Beauty and the Bodyguard

"not him."

Gu Jiumu said quietly: "In this matter, he is the party being monitored just like us."

"It seems like the fruit here is really deep."

Lin Yi was not too surprised by this, and asked: "In this land of God, the Supreme Board of Directors apparently covers the sky with one hand, but that doesn't seem to be the case?"

In fact, he already had this question from the moment the giant's permission list appeared.

After all, the things on the list don't look like they were crowdfunded by the various giants, and logically, they don't make sense at all.

Gu Jiumu didn't answer but asked: "Who do you think is the real master of the Kingdom of God on land?"

Lin Yi curled his lips: "It's definitely not the Supreme Board of Directors anyway. Although the Supreme Board of Directors is powerful, it doesn't look like a substantive authority. Judging from past history, it has not turned its all-pervasive and huge influence into substantive power. , but showed great restraint, which is strange."

Obviously, this is definitely not because the giants on the top board of directors have strong determination and can collectively restrain their desire for power.

There must be a powerful external force forcing them to restrain themselves!

Gu Jiumu glanced at Lin Yi appreciatively: "Yes, the true status of the Supreme Board of Directors in this land of God can be more appropriately described as a property office gathered by a group of guards and security guards."

"The greatest value of its existence is to prevent the Kingdom of God on Land from being in chaos, and at the same time, prevent the Kingdom of God on Land from having its real power occupied by others."

"To put it bluntly, the Supreme Board of Directors is just a guard dog."

Lin Yi looked strange: "Isn't that true?"

Although he had made some speculations about this before, he did not go so far as to belittle the aloof Supreme Board of Directors.

If these words were spoken by someone else, he would definitely regard them as irresponsible compliments, but the problem is, the person who said these words now is the top tycoon Gu Jiumu.

"Reality is so absurd."

Gu Jiumu laughed self-deprecatingly, and then said: "Remember the giant trial, right? To destroy the Spirit Clan, you were asked to issue a certificate of nomination, but that certificate of nomination was not given to our top board of directors, but to the people behind the scenes. The true master."

"What you did, to put it bluntly, was just wiping someone else's butt."

Lin Yi frowned: "Who are they?"

Gu Jiumu was silent for a moment, and finally three words came out: "Inner King's Court."

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched slightly.

These three words have never appeared in mainstream cognition or in professional intelligence circles.

It can only mean one thing. The weight represented by these three words is far heavier than anything he has heard or seen before!

In other words, these three words are the true essence of the existence of the Kingdom of God on land to this day.

Lin Yi has no doubt that if it weren't for his relationship with Gu Jiumu, even if he sat on the position of a giant, it would be difficult for him to know this secret, and he would only become a watchdog being manipulated behind the scenes. .

After taking a look at Lin Yi's reaction, Gu Jiumu continued: "The Kingdom of God on land used to be a truly huge empire. At that time, there were not so many chaotic forces from all sides, and all the power was controlled by an unprecedented empire. In the hands of a powerful dynasty.”

"How powerful the royal power was at that time can be described in one sentence. It threatened the divine power!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but have a flash of horror in his eyes.

The dispute between divine power and royal power has never been a new thing. Even in the history of various countries in the secular world, it has been repeated in various eras.

But in this land of God, such a scene actually happened, which really surprised Lin Yi.

After all, this place is different from the secular world. Not only are there real gods, there are temples of all sizes, and most importantly, this is the country closest to the legendary divine domain!

No matter which angle it is judged from, even if a unified royal power can emerge in such a place, it must be a vassal that succumbs to divine power.

The reason is simple.

Royal power represents people, while divine power represents gods!

In a country where miracles can come at any time, there is no theoretical basis for the idea of ​​man conquering heaven, but it still appears, and it is a real threat to divine power. Regardless of the final result, this is a huge miracle in itself. .

Gu Jiumu's tone was solemn: "After several tentative collisions, the royal power and the divine power finally broke out in a world-destroying battle that destroyed the world."

Lin Yi couldn't help but ask: "What's the result?"

Although from a personal standpoint, he is more inclined to represent human kingship, it is unimaginable to be able to defeat divine power here, even if the gods do not end up personally.

"According to normal development, that battle will completely destroy the Kingdom of God on land and turn it into a complete ruin and death place."

"But unexpectedly, the God of Creation suddenly issued a supreme oracle and stopped the war between humans and gods at the last edge."

"Since then, the major temples have been completely damaged, and they have not been able to form a real climate to this day."

"And the powerful men who controlled the royal power at that time also retreated collectively at the request of the Supreme Oracle, and never showed up in the Kingdom of God on land and disappeared."

Gu Jiumu paused and said quietly: "The dynasty disappeared, and the Kingdom of God on land ushered in an era of great chaos. However, the group of powerful kings did not decline. They reorganized a powerful force to withstand the The pressure from the gods controls everything that happens in the Kingdom of God behind the scenes."

"The name of that force is the Inner King's Court."

After listening to these words, Lin Yi felt that his understanding of the Kingdom of God on land had been completely overturned.

Before that, even if the Supreme Board of Directors acted in a strange way, there was no doubt about the strength and status of the Nine Giants.

However, now that I know the inside story, looking back, let alone the Nine Giants, even the title of Kong Shenglin, the number one person in the world, seems a bit funny.

Lin Yi said with a strange expression: "So, the Inner Royal Court is the real owner of the Kingdom of God on land, and the Supreme Board of Directors is just a property that serves them?"

Gu Jiumu nodded and said: "Due to the restrictions of the Supreme Oracle, the powerful kings in the Inner Court could not directly intervene in the affairs of the Kingdom of God on land, so they used various indirect means to launch the Supreme Board of Directors to act as their agent, that is, The property you mentioned."

Lin Yi asked curiously: "If that's the case, aren't they afraid of being overshadowed by the Supreme Board of Directors?"

It is not uncommon in the secular world for the property to ride on the owner's head.
