Chapter 770: Chapter 34: Flame Blood

“Mr. Qin Lin.”

Earl of Tianchuan couldn’t help but say, “Do you know how many low-level chaotic creatures are there on Jueying Star?”

“Not too sure, maybe tens of thousands? Or more?” Lin Qing replied casually, “But this has nothing to do with the number, right.”

Earl of Tianchuan shook his head slightly and said, “Among these low-level chaotic creatures, many have also joined the ranks of us earls, and some have apprenticed themselves to those peak powerhouses and even became disciples of the Eternal!”

He looked at Lin Qing, “There are quite a few who have created their own space-time divine skills and own lifebound cosmic treasures. Is Mr. Qin Lin confident that you can be invincible among the low-level chaotic creatures on Jueying Star?”

“What’s false can’t become true.” Lin Qing couldn’t be bothered to explain further.

“Indeed, will Mr. Qin Lin’s master be willing to make a move?” Earl of Tianchuan said, “The lords of Jueying Star have an agreement of war, except for state domain wars or national wars, we try to minimize casualties when competing for territories.”

He said, “We always determine territory ownership through the ranking of the strength of the lords and their subordinates. As long as half of the lords agree, we can start the contest at any time.”

“Territory ownership?” Lin Qing said, “Doesn’t that mean your territories have to change frequently? The name of the Tianchuan District has to keep changing too?”

Earl of Tianchuan laughed and shook his head, “Mr. Qin Lin has misunderstood. The territory I speak of does not refer to the Jueying Continent. Although the tax revenues and talent cultivation from the citizens of Jueying Continent have some value, the truly important parts are not these, but the natural areas not suitable for human habitation on Jueying Continent.”

“Oh?” Lin Qing looked at him.

“There are a total of thirty-one dangerous yet valuable natural areas on Jueying Star.”

Earl of Tianchuan said, “These dangerous places are naturally formed because of the planet’s rules, environment, cosmic source power, and other special factors, so various treasures come with them, making these uninhabited zones treasures to us.”

He sighed, “Therefore, the high-level chaotic creatures of Jueying Star are generally more affluent. Those who have obtained these lands have some background and connections.”

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

“So, Earl of Tianchuan means… if I can help Earl of Qishui acquire a higher-ranked territory, will Earl of Qishui possibly give me the Destiny Dice?” Lin Qing said.

“Exactly.” Earl of Tianchuan nodded, “Earl of Qishui’s strength is considered above average among the twelve earls on Jueying Star, but his connections and background are ordinary, so he cannot recruit powerful subordinates, and his subordinates are at the lower end among the twelve factions. Therefore, the land he gets is relatively backward.”

Lin Qing contemplated.

Earl of Tianchuan said, “If you can help him rank his subordinates’ battle positions at the forefront, and then have your master step in to push his lord’s ranking forward, he will naturally be willing to give you the Destiny Dice.”

“You can hire people…” Lin Qing pondered for a moment and then said, “I have some questions.”

“Since within Jueying Star, as long as half of the lords agree to initiate the ranking battle, you can re-rank at any time. Even if I helped Earl of Qishui once, after it’s over, if other lords restart the ranking war, wouldn’t it still be in vain?” Lin Qing asked.

“Oh, there is a time limit.” Earl of Tianchuan said, “Each ranking war has to be at least 38 million years apart. The last ranking war was 200 million years ago.”

“200 million years?” Lin Qing was surprised, “Hasn’t a ranking war been initiated for such a long interval?”

“Of course.”

Earl of Tianchuan said, “Ranking wars are life-and-death battles; even lords could die. Unless there is absolute confidence, no one is willing to easily initiate a ranking war, even if it means being ranked lower.”

Lin Qing slowly nodded, looked at Earl of Tianchuan again, and asked, “If I help Earl of Qishui, won’t Earl of Tianchuan be afraid of losing his own interests?”

“I have nothing to lose.” Earl of Tianchuan smiled faintly, “Among the twelve lords, I rank eleventh, three places lower than Earl of Qishui. His higher ranking does not affect me.”

Lin Qing was speechless.

He shook his head and laughed, “Since ranking wars are so important, the lords must have sought help from other powerhouses, right?”

“Of course.” Earl of Tianchuan said, “But inviting some low-level chaotic creatures with strong abilities is still okay, not too expensive. However, inviting real high-level chaos creatures for such life-and-death battles is costly. Even 38 million years of income may not be enough, which is not worthwhile.”

Lin Qing nodded in realization.

“Moreover, even if they are low-level chaotic creatures, those true geniuses from major forces don’t care about such small benefits.” Earl of Tianchuan sighed, “Getting a disciple of an eternal existence is already remarkable.”

He looked at Lin Qing and asked, “Mr. Qin Lin, have you made your decision? If you are confident, I can contact Earl of Qishui for you.”

“Alright, thank you, Earl of Tianchuan. You can contact Earl of Qishui now.” Lin Qing said.

Earl of Tianchuan was taken aback and asked, “Mr. Qin Lin, don’t you need to consult with your master?”

“This minor matter, I dare not trouble my master.” Lin Qing shook his head slightly, “I have another candidate, but does Earl of Tianchuan have information on these lords?”

“I’ll send you the latest.” Earl of Tianchuan said, transmitting two pieces of information to Lin Qing through the Second Cosmic Network.

Lin Qing immediately began reviewing them carefully.

One piece of information was about the elites among the subordinates of the twelve lords. He glanced at it casually and paid it no further attention.

The other piece of information was about the twelve lords.

The strength of the other eleven lords varied,

but the only one that truly made him feel pressured was ‘Fushan Bo’, who was ranked first.
