Li Mu opened his eyes and observed the smoke-like psychic energy enveloping his body with the Illusion Breaker Eyes. This psychic energy was like maggots clinging to bones, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get rid of it.
This was the mark left by the Lord of Souls. Now, whenever he appeared in front of any follower of the Lord of Souls, his identity would be exposed.
“The mission can no longer continue; we should abandon it immediately and return to Eastern Xia,” Li Mei said worriedly.
In the City of Avonigardabadh, no one knew their identity or whereabouts, which was their greatest advantage. Staying any longer would only make them sitting ducks.
They had done their best, and now it was time to hand it over to Jiedu.
Shen Luoyan was working overtime to create the power armor. After obtaining the Sand of Dark Corrosion, her progress had greatly accelerated. Even with the changed design, the completion time was actually ahead of schedule.
“Let’s wait until my VT-1 is finished before leaving. It’ll be much safer then, and at least we won’t be completely defenseless when facing a third-level awakened,” she said confidently about her new creation. After incorporating the newly acquired psychic metal, it would undoubtedly be a powerful killing machine.
“No, we can’t mobilize the army until we have enough information,” Li Mu sternly rejected Li Mei’s suggestion.
“The 37th Brigade is the most elite synthetic brigade in Eastern Xia. We cannot take any risks. If there are losses, it will be difficult to mobilize other troops with equal combat strength to replace them. The worst outcome would be that the entire Eastern Xia will be left wide open. The original balance will be broken, and the situation will become irreversible.”
His original self was an outstanding graduate of the military academy, which allowed him to have a clear understanding of the current situation between Eastern Xia and Xindu Federation after learning some information in Avonigardabadh. Although Eastern Xia was still strong, its narrow territory, sparse population, and incomplete industries were causing its national strength to decline uncontrollably.
Although the Xindu Federation was on the verge of disintegration, with chaotic governance and people living in dire conditions, its enormous size gave it countless opportunities to start over.
But Eastern Xia only had one chance to fail.
The military was a matter of national importance, life and death, and survival.
He had once looked through Eastern Xia’s invasion operations against the Xindu Federation. The older the invasions, the more frequent they were, and the closer they were to modern times, the rarer they became. Especially after the Shen family from Tripla entered Avonigardabadh, there were only two tentative invasions.
Obviously, Jiedu had also sensed the changes in the balance of power between the two sides. That’s why she had bet everything on the Divine Land to reverse Eastern Xia’s decline.
He didn’t want Eastern Xia to be destroyed just shortly after he had joined it.
“But what about the mark on you?”
Li Mei said worriedly, “The infiltration of the Soul Cult in the Province of Avonigarda is getting worse, and we have been marked. Unless we hide here all the time, we will definitely be found.”
“Don’t worry, this small matter won’t bother me.”
Li Mu glanced at the psychic energy covering his body and said, “This psychic energy is ultimately rootless. Although it dissipates very slowly, it is indeed fading away. Moreover, I might be able to make use of this psychic energy.”
He opened his palm, called a bird to land on it, and then closed his eyes, immersing himself into the bird’s dream.
Due to limited wisdom, the dream was very simple, with only a deep darkness. Li Mu stood in the dream, his body slightly glowing, holding the beetle given to him by Tippolava Momo in his hand.
Soon, Tippolava Momo appeared in the dream.
He looked helpless, as he was somewhat resigned under Li Mu’s continuous provocation.
In his life, Tippolava Momo had never seen an ascendant diver as high-profile as Li Mu.
“What is it this time?” he asked.
“I have two requests and need your help.”
Tippolava Momo’s heart skipped a beat, recalling the extraordinary deeds Li Mu had done. He wanted to refuse immediately, but the terror of the World-Ending Dragon and his stupid peers, who only thought about eating people, made him decide to listen first.
“Go ahead.”
“First, I hope that our fellow beings can create some chaos in the State of Avonigarda.”
Li Mu said somewhat casually.
“What do you want to do?”
Tippolava Momo’s heartstrings tightened.
“It’s simple, create a terror atmosphere in Avonigarda. The losses of the security officers have been severe lately, and the entire city of Avonigarda is full of security flaws. It’s a good opportunity for our fellow beings to feast.”
Tippolava Momo hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Okay, I agree.”
“Second, I want you to introduce me to the Santanu family.”
Li Mu made his second request.
“Do you want to change your body?”
Tippolava Momo asked. He knew that Li Mu had been targeted by Rajaral Santanu before, and it was during that opportunity that he found a chance to have his current identity.
“Yes, my current identity has been thoroughly targeted, so I might as well change to another one. Moreover, I have been marked by the Soul Lord, and only the Santanu family can protect me.”
Li Mu said.
Tippolava Momo couldn’t possibly be unaware of the arrival of the vessel, so there was no point in concealing the mark on his body.
“You finally know what fear is. However, the mark of the Olden Day Ruler is indeed troublesome, as it is directly planted in the soul. Even if you change to another body, you cannot escape it.”
Tippolava Momo couldn’t help but laugh out loud, as Li Mu, who had always been bold and reckless, finally had a moment of fear.
“I promise you, but Rajaral Santanu is much greedier than anyone you’ve ever met. Women, money, or treasures – you have to satisfy his appetite before he’ll take you seriously.”
Li Mu nodded and said confidently.
“I’ve robbed so many banks, I can afford this amount of money.”
Tippolava Momo nodded, his figure slowly sinking into the dark dreamland.
“When there is progress, I will inform you. Be prepared to spend a lot, but after all, wealth has no use for us, the ascendant divers.”
Li Mu stood in the dreamland, and after a moment, he also disappeared into it.
With a gentle lift of his hand, the awakened bird lay quietly in his palm.
“From now on, I will separate from you two. Don’t stay here all the time, and be sure to move periodically. Use these birds to communicate with each other. I will contact you when it’s time to join that Rakshasa and launch an attack on the orphanage.”
Li Mei looked worried, as this was like plucking a chestnut from the fire – too dangerous.
“Don’t worry, trust me. If the situation is not right, I will immediately return to Eastern Xia with both of you.”
Li Mu said.
