Chapter 198: In a chess game
Zhang Tianjiu naturally understood the deep meaning of Chu Zhongtian's eyes, but he was not a fledgling monk at all, and of course he would not tell the mystery at such a time.
No matter what kind of calculations the so-called senior master in Chu Zhongtian's mouth played, he started planning such a big game of chess thousands of years ago, but the secret of the starry sky remnant map, Zhang Tianjiu would never reveal it to anyone in the Xiuzhen world in a hot head.
And this feeling of being a chess piece makes Zhang Jiuye, who has always been self-centered, very unaccustomed.
Even if Chu Zhongtian not only left a remnant of the starry sky under the instruction of that person, but also did not hesitate to offend Yu Wenlie during the auction process just now and helped him pocket the golden armor puppet corpse, but in Zhang Tianjiu's heart, he still had a deep fear of this person.
If everything Chu Zhongtian said was true, and that mysterious predecessor was indeed able to predict what would happen thousands of years later, then there was no reason not to know about this great battle between the Xiuzhen world and the technology world.
As the so-called non-our race has a different heart, Zhang Tianjiu will not believe that there is such a cheap pick in this world.
It's just that at present, for him, that mysterious person is too far away, and even the saint is controlled by his applause, and what ability and qualification do he have to get to the bottom of it, except for being a chess piece with peace of mind, while looking for an opportunity to move at the right time, there is no other good way for the time being.
Since that person did not hesitate to span thousands of years and lay out such a far-reaching game of chess, he must have a plan. As time goes by, the day when everything comes to light, it's time to see the opportunity to act.
Retracting his thoughts, Zhang Tianjiu pretended to be dazed and shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Chu League, I didn't see that remnant for the first time until today, I, like you, don't have a clue at all, and I don't know at all, it turns out that this remnant was handed over to you thousands of years ago and kept for auction until now." ”
Chu Zhongtian's eyes did not show any disappointment, but he sighed slightly: "It seems that we are all just chess pieces in the game of the seniors, Chu Mou thought that since you did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to take this residual picture, you must know its origin." ”
Zhang Tianjiu smiled and said, "The Lord of the Chu League misunderstood, I was just curious and wanted to see the relics of the god-level monks." ”
As for whether Chu Zhongtian believed his words, it didn't matter.
Judging from the conversation between the two from meeting to now, Chu Zhongtian obviously has great respect for the mysterious senior in his mouth, although he really wants to figure out the meaning of the starry sky remnant map, he will definitely not make any excessive moves, such as using the identity of the Great Sage to extract confessions.
"Okay, now that the remnant picture has been handed over to you, Chu has also made a big wish, and then as long as I hand over the last thing to you, I will be considered a complete merit and can leave with peace of mind. ”
Zhang Tianjiu's face changed greatly: "Senior, you, are you going to sit down?"
Outside Bai Ze City, Yu Wenlie must still be waiting for him, he doesn't want to lose this big backer who fell from the sky so soon.
Chu Zhongtian glanced at Zhang Tianjiu speechlessly: "Chu just said that he wanted to leave this place, not to sit down." ”
"Oh...... That's good, that's good. ”
Zhang Tianjiu breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest, and suddenly his expression moved: "Lord Chu League, you just said that there is one more thing to give me?"
"Not bad. ”
Chu Zhongtian nodded, and his face became serious: "In order to wait for you, I have been trapped in Bai Ze City for three thousand years, and I have basically never shown up to participate in any things in the city, and they are all handled by Mo Yuan and others. ”
The sigh between the words made Zhang Tianjiu feel very empathetic.
Let a monk of the Great Sage level live in the small Bai Ze City, dealing with a group of juniors all day long, and staying for thousands of years, I feel aggrieved when I think about it.
It seems that he has wronged Yan Xinghua, he did not deliberately conceal the information about Bai Zecheng, just because this Chu Alliance Lord has been deliberately keeping a low profile, and outsiders don't know that the Tianhe Alliance Lord is actually a terrifying sage who can raze the entire city to the ground with a wave of his hand.
"From this moment on, you are the second leader of the SkyTeam. ”
Chu Zhongtian's faint words drifted into Zhang Tianjiu's ears, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shaking his whole body numb.
"I'm going to take over as the leader of the SkyTeam?"
Zhang Tianjiu's mouth was wide enough to stuff a durian, raised his hand and pointed to his nose, and looked at Chu Zhongtian dumbfounded: "Did I hear it wrong just now, or did you say it wrong?"
Chu Zhongtian smiled slightly: "That's right, it's just that this is not my own will, but the meaning of that senior, whoever takes away the remnant map will be the second leader of the Tianhe Alliance." ”
Zhang Tianjiu came to his senses, and shook his head and refused even if he didn't want to: "Then you still act according to your own wishes, I can't be the leader of this alliance." ”
What are you kidding, there are a lot of plans in the technology world that are still waiting for him to complete, how can he stay in Bai Zecheng as the leader of the Chamber of Commerce in the cultivation world.
