Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Dingshan clearly didn't quite understand the term "Xiao Ce" either, and simply said, "You'll understand when you see it later..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then turned to Xiao Dingshan and asked a different question: "Uncle, now that you dare to openly impersonate the original owner of this body, then this original owner must have been arrested by you, right..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled and said, "That's right, that's indeed the case... Xiao Ce, you really are still the same as before..."

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said to him, "Uncle, why did you come here... Did you really capture the original owner of this body? What is the purpose of your visit this time...?"

Xiao Ce didn't waste any more words, but instead asked directly...

Hearing Xiao Ce speak so frankly, Xiao Dingshan had no doubts and spoke directly.

"Xiao Ce, I wanted to contact you at the base before, but you disappeared without a trace after you went to Lost Island... We've been searching for you, making inquiries from various sources, and analyzing the situation. We've guessed that you might have come here..."

"At the same time, while we were looking for you, we were also looking for the original owner of this body. We had been tracking that original owner, but when we had a signal, we weren't entirely confident in capturing him, so we hesitated to take action..."

"After you shut down Lost Island and the signal was lost, we had a chance to win, and we acted immediately..."

"Because the original owner of this body had many members of their al-Qaeda surrounding her, it wouldn't have been difficult for them to take action..."

After saying this, Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, the original owner of this body was indeed quite foolish before..."

Xiao Ce was clearly surprised after hearing Xiao Dingshan's words.

Seeing Xiao Ce's expression, Xiao Dingshan smiled and then said, "Are you a little surprised? I should be standing on his side..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, Imperial Uncle. Although I am very grateful to you, I also know very well that the person you should want to help is the original Xiao Ce from the very beginning."

After Xiao Dingshan finished speaking, he smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's what I thought at first too... However, after seeing all the things he did, I realized that he's not just stupid, but he's become someone else's puppet..."

As Xiao Dingshan spoke, he felt that this matter was still too complicated to explain.

He then said directly to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, this is a long story. I'll tell you about it later when we have the chance..."

Xiao Ce nodded.

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Xiao Dingshan continued, "This time, I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle things here, so I wanted to use the original owner of Xiao Ce's identity to help you... However, after I came here, I found that you did even better than I expected..."

Xiao Ce smiled when he heard Xiao Dingshan's praise.

Xiao Dingshan continued, "Since there's no need to help you with the first thing, my second thing is to invite you to join Al-Qaeda..."

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce did not reply and fell into deep thought...

To be honest, Xiao Ce had a general understanding of what kind of person the original owner of this body was and his strength.

However, Xiao Ce knew absolutely nothing about this so-called al-Qaeda organization.

Moreover, although this Xiao Dingshan is indeed Xiao Dingshan... after so many things that have happened, he may no longer be himself...

Xiao Dingshan noticed Xiao Ce's doubt and then said with a smile, "Xiao Ce, are you worried about your safety?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, Imperial Uncle, I won't hide anything from you... Yes, I still have a chance of winning against the original Xiao Ce, but as for your base organization, I really know nothing about it..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled and expressed his understanding. He then said to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, your concerns are indeed valid... However, I can assure you that you don't need to worry. While I don't have complete knowledge of Al-Qaeda..."

However, from what I've gathered, the original owner of this body, Xiao Ce, actually represented the Adventists, or rather, the Conquerors. The Al-Qaeda members, on the other hand, are referred to as the Guardians.

Xiao Ce asked Xiao Dingshan with a puzzled look, "The Descent Faction, the Guardian Faction..."

Xiao Dingshan nodded: "That's right, you should know about the fact that the original owner of this body, Xiao Ce, and you swapped souls, right..."

Xiao Ce continued to nod.

Xiao Dingshan continued, "After the original owner Xiao Ce swapped souls with you, it seems he went to your world. And is your world equipped with very advanced technology?"

Upon hearing Xiao Dingshan's question, Xiao Ce fell into deep thought before replying, "It wouldn't be considered extremely advanced... It depends on the comparison. Compared to the previous world, it's definitely advanced. But compared to some of the robots and chips here, it's considered outdated..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, and said, "Anyway, after he went to your place, he's been trying to find a way to come back..."

Hearing Xiao Dingshan say this, Xiao Ce was both amused and exasperated. He was an ancient person who had come to the modern world, and he was the CEO of a listed company. His status and position were not much higher than Xiao Ce's.

He wouldn't call himself a local tyrant, but he's pretty close. If he just wanted to eat, drink, and have fun, he couldn't spend all that money in several lifetimes.

As it turned out, the original owner wanted to come back.

Xiao Ce found it somewhat unbelievable, but he did not interrupt Xiao Dingshan.

Xiao Dingshan continued, "Anyway, in the end he really did find a way to get here. He not only came alone, but also brought some weapons, robots and stuff like that, you should know about these... And it seems that the original owner, Xiao Ce, has a force behind him. They seem to want to conquer this planet and then make everyone here their slaves, so that they can mine what they need..."

