Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 611 - 598: Protagonist
"Pluck the ripe fruit of the Ancient Immortal Realm, allowing the Nine Major Groups to surpass the Master of Primordial Yi as the true Sovereign!?"
Alkaid's mind stirred.
At this moment, he seemed to have grasped something.
The Nine Major Groups and the Master of Primordial Yi were never in a subordinate relationship, but rather in a collaborative one.
However, in this collaboration, the Master of Primordial Yi had always been in a dominant position.
Because...
The Master of Primordial Yi represented the will of all beings in the Chaotic Origin Realm.
He and the Nine Major Groups were never on the same side.
And for this reason, often in the seemingly united Chaotic Origin Realm, there would appear situations where the Nine Major Groups would drag their feet.
But if this time, the Nine Major Groups could breach the Ancient Immortal Realm and become the biggest beneficiary, then, the Nine Major Groups would give birth to two, three, or even four or five Sovereigns!
The emergence of these Sovereigns would severely split the rights and benefits of the Master of Primordial Yi.
If successful...
The Nine Major Groups would completely overshadow the Master of Primordial Yi, turning him into a puppet ruler in their hands.
Just like...
A government ruled by a conglomerate of corporations.
Moreover, the Master of Primordial Yi is very powerful.
If the Master of Primordial Yi really becomes a puppet under the control of the Nine Major Groups in the Chaotic Origin Realm, the Chaotic Origin Realm would completely become the Chaotic Origin Realm of the Nine Major Groups, with no beings able to oppose their will.
"Doesn't the Master of Primordial Yi understand this? Would he allow such a thing to happen? And what kind of countermeasures would he have?"
Alkaid pondered continuously in his heart.
Feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of this war between two realms.
Even, after understanding this point, the key point he had just grasped was rapidly becoming clearer.
"Is this the power of Destiny?"
His mind churned with Spiritual Light: "A Chaotic Origin Realm united in spirit and solid in determination could never be defeated by the Ancient Immortal Realm, but if the Chaotic Origin Realm were divided internally, split into two, or even plunged into civil war... the strongest fortresses are always breached from within."
With this thought, Alkaid felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that the Ancient Immortal Realm, having bitterly supported the frontline war after a complete collapse for three million years and still not being annihilated, must have other contingencies in place.
These contingencies...
If successful, might actually turn the tide as the Tianming Immortal King of the Ancient Immortal Alliance had said, turning defeat into victory.
"So you're saying, I have unwittingly become the most crucial pawn in this struggle?"
After Alkaid understood these causal stakes, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It seems...
Things are getting more and more interesting.
If everything is as he guessed, it really is a perfect setup, a fascinating showdown.
And he, as the central pawn, would participate from beginning to end in the peak strategic game behind the war between these two realms.
"So, although I am a pawn, am I not the protagonist among the pawns?"
Alkaid applauded the high-ups of both the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm in his heart: "Very good, then I'll continue watching according to your wishes, to see who eventually claims the ultimate victory."
He would keep watching.
Of course, while watching, he would also seize some benefits for himself.
For example, mastering the Three Thousand Great Daos under the Gate of Destiny, thereby accelerating the evolution of his "Chaos World."
Or, gaining the Level Twenty Authority of the Master of Primordial Yi, and even the Level Twenty-One Authority structure he intends to attain.
If he could upgrade the "Master of Heavenly Dao" to Level Twenty, Level Twenty-One, the efficiency of his "Chaos World" evolution would definitely surge yet again.
From hundreds of thousands of years, to tens of thousands of years, it's not impossible.
"As a pawn, one should have the awareness of a pawn, so what I need to do next is to comply with everyone's guess, follow the guidance of the power of Destiny, and in full view of all, initiate a Great Dao Resonance with the Time Great Dao and the Great Void Path, shaking the Gate of Cause and Effect."
Alkaid had his plans.
At the same time, with a thought, the Chaos World transformed by his true body gradually began to probe the surroundings.
Once this pawn truly plays its role, the Ancient Immortal Realm will launch a full counterattack under the guidance of the Gate of Destiny, and he, too, could seize that opportunity to thoroughly master the Three Thousand Great Daos through Destiny.
Once the Three Thousand Great Daos are complete, and allowing the Heavenly Dao Master's authority level to grow to Level Twenty, his Chaos World will grow to rival the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm within a few tens of thousands of years.
No!
With his Chaos World containing the Three Thousand Great Daos and a Level Twenty Authority Heavenly Dao Master, his power...
Will be equal to the sum of the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm.
By then, unless the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Origin Realm can set aside all prejudices and join hands intimately to oppose him, they will have no chance of victory.
"Chairman Yu Xiao, what are your thoughts?"
Shen Yu Immortal King generously said: "Rest assured, I can assure you, if among all the chairmen of the Nine Major Groups, there will definitely be one who becomes a Sovereign of Level Twenty Authority, that person would surely be you."
Alkaid glanced at Shen Yu Immortal King.
In front of such world-class interests, a promise from an Immortal King is worthless.
However, he already had corresponding thoughts, and naturally, he couldn't outright reject the offer.
"Let me wait until there is indeed no progress on the side of the Reversal Immortal King, then I will give you a definite answer."
Alkaid said, pausing: "Moreover, I don't think relying on Xi Yu Group alone can withstand the hostility of Tianyuan, Shenluo, Star Sun, and Longevity."
