However, it was to no avail. The blockade was forcefully broken the next day. Lieutenant General Egen Lida, who was in charge of the blockade, was killed on the spot. At the same time, more than 2,000 people were killed or injured.
The federation then mobilized the armored division and marched toward Platinum City.
However, before they could get close, they were intercepted and defeated by a special team sent by the Seven Leaves Organization.
Each of these teams was led by an Emperor Armor. They were extremely powerful. The heavy armored vehicles and cannons could not catch up to them at all.
After more than ten days of battles of various scales, the federation lost five divisions, which was equivalent to an army's strength. They suffered more than 20,000 casualties.
After a painful loss of national strength, the Alan Federation finally recognized the truth. They sent an ambassador to negotiate with Lu Sheng and settled on the strangest treaty in history.
It confirmed that Platinum City would become an independent nation. The special treaty included three prefecture-level cities around it and nine county-level cities. At the same time, the Seven Leaves Organization was given limited rights to attack.
The Seven Leaves Organization was allowed to fight for the federation three times under certain conditions.
In exchange, the federation recognized Platinum City's special status, opened up an economic blockade, and paid 10 million tibs as war reparations.
Lu Sheng's personal strength was too terrifying. During the negotiation, he had infiltrated the federation's highest council hall many times. Even the president and the other councilors, who were ordinary people, could not resist his psychological guidance therapy.
Hence, under his intentional guidance, the strangest ending in history appeared.
The federation lost a war against a city and even voluntarily paid war reparations.
After Lu Sheng settled Platinum City's independence, he spent another half a month building the city into an unprecedented criminal city, a paradise for criminals.
However, every criminal who came here had to abide by the laws he set. Those who violated the law might be killed on the spot if the offense was slightly more serious.
The Seven Leaves Organization formed a law enforcement team with Bach as the law enforcement officer. Those who disobeyed would be tied up and sent to his table.
Every time they violated the law, Bach and the ogres under his command would eat a part of their body.
Once this cruel and terrifying law was announced, it immediately caused an even greater uproar. Although it was not humane, the effect was great.
Platinum City's crime rate dropped to a terrifying threshold.
After settling everything, the Seven Leaves Organization could operate everything on its own. Lu Sheng then began to deal with Esha.
…
Platinum City.
Lu Sheng stood in the shadow of the Grieving King and looked up at the huge armor that he had spent a lot of effort to create.
Esha stood not far from him. She looked dejected and helpless.
"Sha Sha, do you know why I called you here?" Lu Sheng retracted his gaze and looked at Esha, who was not far away.
"… Do you want me to leave?" Esha said with some difficulty.
She knew that with Jorin's current identity and status, he would never be interested in an ordinary girl like her.
However, she was still a little unwilling and wanted to give it a try.
"I will give you a fortune that is enough for you to squander for half your life." Lu Sheng said calmly, "Find a place to leave quietly. I don't want anything about you and me to appear on the news tomorrow."
Esha closed her eyes. Although she had considered this possibility before, she still found it hard to accept when it really happened.
When she saw Lu Sheng standing at the foot of the giant armor, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng said softly, "Sha Sha … Look into my eyes …"
Esha could not help but be attracted by his voice. However, she was shocked to discover that his eyes were like two magnets that attracted her gaze. She could not look away.
Fake memories mixed into the real memories in her mind. Jorin's existence was slowly fading away. In its place, Esha did not come to the Platinum Academy to work for someone else. Instead, she chose to come to the university she liked because she wanted to enroll in the academy.
The scenes of her interactions with Jorin were quickly erased by her psychological guidance.
After a full 10 minutes, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes.
"Pfft."
Esha slumped to the ground. However, she was immediately propped up by another mechanical tentacle.
Her eyes were tightly shut. Lu Sheng had already implanted a fake memory into her mind with the Psychological Guidance Healing Art.
Jorin's presence would slowly fade away. She would also seize the opportunity to leave before the large-scale publicity started.
It was not a good thing for Esha to be with a terrorist leader like him.
"Bring her down," Lu Sheng ordered.
Nearby, two women in black suits stepped forward and helped Esha down.
For Esha, she would become a woman abandoned by Lu Sheng. She would conceal her identity and head overseas.
With this, he could also send a message to the outside world. Esha no longer occupied an important place in Jorin's heart.
This was also a form of protection for her.
After watching Esha leave, Lu Sheng issued a series of orders. The people of Platinum Nation would take care of her in the open and in the shadows.
"Now, it's time to make arrangements for the future Seven-leaf stage." Lu Sheng took out his phone. This thing had just been invented in this world. It was extremely expensive to make, but it had also allowed a minority of people to bid farewell to the era of wired landlines.
"Summon all the councilors to see me."
Before he left, Lu Sheng had to ensure that the organization he built would not fall apart with his departure.
For Platinum City, the only key factor in maintaining the Grieving King was his extremely terrifying Harmonizing Power.
His Harmonizing Power made Platinum City invincible.
