Chapter 656: You Want Me to Draw Hatred for You?
Chapter 656: You Want Me to Draw Hatred for You?
"Looks like my temporary skill suddenly went haywire. Did my future self really pull such a big move?" Qin Muye's face was full of disbelief as he naturally accepted the avatar and understood the entire situation.
"Damn, if the Existence Reduction skill has failed, does that mean I'll be noticed?"
"If the First Emperor really recovers, he'll definitely come after me first."
Qin Muye was quite aware of his situation. He had been fearless before because his presence was low, but now, based on future events, he had directly reclaimed 90% of the permissions of the Endless Abyss, rendering the temporary skill useless.
Once the First Emperor recovers, he will surely think of Qin Muye, who occasionally comes to beat him up, extorts him with the soul of an infant, and even searches his soul. Wouldn't he kill Qin Muye to vent his anger?
"But there's some good news too. The Information Sea is almost drained, and it won't take much effort to act on it."
Qin Muye looked at his Endless Abyss territory, knowing that it wouldn't be easy to restore it to its state three months from now, and he would have to redo many things.
After all, there was a time gap, and it couldn't be easily bridged.
"Shooting Sun, Taotie, Cloud Whales, Punishment Angels—so many Omega-level beings."
"But strangely, The Lord of Ages wasn't affected at all?"
Looking at his territory's rank, it was now 9th, whereas it should have been 8th at this point in time.
"Once obtained, always obtained. What's in the mouth will never be spit out." Qin Muye was certain that although time was being rewound, the Dragon Vein definitely had 0.7 units of World Origin less.
The Information Sea can rewind the world itself, but it cannot reclaim the portion of the world that has already been converted by The Lord of Ages. They are fundamentally different systems.
Moreover, time itself cannot affect The Lord of Ages, which can adjust the flow of time during missions.
However, his subordinates, the spirits, were a bit confused. After all, the territory had inexplicably upgraded from 8th to 9th rank, which was a significant increase, leaving them at a loss.
The rank of the territory is fixed, not the troops. The troops still suffer the same damage, and time rewinding can be categorized as a time-based attack.
Since neither the spirits nor Qin Muye are immune to time, they naturally failed the judgment.
"Perhaps I can now continue to blend in and live a peaceful life. The First Emperor will be dealt with by the Universal Protector Organization. I'll first restore my territory, get the Information Sea, and then find an opportunity to complete the remaining two plots."
At this moment, Qin Muye suddenly realized something—he was still in the midst of the two major plot events: the First Emperor's restoration and the Dragon Vein's failure.
"Damn, if the Universal Protector Organization handles it, won't I complete the main quest?!"
Qin Muye was completely stunned. He hadn't expected that the main quest would not be deemed invalid but would continue, integrating the entire reversal process as part of the two major plot events.
While other lords were eager to complete their tasks as soon as possible, Qin Muye was in a completely different position.
"Your own fault for being so reckless, brushing the skill effects. Now you've dug your own grave." Qin Muye didn't know what to say.
At the time, brushing the Existence Reduction skill was fine, but considering the situation, it seemed that only those two plot events were left for the future, so he decided to just blend in for a while. The First Emperor's restoration could be resolved quickly, but the Dragon Vein's failure would definitely not be.
"Whatever, at least I gained something." Qin Muye sighed. At least his future self had not only studied the Information Sea but also the effects of the temporary skill, which benefited him.
And without doing anything, he was already 9th rank and had obtained a large amount of research data.
"If all else fails, I can just move on to the next world after finishing this one. It's not a big deal." Although Qin Muye felt helpless, he had no choice.
"All I need to do now is get the Information Sea."
As for this world, Qin Muye had no intention of devouring it or turning it into a Titan-level megastructure. He might have had such thoughts before, but not now.
Because the anomalous entities wouldn't disappear just because the Information Sea was gone.
If the Information Sea is the mother of the anomalous entities, once they are born, they have no further connection to the Information Sea, leaving behind only corresponding data.
These data cannot directly control the anomalous entities. The relationship between them is like that between a buyer and a seller; once the transaction is complete, the seller has no way to interfere with what the buyer does with the goods.
Therefore, if he wanted to devour the world, he would have to face a large group of anomalous entities.
However, the disappearance of the Information Sea does have its benefits. As the mother of the anomalous entities, once the Information Sea is gone, there won't be any new anomalous entities born, unless some anomalous entities go out of control and exhibit similar functions.
But these are matters for the future and have little to do with the present.
"Doctor Long is here? To test the First Emperor?" Qin Muye sensed Doctor Long approaching his direction.
He didn't think Doctor Long was coming to see him. Although his presence had decreased, it wasn't enough for Doctor Long to actually come to him. At this critical moment, Doctor Long must be here to test the First Emperor in the neighboring Tai Ah Palace.
But this time, Qin Muye was clearly wrong. Doctor Long directly turned into his villa.
"You only come when there's something you want. I don't remember you ever coming to me first," Qin Muye thought for a moment and added, "Except when I escaped."
"..." Doctor Long was flustered. You still bring up the escape? He even suspected that the First Emperor's loss of control was due to Qin Muye beating him too much.
However, because he needed Qin Muye's help, he didn't complain and simply explained the situation.
"Do I look like someone who can fight? Besides, are you asking me to help as a support or to draw hatred and be a meat shield?" Qin Muye immediately saw through what Doctor Long wanted. It was nothing more than asking him to draw hatred.
Given how often and how he beat the First Emperor, when the two met, the First Emperor would consider any glance at anyone else as a sign of disrespect.
"Both, both. After this, I'll give you a small community and arrange people to serve you," Doctor Long said immediately.
At Qin Muye's level, talking about benefits was pointless because you couldn't afford his compensation. The only choice was to appeal to his emotions.
"Is the community inside the Dragon Vein or outside?" Qin Muye raised an eyebrow. This was a significant difference.
"Cough, this can be negotiated," Doctor Long said tactfully.
At first, it seemed like it would be inside the Dragon Vein, but if Qin Muye agreed to help, it could be outside, allowing him to live a normal life.
"I'll have to think about it. After all, the First Emperor is not exactly friendly towards me. If it comes to a fight, I fear for my life," Qin Muye politely declined.
Why would he get involved for no reason? Was he feeling too relaxed?
"But you live next to the First Emperor," Doctor Long's meaning was clear. If a fight broke out, he might get caught in the crossfire.
"I can move. You're not going to attack the First Emperor right away, are you? I don't have much stuff. Let's go; arrange a place far from Tai Ah Palace for me," Qin Muye said with righteous indignation.
Doctor Long could see that Qin Muye was firmly unwilling to get involved. He could only ask, "Can you tell me why?"
"Sure. I think you have a reason for suddenly targeting the First Emperor. This means the First Emperor has become a threat to world safety. Why would I be foolish enough to be a meat shield for such a person?" Qin Muye said with confidence.
He definitely wouldn't die, but the First Emperor would definitely go red-eyed at the sight of him and beat him to death. He couldn't reveal his true strength, so he would end up being a meat shield.
Doctor Long hadn't expected Qin Muye to think this far, but he had to admit that Qin Muye's reasoning was sound.
"We can agree to one reasonable request if you help draw the First Emperor's attention," Doctor Long was increasingly certain that Qin Muye's annoying demeanor would definitely draw the First Emperor's hatred.
As long as the First Emperor was focused on Qin Muye, the rest of the situation would be much easier to handle.
"Really? That's quite a generous offer," Qin Muye's expression was somewhat surprised, and he began to consider whether to... join in the chaos?
