Panlong: Science Comes to the Magical Universe

Chapter 33 Undercurrents among the Lords

"Chief, I know that my request is excessive. After all, if you protect us, you may face off against the Four Divine Beasts."

Barbary saw Hankin lost in thought and became a little anxious, so he continued:
“Although you are certainly not afraid of the Four Divine Beasts Family, you don’t want to make enemies with them for no reason.”

“For this, I am willing to offer all the wealth of my family, and all the powerful people in my family who are above the Seven-Star Demon level, including me, are willing to swear allegiance to the Augusta Family to the Supreme God!”

"Oh? Chief Barbary is too serious."

Hankin looked at Barbary with some surprise. He didn't expect that Barbary would be so decisive and willing to swear the oath to the Supreme God.

No one can violate the oath of the Supreme God, not even the Overlord. This is the true truth of the Panlong Universe and the supreme rule.

"Barbari only asks the chief to save my family. From now on, Barbari is willing to serve the chief at his will."

Barbary gritted his teeth and fell to his knees.

A powerful Asura would usually kneel only when facing the arrival of the main god. Otherwise, he would not kneel directly even when facing the great perfection.

This time, Barbary gambled everything he had, including his dignity, wealth, and future, just to find a way to survive for his family.

"This, doesn't have to be like this, this doesn't have to be like this."

Hankin was also startled. He immediately helped Barbary up and began to think.

"How about this, Chief Barbary stay here first. I still need to discuss this matter with the tribe members."

Hankin's brain was working rapidly, and he pulled up Barbary and spoke.

"Yes, you are right. I was too impatient. I will stay here temporarily and wait for your answer, Chief."

Barbari did not continue kneeling, but stood up immediately. He knew that for some things, it was enough to just show an attitude and not force it.

After Barbary left, Hankin was alone in the hall, lost in thought.

The so-called consultation with the tribesmen was naturally just an excuse. He was fully capable of making the decision on this matter himself. It was just a matter of a word.

In a large family like theirs, the patriarch usually has great power. When the main god does not speak, the patriarch can almost decide everything with just one word.

In the family of the four sacred beasts, even if the elders of the Azure Dragon clan agree on something, clan leader Gaisleson can veto it with just one word, and only the great elder Gaia can persuade him.

When Linley was fighting Emmanuel to the death, Gaslesen directly annulled what the elders had agreed to. If it had not been for the battle with the eight great families at the time, Linley would have been executed for disobeying him.

This is the absolute authority belonging to the patriarch.

Of course, authority also needs to be supported by strength. Later, when Lin Lei achieved great perfection, even the four clan leaders together could not order Lin Lei to do anything.

In contrast, the Four Divine Beasts family has four patriarchs, and real matters still need to be decided by the four of them together.

It's just that Geislesen is the nominal big brother, and he still makes most of the decisions.

In fact, from Han Jin's personal perspective, he does not want to take over this matter. For the family, there are benefits, but they are not worth the troubles it brings.

Although there have been constant conflicts between the Augusta family and the Four Divine Beasts family over the years, most of the time they have kept to themselves.

Their main forces are in the plane of the God of Light, and the main forces of the Four Divine Beasts families are in other planes. They will not deliberately target each other.

In a sense, this is an unspoken understanding between both parties.

It's not worth it to confront them head-on just for a Barbary.

However, Hankin remembered that hundreds of millions of years ago, his father Augusta personally came to him and gave him a task.

The mission is to provoke a conflict with the Four Divine Beasts family without leaving the plane of the God of Light, but it should not be initiated by us.

It would be better to let the Four Divine Beasts Family come to provoke us and then kill some of them.

When Han Jin first received this order, his first reaction was confusion.

Since the Four Divine Beasts family had a conflict with them once, they only retained a small number of their members in the plane of the God of Light, and would never conflict with them on weekdays.

However, their family has always been developing in the plane of the God of Light, and the family of the Four Divine Beasts does not participate in the plane war. This task is somewhat difficult to complete.

Moreover, what was this mission for? Han Jin was a little confused for a moment.

Fortunately, Augusta did not require it to be completed, but just said to try your best.

Han Jin had almost forgotten about it because he hadn't seen any opportunity in all these years, but today, he decided to give it a try.

"There are also undercurrents among the main gods."

Hankin rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and murmured softly.

Although his father did not explicitly state the reason for doing so, he knew that it must be a plan targeting the four sacred beast gods.

Even if his father Augusta didn't tell him the reason, he could probably guess it.

Father, I’m afraid he is planning to attack the four main gods of the sacred beasts and kill them.

When Hankin came to this conclusion, he was shocked, and then forced himself to forget about it and never mentioned it to anyone.

As the most outstanding son of the Lord of Light, he also has some understanding of the secrets between the main gods.

