Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1817: Chapter 1350: Conversation (2)

Instead it was Su Yuan...

During the repeated confrontations, in the decisive battle within the Chaotic Star Domain, the Absolute Heaven Sword increasingly favored this human King Level who repeatedly rose to the challenge and sliced through countless difficulties.

Thus, this meeting occurred. The sword intent clash just now was also considered a test by the Absolute Heaven Sword.

Of course, the proud Absolute Heaven Sword would not easily serve under anyone’s command... especially a King Level?

The Absolute Heaven Sword came this time merely to reconfirm if Su Yuan had the qualifications to become its Imperial Master.

And the true submission of this sword and taking it from the Grey Realm might only be possible after reaching Emperor Level.

But Su Yuan knows that he has already received some recognition from the Absolute Heaven Sword, which is already good news.

A swordsman’s yearning for a treasure sword needs no lengthy words.

Compared to the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber and the Glazed Tianqing in incubation, compared to the Riding Light Sword and True Que Sword previously used...

This Space Divine Artifact, the Absolute Heaven Sword, is undoubtedly the most suitable Divine Sword for Su Yuan!

Su Yuan had coveted this sword for a long time, but unfortunately, it was neither a component of a Divine Artifact nor had any strength depletion, and was not something he could forcibly retain.

Unexpectedly, today he got the chance to take charge of this sword...

Su Yuan collected his thoughts after deliberation and looked up at Ba Shu: "Ba Shu, I didn’t expect you could summon the Absolute Heaven Sword."

Presuming to decide Qingming Realm can be said to be quite threatening!

Ba Shu immediately bowed and said, "What virtue and capabilities does a young girl have to drive the Absolute Heaven Sword? It was only attracted by Your Excellency Su Yuan, wanting to meet again through my hand. The little girl certainly dares not harbor any ill intentions towards Your Excellency."

Su Yuan, in good spirits, knowing her intentions were indeed harmless didn’t further blame her, after brief contemplation, he smiled: "Speak, what do you want?"

With so much setup in front, Su Yuan could absolutely see she seemingly still had requests.

And Ba Shu took a deep breath and said, "As a demon of the Grey Realm Order Imperial Court, I am willing to take root in the Grey Realm for Your Excellency Su Yuan, monitor movements, expand forces, and even... gradually control the Grey Realm!"

"Oh?"

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Ba Shu who was wearing a golden crown adornment, serious and earnest, unexpectedly, the opponent tossed such a huge "pie"!

Through her eyes, Su Yuan could easily see some kind of ambition burning in her depths.

And Ba Shu had no intention of hiding it.

Su Yuan gently tapped the armrest, didn’t rush to respond, instead asked in turn: "In your view, after the defeat in Chaotic Star Domain, what will be the situation within the Grey Realm?"

Without hesitation, Ba Shu said: "After the battle of the Chaotic Star Domain, the corps of King Level from the Four Great Royal Courts, along with Eight Divine Generals, were wholly wiped out, Sky-reaching Divine Tree perishing, basically annihilated, ending disastrously.

Now, even though the Grey Realm has some King Level experts, within ten thousand years it won’t be a threat to the Blue Sea, unless an Emperor Level personally intervenes.

Within the Grey Realm, due to this defeat, the ’Reform Faction’ which used to dominate the Grey Realm might face targeting, shifting towards the ’Ancient Faction’."

"Reform Faction, Ancient Faction..." Su Yuan thoughtfully said slowly, "It sounds like not all Emperor Levels in the Grey Realm advocate invading other worlds?"

Ba Shu nodded and said: "The Grey Realm is a realm on its own, having the special cosmic function of Power of Reincarnation Soul, as long as it keeps its cosmic function, the Grey Realm can remain eternally stable.

Countless years have been like this.

However, nothing in the cosmos is immutable, and as the Great Thousand Universe constantly changes, some Emperor Levels in the Grey Realm started having other thoughts.

For thousands of years, these Emperor Levels have been leading invasions into various worlds, plundering resources, enhancing strengths. This section is called the ’Reform Faction’.

Whereas the Ancient Faction resists entering Other Realms, just wanting to keep the Grey Realm’s own cosmic function, maintain the rotation of the Grey Realm and the Great Thousand Universe, is a part of the Emperor Levels, also called the Conservative Faction.

Of course, there’s also a Neutral Faction observing between the two."

Su Yuan’s eyes slightly moved, thinking the "resources" mentioned by Ba Shu, the most crucial might be "Hongmeng Purple Qi".

