Chapter 7: Conditions for Departure
Looking into Lian Yun's eyes, Li Si felt a twinge of reluctance and sighed, shaking his head. "One trillion Imperial Coins."
"Imperial Coins? Do we need to kill that so-called Filth to obtain them?" Lian Yun furrowed her brows deeply.
Just the Supreme Soul Coins and Diamond Spirit Coins were already fraught with difficulties; it would take decades or even centuries to acquire them. How much more challenging would it be to obtain the seemingly more valuable Imperial Coins?
However, Li Qing shook his head and said, "Filth are worthless creatures; killing them will yield nothing. The Imperial Coins are a reward for completing the mission after defeating the Filth."
"What is the usual harvest for a Peerless Monarch?" Lian Yun's brows relaxed slightly, but her tone remained serious.
"Within the same realm, strength is secondary; it mainly depends on the type and level of the kills. Take the Thunder Emperor, who is traveling with you this time; he can earn up to one billion Imperial Coins in a month."
The Insect Emperor was someone who could turn his body into a sieve, yet even he, one of the most diligent among the Peerless Monarchs, could only earn a maximum of one billion in a month.
That meant one trillion would take a thousand months—over eighty-three years.
And that was in the best-case scenario; realistically, it would take at least a century to leave.
Lian Yun understood that leaving Yin Yang City was not easy, but she never imagined it would be this difficult.
This realization made her face tighten with worry.
Li Qing looked at Lian Yun for a while before reminding her, "Private Armies can also be used to fight against Filth."
Lian Yun's eyes brightened at once, unable to help but ask, "Is this also a special favor from the Emperor? Why?"
Li Qing shook his head and said, "Although Filth is useless on its own, it can infect individuals. If the Three Major Troops are injured, their special abilities will diminish significantly, and in the end, they may even die. For example, the Terracotta Army would lose its ability to resurrect infinitely, and you would end up suffering great losses."
This truly felt like a false hope! Lian Yun suddenly felt weak all over.
"Brother Li, do you know how to obtain a large amount of Soul Currency?"
"Yun Di, do you know why the Emperor wants to recruit people from all over the world instead of just Chinese People?"
Lian Yun looked up, puzzled.
"I hope Yun Di will not disclose this to outsiders. The reason for recruiting globally is to resist Filth, as the Three Major Troops are nearly countered by it. Moreover, the Emperor does not wish for too many Chinese People to suffer casualties; otherwise, Yin Yang City could directly cover the Land of Huaxia."
"As for why it is necessary to establish Yin Yang City—only the Emperor can explain that. Otherwise, I cannot disclose it to you."
Although such news was shocking, considering the Emperor's past vow to protect the Chinese People even after death made it somewhat understandable.
However, Lian Yun also realized the difficulty of leaving Yin Yang City.
Whether it was Yin-Yang City or Yin City, the need for so many laborers was essentially to give birth to more Peerless Monarchs who could slay more Filth.
Thus, only the strong would receive special treatment and challenges.
It seemed that he was being cultivated as an important military minister by the Emperor!
Lian Yun felt no resentment about this; after all, if what he had received so far was indeed due to the Emperor's special favor, then he had gained significant assistance from him. Out of gratitude and reason, he should help alleviate the Emperor's troubles in return.
However, in less than two years, Huaxia Land may undergo changes. For the sake of the Lin Clan, the people of Huaxia, and my grandmother's Birthday Banquet, Lian Yun must return to take a look.
"Is there a compromise?"
"Currently, there are no precedents. However, in my opinion, if Yun Di could meet with the Emperor, perhaps the Emperor could offer some conditions. As for how to meet the Emperor, it can only be through his summons. As for how to receive such a summons..."
"There are still no clear precedents. However, I believe that if we can fight in another space and gain the favor of the six Princes, making them speak well of us in front of the Emperor, then we might have a chance to meet him!"
Li Qing understood Lian Yun's feelings and did not wait for further questions. Instead, he shared his thoughts completely.
Lian Yun could only nod in response, still feeling powerless.
Half Emperors are ruthless; one can see this from the Qingming Event and The Only Empress - Xia Xue. If he were to act lively in front of a Half Emperor, it would only annoy them, and they might casually eliminate him.
Thus, Li Qing's suggestion was merely a stroke of luck. It required Lian Yun to work exceptionally hard to hunt Filth for such a fortunate event to occur.
However, for Lian Yun, even without this situation, he would still need to crazily slaughter Filth to obtain Imperial Coins. So everything depended on fate!
After understanding these circumstances, Lian Yun took his leave and returned to the Mansion. He handed over billions of Silver Treasure Boxes and wooden treasure boxes to Ma Wenlong before entering the Mansion to sit quietly and contemplate life.
With Three Thousand private soldiers, since they couldn't deal with Filth, Lian Yun himself didn't need them. Yet this Three Thousand quota had at least two possible uses.
One was to hand them over to Yaochi; if my grandmother, Aunt, or Sisters-in-law came in the future, they would have sufficient safety. The second was that if the Lin Clan wanted to establish a Fortress, it could form a powerful defensive force.
However, Lian Yun chose not to dwell on these matters for now. He did not visit the Imperial City Mansion but instead stored away millions of Diamond Spirit Coins. Regardless of whether the Lin Clan came or how many people arrived in the future, there would be enough funds available for activation.
After contemplating these matters, Lian sat quietly in the Mansion.
At first, Lan Ruoxuan had no words, but after playing a few calming melodies, she noticed that Lian Yun's mind was still restless. She asked, "What troubles you?"
In her view, Lian Yun should be pleased to have obtained the title and rank of Cloud Emperor, so why did she seem even more troubled? As for the matter with Qin Kui, she didn't dwell on it too much, considering that Lian Yun had already made a life-and-death pact with him.
"Leaving is difficult, harder than ascending to the heavens," Lian Yun shook her head and replied.
Lian Yun felt somewhat cornered, which was why she expressed such sentiments.
However, Lan Ruoxuan paused for a moment before rarely breaking into a light laugh. "The Yaochi Dungeon and the Year Beast BSS—were either of those completed by anyone in a hundred years? They were not impossible tasks. Yet both were accomplished within about a year of your arrival here. With nearly two years still ahead of you, why do you lack confidence?"
Although these three matters were entirely different, hearing Lan Ruoxuan's words brought clarity to Lian Yun.
Indeed, she realized that she didn't even know what Filth truly was; how could she feel defeated just upon hearing a figure in the trillions?
Lian Yun initially shook her head in self-deprecation and smiled bitterly, but then nodded as her mind gradually calmed.
She then revealed a sense of determination, radiating an aura of sharpness.
