Ultimate Scheming System

“You…you’re the Son of Light?”

“Ultraman Tiga?”

Everyone present seemed dazed as they stared blankly at Xu Que.

Although calling himself the Son of Light had already bewildered them, now he was calling himself Ultraman Tiga. This was getting really bizarre, completely outlandish.

“That’s right, a Divine Decree has stated clearly that I am the Son of Light. And it also bestows upon me the title of Ultraman Tiga. The deity has also commanded me to seek out the other Sons of Light in the world.” Xu Que spoke solemnly and appeared to be very much in earnest.

“Are there other Sons of Light?” Dean Wang Chi asked, surprised.

“Yes, of course there are. Dean Wang, we need to find the other Sons of Light as soon as possible. The more light we gather within the shortest period of time, the more likely it will be that the great tribulation can be prevented.” Xu Que spoke quickly, nodding his head.

“Why? What’s so important about the Sons of Light? Can’t this great tribulation be overcome simply by large numbers of people?” Dean Wang Chi frowned, perplexed.

All the Elders present were also confused. They began to feel that Xu Que was making stuff up and that everything he was saying was bullsh*t.

First of all, he’d said that the Son of Light was the only person who could make the Tao Test Stone produce the Divine Text. From ancient times to today, Xu Que had been the only person to have made text appear from the Tao Test Stone. So now he was telling them that they had to find more Sons of Light. Did he think it was going to be so easy?

Or, were there no other Sons of Light in this world?

“You’ve completely misunderstood me,” Xu Que said. “Not all Sons of Light can make the Tao Test Stone react like I did. In fact, each of us is a Son of Light, but our light is not the same. For example, you, Dean, are of the green light, which is what most people have. And you’re unable to rouse the Tao Test Stone. But I’m different, I’m a golden light, a sparkling golden light.”

“So, in other words, only the Son of Light with the golden light can make the Tao Test Stone react?” Someone asked Xu Que.

“That’s right. I’m the only one in the world who is a Son of the Golden Light. What we’re looking for now are the few Sons of White Light who exist. This way they can join with me, and together we will make up a Platinum Light that will be invincible in the world.” Xu Que slowly explained to them.

“Platinum Light?”

As soon as he’d finished explaining this, everyone present inhaled a big breath. They all thought that it sounded pretty awesome, even though they didn’t really understand it.

Anyway, it sounded fantastic, and they thought that they’d understood.

“No, no, no, you still don’t seem to understand.” Xu Que realized that even though these people were pretending to understand what he was talking about, they didn’t have a clue about any of it.

He continued his effort at explanation. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. Listen to me now, and I’ll break it down for you point by point.”

Xu Que’s voice got deeper and he feigned an air of mystery as he asked, “Do you know about the fetters?”

“What…what fetters?”

“What is he talking about? The fetters?”

“I think I’ve heard of it.”

Many of the disciples started discussing about fetters in low voices. The majority of them looked completely embarrassed because, once again, they had no idea what he was talking about.

“The fetters! My goodness, you don’t even know about the fetters? Have you ever played Teamfight Tactics before? Never mind, I’ll explain it another way. The fetters of light are very powerful. As the number of Sons of Light increases, the more powerful the fetters become.”

Xu Que explained, “These fetters of light have a minimum requirement of three kinds of light. But this kind is not very effective. If there are six kinds of light, we will basically be able to survive for the time being. Nine kinds of light would be powerful enough to destroy heaven and wipe out earth.”

“…..” Everyone who was listening to Xu Que spout out all this gobbledygook looked dumbfounded. They looked at each other in consternation. They had never felt so baffled in their entire lives.

No one could understand anything that Xu Que said. The one thing they’d latched onto was the fact that probably they were better off with the more Sons of Light the better.

AHEM! “Slayer Lord, then please tell us, how do we determine who are the Sons of White Light? Also, when will the next great tribulation be?” Dean Wang Chi interrupted Xu Que with a question. He was getting tired of listening to Xu Que. He decided to directly ask the question relating to the gist of the problem.

After all, there were so many people here. If everyone were to find out that he himself didn’t understand, then he would definitely lose face and look like a moron.

“It’s relatively easy to find the light, and yet it’s also very difficult. Anyway, in short, as long as there is some kind of payment, maybe money tokens…That’s not right, as long as there are enough Spirit Stones, then it won’t be a problem,” Xu Que said with a smile.

“As long as there are Spirit Stones?” Wang Chi was relieved to hear this. The Heaven Palace Sect was not short of Spirit Stones.

“Yes, there’s absolutely no time to lose, Dean. Now, if you will take out all the Spirit Stones from the Heaven Palace Sect, the more the better, I want to form a Divine Formation. This was also imparted to me by the deity. Once the Divine Formation is cast, the white light on the Sons of White Light will be illuminated.” Xu Que explained all these directions in an extremely serious manner.

“Okay. I understand.” Wang Chi also didn’t hesitate. Although the Spirit Stones were very precious, there was no harm in taking some out to allow Xu Que to try to illuminate the Sons of White LIght.

He immediately opened his storage ring and lightly tapped it with his finger. Immediately a purple glow flashed out and landed on the ground.

The next moment, once the glow had dispersed, a large number of white Spirit Stones appeared directly in front of Xu Que.

Xu Que stared at them. “My goodness,” he thought to himself, “these are all middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones and they are piled so high. There must be at least 10,000 pieces.”

