Chapter 277 The Frontline
Chapter 277
Lin Xia did indeed want to explore what had happened in the past, to find the current rules, and the ways and places in which they existed.
We'll discuss all of this once she figures out what's happening in their world.
Lin Xia looked at the game panel, very interested in the past of Blue Star. Was such a feat accomplished by one person or by many people?
But regardless of how many people were involved, they all contributed to the Blue Star we know today. She thought that even without the Ocean System causing trouble first, many people on Blue Star would awaken in the near future and embark on the path of cultivation.
However, the path of cultivation is certainly not as dangerous and bloody as it is. As it develops, it gradually evolves from a technological society into one where technology and cultivation develop together.
Such a smooth change must have been a route laid out for them by their ancestors, but unfortunately, it was all destroyed by the giant tree.
Lin Xia felt ashamed when she recalled the momentary feeling of resistance she had when she saw the giant tree; she really shouldn't have thought that way.
Looking at the [Time Travel] button on the game panel, and thinking that there was nothing urgent for the time being, he told Ji Wei and prepared to leave.
Ji Wei immediately said urgently, "Mu Xue sent a message that their world is somewhat out of control. Liu Ying seems to have reappeared, and she wants you to go and take a look."
"Take me with you!" Ji Wei said very quickly.
Lin Xia grabbed Ji Wei and immediately teleported over.
As soon as she arrived, Lin Xia noticed something unusual: light green raindrops were falling from the sky, landing in every corner of the world, causing all the plants and animals in the world to become unusually restless.
Even though some powerful beings intercepted some of the raindrops, the unusual rain still fell in many places.
Ji Wei immediately took action, imprisoning all the rain, but the rain continued to fall, and a large patch of dark green liquid quickly gathered in mid-air.
With a wave of her hand, Mu Xue sent large swathes of liquid into the alternate dimension.
Lin Xia saw that all the rainwater came from an unknown space. Even after exploring, she couldn't find its location and couldn't open a gap in that space.
No wonder Mu Xue asked for help. These raindrops came from a strange source, clearly indicating a higher level of existence, which even Lin Xia couldn't detect.
She and Ji Wei then joined forces to intercept all the falling rain. After a stalemate that lasted for an unknown period of time, the rain finally stopped.
"Ancestor Mu, the test results have arrived."
Mu Xue glanced at it and handed it to Lin Xia, while Ji Wei leaned over to take a look.
These rainwaters contain strong, unknown components that are highly compatible with animals, making them prone to mutations. Plants, however, react more slowly, though they still do.
This is very similar to the actions of those organizations dedicated to changing the fate of the Orcs.
However, they only acted in a clandestine manner, not daring to show their true forms. It seems that the changes in their world have made those people hesitant and afraid to act openly anymore.
It could also be a further test. In either case, it's safe for now, but it has slowed Lin Xia down.
After all, she didn't know how long it would take to return from this "time travel".
"Fortunately, the interception was timely. It's not easy for such a quantity to cause an animal to mutate. However, the coordinates were exposed, and such incidents may be difficult to prevent in the future." Ji Wei said with worry in his eyes.
It turns out that their world used to be relatively 'safe,' and the giant tree played a significant role in that. Now that it's gone, all sorts of cats and dogs have come looking for them.
"Yes, it's not the thief you should be afraid of, it's the thief who's eyeing you." Mu Xue frowned deeply and clenched her fists: "Our strength is still too weak."
"We also need to be wary of 'ball traitors,' lest they ruin things." Ji Wei pointed below, where someone was secretly and furtively collecting the liquid.
Mu Xue waved her hand in annoyance, taking away all the liquids he had collected: "I really don't understand what these people are thinking."
Ji Wei shrugged. There are people like that everywhere. She's used to it. It's always good to be on guard.
"We need to get He Rui to step up his game," Lin Xia pointed out the key point.
Mu Xue nodded: "He was most likely teleported to the 'front line,' where it's said to be very difficult to pass. I only found out about this after I arrived at the 'colosseum.'"
“He was teleported directly away from the Void Battlefield. I heard that people who leave like that are teleported to the front lines.”
