Just as Ren Lao thought, Qin Sheng indeed did not focus his mind on the battle.
Instead, he was organizing the current intelligence in his mind and pondering the current predicament.
To sum it up, Qin Sheng's situation is currently very bad.
On the surface, he is invincible, with countless followers of the Creation Cult, as well as potions provided by the system. He also controls a city and can do whatever he wants in the future.
But it was all an illusion.
The key to all of this lies in the system.
It appears that Qin Sheng controls the Creation Cult and its followers, but in reality, that is a function of the system.
Even Qin Sheng himself, after taking the drug, could be controlled and monitored by the system.
Qin Sheng had already sold himself to the system like a cultist!
The system hasn't shown itself yet simply because the results of this experiment haven't been released yet.
That's right, Qin Sheng still believes that Blue Star is an experiment, and the purpose of the experiment is not power and wisdom, but rules that go beyond both!
Qin Sheng was the only guinea pig in this experiment, used to study how to master the rules.
The system is like a navigator, guiding him along this path and constantly monitoring him, recording data, and preventing accidents.
As someone who frequently uses mice in his research, Qin Sheng was well aware of the fate of the mice after the experiment.
But now he has no choice but to move forward, because the results are the same for mice that fail in the experiment and mice that succeed!
Under the system's surveillance, Qin Sheng couldn't even think of a countermeasure, let alone turn the tide.
This is Qin Sheng's current situation: a dead end in front of him and a dead end behind him, and he has no right to choose which path to take.
We've reached a dead end...
The situation is now clear. Now let's talk about when Qin Sheng began to have doubts.
Previously, Qin Sheng guessed that this was an experiment aimed at testing strength and intelligence, and that he was the variable.
But I've also wondered if I really will be that variable.
At the very least, if he were to conduct the experiment himself, he would definitely keep a close eye on the progress to prevent any unexpected events and make timely adjustments.
Would intelligent life forms that use the entire Earth as a testing ground make such a simple mistake?
However, at the time, Qin Sheng was busy researching the Extreme Realm and considering how to deal with Cao Guangxing, so he didn't think much about it.
This situation continued until Hope was dealt with and the existence of the Anomaly was learned.
This brought his lingering doubts back to the surface.
After all, there is no time difference when the alien beasts respawn, not even a second.
There must be a mastermind behind this, constantly monitoring this place, and the subsequent situation of the beast cubs further confirms this.
How could an intelligent life form capable of monitoring all the alien beasts in the world not have noticed this prominent cult leader?
variable?
It doesn't exist!
He realized that he was the guinea pig in the experiment.
In fact, it was the only lab rat!
That night, Qin Sheng pondered: if, as he predicted, he was not a variable but merely a link in the experiment, then what was the purpose of the experiment?
He racked his brains and concluded that the only purpose of creating an anomaly and using Earth as an experimental site was probably to establish rules!
Qin Sheng has no evidence to prove that the rules are the goal, but if he assumes that mastering the rules is the goal, then there is evidence everywhere.
First and foremost is the system. If the other party's goal is to master the rules, then the system acts as a navigator, guiding Qin Sheng onto this path.
After all, once Qin Sheng had researched the extreme realm and sensed some of the rules, the system intentionally or unintentionally guided him to study the rules.
This is not unfounded speculation, after all, the only six-star trait, Dragon Abyss Suppressing Realm, is referred to by the system as the pinnacle of traits.
Qin Sheng guessed at the time that above the six-star characteristics, there were probably rules.
Both are at the extreme level, but as a six-star characteristic, Dragon Abyss Realm Suppression does not need to condense into a domain to form a complete form; it already has the ability to govern and suppress life forms with bloodline levels lower than its own indiscriminately.
The formation of the condensed domain merely strengthens this aspect; compared to other five-star characteristics, there is no substantial change.
The system's evaluation gradually began to imply that the realm beyond the extremes was the realm of rules!
This does not prove that the system and the anomaly are in cahoots; after all, there are three thousand paths to the same destination.
Perhaps the system simply wants to guide Qin Sheng onto the path of rules.
What truly made Qin Sheng doubt the system was Taotie.
He had previously tested the system's rank, which surpassed the human race's fortune, but it was no match for... Taotie.
Because the system needs time to create the potion that combines the five extreme states, the Taotie can directly swallow, digest, and control it by relying on its special characteristics.
Among them is the six-star characteristic that touches the edge of the rules, Dragon Abyss Suppressing the Realm.
Therefore, Taotie has probably mastered the rule called Devouring, and even those in the Dragon Abyss Town who come close to the edge of the rule can be quickly digested.
The reason he mastered the rules was probably the same as the Azure Dragon's Dragon Abyss Realm Suppression—it was something he was born with.
There is another explanation: the system needs time to integrate with Qin Sheng, and the Taotie itself has the characteristics to withstand this, so it can digest it quickly.
This made Qin Sheng wonder if he was being paranoid.
However, the recent pauses in the system confirmed to Qin Sheng that its rank was even lower than that of the Taotie!
When Qin Sheng was studying the formation of the condensed domain, all five extreme realms had formed incomplete rules. After the experiment ended, the system paused, as if it had frozen.
Later, when the battle with Hope ended, a large number of rules spread, causing the system's call to lag once again.
Guess what Qin Sheng did immediately after going all out?
I tried to activate the system, but it didn't respond!
Rules, even flawed ones, can interfere with the operation of a system if there are enough of them!
This directly proves that the system has not yet truly entered the realm of rules!
Even so, a gluttonous beast with the rules of devouring in its bloodline was able to be given sentience by the system, an entity that had never entered the realm of rules.
Is this reasonable?
These contradictions have proven that there are definitely some problems with the system.
This is also why Qin Sheng traveled a long way to seek out Master Ren for a duel.
They came with doubts about the system to verify their own conjectures.
If there really was a problem with the system, the other side would have noticed it when we were sorting through the intelligence just now.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
If there is a problem with the system, it will not sit idly by when it realizes that Qin Sheng has already realized it, but will definitely correct the experiment.
If he's lucky, Qin Sheng might not die, but he's not going to gamble that the other person is easy to talk to.
Perhaps Qin Sheng was being overly cautious, but in the current situation, the only way to convince the system or the mastermind behind the scenes is to believe that the experiment is proceeding normally.
Only then could he find a glimmer of hope in this seemingly unsolvable predicament!
