"Probably." Li Xiang could not possibly say that he had seen Lancelot in his previous life. He looked at Lancelot, who was sitting on the throne. Lancelot was now much younger than he had been when he was at the end of his rope. His gaze was sharper and he was more confident.
"You don't seem surprised at all?" Lancelot propped his chin up and looked at him, then laughed softly. "Did that girl Yuhan tell you?"
"Is that important?" Li Xiang looked at him and asked calmly, "You didn't ask me to come here just to ask such boring questions, did you?"
"Your temper is much worse than what I've heard." Lancelot looked at his only son as if he was looking at a masterpiece. It was rare for him to have such complicated feelings. "Do you think that I've become a Disaster, so you don't want to talk to me?"
"People who walk different paths cannot work together. I do admire your mechanical talents, and I'm very grateful for the things you left behind for me. However, since you've chosen the Disaster camp, you should know that we don't stand on the same side." Li Xiang nodded solemnly. These were not empty words; they were sincere.
In the past, Li Xiang did not care about the conflict between the human camp and the Disaster camp. However, in the past few years, he had been deeply affected by the Polar night and the lighthouse. He had made his stance clear. If the human camp was destroyed, he would not be able to stand alone.
"Is this also the reason why you rejected Lily?" Lancelot seemed to be very confused by his decision. He tilted his head to look at his son and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how many people can only dream of having your talent and opportunity? As long as you're willing, I can make you an anthropomorphic Disaster like Yu 'er and rule the sea of stars with me. "
"I'm neither a Disaster nor a human. I won't lose myself for mere power." Li Xiang shook his head and refused seriously. "You should know what I'm thinking."
"Yes, only my son has the courage and strength to use the technology I left behind to build a wall to stop me." Lancelot nodded. He wasn't surprised by Li Xiang's answer, but he couldn't understand why Li Xiang was so determined to side with the humans. "But did you know that you've only obtained a portion of the Origin Substance extraction technology and the Disaster weapon manufacturing technology? It's not complete."
The core technology was still in Lancelot's hands.
"I know that what you've left behind can only be considered a prototype of the initial stage of research. There are too many unfinished points behind it. At first, I thought that it was because you didn't have enough time to delve into the research, but some time ago, when I was making mechanical creatures, I thought of a problem. "
Li Xiang answered truthfully.
"Since you were able to reach Level 9 in terms of cultivation, how could you not have delved deeper into the path of machinery that you are most proficient in? I'm afraid you've already reached a very high level in these two techniques, but you didn't leave them for me. "
"That's right. Since you've inherited my legacy, if you can't even complete such a small thing, then you don't have the right to receive more. Lily and I had studied the Origin Substance extraction and Disaster weapon creation techniques to the highest level, but we had never shown them to the Seven Continents before. What I left to Wessex wasn't the highest level of technology either. Do you know where those things are? "
Lancelot was very satisfied with his understanding.
"Could it be … in the New World?" Li Xiang muttered to himself for a moment, then suddenly looked at him.
"Smart." Lancelot nodded and replied with a smile, "That's right. These two cutting-edge technologies are stored in the New World. In fact, after researching the highest level of technology, we realized that we needed a large amount of equipment and resources. However, once these two technologies are exposed, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace for the rest of our lives. What does an endless supply of Origin Substance and mass-produced Disaster Weapons mean? "
"It means that the number of players will no longer be low, and the number of players with high combat strength will increase at the same time. The strength of the human camp will increase tremendously, and we will no longer be chickens and ducks reared in the Disaster Cage. However, at the same time, it also means … a fight for benefits. "
Li Xiang sighed, understanding what he meant.
Even if he and Bai Lili were above Level 9, in the face of such temptation, the Level 9 players would not be able to remain calm. In the end, it might develop into a war between Level 9 players.
In order to obtain these two technologies, anything could be given up.
With the inherent inferiority of humans, how many people would first think of contributing to the human camp?
