Those aristocratic families, with the support of the big shots behind them, were planning to force the Polar Night Organization and Lighthouse Academy into a desperate situation. Li Xiang released them batch by batch and was determined not to change any of the terms of exchange. As long as he refused, those aristocratic children who were trapped behind the first Lighthouse and transferred out would be beheaded.
Their heads would be sent back to those families to show Li Xiang's iron will and uncompromising attitude.
He used dozens of heads to show his toughness to the people of the seven continents. Since then, no family dared to have any illusions. They would either agree to the terms or send someone to take their heads.
Li Xiang's violent behavior had become the source of many people's condemnation. His name had also changed from an idol of the commoners to a spokesperson for bloodshed. However, it was this iron will that had protected many of his companions from the Polar Night Organization and Lighthouse Academy.
They successfully retreated from the seven continents to the Jade Forest. When the dust was about to settle, words such as "the son of the devil is still a devil", "the son of the evil leader", and "the new Tarot Fool is the new scourge of the seven continents" were spreading like wildfire. Finally, some forces went to the headquarters of the Polar night organization and demanded that Li Xiang be handed over. Otherwise, all the remaining members of the Polar night organization and Lighthouse Academy would be massacred!
At the same time, the White King, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
He asked Bai Dongxue, who was once considered Li Xiang's biggest enemy, to bring the white dragon token of the Bai family. The token represented the White King's presence, which was as powerful as the Decree of the Five Kings. In the Subcontinent, every order had to be obeyed.
Bai Dongxue announced that the Bai family, one of the Five Kings, would invest in the Crimson Moon and become the biggest shareholder. According to the Decree of the Five Kings, Li Xiang had the right to establish a family of the upper class and to join the Alliance of Aristocratic Families.
At the moment, the Crimson Moon was gaining momentum. No one knew how he managed it, but it had grown so much in just one year. None of the upper class families of the seven continents could compete with him.
However, he didn't rely on any organization.
Many people had suspected that some major forces were secretly supporting the Crimson Moon. Otherwise, the Crimson Moon would have been involved in the most expensive military industry! Where did the money come from? If he hadn't cooperated with Wessex, just the Origin Substance alone would have been enough to drain him dry!
How could he have the spare energy to develop anything else?
The truth was that Scarlet Moon had developed extremely quickly. The company had already integrated into all aspects of City 0126 and had also penetrated into the surrounding numbered cities. Scarlet Heavy Industries started out as a studio and was currently the largest firearms manufacturer in the seven continents other than the two major heavy industries.
This meant that if they continued to expand and develop, it was very likely that there would be a third super giant after Dong Ling Heavy Industry and Bai Clan Heavy Industry. At that time, even if there were not three sides, it would be enough to cause earth-shaking changes in the structure of the seven continents.
After all, other than these two major forces, even the other Sovereigns relied on the two major heavy industries for most of their machinery and infrastructure. Now that there was a third party supplier, the price and quality would change. There would also be a large wave of new forces taking advantage of this opportunity to rise!
The Polar Night Magician incident had caused many people to focus their attention on the Polar Night Organization and Lighthouse Academy. They coveted the Magic Crystal Dust and Crystal Cores, but were also worried about the Polar Night Organization's revenge. They couldn't wait to get rid of them all. The various forces had been entangled for several months, and now the White King had suddenly released the White Dragon Token.
Only then did they come to a realization.
The source of everything had long shifted from the Polar Night Organization to this Li Xiang!
They had to admit that to solve all the current problems, the first thing they needed to solve was this Level-3 Magician who was previously ignored by many players.
The most famous student of Lighthouse Academy, the new Chief Instructor of the Polar Night Organization, the successor of the Polar Night Organization, the son of the Evil Leader Bai Lili … All sorts of identities overlapped. After they were stunned by Li Xiang's combination of punches, the White Dragon Token made them come to their senses once again. This young man was not as simple as they had thought.
A single spark had finally started a prairie fire.
The day after the White King had made his stance clear, Wessex had also released an announcement. Duke Silo had personally answered all the doubts and expressed that Wessex would not stop the development of the Scarlet Moon Organization. They would even provide certain trading channels and give the green light to the Scarlet Heavy Industries under their banner.
After signing a hundred-year cooperation contract with the Scarlet Heavy Industries, Wessex's representative was Duke Silo's only daughter, Cecilia Wessex, who had just finished her coming-of-age ceremony and had been grandly promoted.
