To be precise, after Li Tianlan suddenly lost his strength, whether it was Zhongzhou, the East Palace, or all the allies of the East Palace headed by the Lin clan, they were now facing the worst possible situation.
The idea of taking a step back temporarily is simply unrealistic, and this applies to everyone.
Shengshi Fund is currently expanding crazily in Europe. After the alliance operation, as Li Tianlan's personal combat power rose to the top, Han Donglou's actions became extremely radical and heroic.
Now in Europe, it is no longer a matter of penetrating a certain field or controlling a certain field. Instead, it is based on the foundation of a wealthy family and expanding in countless fields at the same time. All the resources driven by various expansions have been spent, and there is nothing at all.
retreat.
Because like most people in the dark world, Han Donglou never thought that Li Tianlan would lose, let alone that Li Tianlan would lose his strength.
Under such circumstances, if Shengshi Fund withdraws from Europe, the losses will be completely unimaginable. First of all, it is suppressed at this time. The hostile giants headed by Rothschild will begin to backlash, and Shengshi Fund's own allies will also be shaken.
Swinging, similar to the holy realm, does not even need to consider the position. The combined strength of this series of forces will bring back the energy. Han Donglou dare not think about it. Taking a step back at this time, it is no longer about whether he can use his whole body.
The most likely problem with retirement is that most of the assets of Shengshi Fund will be completely divided up by others.
Overtly and secretly, Shengshi Fund is a giant. The larger the size, the more tragic the collapse will be. And what they originally wanted to hide will inevitably be exposed under such a collapse.
interests of others.
The final result is that the years of hard work of the Reincarnation Palace have been wasted, the Shengshi Fund has completely collapsed, the Eastern Palace has no huge financial source, all plans are completely lagging behind, and the development of Tiannan will encounter unprecedented difficulties, and the huge pressure is directly passed on to
With Zhongzhou, Annan could even find an opportunity to do something else.
Similarly, without the Shengshi Fund, it would be difficult to maintain this momentum within the Eastern Palace. The Lin family's current persistence in Europe has become a joke, and as for the dynasty, it is even more nonsense.
This is how a single move affects the whole body.
Shengshi Fund has no room to retreat and can only resist and support the situation at all costs.
The Lin tribe also has no way to retreat.
During this period, they have supported the Eastern Palace to become a new dynasty. It can be said that they have completely offended the Continental Alliance. At this time, they want to retreat, but they can't even find the direction. The Continental Alliance is not temperamental and can't bear it.
After such a long time, it is absolutely impossible to allow the Lin Clan to pretend to be cool and run away, unless the Lin Clan voluntarily gives up most of its branches except the headquarters. Without these branches, the Lin Clan cannot be called the Lin Clan.
There is no need to say more about Zhongzhou.
Gu Xingyun was replaced by Li Tianlan.
Kunlun City was destroyed and the Eastern Palace expanded.
Li Tianlan's current shortage of people was suddenly exposed.
nobody!
There are no available manpower.
Strictly speaking, after the collapse of Kunlun City, Li Tianlan had a lot of people he could use. Although it was inconvenient to mobilize the manpower in the East Palace, there were still some veterans of the Li family in Zhongzhou, as well as Shushan, Yaochi, and Shadow Sect.
Wait for the force to be used.
But the problem is that Middle-earth is too big.
In such a huge territory, if you want to spread the special warfare system nodes to the entire Central Continent, these people are really too reluctant at present. To be precise, there are not enough.
It can't even spread the power of the special warfare system to the overall situation, let alone assemble a unified force at critical moments.
If Li Tianlan was still in his prime, even if he was seriously injured, this problem would not be a big problem, because the impression Li Tianlan left on the dark world has long been ingrained.
But now everything is different.
Li Tianlan has lost his strength, the special warfare system has lost its manpower, and its comprehensive strength is seriously insufficient. Now the overlord of Zhongzhou is facing the counterattack of the entire dark world.
After Li Tianlan no longer has martial arts, how long it will take for Li Tianlan to reach his original height on the new path has become the most important question.
Even after Jiang Shangyu gained his strength, it was not enough for Li Tianlan to reach his original height. He still needed to take another step at his original height.
Li Tianlan also knew that he had become the key, but at least on the surface, he did not show any panic or irritation.
After returning to Sanyi Hutong, he looked at Huangfu Qiushui, who came over immediately and was worried. He didn't comfort him. He just had lunch calmly. After lunch, he didn't say much. He just said that he needed time.
No matter what happens for a few days, don't disturb him.
"I understand."
Huangfu Qiushui sat opposite Li Tianlan and nodded seriously: "The defense forces here have been re-arranged. I have just contacted the parliament and the Ministry of Finance. Minister Dongcheng will also send some elites over. In terms of security, there will not be many problems in a short time."
Da, it’s you..."
As she spoke, she paused for a moment before speaking.
"my question..."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and said calmly: "The problem is big, but it can also be said to be very small. It's hard to say. It takes time. This period of time... is very critical."
