Chapter 834: Convergence and Liberation

Sai Bayar spoke without hesitation, "Yes, I am inclined towards Norland, but Norland is far enough from us that we can borrow their strength without them being able to control us entirely. This way, we have enough autonomy and aren't constrained by them in every aspect."

"Moreover, to ensure we fight against Daxun, Norland will undoubtedly support us without reservation. This gives us more opportunities to develop our own technology and industries."

Chen Chuan paused, thinking about the current situation. In preparation for the Great Collision, major powers were concentrating their resources as much as possible. However, this had led to a certain level of competition among the great powers. To avoid falling behind or allowing other countries to become too powerful, these powers were tripping each other up. As a result, the smaller nations caught in the middle became sacrificial victims.

These smaller countries were in a difficult position, having to provide various resources to the major powers while also being pushed to the forefront as pawns.

Sai Bayar continued, "Hmm, now that I think about it, I'm sure 'Zhen Guan' already knows that I've returned. So, I've been lying low, waiting for the right opportunity. This time, you've won."

Zhen Guan was the martial artist from Balkutu Central City.

Chen Chuan had a different opinion about this.

Daxun's overseas intelligence department didn't know that Zhen Guan had returned, and the person in Balkutu couldn't have known either. Even if they did know, they would have definitely informed Chen Chuan beforehand and wouldn't have intentionally kept it from him.

Given that they weren't sure about his strength, they wouldn't dare to let him face two martial artists alone. If something went wrong, Daxun would definitely hold them accountable.

Suddenly, Sai Bayar spoke again, "Do you know why Tamur was willing to die by my hand?" Before Chen Chuan could ask, Sai Bayar continued, "It's because of the Convergence of Three Aspects."

"In our Besa Khanate's 'Book of Universal Benevolence,' the Heaven Establisher becomes the Liberator, and the Liberator then transforms into three aspects—the Great Bodhimanda King, the Moli King, and Vira Devi."

"When we three each cultivate one of these aspects, and when the three aspects converge, we can achieve the Liberator, greatly enhancing our original power. This time, if I obtain Tamur's power, I can return and ask Zhen Guan to give up his power. Then, Besa Khanate will no longer be a small country."

Chen Chuan now understood. He couldn't say for sure if the convergence of the three aspects would lead to a higher level, but transcending their current level was possible.

Martial artists also had varying strengths, and a powerful martial artist could indeed have a certain degree of influence. It might even lead to the expansion of a country's territory.

As for the unification of the three aspects, it required the sacrifice of two people. Undoubtedly, all three of them had such thoughts, and this time, an opportunity had presented itself.

He looked at the person on the ground, "This should be your secret. Why are you telling me?"

Sai Bayar said, "We are the losers in this game. Zhen Guan will definitely take our power to empower himself. So, what will you choose to do? Kill us or take us back with you?"

Chen Chuan understood. No wonder the other party was willing to tell him these things. If he directly killed two people, it would create negative public opinion for Daxun and give other countries an opportunity to interfere.

If he didn't kill them, in the end, Zhen Guan might benefit. And if that happened, with sufficient power, would he still listen to the Daxun government?

But ultimately, Sai Bayar didn't want to die. He didn't want to be taken back, so he told Chen Chuan these things.

"I won't kill you or leave you here. I'll take you to Balkutu. I've done what I should, and the rest is for you Besa people to handle."

Sai Bayar was startled and seemed resistant. "I thought you'd consider Daxun's interests. You wouldn't do this."

Chen Chuan said, "There's no need."

Sai Bayar seemed to understand. "You think that even with the convergence of the three aspects, Daxun still has enough power to suppress us? You're underestimating the power of the three aspects. Moreover, once power reaches a certain level, it's not just about brute force suppression. It also requires the respect it deserves. I dare say, once Zhen Guan gains power, he won't respect you as much as before. He'll attract more countries to his side."

Chen Chuan said, "According to what you're saying, isn't that beneficial for your country?"

Sai Bayar fell silent.

Chen Chuan continued, "I don't know what level you'll reach after the convergence of your powers, but I know that if such power appears, it must be matched by a supply of resources.

As far as I know, Besa Khanate is already struggling to support one or two martial artists. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to go abroad. After the unification of the three aspects, the required resources will be even greater, which Besa Khanate can't afford. Ultimately, you'll have to seek help from the outside. And since Besa Khanate is right next to Daxun, the cost of supporting you is far less than that of other countries. So, I believe that even when the time comes, the situation won't change too drastically."

Sai Bayar's face slightly changed, and he fell silent.

Chen Chuan looked up at the sky. Under the oppression of the Great Collision, a large number of martial artists emerged, and the whole world began to consolidate to support these combat powers. As a result, we can see the emergence of major powers and regional forces.

As for Besa Khanate, a small country, it merely exists as a buffer between the cracks of major powers. The martial artists they can support are inevitably few, and their level can't be too high. If they are strong, they still need the support of major powers for resources. No matter how they struggle, it's futile.

