Hidden Corners

‘If this continues, it will be too slow. The sublimation of will requires a catalyst and a suitable stage.’

Li Chengyi was lying on the wicker chair with a look of thought in his eyes.

‘The test is necessary and cannot be too sudden. It requires a step-by-step approach. Perhaps, you can try that girl every day and let her encounter danger once a day, right near the dwarf...'

He thought in his mind and glanced at Keya who was studying seriously in the distance.

The person responsible for teaching her is Buduna who has been by her side all the time. Now this useless gem dragon can only teach the children to him.

‘Buduna. ’ Li Chengyi thought for a moment and said, ‘Let the people from Feire City handle the matter. ’

'You say. ’ Buduna responded respectfully in her mind.

The two of them were communicating consciously.

This is a special trick that Li Chengyi developed on his own during this period.

As long as the distance is within one thousand meters, thoughts can be communicated anytime and anywhere.

Of course, the premise is that the consciousness of both parties must be strong enough.

After making some minor arrangements, Li Chengyi withdrew his thoughts and watched Buduna get up, explain the matter to Keya and leave.

His eyes fell on the other people in the firm. The firm did not accept many external jobs, mainly due to Dunis himself and more than ten new recruits, and the income was pretty good.

Just relying on the relationship with the city government, the business has changed from the previous detective investigation to helping people apply for certificates and run business procedures.

This was Dunis's decision after discovering that both the police department and the municipal department were giving him face.

Nilan, who was in charge of hygiene, was still cleaning and mopping the floor honestly.

The pretty girl wears a maid outfit every day, running around mopping the floor in the small building, which is really pleasing to the eye.

The eldest daughter, Nia, was also there at this time, taking care of the garden with a water bottle and nutrient solution.

The rest of the staff were lazily playing cards, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Not long after, Nia came up with an empty water bottle and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She seemed a little tired.

"Mr. Cheng Yi, my friend's botanical garden recently got a new batch of leafy wisteria. Do you want it?" Nia looked at Li Chengyi.

"I want it. What's the price?" Li Chengyi suddenly became happy and straightened up.

With the bag of evil thoughts at his side, what he lacks now is flower energy. His plan is to evolve all the wisteria flowers to their ultimate form first. Come one by one.

Of course, if he encounters other flower variants on the way, he won't be polite.

Just focus on wisteria first. This ability to control flower language has given him countless help along the way. In fact, he also got two varieties of wisteria, but he didn't expect another surprise here.

"It's just a little money. I live here permanently, so just think of it as a gift to the office." Nia said with a smile.

She also takes note of the firm's income. Although it is not bad, necessary management is necessary when dealing with government departments.

So the overhead is definitely higher than before. Mr. Li Chengyi's life is probably not very good, so he is so stingy.

After being together for so long, we are considered friends, and she is too lazy to accept this little money.

"Is that so? Thank you very much! I'm going to trouble you again this time, Nia." Li Chengyi smiled.

His expression was natural, and he had no consciousness of taking advantage of others.

At his level, if his skin is still so thin, it will be too easy for others to predict him.

A person's skin has to be thick and thin at times, and unpredictable, so that people can't predict it and prevent the details of their personality and behavior from being found out.

"Shameless." Nilan, who was cleaning nearby, couldn't help but mutter again.

Li Chengyi glanced at her provocatively, and was so angry that the mop rod in this guy's hand suddenly made a clicking sound.

"You're welcome." Nia couldn't help but smile. "By the way, in two days, I may go to Xuebei City to attend a friend's birthday party, so I won't come over. The wisteria, roses, and water letters in the garden, Mr. Cheng Yi, remember to replenish nutrient solution. The nutrient solution I bought this time must be taken every day, and there are still only five days left before a course of treatment can be completed.”

She warned carefully.

She has taken care of the many flowers in the garden now. At this time, he was giving instructions to Li Chengyi like a half-master.

"Go to another city, Xue Bei." Information about Xue Bei flashed through Li Chengyi's mind.

On the surface, it's as stable as Ludian, but secretly, it's a little dangerous.

A group of robbers who appeared recently are very capable and have committed several murders there, but they have not been caught yet.

"It seems that there is not much peace there recently. This is the peace charm I asked for too much before. I will give you one." Li Chengyi smiled and took out a translucent walnut-sized bead from his trouser pocket and threw it away.

"Remember to take it with you. It's very effective." He warned.

Nia caught the bead and looked at it carefully. The translucent bead looked like it was made of colorless crystal, with the word "安" wrapped inside it, which was very delicate.

"Well, I will take care of it, thank you Mr. Cheng Yi." Nia thanked him sweetly.

Li Chengyi waved his hands, yawned, stood up and walked towards the office.

"No, I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a nap first."

"Damn pig, just sleep and sleep!" Nilan couldn't help but started to curse in a low voice again.

"Go and clean the basement three more times." Li Chengyi suddenly smiled and looked up at her.

"I just cleaned it up!" Nilan argued with a blushing face.

"No, you're not clean."

Li Chengyi's thoughts moved, and suddenly the basement was empty. The sword of wisdom flashed past, scraping off some white ash on the wall and falling to the ground.

"Do you dare to bet!?" Nilan said angrily.

"Okay. If you lose, clean the office ten times every day." Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"If I win, give me double my salary!!"

"Okay." Old Li Chengyi nodded thoughtfully.

A few minutes later.

Nilan's desperate screams came from the basement.

Li Chengyi smiled, walked into the office with his hands behind his back, and locked the door behind his back.

"Don't forget to remind Nilan to clean it ten times, Keya."

"Okay" Keya looked at Nilan who was blushing speechlessly, and she didn't know what to say.

