"Therefore, you see, if this matter is handled this way, the effect will be the same, and it will save a lot of bloody conflicts."
"The effect is not the same... Forget it, you can decide for yourself."
At this moment, Wen Yu really wanted to say, "Lin Haifeng, you've softened up..." But halfway through his words, he swallowed them back down.
Doing things resolutely sounds easy, but some matters indeed challenge human conscience and the beliefs and bottom lines one has always upheld.
"Then it's settled. Have the Cloud Puppet come find me, and once it arrives, the plan will immediately commence! This time, no matter what, I will make the celestial god feel disgusted!"
Lin Haifeng made his bold declaration, while Wen Yu on the other side was the first to hang up the communication. This left Lin Haifeng feeling a bit awkward. He put down the communicator and glanced at Victor, who was still snoring, and after a while, he finally sat down beside Victor and tugged at his tail.
"Meow~~~"
Victor immediately bared his teeth and opened his "blood basin mouth" wide towards Lin Haifeng.
"What’s the matter? Want to have a free meal from me?"
Victor shot Lin Haifeng a glance, and then his body suddenly vanished.
He left.
...
It was not until about half an hour after Victor disappeared that Lin Haifeng finally got up from the sofa. He looked around the spacious office, and ultimately let out a sigh.
Then, he walked to the office desk, picked up the communicator, and dialed another number.
"This is Fran."
"Fran... There’s been a bit of trouble on Earth. Bring your people back first, and by the way, move everything that can be relocated from Beijing to the Layered Battlefield."
"Uh... Are we giving up on Beijing?"
Fran was well aware of the disputes between the celestial god and Beijing. Upon hearing Lin Haifeng's decision, he immediately understood that the situation seemed to have developed unfavorably for Beijing.
"Yes, that kid... is being too ruthless..."
Lin Haifeng's tone was filled with an inexplicable flavor. After finishing his lament, he spoke again.
"And, there are no others around you, right?"
"Just me."
"Then I’d like to ask you for a favor."
"Go ahead."
"It's like this..."
...
Wen Yu and Lin Haifeng’s actions were swift. After the plan was discussed, Wen Yu immediately sent a message to the Cloud Puppet, which returned to the Layered Battlefield from the Eternal Sky City.
Since Tang Haofei woke up over a decade ago, the Cloud Puppet had remained stationed at the Eternal Sky City. After Tang Haofei was awakened, Wen Yu felt that it was better for the ultimate weapon of the Eternal Sky City to remain under his control, so he ordered the Cloud Puppet to secretly seize the main control of the Eternal Sky City, essentially turning it into a soul puppet.
However, over the years, the Cloud Puppet had been engaged in a battle of wits against the researchers left in the Eternal Sky City by Lin Haifeng, and had only managed to secure about half of the control rights of the Eternal Sky City.
But it didn’t matter... Before this order was given, Wen Yu had not acquired the Layered Battlefield, and after obtaining it, the strategic value of the Eternal Sky City, which could only remain on Earth, seemed to diminish.
Moreover, considering that Earth no longer held much significance for Wen Yu, coupled with the fact that he was aware of the celestial god possessing the soul creation technique, he ultimately abandoned the already half-controlled Eternal Sky City as the Cloud Puppet withdrew.
Wen Yu's main force still lay in the Layered Battlefield, and Lin Haifeng intended to transfer the foundations of Beijing to the Layered Battlefield, which was also something Wen Yu needed to do.
The reasoning was the same as Lin Haifeng's.
Back to the main topic, after the Cloud Puppet was recalled, it did not linger long in the Main City of the Layered Battlefield. After receiving a message from the Mountain Puppet, the Cloud Puppet immediately rushed to the front line, merging with the Corpse Puppet, and after some discussion with Lin Haifeng, the plan was set to start the next day.
