As early as when the minions of the predecessor of the "Dream Lord", the "Alien God", first appeared in the Western Continent, various countries had the idea of probing his details, but unfortunately no one succeeded. Then, because of the miraculous contract and the means of granting gifts, the nations coveted his power even more.

It's a pity that the other party is so well hidden, and outsiders can't grasp his true body at all, which makes the countries choose the method of temporary surveillance and peaceful recruitment, and draw the beneficiaries of his power under their command to strengthen their own strength.

But in this way, where is the benefit greater than directly annexing the mastermind itself, or directly cooperating with the mastermind behind the scenes?

And now, looking at Angus and the others in front of him, the emperor saw in them an opportunity for his side to further cooperate with the mysterious 'Dream Lord' and seek greater benefits for his country.

As a typical heroic figure, the emperor undoubtedly prefers to maximize the benefits of swallowing the power of the "Dream Lord" for himself rather than win-win cooperation. But unfortunately, now he doesn't have that certainty to annex the other party.

The Emperor naturally knew about the aura visions that frequently occurred in various parts of the Western Continent during the day, and according to some clues, it was very likely that they were the visions produced when some powerhouses of the Legendary Realm were born! Originally, the high-level leaders of the Western Continent, including the Emperor, were still very curious about which side of the new legends came from, but now, they ......

The emperor looked at Angus and Eric, who already had Legendary Realm cultivation in front of him, and judging by his breath, these two people had obviously just been promoted recently.

Even the remaining four counts behind them, although their cultivation has been promoted to the legendary realm, compared to the emperor's impression of them in the past, the strength of these four people has also improved a lot, and they are already standing in a position that is only one foot away from the legendary realm!

Looking at these people, where did the emperor still not understand, where did those new legends in the daytime come from?

There are so many known legendary realm combat powers under the command of the 'Dream Lord', who knows how much is still hidden in the secret?

And what level of strength will the 'Dream Lord' itself, which has so many legendary powerhouses be loyal to?

Although the Emperor is very confident in his empire and the backers behind him, he does not want to rashly push the power of the 'Dream Lord' to the opponent of the empire without being sure enough of victory.

After all, if the empire loses too much, the cult nation that is eyeing it will definitely not mind taking advantage of the fire!

Therefore, the emperor's heart is still more inclined to adopt an attitude of co-opting and cooperating with the forces of the 'Lord of Dreams'.

With this idea, the emperor did not embarrass Angus and others too much.

"Silint Qing, since Qing just said that Qing and others 'took risks' and made a contract with the 'Lord of Dreams' for the sake of the empire, then ......" The emperor looked at Angus coldly: "Qing and others have been busy for so long, and now it is time to give Yu a satisfactory answer, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Angus's face was grim, he knew that from now on, it was the real subject of the Emperor's summoning of them this time.

"First of all, allow me to show me what I've been discovering over the past few days. With that, Angus raised his hand and gestured to take something out of his coat pocket.

When the guards on both sides of the hall saw this, their eyes were all sharp, and the spiritual power in their bodies instantly ran at high speed, ready to defend the emperor and kill the assassins at any time. Of course, Angus and the others hadn't really made any unusual moves, and the emperor hadn't spoken, so these guards were just ready to attack at the moment.

Angus didn't care at all about the reactions of these royal guards, who were at most only second-level high-level cultivators, he just took out a corpse crystal, and used his mind to communicate the wisdom brain in the crystal.

The silver ball of light inside the translucent hedron 'woke up' and began to ripple slightly.

This is ...... What's that?' the Emperor furrowed his eyebrows. 'Spirits, although the strength of the spirit does not seem to be high, it seems to have a special sense of abnormality......

"What is this?" asked the Emperor curiously.

"Crystals are just ordinary spiritual crystals, which are used to store and nourish the spirits. Angus held up the corpse crystal and chuckled: "The point is this spirit in the crystal, its function! As for what it is, it is better to let it introduce itself." ”

"Interesting. The Emperor smiled with interest, "Meaning, this strange spirit can answer the questions that Yu wants to know, right?"

