Chapter 742: Three Years in a Night, Finally Reaching the Mortal World
Chapter 742: Three Years in a Night, Finally Reaching the Mortal World
Time flew by, and three years had passed. Qin Muye had wandered through numerous worlds, and the Enthronement Plan had been progressing smoothly. The Xuazhen Realm had been successfully established, and even the disciples of the Three Teachings had begun to take on their roles.
Qin Muye was not entirely clear about what the Three Teachings' leaders and the Heavenly Dao had discussed, but he could sense that the Heavenly Dao seemed to have obtained some conditions or exchanges.
However, subsequent conflicts arose, particularly regarding the colonization of worlds and the cleanup of residual rules.
For the Heavenly Dao, these residual rules were not only useless but also a hindrance. They would certainly be eliminated once the Divine Path system was established. For the Three Teachings, however, these rules represented an interest point.
This conflict led to significant turmoil as the Divine Path system began to establish itself in the colonized worlds.
Currently, both sides were at an impasse, and Qin Muye's investments and inspection teams had become secondary concerns.
Qin Muye didn't care about the reasons behind the conflict. Factories were already being built, and investments were underway. The more they argued, the happier he was, as the tension had already been heightened.
This was precisely what Qin Muye wanted. By focusing everyone's attention on the interests of the Divine Path system, the chances of his covert actions being discovered would be minimized.
Finally, Qin Muye had arrived at Huang Bi's hometown. Although he had taken a long detour, it was not in vain. His travels through the colonized worlds had been fruitful, leading to the development of many new projects. Sometimes, a small spark of inspiration from the remnants of certain systems was enough for Qin Muye to derive numerous results.
"The Extraordinary System of the Immortal Path was similar to a spiritual resonance system?"
"However, it wasn't the resonance of living beings, but the resonance of minerals, which were then integrated into the body, involving the transformation of matter. This is truly unique."
Qin Muye quickly detected the remnants of this world's system. No one was practicing the original system anymore because the Immortal Path rules had replaced them. Practicing the original system would not lead to strength; instead, it would be suppressed by the Immortal Path rules, and one might even die as a result.
Now, if an ordinary person tried to integrate minerals into their flesh and blood, it would be no different from seeking death.
"The key lies in resonance, not integration. Under the Immortal Path system, spiritual resonance seems to have transformed into something akin to divine soul talents."
"Due to the residual rules, the people of this world are more advanced in their divine souls compared to those in other colonized worlds. As a genius, Huang Bi is likely even more advanced."
"Given this, it makes sense that the black single eye chose Huang Bi."
Qin Muye's perception did not detect any new black single eyes or similar entities, indicating that there was only one.
"I've cracked the coordinates, but I'm not entirely confident."
The reason was simple: the entire world was sealed off. He could travel freely within the colonized worlds because they were considered part of the Xuazhen Realm.
Thus, the seal of "Lord Era" encompassed the entire cluster of worlds.
Leaving this cluster centered around the Xuazhen Realm would not be easy and would depend on whether "Lord Era" allowed it. If not, he would have to find another way.
Giving up was not an option. Although this was an additional plan, it represented another way to break the deadlock for Qin Muye.
While the Divine Path system served as a fallback, having more aces in the hole was always better. What if one failed?
It was always wise to consider failure before success.
"I can only try. While 'Lord Era' is somewhat inflexible, it's not entirely rigid."
Initially, Qin Muye was quite confident, but the memory of his bug exploits made him less certain.
After all, if he could exploit bugs, it suggested that "Lord Era" was still rather rigid. If it were more flexible, the first bug he exploited would have been fixed, rather than allowing him to continue exploiting it.
"Let's investigate the situation first. Maybe I'll find a teleportation array or something. It's not impossible." Qin Muye muttered, though he doubted finding a teleportation array. He had already thoroughly examined the entire world upon his arrival.
There was little value left. If there were valuable items, they would have been scavenged by the Three Teachings long ago.