This heavy blow once again shocked the other forces.
Li Xiang's side must have grasped the unknown source of some Elementium. It was unknown whether it was Elementium ore or some crude extraction technique. In short, if they allowed him to continue developing, Wessex's position would also be challenged.
They all thought that Wessex would come out and resist, but they were shocked to find that Duke Silo did not care at all.
On second thought, Li Xiang's father, Lancelot, was also a member of Wessex. Although almost no one in the younger generation knew of him, the older generation had heard of him like thunder.
However, no one had expected that Duke Silo would not care at all about the fact that his younger brother was The Fool.
The critical hit continued.
As if they had agreed, the day after Wessex had made his stance clear, the Chronometer Tower also officially responded to the forces on the seven continents that had raised their heads in anticipation. They had indeed obtained the mysterious magic scroll left behind by the Lord Polar night.
It also confirmed Li Xiang's words.
This magic scroll could reopen the magic circuit of an ordinary person and increase their talent level.
As long as it was used properly, the era of magic for all was about to arrive.
The death magic circuit would also be a thing of the past.
People would no longer have to worry about whether or not they had the qualifications to be a player, or whether their talent level was not enough.
In the future, they would only need to consider how to cultivate and what direction to choose.
Once the threshold was crossed, there would be a large number of magic users in the human camp. It would be a brand new era!
The Chronometer Tower focused on research and was committed to promoting the development of mankind. The previous magic system was pioneered by the predecessors of the Chronometer Tower. Now, this magic scroll was equivalent to completely perfecting the magic system. How could they not accept it?
On the other hand, any forces that caused trouble for the Scarlet Moon without proper reasons would be blacklisted by the Chronometer Tower.
The Chronometer Tower would no longer work with them. The Chronometer Tower Consortium University under their name would no longer accept the disciples of these forces, and so on.
Then, if they did not deal with the Scarlet Moon, it should be fine to deal with the Polar night organization and Lighthouse Academy again, right?
It was really not possible.
On the last day, Li Xiang made the final announcement.
The Polar night organization was disbanded, Lighthouse Academy was withdrawn, and the two major forces were removed from the seven continents. The remaining people would all enter the Scarlet Moon and become a part of it.
The headquarters of the Scarlet Moon would also move into the Emerald Forest.
This wave of integration was unexpected. At first, they thought that Li Xiang would have the idea of rebuilding the Polar night and Lighthouse Academy. They did not expect him to simply merge them.
Suddenly, the group of forces felt like they were clowns, being played in circles.
They had sent so many people to besiege Lighthouse Academy and waited so long for the fall of the great Polar night, but they were made a fool of. Countless young descendants were trapped. They were so angry that they went to intercept and kill them, but they were told that the other party now had a new protective umbrella …
The whole time, they were just being bullied and looking for trouble.
All these were the tricks of the young man called Li Xiang.
This huge scroll was decided on a day when Li Xiang and the Polar night had a private conversation. Polar night's thinking was very simple. As long as the Lighthouse concept and Polar night belief still existed in this world, it was enough. As for the forces, it was just a cover, everything was the same.
Just like the fall of the Polar night mage, there would be a new successor. Li Xiang would become a Polar night player, and then lead countless players under him to break this true Polar night that imprisoned all of them.
Welcome dawn.
This was the most important thing.
As for the Bai family and Wessex, it was also part of Li Xiang's feedback after compromising.
On Wessex's side, they had never seen Lancelot as a traitor.
Ever since Bai Lili's death, Duke Silo had focused all of his attention on creating a perfect mechanical creature for Bai Lili, ignoring everything else. Even his own daughter had been modified into a mechanical creature. His stubbornness and focus were just like his love for Bai Lili that was deeply buried, making it hard for others to understand.
All these years, it was very difficult for the Five Kings to see this mechanical master who stood at the peak of mankind. No one knew what he was thinking. This time, he had pushed Cecilia out, obviously intending to give Wessex to his daughter.
"In my father's eyes, whether it's me, my family, or even the whole of Wessex, nothing is more important than that woman."
Cecilia said so that day, her eyes filled with unwillingness and confusion.
She wanted to cooperate with Li Xiang to prove her value to her father.
From Li Xiang's point of view, this could only be beneficial, so of course, he agreed.
What he needed now was time, more time, and more help!