Angus didn't reply, the silver spirit ball in the crystal in his hand suddenly beat gently like a flame, and a ring of light composed of data streams emerged from the spirit core, and began to slowly rotate against the surface of the crystal, and everyone curiously fell on the silver ball of light and the data halo, from which they saw countless strange symbols and codes that they couldn't understand at all, and under careful viewing, it seemed that they could feel some mysterious charm from it, as if it contained infinite knowledge and truth, but if they looked carefully, they would find that they didn't feel anything at all。

It's as if you see something very precious, but you can't understand it!"

Among those royal guards with relatively low cultivation, there were some people who were not strong enough to be resolute after experiencing this sense of contradiction and confusion, just like a lover of reading who had discovered a famous book that he had not read, and instinctively wanted to explore it carefully, and before they knew it, their minds were addicted to it.

"Slap ——!" But soon, there was a crisp clapping sound in the audience hall, which swept over these disoriented guards, as if a basin of ice water had been poured from their heads, and all their consciousness was awakened in an instant.

These awakened people subconsciously followed the sound and saw the chief of the guard behind His Majesty the Emperor who was putting down his hands with a gloomy face. Obviously, the clapping sound was caused by the chief guard.

The chief of the guard swept his subordinates around with a cold gaze.

The guards understood that their gaffe just now had made the chief very dissatisfied, and they all lowered their heads with shame and ugliness, and when they raised it again, their gaze at the crystal in Angus's hand had become cold, and they would no longer be confused by the anomalies displayed by the strange spirit in the crystal.

It seems that these guards have excellent mental adjustment skills, so it's no wonder that they were selected as the guards of the palace.

Naturally, the emperor also saw the mental changes of these guards, he didn't care about the small gaffes of these people, and after a turn of his gaze, he fell on the spirit body in the crystal in Angus's hand again.

'A subtle afterglow of some unique rule? It's a pity that it's just a remnant of a little afterglow, and there is no value in carefully contemplating it, and even if it is a little aftertaste, it doesn't seem to be able to be interpreted at all!" thought to the Emperor with some regret in his heart.

After putting away his regrets, the emperor was still calm on the surface, but deep down he was actually dignified.

The Emperor was also well-informed, and although he could not comprehend the very strange mystery of the rules displayed by that spirit, he had at least understood one thing - the origin of this thing was not simple, and it was very likely that it came from the hands of some higher level being that was more powerful than himself. Or, at least, it has something to do with that kind of existence!

This is because the mystery of the 'rules' is a realm that can only be reached by those who have mastered the power of the realm at least the fourth level!

You must know that even if it is an ordinary pure-blooded dragon species, or the elders and seniors in the Imperial "Sect Elder's Academy", they only have the strength of the third-level Legendary Realm at most! Now that he suddenly saw such a thing that was likely to be related to the power of the fourth-level realm, the emperor couldn't help but attach great importance to it.

[Hehe, that's good! It's not in vain that I deliberately let the Inheritance Brain try to stimulate the essential power of the data ability as much as possible.] Jiang Yan, who was secretly observing, saw the emperor's reaction through Angus's perspective, although the other party was very good at hiding his emotions, but through some very subtle changes in micro-expressions, Jiang Yan still saw a lot of information. Therefore, he knew that at this moment, the emperor's mentality had roughly developed in the direction of his script.

Does Jiang Yan really possess the cultivation of the power of the fourth-level realm? Of course not! However, this does not prevent him from taking advantage of some of his abilities to build momentum for himself, so that the allies who are about to establish a cooperative relationship will not dare to look down on him.

Although Jiang Yan was not a fourth-level realm powerhouse, he had already had the experience of personally facing the domain power of the fourth-level power, and he also had a good understanding of the power and nature of that realm, and the source of it was naturally the Star Luo Venerable Lord who made him suffer a big loss in the first place.