Li Tianlan had a hunch that he had already stood at the most critical node. Without martial arts and a new road, he faced a completely different scenery.
The problem he is facing now is very complex, but it is also very simple. To say that there is no such thing as helplessness and despair, he can definitely feel the new path, certain theories, and the core that actually supports the new path.
The scenery ahead and even at the end are all clearly visible.
The only thing that bothers him is complexity.
Absolutely complex.
This is a completely different path from martial arts, and it's not so clear-cut.
Martial arts is the most intuitive way to improve. Strength and speed can be improved a little bit. Although every threshold in martial arts can also kill people, this level of difficulty is almost no difficulty for Li Tianlan.
But the new path is completely different.
If the difficulty of martial arts is zero, the difficulty of the new path is one hundred, there is no comparison at all.
Many things on this path are now clearly placed in front of Li Tianlan, and they are not questions, but answers directly placed in front of him.
But there are some things, even if there are answers, it still takes time to understand and explore.
What Li Tianlan needs is this kind of exploration.
Humans created numbers, one, two, three, four, five...
The birth of numbers began with addition and subtraction, then multiplication and division, equations, all the way to functions, calculus, and various conjectures, from simple to difficult, all the way to the end.
But no matter how it changes, one, two, three, four, five, the numbers are the real foundation.
For Li Tianlan, the new path is a strange yet extremely familiar mathematical problem. He has already stood at the final point of all mathematical knowledge, and the answer has been broken down into the most simple and easy-to-understand explanations.
What Li Tianlan wants to do is to reverse the structure of this question from the split answers, push back bit by bit, and finally turn these answers into the most basic one, two, three, four.
That is to find the source.
The foundation that supports the new path.
This is not an easy task in the first place, not to mention that the difficulty of this question seems a bit unbelievable. All Li Tianlan can say now is that he is very familiar with this question, very, very familiar with it.
But when the idea strikes and you completely figure it out, it may only take a second, or it may take a year, or even a lifetime.
"Anyway..."
Li Tianlan chuckled and said: "Now that the problem is like this, it is completely meaningless to consider other things. Now all kinds of situations are dilemmas for me. This time, I can only rely on myself to break the situation.
Xiao Qiushui, you have not been with me for a long time, but I trust you. Whether I can have a safe environment in the next few days depends entirely on you.
You don’t need to worry about eating, drinking, these things. I only have one request, no matter what happens, don’t disturb me, can you do that?”
Huangfu Qiushui straightened his body and looked at Li Tianlan, his eyes full of energy.
She nodded vigorously: "I will try my best."
Li Tianlan laughed and said nothing. He turned his head and looked at Xuanyuan Wushang who walked in silently.
Xuanyuan Wushang was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other for about ten seconds. The fat man, who had always had no sense of presence but could not be ignored, grinned and showed a very honest and honest smile.
"Ah, fat man..."
Li Tianlan looked at him: "If you didn't show up, I would have almost forgotten you."
"I know, so I rushed over as soon as possible, just because I was afraid that my eldest brother would really forget about me.
Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable? I am a doctor, you understand me."
"No."
Li Tianlan blinked: "However, my martial arts strength was lost in Annan. Well, accidentally... I lost it by accident. It is difficult for others to understand this matter, but if it is you,
, you should understand, even better than me, so you have seen the current situation, is there anything you want to tell me?"
His voice was very determined.
At this time, it is unusual for Xuanyuan Wushang, who has been invisible most of the time, to appear here. He must be planning to say something.
"There's not much I can tell my brother."
Xuanyuan Wushang scratched his head: "But... in the long run, this matter is not a bad thing."
Li Tianlan looked at him for a while, then slowly said: "Is this the kind of nonsense you want to say?"
He was a little disappointed.
"All I can say is a reminder."
Xuanyuan Wushang sighed: "I know what you are thinking now and the problems you will face. Regarding this aspect, what I can say is very limited. I can only say that what you are thinking now, brother, is right.
Incorrect."
"Um?"
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.
"Although the timing is not right now, it is indeed not a bad thing to put down martial arts temporarily, because brother, it is best if you have one less thing to face."
Xuanyuan Wushang looked at him: "Different paths can be regarded as different mathematical problems. Martial arts is also a problem, which is relatively simple, but the new path is countless times more difficult. If eldest brother wants to solve the problem now, first of all
You have to know what you are facing.”
"I know."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
"You only know part of it, or half of it?"
Xuanyuan Wushang smiled: "Brother, do you think that the difficult problem is now in front of you? With the answer, you only need to deduce the most basic theoretical concepts. But what I want to say is that the answer is now in front of you.
, may not be correct.”
"What's wrong?"
Li Tianlan frowned.
"Since it is the answer, it cannot be wrong, it can only be wrong."
Xuanyuan Wushang looked at Li Tianlan tentatively, with caution in his voice: "The problem you have to solve now, the path you have to take... there are two... two difficult problems... Brother, you should choose the right one.
The answer will do."
Li Tianlan's body stiffened for a moment.
Two questions.
Two roads!
In an instant, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind.