"Looks like you know better than I do. Exposing these two technologies rashly would only bring endless trouble, so Lili and I decided to hide them in a place where no one could go. At that time, the Emperor Tribe came to us. " A hint of disdain and gloom flashed through Lancelot's eyes. "I left the initial prototype of the research to you, then I left the perfected Origin Substance extraction technology to my brother. After that, I accepted the Emperor Tribe's invitation."
"When did this happen?" Li Xiang vaguely felt that he was about to touch on the truth and the key to the matter.
"Not long before we went to the Eternal Gate." Lancelot sneered a few times. Fei Yujing heard that it was related to the Eternal Gate, so she secretly pricked up her ears to listen carefully. "Because the information about the Eternal Gate was what the Emperor Tribe used to exchange the technologies with us."
"After receiving that information, we rushed to the Eternal Gate together, but who would have thought …" At this point, Lancelot's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious. He gripped the handle of the Mechanical Throne with both hands and said word by word, "In order to monopolize these two technologies, the Emperor Tribe secretly colluded with Bai Shili and the others to attack us at the Eternal Gate!"
"If Lili and I had died there, then they could have monopolized these two technologies for the rest of their lives and completely control the seven continents, turning the seven continents into their puppets. Bai Shili and the others would have also become vested interests."
The truth was actually like this!
"How could this be? Didn't Master Polar Night and Master Night King also go to the Eternal Gate with you? "Li Xiang looked at him in disbelief.
If going to the Eternal Gate was a sure-kill situation, then it would be too cruel for Lancelot and Bai Lili.
"Not all of them colluded with the Emperor Tribe. Only Bai Shili and Ji Ning are involved. As for the others, at most, they added fuel to the fire. That's why they didn't dare to mention how I was trapped at the Eternal Gate. Heh, I heard that Bai Shili took good care of you and Ye Tong. He's quite a good person. "Lancelot's laughter was filled with disdain.
Li Xiang fell silent.
He did not dare to believe what anyone said about the truth, but Lancelot was probably right.
It was not impossible for them to betray them for the two technologies.
No wonder the Five Kings and the others were so afraid of the Eternal Gate. It was widely rumored that the White King did not take responsibility at the critical moment, resulting in Lancelot's death.
If the mastermind was the Emperor Tribe, then many things could be explained.
Moreover, only the New World had the conditions to support the use of these two complete technologies.
"The Emperor Tribe. What kind of existence is the Emperor Tribe?" Li Xiang looked at Lancelot and said slowly, "I'm afraid that's the real reason why you asked me to come here."
"The Emperor Tribe is just a group of ordinary people." Regarding the Emperor Tribe, Lancelot's answer was surprisingly similar to the White King's.
The Emperor Tribe was just a group of ordinary people.
"The White King told me that he wanted humans, the galaxy, and even the New World, a truly complete world after unification. He was not someone who was willing to submit to the Emperor Tribe. His view of the Emperor Tribe is exactly the same as yours. "
Lancelot did not seem surprised by this answer. He nodded and said, "Of course. I believe that everyone who has seen the Emperor Tribe thinks the same. They're just ordinary people like us. They don't have three heads and six arms. They don't have higher intelligence or stronger abilities. They're just using the Goddess of Calamity to control humans. They're just a group of pitiful creatures who have huge ambitions but don't have the ability to match them.
"The Emperor Tribe manipulated the seven continents in various ways. They got the Yue family to supply women and restricted the respawn of level-9 players. We had no choice but to submit to them. But with level-9 abilities, who would be willing to submit to them?
"They helped the Emperor Tribe deal with Lily and me back then only because they coveted those two technologies. When the matter was exposed, they had no choice but to kill me and kill Lily in the name of the evil leader. We can only blame ourselves for being too naive. If we had come into contact with this place earlier, I wouldn't have had so many fantasies about humans.
"I'm not interested in the past. What do you want me to help you with?" Li Xiang did not continue this topic. Who was right and who was wrong in those matters was still not the history written by the victors. Since he and Lily had failed, they naturally became the ones who were smeared.
If one day, they counterattacked and overturned the current human camp and Calamity camp, then history would be rewritten according to their wishes. History was just a toy in the hands of the strong.
