Chapter 401: The Repaired World Barrier
Chapter 401: The Repaired World Barrier
Qin Muye's hesitation did not last long, and he quickly began a comprehensive examination of himself to test the changes that had occurred after he severed his connection with the Lord System.
After all, he needed to have a thorough understanding and a wealth of data about himself to better enhance his strength in the future. Otherwise, he would just break through and stop there, which wouldn't allow him to advance so quickly.
"Master, the latest intelligence: the Great Darkness Dynasty is becoming increasingly chaotic, with many rebel kings appearing in various regions. The three demons—Tan, Chen, and Chi—have not been heard from, and according to reports, the number of evil spirits disappearing has significantly increased, making the Spirit Realm increasingly peaceful, which is quite abnormal."
"Also, Ji Shan says he intends to merge with the Dao."
The Black Hand provided a lot of recent intelligence. Although Qin Muye did not directly manage these matters, he still needed to be informed, as these were potential enemies he might face.
"Merge with the Dao? How confident is he?" Qin Muye was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Ji Shan to consider merging with the Dao and strengthening himself so soon, thinking it would take more time to observe.
However, this was within expectations, given Ji Shan's clear attitude.
Over the twenty-three years in the Secret Martial World, Ji Shan's primordial spirit had grown increasingly vast, to the point where his body could no longer contain it, and he spent most of his days in his primordial spirit form.
Moreover, his primordial spirit form had become increasingly inhuman, resembling the deities of ancient mythology.
To merge with the Dao, he had created a large number of magical techniques as auxiliary tools.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been realistic for him to have been idling all these years.
"Eighty percent," the Black Hand replied.
Qin Muye remained silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, have the spirits enter the Spirit Realm to investigate and clear out all the evil spirits."
"Last time, when we dealt with the insectoids, they were pulled down from a higher-dimensional plane. They probably haven't fully returned yet, so let's keep them from leaving."
Since he had made the decision, Qin Muye did not intend to try to stop them, but he still needed to be cautious and ensure a thorough cleanup.
"Understood, we will proceed as soon as possible. There is one more thing: the world barrier that the insectoids breached has already been restored. It seems there are no major issues at the moment," the Black Hand added.
"So quickly? In just one day?" Qin Muye was somewhat surprised.
Although they had spent twenty-three years in the Secret Martial World, due to the random dungeon scrolls, only twenty-four hours had passed in the Sorcerer Dynasty server.
"Apparently, some kind of force is helping. Unfortunately, we were all away at the time, and no one observed it. However, we initially suspect it is related to the missing three demons of the Spirit Realm and the decreasing number of evil spirits."
"Given the unexpected situation in the Spirit Realm, this seems plausible."
The intelligence department and the strategists all pointed to this possibility, as it was too coincidental otherwise.
Qin Muye pondered for a moment: "It's quite possible. Although the evil spirits in the Spirit Realm are somewhat malevolent, if placed in the Divine Path world, they would be human deities. They might have taken this action."
While the evil spirits in the Spirit Realm were causing chaos in the Great Darkness Dynasty, this was essentially a way of harvesting resources. If someone tried to overthrow the Great Darkness Dynasty, it would be like destroying their resource fields, and they would be more anxious than even the Divine Emperor of the Great Darkness Dynasty.
Back then, the battle against the Divine Emperor was more about protecting their resource fields rather than exterminating humanity.
The Divine Emperor's actions were akin to uprooting the resources of the three demons—Tan, Chen, and Chi—and transplanting them to his own fields. No one would willingly accept that, leading to the conflict.
Due to various reasons such as enlightenment, development, and exploitation, the three demons—Tan, Chen, and Chi—managed to preserve their resource fields but saw a significant decrease in yield.
If anyone's interests were most aligned with the Great Darkness Dynasty, it was the Divine Emperor and the three demons.
Of course, they aligned with the Great Darkness Dynasty, not the sorcerers. Due to the sorcerers, their resource fields suffered further losses after the Divine Emperor's reduction, leading to their intense attacks on the sorcerers.
Repairing the world barrier, on one hand, was to protect their resource fields, and on the other, it was likely part of their duty, as they were innate beings.
