“Why is it impossible? Ling Tuo also said that it was an obsession!” Zhang Yuanqing was puzzled by his uncle's reaction.

Yong Yong remained silent, his expression shifting unpredictably. After a few seconds, he changed the subject forcefully, “It's always a good thing to thwart the evil faction's conspiracy! From the Fenglei Shuangshen (Wind and Thunder Twin Gods) incident to the disaster caused by the disappearance of moral values, the orthodox faction is finding it increasingly difficult to cope!”

“Last time, it took the five alliance leaders using their trump cards to deal with the Fenglei Shuangshen. This time, it was purely an accidental recovery of moral values! What about the second time? Can we land safely the third time?”

Zhang Yuanqing didn't dwell on the previous topic, his expression heavy.

“So, I need to become the Lord of the Sun as soon as possible, but the dungeons at the Ruler stage are too long. Normally, it would be a good pace for me to become a Peak Ruler within five years. Uncle, what's your plan?”

His uncle conjured another bottle of ice-cold cola from the void and tossed it to his nephew, saying, “There are ways to level up quickly. Fu Qingxuan is the best example. Before her, no Lingjing Xingzhe had ever advanced from Ruler to Demigod in just one year!”

*Chī.* Zhang Yuanqing twisted open the bottle cap. “Enter a guild dungeon?”

His uncle nodded. “Guild dungeons don't require matching time. As long as you can withstand the intensity of high-difficulty dungeons, you can advance as quickly as Fu Qingxuan!”

Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred. “Did Demon Lord also use the same method? Otherwise, how could he have advanced so quickly from the early stage of Ruler to Peak Ruler in such a short time to obtain the qualification to advance to Lord of the Sun!”

His uncle hummed in agreement, gently swirling his glass of red wine. “I invited him to the Free Federation two years ago with the intention of joining the Association of American Gods and quickly advancing through their guild dungeons. Demon Lord is indeed a rare genius. He only spent half a year advancing from level 7 Ruler to level 9 Peak!”

“With his aptitude, he could have completely replicated Fu Qingxuan's path, but he didn't have as good a fate as Fu Qingxuan. After the return of the former Marshal to the Lingjing (Spirit Realm), the Demigod authority was in the guild dungeon. Through trials, he could naturally ascend to Demigod.”

“As for the Night Watcher profession, both Taiyin (Moon) and Xingchen (Stars) have masters. Taiyin has not yet returned to its position, and the Sun dungeon has not yet been opened. He is stuck at the Peak Ruler level!”

So, Demon Lord crossed the ocean to the Free Federation to level up quickly. I thought he was here to sleep with women. That's right, he is a Seeker and cannot join official organizations, so he cannot enter the guild dungeons of official organizations. Moreover, Guǐ Yǎn Pàn (Devil's Eye Judge) is a Ruler, and the Lingneng Hui (Psychic Society) East Branch's guild dungeon cannot afford to support Demon Lord!

So, it seems that the Association of American Gods invited me to the Free Federation for the same purpose!!!

Zhang Yuanqing seemed to think of something and said, “Uncle, is that how you advanced to Demigod?”

The family disgrace was a Demigod more than twenty years ago. He was only in his thirties at the time. Theoretically, unless you are a Lingjing Xingzhe from the womb, it is difficult to become a Demigod before the age of thirty.

Yong Yong shrugged. “Perhaps. I was a member of the Association of American Gods' guild when I was young. I did use the guild dungeon to speed up my leveling, but not as perverted as Fu Qingxuan. It took me five years to go from Ruler to Demigod, while she took one year.”

Fu Qingxuan's aptitude is good, even outstanding among Demigods. The reason why she remains at the first level of Demigod is not because her aptitude limits her, but because the Five Elements authority is missing. In the past century, only one copy of the golden, wood, water, fire, and earth five major professional Demigod authorities has appeared!

Five uncles are equal to one cousin, Zhang Yuanqing knew in his heart.

The family disgrace took a sip of red wine and spoke eloquently, “I have made a clear plan for you. The Association of American Gods has been established for a century, and the low-level dungeons have long been explored. The uncompleted A-level and S-level dungeons have also been depleted thanks to the efforts of generations of members.”

“The Association of American Gods' guild dungeons are not enough to support your advancement to Peak Ruler, so you need to serve two masters. First, return to China to join Bai Hu Bingzhong (White Tiger Legion), enter White Tiger's high-difficulty dungeons, and then leave Bai Hu Bingzhong to join the Association of American Gods. This should be enough for you to advance to Peak Ruler!”

“I have already reached an agreement with the Marshal. She is willing to invest in you!”

Bai Hu Bingzhong, like the Association of American Gods, has very few uncompleted high-difficulty dungeons. Individually, neither is sufficient to support Zhang Yuanqing's advancement to Peak Ruler.

Even if those completed dungeons are cleared, the experience points gained are negligible. In his uncle's opinion, it is purely a waste of energy and time!

As long as I can advance to Peak Ruler, I will agree to serve not only two masters but even three!

Zhang Yuanqing crossed his legs, chugged down the cola, and said casually, “I understand. I will go back to China and discuss it with my cousin. What else do you have planned, Uncle?”

In front of President Jin, he still had to maintain the most basic respect. After being open and honest, he simply stopped pretending!

His uncle looked at the dark night outside the window and said in a deep voice, “After returning to China, announce your withdrawal from the Five Elements Alliance, integrate the Jīguān Jìshù Gōngsī (Mechanical Technology Company), Zhǐ Shā Gōng (Slaughter Palace), Jì Shì Shè (Aid the World Society), and Wáng Zhě Guīlái (Return of the Dead), and build your own power! In addition, you are now quite prestigious in the First District. The underground forces in New Yue County can be won over and made into cooperative forces and peripheral forces!”

“The Merchant Guild and the Association of American Gods will jointly support you. In this way, you will unite merchants, American Gods, and unify Zhǐ Shā Gōng and Jì Shì Shè below, connecting underground organizations in the First and Second Districts, becoming a truly important figure in the Lingjing world.”

Zhang Yuanqing hissed. “Wouldn't that be too conspicuous?”

He remembered what Demon Lord Zhíniàn (Obsession) had told him: don't make yourself the focus.

The family disgrace said indifferently, “Do you think that if you keep a low profile, Ling Tuo and the evil faction will ignore you? Once you advance to Peak Ruler and have the qualifications to impact the position of Lord of the Sun, then no matter how low-key you are, Ling Tuo or Tai Yi will notice you! Conversely, if you are just an ordinary Ruler, no matter how high-profile you are, Demigods will not pay special attention to you!”

“You are already a Ruler, qualified to dominate one side. There is no problem in building a power. It doesn't count as making yourself the focus!”

Zhang Yuanqing pondered and agreed with his uncle's statement. He should indeed build his own power.

In the past year, every time he encountered something, he habitually relied on Fu Qingyang's resources, intelligence assistance, and so on, all provided by the boss!

Although Fu Qingyang wouldn't mind and would continue to provide help as always, Zhang Yuanqing occasionally fantasized about becoming a big shot like Fu Qingyang, who controls power and possesses endless resources, and in turn, makes the boss rely on him!