Sophia had made close to a thousand sand table simulations, and the result was that Polar night had fallen, Polar night had been overturned, the Lighthouse had been extinguished, and blood had flowed like a river.
No one could change this outcome.
That was why she had objected to Li Xiang taking over the Rose Maids.
That day, after he had broken her calculations for the first time, Sophia decided to take a gamble for the first time.
A miracle happened.
Li Xiang had once again broken the result of her countless sand table deductions.
It seemed that everything that involved Li Xiang's fate had become inaccurate and unknown.
This gave Sophia and countless others more confidence, but Li Xiang knew that the source of this confidence was his continuous growth and improvement.
Therefore, one could never have too much time and resources.
In just a few short months, he had completed all the arrangements, forcefully pulling the Polar night organization and Lighthouse Academy back from the brink of destruction. Then, he pushed the Scarlet Moon out, using the giants to gain a foothold.
End of February.
The last batch of trapped youths were released back to their families, and the Scarlet Moon also obtained the last large sum of wealth, finally advancing from an upper-class family to an aristocratic family!
At the same time, the ten trainees that Li Xiang had planted also quietly entered the ten aristocratic families, becoming secret pawns that only he knew about.
On the first day of March, Li Xiang set out to return to the Bai family.
Bai Dongxue brought Baimiya, Bai Shihu, and Bai Yuhan quietly to the Polar night headquarters, taking away Li Xiang and Li Yetong.
Yetong was the one who felt it the most.
She remembered that it was the same night, with the stars and the breeze. Among the group, Bai Haiting had been replaced by Bai Dongxue, and nothing else had changed.
Oh, she was no longer in a wheelchair, and she had the brother that she missed dearly by her side.
Li Yetong never thought that her brother would agree to the White King's request to return to the Bai family.
From what she knew, her brother had never compromised, whether to his own people or enemies.
But this time, for the sake of Polar night, for Lighthouse, for the sake of the Scarlet Moon, he was willing to compromise.
In her opinion, this was the greatest form of intransigence.
He was unwilling to submit to the path that fate had arranged. If you want me to do this, I will not.
That sense of resistance that came from his bones fascinated her.
She would never forget her brother's broad and warm shoulders when they left the orphanage.
"Brother …" Li Yetong looked at Li Xiang who was standing with Bai Dongxue and the others, and suddenly smiled.
It was not Li Xiang's first time on the airship, but it was the first time that the vibration affected his state of mind.
He suddenly felt a little hesitant.
There were a few backup plans in the original plan, and he did not have to return to the Bai family.
But the White King's invitation this time gave him a different feeling.
It was as if something was calling him back.
The cabin was filled with the smell of alcohol, and black smoke billowed from the boiler room at the back of the airship, dragging a long trail behind it.
"Welcome home, I said, you will definitely come back." Bai Shihu raised his glass and drank.
"I am only willing to go to the Bai family to see him, I will not choose to return to the family tree." Li Xiang shook his head and said calmly, "I will not belong to any branch family, nor the main family. I have the Crimson Moon, and I will fight for it until the end. "
"You are so stubborn!" Baimiya glared at him, thinking about how she had tried to persuade him to come back, but her good intentions were treated as ill intent, and now he came back with just a few words from the White King. She was very upset.
"Hmph, you deserve it." Baimiya looked at the many wounds on his bare arms, and guessed that there were many on his body as well. These days, the Noble Families had forced him into a corner several times, if not for the White King's words, he might not have been able to survive until the Astral Turbulence.
The two of them looked at each other, and after a while, they laughed.
Looking back on their first meeting, Baimiya felt like it was a lifetime ago.
Why did this guy seem more and more pleasing to the eye? No, how could this be?
She turned her head away from Li Xiang and ran off to talk to Ye Tong.
After Baimiya left, Bai Yuhan finally had the chance to go up.
"Congratulations." Bai Yuhan raised her glass. "That time in Marquis City, you and Dale Nidley made me and Dong Xue suffer. You are very impressive."
"Thank you, I never thought that I would be able to drink and talk with you like this one day." Li Xiang smiled faintly. Back then, as the main examiner, she had raised Li Xiang to the heavens, then slammed him back down to the earth, and finally took Ye Tong away, which opened the prelude to his life in this world.
"I also never thought that the little guy I casually gave up back then would one day reach a level that even I have to look up to." Bai Yuhan looked at him deeply, and suddenly whispered in his ear, "Come to my room tonight, I have something to tell you."
