Chapter 257 Ye Tingcun
Chapter 257
Lin Xia had no intention of letting that person go, after all, she had long seen through that person's attitude.
She has no plans to venture into his world for the time being; it's too dangerous for her, and who knows what other pitfalls await her.
At this moment, Lucius came to visit again.
“This time, I’m here representing ‘Nine Heavens’.” Lu Xiu spoke fluently this time, and his expression was very sincere.
"Nine Heavens is the most mysterious and powerful organization here, and it is also said to be the oldest organization. It is full of humans, and all of them are worlds that were descended upon by the 'system'."
"They have been dedicated to absorbing the worlds that have been 'descended' by the 'system' and also to saving those worlds. I joined 'Nine Heavens' because I was saved."
At this point, Lu Xiu remained silent for a long time. No one who has cultivated to this level is stupid. Of course, he discovered the loopholes, but being deeply involved, he clearly knew the power of 'Nine Heavens' and that he was powerless to resist.
Fortunately, Nine Heavens is not a truly evil organization. It has a high degree of freedom and is divided into two factions: one faction insists on developing its own world, while the other believes that plunder is the only way to protect its own world.
However, plundering is not allowed to be done to the point of exhaustion. It can nourish oneself and one's own world, but the Nine Heavens stipulate that the destruction of the world is not permitted.
Destroying the world will lead to being hunted down by the 'Nine Heavens'. Even if not hunted down, the pollution in one's spiritual body will increase day by day without weakening, eventually causing a mutation.
Their world was originally a world that firmly 'rejected plundering', but Zeng Bai and Zeng Zhi betrayed this concept. As it became increasingly difficult for them to improve their personal abilities, they chose to plunder the world of others.
Lin Xia's world was the first world they chose, and also the first world they collaborated with others in.
They were initially arrogant and had no intention of joining any organization, but Zeng Bai foolishly believed in the temptations of others, voluntarily revealing their location in the world and attracting the covetousness of others.
Zeng Zhi had always been incredibly kind to Zeng Bai. To prevent him from feeling guilty, she made him take the blame, and he, being a fool, actually agreed.
They joined the Nine Heavens to avoid being plundered.
Over the years, he had suffered countless taunts and ridicule from Zeng Bai because of this incident, but after losing his romantic mind, he finally realized that Zeng Bai wasn't unaware of the stupid things he had done; he was just pretending not to know.
Zeng Zhi may not have been unaware of this, but she chose to swallow her anger.
But many things, even if you don't admit it, are done once they've been done, and the cause-and-effect connection won't change just because of a few words.
Zeng Zhi may not have done anything subjectively, but she unconsciously did many things in order to help Zeng Bai cover it up.
Their cultivation levels had almost stagnated over the years; otherwise, they wouldn't have wanted to plunder other worlds.
How ridiculous! Their world's savior has become Lin Xia, and because Lin Xia doesn't like them, the cultivation techniques she teaches are only intermediate-level.
This slowed down their cultivation speed even more. The two complained about Lin Xia and coveted her cultivation techniques. However, no matter what, they could not attack Lin Xia, otherwise, the backlash would be unbearable for them.
From the beginning, Lu Xiu thought highly of Lin Xia, but he missed the opportunity to befriend her. For some reason, Lin Xia didn't have a good impression of him.
However, in the 'Nine Heavens', there are fewer and fewer people who can both protect themselves and help others. Although he is somewhat indecisive, he always believed that plunder is not the right path.
He felt that Lin Xia was someone he could trust in both her strength and character, not to mention that she was now the savior of his world.
After listening to Lu Xiu's explanation, Lin Xia nodded and asked Ji Wei to talk to him. She thought of Mu Xue and He Rui, whom she had met herself.
Their world is one of mutual fulfillment and mutual redemption. If there is anyone outside of this world that one can trust, it must be the two of them.
If He Rui could appear in the same combat zone as me, then his strength must be roughly equal to mine. I wonder if they are here.
There were many things that were confusing about time and uncertain for Lin Xia, and she didn't want to think about anything complicated right now.
Lin Xia also agreed to meet the level 4 player that Lucius mentioned.
In the lounge area, Lin Xia met him—Ye Tingcun.
The moment Lin Xia saw him, she knew he was very strong, much stronger than herself.
"As you might have guessed, 'Nine Heavens' is actually a screening and comparison organization. We are dedicated to collecting information from various post-apocalyptic worlds and also want to know the impact of each choice on the world and the spiritual beings."
"I also want to study whether there are any connections between the systems in different post-apocalyptic worlds."
Ye Tingcun was very frank and went straight to the point.
Lin Xia nodded, it was obvious: "Any results?"
Ye Tingcun smiled helplessly: "There is no such thing as a corrupt world. The consequences are quite obvious: either you are captured and used as an energy source, or you are completely devoured by the corrupt."
"Is it permissible to plunder energy from other people's worlds? Are there any side effects?"
"Yes, it involves plundering the energy of other worlds. There won't be any changes in the short term, but over time, the energy required to comprehend the rules will decrease, and cultivation will stagnate."
"If it is done with the world's permission, not only will you not suffer a backlash, but you will also increase your understanding and receive the world's blessing."
Lin Xia seemed to be deep in thought. She grasped all abilities as if they came naturally, she could understand them at a glance and she could figure them out as soon as she thought about them. She had always thought it was because of her mental power, but now it seemed that was not the case.
It's highly likely that her actions in the mission world influenced certain worlds and had a positive effect on her.
Thinking back on her several acts of saving lives, she had vaguely sensed something before, but now she realizes that from the very beginning, her personality or intuition had influenced her choices along the way.
The system did not interfere with her actions, which seemed to coincide with 'Nine Heavens'—as long as she could survive for ten days, it seemed that nothing she did would have any impact.
If what Jiutian wants to know is the impact of mental power users on the world, then the survival system is about how an individual's behavior affects the future.
Lin Xia had a feeling that the two were related, and was being a mental power user really a matter of talent?
Ye Tingcun had been observing Lin Xia. When he saw Lin Xia's appearance, his eyes flickered: "The people in your world are very determined. After nine days of contact, no important information has been leaked."
"Your performance is respectable enough, but being more open and honest might be better."
Lin Xia smiled and tightly controlled her mental energy: "If you want information about our world, there's nothing to be frank about. I have nothing to say."
Ye Tingcun: "I can exchange information; I am very interested in your world."
Lin Xia smiled indifferently: "What I want to know, I will always find out."
Ye Tingcun raised his eyebrows and smiled gently: "I hope you will consider it. I don't want to lay a hand on you; I don't think that's a good choice."