Dunis hesitated to speak, but did not speak.

His daughter's character requires someone to take care of her, and he actually knew it in his heart. Although he asked Nilan to clean the office five times, in fact, many times, Li Chengyi didn't care even if the cleaning was perfunctory.

The two of them were simply playing a wordless slapstick game.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and turned to take a nap.

"Come on! Nilan. Dad will be your strong moral support." He gestured to his daughter with his fist and ran quickly.

Nilan became even more angry.

Inside the office.

Li Chengyi was lying on the sofa, playing with a thick black shadow with one hand.

The Shadow Dragon King's shadow affinity talent has been developed in various new ways by his powerful understanding.

Shadow jumping long distance is one, and now, mastering the power of shadow and condensing the magic ball is the second new use.

Using shadow affinity, Li Chengyi has initially cracked some of the entrance mechanisms to the Shadow Dragon Prison.

‘Not even close.’ Li Chengyi kept adjusting the shadow ball in his hand, letting the black threads inside it continue to rotate.

The opening of the Shadow Dragon Prison, under his keen observation, found that it was mainly due to the changes and fine-tuning of the shadows, which caused signs of cracking and enlargement of a dead-end crack hidden in the air.

The reason for the amplification lies in the support of the shadow power.

Li Chengyi was concentrating on changing the shadow sphere at this time, capturing the subtle coordinates of the shadow dragon prison hidden in it.

Space has countless tiny particles, and so does the power of shadow. The location of the Shadow Dragon Prison seems to be hidden in the power of shadow, between certain shadow particles.

At this moment, a clear thought came into his mind from outside the office.

‘Master, there is a new situation here, and I need to ask for your instructions. ’ The speaker was the demigod mountain giant, Mero Green Sea.

This guy is very powerful. The most important thing is that he understands the world and knows how to manage. After all, he used to be the archbishop of the Druid Order, and was appointed by Li Chengyi as the first seat in the garden besides him.

'what's the situation? ’ Li Chengyi said.

‘His Royal Highness wants to seek our help. His divine fire is now crumbling, and the sect he belongs to is being secretly reduced by hostile forces and cannot be reversed. So after learning about our power, we wanted to seek cooperation with us. ’ Merlo said in a deep voice.

Li Chengyi suddenly became interested.

This is the first god to take the initiative to surrender to him.

‘Ask him to wait at the stronghold, I will come right away. ’ Thinking of this, he put away the shadow ball and stood up. Black light covered his whole body and suddenly disappeared from the place.

When he reappeared, he was already in an abandoned wild temple outside Ludian City.

Inside the overgrown temple, there are collapsed stone pillars, abandoned altars, and collapsed ceilings. None of them show that this place has not been repaired for many years.

Li Chengyi waited quietly. He was very curious about the gods because he wanted to determine whether the gods were powerful beings that ignited real fire.

Not long after.

A breeze blew into the abandoned temple. The green wind condensed and slowed down, and a handsome man wearing a dark green brocade robe and a green grass crown walked out.

As soon as the man appeared, his eyes fell on Li Chengyi.

The two people's eyes met instantly, and Li Chengyi saw through each other's situation in an instant.

‘It’s not the real fire behind the ring. It’s another, completely different flame. ’

Li Chengyi's eyes flashed with fire.

The illusory fire of the sword furnace has not yet solidified, but he can already tell whether the divine fire in the body of the god opposite is the real fire he understands.

the answer is:

no.

'The divine fire is too weak and what burns is the consciousness of countless other people. Only the power of faith can burn those consciousnesses, and only after burning can they provide power to God.'

In just a moment, Li Chengyi understood the nature of the gods.

If we say that gods are a kind of conscious life produced by the natural development of the biological chain to its extreme.

Then the Yin canon technique he practiced was the path of plundering the creation of the world and all things and condensing it into his own body.

The former is still bound by the world. Once they lose their faith, they will lose 99% of their power.

And he, without this world, can completely change the world and continue to plunder.

After confirming that this divine fire was not the divine fire mentioned in the Thousand Faced Sword Code, Li Chengyi's heart dropped heavily.

"Your Highness Randy?" he asked in a low voice.

"It's me, and you are the leader of the garden? Your Highness White Deer?" God Randy asked solemnly.

"It's me." Li Chengyi nodded slightly. "This is our first meeting. I would like to ask you a question. Which of the current gods is easier to conquer?"

".You have great ambitions." Randy replied after being silent for a moment. "There are now five major divine systems. The first and strongest one is the Pure White God System led by White Praise. Then there is the Elf God System, followed by the Elemental God System, then the God of War God System, and the last and weakest one is the one behind the Sunlight Council. Alliance of Gods.”

"So, if I want to conquer them, I can directly attack the Alliance of Gods?" Li Chengyi asked.

"It is extremely difficult to conquer gods. You must have the ability to defeat the opponent's kingdom with a single target. Even if the god's kingdom has weak divine power, it can exert the power of medium divine power when it resists with all its strength. Moreover, every time A kingdom of God is the blind spot of one Highness. Every Highness is the original body of their Kingdom of God. I don’t know how sure you are," Randy said lightly.

Li Chengyi fell into silence.

"In addition, the best thing to conquer is actually not the Sunlight Council, but the Elf God System and the Element God System. These two major God systems have been hidden from the world for a long time and have disappeared. Even if there is any problem, it will not attract anyone's attention." Randy explained .

"It makes sense. So, can you lead the way and try to find a suitable target first?" Li Chengyi looked at the other party.

"As you wish." Randy's heart trembled, but he didn't expect the other party to act so decisively.

He opened his mouth to attack the divine system. Is the leader of the garden in front of him really so powerful?
