Chapter 529: The Main Character's Aura
Chapter 529: The Main Character's Aura
Sure enough, the news of the S-class secondary dimension exploded across the entire universe, much like the emergence of a super-secret realm in a fantasy world, causing all sorts of chaos and conflict.
It was only the backward regions, such as the unclaimed territories, that might be unaware of this event. Otherwise, most people were actually informed.
However, their attitudes towards it varied. The lower class simply glanced at it as news before heading to work. The middle class saw it as a business opportunity, perhaps something they could capitalize on. The upper class, on the other hand, was already preparing to enter the secondary dimension and make a significant profit.
But top-tier figures like Qin Muye remained inactive.
They also wanted to explore this secondary dimension, but it wasn't the right time. At the very least, they would wait for the reconnaissance teams to bring back first-hand information before making their move.
As the top figures in the pyramid, they couldn't possibly handle every matter personally. Only the main character-type individuals would do everything themselves, regardless of the importance of the task.
For instance, Qin Muye had the Black Hand arrange a team of ten thousand spirits to explore the secondary dimension.
No one stopped them, as the current situation was that the secondary dimension was unclaimed. To truly own a secondary dimension, one had to obtain its core, only then could it be considered yours.
Otherwise, just claiming it wouldn't be enough; someone had to recognize your authority, a matter of established custom.
Of course, obtaining the core was one thing, but keeping it was another. They might not act immediately due to order or other reasons on the scene, but afterward, things could change.
The authority over the secondary dimension's core wasn't unbreakable.
"Location confirmed, but detailed intelligence will have to wait until the spirits return." Qin Muye, holding the egg that was Ji Shan, looked at the dimensional rift not far away, pondering how to proceed.
The reason he brought Ji Shan was simple: it was his weapon. In the past, he didn't need weapons, but now things were different. If he were surrounded, he wouldn't stand a chance, so he definitely needed a weapon.
As for why he didn't use blades or swords, those things were useless. How could they compare to a world in its embryonic form?
Thermal weapons were even less reliable. Unless he brought a Titan-class megastructure, they wouldn't stand a chance against an 8th-rank entity.
"Dad, listen to me, don't cause trouble. You hit this thing once, and we run," Ji Shan replied.
"What makes you think I'm planning to fight a horde of heroes?" Qin Muye said, as if he were planning to dominate the entire universe.
"Then why don't you act? And stop fidgeting with it, you're about to rub the shell off," Ji Shan teased.
"Don't rush. What if there's an ancient great demon or a god of destruction sealed inside? If I cut a piece off, wouldn't I release them?" Qin Muye was cautious.
"Listen to yourself. If those things really exist, do you think they'd end up in your pocket?" Ji Shan thought Qin Muye was up to something bigger, otherwise, he wouldn't hold back.
Suk, who was listening to Qin Muye and Ji Shan's banter, was covered in black lines. He was one of the S-class members assigned by the Star Empire to develop this secondary dimension, with a job similar to a security guard—charge at enemies when they appear.
There were quite a few people gathered here, though most weren't 8th-rank, they were all from various factions' space fortresses surrounding the area.
"Hey, Xiong Da, have you eaten?" Qin Muye abruptly changed the topic, looking at Suk. The term "Xiong Da" was a straightforward translation, but it had nothing to do with bears; it was just that they evolved to look similar.
"Already eaten. Does the Abyss Lord plan to get involved?" Suk asked casually, not minding being called "Xiong Da." Qin Muye was stronger, so he had the right.
"Yes, don't worry, I won't take much. I'll just take a little and leave, I promise not to compete with you," Qin Muye said offhandedly.
That was indeed his plan. The spirit exploration team was just for scientific research.
"This newly discovered secondary dimension is unclaimed. Anyone can take it," Suk said.
Qin Muye, however, shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case."
He had discovered something interesting.
After he arrived, he sensed a familiar aura.
Yes, it was the aura of a main character, or something similar.
Based on his experience of having killed a large number of main characters in the past, the main character entering this secondary dimension seemed rather inexperienced, almost like a newcomer.
Therefore, he believed there was a 60% chance that this secondary dimension would fall into the hands of this suspected main character, and a 40% chance that it would be taken by one of the major powers.
The reason for the 60-40 split was that Qin Muye didn't know if these major powers were aware of the concept of a main character.
After all, Qin Muye could detect this difference only because of his former supporting role and the temporary skills he had, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to study it.
"Oh? It seems the Abyss Lord has someone or a faction he's quite optimistic about?" Suk seemed to sense something.
He might look reckless, but he wasn't actually. His fighting style might be brutal, but he was meticulous in other aspects and wasn't just a brute.
"Guess who, and I'll tell you if you're right." Qin Muye teased.
As a lord, he wouldn't reveal everything he knew.
"I can't guess your chaotic thoughts." Suk replied.
"No, my thoughts aren't just about chaos, they also include baozi, mantou, and scallion pancakes." Qin Muye said with a hint of a smile.
How could he be chaotic? He was so orderly, so good, so neutral, and so systematic. When he decided to exterminate an entire species, he would do it thoroughly without leaving a trace.
Suk didn't know what baozi or mantou were, so he just shrugged, "Alright."
He appeared indifferent but was actually quite concerned. He planned to discuss it with others when he returned. From Qin Muye's attitude, it was clear that he knew something, but he wouldn't reveal it. To get the information, some cost would be necessary; otherwise, who would give away their intelligence for free?
He knew the value of information. If someone tried to freeload, Suk would make sure they regretted it, unless he couldn't beat them.
"It seems he guessed something, Dad, you did that on purpose!" Ji Shan said.
"Yes, that's right. I discovered a main character." The first two words were spoken normally, but the rest were transmitted to Ji Shan through the magic network to keep it confidential.
"So you're planning to cause trouble again?" Ji Shan immediately understood Qin Muye's intentions.
"What do you mean by 'cause trouble'? I call it being thorough. After all, it's rare to see one, so I want to see if there are any differences." Qin Muye was curious about the differences between the main characters of the Cosmic Server and the Summoning World.
"Don't you fear that you'll mess things up? This thing isn't omnipotent." Ji Shan knew that whether it was a main character aura or a chosen one, their abilities had limits.
If they were truly limitless, Ji Shan wouldn't have been captured by the Great Demon Mechanic Emperor as an infant.
"Whatever, if it goes wrong, I'll just stop." Qin Muye was carefree; after all, it was just a main character, and if they died, so be it.
"But we need to consider the consequences of this. After all..." Qin Muye didn't finish his sentence, his gaze shifting to a massive figure that passed by and smiled at him.
Qin Muye naturally returned the gesture.
"Tsk, you guys are really something, making me listen to all this." Ji Shan said, and the topic was dropped.
Of course, he knew what Qin Muye was going to say. The appearance of a main character usually signified a major disaster or calamity that needed to be resolved by the main character.
It was like a patch.
Given the current situation, the major powers were likely unaware of this.
After all, no matter how advanced this world was, it was still a tech-based universe, not a fantasy world. Even in a fantasy world, they might not know about chosen ones. This concept was intangible and merely a person's normal growth trajectory.
Perhaps the main character's experiences were legendary, but anyone who could reach the 8th rank had a legendary story. Even Qin Muye, a slacker, had the experience of devouring a world, and while others might not have such extreme experiences, their stories were still close to miracles.
