Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

In the end, Lü Meng chose a deceptive concept of a deity.

"Are you sure you want to choose this?" Zhou Yu was somewhat puzzled by Lü Meng's choice.

"Yes, it will work very well when combined with my mental talent!" Lu Meng nodded, he also had his own ideas about the overall framework.

He had previously admired Xun You's ability to conceal himself, and now that he had the opportunity to add a new ability to himself, he decisively chose the concept of deception.

Concealing his true self in order to achieve his goals—this is the path he has chosen for himself.

He had also learned about the story of crossing the river in white robes. Although it was despicable, Lü Meng believed that it was something he was absolutely capable of doing, but he would do it better.

Zhou Yu looked intently at Lü Meng and began to earnestly advise him.

"Ziming, you should understand that the Lü Meng in those stories you know is not yourself!"

"Don't let those things influence your own judgment!"

For Zhou Yu, the history he saw was nothing more than a story created based on him.

He won't be affected by those things, after all, everyone's upbringing is completely different, and their growth trajectories are also vastly different.

It's fine to bring it up as a lighthearted conversation after dinner, but if you actually take it as your own story, you're in big trouble.

"Rest assured, Commander, my choice is entirely based on my own needs!" Lü Meng nodded, knowing that Zhou Yu was acting in his best interest.

Zhou Yu frowned, but seeing complete composure in Lü Meng's eyes, he nodded.

Everyone has their own path to walk, and since Lü Meng made a rational choice, he respected the other party's choice.

He was extremely confident that if things really went wrong, he would bail out Lü Meng.

Zhou Yu stopped trying to dissuade him and used a ritual to instill in Lü Meng the concept of deception.

Nearly half of the naval officers and soldiers were instilled with the concept of gods, and even Zhou Yu himself created the concept of Taiyin for himself.

Although putting the sun and the moon together might evoke strange associations, there is indeed a great deal of interaction between the two, which is why Zhou Yu chose this concept.

Zhou Yu was quite satisfied with this system. It was a nice addition to a body with internal energy that had left its body, but most importantly, it could be infused into a body with internal energy that had formed a powerful force.

Allowing internal energy to form a powerful force ahead of time has an effect similar to a legion talent, resulting in a qualitative leap in overall strength.

Just as Zhou Yu was fully promoting this system in the navy, Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and others came knocking on his door.

"Sun Bofu, Zhou Gongjin, the Emperor has ordered that you two come with us!" Lu Bu handed the order to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu looked at Lü Bu and the others, and his expression unconsciously became serious.

This doesn't look like a regular transfer order; it looks more like... an arrest warrant or summons.

Most of the top generals of the Star Han Empire had arrived, and they even vaguely surrounded Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

"General Lü! Let's have a spar!" Sun Ce didn't seem to notice the atmosphere at all; instead, he was quite interested in challenging Lü Bu.

Having already acquired the Divine Power Double Breakthrough skill, he felt incredibly powerful and directly challenged Lu Bu.

"Interesting!" A sinister smile crept across Lu Bu's lips.

"Come, let's fight!"

Lu Bu, of course, would not refuse Sun Ce's challenge. The two flew to the sea together. Without the suppression of the clouds, both were able to unleash their full power.

"I am the embodiment of the sun!"

Sun Ce's domineering aura radiated in all directions, and he even exuded a godlike majesty.

It pressed down on Lü Bu with a powerful surge of spiritual will.

"A petty trick!"

With his arms crossed, Lu Bu subtly revealed his divine will, directly breaking through Sun Ce's materialized pressure.

"Sun Bofu has actually become this strong?"

Ma Chao looked at Sun Ce's figure with some surprise. Even from such a distance, he could feel the spiritual sting under that pure white radiance.

Moreover, it wasn't just a psychological pressure; Sun Ce radiated a dazzling light, the effect of looking directly at him being like looking directly at the blazing sun at midday on the summer solstice.

“Not only has the original divine will been strengthened, but it has also achieved the Qi Breaking Boundary. Meng Qi, you are probably no match for Sun Bofu!” Zhao Yun frowned as he stared at Sun Ce, his eyes glancing at Zhou Yu’s expressionless face.

"Governor Zhou, what kind of extraordinary encounter did Sun Bofu have?"

Zhao Yun's question drew everyone's attention to Zhou Yu.

