Leng An had long been speechless.
It wasn't just because the Red-Born Zombie's terrifying combat power had long exceeded his expectations.
If this were Leng An's previous life, even three normal fifth-tier psionicists wouldn't be confident of taking down the Red Life Zombie. The best outcome would be a three-for-one trade, assuming the zombie didn't run away.
That speed was far beyond what a fourth-tier psionicist like him could perceive with the naked eye.
And even so, Li Xuanzu beat it as if it were child's play, once again subverting Leng An's understanding.
Poison is a word that inspires fear and dread.
The Red-Born Zombie's ability is precisely this: the more people there are, the more convenient it becomes for him.
"Stop looking at it. Show it to me when you're done filming. We haven't settled accounts with those Mediterranean countries yet." Li Xuanzu called out to Leng An, pulling him out of his daze.
Leng An also quickly sent the video over.
Because of the distance, apart from a few loud bangs from the battle, there was no sound in the entire video.
Li Xuanzu glanced at it a few times and then sent it to Elder Huang, along with a photo of the Red Life Zombie's corpse and a photo of a fifth-order spirit core.
Old Huang's reply was a bit slow, probably due to poor cross-border signal, but it was mostly praise.
"Li...Li Xuanzu, do you have a general understanding of your own combat strength?" Leng An was right next to Li Xuanzu, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, not daring to move an inch.
But his intense curiosity and the fact that Li Xuanzu rarely showed him any malice still led him to ask the question that had been bothering him for so long.
"I can't find anyone stronger than me right now, and those weaker than me are far too weak. Just consider me a sixth-tier psionicist," Li Xuanzu said nonchalantly.
If it weren't for the fact that the Blue Star Heavenly Dao was watching Leng An, he wouldn't have bothered to answer.
Leng An pondered for a while, but despite having a thousand questions in his mind, he didn't voice them.
A sixth-tier psionicist?
Leng An was a sixth-level psionicist in his previous life, so how could he not know his own limitations?
Li Xuanzu's combat strength is at least at the seventh rank, but he lacks the unique abilities of the seventh rank.
Change the external medium!
If the fifth-order ability is merely to change one's own structure, and the sixth-order ability is to enhance that ability, then the seventh-order ability begins to transform again, enabling it to change other mediums.
For example, if a fifth-tier psionicist can turn their body into water, then a seventh-tier psionicist can turn a piece of soil into water.
This goes against common sense, but the existence of zombies and the supernatural is itself a supernatural phenomenon.
Leng An originally thought that Li Xuanzu had solved the Kyoto psionicist rebellion on his own, at most he had just created more clones, and if he were given enough fourth-order spirit cores he could do it too.
What happened today has once again widened the distance between him and Li Xuanzu, whom he thought was very close.
"By the way, how are things going between you and Shen Han?" Li Xuanzu seemed to have nothing better to do, or perhaps he couldn't sleep, so he asked Leng An to chat.
Qian Li and Fu Yu, who had been chatting and laughing in the back row, suddenly fell silent and leaned over to listen.
Eating melons (gossiping) is a characteristic that every woman possesses at different ages.
“I noticed what you told me about Xie Ke’er’s personality last time, but I’m not ready to accept Shen Han so quickly. In my previous life, it was because I had no one to rely on. In this life… let’s see.” Leng An seemed surprised that Li Xuanzu asked this question and paused for a moment.
However, they responded quickly.
"Then it's nothing." Li Xuanzu dared not ask any further questions.
Li Xuanzu was perfectly clear about what the appearance of a reborn person meant; there were only two possibilities.
One type is those who harbor too much resentment after death and make a deal with the Heavenly Dao to be reborn. The Heavenly Dao will not provide any protection to these reborn individuals.
As for concerns that the reborn might excessively disrupt the local order, there's no need to worry. Even the slightest change will be amplified infinitely through the butterfly effect. At most, they'll just be arrogant for a while, relying on their memories from their previous life.
Once a certain threshold is crossed, the advantages of rebirth become negligible, and what one gains is far less than what one gives back to Heaven.
From a four-dimensional perspective, the countless points in time in the world can be viewed as a three-dimensional space, while the fifth dimension is formed by countless different branches of this timeline to create a "plane".
As long as it doesn't affect the main timeline, also known as the "main storyline," you can do whatever you want with the Heavenly Dao. Rebirth is simply a matter of throwing yourself into another timeline.
However, in the "main storyline," this person is indeed dead; he is simply reborn in another timeline, collectively known as a "side storyline," or more precisely, a "branch of the timeline."
Such people are not common on the Blazing Spirit Continent. The Heavenly Dao rarely throws people into the main storyline, as this would cause the main storyline to become disordered with other timelines. If your soul value is high enough, the Heavenly Dao might do so.
A person's soul may not be of much use, and it becomes less powerful with each reincarnation, but it is a treasure in the eyes of Heaven.
The world can only hold so many souls. Many souls wait a long time without knowing if they will be able to become living beings. They make a deal with the Heavenly Dao, hoping to at least ensure a pleasant life in their next life.
The soul can directly enhance the Heavenly Dao itself, but there are constraints. Without signing a contract, the Heavenly Dao cannot directly absorb the soul. Otherwise, it would be a mess to watch a reborn person run rampant in its territory.
The latter is when the local Heavenly Dao receives a threat that can at least severely damage itself, it will select a person as the "protagonist" and forcibly distort the "main storyline" to send him back to the past to help the Heavenly Dao avoid or weaken this threat.
However, the Heavenly Dao cannot directly intervene when facing attacks from other Heavenly Daos, unless the opposing Heavenly Dao is unwilling to take the risk and personally intervenes despite the backlash.
Otherwise, even if a planet or plane is completely occupied by the creatures under the other party's command, it won't work.
The premise is that the difference in the number of creatures under their command cannot be too great.
Twisting the main storyline is a huge drain on the Heavenly Dao, and it will cause the "main storyline" to become chaotic and uncontrollable in the later stages, and it will be impossible to distort the main storyline again.
Heaven wouldn't act this way unless it's a critical moment. After all, it's a chance to correct a wrong answer, but there's only one chance, so one must be careful.
If someone were to actually encounter a "protagonist" like Leng An, it would mean that the Heavenly Dao of this place is facing annihilation.
Someone like Li Xuanzu, who was courting death, tried to change the "protagonist," no matter what it was. If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star saw something useful in him, he would have been killed long ago.
When Heaven destroys intrusive beings, even their souls, there are no consequences.
Li Xuanzu was one of the few beings who had met the Heavenly Dao and survived, and there were two of them.
For most people, this is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of; they'd be secretly thrilled to have seen one survive.