Upon hearing the word 'front line', Lin Xia's heart stirred slightly. She thought of the place where she met He Rui; that must be the 'front line'.
"Why is it called the front line?" Lin Xia asked.
"It is said that all these invading monsters poured out of a black hole, which is the front line."
"When anyone grows strong enough to fight against the void, whether human or beastman, they are very likely to be teleported there. As for when, that depends on the individual."
"Some people may cultivate to a very high level and not be teleported away, while others are teleported away as soon as they meet the requirements."
"People usually call such people 'cannon fodder' because they don't live long. But there is one exception: those with mental strength."
"It's said that many psychic power users are only teleported after they've 'become gods,' so I don't know why He Rui was teleported so early..."
Mu Xue's brows were furrowed with worry. He Rui's fate concerned the entire world, which was why those with spiritual power were always the last to be teleported.
If we wait for the next person with spiritual power to be trained and grow up, how long will that take? That's exactly what they need most right now!
“Before I became a god, I went to the ‘front line’ once and passed by He Rui. He seemed pretty good,” Lin Xia admitted.
Mu Xue's eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"
Seeing Lin Xia nod, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was still alive, so she was probably out of danger. Mental power users were all extremely powerful.
She glanced at Lin Xia. Of course, Lin Xia was the most powerful. At that time, they hadn't spent much time together. He Rui was able to control supernatural energy, so they all thought that all mental power users were like Lin Xia.
But He Rui later discovered that this was not the case at all; he had many types of superpowers that he simply could not control.
As his strength grew, he gradually mastered the use of some supernatural energy.
However, to date, the energy of all systems has not been fully mastered.
Hearing what Mu Xue said to her through telepathy, Lin Xia nodded. She later discovered that not all mental power users could master all supernatural energies, which is why she stopped using other types of energy later on.
It turns out that they gradually came to understand and master it.
Lin Xia kept her doubts to herself, thinking that perhaps it was simply because she was talented.
"I found out that once you've been to the 'front lines,' you'll be teleported once a month. If the fighting gets intense, you might be teleported every two weeks."
"The mortality rate there is extremely high; it's known as the 'meat grinder.' It's said that some people are just unlucky enough to encounter powerful monsters that shouldn't be on this battlefield."
"So be careful when you go there." Ji Wei cautiously reminded Lin Xia, "Seventh Sister, your time should be coming soon, so please be careful."
After exchanging information for a while, Lin Xia decided to go to the 'Colosseum' first. Ji Wei also wanted to go. The two said goodbye to Mu Xue and returned directly to the 'Colosseum'.
Lin Xia had just arrived when she received a message from Ye Tingcun.
At that time, when I heard Ye Tingcun's views, I felt that they made a lot of sense and that this kind of research was indeed worth investing in.
But at the moment she 'became a god,' when she thought back to Ye Tingcun's views, she just felt that he was fooling idiots.
Those things will naturally become clear after one becomes a god. Ye Tingcun was clearly studying the creators of each world.
The reason for accepting spiritual beings from every world is simply because they are the closest to the Creator and the most likely to get close to the Creator.
Or rather, of all the 'gods' who could approach the Creator and whom he could control, the one most easily controlled was the one he could control.
He said that taking in people with spiritual power was like raising a venomous insect, and he was indeed raising a venomous insect to select those who would become gods.
He became a god before he was controlled, and he didn't know what the other party wanted to do.
"You are better than I imagined."
Lin Xia smiled politely upon hearing Ye Tingcun's words.
Ye Tingcun was silent for a moment, then looked up and appeared much more sincere: "Don't you want to investigate?"
Lin Xia shook her head. She really didn't want to. In her view, what is a creator? To give an example, if a person is a universe, then the cells in her body are planets.
These people are just insignificant individuals on this planet.
They gaze at the stars, they cultivate themselves upwards, do the universe care about anything they think about? She felt it didn't.
Cells are constantly being renewed, with death and rebirth happening every moment. They are parasites on the cells and are not taken seriously.
Those cells that want to devour other cells are like cancer cells in the body. Cancer cells have only one fate: to be eliminated!
Can cells survive outside of space? She didn't know, but it was highly likely they couldn't.