"However, there are still many doubts, such as the timing of their disappearance. If they intended to repair the barrier, it should have been after our initial battle, not before the insectoids were defeated. At that time, there was nothing to repair."
"So I suspect they are undergoing a cataclysm, transforming into high-dimensional demons."
Qin Muye's expression was grave. He decided to prepare for the worst and use the greatest force possible. Even if it turned out to be unnecessary, it was better than being caught off guard and unprepared.
"This possibility is not small. I will immediately arrange the necessary measures." The Black Hand listened without much reaction, as the strategists had already speculated this. He just hadn't had the chance to say it yet.
If the elite heroes who relied on this for a living hadn't thought of this, they would have long been dismissed and sent back for retraining. "It seems I also need to prepare." Qin Muye frowned.
He felt that this time the problem was significant. After all, both the Divine Emperor Shenyao and the three demons—Tan, Chen, and Chi—had suddenly encountered issues, which gave him a sense that they had all gone offline at once.
This was not a good sign. Just because they seemed to be offline didn't mean they were idle; they could be gearing up for something.
"These two forces are different from the Demon Mechanical Emperor and the Insectoid Overlord. They don't have any backing, so where did this opportunity come from?"
To be honest, he was somewhat helpless because even with his current strength, he couldn't find where Tan, Chen, and Chi were.
As for the Divine Emperor Shenyao, he could sense him, but it felt strange in Qin Muye's perception, as if he was in the process of breaking through.
Yes, breaking through.
Under normal circumstances, the natives of this world had no ability to break through to the 8th stage. After all, the server was only so large and lacked the conditions for such a breakthrough.
Whether it was the three demons—Tan, Chen, and Chi—or the Divine Emperor Shenyao, they were like potted plants, limited by their environment and the world's influence, making it impossible for them to break through to higher levels.
Qin Muye's eyes reflected the flow of civilization, and he saw the chaos and turmoil that had engulfed it.
This indicated that the Great Darkness Dynasty was in a precarious position.
This ability was something he had obtained from the World's Son of Civilization, even though he had separated from it, the ability remained.
When he had separated, it was like cutting a piece of flesh from his body, but it didn't affect his overall condition.
So he could see the big picture, the grand trends of civilization.
"slaughter, ambition, chaos."
"Are the three demons—Tan, Chen, and Chi—stirring up trouble? Have they discovered something?"
Qin Muye had a theory: if the Divine Emperor Shenyao had obtained an unknown opportunity to break through, then the three demons—Tan, Chen, and Chi—might be doing the same. Otherwise, how could they be considered a world-ending crisis?
"This intuition talent, 'Heart Blood Surge,' always fails when it encounters major events, but fortunately, I don't rely on intuition."
Qin Muye wasn't too worried now. Given his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter a Mother of Races or a God—beings that defied all logic—he could handle 8th stage entities.
High-dimensional demons might be strong, but could they be stronger than the Skynet and the Insectoids?
Qin Muye thought not. These two entities had brought in their backers for mechanical deus ex machina.
He estimated that even if they succeeded, they would likely only reach the 8th stage. Okay, possibly the 9th stage, but that was unlikely. If they truly reached the 9th stage, the server would be doomed, and Qin Muye couldn't save it. He would have to rely on a server transfer voucher to escape.
Fortunately, he had one such voucher. Otherwise, he would have to settle for being the fourth generation God King in a fairy tale world.
With Qin Muye's current strength and the Endless Abyss, he no longer feared Zeus. If the other had authority, didn't he have it too?
Moreover, if he couldn't win, he could always lay low for a while.
However, if he encountered such a situation, Qin Muye felt his future would be bleak. He believed that even if he devoured the fairy tale world, it wouldn't help him reach the 9th stage.
The 9th stage relied not on quantity but on quality.
"First, I need to arrange for Ji Shan to merge with the Dao. If his strength is sufficient, he might be the one to turn the tide as a destined hero."
Qin Muye never underestimated this talent. When the forces were evenly matched, it came down to who had the better luck.
While luck could be unreliable, it had its unique value. Otherwise, "The Lord's Era" wouldn't have arbitrarily given such a seemingly meaningless attribute.
