My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 469: 441

Back in the Fallen Immortal Realm, that wise Exotic Beast, Emperor Tri-Moa, once said to Lu Ya, “What we see with our own eyes is not always the truth.”

Similarly, the conclusions Li Fan has drawn now may not necessarily be entirely accurate.

It’s like blind men feeling an elephant, the perception might not present the whole situation.

But it could be part of the truth nonetheless.

The Transformation Crystal Body in his Spirit Consciousness emitted a brilliant blue light, instantly recording the myriad of thoughts turning in his mind.

Next, what Li Fan needed to consider was how to deal with the lady in green.

Not long after she finished speaking, Li Fan shook his head and replied, “[Immortal Ruins]’ power is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.”

“The impact of an existence that can even distort space-time is unpredictable.”

“You say that after severing the Immortal Termination Channel, you would be able to free yourselves from constraints and be truly free.”

“But that’s just a theory. What will actually happen, who can guarantee?”

As Li Fan slowly spoke, he observed the woman in green without giving anything away.

“After all, those places that previously detached from the Xuanhuang World have all disappeared without a trace and we couldn’t contact them anymore.”

“Did they indeed gain freedom, or have they perished inside the Immortal Ruins, who knows.”

“Otherwise, why do you think we, the [All Realms Federation], can gather so many members?”

“Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance of failure, for the entire civilization, the risk is too high.”

Li Fan stated with a slightly mocking tone.

The smile on the woman in green’s face gradually faded as she stared at Li Fan as if trying to read something from his face.

But Li Fan didn’t bat an eyelid, no leak was given away.

Only then did the woman in green said, “You’re right. That’s also the reason why I returned to the Xuanhuang World this time.”

“Currently inside the Empire, the existence of the Immortal Ruins is still a top secret held by only a small group of people. But there are no walls that can completely prevent leakage. If conservatives were to find out about this, further attempts to implement the plan of detaching from the Xuanhuang World will face even more significant obstacles.”

“By that time, even the prestige accumulated by the Imperial Royal Family over a thousand years will not be able to facilitate this plan peacefully.”

Li Fan followed up with a question: “So, you came to seek help?”

The woman in green nodded, “The princess’s determination to implement the plan of detachment from the Xuanhuang World hasn’t changed. Even though there indeed some risks, we think it’s worth it.”

“However, those disgusting nobles in the Empire may not necessarily see things the same way.”

“To avoid internal conflicts, the Empire must speed up the rate of plan execution.”

She paused, then continued: “We need to exchange for the Unified Dao Technique as soon as possible while also accelerating the accumulation of resources needed for cultivating the Splitting Realm Whale…”

Saying that, she handed over a Jade Scroll.

A glance with his spirit consciousness, it was a long list of materials needed.

After searching his memory, Li Fan found that although the unit price of these materials was not high, the quantity needed was quite astonishing.

The total expenditure was probably beyond the five million contribution points he had.

Li Fan slightly raised his eyebrows and said, “If you join the [All Realms Federation], naturally, the Federation will provide assistance as appropriate.”

“But you have decided in leaving, we are here to do business, not charity.”

The woman in green said, “As Envoy has pointed out, detaching from the Xuanhuang World could possibly lead to destruction.”

“Though the Empire still sticks to its decision, it does not prevent us from hedging our bets.”

Li Fan’s eyes flashed: “You’re saying… ”

“Yes, the Empire will divert a portion of its strength to join the United Federation of All Realms.”

“As another seed of civilization, they will stay in the Xuanhuang World. In case the Empire encounters danger in the future, they can serve as a branch to continue the Empire’s lineage,” the woman in green said straightforwardly, her eyes burning.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but sneer, “Don’t you think you’re overestimating yourselves a bit? In order not to alert those within the Empire, the force you divert will undeniably be limited. With this alone, I’m afraid it’s far from enough to exchange for the items on your list.”

The woman in green said lightly, “Envoy, you may have misunderstood. Since they will serve as the seeds of civilization to continue the Empire’s lineage, all the technology the Empire currently possesses will of course be kept. After joining the Union, these technologies can naturally be shared with the Federation.”

“Not to mention anything else, the value of the [Armor of the Beast Deity] alone, I think, should be worth most of the items on the list.”

Li Fan did not expect her to have such courage to use all the technologies they possessed as bargaining chips.

Even if their so-called “all technologies” might be discounted, just based on all the things he had seen of the Empire in Li Chenfeng’s Spirit Consciousness, it was already enticing enough for Li Fan.

Certainly, these might not be of much help in his Cultivation.

But this power system of the Empire, which is completely different from the present Xuanhuang World, could greatly enhance Li Fan’s foundation.

‘Jack of all trades and master of none’, maybe in some future Reincarnation, this power to control Exotic Beasts would come in handy.

Without much hesitation and only after a brief moment, Li Fan had made up his mind.

He decided to obtain the Empire’s technology in entirety.

Pretending to be tempted, Li Fan mused for a while, “This is a very significant matter, I can’t decide it.”

“Let me report to my superiors first and then give you a response.”

Li Fan’s response was not surprising to the woman in green.

“The longer it takes, the more problems can arise. We hope for a swift response, Envoy.”

Li Fan cupped his hands in respect and hurriedly departed.

Only the people of the Empire were left in the secret room.

“Master, do we really need to use the core technologies that have been developed by the Empire over so many years as bargaining chips?” Li Chenfeng asked reluctantly.

But the woman in green didn’t immediately answer but instead raised her eyebrows and looked up.

After putting up several restrictions, she turned to Li Chenfeng and scolded, “Have you forgotten how I taught you?”

“Survival is the top priority of civilization’s development.”

“Only by surviving, technologies and cultures have meaning.”

“If the civilization itself perishes, even if these are more glorious, what’s the use?”

Li Chenfeng was still somewhat discontented: “But…”

The woman in green interrupted him: “We’ve discussed this with the Princess and made a final decision. No need to say more!”

Seeing this, Li Chenfeng had no choice but to lower his head and give his consent.

“That man just now, I can’t read him. He is just an envoy, it seems this [All Realms Federation] really has some depth.”

The woman in green looked in the direction where Li Fan had disappeared, after a moment she spoke lightly.

Li Chenfeng was surprised, “‘Master, with your cultivation, you can’t see through him too? How high is his level of cultivation?”

The woman in green was also a bit puzzled, “Looking from the surface, his realm might not be high, but I can always sense a hint of danger from him.”