“But seeing how Wang Chi took them out with such ease,…perhaps this amount of Celestial Spirit Stones is just a drop in the ocean to him.” Xu Que’s mind was working overtime.

“No, I must redouble my efforts.”

“Well, Dean Wang Chi, is the Heaven Palace Sect going to be ruined?” Xu Que suddenly scowled miserably. He looked at Wang Ch, his eyes full of despair.

“How dare you say that? What do you mean? The Heaven Palace Sect ruined?… Slayer Lord, you’d better explain yourself. I thought we were going to set up a Divine Formation and seek out the Sons of Light. How is my Heaven Palace Sect going to be ruined?” Wang Chi attempted to control his fury as he glared at Xu Que and asked this question.

Xu Que spread out his hands and said, “I’d originally thought that the great tribulation would not really be terrible, as long as we could set up a Divine Formation and gather all the Sons of Light. The Heaven Palace Sect would then be able to control and rule the Heaven Continent as it had done before. But I absolutely didn’t realize that the Heaven Palace Sect would actually be so poor that it only had this small amount of Spirit Stones. How is it going to be possible for me to set up a frigging Divine Formation… How about, Dean, why don’t we organize a migration and move to another mountain to avoid the great tribulation?”

“You…you’re crazy.” Wang Chi was suddenly so furious that his eyes popped out as he said angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? My Heaven Palace Sect’s reserves are vast. What do you mean, how can we only have this amount of Spirit Stones? It’s just that I don’t know how many Spirit Stones you need, so I only took out a portion of what I have in store to give to you.”

“Slayer Lord, you must state clearly how many Spirit Stones you need to set up a Divine Formation.” One of the Elders explained to Xu Que.

“To set up a Divine Formation, it will require at least 1 million Celestial Spirit Stones.” Xu Que pretended to do a calculation.

However, when Wang Chi and many of the Elders heard what he’d said, they looked relieved. They didn’t seem to be in the least concerned as they smiled contentedly.

“F*ck!

“I gave them too low a number!”

Xu Que’s eyelids immediately twitched and he hurriedly added, “This amount will only be able to piece together three kinds of light to create a minor Divine Formation. But as I also said before three kinds of light are not really strong enough and won’t be very effective. And also perhaps they won’t be enough to stop the great tribulation. I think the Heaven Palace Sect should at least have six kinds of light. A Divine Formation with six kinds of light will require at least 100 million Celestial Spirit Stones.”

CRACK!

Instantly, a jade slip in an Elder’s hand fell directly onto the ground.

Not only he, but also everyone else, looked stupefied and horror-struck.

“100 million Celestial Spirit Stones?”

“F*ck, even if they were to clean out all the storage rings of the entire Heaven Palace Sect, they couldn’t take out this amount!”

“Ah! I made the wrong calculations. 100 million Celestial Spirit Stones are for nine kinds of light. Six kinds of light only require 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones.” Xu Que had observed everyone’s faces and immediately changed his calculations when he’d realized he’d gone way over the mark.

Sure enough, when they heard 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones, the expressions of Wang Chi and all the other Elders relaxed somewhat, although they still were frowning.

“10 million middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones are still an enormous sum.”

“Even though the Heaven Palace Sect has been operating for so many years, and has been eliminating all kinds of expenses, it still only has a reserve of 30 million Celestial Spirit Stones. It was still a heavy loss to have to spend one-third of their reserves all of a sudden and in one transaction.”

“Slayer Lord, are you certain the Divine Formation will really be able to find five Sons of White Light in addition to you? And are you certain that we really can’t stop this great tribulation with our own strength?” Wang Chi looked grimly at Xu Que, as he asked in a deep voice.

He was still hesitating as it seemed very dangerous to take out one-third of their reserves to deal with this sudden arrival of the so-called great tribulation. He felt that something was amiss.

“Dean, this great tribulation is not to be underestimated. You already saw it for yourself just now, and the next minor tribulation is coming soon. We don’t have much time,” Xu Que said anxiously.

“The next minor tribulation? When is it coming?” Wang Chi asked, surprised.

“No more than one hour,” Xu Que said.

“What…?” Wang Chi and the others suddenly looked at one another in dismay.

Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was witnessing everything from a distance, still appeared to be ice-cold. However, on the inside, she was completely flabbergasted.

She had realized that Xu Que was going to cause a lot of trouble, and she had wanted to watch him at work.

She’d been able to watch without any sympathy as Xu Que was fleecing these people. They were her enemies and she had sworn to herself that she would exact revenge on them. But she was still astonished at how easily they had been duped by Xu Que.

“Wait a minute, something’s not right. Don’t tell me he’s also fooled me by claiming to be my cultivation companion? Maybe even telling me that this world is fake was a lie? Did he do that also to deceive me? But…the memory pearl…” Xuanyuan Wanrong didn’t know what to believe. Xu Que was so good at deceiving people it was difficult to believe a word that he said.

At the exact same time, on a mountain peak in the far distance, Buttface and Duan Qide were also witnessing this scene of Xu Que’s deception.

Buttface swore, “F*ck!”

Duan Qide said, “Have we also been fooled in this way?”

Buttface was suddenly startled and he said, “What? What are you talking about? What have we been fooled about?”

Duan Qide, “…..”