"I can also summon the gods for you generals if you are interested in the method of summoning gods that I obtained from the Tang Dynasty."

Zhou Yu now roughly understood why Zhao Yun and his men had come—it was for the secret technique he had just acquired.

He repeatedly reviewed the technology he had acquired and the details of his discussions with Su Dingfang in his mind, and finally confirmed that he had not been influenced or misled in any way.

All the details and ideas were coherent, and there was no trace of him being disturbed by something like his own spiritual talent.

Moreover, from a formal standpoint, as the Governor-General of the Navy, he possessed absolute power, and everything seemed perfectly logical.

"Then I'll have to trouble Governor Zhou!"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little effort!"

Zhao Yun's words gave Zhou Yu another idea, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he silently raised his head and watched Lu Bu and Sun Ce fight in the sky.

When Sun Ce saw that Lü Bu had his arms crossed and didn't take him as an opponent at all, his anger surged and his concept of the sun was activated to the extreme.

A brilliant golden sun rose from Sun Ce's body.

At that moment, it was as if a blazing sun had suddenly risen in the sky, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles with Sun Ce's radiance.

Lu Bu lowered his arms from his chest, picked up his halberd, and a look of interest appeared in his eyes.

Sun Ce is getting stronger, and he keeps getting stronger. This rate of increase reminded Lü Bu of Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei thus integrated his scattered strength and spirit, thereby unleashing power beyond the ordinary.

However, that's all there is to it for Lü Bu. Sun Ce's current level is only at the mid-tier of the first tier, which is still far from Lü Bu's level.

His main purpose in coming here this time was to observe the concept of the sun in Sun Ce.

Now that Sun Ce has reached his limit, let's push him a little further.

A golden-red radiance shot into the sky. Lu Bu took a deep breath, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged into his body with a powerful vortex-like force, directly entering Dharma Mode.

A golden-red Dharma image, hundreds of feet tall, appeared between heaven and earth like another sun.

Then Lu Bu roared and absorbed the hundred-foot-tall golden-red Dharma image into his body. During this process, Lu Bu's aura surged wildly, and his terrifying power spread in all directions.

Facing Lü Bu head-on, Sun Ce was even struggling to breathe under the pressure. His scalp tingled, and he couldn't understand how Lü Bu's old tricks had become so much more powerful. The reason was simple: Lü Bu's physical body had begun to transform towards the realm of refined essence.

In his pursuit of becoming stronger, Mu Yi provided Lü Bu with a batch of pills made from Xunmu wood, the effect of which was simple: extreme vitality.

Lu Bu used these elixirs as a catalyst to temper his physical body, and he was only one step away from achieving the breakthrough in cultivation.

For Lü Bu, the stronger his physical body becomes, the less divine will he needs to maintain it, and the stronger the power he can unleash.

That's why this situation occurs; the moves are clearly the same old moves, but Lü Bu has become significantly stronger than before.

"Sun Bofu, please don't die!"

Lu Bu's voice carried a chilling coldness as he casually gripped his halberd with one hand and then tilted it at a forty-five-degree angle, slashing upwards with tremendous force.

The super-powerful plasma sea spread out directly in the direction of Lu Bu's super-powerful horizontal slash, and the blue-purple radiance, measured in square kilometers, spread directly to the sky.

Sun Ce was directly engulfed by the plasma unleashed by Lü Bu.

Zhou Yu, sitting on the ship's deck, couldn't help but show a worried expression. Even he, seeing this situation, couldn't help but worry about Sun Ce's safety.

Lu Bu's strength is widely acknowledged. Although Sun Ce has become stronger, he still struggles too much against Lu Bu.

"Lord Wen, I am no longer the person I once was!"

When Sun Ce's strong and resonant voice rang out, Zhou Yu unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Bu looked at the sun emerging from the plasma sea with some surprise. Although he had gone easy on Sun Ce, in theory, Sun Ce shouldn't have had it so easy.

"Alright!" Lu Bu's figure transformed into a streak of fire, rushing towards Sun Ce at a speed imperceptible to ordinary people.

With a mighty slam, Sun Ce, who was surrounded by the radiance of the sun, was smashed into the sea like a ball.

The surging waves were easily kept out by the clouds of the ships.

A beam of light shot directly at Lü Bu.

