s behalf and retaliating against them in the future.”
Ling Yao added the four characters "Tiantian Snake Spirit" at the end of the arrow, but he sighed:
"It's a pity, it's a pity. It's probably more difficult to get the recognition of a big boss who sees the dragon but never ends, and whose selection criteria are basically a black box, than to defeat all the priests in the Temple of the God King."
Fan Shansheng narrowed his eyes and said:
"But...it's not without opportunities. Whether it's Han Hanlin who makes the Snake King Statue shine the strongest light, or you who are favored by the snake spirit, and you are gifted with the ability to read the records of the origins of Rukawa, it can be said that you have the best chance to obtain Tongtian in thousands of years. The person recognized by the snake spirit and becomes the 'god king'."
Ling Yao thought to himself, you can pull him down. If there really is a "god king", according to the origin record, the Heaven-reaching Snake Spirit will worship him as its master!
There has been no "God King" in the Temple of the God King for so many years. It may not necessarily mean that it has never appeared, but that your Heaven-reaching Snake Spirit will not let others "appear" at all!
However, I’m afraid no one would believe what he said, so he simply put it in a tactful way:
"But you know, since it's a 'plan', you can't put all your bets on things that you're not 100% sure of."
"Of course. This is just the last resort, the last resort."
Fan Shansheng curled up his lips and glanced sharply at the little blue stripe sleeping on Ling Yao's head.
"But since I want to help you, I have to be honest enough. I can tell you clearly that the current situation of Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit is not good. Coupled with Lord Ice Python's favor for you, we have a chance Forging His ‘approval’ to gain the trust of others.”
After hearing this, Ling Yao immediately became energetic:
"What do you mean? Tomorrow the sacrificial ceremony will begin. Didn't it say that on the last day of the sacrificial ceremony, the heaven-reaching snake spirit will appear and deliver prophecies?"
It's not like he hasn't thought about using his identity as the "Snake Spirit Messenger" to make a big splash. But the title "Snake Spirit Envoy" is ultimately what the priests think of it, not what Tongtian Snake Spirit personally approves.
It would be bad if he made too big a fuss and caused the snake spirit to appear and expose him.
"What He can do is probably only use the formation of the sacrificial ceremony to descend briefly for a period of time.
"According to the records seen and heard by the priests, except for the prophecy of appearance during the sacrificial ceremony, Master Tongtian Snake Spirit has not left the holy spring or appeared in front of people for nearly a hundred years."
Although the Ming Pai Hall was already remote and covered by a soundproof array, Fan Shansheng couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Over the years since I entered the Temple of the God King, even us ordinary priests have not been able to go to see Him. Only the high priest Da Xikang can meet with Him.
"The high priest serves as Lord Snake Spirit's mouthpiece and delivers messages to the world on his behalf. But no one knows whether what he said is what Lord Snake Spirit said."
Although Ling Yao was shocked by the current situation of Tongtian Snake Spirit, he caught a more crucial word:
"Holy spring? Is it the holy spring I know?"
Fan Shansheng nodded:
"I think you have seen some information in the library. The Holy Spring is not a spring in the true sense, but the location of the Liuchuan River. If what the Origin Record says is true, the Holy Spring may even be the source of the entire Mangsheng World. origin.
"The reason why Lord Tongtian Snake Spirit stayed in Liuchuan and never left is precisely to guard this ground and maintain its stability.
"Since the records of demons invading the world of Mangsheng, demon cracks have never appeared in Liuchuan. This also shows that the space here is the most stable, and it is most likely the result of Lord Snake Spirit.
"In the past few years, the invasion of demons seems to have led to a new peak, and the number of cracks has also been increasing. Perhaps this is the reason why Master Snake Spirit cannot escape from the holy spring and almost no longer appears in front of people."
"But the earth vein essence flowing in the holy spring does have the effect of cleansing the meridians and repairing hidden wounds, right?"
Ling Yao touched his chin, and to Fan Shansheng who heard the implication, he smiled like a thief.
Seeing Fan Shansheng's speechless gaze, Ling Yao coughed twice and explained:
"I don't care. But if you want that senior to take action, you have to let someone get some benefits, right? Let me tell you the truth, that person can be said to be here just for the holy spring. Even if we don't have a plan, she will take action sooner or later. .”
Fan Shansheng couldn't help but sigh:
"As long as you don't extract a large amount and only take the amount used by a few people, it will not have any impact on the earth's veins. Even at the sacrificial ceremony, the priests will also use a certain amount to build formations and reward everyone.
"But...according to rumors, Master Snake Spirit is already at the peak of mortal sainthood, and has reached the realm of becoming a god in one step. With him guarding there, how can that senior get any benefits? And if he takes action against the weight in the sacrificial ceremony, it will Those who provoke public anger..."
"It doesn't matter. The mini-boss at the end of the level can't be that high-level. The protagonist will definitely be weakened to scum as soon as he appears."
Ling Yao shook his finger and relayed the conclusions of the complainers, with an inscrutable look on his face.
Fan Shansheng looked confused:
"What did you say? What is the official residence, Xiao Bosi?"
"Ah no, it's nothing. I mean... there's a way."
Just kidding, if you could understand, how dare I say this? ?
Ling Yao smiled and changed the topic:
"Anyway, I will relay the matter about the Holy Spring to that senior. As for the matter of 'falsely passing on the imperial edict'... we still have something to discuss..."
