Chapter 672: Chapter 372: Background of the Third Faction (Part 2)

If further investment is increased, it could be even faster.

However, this time is actually already sufficient.

"The opponent also seems to have suffered a minor loss and should be more cautious." Shen Yu made a decision, and the other Shen Yus had little objection.

Next are some other equally important pieces of intelligence, just not categorized in the primary sequence.

They also provided everyone with a more comprehensive understanding of the Third Power.

Firstly, this power describes itself as the "Great Wind Empire."

That’s right, this is actually an empire with a feudal system.

Shen Yu is unsure if this system is common among the All Heavens Forces, but it is clear that an empire reaching this level is very well-rounded in all aspects.

The core of this system rests on the "Emperor."

This person is also the key to driving the civilization beyond the barriers of the world, taking this step forward.

At the time of his appearance, it was when the entire Great Wind Empire faced a fatal crisis and was almost destroyed, but relying on this remaining royal bloodline, he created a legend and led the empire to rise again.

Perhaps this is merely propaganda.

However, making such a powerful individual at a Twelfth Realm Middle Stage level, capable of dominating countless All Heavens Worlds, genuinely loyal from the heart, such an Emperor would never seem exaggerated, no matter how much is advertised.

Indeed, for the civilization to reach the current stage, this Emperor can definitely be called the greatest contributor.

And this is also the characteristic of an empire with a feudal system.

To continually advance along a path of increasing strength, a fully capable Emperor is both a necessity and an inevitable solution.

"This is indeed somewhat tricky." Shen Yu already realized that this system, this Emperor, doesn’t bode well for the Association at this moment.

Because it means the opponent’s decisions will be heavily influenced by the Emperor’s personality.

It even means some of the seemingly secure decisions made previously by the Association actually carry considerable risk.

After all, the decisions and potential reactions of a power can be predicted to a large extent.

Everything revolves around interests, trying to minimize risks, and so on.

However, an individual like an Emperor, wielding absolute power, is entirely different.

He might make decisions that defy normal patterns due to personal character, preferences, or even intuition, and such decisions can mobilize enormous forces.

"These sixteen hundred years might not pass peacefully after all." Shen Yu sighed internally and then spoke to the others, "We should heighten our vigilance. I propose shortening the interval for using Gray Mist as a warning."

"Seconded."

"Agreed."

"There’s no other choice."

"Do we have a way to investigate the other side in return?"

The last Wizard Shen Yu suddenly asked this question.

This indeed made the others think.

Indeed, although using Gray Mist can easily yield absolutely correct answers, the consumption of Gray Mist is the largest cost.

Converting this cost into other domains, it is considered an expensive price.

After all, each use is essentially a comprehensive survey of such a mighty All Heavens Force.

And if not using Gray Mist, but trying to investigate or using both alternately, would it be better?

"Not easy." Intersellar world Shen Yu thought for a moment before speaking, "Investigating this domain is actually the opponent’s forte. After all, it requires secrecy, and the opponent’s application of Laws is incredibly strong, not something that can be easily surpassed."

"Then why not consult the omnipotent Gray Mist?" Wizard Shen Yu further explained his thoughts, "After all, the core of investigation work isn’t to fully surpass the opponent technologically, but to find the opponent’s vulnerabilities. How can we know, whether there exists a vulnerability that allows easy infiltration once discovered? I believe the probability of such a vulnerability being present isn’t low, even we can’t guarantee there aren’t such risks in ourselves."

Now everyone understood what Wizard Shen Yu meant.

It was indeed a promising approach.

However, whether to adopt it or not depends on the consumption of Gray Mist.

And what’s exciting is that the consumption of Gray Mist isn’t much.

This means there indeed is a relatively easy way to infiltrate the other side!

"Since there is indeed a solution, let’s proceed with this plan." Shen Yu looked at the other Shen Yus and quickly made a decision.

Primarily because this consumption is genuinely not much.

And the final solution turned out to be somewhat unexpected.

Not because it’s difficult, but quite the opposite, it was exceptionally simple.

As a heavenly power with an imperial feudal system, the Great Wind Empire certainly has a core force, which is the National Dynasty’s fortune.

After all, the fortune of the National Dynasty is too crucial for the development of such a system’s civilization.

Its actual function is secondary.

The key lies in the superiority of this force in management.

The Law’s essence of the National Dynasty’s fortune is actually the recycling and reuse of resources.

Gathering all idle, scattered, or unused, unattainable forces within the entire power and civilization, and then reallocating them to the civilization’s managers.

On one hand, it can increase the efficiency of managing the entire civilization, reducing management difficulty; on the other hand, it can enhance the strength of the country’s high ranks.

It can be said to be all benefits, almost no disadvantages.

Especially in this civilization with only a single supreme ruler, the benefits are even more.

However, the opponent’s fatal vulnerability lies precisely within this National Dynasty’s fortune.

"The recycling process of the National Dynasty’s fortune hides such a massive risk." Cultivator Shen Yu felt a chilling sensation.

Currently, in all Association Worlds, the one who attaches the most importance to the National Dynasty’s fortune, using it most frequently, has to be Cultivator Shen Yu.

After all, Cultivator Shen Yu is crowned with the name "Immortal Emperor" in his world.

National Dynasty’s fortune is just suitable for him to manage his entire world.

However, the facts are already laid out.

Even a mighty All Heavens Force like the Great Wind Empire, still hasn’t realized the "recycling" process of the National Dynasty’s fortune itself is an extremely dangerous process.

After all, it doesn’t require anyone else to devise ways to infiltrate, but it’s actively absorbed.

"Although it seems simple, there are still some hurdles." Intersellar world Shen Yu suddenly spoke, "Compared to us, they are absolute experts in the detailed application of Laws. This is the best way to use this loophole, but the opponent might probably have precautions in place. Therefore, my suggestion is to select one of our powerful members for simulated infiltration, supplemented by wrapping and concealing with Gray Mist, then infiltrate following the loophole to reduce Gray Mist consumption, this way can ensure success."

Indeed, while utilizing the loophole, also employ Gray Mist for back-up.

This is indeed a foolproof method.

And also, the expenditure isn’t high.

But who should go over?

"I’ll go." Cultivator Shen Yu volunteered, "I am most familiar with the National Dynasty’s fortune, and besides, I am quite familiar with such high-level imperial systems, not many of you focus on this system."

That is the truth.

Although all Shen Yus have extremely high positions within their civilization.

Among them are those with the title of Emperor.

For example, Wizard Shen Yu is also an Emperor within his civilization.

However, regarding the developmental direction pursued by Wizard Shen Yu’s civilization, such a system isn’t important.

Because the magic and Extraordinary Domain requires research, questioning, and exploration.

Thus, Wizard Shen Yu wouldn’t engage in autocracy or absolute loyalty within his civilization.