The halberd blocked Sun Ce's surprise attack, and Lü Bu's face showed even greater interest.

I underestimated you!

Lu Bu placed his other hand on his halberd and began to take things seriously, recognizing Sun Ce as his opponent at that moment.

Sun Ce's pressure suddenly increased dramatically; he could feel a powerful divine will locking onto his body.

In the next instant, Lü Bu appeared in front of Sun Ce as if by teleportation, and with both hands he gripped the halberd tightly and slashed it down fiercely.

Sun Ce felt a chill run down his spine and unleashed a power beyond his limits, launching a counterattack with even more ferocious momentum.

The halberd and the spear collided in mid-air, and Sun Ce immediately felt a force penetrate all his defenses and slam into his body.

"Pfft~" Sun Ce suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The gap is too big!" Sun Ce felt the pain in his body, but he forced himself to get into an attack stance again.

There was nothing fancy about it; Lü Bu used the purest divine will to unleash extreme violence, wounding Sun Ce with a single blow.

Sun Ce in his hand became even more excited, his whole body began to radiate crimson-gold flames, and his aura became even more surging.

But the gap is the gap.

Lu Bu appeared before Sun Ce like a ghost, and his halberd came crashing down with the force of ten thousand men.

With the first blow, Sun Ce's inner energy armor was completely shattered.

The second blow caused Sun Ce to cough up blood and stagger backward.

With the third strike, Sun Ce was completely defeated, crashing towards the ship like a meteor.

Zhao Yun leaped up and caught Sun Ce, placing him on the deck, but Sun Ce was already completely unconscious.

Lu Bu's attacks primarily targeted the will of the gods, so Sun Ce's injuries were more about will than physical.

Zhou Yu checked Sun Ce's condition. Although he looked quite miserable, Sun Ce's vitality meant he would fully recover after a good night's sleep.

"Commander Zhou, please let me try your summoning magic!" Zhao Yun infused Sun Ce with his inner energy and then turned to Zhou Yu to say.

"Come with me!" Zhou Yu did not refuse and chose the concept of a speed god for Zhao Yun.

After absorbing this concept, Zhao Yun closed his eyes for a long time before nodding to Lü Bu and the others.

He had confirmed that Zhou Yu's ceremony was without issue, at least within Zhao Yun's understanding.

This concept of speed also made up for a long-standing regret of Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's White Horse Cavalry often couldn't reach their maximum speed, but this time, with the authority over this concept of speed, Zhao Yun was certain that he could make the White Horse Cavalry accelerate.

Once the existing framework is broken, rapid progress will be just around the corner.

Zhao Yun was overjoyed. One of his biggest worries was that he couldn't lead the White Horse Cavalry to Shenkuo, and in terms of straight-line acceleration, they were even inferior to the previous fake White Horse Cavalry.

But this time, it seems he will be able to fulfill his dream.

"Thank you for your trouble, General Zhao!" Zhou Yu bowed to Zhao Yun with clasped hands.

He understood that Zhao Yun and his men had come to check whether there was anything wrong with this so-called method of invoking the gods.

Of course, Mu Yi had already sensed that there was no problem when Zhou Yu and the others returned.

However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed, which can be seen as providing proof for Zhou Yu and preventing anyone from using this to attack him in the future.

This also serves as an endorsement of the ability, thus prompting attempts to promote this ritualistic ability throughout the entire Star River.

The Tang Dynasty had no intention of harming Xinghan; what they gave him was a genuine secret technique.

Correspondingly, Zhou Yu did not betray the Tang Dynasty. Su Dingfang only tried twice after returning and successfully completed the flying of the sea fortress.

Both sides quickly combined each other's complete technologies with their own to develop new things.

This is also the reason why the two parties made the deal. With a mature technology as support, they can skip the long research and development period and put it into application directly.

Just like the method of invoking gods, if it is implemented throughout the entire army, it can at least increase the overall combat power by 10%.

This is a terrifying boost for the violent apparatus of a vast empire.

At Mu Yi's behest, Zhou Yu handed over the secret technique to the research institute for study, also in order to learn from this technology and combine it with other technologies to create something new.

Zhou Yu also made a great contribution because of this transaction, and his rank was promoted by one level, reaching the level of marquis.

After all, the method of flying was invented by Zhou Yu himself, so the credit should rightfully belong to him. (End of Chapter)
