Chapter 460: Zijing Immortal's Test
Chapter 460: Zijing Immortal's Test
"Zijing Immortal is back online? So soon?" Qin Muye was somewhat curious. From the latest intelligence, he learned that Zijing Immortal had already started constructing various buildings and continuously expanding outward, reclaiming the lost territories.
"Well, it seems like there's been a change. That makes sense. If it were the original personality, it wouldn't have been so smoothly integrated into the Three-Eyed Clan."
Qin Muye was certain that the current Zijing Immortal was no longer the original Zijing Immortal but had become a native of this world, a native in the guise of a lord.
Qin Muye also understood the principle: first, a new blank personality was generated through mental infiltration, then reshaped into a Three-Eyed Clan member using the mental network, and the original personality was imprisoned and weakened. Once the new personality was sufficiently developed, the original personality was merged into the new one.
Through this process, the new personality dominated and consumed the original, effortlessly completing a usurpation, transforming Zijing Immortal from both body and mind into a Three-Eyed Clan member rather than the original lord.
"This technology must have been quite widespread back then; otherwise, it would be impossible for the Three-Eyed Clan to be so united."
Thinking about the always united Three-Eyed Clan, even with the mental network, as the population grew and society became more complex, it would be impossible for every Three-Eyed Clan member to be solely dedicated to the greater good. This was impossible; as long as there was self-awareness, there would be personal interests. The Three-Eyed Clan, however, lacked this, clearly guided by the Gendaya Mother Goddess.
It was similar to the technology used on Zijing Immortal, but now it replaced the personality, while in the past, it replaced the thoughts.
"This is likely the reason why the Gendaya civilization could develop so rapidly, being both united and selfless."
"Equivalent to the Gendaya Mother Goddess accelerating the growth of the Three-Eyed Clan in an unconventional way, but growing too fast led to the Gendaya Mother Goddess falling behind?"
【Zijing Immortal: Senior, do you know the reason for the recent sun's extinction?】
Suddenly, a message appeared in the chat channel.
"This is a test." Qin Muye looked at the message, pondering whether to respond.
The other party's territory was indeed developing very quickly. How quickly? With a group of tech experts working, it couldn't be slow.
【: I know】
After some thought, saying he didn't know would be too hypocritical.
"Wait, this way, I might be exposed."
Firstly, the Abyssal Magic Network, Abyssal Mages, and Blasphemous Priests, all of which were related to the Abyss. Since the other party had obtained all permissions, they could also open the leaderboard and see Qin Muye's Endless Abyss territory at a glance.
The possibility that the other party would think it was a coincidence was slim.
【Zijing Immortal: What is the reason? Can you give me some pointers?】
【: Sure, what do you have?】
Qin Muye thought that as long as the price was right, selling his information wasn't out of the question.
The other party was clearly shocked by Qin Muye's audacity and didn't respond immediately.
"Hah, trying to play dumb with me. You want to test me, but you won't pay any price, trying to get something for nothing." Qin Muye wasn't stupid; he wouldn't just answer any question without getting something in return.
【Zijing Immortal: What does Senior want?】
【: It depends on what you have. You name the price, and I'll see if it's suitable. If it is, I'll tell you; if not, you keep trying.】
Qin Muye didn't care; he was ready to demand a high price and wouldn't let the other party off easy.
【Zijing Immortal: Senior, you already took three divine artifacts from me. I'm now penniless. If there's anything you want, just ask.】
【: How do I know what you have? You tell me to ask, but you're broke. That's ridiculous.】
The other party was playing mind games with Qin Muye, first mentioning the three divine artifacts to indicate that he had no value, and then saying to ask for anything, trying to stand on moral high ground by saying, "I'm poor, so I'm justified."
But Qin Muye wasn't going to indulge the other party. "Your poverty is none of my concern. If you can't pay the price, don't ask questions."
"Knowing about the three divine artifacts, his memory must have recovered. It was just a guess before, but now it's confirmed." Qin Muye narrowed his eyes. This was a dangerous individual.
