"A mage without a faction?" After the communication ended, Lin Feng stared at the caravan gradually disappearing behind the hillside and murmured to himself.
"How about we expose me to the Empire?" Tang Hong suggested from the side. "We can take advantage of the participants' strengths, throw the problems at them, and then act when the opportunity arises."
Lin Feng was somewhat tempted. Merlin represented the will of the gods, and his appearance was inevitable. But what did he mean by teaching forbidden techniques to a mage without a faction?
They will not become believers in the gods because of this; it will only make things more chaotic. Or perhaps, it is Merlin's will that, under certain circumstances, has slightly broken free from the gods' constraints and made some outrageous moves.
"Don't rush... Even if they are really preparing to attack us, it won't be now." Lin Feng shook his head: "We are still missing some crucial information."
"Missing? What's missing?"
"To be precise, our understanding of this world is limited to the plot and information. We don't have a real point of convergence to understand the changes in this world." Lin Feng leaned against the rock behind him and looked at the scenery in the distance. He said, "How many times has this world cycled? What happened last time? What has become of the Green Cult, which recorded the situation of the last cycle?"
“Especially my mentor, is he and others also involved in this?”
"Therefore, maintaining the status quo and waiting to see what happens is in our best interest."
"Especially the gods of this world..."
The stance of those two gods in this world was what Lin Feng was most worried about. Just then, Tang Hong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly leaned over: "You were chosen to enter? Who is behind you? No, wait, which faction does the person behind you belong to?"
"I don't know. Apart from the initial introduction to the Nightmare Space..." Lin Feng continued, "He only gave me a Nightmare Invitation and said he would contact me when he had time after I passed the initial screening."
Tang Hong spent a long time in the nightmare space, so perhaps he knows something.
At this moment, Tang Hong suppressed his excitement: "The Nightmare Invitation! You've completed it?!"
Seeing the other person's expression, Lin Feng became somewhat interested. The other person might actually know something: "It's done. All three of us went."
"Hahahaha, interesting, very interesting." Upon hearing this, Tang Hong immediately jumped up: "Si'er was actually able to complete the Nightmare Invitation? No, no, even if he cracked his head, he couldn't possibly complete it. Did you help him?"
"The Nightmare Invitation will test a person from an unknown angle. It's not surprising that you passed it with your abilities, but Si'er might get trapped inside."
"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about what I know first. You should have already discovered that different people experience different worlds. If you have a target world but can't find a way to enter it, you can team up with other participants who have entered it and share the entrance to that world."
"To put it another way, new participants will bring new mission worlds into the Nightmare Space, giving past participants more options... You should have already thought that it's not just us who exist in the Nightmare Space, but also people from the previous era, and even people from an even more distant era!"
Seeing Lin Feng nod, Tang Hong immediately quickened his pace: "In Si'er's words, it means that the predecessors created a concept, and after the test of time, the successors continuously improved this system until it was fully blossomed. Then, the successors brought this perfect worldview into the Nightmare Space, and it blossomed again in their hands."
"The continuity of history also exists in the Nightmare Space..." Lin Feng thought for a moment, and the doubt in his eyes suddenly disappeared: "They have stronger strength, but they lack a stage. Now they and we have built this stage together."
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Tang Hong said solemnly. "Moreover, in terms of talent, they may not be inferior to us, especially the participants who have experienced countless forced mission worlds and possess Nightmare Invitations!"
"Just like experts in the ordinary world, as long as they are sent to a higher-level world, they will never have to worry about cultivation techniques. They can create top-level cultivation techniques just like them!"
"It can even create a nightmare invitation mission world that truly enhances the strength of participants!"
Lin Feng was immediately amazed. Forget about anything complicated, they must have a very considerable amount of Nightmare Points.
According to Louis, the guide might have some issues and needs someone to inherit his mission world. Judging from the Nightmare Invitation, this guide seems to have a hidden force behind him. It's just unknown what will happen when the other party finds him again.
However, let's address the immediate problem first...
Just then, they heard a sound rushing towards them. Lin Feng and Tang Hong immediately stood up and saw a humanoid demon that looked like a wheel rapidly approaching from afar.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Linggui pulled the blood-red longsword from the demon and shattered its soul.
As Lin Feng watched the blood-red longsword being returned to the Yin House Ghost Domain, his thoughts gradually returned to Candy Village. Since Cheng Dongyuan's death, the shadows surrounding Candy Village had disappeared, and the village had returned to its former peace.
The monster Little Red Riding Hood who stopped the Shadow Soldiers also went into hiding. According to the original plot, Little Red Riding Hood is directly related to Grimm, and taking her soul would at least allow us to find Grimm's whereabouts.
He had originally planned to do that, but after hearing that Merlin had appeared and taught forbidden magic to non-factional mages, he suddenly abandoned the idea.
Perhaps Green has long since perished.
Green's existence is disliked by the gods and rejected by the other two major factions, but as an entity that can restrain the two major factions, he will inevitably be quietly recognized by the Empire.
This is the balance of power. They might be able to obtain some information from the Empire, such as the tavern woman they encountered in the river town, or perhaps find something in this world that is tacitly accepted by both the gods and Grimm, like Lieblom's book.
If the Four Treasuries can find the right opportunity, these problems will become extremely easy for them.
Let's wait a little longer... There's plenty of time. That participant from the Evil Origin Path must be waiting for something too, otherwise things would have changed long ago.
Lin Feng's thoughts calmed down a little, and just as he was about to set off again in the direction Si Cang was currently in, a sharp gaze suddenly fell on him.
who?
Following the direction of the gaze, an intense killing intent permeated the invisible air, transforming into illusory dragon shapes that stirred the grass and trees as the air suddenly shifted.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
He was an old man with a tall and straight figure, white beard and white hair, wearing a light blue martial arts outfit that shone with a jade-like light, holding a green bamboo stick in his hand, and his aura was so powerful that it easily caused changes in the world.
"You know him?" Tang Hong frowned.
Lin Feng's gaze turned serious, and he slightly opened his mouth: "I don't recognize him... He should be a character from the mission world."
"A martial arts master..." Tang Hong explained, "...is a participant from another team..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man's figure left afterimages on the ground, and he raised a powerful palm, appearing in front of Lin Feng like a swimming dragon.
boom!
Tang Hong, wearing boxing gloves, stood in front of them. The suppressed aura between the two exploded a few seconds later, creating a series of fierce hurricanes.
"Old man, aren't you going to say hello?"
Two pairs of eyes met between the gloves, and the rising buzzing energy in Tang Hong's hand bit into the old man's arm, creating a visible airburst.
Seeing this, the old man had no desire to speak. He continuously tapped the bamboo stick in his hand, channeling his powerful energy into Tang Hong's wrist, easily deflecting the attack. But the next second, the explosive shockwave struck the old man's body from the side, pulling him into Tang Hong's long-planned trap.
"boom!"
The second punch landed hard on the old man's chest, sending him flying dozens of meters.
