Chapter 366: No Matter the Change, its Essence Remains the Same

Seeing Wang Xiao’s suspicious gaze, Tang Longji’s expression became strange.
After a short silence, Tang Longji finally said the truth, “Under normal circumstances, we just need to use the [Lord Core] to devour it.”
“What if it’s an un-ordinary situation?”
As if sensing something, Wang Xiao probed, “For example, can the Blue Planet’s [Lord Core] devour and fuse with the Purple Star’s [Lord Core]?”
“I don’t know.”
BoxNovel.comTang Longji shook his head honestly. “In the past, when we encountered foreign invaders on the battlefield, we would either capture them alive to obtain information or directly kill them. Your situation has never happened before—at least, I’ve never heard of it.”
Wang Xiao was momentarily stunned. Zhou Xiruo could not help but shout, “You’ve never seen it before, but you still asked Wang Xiao to devour it. What if something happens? Uncle Tang! We came to you because we believe in you, but your…”
“Xiruo!”
Wang Xiao interrupted Zhou Xiruo in a low voice and then smiled apologetically at Tang Longji. “Uncle Tang, I’m sorry. Xiruo was just worried about me and was impulsive. Please don’t take offense.”
“No, no. Actually, she’s right.”
Tang Longji knew that he had said something wrong, but he wasn’t angry. He waved his hand and explained, “However, I really don’t have any intention of harming you. I just feel that since things like the [Challenge Arena] can be effective against the foreign races, perhaps the ‘Lord Duel’ can also be effective. ”
“Perhaps?”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao revealed a suspicious expression. His rationality told him that the success rate would definitely not be too high, but for some reason, he suddenly had the urge to give it a try.
Tang Longji didn’t know what Wang Xiao was thinking, so he continued, “No matter what happens, it’s still the same. Regardless of whether it’s the lord of the Blue Planet or the lord of the Purple Star, apart from their different body structures, the way they fight and summon troops is the same.”
“Everyone has their own territory and has to rely on energy to summon troops. Didn’t your city’s defense also use Crimson Star’s fortifications? Since we can use fortifications, it means that we’re essentially the same—”
At this point, Tang Longji paused for half a second and continued solemnly, “Since the essence is the same, the [Lord Core] should be able to fuse with each other. What do you think?”
Wang Xiao opened his mouth but didn’t say anything, because he didn’t know what he was thinking.
On one hand, the thought of fusing with the Purple Star [Lord Core] made Wang Xiao instinctively feel that something was amiss. However, when he recalled all the milestones he had reached along the way, it seemed like this was not far-fetched.
Moreover, there was something that Tang Longji did not know. Wang Xiao was indeed very clear about the true origin of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon].
As a “holy beast” artificially nurtured by the Purple Star, the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon should be using the Purple Star’s energy, while Wang Xiao was using the Blue Planet’s energy.
However, other than occasionally resisting the [Contract], the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] did not have any other abnormalities. Especially when it cooperated with Wang Xiao, it could be described as having a telepathic connection.
This seemed to indicate that the energy of the Blue Planet and the Purple Star were essentially the same.
The main function of the [Lord Core] was to produce energy. Since the energy of the two planets could be figured out, did it mean that the two [Lord Cores] could also fuse?
As soon as this thought appeared, the urge to give it a try in Wang Xiao’s heart became even stronger.
Looking at the huge mirror that was almost one with the sky, he felt as if he had suddenly seen a table full of delicious food after starving for three days…
“Wang Xiao!”
All of a sudden, Wang Xiao came back to his senses. He looked at Zhou Xiruo and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Were you thinking of giving it a try?”
Zhou Xiruo frowned at Wang Xiao and said in a deep voice, “Don’t deny it! We’ve known each other for so long. I can tell what you’re thinking just by looking at your eyes!”
“I wasn’t going to deny it…”
Wang Xiao muttered softly and smiled awkwardly at Zhou Xiruo. “I don’t plan to do it now. I just want to think about whether it’s feasible first.”
“You can’t even think about it!”
Zhou Xiruo pulled a long face, and her expression was abnormally serious. “The risk of this is too high. Don’t even think about it!”
Wang Xiao sighed, but before he could say anything, Tang Longji suddenly said, “Xiruo is right. Don’t even think about it.”
Wang Xiao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Tang Longji. “Uncle Tang, what do you mean? Didn’t you ask me to try it just now?”
“I want you to try, but not now.”
Tang Longji pointed at the two [Lord Cores] in the air. “According to your description, the owner of that [Lord Core] should be a level four or even level five lord.”
“And you’re only a level three lord now. Even if it’s an ownerless core, it’s not something you can control now.” Wang Xiao seemed to understand. “Then when can I control it?”
“Advance to level four lord first…
Tang Longji replied casually. Before he could finish, he immediately changed his words. “No! It’s better to become a level five. It’s safer that way.”
“Level five?!”
When Wang Xiao heard this request, he almost choked on his own saliva. “Are you joking?”
It had only been slightly more than a month since Wang Xiao had leveled up to a level three lord. Moreover, from level four onwards, the amount of resources needed to level up was astronomical!
Even if he started plundering the secret realm day and night from today onwards, it would take him at least a year to become a level four lord. As for a level five lord… In any case, he could forget about it for three to five years.
After some calculations, Wang Xiao came up with a long, despairing figure. Although three to five years was not a long time, Lang Buli’s [Lord Core] would remain in his territory until then!
“No! Absolutely not!”
Wang Xiao secretly made up his mind, but there was a helpless expression on his face. He sighed and said, “Thank you, Uncle Tang. I know how to solve it.”
“You know?”
Tang Longji was stunned when he heard this. “Don’t tell me you really want to
devour and fuse it? It’s not that easy to become a level five lord. Moreover, this is only my idea. It might not really succeed…”
“I know.”
Wang Xiao smiled awkwardly and said listlessly, “Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take three to five years to become a level five lord. This method is unrealistic, so I want to ask Academy Head Huang or Commander Chen if there’s any other way.”
Tang Longji thought for a moment and nodded. “That’s fine. They’re all experienced seniors. Perhaps they really have a way.”
Wang Xiao nodded in agreement, but Zhou Xiruo frowned slightly.
Just as she had said before, she had known Wang Xiao for such a long time. They really understood each other. Sometimes, even with just a glance, she would know what Wang Xiao was thinking, just like now.
Although Wang Xiao looked helpless, Zhou Xiruo knew that he definitely had a plan in his heart, and it was a very risky plan!