The power of the fourth-level realm is the realm that has already involved the category of 'rules/laws', which is roughly embodied in the comprehension, interference, destruction and even creation of the essence of rules!

In that kind of realm, it is no longer just the amount of energy that can determine victory or defeat, the key to the confrontation between the domain is more about the strength and depth of the rules they have comprehended, just like the confrontation between the top students to do 'formula solving'.

They can even use the power of the rules they have in their hands to initially pry into the composition of the object of the 'world' itself. For example: material reconstruction, rebellion against life and death, and opening up planes!

For example, the interference of the domain power of the Star Luo Venerable Lord with the regular phenomenon of "space" at that time made Jiang Yan almost completely unable to fight back and was beaten.

And according to his understanding of the fourth-level realm, Jiang Yan discovered an interesting thing - his own data ability seemed to be a kind of innate strange talent power that could directly develop all the way to the fourth-level realm without hindrance. Because, the nature of the data ability seems to be able to exert a very powerful effect similar to the 'rules' level in itself!

At least, as he collected more knowledge and secrets, no matter how much Jiang Yan thought about it, he didn't think that this kind of ability of his would be the power that transcendents below the fourth level could have.

So he made some attempts along this line of thought, and found that if he did it deliberately, he could use his ability to disguise the characteristics of a fourth-level realm powerhouse to some extent.

Now, through the inheritance of the copy and weakened version of the data ability of the Zhi Brain, the unique afterglow of the rules and mysteries that is displayed in front of the emperor of the Duragon Empire is deliberately disguised by Jiang Yan.

Now it seems that his approach is still very successful, Jiang Yan estimates that even if a third-level and ninth-order legendary powerhouse comes, he should not be able to see through his specious camouflage methods.

It's just that he doesn't know if this kind of disguise can fool those real fourth-level realm powers. But fortunately, although Jiang Yan deduced through various clues that there should be a fourth-level powerhouse in this world, the existence of that level will definitely not wander around casually outside, as long as the luck is not too bad, Jiang Yan should not just bump into it.

After bluffing the emperor, the more he did it, the more he would increase the probability of revealing the stuffing, Jiang Yan made the inheritance wisdom brain stop the unique aura of the data ability that was deliberately released.

So it didn't take long for the emperor to discover that he could no longer feel the afterglow of the "power of rules" from the spiritual appearance of the brain.

'It's not a delusion......!' the Emperor was a little puzzled by the change.

However, before he could think about it, the silver ball of light transformed by the Inheritance Wisdom Brain emitted a circle of faint spiritual power, and this spiritual power fluctuated into the air, causing the air to vibrate, and then formed a cold, empty, textureless, strange sound.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, it's an honor to meet you!" This machine is one of the second-level dependents who serve the great 'Lord of Dreams', you can call this machine number 277. 』

When the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly understood that it was the spirit in the crystal that was 'talking'.

He looked at Zhi Brain curiously and asked, "Is the 'dependent' of the 'Lord of Dreams'...... 277...... This should just be a number, right?"

"There are many dependents who serve our lord like this one, and it is more efficient to identify them by number. Zhi Brain replied coldly.

"Huh, two hundred......," the emperor thought back, and the wise brain reported the numbered number.

If this guy is not lying, this number also reveals at least one information: the number of such dependents under the command of the so-called "Dream Lord" exceeds two hundred, or even more.

After all, the other party also mentioned the word 'level 2 dependents'! So is there still level 1, level 3 or something like that?

"So, the dependents of the 'Lord of Dreams' specially appeared to find Yu, do you have anything to say?"

"Then, Your Majesty the Emperor, I'm going straight to the point—my lord wants to start a partnership with the Empire. 』

"Cooperation?" The emperor was not surprised, but he just sneered: "Before you put forward this intention, should you explain it to Yu first-you used that 'dream world' to bewitch Yu's rude behavior of hundreds of thousands of people in the empire without Yu's permission?"