"As for the Al-Qaeda defenders, they're even simpler. They actually arrived here a very, very long time ago. According to them, their arrival was purely accidental... They say they were space astronauts who came here after an accident..."

"After they arrived here, they didn't leave. They stayed in their base, researching and trying to leave. But over time, they realized leaving was a pipe dream, so they chose to stay. They also developed an attachment to this planet. So they decided to stay..."

"However, they've been quietly conducting their research, only going out to find near-death individuals to expand their team when needed, like those people you know, similar to Director Mi... I think they're actually doing good deeds..."

“I know that they are a defensive faction because they understand that some resources here are only available to them, and they have the potential to develop... so they refuse entry to others... In this respect, we are all protecting this planet. Although we have different points, we can find common ground while reserving differences…”

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Then, Imperial Uncle, do they possess cutting-edge technology? If so, why don't they just show it to us?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan couldn't help but laugh, then said to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, you've asked the same question as them, just like me..."

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Oh? The same topic?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan nodded: "That's right, I also asked them. Since they have such advanced technology, why not just give it to them directly? Why keep it hidden... Their answer was simple. They said that scientific research has stages... In fact, the Western Industrial Revolution was ignited by them, which led the West into the Industrial Revolution..."

"Although they didn't lead it, they certainly pushed it forward. In reality, despite their nice words, they just want a technological monopoly. They need their technology to be several stages ahead of the current technology so they can maintain control... It's really just a power struggle..."

"For example, Western industry is currently more advanced than East Asia's, and the West listens to and follows their lead, which is naturally ideal. If the West loses control, they can then support East Asia... Therefore, although Al-Qaeda hasn't truly met its end, it has maintained control over all of this..."

"Of course, your appearance, and the original owner's appearance, clearly disrupted their progress..."

Xiao Ce was clearly surprised after hearing Xiao Dingshan's words...

Because he had assumed Xiao Dingshan was confused, but he never expected him to be so clear-headed...

Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Dingshan.

Xiao Dingshan smiled, then said to Xiao Ce, "What's wrong with Xiao Ce? You don't think I'm a muddle-headed person, do you...?"

Xiao Ce smiled and shook his head, then said, "So, Uncle... based on the information you've given... that bishop or something from the Illuminati is actually supported by Al-Qaeda?"

Xiao Dingshan nodded, not denying it: "It can't be called support. The original bishop of the Illuminati regarded Al-Qaeda as a holy site, while Al-Qaeda only gave them some seeds. As for subsequent development, they didn't follow up at all. Of course, Al-Qaeda also had its demands... whatever they needed, they would have the Illuminati find it for them... it's actually a supply and demand relationship between the two..."

"Of course, al-Qaeda actually did very little, while the Illuminati provided a great deal..."

Xiao Ce understood immediately upon hearing Xiao Dingshan's words.

Seeing that Xiao Ce remained silent, Xiao Dingshan gave a bitter smile and then said to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, do you think that I'm acknowledging a thief as my father?"

Seeing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce smiled helplessly, then waved his hand and said, "No...of course not...Although the West plundered the East, as you said, their al-Qaeda organization didn't directly intervene. This is simply the law of all things...Even without them, there would be others..."

"What you said is actually correct; it's about finding common ground while respecting differences..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled and then said, "So, Xiao Ce, are you willing to come with me on this trip?"

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, as you said, I'm willing to make this trip..."

Xiao Dingshan was clearly very pleased after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Xiao Ce then turned to Xiao Dingshan and asked, "Uncle, what is their purpose in inviting me over...?"

Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Ce, "It seems we need to discuss the people who are about to arrive from outside..."

After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce asked with some confusion, "Outside? The people who are about to arrive?"

Xiao Dingshan nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, that's right... Extraterrestrial visitors... The reason they asked you to close Lost Island is actually because... when Lost Island was open before, the original owner of this body, Xiao Ce, relied on the guidance issued by Lost Island to allow them to continuously enter..."

"Now that the signal is off, those extraterrestrial visitors shouldn't be able to see our location..."

"However, according to al-Qaeda's analysis, even if they've lost their target, they've already been here once, and through calculations, they might still be able to determine the coordinates... Therefore, we need to take precautions..."

"Furthermore, although Lost Island is closed, we will still need this signal in the future... Therefore, they want to discuss with you how to develop our capabilities to resist the invasion of outsiders..."

"As long as we're prepared, it's fine to start..."

After listening to Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right... So, they're planning to support me this time?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's direct words, Xiao Dingshan remained silent for a moment before shaking his head: "I really don't know... maybe... maybe not..."

Then Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Ce, "By the way, Xiao Ce, I've come here only to invite you... not to force you... It would be best if you wanted to go... but if you don't want to go, I won't force you..."
