Chapter 1096: Chapter 57: Just the Beginning
"I feel like giving this thing to me is like throwing a wink to a blind person."
Wen Yu stroked the box beside him, his tone full of emotion.
"This is a good item, truly it is, but honestly, even if you give it to me, I can’t use it. I can’t spend time researching the usages of Number One because compared to such external things, I still believe more in my own strength. You giving this thing to me is really, as good as throwing pearls before swine..."
Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Bai chuckled and knocked on the box twice with a ’thump-thump’: "Actually, no one is more suited to be Number One’s owner than you."
...
"Firstly, this thing doesn’t belong to a tool."
Bai’s first explanation stunned Wen Yu for a moment, then Wen Yu turned his head towards Number One, his eyes suddenly bursting with bright brilliance.
If it doesn’t belong to a tool...
"That’s right, he has the characteristics of a living being; in other words, Number One can be contracted by a Soul Master!"
Bai’s definite answer made Wen Yu immediately squint his eyes. A nascent world heart... If contracted...
After a while, Wen Yu still shook his head.
"The combat power increase isn’t high, there’s no practical use. Even if it’s contracted, it’s just wasting one Soul Realm space for me, still of no value."
"What if he can evolve into a complete world?"
Bai’s next sentence successfully piqued Wen Yu’s interest.
"If he can evolve into a complete world... then this value becomes immense!"
With the Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill in hand, Wen Yu once fantasized about controlling Earth in his grasp. Of course, the difficulty breaks the sky, but if contracted with Number One, nurturing a complete world from zero... Even if the process may be unimaginably long, at least there’s hope; using one Soul Realm space to gamble for a complete world, Wen Yu can afford the bet!
"As long as this item is placed in soil without world consciousness, it will slowly awaken, then grow strong. Sooner or later, he will grow into a world capable of nurturing life. How about it? Quite tempting, right?"
Bai said with a smile to Wen Yu. Naturally, Wen Yu nodded, but then Wen Yu reacted.
"Soil without world consciousness... In other words, Earth itself won’t do, but the atmosphere is locked up, and I can’t find such a thing. Moreover, in terms of Number One’s essence, if the soil is too small, there’s no strategic value, and the required time might be counted in billions. This way, Number One remains practically useless."
"No... actually, there will soon be extremely excellent materials."
At this, Bai paused for a moment, gently stomped his foot.
"What do you think about the land beneath our feet?"
After Bai spoke, Wen Yu’s breathing halted, his eyes suddenly bursting with bright brilliance.
"You mean, the tiered battleground?"
...
"The appearance of the tiered battleground is inevitable. With your strength, if you exert fully on Earth, the destruction would breach everyone’s psychological limits. As long as the physical quality surpasses millions and there’s a bit of savvy, nobody would exert their full power on Earth’s native soil. Now, it’s only Level 6, and the apocalypse is not even seven years past. The later the time drags, the more numerous and the higher the quality of experts will become. When it truly reaches Level 10, mere Earth Lord won’t endure such high-intensity battle."
"Your current combat capabilities are approximately equivalent to the immortals of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, um, put in a more appropriate saying, this caliber of fellow can be called Star-annihilating Level. Blowing up a planet barehanded isn’t a joke; you feel it too, right?"
Wen Yu remained silent for a long time, and still nodded. Not to mention Wen Yu, even five years ago, during the capture of Tang Haofei by Wen Yu, the chaotic battle between Tang Haofei and Faceless had already brought unimaginable calamity to the Australian Continent. Nearly one-tenth of Australia’s soil is still a wasteland now. This too was because both people still retained a bit of reason. Otherwise, the mere aftermath of their battle would be enough to destroy a continent. Five years later, now is more straightforward; if Wen Yu desires, it’s enough to destroy the entire world by his own power!
Star-annihilating as it truly is.
"In response to this situation, the Dominator will certainly arrange a tiered battleground, the Heavenly Palace being thusly. Its soil’s tolerance will far exceed the planet’s body, possibly even having self-recovery ability, like the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. In the final battle when the Heavenly Palace was breached, the native world shattered and destroyed, yet the Heavenly Palace remained intact. Oh, a further reminder, the appearance of the tiered battleground isn’t predicated on levels, but on combat capability. Universe of Immortals and Heroes had its tiered battleground appear at Level 5; um, during the first sequence member-ranking battle..."
After Wen Yu finished listening, he fell silent immediately.
The tiered battleground of Earth, it should have already appeared.
"Though it’s not considered late now, just lacking five years of construction time; this aspect doesn’t have a major issue."
Upon hearing Bai’s words, Wen Yu immediately revealed a bitter smile: "Afraid it will drag a bit longer."
"Drag? No need to drag... What you’re worried about is none other than Tang Haofei; now, there’s no worry, Tang Haofei has been released."
Bai spoke nonchalantly, ignoring Wen Yu’s startled expression as if chatting about family affairs.
"Bringing you here this time, the first purpose is to hand you Number One, the second is that Earth’s consciousness doesn’t trust you, wanting to release Tang Haofei to counterbalance you. Um, in other words, this is a conspiracy; you’ve been trapped."
"Also the secret that you and Tang Haofei are reborners is about to be made everyone known by Earth’s consciousness. Tang Haofei is a piece of Dominator’s chess game; you, undoubtedly Demon Lord. Guess what Dominator thinks knowing this."
"Sending Treasure Land Protector to kill you is minor; that fellow isn’t a good thing, might crush you with a finger’s flick. Don’t be assured by your recent feast, living a cozy life; danger has never left."
"Besides Earth’s consciousness, I don’t know what’s going on in your world. Logically speaking, Earth shouldn’t produce self-awareness at this point, there’re some other hiccups; um, probably about rebirth. Giving you a tip, never imagine yourself too important. For a planet, lifeforms living upon it are like parasites on human skin, good as they may be, bad as they may be, ultimately just some collateral products; never presume you’re fighting on its behalf. Actually, a planet’s consciousness has far more choices than you, be careful, Earth’s consciousness now exhibits great anomaly."
"And Demigod, that fellow, you know Yanjing’s Protector God, right? You’ve underestimated Demigod; that fellow is very terrifying, shrewd, intelligence, even strength is top-notch. Oh, supposedly he’s Lin Haifeng’s son named Lin Kuangliu; you know him, right?"
After Bai finished, he eyed Wen Yu, seeing Wen Yu’s eyes from astonishment to bewilderment, then settling into serenity, finally calm.
"Why tell me these things?"
Wen Yu didn’t immediately act, instead countering with a question.
"It’s about position; I have my stance. This collaboration with Earth’s consciousness has its purpose too; frankly speaking, compared to that side, you here offer me greater help. Um, you not acting immediately indicates you probably understand me."
"This world isn’t black and white; just because I stand opposed doesn’t mean I’m your enemy, and likewise friends aren’t always friends, enemies aren’t always enemies. I have my ideas, my thoughts, here..."
Bai pointed at the surrounding walls of the secret treasury.
"It can isolate any perception, in other words, you can’t sense the outside, nor can the outside sense inside. This environment is very suitable for discussing some secret matters."
"Such as what you just told me?"
"No, that’s just the beginning..."
