I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Although he now had leverage over Mu Wang, Su Ze didn’t immediately use it to threaten him.

He planned to let Mu Wang stew for a while...

Since Mu Wang was running out of time, Su Ze would let him feel the terror of its passage all the more keenly.

Before leaving Dongli, Chen Suifeng came to see Su Ze one more time.

His communication with the Dongli Saint Envoy had gone smoothly. After Chen Suifeng explained the whole situation and presented Mr. Ke’s handwritten letter, the Dongli Saint Envoy, though shocked, believed his words.

This was why Chen Suifeng had gone to Mr. Ke first to get his support. With Mr. Ke’s prestige, his words were as good as proof. Seeing Mr. Ke’s handwritten letter was enough for the Dongli Saint Envoy to believe something as incredible as an alien invasion.

After the initial shock wore off, the Dongli Saint Envoy didn’t hesitate. He immediately expressed his willingness to join the Blue Star Party and do his part to resist the aliens.

”For now, Mr. Ke’s mission for Saint Envoy Lian Yongchang is to remain in Dongli and protect it. As a powerful expert who came from Dongli, I’m sure he’ll be completely dedicated to this task,” Chen Suifeng said.

This was the first Su Ze was hearing that the Dongli Saint Envoy’s name was ”Lian Yongchang.”

He nodded. This was good news. From now on, the Dongli Saint Envoy could be considered a trusted ally.

He then told Chen Suifeng about Mu Wang’s consciousness reawakening and also asked for his help in finding the materials Mu Wang needed.

Much of the information from Mu Wang wasn’t just useful to Su Ze; it was crucial for all of humanity on Blue Star. Therefore, Su Ze naturally couldn’t bear the burden alone. He had to mobilize the power of the Blue Star Party.

Upon hearing this, Chen Suifeng offered a reminder, ”You still have to be vigilant with Alien Divine Spirits like him, whose schemes are endless. As for the materials you’re looking for, I’ll use my network and do everything I can to find them.”

Su Ze nodded quickly. ”Okay. If I get any valuable information out of him, I’ll find a way to tell you immediately.”

Chen Suifeng thought for a moment, then said, ”Regarding Mu Wang’s consciousness reawakening, I think it would be best for you to make a trip to Miracle Oasis. Ask that great tree and see if there are any hidden dangers. Don’t you have a good relationship with her?”

”I was thinking the same thing.” Su Ze was also planning to have the Mother Tree examine the remnant soul’s condition in the Soul Nourishing Jade Stone to verify if his suspicions were correct.

He could also ask the Mother Tree and the Oasis Commerce Association if they could get their hands on the materials Mu Wang wanted.

Chen Suifeng hesitated for a moment before adding, ”When you have the chance, sound out that great tree’s opinion. If a war breaks out within the Lin Hua Continent, see if she’d be willing to accept some civilians into Miracle Oasis for refuge.”

”It would be best if you could move your Dongli headquarters there. That way, as long as no god-level experts make a move, you can all rest easy.”

’Miracle Oasis is indeed an excellent location,’ Su Ze thought. ’With the Mother Tree’s protection, even a legendary-level expert would have a hard time if they entered the Oasis.’

Besides, Miracle Oasis already bordered Dongli, so moving there would be convenient. But...

”Has the situation really gotten that serious?” Su Ze asked.

The way Chen Suifeng spoke made it sound as if war could break out at any moment.

Chen Suifeng didn’t deny it. ”In short, the outlook isn’t optimistic. The Blue Star Party and the Alien Party have had numerous disagreements over the matter of the Peninsula Country’s integration into the Lin Hua Country. The conflicts are escalating, and we might have to play the Ancient An Country card ahead of schedule to divert attention and buy more time.”

”This beast tide appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just as bizarrely. The Alien Party originally wanted to use the beast tide to pressure the six nations, forcing them to merge into the Lin Hua Country. They didn’t expect the tide to recede so quickly, but even so, it still forced the entire Peninsula Country to migrate.”

”Originally, our two sides were like a pair of bulls locking horns. For a time, neither could get the upper hand, which left the uninformed neutral parties hesitant, unsure of which side to take. This was how the balance of power was maintained.”

”But the Peninsula Country’s compromise created an opening. The Alien Party scored the first point in this confrontation, giving them the upper hand in terms of momentum. This has also made the neutral parties lean toward siding with them, leaving the Blue Star Party in a weaker position.”

”And once that balance is broken, the Alien Party is bound to press their advantage, seeking to completely suppress us and seize control of the narrative. We, of course, are not willing to just let the decision-making power for the entire Lin Hua Continent fall into their hands. If it really comes to that, we’ll have no choice but to flip the table.”

’Flipping the table means going to war with the aliens,’ Su Ze understood.

’So, it’s right for Dongli to prepare for war ahead of time. It’s bound to come, sooner or later.’

Su Ze thought for a moment and said, ”There are too many variables to start a war right now, and the situation is very unclear. Then there’s the Filth Earth Organization. We don’t know what their stance is. Will they help us fight the aliens, or help the aliens fight us? Or will they help neither and just watch from the sidelines as the tigers fight?”

”Also, a new king has been born among the beasts. That’s another urgent matter that needs to be dealt with. What’s the Alien Party’s attitude on that?”

The Dongli Saint Envoy had already reported the matter of the New King Sponge to the Lin Hua Country. From the perspective of Blue Star’s humans, the most urgent task was definitely to eliminate the Sponge Beast before it could fully evolve into a god.

And that would require more than one legendary-level expert working together.

Chen Suifeng said, ”Even if the Filth Earth Organization doesn’t help us, it’s highly unlikely they’ll help the aliens. After all, even though they betrayed the human race, they were ultimately still born on Blue Star. Besides, the Alien Party has shown very clear hostility toward them, so helping the aliens would do them no good.”