"One Xi Yu Group is not enough, but what if it's joined by the Twilight Group? Besides, Creation Group itself has some foundations; these foundations, when utilized, are sufficient to ensure Chairman Yu Xiao smoothly comprehends the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect, and with the Great Dao Resonance, shaking the two gateways is not an issue."
Shen Yu Immortal King spoke confidently.
At last, he glanced at the Penglai Immortal Venerable next to him: "I understand Chairman Yu Xiao wants to wait and see the situation with the Reversal Immortal King, so, I will leave Penglai in Creation Group to act as a liaison between us. Once Chairman Yu Xiao has clear news, it can be communicated through Penglai; Xi Yu Group will act immediately to open the pathways to the Gate of Destiny or the Gate of Cause and Effect for you."
"Agreed."
Alkaid voiced.
Shen Yu Immortal King bowed again, gave Penglai Immortal Venerable some specific instructions through Divine Sense, then smilingly took his leave.
Alkaid had Supreme Purity Immortal replace himself to see them off.
Once the two were gone, only Alkaid and Penglai Immortal Venerable remained on Cloud View Platform.
This Immortal Venerable smiled and said: "No wonder Yu Xiao Immortal King initially disdained my invitation; having such an opportunity it's barely two thousand years since you returned to Creation Group yet you've stirred up such extraordinary turbulences causing even the Nine Major Groups to be shaken. Indeed, a true major figure, anywhere, can draw the world's attention."
"Too kind, it's just a series of fortunate coincidences."
Alkaid replied smilingly: "Your cultivation progress is also quite rapid; unexpectedly reaching Immortal Venerable already, truly astonishing."
"Actually, my achievements have somewhat benefited from your influence. While you were openly and covertly competing with the board members of Creation Group, you showed an intention to join Xi Yu Group, though it was just to force Xuan Qing and others to compromise. However, the higher-ups of Xi Yu Group felt that such camaraderies should be preserved."
Penglai Immortal Venerable smiled: "And to maintain camaraderie, the gap between both sides cannot be too large; otherwise, one wouldn't even be qualified to stand together and converse. As a result, Continuous nurturing made me prioritize the cultivation to the realm of Immortal Venerable."
"I see."
Alkaid looked at her: "So, if I really cooperate with Xi Yu Group, you will also enter this team; when the time comes, could the experience shared elevate your authority level to Eighteen?"
"It's not that easy, you are a Level Eighteen Authority Holder, and those you associate and interact with are also Level Eighteen, or even, Level Nineteen Authority Holders, so you wouldn't feel it's a big deal, but for us, any Level Eighteen Authority Holder in Chaotic Origin Realm is regarded as a High-ranking Official, and even in Ancient Immortal Realm, they are considered top-tier Immortal Venerables, even extending into the Immortal Kings' domain."
She added with some self-mockery: "Even an immortal spirit like me at Level Seventeen, without a special opportunity, diligently completing those minor tasks, accumulating points, contributions, wouldn't dream of ascending to Eighteen Level in tens of thousands or millions of years."
"So you chose to gamble in the Ancient Immortal Realm?"
Alkaid continued, pressing, "What if you fail?"
"Fail?"
Penglai Immortal Venerable shook her head: "Most of the time, I am within Xi Yu Group which is much safer than the external world."
"That's not necessarily the case, if the Chaotic Origin Realm completely fails in the Ancient Immortal Realm, all immortal spirits, including the Sovereigns, will likely be confined within the Ancient Immortal Realm, becoming nutrients for it. At that time, the Ancient Immortal Realm will become even stronger, potentially even reversing the situation and devouring the Chaotic Origin Realm in a counterattack!"
Alkaid proclaimed.
Penglai Immortal Sect looked at Alkaid somewhat in astonishment.
Is he so pessimistic about the prospects of this war?
Even though the Chaotic Origin Realm still holds an absolute advantage.
Alkaid seemed to have noticed his inappropriate expression and quickly added: "I'm just hypothesizing a possibility."
"If it's just a hypothesis..."
Penglai Immortal Venerable pondered for a moment and said: "Hmm...in life, one should pursue something, even if it involves some risk for these pursuits and ideals, but if we have no such pursuits, goals, or desires, then life is too dull."
Saying this, she looked again at Yu Xiao Immortal King: "Perhaps, an ancient and powerful being like Yu Xiao Immortal King can't understand these somewhat naive and childish thoughts of mine."
Alkaid laughed upon hearing this: "So, in your eyes, I am an antique who has lived for several million years?"
"Not at all, I didn't mean that."
Penglai Immortal Venerable waved her hands, then seemed to organize her words again: "It's just that before predecessors like Immortal Kings, we younger ones can't help but feel a bit constrained, and our words become more serious."
"Is that so? Back in Northern Sea Star, you weren't like this."
Alkaid retorted with a hint of teasing: "Back then, Penglai Dao Lord was playing with mortals, heroic and impressive, that demeanor is still vividly remembered by me even now."
Penglai Immortal Venerable was suddenly embarrassed: "At that time, I didn't know the status of Immortal King, nor the prestige that comes with it."
"So you think being one level higher as a Level Eighteen compared to you is just high-spirited? Vibrant and lively?"
"It should be considered as lofty as the skies, self-aggrandizing."

Penglai Immortal Venerable candidly said.
Alkaid laughed, seeing her expression, and did not continue further.
Different identities inevitably dictate different ways of interaction and processes.
In the end, he simply said: "In the cooperation with Xi Yu Group, you follow up in early stages, but know when to withdraw; the waters are deep here, and you might not be able to handle it."