He turned and walked outside, circled around, and found a fully fueled off-road vehicle below. He returned and brought the two people down, placing them in the vehicle, and drove back.

After more than two hours, the strong winds gradually subsided. He reunited with Chao Ming, who guided him to the driver who was rushing over. The driver was delighted to learn that he had completed his task. He efficiently took out a radio and sent a message to the rear before accompanying him back.

The next day, as dawn approached, Chen Chuan saw the glow from the inner ring of Balkutu.

It was like a giant fire plate resting on a high mountain, and the scattered buildings around it emitted a sparkling light, appearing very prosperous. It was far beyond the comparison of any other place in Besa Khanate.

At that moment, a hot air balloon emitting colorful smoke, which he had seen before, flew out of the city and approached them. As it drew closer, it slowly descended.

Chen Chuan stopped his vehicle accordingly.

After the hot air balloon stabilized, a man wearing the traditional robe of Besa Khanate descended from it. It was Zhen Guan, the master revered as a deity in Balkutu Central City.

This scholarly-looking man had well-maintained skin, appearing to be in his thirties based on his appearance alone. He didn't look like a fighter at all but rather a religious scholar immersed in scriptures.

He performed an Outer Zen Ritual towards Chen Chuan and spoke in a gentle Great Shunese, "Mr. Chen, I am honored to invite you to Balkutu Palace as a guest for resolving this difficult matter."

Chen Chuan replied, "There's no need. I've already obtained the item the nation entrusted me with. I need to return it as soon as possible. The person is from your Besa Khanate, and I've handed him over to you. Master Zhen Guan, you can handle it yourself."

Zhen Guan glanced at the two of them and bowed respectfully to Chen Chuan, "Thank you for your mercy, Mr. Chen."

At this moment, Sai Bayar spoke in a cold, mocking tone, "Zhen Guan, there's no need to put on such a show. All three of us have sworn an oath. Whoever defeats the other two will have the right to absorb their power and become Liberator One. You've won, even if you did so with the help of Daxun. But we in Besa Khanate value both strength and wisdom. Since you are the winner, it's only right for you to take on this responsibility."

"What if I seek to become Liberator One? What then?"

Zhen Guan sighed.

"That would only increase the burden on Besa Khanate. Our Fusion Land can barely support one person, and the other can only manage to get by. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have to look for other ways."

He turned to Chen Chuan, "Mr. Chen, I've taken advantage of the situation, but I'm saying this. Does it make me seem hypocritical to Mr. Chen? However, I also know that even with my strength, I can't change the order of the nation from top to bottom. To change, we must first destroy, and destruction is easy, but rebuilding is difficult.

How can a Bleeding Weak Beast hope to withstand the covetousness of tigers and wolves?

Besa Khanate can only lean on a powerful nation, seeking a shelter from wind and rain, and perhaps we can prolong our existence for a few more years. Beyond that, we dare not think."

Chen Chuan understood this as his stance, whether it was genuine or not. In any case, the higher-ups would consider these matters. He said, "I will report your stance to the upper management."

Zhen Guan said, "Then I won't delay Mr. Chen any further. I'll have someone send you off, and since you came to our country, I haven't been a good host. It's impolite of me, so I've prepared some gifts as a token of my apology. I hope Mr. Chen won't refuse."

Chen Chuan didn't decline. After handing over the person to Zhen Guan, he called out to Chao Ming, who was flying in the sky, and they quickly left the place together in the driver's vehicle.

Zhen Guan watched him leave with a respectful bow, remaining in that posture for a long time.

Sai Bayar sarcastically said from behind, "Zhen Guan, there's no need to put on such a show. The person is already far away."

Zhen Guan didn't explain. He walked back and untied the restraints on himself and Tamur.

Sai Bayar was surprised. He hesitated and said, "You... you don't intend to..."

Zhen Guan took a few steps back and looked down, saying, "With you outside, Daxun will support me."

Sai Bayar was taken aback. He scoffed, "You're straightforward." He thought for a moment, "Zhen Guan, what you said to that person had some reason, but you don't have to worry about those things. Acquiring cultivation resources isn't impossible. I know of one..."

Zhen Guan sighed, "Have you had contact with them?"

Sai Bayar said, "They approached me. They're willing to provide resources first, so why wouldn't I accept? The Great Collision can come at any time, who knows what will happen then?"

Zhen Guan said, "Whether it's Daxun or Norland, they're not something we can easily manipulate or deceive. Do you think we can't manage without me?

Over the past few decades, Daxun has taken many people from us for cultivation. If we make too drastic a move, they'll replace us."

Sai Bayar was shocked. His expression changed several times, and he said with some reluctance, "So we can't do anything? We can't change anything?"

Zhen Guan said, "Besa Khanate has tried in the past, but even if we gained some advantage during Eastern Land's decline, what's the point? We returned it anyway. If it's not meant for us, there's no use thinking about it, unless...

If there's a Great Change in Heaven and Earth, there might be a chance, but by then, who knows how things will turn out?"