If he left, the foundation of everything would fall apart.
However, his goal was to maintain it for a few decades. Platinum Nation's model would not last forever. It would be fine as long as it could last until he left.
For Jorin, his karma did not include this. This was merely Lu Sheng's dissatisfaction with the organization he had spent so much effort to build.
"Let's hypnotize them then … Although I don't know how long they'll last, I'll do it as long as I can."
Currently, Platinum City had attracted countless criminals from all over the world to join its ranks. Among them were powerful warlords, drug lords, and mafia organizations. Terrorist organizations.
If all these forces were united, even the Alan Federation would not be able to ignore such a terrifying force that covered the entire world.
The most powerful organization would be chosen to rule Platinum City together with the Seven-leaf cultivators. Perhaps, this was a solution.
As for how to resolve the issue of the loyalty of these organizations …
Lu Sheng planned to resolve this in the upcoming Seven-leaf meeting. In hypnosis, there was a technique called suggestion. If he repeatedly strengthened the suggestion, the effect would last for many years.
This was what he planned to do next.
…
Prime Devil Sect's Devil Palace in Great Yin.
"Pcchht!"
Lu Sheng charged out of the gray rift and landed on the ground of the formation. He had just landed when the sound of something being destroyed came from behind him.
The instant he charged out of the gray rift, it was completely destroyed.
Lu Sheng's body was covered in pitch-black scale armor. The clothes on his body had been destroyed in the process of traversing.
'I didn't expect to encounter the Trickle of Time … Jorin's body has been destroyed. What a shame … But I've successfully assimilated his spirit. This is considered a success.'
Lu Sheng swung his saw-like long, spiky tail. He walked slowly on the formation veins to a corner. He opened a secret compartment, took out a set of clothes, and put them on.
He looked at the timer in the secret compartment. This was a simple timer he made using the principle of a fixed hourglass. Since it used Devil Qi and formation veins, its accuracy was not inferior to the electronic watches on Earth.
'As expected, it's only been a day.' Lu Sheng closed the secret compartment. He swiftly reverted to his human form and walked slowly out of the Research Temple.
"Rumble …"
The heavy stone door opened slowly. The disciples guarding outside hastily knelt and bowed.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Did anyone come to see me while I was in seclusion?"
"Madam came once. The acting Sect Master, Miss Duanmu Wan, came as well. But they didn't mention anything important." This disciple was Duanmu Wan's trusted aide. His main role was not to protect the Research Temple. He was in charge of leaving messages for others to report to his superiors.
Lu Sheng nodded. He went straight to the conference hall to check on the messages that came in during the day.
Half a month later, the regional bishop of the World of Pain summoned him. He had no idea how strong the regional bishop was.
Judging from Shizi Xing's strength alone, she was a Weapon Grandmaster. The regional bishop was above her, and was her direct superior.
According to the rules of the Black Society's World of Pain, the higher ranks were usually directly proportional to their strength.
Hence, the regional bishop was definitely stronger than Shizi Xing.
Sitting on the main seat in the conference hall, Lu Sheng started analyzing his strength after breaking through to a Weapon Grandmaster.
'Assuming that a Weapon Grandmaster needs a thousand years to break through, there aren't many Weapon Grandmasters with a lifespan of more than two thousand years. Among the Great Yin's Weapon Grandmasters, only one Yin Extreme Weapon Grandmaster has a record of breaking through with a lifespan of more than a thousand years.'
He caressed the jet-black jade paperweight on the table.
'If I need at least thirty years to achieve something after arriving in a world, then even if I convert the time flow to that, as long as a Weapon Grandmaster can survive for a hundred years after breaking through, he can experience one to three worlds.
'With that, I can roughly estimate the upper limit of many Weapon Grandmasters' spirit strength. For example, Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris of the Thousand Sun Sect has only succeeded his position for four hundred years after breaking through. In four hundred years, he can't experience more than twelve worlds. Fusing with twelve bodies.
'However, in some worlds, like the Winter Night Wolf world, it's impossible to reach Demigod level without several hundred years. If I encounter an individual with terrifying karma, I'll have to waste a lot of time to complete it. It's hard to say if I can even complete one in a hundred years …'
Lu Sheng did some calculations. In terms of the number of worlds he had experienced, he paled in comparison to the youngest Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris. The difference was huge.
However, judging from the strength of the First Sacred King's clone, his strength was not bad among Weapon Grandmasters. He was not weak.
'Deep Blue has greatly reduced the time I need to recover my strength after arriving. On top of that, the success rate has also greatly increased. Moreover, they aren't completely immersed in their Arrival. They still have to manage the various affairs of the Great Yin.
'Moreover, there's no guarantee that they can complete the karma in every world they arrive in.
'But I'm different. I guarantee a 100% success rate in every world. Now, let's see what I've gained from this Arrival. '
He had a thought. He opened his mouth, and his sharp tongue slowly extended out. When it opened, it revealed a platinum-colored cube.
