Chapter 2373 Decision-Making

"Fang Heng, wait!"
As Fang Heng was leaving the council hall to check on the situation with Starfish Company, he sensed Li Qingran approaching from behind and stopped. "Senior Qingran."
"Fang Heng, please don't take it the wrong way. Mr. Shi didn't mean it that way. The situation is critical, and we need more intelligence to make a decision."
"It's okay, I understand."
Fang Heng truly understood Shi Lipeng's position. As for feeling any animosity toward him, he couldn't really say he did.
Putting himself in Shi Lipeng's shoes, if someone suddenly appeared and demanded that a plan developed over half a month be halted to follow his own approach because he could deal with the Holy Court...
Fang Heng himself wouldn't easily believe it either; merely not chasing him away was already quite polite.
Li Qingran looked at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, the undead faction involves too many variables and resources that can't be easily mobilized. But I'm different. What do you need right now? I'll help with whatever I can."
Having gone through so much, Li Qingran had a high level of trust in Fang Heng.
Fang Heng thought for a moment.
That could work too.
Having Li Qingran's help would be sufficient.
"Alright, thank you. First, I need to understand the situation on the front lines between the undead and the Holy Court."
"Sure, let's discuss it as we walk."
Li Qingran led Fang Heng to a side room, providing an overview of the current battle situation along the way.
Both sides were somewhat restrained; the high-tier worlds had not truly engaged in direct conflict. Instead, the mid-tier worlds had become the real battlegrounds, with both sides locked in a grueling back-and-forth.
The undead faction focused on three high-tier worlds as their core, continuously pouring vast amounts of low-tier troops into the mid-tier and low-tier worlds. Meanwhile, the Holy Court used seven high-tier worlds as starting points to perform "Descent," directly transporting high-end combat forces into the mid-tier game worlds.
Due to their numerical advantage, the undead employed a strategy of scattered harassment, aiming to avoid direct confrontation.
Fang Heng listened to Li Qingran's analysis and lightly stroked his chin.
"So, you're saying the Holy Court has a special ability to directly descend from higher-tier game worlds, right?"
"Yes, this ability is quite troublesome for us. The judges from the Holy Court who join the battlefield through Descent are at the pinnacle of high-tier game worlds. Once they enter the front lines, it can dramatically alter the entire battle."
Li Qingran sighed and shook her head. "Several times, battles that should have been won were lost due to the Holy Court suddenly descending onto the battlefield, resulting in a complete rout and giving the Holy Court a significant advantage."
When the topic of the 'Descent' ability came up, Fang Heng's mind was immediately drawn to the pursuing forces from the holy realm. They were also using the Descent method to hunt him down.
"Why did the Holy Court choose these seven high-tier game worlds? Is there any particular reason?"
"That's not entirely clear. As far as we know, these high-tier worlds are largely under the influence of the Holy Court's faith. The Holy Court has established large-scale Descent ritual temples in these worlds, and the interaction between the seven worlds' ritual temples has achieved the most effective Descent results."
Li Qingran thought for a moment and continued, "Currently, most of the Holy Court's judges involved in the battles have come from these seven high-tier game worlds."
Fang Heng looked up and asked, "So if we could find a way to destroy one of these worlds, would it disrupt the Holy Court's Descent ability?"
Destroying the ritual temples in the high-tier worlds?
Li Qingran was slightly taken aback by Fang Heng's direct approach to destruction and disruption. After thinking carefully, she responded, "Well, based on my deduction, it might not completely destroy the Descent, but it could certainly affect the duration and success rate of the Descent."
"Hmm..."
Fang Heng nodded.
It was close to what he had guessed.
If he could break the Descent anchor points in these seven high-tier worlds, it might also impact the Holy Realm's tracking of him.
It was worth a try!
If the dimensional worlds were compared to game worlds—low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier—in terms of absorption time using the dimensional core, it would roughly take 5 minutes to absorb a low-tier world and 9 minutes for a mid-tier world.
The rate of absorption of dimensional energy by the dimensional core follows an accelerating curve, getting faster as the absorption progresses.
He hadn't tested how long it would take to absorb a high-tier world.
Initially, Fang Heng had planned to absorb several mid-tier worlds of the Holy Court. However, after hearing Li Qingran's explanation, he had a new idea.
Since he was already here, if he wanted to inflict the maximum damage to the Holy Court...
Why not target a high-tier world?
He chuckled to himself.
If he was going to play, he might as well go all out!
Li Qingran watched as Fang Heng fell into deep thought again. She waited at the side and did not disturb him.
She seemed accustomed to this.
Most of the time, before Fang Heng came up with a devious plan, he would think things through like this.
Of course, there were also times when he would come up with a sudden, brilliant idea and act on it immediately.
Fang Heng suddenly looked up and asked, "Senior, is there any way you can help me temporarily enter one of those seven high-tier worlds?"
"Infiltration, you mean?"
Li Qingran's heart raced as she asked, "Do you have a specific plan in mind?"
"Yes, I want to try and completely destroy one of them. Can you help me analyze which world might be the easiest to target?"
Li Qingran looked at Fang Heng, momentarily speechless.
Not to mention that Fang Heng was currently being hunted by the Holy Realm, even under normal circumstances, destroying a high-tier world controlled by the Holy Court was no simple task!
Even their entire undead faction alliance had never considered such a bold plan.
Their operations over the past half-month were only targeting a mid-tier world controlled by the Holy Court, and perhaps two Grand Arbitrators from a high-tier world at most.
Fang Heng, however, was aiming straight at high-tier worlds from the start.
Fortunately, Fang Heng had not revealed his plan in the council hall, or the situation might have been even harder to control.
"Alright," Fang Heng said, nodding. "Can you help me?"
Li Qingran took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts.
She had a strong intuition that since Fang Heng proposed this, it meant he could make it happen. She was at least 70% confident in his success!
"Alright, let me think this through," Li Qingran said, her mind already working on the details. "Out of the seven high-tier worlds, two are firmly under the Holy Court's control and are definitely inaccessible for infiltration. The other five worlds have varying degrees of influence from the Holy Court, so we can focus on them. I'll find a way to proceed and get back to you with the information."
"Good! I'm on a tight schedule, so the sooner, the better."
Hearing Li Qingran's affirmative response, Fang Heng felt a great sense of relief. He had worked with Li Qingran before, and she was known for her reliable and steady approach. Whenever she committed to something, it was always executed without issues.
