"After swallowing the Blood Stripe Virus and grasping their techniques, we will not need to worry that they will manipulate us in the future!
"Besides, after absorbing the dual strength of human beings and the Blood Stripe Virus, we will all evolve into brand-new, stronger human beings. It will be possible for us to break out of Iron Plateau and rule the entire Flying Star Sector!
"This will not only be the only way out for Iron Plateau but also the brightest future of the Flying Star Sector. It will even pave a new path for the advancement of the civilization of mankind!"
The more Yan Xibei talked, the more excited and crazier he became. All the blood stripes around his body were glittering and fluctuating. Cracking noises were echoing from the shell of the insect below him, too, as if metals were hitting each other. It was quite creepy.
"Bullsh * t! Bullsh * t! "
Yan Chihuo collapsed right in front of Yan Xibei. His thighs were full of blood, and his face was pale. He shouted, "If you were really thinking about the future of Iron Plateau, why didn't you say it out loud? Why did you cooperate with the Temple of Immortals and get so many people killed?"
Yan Xibei sighed and said regretfully, "Do you think that I never thought about it?
"After I made up my mind, my first thought was to disclose everything to the public and ask everybody to study the Blood Stripe Virus together with me and swallow and absorb them.
"However, on second thought, I thought of three problems that were almost unsolvable.
"Firstly, look at me. Are you willing to be like this?"
Yan Xibei pointed at the blood stripes on his body that were twisting and releasing weird redness like vipers, vines, and veins, with a self-mocking smile on his face.
"Even this?"
He then pointed at the hideous body below him that seemed to be made of several kinds of giant insects.
Before everybody replied, he shook his head slowly and said, "It's impossible. You wouldn't want to be like this unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, my plan will certainly meet with great resistance. You would rather cooperate with the Flying Star Sector than be integrated with the Blood Stripe Virus.
"Not only will you not agree with my plan, you will also think that … I've been manipulated by the Blood Stripe Virus in secret. My soul and my wisdom have been manipulated. Everything I've done is what the Blood Stripe Virus asks me to do, in order to make it flourish. It will spread to Iron Plateau and even the entire Flying Star Sector, right?
"Not bad!"
Xiong Wuji said coldly, "Master Yan, after hearing what you said, I do believe that your brain has been invaded by the Blood Stripe Virus. In other words, you have been possessed by the Blood Devil!
Yan Xibei was not angry. He smiled casually. He said calmly, "That's right! Your suspicions are very reasonable! If I were in your shoes and saw such a monster appear, I would naturally speculate that he must be possessed by the Blood Demon. I wouldn't believe half of his nonsense! "
"I've thought for a long time, but I can't find an irrefutable way to prove that I'm not possessed by the Blood Demon."
"So, I can't say it, because no one will believe me even if I say it."
"Then it's like what I said just now. You're all a bunch of blind people who were born blind. You never knew what light was. Even if I told you that I saw the cliff ahead, I also saw the path of light in the distance. None of you will believe me. You will only think that I have been bewitched by a demon. "
"I am the only one who knows clearly that I am not under the control of the Blood Stripe Virus. I am absolutely sober and rational.
"Hahahaha. If I can't explain it, I might as well not explain it at all! Even if the whole world doesn't understand me, so what? Then, I will save Iron Plateau on my own! "
"However, if I were to do it on my own, the second problem would follow, which was that I couldn't get the necessary resources to study the Blood Stripe Virus and run the experiments!
"At that time, I had been dealing with the Blood Stripe Virus for years and stopped managing the affairs of the tribe. My brother, Yan Zhengdong, was elected as the chief, too.
"I am not a man with a strong desire for power. If I suddenly meddled in the affairs of the tribe and demanded a lot of resources, it would raise suspicions!
"Although I had a lot of connections in the six tribes of Iron Plateau, it was impossible for them to transform into the enormous resources that I needed out of nowhere!
"Even if many people in the six tribes of Iron Plateau were willing to listen to my command and provide me with tremendous resources, they would certainly know that I was doing something earth-shattering!
"Thirdly, even if I could collect resources in secret and carry out my plan in secret, there was still a fatal problem that couldn't be avoided.
"It was the space residents!
"I had a clear understanding of the capability of the Iron Plateau natives and the space residents. I knew that the overall combat ability of the Iron Plateau natives was much lower than that of the space residents after thousands of years.
"Now, seeing that we're all humans, we can still maintain peace and mind our own business."
"However, if my plan was carried out on a large scale, and the Iron Plateau natives swallowed the Blood Stripe Virus and evolved into a brand-new life form …
"Would the space residents just sit by and watch?
"No, they wouldn't. Once they discovered the brand-new life form of the Iron Plateau natives, they would certainly regard us as terrible monsters and annihilate us mercilessly!
"We did not have the ability to cruise in space. We could only take their attacks passively. There was no way that we could win the war!
"Regardless of which of these three problems are solved, my plan will ultimately be nothing more than a dream!"
"Maybe, the Iron Plateau natives were not destined to die yet!
"While I was at my wits' end, I discovered that a mysterious force was active on Iron Plateau and was looking for a 'collaborator', or rather, a puppet, on Iron Plateau!"
