This Lord is Very Scientific

So, you're saying...

The true mastermind might be the Ratman race, or even the Ratman Lord or that deity of theirs?

Lin Ke frowned, "But that doesn't make sense scientifically. I have no conflict of interest with them."

"No, you do." The Insomnia Emperor said in a deep voice, "Five months ago, I discovered a time-space signal..."

At first, Insomnia didn't want to tell Lin Ke, but now felt it was better to inform him.

After hearing Insomnia's words, Lin Ke's expression became increasingly grave.

What Insomnia was about to say was likely the reason for this change in the nobility council.

This time, unlike before, the assembly included all forces across the Naseng Continent.

Originally an event for selecting nobles in the Gula Kingdom, it turned into a grand meeting of strong figures from the Naseng Continent,

"A century!" The Insomnia Emperor frowned and said, "In a century, Naseng will encounter another Main Plane!"

Main Plane!

Lin Ke's expression shook.

Another Main Plane?

As the Main Plane, Naseng dominated the All Heavens Star Realm, with countless gods and legends venturing into the boundless Star Realm over the years.

All other planes were merely referred to as "secondary planes" before Naseng.

However, Naseng actually had opponents.

Previously, Ove had explained to him that on the planet where Naseng was located, there were two other continents: the Kaos Continent and the Feld Gamma Continent.

Implying the Beast Spirit Continent and the Eternal Twilight Continent, while Naseng was also known as the Void Abyss Continent.

These three continents existed independently as Main Planes, immensely powerful.

And now, Insomnia was telling him that there was a new Main Plane appearing?

"The power of Naseng must unite!" The Insomnia Emperor said in a deep voice, "Therefore, this nobility council is very important."

Then, he looked at Lin Ke, "Our Gula Kingdom has not disclosed this news. All nobles participating in the council are random, this is my promise."

"Correspondingly, the manner and location of the nobility council will be decided by us, and of course, the number of participants as well."

"For this nobility council, I will provide an undeveloped secondary plane for all of you to enter."

With that, the Insomnia Emperor pondered for a moment and added, "Just train your troops well; there's no need to risk everything, treat it as a trial opportunity."

"Yes, Little Lin Ke," the Five-Colored Dragon Mother smiled, "You've burdened yourself with too much over the years. When we were your age, we only knew how to charge forward."

The top ten...

A sense of pressure emerged in Lin Ke's heart.

Over two hundred factions, with the highest level set at the Starlight level...

Insomnia slowly walked down, came to Lin Ke's side, and patted him on the shoulder:

"By then, many people will send numerous advanced professionals inside, but you need not worry. Train your troops well, and your brilliance will shine in the future."

Train your troops well.

Lin Ke felt the familial affection from Insomnia Emperor, like that of an elder, and the nurturing spirit of a noble predecessor towards future generations.

"I give you an ordinance." Insomnia thought for a moment, extended his right hand, and gradually, a gemstone formed in his palm from the void: "Go to the thirty-sixth level of the Abyss and find someone named Li Guan Mobai. He is a legendary Great Blacksmith who can help you forge a weapon."

Weapons and equipment!

Legendary Great Blacksmith!

Lin Ke didn't have a weapon that suited him, always using some enchanted longswords he bought.

For writing and painting, the Deep Blue Tiger Tail Brush sufficed.

He indeed needed a weapon!

Lin Ke hadn't had time to speak when the Five-Colored Dragon Mother descended, holding a small piece of prismatic scale that shimmered in a myriad of colors: "The Astrologer Derbius once promised me a divination opportunity, which I now bestow upon you."

Legendary Astrologer Derbius!

The powerful legend known for slaying the Goddess of Fortune and keeping the God of Four Seasons captive.

It's said that this Astrologer can glimpse a certain course of the river of destiny, known as divination.

However, this skill consumes a lot, and the Astrologer hasn't divined for anyone in a century.

"Derbius is in the Forest Castle on the ninety-fifth level of the Abyss. Though he has a bad temper, with my scale he won't harm you."

The Five-Colored Dragon Mother, despite appearing like a robust countryside woman, was very gentle with Lin Ke, reminiscent of Fulon's feelings towards Lin Ke.

The Legendary Great Blacksmith Li Guan Mobai on the thirty-sixth level!

The Legendary Astrologer Derbius on the ninety-fifth level!

Indeed, great figures know other great figures, and the introductions from Insomnia and the Five-Colored Dragon Mother were casually of legendary figures.

"Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law." A warm feeling surged in Lin Ke's heart.

"Alright, off you go." Insomnia patted Lin Ke's shoulder again: "Losing doesn't matter, it's mainly about troop training, I have other plans."

Other plans?

An image of the pudgy Count of Tulip flashed across Lin Ke's mind.

"That's it, go on." The Five-Colored Dragon Mother waved towards Lin Ke and Rica as well.

Lin Ke and Rica immediately took their leave.

...

"Have you made up your mind?" Rica asked, chatting with Lin Ke as they walked.

"I haven't decided." Lin Ke wasn't sure what he should divine.

He had a very clear and defined plan for the future, with the only uncertainty being the malicious mastermind against him.

But using this divination opportunity to uncover the mastermind felt a bit wasteful!

Rica knew Lin Ke's personality well. In his view, maximizing benefits was best in many matters, and many things couldn't be exchanged regardless of gains.

"It's worth it." Fingertips interlocked, Rica and Lin Ke strolled slowly towards the teleportation array: "It's your emotional knot, my Lin Ke."

Rica turned to look at Lin Ke.

She knew how important Ove was in Lin Ke's heart.

"Alright." Lin Ke made up his mind because of Rica.

Teacher Ove's death was indeed an emotional knot!

Though he had narrowed down the range of suspects, he still couldn't be certain.

This time, directly ask the Astrologer to expose it!

Having decided, Lin Ke and Rica stepped into the teleportation array together.

Destination, the Forest Castle on the ninety-fifth level!

The city on the ninety-fifth level wasn't large, but the forest area was extensive.

Most of the life forms were Tree-men, with the most powerful and well-known race being the Needle Tree Race, one of the five major races of the Eternal Freeze Court.

After arriving, Lin Ke and Rica inquired about the location of the Forest Castle and headed there.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, a black hole suddenly appeared, pulling both him and Rica in.

The two were immediately dizzy within the black hole.

...

A flash of white light appeared, causing Lin Ke to instinctively shield his eyes.

Where is this...?

The next moment, a cold and aloof voice sounded in his ear:

"Your brain has suffered a severe blow. Although your parents have passed away, there should be savings, pay the medical fee."