Although he did not know the details of the agreement made by the Lord God, he knew that the four masters of rules were the real masters of this world.

Although his father, the Lord of Light, is powerful, he is still far inferior to the four masters of rules and must abide by the rules of the four masters of rules.

Although the strength of the Lord of Light is not afraid of the Four Divine Beasts, if he fights with the Four Divine Beasts for no reason, it might attract the attention of the four great rule masters.

For this reason, my father planned to start with the conflict between the Four Divine Beasts Family and the Augusta Family. It would be best to provoke Gesleson to rush directly to the Light God Plane, and then arrange for someone to kill Gesleson. At that time, the Azure Dragon Lord God would definitely take revenge, and my father could directly stop it, and the battle between the two sides would be inevitable.

In this way, my father stood on the moral high ground, and it was the Four Divine Beasts Family who took action first, and did not violate the rules.

At the same time, if the main gods of the four sacred beasts leave hell, they can avoid the interference of the Lord of Destruction and successfully obtain the main godhood.

Thinking of this, Hanjin made up his mind. Tomorrow, he would announce that Barbary would join the Augusta family and become an honorary elder, and his clansmen would be incorporated into the family as outer disciples.

Afterwards, they announced directly to the public that no one would be allowed to attack them. Although they did not directly name the Four Divine Beasts family, it was believed that with the character of their family, they would not be able to tolerate this.

So, the next day, at the Augusta family meeting, Hankin directly issued a patriarchal order, declaring Barbary as the honorary elder of the family.

Barbary also kept his promise. In front of everyone, he swore in the name of the Supreme God that he would always be loyal to Chief Hanjin.

This news spread quickly in the plane of the God of Light, and some well-informed big families immediately realized that something was going to happen.

……

Fifteen years later, news about Barbary reached Hell and the Tianji Mountains, and the entire family of the Four Sacred Beasts became excited.

One by one, the elders rushed to the patriarch, clamoring to go to war with the Augusta family until death.

Even a few mild-mannered conservative elders asked the patriarch for permission to fight.

This gave the four clan leaders a headache. For the first time, these radical factions felt that these elders were too radical.

Although the four people of Gesleisen are usually domineering and are undoubtedly radicals.

But at the same time, as clan leaders, they bear responsibility and know that when faced with truly major events, they must first remain calm.

Therefore, they could only appease the tribesmen first, asking them not to get excited, and said that the family would definitely not give up, and asked them to go down and wait first.

However, some elders were very dissatisfied with this answer.

In the Qinglong Hall, Geislesen sat in the first seat, looking at the figures below with some anger.

"Bruce, are you not going to listen to me?"

Geisleson's tone was slightly deep, suppressing his anger.

The one who contradicted him was the elder of the family, Blue.

In other words, Elder Blue is a genius of the family and has the potential to become a Shura in the future. If he were an ordinary elder, Geislesen would have kicked him out long ago.

"Patriarch, Blue wouldn't dare. Blue is only doing this for the glory of the family."

Although Blue said he didn't dare, he still answered stubbornly.

"Bruce, we are not afraid of the Augusta family, but this matter is too serious, we must be prepared."

Gasleson was somewhat helpless and could only continue to persuade.

This guy Blue attaches too much importance to the honor of the family. Moreover, he is not the patriarch, so he cannot feel the responsibility and usually acts very willfully.

"Brother, we are here!"

Following a clear voice, Gaia walked in with the other three clan leaders.

"Grand Elder, three clan leaders."

Blue did not act presumptuously and quickly bowed.

"Okay, Blue, you go down first, we have something to discuss."

Gaia glanced at Blue and started to chase him away.

"Yes, Blue is leaving."

Blue responded without staying any longer, and then quickly left the Qinglong Hall.

"Brother, many elders have come to us during this period, and now the whole family is filled with indignation."

The Suzaku clan leader sat down and spoke first.

"Yes, it seems that the tribesmen are very emotional, and it is difficult to suppress them. If this continues, someone might secretly come to kill us."

The Xuanwu clan leader, who was sitting on the other side, also spoke.

"But do we really have to fight the Augusta family?"

Only the White Tiger Chief hesitated slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Let's start a war. Are we afraid of them? They actually dare to protect the Barbary family. They simply don't take our Four Divine Beasts family seriously."

The Xuanwu clan leader angrily slammed the table in rebuttal.

"I'm not afraid of them, I'm just worried that there will be too many casualties!"

The White Tiger tribe leader also retorted instantly.

"Okay, you two stop talking."

Seeing this, Geislesen directly scolded them, interrupting them, and then continued:
"The key to this matter is not whether we go to war, but whether the main gods will be affected. We are certainly not afraid of them, but the Augusta family is also a main god family after all. A full-scale war may cause conflicts among the main gods. Otherwise, I will go and ask my father for instructions."