Chu Zhongtian raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he didn't expect Zhang Tianjiu to react like this.
According to common sense, when ordinary monks encounter such a great good thing, shouldn't they all be so excited that they are incoherent and nod their heads in agreement without hesitation.
Although the Tianhe Alliance is not a top-level power in the entire cultivation realm, it is at least one of the overlords of the star field near Bai Ze City, and the alliance includes dozens of large chambers of commerce with profound backgrounds, which can compete with the Heavenly Sword General Divider, and there are people who are unwilling to sit in the position of the leader of this alliance?
Without waiting for Chu Zhongtian to speak, Zhang Tianjiu hurriedly reiterated again: "Lord of the Chu Alliance, I think you should also know that it is not a wise choice to put the Tianhe Alliance in my hands, firstly, it is difficult to convince the public, and secondly, I have never considered staying in Bai Zecheng, you better choose another reliable person." ”
Chu Zhongtian sighed: "This point, Chu Mou has not thought about it, but my cultivation is all due to the senior, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Tianhe Alliance, it was also the predecessor who helped me win the position of the leader of the alliance. ”
When Zhang Tianjiu felt a little ridiculous, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
It seems that the mysterious master behind the scenes really values himself, and he is willing to spend so much money, but I don't know what this person is trying to do, what is the benefit of raising a human from scientific and technological civilization to the position of the leader of the Tianhe Alliance?
Could it be that this person is also a member of the technological civilization?
In Zhang Tianjiu's mind, a bold idea suddenly popped up.
Whether it is the remnant of the starry sky, or a series of layouts of this person, it is obvious that he is favoring himself, and it seems that only in this way can it be explained.
But thousands of years ago, when scientific and technological civilization was still in an extremely backward period, there was no such concept as genetic modification, so how could it be possible to cultivate such a powerful and terrifying human being?
You must know that your own ability is also the result of going through several leaps and turns of genetic modification more than three hundred years later, and it is far from reaching the terrifying level of the mysterious predecessor that Chu Zhongtian said.
Strategizing for thousands of years, putting the saints at the mercy of applause, this kind of means is simply unimaginable.
Zhang Tianjiu vaguely felt that the white-clothed monk that Yan Xinghua was talking about should be the same person as the mysterious predecessor in Chu Zhongtian's mouth.
This person first used Yan Xinghua to send himself into the underground palace of the ancestor of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and got a great opportunity for no reason, not only transforming a body of the Five Elements Spirit Vein suitable for cultivation, but also subduing a middle-level saint like Wei Wuya as a junior brother.
Now he has laid out the remnants of the starry sky to fall into his hands, and he also buys one and gets one free for the entire Tianhe Chamber of Commerce, and it can be said that most monks will rarely encounter it once in their lives.
The more Zhang Tianjiu thought about it, the more he felt that his head was big, and he almost didn't break the skin of that big bald head.
Chu Zhongtian said slowly: "Your origin, I can't ask about it, but being able to be so valued by that senior, there must be something special, this small Bai Ze City will definitely not be able to trap you, as long as you agree to take over the position of alliance leader, you can appoint another trustworthy spokesperson, and leave all specific things to him to deal with, and you can also rest assured that you can be a hands-off shopkeeper." ”
Zhang Tianjiu was slightly stunned: "Can it still be like this?"
Isn't this equivalent to picking up a chamber of commerce alliance for nothing, and you don't have to bear any responsibility, there is such a cheap good thing in the world.
Chu Zhongtian said with a smile: "That senior just said that he wanted you to take over the position of my alliance leader, and he didn't ask you to stay in Bai Ze City, so naturally you can." ”
Zhang Tianjiu stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and was silent for a long time before finally raising his head: "Since this is the case, I will be the leader of this alliance." ”
The more he thinks about it now, the more he feels that this mysterious master who controls everything behind the scenes is very likely to be a force on the side of scientific and technological civilization, could it be that this person is also a traverser himself, the only difference is the difference between three hundred years and three thousand years later?
According to common sense, if the scientific and technological civilization is not destroyed in this war, and it develops for thousands of years, it is indeed fully capable of creating a terrifying powerhouse that can crush the cultivation realm.
Of course, the premise of all this is that scientific and technological civilization must achieve the final victory in the current battle for survival, otherwise there will be no future at all.
This is also one of the important reasons why Zhang Tianjiu changed his mind and agreed to Chu Zhongtian's request.
Taking over TRW is equivalent to controlling the powerful resources of more than a dozen large chambers of commerce, which is beneficial and harmless to improve the development speed of the scientific and technological world, so why not do it yourself.
Even if it is a chess piece, it will be reaped first after the benefits of being sent to the door in front of you.
Zhang Tianjiu always believed that in the face of absolute strength, any clever strategy would eventually be crushed.