Lancelot smiled and said, "It's very simple. Now, Lily, the level-9 human players, and the dominators all want the so-called complete world. Each of us has our own forces and camps. Lily and I are also opponents. You should know that she's hiding in the New World, right? "
"Does it have something to do with the Goddess of Calamity?" Li Xiang nodded. Everything that had happened before was linked together. He could not deny this speculation.
Bai Lili must be hiding in the New World and had been continuing to be active in the seven continents under the identities of Mysterious Person L and the evil leader. Her real body was very likely to have controlled the Goddess of Calamity. That was why she had done so many inexplicable things.
For example, asking the Five Kings to destroy Lighthouse Academy.
The Emperor Tribe was also in the New World. How did she and the Emperor Tribe coexist? This was the only thing Li Xiang was puzzled about.
"It seems like you're more well-informed than I expected." Lancelot stopped smiling and looked at him. He said word by word, "Although I don't want to admit it, I think the Emperor Tribe has most likely been exterminated."
"Exterminated?!"
Fei Yujing exclaimed at the same time.
She and Li Xiang looked at each other and saw the same shock and fear in each other's eyes.
That was a high and mighty super mysterious family. They had technology and worlds that they did not know about. They had been controlling the seven continents from afar. Even the Yue family could only be their breeding machine.
After this theory was put forward, Li Xiang suddenly felt that the possibility was indeed very high.
If the Emperor Tribe was no longer the true master of the New World, then the changes in the Goddess of Calamity's system and the Emperor Tribe's silence all these years could be explained.
"I was locked in the Eternal Gate. It was a world that could not be described with words. There were countless true supreme existences in it. I used to think that level-9 and above were the limit. The so-called level-10 was just a realm that we imagined. Whether it was cultivation or machinery, I had reached the end. However, it was not until I met those supreme existences that I understood that everything was just the beginning. "
Lancelot looked at him meaningfully, then looked at Fei Yujing, who also seemed to have understood something.
He did not elaborate further.
"After leaving the Eternal Gate, I fell into the depths of the sea of stars and was mutated into Calamity. Then, I slowly evolved from Grade-F to Overlord, becoming an existence that can rival the dominators. During this time, my understanding of the seven continents only came from the anthropomorphic Calamities. My knowledge is limited. I heard that Lily was later purged as the evil leader. She probably used that disaster to escape to the New World.
"I have a vague memory of the New World in my memory. Ye Tong has it too. I'm afraid your speculation is true. When she was pregnant, she brought Ye Tong and me to live in the New World. Those people I don't know should be the members of the Emperor Tribe. However, I don't know how she controlled the Goddess of Calamity's system. "
Li Xiang nodded.
If she really completely controlled the Goddess of Calamity's system, then many of his previous doubts would be easily solved.
However, the Emperor Tribe would definitely not allow a woman that they had wanted to kill to ride on their heads.
There could only be one result.
One party died.
"Then the level-9 conscription order this time." Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
"She did it," Lancelot said with certainty. "Not only that, she kept using our technology to export new anthropomorphic Calamities. This was an important result of our research in the past, modifying the Calamities. There are no absolute friends, only absolute benefits. She sent the phantom with a thousand fangs to us to cooperate and monitor us. However, this little fellow clearly has her own thoughts. "
The phantom with a thousand fangs listened to this with a calm expression.
"In short, at our level, schemes and tricks are useless. Only strength is king. We want to break through the Great Wall of Calamity's obstruction and confront Bai Shili and the others head-on. You can't stop this. Also, I hope that you can stand on my side. It's not for the humans, nor for the Calamities. It's just to take back the technology that originally belonged to us.
"After we take back the technology of the New World, I can promise you that I'll carve out an area for you. I guarantee that you won't be harmed. You can place all the people you cherish there. Isn't this what you've always wanted? Otherwise, when war breaks out, do you think you can stay out of it? Or do you really think that the rotten human camp can be the final winner? "
"The ruler, Master Bai Lili, Master Lancelot, and the human camp. Among the four sides, the human camp is the weakest," Fei Yujing added.
