Chapter 2323: Ploy

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Tang Shaoyang spent the next two months on a mission and cultivating. That was his preparation for the God Realm Champion. He cleared four more abandoned worlds in those two months, managed to fill four storages, and used them for the Spirit Advancement.

Those four storages’ worth of sacrifice, and also the leftover from the previous advancement, were enough to advance seven spirits. Those seven spirits were: [Afi the Primordial Urosa], [Galeon the Archdemon], [Yowe the Spear Saint], [Jet the Sky of Abyss], [Rokian the Shadow of Abyss], [Baccara the Black Phoenix & Ruler of Sky], and [Arkanos the Blade Emperor].

Those seven spirits were picked by Tang Shaoyang himself, as Avyn, Zara, and Vandir didn’t want to do anything with it anymore. Those were the seven spirits that advanced to the Pinnacle Rank.

Afi the Primordial Urosa kept his title, but of course, he became the fourth spirit to awaken the Magma Elemental Power. Her bright red fur turned into magma as he grew to twenty meters tall. The remaining six spirits received a new title.

[Galeon the Primal Demon]

[Yowe the Spear God]

[Jet the Descendant of Abyss]

[Rokian the Shadow Tyrant]

[Baccara the Dark Empress]

[Arkanos the Blade God]

Galeon initially had a different title than Orlean, even though both were Demon Spirits. It was not a surprise to have a different title in the Pinnacle Rank. But it was different for Artras, and Rokian had the same title, The Shadow of Abyss.

The former’s new title was the Shadow Lord, and Rokian’s new title was the Shadow Tyrant. It seemed their new titles were influenced by their character.

Those were the seven spirits that got to the Pinnacle Rank in the second batch of Spirit Advancement. They would play a crucial part in his success as the God Realm Champion.

He wanted his Bloodline Upgrade as well as his Talent Upgrade. His first talent, the Divine Body, was no longer a talent as it defined his race now, Tangu. He had two talents as of now: Wrath and One-Man-Army. Both talents increased his attributes.

Those two talents actually helped him fight the ancient monsters from the God Realm who started far ahead of him. He matched their attributes with his talents, and that was the reason why he wanted a class that could improve his attributes dramatically: The Shepherd of Beast Spirit.

Azhug added ten high-ranking combat-type Beast Spirits. Despite Azhug’s request not to use the Beast Spirit in a war, the Druid Ogre had been preparing the strong Beast Spirit for Beast Spirit Fusion.

Beast Spirit Fusion was a skill that allowed the user to fuse into the class holder. Doing a fusion with Beast Spirits would give him a substantial boost of attributes, even for Tang Shaoyang, who was at Level 60731. He could fuse up to five Beast Spirits.

Of course, it was not just about attributes, but also skills. He could use the Beast Spirit’s skill that fused into his body, including their Elemental Power. Azhug had prepared those ten combat-type Beast Spirits for a long time after finding out his Boss’s predicament. The Ogre didn’t want to lose his new boss, after all.

That was the eight months of preparation for the God Realm Champion, and it was also his preparation for his inevitable war against the Nirvana Alliance and the God Order.

Tang Shaoyang was relaxed, enjoying the night’s tranquility on the rooftop of his Smart Base. He reclined on his sunlounger chair.

"It’s tomorrow, huh? Aren’t you a little bit nervous?" Zhang Mengyao asked.

It was the last night with his wives before the God Realm Champion, and they decided not to spend the night in bed. The reason was simple: his wives wanted him to be in his prime for tomorrow. That was why they were holding back. Instead they were hanging out on the rooftop while having a barbecue and hotpot.

Even though they might not meet their husband for a month, and possibly a few months. They decided to hold back.

Tang Shaoyang smiled when he heard his Supreme Commander’s question, "Nervous? No. I am excited for tomorrow. Are you nervous?"

He was telling the truth about being excited. He would meet a lot of strong people who would give him a good fight, and those people would become his materials.

"It would be a lie if I said I am not nervous..." Zhang Mengyao muttered.

That was right, Zhang Mengyao was one of the fifty participants from the Tang Empire. Tang Shaoyang agreed to allow fifty God Ranks of his people to join the God Realm Champion with him.

He thought of bringing a hundred of them, but he remembered his conflict with the Dragon Realm as well. Not the entire Dragon Realm, but just a few Dragon Guardians. He was worried that he might not be able to keep watch on a hundred people in the battle between the God Ranks. That was why he only agreed to bring fifty God Ranks with him.

Among those fifty people, six of them were his wives. Zhang Mengyao without a doubt wanted to join, and the remaining five were Kang Xue, Liang Suyin, Ashley, Rosalie, and Lunea. His former spirits, Zaneos the Demon Swordsmaster and Zowen the Lightning Magus, were also on the list. Lu An was without a doubt on the list, along with hand-picked God Ranks by Tang Shaoyang himself.

"You don’t need to be nervous. You guys should be fine as long as you have me with you. I guess Zara and Avyn will stick to you guys as well. As long as you play it safe as we discussed, everything should be fine."

Kang Xue let out a sigh. "It’s easy for you to say that, but it’s totally different for us... No, let’s not talk about this anymore. This just gets me even more nervous."

Rosalie chuckled; the former Empress was the only one at ease. "Being nervous is good, better than being reckless."

Tang Shaoyang was about to say something until he received a message. He frowned when he saw the sender. It was not from his Administrator Team members, and all his wives were with him here. The message was sent by Clementine.

He could see that something annoying might happen when Clementine was involved. There was a chance that Arion and Clementine would give him a secret task that he must do during the God Realm Champion.

[It’s important! Come meet me and Arion in Administrator Space! It’s regarding the God Realm Champion!]

Tang Shaoyang frowned, not liking what he read. He got up from the chair. "There’s an issue with the Administrator. I will be back as soon as possible. If I don’t return by the time we must depart for the God Realm Champion, that means our participation in the God Realm Champion will be canceled."

He didn’t wait for his wife to speak as he disappeared. He left so quickly because he wanted to deal with the issue with the Administrator as quickly as possible.

The moment he arrived in the Administrator Space, he was teleported immediately to another room. It was a small room with a round table with six seats.

Arion and Clementine were here, to be expected, as she mentioned Arion would be here. He was surprised to see Andre and Valeria as well. Those two were not mentioned in the message.

"Is there really something that you need my help with? The God Realm’s factions and people consider you guys "Primal Monsters". Can you guys resolve the problem without my help? This is a crucial time for me!"

Tang Shaoyang grumbled as he took a seat next to Arion. There were two available seats left. One was next to Valeria, and one was next to Arion.

"What is it?"

Clementine shook her head, chuckled, "Don’t worry about it. This has nothing to do with the task or mission as an Administrator. There’s an alteration... No, to be more exact, some figures are altering the God Realm Champion. It’s a part of a ploy against you. That’s what I want to tell you about."

Tang Shaoyang frowned, not surprised that he was being targeted again. But there was an important keyword in this conversation: altering the God Realm Champion. It was an event directly under the System.

The Administrator didn’t have full authority to intervene in the event directly, but they could right the wrong. If someone was altering the event, they could still do something about it.

"I am thinking of ruining their plan, reverting the event back to the original event, but their ploy might backfire, so I want you to decide it yourself."

Clementine started telling him what happened in the back, the ploy she talked about. A big faction and important figures were altering the event so they could put him alone in the first phase of the event, by himself against the group they had prepared. There was involvement from the Dragon Realm as well as the Nirvana Alliance and the God Order.
