Which one of the giants in the Supreme Board of Directors was not an ambitious and ambitious figure? Which one of them would be willing to be the watchdogs of the Inner Court for the rest of their lives?

“Of course they are.”

Gu Jiumu shook his head and said,” They are not only afraid that the highest board of directors will usurp the throne, but they are also afraid that the various divine halls of the gods will rise again. At that time, there will be another war between the gods and humans. Without the strategic depth of the Inner Court, the Divine Kingdom on land, they are just a castle in the air. There is no chance of winning.”

” So even now, the Inner Court is still trying to strengthen their control by various means.

“The list of privileges that you saw is just one of them.”

Lin Yi understood.

By using the priceless treasures on the list, not only could they win over the giants, but once someone bought these things, the Inner Court could also play tricks and monitor the giants on a deeper level, or even control them.

“How strong is the Inner Court?” Lin Yi frowned.

” Other than Kong Shenglin, no one here has actually met those royal powerhouses. I can only say that they are very strong. As for how strong they are, I don’t know.”

“However, there’s something that can be seen from a small part of the situation.” Gu Jiumu changed the topic.

“What is it?” Lin Yi asked curiously.

“Mystic Venerables can’t be challenged, you should know this man-made rule, but do you know where it came from?”

” It’s a birthday present specially prepared by a big shot in the Inner Court to celebrate the birthday of his one-month-old son,” Gu Jiumu answered faintly.

Lin Yi was speechless.

He had a deeper understanding of this saying.

Lin Yi looked at the waves.” The difference in strength is so great. If the Supreme Oracle doesn’t work anymore and the royal masters are released from the inner palace, it’ll be a big problem.”

In the eyes of others, the Supreme Oracle was as unbreakable as the laws of the world. It was impossible for it to appear regardless of the word.

But in Lin Yi’s eyes, this wasn’t just a possibility-it wasn’t just a one-time thing, it was going to get worse!

“That day will definitely come.”

Gu Jiumu nodded. He was not a cultivator of the ancient gods, but as the World Wayfarer who knew all the gods, he naturally knew much more than the others.

” When that time comes, the Divine Kingdom on land will be in chaos again.”

” It’s true that the highest board of directors is a watchdog, but even dogs have uncontrollable ambitions. There are also times when they break free from their leashes and bare their teeth at their masters.

“However, when the royal power comes out, the one who will have the greatest reaction will definitely be the theocracy.”

“The war between humans and gods has begun again. This time, perhaps even the gods will personally participate.”

Gu Jiumu’s tone was calm, but the scene he described in those few sentences made Lin Yi’s hair stand on end.

“Will the Inner Court be our enemy then?” Lin Yi asked after a moment of silence.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Gu Jiumu glanced at him and shook his head lightly.” It’s fine if you say such things. Whoever believes you is a fool.”

” Since we have chosen this path, we are destined to be enemies with the whole world. The gods are our enemies, and so is the Inner Court. It’s just a matter of urgency.”

Lin Yi nodded.

Gu Jiumu’s gaze fell on the hourglass again. He returned to the main topic and said,” The Inner Court is extremely controlling. Every item they offer, apart from the price tag on the surface, has a greater price hidden behind it.” “Then, doesn’t that mean this thing is a hot potato?” Lin Yi asked, his head aching.

The hourglass meant too much to him. If he gave it up because of the Inner Court’s surveillance, it would be a bit of a waste.

No matter how he thought about it, he was unwilling.

Gu Jiumu smiled.” That’s not necessarily the case. Don’t you still have that lord?” The methods of the Inner Court are brilliant, but compared to that person, they are still far inferior.”

He was naturally referring to Jiang Xiaoshang.

“That’s true,” Lin Yi smiled.”It’d be a waste not to use such a great tool.”

With his current relationship with Jiang Xiaoshang, there was really nothing to be polite about.

But even if Jiang Xiaoshang could help him solve the problem, Lin Yi was still hesitant about using the hourglass immediately.

If the effect of the Time Hourglass was really as powerful as it described, then once it was used, the entire New World would definitely undergo earth-shattering changes.

At that time, Lin Yi’s strength would definitely rise, and he would definitely reach the Mystic class.

In that case, it would not be so convenient for him to take advantage of the man-made order.

“Your luck should have reached the upper limit now, right?” Gu Jiumu took the initiative to ask when he saw his hesitation.

“Yes, a hundred.”

Lin Yi didn’t hide anything, and there was no need to.

Even though he did not trust Gu Jiumu in all aspects, they were allies who shared the same standpoint. In addition to the conversation just now, they had already established a preliminary trust relationship.

” It’s much faster than I expected,” Gu Jiumu looked at him in surprise when he heard the answer.

“What’s with the luck limit?” Lin Yi asked. Could it be that everyone’s luck limit is 100?”

“That’s not it.”

Gu Jiumu explained unhurriedly,” Regarding the nature of luck, there are two more accepted theories. One is that it comes from the blessing of the Heavenly Dao. The other is that it is the influence that an individual can exert on the entire world. Which one do you think is it?”

“The second one,” Lin Yi said after thinking.

The first one was more in line with the simple understanding of the general public. To a certain extent, it did make sense, but from his personal experience, the second one was more convincing.

This included the fact that he used Order to steal the fate of the world, and it was all because he killed a Mystic Venerable and broke the Order, which had a profound impact on the world.

Luck was not illusory. It was something that could be grasped in one’s hands.

This point had been verified recently.

” Yes.” Gu Jiumu nodded.” If we follow the second theory, the greater the influence a person can have on the world, the more luck he has.”

” Judging from this perspective, the main factors that determine a person’s luck are power, status, and background.

“Of course, the most important thing is still strength.”

“If that’s the case, then strength is the most important factor in determining the limit of luck.. One hundred rays of luck is the limit of a golden class peak?”