Every world has Hongmeng Purple Qi, only differing in quantity, it stimulates the growth and evolution of the world...

Thinking along these lines, the forty wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi acquired from Turbulent Emperor were likely plundered from other worlds.

Ba Shu continued: "There are a total of twelve Emperor Levels in the Grey Realm, initially there weren’t many from the Reform Faction, but these years succeeding invasions of other worlds repeatedly, achieving results, seizing resources, has expanded the voice of the Reform Faction, even the Neutral Faction Emperor Levels are continuously leaning towards the Reform Faction.

Thus this time, upon discovering the Blue Sea Great World, the Reform Faction almost without obstruction pushed the full-scale invasion plan of the Blue Sea, being able to mobilize the Eight Divine Generals and all troops from the Four Great Royal Courts, which constitutes over ninety percent of the potential of Grey Realm’s Imperial Substitutes!"

Su Yuan slightly leaned forward, looked up at Ba Shu and asked: "So... which faction are you?"

Ba Shu’s breath stalled, then solemnly said: "The little girl is of course the ’Qingming Sect’."

"There’s no Qingming Sect." Su Yuan chuckled lightly, then said, "However, just relying on you to ’control’ the Grey Realm is nigh impossible, akin to climbing the heavens!"

Upon hearing these words from Su Yuan, Ba Shu’s eyes instantly brightened.

Su Yuan merely mentioned it was extremely difficult, didn’t reject it... it seems she executed this step correctly!

Ba Shu smiled and said: "With just the little girl, naturally impossible, but if having Your Excellency Su Yuan’s support, Ba Shu has the confidence!"

Su Yuan said: "You and I are neither the same kind, nor of the same camp, seems you trust me quite a lot?"

"Why not?"

Ba Shu looked directly at Su Yuan, unhesitatingly revealing the fervent reverence in her eyes, charmingly smiled: "Since knowing Your Excellency Su Yuan, overcoming countless difficulties, reversing the heavens and earth, his journey is full of world-shaking feats, turning impossibility into possibility.

Thus the young girl believes, as long as having Your Excellency’s support, then everything is possible."

Su Yuan shook his head with a light smile, said: "These words sound nice, but are too superficial."

Ba Shu naturally knew, merely by flattering words wouldn’t convince Su Yuan, thus said: "In fact, previously the young girl had quite some connections with an Emperor Level from the Neutral Faction.

Currently, with over ninety percent of Grey Realm’s King Level demolished, manpower is in shortage, returning would surely receive valuable assignments, and the relationship between me and Your Excellency, is not a concern.

Additionally, Your Excellency Su Yuan already received preliminary recognition from the Absolute Heaven Sword, and as the King of Space, I might bask in your glory, becoming the Imperial Substitute for the Absolute Heaven Sword!"

Ba Shu’s words today were clearly prepared for a long time.

As expressed right off the bat, Ba Shu had long realized her awkward position within the Qingming Realm.

Others kept getting closer to Su Yuan, but only she kept becoming more marginal.

Such a situation couldn’t fundamentally change under the environment of Beast Tribulation, hence Ba Shu acted very prudently.

But now, Grey Realm’s defeat unexpectedly allowed Ba Shu to find a new direction.

In this direction, Ba Shu’s identity as a Grey Realm demon beast instead became a unique trait!

Actually, Su Yuan hadn’t thought of these initially because the matter looked extremely difficult for now.

After all, a mere King Level like Ba Shu, what kind of waves could she create in the Grey Realm?

But the appearance of the Absolute Heaven Sword, Ba Shu’s self-motivated ambition, paired with Grey Realm’s current situation, indeed prompted Su Yuan’s thoughts.

Rumors long circulate in the Blue Sea Realm about the saying of three tribulations, now the Beast Tribulation is past, the Heavenly Tribulation’s timing and nature are uncertain, though discernible traces from Bodhi Sect’s actions indicate entanglement with All Heavens realms.

Judging from the tip of the iceberg from Cangding, and Dong You Two Realms I encountered, their strengths must surpass the Blue Sea.

If a force could stealthily lurk within the Grey Realm, not only monitoring Grey Realm’s actions but during future dealings with the Heavenly Tribulation perhaps could add a usable piece on the chessboard.

After all, keeping Ba Shu by the side was just a spare piece, better positioned in the most fitting place, attempt utilizing it.

Perhaps, there might be extraordinary effectiveness.