"Then, I need to find a reason to stay for a long time. After all, suddenly staying in this colonized world for so long doesn't make much sense."
Qin Muye usually stayed for two or three days. If he were to stay for thirty to fifty years, the contrast would be very obvious. Although they wouldn't say anything, they might start to suspect something. It's not that they would think Qin Muye had discovered something, but rather that he might be planning something.
Now, the leaders of the Three Teachings and the Heavenly Dao were at an impasse. Although most of their attention was on each other, it didn't mean they would ignore Qin Muye. They also worried that Qin Muye might step in and reap the benefits.
Therefore, settling down here had to be done openly, leaving no room for suspicion. This was actually a very difficult thing to do.
Who would normally choose to live in a barren and harsh environment? Due to the world's energy level and exploitation, the resources and environment of a colonized world naturally couldn't compare to the Xuazhen Realm.
So, if he just visited, it wouldn't be a problem, but if he really settled down, he would seem foolish.
Sharpening oneself? That would be even more ridiculous.
If another Three Teachings disciple said this, they might believe it, but with Qin Muye, they would likely suspect ulterior motives.
After much thought, Qin Muye realized something.
Why did he need to explain himself? At most, the Supreme Dao Master might indirectly probe him, and he could just say he didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
With the intense conflict, it wouldn't be appropriate for him, who had just arrived, to get involved.
This way, the issue would be resolved. Since he wouldn't even get involved in the Divine Path system, they wouldn't suspect him.
As for inviting Qin Muye back, that was unlikely. If Qin Muye fled, it would benefit everyone. Once Qin Muye sided with one party, it would disrupt the balance.
Even if he could become an ally, no one wanted to take that risk. As long as Qin Muye didn't step in and reap the benefits, things would be manageable.
After understanding this key point, Qin Muye was no longer worried.
Given the current situation, the conflict between the two sides would likely last for tens of thousands of years. It was just a covert struggle, with neither side personally getting involved. Instead, they would use their own forces as pawns.
If they really got personally involved, it would mean a complete breakdown of relations, which was impossible. Although the conflict was intense, their interests were still intertwined.
If an outsider targeted one of the parties, they would unite instantly.
For example, Qin Muye.
"This is truly a paradox of human nature," Qin Muye thought, feeling somewhat helpless. The bond was based on interests, and while he had interfered, he couldn't truly get involved. The Divine Path system had brought benefits to the Xuazhen Realm, but the ties of interest were not strong enough. Sowing discord was just a minor tactic and couldn't solve his mission.
However, he didn't really care about these matters. From the beginning, his plan didn't focus on this.
"Find an opportunity to establish a spatial device and see if I can locate that world."
He had the coordinates, but he didn't plan to go there recklessly. First, he needed to calibrate the position and confirm that there was indeed a world there.
Then, he would find a way to blend in unnoticed, and proceed step by step.
Ideally, he wouldn't reveal his 9th-stage strength and would become a high-ranking official among the natives, gaining enough influence.
If he couldn't go himself, he would have to use an avatar. This was a 9th-stage world, and using an avatar was safer, but it was also riskier.
Going himself might be dangerous, but the rewards would be greater.
As for the specific situation, he would have to see how things developed. Qin Muye couldn't make a hasty judgment now.
"Fortunately, the spirits are developing well here, which saves me a lot of trouble. I don't need to worry about procurement, just need to be careful about misleading them."
Qin Muye wanted to purchase the raw materials for the equipment and manufacture it himself. This would definitely involve a list, and the Three Teachings weren't amateurs. He couldn't procure materials elsewhere.
Using his own resources wasn't practical. First, the cost was too high, and second, as an outsider, it would easily trigger the Three Teachings' reaction. What if they suddenly decided to stab him in the back? It would be better to leave the raw materials for them to guess.
The systems were different. If they could guess, would they still be trapped in the Immortal Path?
