Chapter 356 The Oriole Waits Behind, Taking Advantage of the Vulnerability

"As the saying goes, a tall building starts from the ground up. Once you have a goal, the first step is to lay the foundation. So do you have any good ideas? I mean, how to change the course of this war?"

After a cup of wine, Xiao Hongchen's mind cleared up a bit. This was a brand new challenge, but geniuses are never afraid of challenges!

However, before embarking on this challenge, they must ensure that the war unfolds in the way they desire—a situation that allows Xiao Hongchen to become the leader of civilization, while also possessing sufficient military force to suppress any dissenting voices.

As for how to lead civilization forward, that's a matter for later. If he's unsure at that time, he'll find some excuse to discuss it with Ning Wuque.

As the saying goes, "It is not shameful to ask those who are less knowledgeable than oneself." Although Xiao Hongchen is proud, he is not an arrogant person, just as Ning Wuque said:

Technological progress involves both raising and answering questions.

Sometimes the problem is more important than the answer! He laughed at the world, confident that he could solve any problem, yet he knew he couldn't succeed in solving all of them. That's when a good partner becomes extremely important.

"It's very simple! Taking advantage of a weakness may be despicable, but it's the most effective and efficient method."

Ning Wuque slammed down his wine glass, already slightly tipsy, but he wouldn't speak drunkenly in this situation. So, after using his soul power to dispel the effects of the alcohol, he continued, "How long do you think Xu Tianran, with his personality, will tolerate evil soul masters?"

"If he truly intends to keep the evil spirit masters entangled with the Sun Moon Empire for a long time before the war ends, even if he is the current emperor, the people in the Hall of Worship will no longer support him. They might even unite with others to overthrow him and install a new emperor!"

Upon hearing Ning Wuque's question, Xiao Hongchen answered without hesitation. After his successful ascension, his mind had become much sharper, and he could easily analyze Xu Tianran's purpose from the current situation: "Although I don't know what Xu Tianran's confidence is, I've heard my grandfather say that he has a teacher above him, who is the most powerful Soul Master in our Sun Moon Empire and also the Grand Elder of the Hall of Worship."

It is foreseeable that once the war comes to an end, Xu Tianran will inevitably be forced to fight the Evil Soul Masters under pressure from everyone. Only in this way can the desired outcome be achieved: the true unification of the empire! But until then, the Evil Soul Masters are undoubtedly and unshakeably allies of the empire.

"So that's five to six years? If I said I was confident I could become invincible within seven years, do you think I would have a chance to swallow everything up while all other forces are weakened?"

Ning Wuque spoke with great confidence.

He has now reached level 60. All he needs to do after returning is complete the fifth stage of opening the channel between his mind and body, and he can immediately obtain his sixth soul ring and become a Soul Emperor.

At that time, his martial soul will have completed its full evolution, and his combat power will be enhanced by several levels!

Not to mention that Ning Wuque felt that once he broke through the sixth level, his fourth, fifth, and sixth Qi and Blood Soul Rings might bring him a qualitative change, just like his first, second, and third Qi and Blood Soul Rings!

In two years, at most, he could break through to the Soul Saint level by stepping on his right foot with his left foot, and then in four years at most, he could break through from Soul Saint to Soul Douluo.

With each breakthrough resulting in a doubling or even several-fold increase in combat power, he might have been qualified to fight against a Limit Douluo even at the Soul Douluo level! This would mean directly entering the ranks of those with ultimate combat power!

"Opportunity? You're far too insecure. According to my calculations, based on your bizarre growth curve, I conservatively estimate that in seven years you will have power comparable to or even stronger than a level 98 Super Douluo."

Xiao Hongchen chuckled lightly, pouring himself a drink as he replied, "When the limit of evil soul masters is gone and the empire's remaining strength is exhausted, you won't need my help. You can clean up this mess by yourself, not to mention the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School with at least four Super Douluo-level combatants behind you. One of them is even ninety-eight. No, perhaps you have a way to help him break through to ninety-nine? This is also a very likely variable."

To be honest, I really can't imagine why you would lose in this situation where everyone is severely weakened! At that point, with our combined efforts from within and without, the war does indeed have a very high probability of turning out the way we both hope for, but the problem remains: you don't have seven years to develop to that point.

"Five years. According to my calculations, the war will last at most five years from start to finish. Two years will be for the empire to reorganize its military, and three years will be enough for the Regent's Consort to take over the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms."

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Hongchen knew very well that they didn't have time to wait for Ning Wuque to become invincible, not to mention that the three parties in the war were not at their weakest point until the war ended: "In fact, the time for the conflict with the evil soul masters will only be earlier. I estimate that Xu Tianran will have to take action under pressure from all sides about half a year after the war ends. So we only have about four and a half years to intervene. At that time, you will probably be around level 75."

"What if I could help you break through to the Limit Douluo level with the Poison Immortal of the Body Sect? Or even help you break through to the Soul Douluo level while nourishing and even evolving your Martial Soul? What are your chances of taking the entire Sun Moon Empire from Xu Tianran at that time?"

Ning Wuque poured himself a glass of wine, his eyes narrowing. Since there wasn't enough time, he would use money and resources to buy time!

Their plan was contingent on winning the war and seizing the fruits of victory from the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun and Moon Empire's royal family. Only then would Xiao Hongchen have enough influence to guide the new era's ship of war to sail carefree on the chaotic post-war seas.

Ning Wuque, on the other hand, would have ample time to become invincible before others who wanted to destroy the sailboat could act, thus providing Xiao Hongchen with support and enabling him to create a more perfect world!

If he doesn't leave any trace of change in this world, wouldn't his time travel have been in vain? He can't let this world remain unchanged for ten thousand years from now without any change.

"You really are willing to part with your precious treasure."

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, and besides, I don't want the world to become worse because of war. I don't love this world, but if I can change it into the way I like it, then this little price is insignificant."

"Tch—well, I can't let your kindness go to waste, so I'll make it perfect! Even if it's not perfect, I'll make it perfect!"

Peng!

With a heavy thud, Xiao Hongchen slammed his wine glass onto the table with a serious expression.