Zijing Immortal was definitely preparing to save the world. After all, the current Zijing Immortal was a Three-Eyed Clan member and wouldn't leave until the very end.
After all, given how poor the other party was, it was unlikely they had the means to leave.
After all, without a server transfer token, they were tied to this server, sharing its fate. Server transfer tokens were not easy to obtain, and given the current situation, their production was limited. If the other party had one, they would have left this server long ago instead of staying and struggling here.
The other party was silent for about three minutes before a screenshot was sent to the chat channel, showing Zijing Immortal's inventory.
【ZijingImmortal: As long as Senior can guide me, I will let you choose anything from my inventory.】
Qin Muye glanced at it and fell silent.
What a bunch of junk, nothing worth looking at, truly disappointing.
【: Farewell, you can continue your investigation. These items don't even cover the tip of the information I have.】
After seeing the other party's items, he felt helpless. There was nothing of value to exploit, they had become a pauper.
As for resources? To put it bluntly, the resources in the other party's territory were less than what the Endless Abyss could produce in ten minutes.
What Qin Muye needed more were high-end items like divine artifacts, or items like random dungeon scrolls and server transfer tokens, which would be of significant benefit to him.
Qin Muye hadn't even considered asking for a mythic-level profession. If the other party had one, they would have used it themselves and wouldn't likely give it to Qin Muye.
【ZijingImmortal: Senior, please be lenient. We are from the same world, consider this as helping a fellow, and there will be a great reward in the future.】
After reading this, Qin Muye decided not to respond. Future? There wouldn't be a future. Qin Muye planned to devour the entire world. If the other party managed to escape, there might be a future, but if they couldn't, they would end up as skeleton soldiers working in the factory.
So, since there was nothing to exploit, they were of no value.
Perhaps the other party had something valuable hidden away, but if they didn't reveal it, there was nothing Qin Muye could do.
Therefore, no matter how much the other party pleaded in the chat channel, Qin Muye ignored them.
"Seems like the other party hasn't realized that I've planted spies around them? Otherwise, they wouldn't use this tactic."
ZijingImmortal thought Qin Muye knew nothing about him, but in reality, Qin Muye knew a lot.
Even without getting close to the other party, the various high-tech devices on the goblin spies could remotely monitor, even with full coverage.
Even the conversation between the other party and Baron White Frost about how to respond was transmitted back.
The other party performed a solo act in the chat channel for about half an hour, but seeing that Qin Muye completely ignored him, he eventually gave up.
"Looks like they are truly destitute. I thought I might be able to trick some rare items out of them." Qin Muye was somewhat disappointed.
He thought the other party would be more persistent, but after all the effort, they came up with nothing.
"Considering everything, the other party seems to know quite a bit, but it's unclear how they will respond."
"From the current situation, it seems they are not underestimating my strength, and their determination to eliminate me is firm."
"I hope they can find my whereabouts quickly."
According to the intelligence he had, they had confirmed that Qin Muye was the culprit, but the problem was that to deal with Qin Muye, they first needed to find the Endless Abyss.
This was virtually impossible.
Even if the other party developed rapidly, they couldn't possibly develop the technology to reach the Astral Plane in such a short time.
Even if they did, the Astral Plane was vast, and with their limited perspective, they wouldn't think to look for the Endless Abyss beneath the Material Plane. After all, how many people look down when they look up?
Even if they did find Qin Muye, what could they do? Come and kill him? They would likely be cut to pieces by the goblins first.
With their limited strength, they were not even in the same league. If Qin Muye hadn't been busy and hoping to lure out the Gendaya Mother Goddess for maximum benefit, they would have been eliminated long ago.
"The Gendaya Mother Goddess has already made a move once. The next move should be a significant one. I hope the next move is even bigger. I want a Heroic Gold Treasure Chest!" Qin Muye sincerely felt that the Gendaya civilization and the Three-Eyed Clan were simply good people, not only providing knowledge and equipment but now also offering points and treasure chests.
