Chapter 652: Chapter 362: The Arrangement of Big Shots (2)

Because they all possess beings that surpass Ancestor Hongjun!

Yes, it was something that had never been encountered before, possibly transcending the Realm of the Primordial Infinite Daluo Golden Immortal, and in this world, it is a definite reality, and more than one exists!

This means that even if the entire Association were to be mobilized, it might not be able to defeat one of these forces.

"This world is a bit overpowered," Martial Artist Shen Yu couldn’t help but mutter.

"We actually have our advantages too." Shen Yu wasn’t so pessimistic; he looked at the other Shen Yu and revealed an important piece of intelligence, "First of all, these High Tower adventurers, despite being powerful, have always been under the control of the High Tower. Even when they reach stronger levels, they only possess power granted by the High Tower, not truly attain it; otherwise, such a level of life would be enough to break the world barrier and even influence or control the already flawed High Tower."

Yes, this was all thanks to this avatar of High Tower Shen Yu.

Originally, Shen Yu wanted to research why the High Tower’s laws could so rapidly create a powerful strongman.

Later, he discovered that the High Tower was using a clever method.

It implanted some powerful laws directly into the adventurer’s body and soul while using a High Tower mark implanted in the adventurer to conduct auxiliary control.

In other words, adventurers were merely users of these powerful means, not owners.

Even if adventurers already possessed a powerful level of life, the same applied.

Moreover, this level of life was merely based on the implanted "position."

Perhaps it merged with the soul but not with consciousness.

This is a completely different concept.

It’s like the so-called Divine Format in the Elemental World.

Once refined, you can control it, which makes you a Divine Spirit, but as soon as consciousness disappears, the Divine Format won’t vanish with it; instead, it continues to appear in the semblance of a Divine Format. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Thus, in such a scenario, the true enemy they needed to face was a single one—the High Tower.

"I have a few backup plans here." After explaining some of the relevant rules of the High Tower World, Shen Yu addressed everyone else, "First, for the first plan, we might abandon High Tower Shen Yu’s avatar and directly infiltrate a strong adventurer in this world to continue our infiltration plan, deepening our control and infiltration of this world. The second plan is to act immediately, not worrying about anything else, consuming large amounts of Gray Mist in the shortest time to gain control over the High Tower. If we do that, we can completely elevate our power top-tier levels without worrying about those forces."

Clearly, one plan is cautious, while the other is extremely aggressive.

The final decision was left to High Tower Shen Yu.

After all, High Tower Shen Yu is the true owner of this world.

And High Tower Shen Yu didn’t hesitate for long, choosing the first plan directly.

"The current intelligence information is still too little, so it’s better to be cautious," High Tower Shen Yu said to Shen Yu, "I think the first plan can be further refined. We might not need to abandon my avatar entirely. I can choose to join a powerful force while you find a way to replace some of the strong within that force, giving me some reasonable protection. Let’s silently control a force first."

Clearly, in High Tower Shen Yu’s view, since they were going to be lurking, they might as well lurk deeply.

If they couldn’t break in from outside, they would control from within.

If it truly couldn’t be hidden, then the second option would be the only choice.

High Tower Shen Yu’s decision ultimately received unanimous agreement from the other Shen Yu.

Thus, this matter was settled.

High Tower Shen Yu’s consciousness continued to sink into his avatar.

"Next up is choosing which force," High Tower Shen Yu already had a target in mind.

It is a force named the "Celestial Court."

A force with a style somewhat similar to the Heavenly Court in Eastern mythology.

Though the entire force is domineering and even dark, on the surface, it still adheres to some principles.

They would establish clear rules, even if some were clearly for plundering purposes, and then do everything to maintain those rules.

The reason for choosing this force is naturally in preparation for the Gray Mist.

High Tower Shen Yu, despite only having joined the Association for a short time, was well aware that the Association’s greatest strength is the Gray Mist Space, the Gray Mist.

However, in these three years, he had hardly obtained much Gray Mist.

Because he had merely saved some people in his world, the amount of Gray Mist he obtained was insignificant compared to the war realm of this world.

Therefore, obtaining the Gray Mist became his core goal for the next phase.

And the Celestial Court fits this condition.

Having made up his mind, High Tower Shen Yu directly engaged with a department directly under the Celestial Court.

They had already sent an invitation long ago.

However, what High Tower Shen Yu did not expect was that on the first day of meeting his direct superior, he saw a Golden Immortal!

Yes, a Golden Immortal.

Note that High Tower Shen Yu’s realm at this moment was equivalent only to that of a True Master.

He had just reached a realm capable of eternal life.

Above him were Earth Immortal, True Immortal, Taiyi True Immortal, and then Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the first words from this person caught High Tower Shen Yu off guard.

"Tell me, which rule loophole of the High Tower have you mastered?"

This statement immediately indicated a certain fact.

These powerful forces within the High Tower world indeed knew of the rule loopholes in the High Tower world and were indeed continuously looking for ways to control them.

High Tower Shen Yu only contemplated briefly before making a decision.

He decided to play along.

"Reporting to you, my lord, I only mastered some ways to obtain information," High Tower Shen Yu said, slightly bowing his head.

"Heh." The other party chuckled, their tone dripping with undisguised sarcasm, "Ways to obtain information? Not only that. You can even freely choose content for your missions, even specify your tasks to a certain extent, and even make sure that your tasks yield greater rewards. Moreover, if I am not mistaken, you also influence your own loot box probabilities—tsk, so many bugs, all just for you. Even we, as core members, aren’t granted such extravagance."

High Tower Shen Yu remained silent.

As expected, his previous actions were likely already thoroughly investigated.

The people in this world, even if they have been always under the control of the High Tower, having mastered such power and reached such levels, would naturally not stay fully constrained, striving to escape High Tower’s control.

Or even aim to control the High Tower instead.

However, under these circumstances...

High Tower Shen Yu continued to maintain composure, with no shift in expression due to the exposure of his greatest secret.

He only said, "It seems that you already understood, my lord."

"Indeed." This reaction, however, relaxed the highly powerful High Tower adventurer in front of him, making them appear without any authoritative aura. Looking at High Tower Shen Yu, the person sighed twice, "Some of the big shots up there do things more and more carelessly, leaving no room for camouflage. While I don’t know whose strategy you bear, this is just too exaggerated."

Yes, the other party directly regarded High Tower Shen Yu as a setup by some big player.