Once your cells leave your body, they can only be excreted as waste. You want to jump out? Your creator could kill you with a single breath.
Moreover, no matter how hard you cultivate, the Creator is the ceiling; even if you jump, you can't reach half of the ceiling.
Everyone says that once you become a god, you can create worlds. Lin Xia also has a feeling that she can create worlds at any time, but she is unwilling because she feels that her strength is too weak.
If a person is powerful enough to create a world, then the world they create exists within their own body.
It's like a nesting doll...
Let's not even talk about whether you can overturn the world you live in. Even if you're strong enough to do so, what then? Keep overturning it? That's true despair.
It's despairing to even think about, and completely unnecessary.
These are Lin Xia's thoughts and feelings. She feels that Ye Tingcun is doing useless work. Wouldn't it be better to let go of those useless things and focus on yourself?
Spiritual practice is a personal matter. Why do you have to investigate your creator? You already know there is a creator, yet you still think you are the chosen one?
No, the chosen one is just an insignificant role in someone else's cells. Sometimes, it's also important to understand yourself.
Lin Xia no longer felt a significant difference in strength between herself and Ye Tingcun, which meant she had caught up.
There's no need to play games with him; just shake your head and refuse.
Ye Tingcun raised an eyebrow: "So lacking in ambition?"
Ambitious? Or is it a suicidal mentality?
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together." Lin Xia said politely.
Ye Tingcun nodded: "You may not yet know how treacherous this world is..."
Lin Xia's eyes widened in surprise; of course, she already knew: "Do you know about the origins of those beastmen?"
Ye Tingcun remained seated with composure and nodded: "Of course, their organization is also here. They are dedicated to liberating all beastmen and are very troublesome."
"Moreover, they have no bottom line when it comes to their methods. If it weren't for the intervention of your 'gods,' I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to deter them." A hint of regret flashed in Ye Tingcun's eyes.
This is also why many people dare not make a move. You must know that the giant tree is a behemoth that spans many universes and has not been subdued.
It is incredibly adept at hiding itself. Its true form rarely appears in public; it always controls its puppets. Even if you destroy many puppets, it will not suffer any damage.
Its true form appeared this time, and it was subdued without anyone noticing, which amazed everyone and showed them its strength.
Even though the giant tree has been subdued this time, everyone is still watching and waiting, feeling that it still has a backup plan. Facing such an enemy, everyone is waiting to see what happens next.
"The giant tree has many puppets and clones, so you need to be careful," Ye Tingcun warned, knowing that this would be easy to find out with a little inquiry.
"You can contact me if you need anything." Ye Tingcun nodded politely before leaving.
Lin Xia returned to her room and saw that her level had automatically increased to level 5, and all functions were now unlocked.
Lin Xia selected many useful items and placed them in the Survival System Shop. People had finished their selections, and many chose to continue playing the game.
They were all quite strong individuals, and some even went in teams. Lin Xia increased the points required to complete the game's level and made the items redeemable with points.
Each item is limited in quantity; it's all about who's quick.
In order to improve everyone's strength as quickly as possible, Lin Xia spared no effort in utilizing the energy, since converting it into strength was a good use of it.
Fortunately, the items here are the same as those given by the original system, which saves everyone the trouble of getting used to them again.
Because everyone's strength is now very high and there is no longer the pressure of dying at any time, Lin Xia had Xie Cheng set up many rules to regulate everyone's actions.
If things don't go according to plan, Lin Xia doesn't even dare to imagine what they might do. Unless they don't come back, they have to abide by the rules.
This is not only for the sake of the people in the world they are going to, but also for the sake of their own world. Positive energy can promote development, for both the world and themselves.
Making mistakes can lead to contamination at any time. If there is too much contamination, the spirit can never be freed and upgrading becomes almost impossible unless one completely falls into depravity.
Once you fall, you are no longer yourself, and being devoured is almost an inevitable fate.
Lin Xia explained all of this very clearly in the regulations. If you're not afraid of the consequences, you're welcome to give it a try.
Those who are still alive today are almost all people with clear minds and bodies, and they must have some insights.
People have a love-hate relationship with the survival system, fearing a repeat of the ocean system incident, but it brings too many benefits.