Xiong Wuji narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "The Temple of Immortals?"
Yan Xibei nodded with a smile. "Yes, the Temple of Immortals!
"We all know the scheme of the Temple of Immortals. The organization of the so-called Immortal Cultivators is trying to resist the Cultivators. They have been infiltrating the world of Cultivators for many years, but they are still short of a lot of bottom-level warriors, or cannon fodder!
"The schemes and the harassment of the space pirates are not enough to deal with the entire world of Cultivators.
"Iron Plateau, which boasted countless excellent cannon fodder and had a grudge against the Cultivators, naturally fell into their sights!
"The Iron Plateau natives are too disobedient to be manipulated by them directly. The most convenient solution was to find a puppet on Iron Plateau and instigate a great war between the Iron Plateau natives and the space residents through the puppet.
"The puppet was very convenient. First of all, it had to have a certain level of prestige in the six tribes of Iron Plateau and be familiar with them so that it would be easier for it to control the situation in secret.
"Secondly, it couldn't be too strong. It had to be at the mercy of the Iron Plateau natives and be eliminated easily when necessary!
"Thirdly, it had to have a major weakness or a very strong need. Then, it would be easier for them to seduce it.
"Haha. Hahahaha. With the three conditions combined, who else on Iron Plateau could do it but me?
"Therefore, a leader of the Temple of Immortals, known as' Lotus King ', soon found me and tried to tempt me.
"They've thrown out two baits."
"Nominally, it was an equal cooperation between the Temple of Immortals and Iron Plateau. After the deal was done, the Flying Star Sector would be divided among us.
"On the other hand, they claimed that they had a way to treat my legs and restore my strength. They even said that they could prolong my life so that I could explore the peak of martial arts to my heart's content!
"In order to buy me over and show that the Temple of Immortals was an equal partner to Iron Plateau, they even invited me to be one of the four leaders of the Temple of Immortals, the Mountain Sea Black Lotus!
"Hilarious. Too hilarious. Those cowardly bastards only care about their own interests. An Immortal Cultivator who would betray his own mother was too naïve and hilarious!
"What kind of person did they think Yan Xibei was? Immortality? Recovery of strength? King of mountains? King of farts?
"Personal honor, gains and losses, strength and weakness, and even life and death. To me, they are as insubstantial as floating clouds, not worth mentioning at all! "
"Besides, I'd been through the unpredictable battles of the Blood Stripes and grasped the legacies of the Blood Stripes. What kind of storms hadn't I seen? How could he lose his mind over such a small profit? "
"They thought that they could buy me over by giving me the false title of 'King of the Mountain', so that I would lower my guard and be manipulated by them obediently. But they didn't know that it was exactly because of that that I was more vigilant than ever!
"The Four Kings of Immortals, the Mountain Sea Black Lotus, the Sea King, the Black King, and the Lotus King, were all super experts above the Yuanying level!
"At that time, even though I'd been recovered by the secret arts of the Temple of Immortals, my combat ability on the surface was no more than that of the Building Foundation Stage at best. What right did I have to be on par with them?
"The more they praised me, the more I realized that they were up to no good.
"Those Immortal Cultivators wanted to trade the future of Iron Plateau from me with the false title of 'King of the Mountain'!
"When all the cannon fodder ran out, wouldn't I, the 'King of the Mountain' who couldn't even defeat Jin Dan, be at their mercy?
"Good plan. Truly good plan!
"It's a pity that even the Blood Stripe Virus failed to treat Yan Xibei as a puppet. What did the Temple of Immortals do to manipulate me?
"On the surface, I pretended that I was tempted by the Temple of Immortals and joined them as the 'King of the Mountain'.
"In secret, I claimed tremendous resources from the Temple of Immortals under the pretext that I needed to make arrangements on Iron Plateau, including the most advanced research facilities and secret arts.
"While I completed the arrangements of the Temple of Immortals with the resources, I also started my own research. I also studied the best way to swallow the Blood Stripe Virus without being manipulated by the Blood Stripe Virus with the wildlings on the Dark Continent as test subjects!
"On the other hand, I communicated with a meteorite with the foreign blood inside my body and turned it into an egg of apocalypse that belonged to me!
"Don't think that you are in a common valley. This valley has been carefully selected by me over several years!
"Quite a few rarely-seen mother lodes are hidden deep below the ground of the valley, where countless precious minerals have been condensed. However, they are buried too deep for the Iron Plateau natives to explore and exploit.
"But with the egg of apocalypse, all the resources below the ground can be absorbed!
"In short, this valley is my Natural Paradise!"
"I've raised an egg of apocalypse deep inside the natural paradise. At the core of the egg of apocalypse is the strongest 'calamity-level apocalyptic beast' in history that I've carefully refined by collecting the essence of countless apocalyptic beasts!
"However, the calamity-level apocalyptic beast does not have a brain or thinking ability. It is just a body, an extremely tough body, an 'apocalyptic body'!
"Hehe. The other three kings of the Temple of Immortals all consider me an ignorant barbarian and an old fart that can be manipulated at will. They don't know that, once the apocalyptic body matures, I will be able to wield terrifying combat ability that is even higher than that of the Yuanying after I completely meld with it with the blood stripes!
