Chapter 742: Chapter 737: Hell Scroll
"Yanyan is right."
Master Bo Xuan stroked his beard with praise, then said, "Actually, I’m not sure if my calculations are accurate, or if all the variables were considered during divination. Since ancient times, the heavens have been inscrutable, and sometimes the slightest error can lead to a thousand miles off course. You needn’t overthink it; just keep a steady heart."
Venerable Envoy Liu smirked, "Junior sister may not be able to keep a steady heart..." and received a glare from Li Yan in response.
Li Yan spoke up, "Master, it seems Gangxin has already taken some detours."
She explained that Bai Pu, aside from learning the "Viewing the Sea" Composite Mystical Arts, had also studied the Red Flame Mystical Arts and the Gang Wind Mystical Arts and then continued:
"Gangxin even asked me how to advance the Red Flame Mystical Arts and Gang Wind Mystical Arts to Top Grade..."
Venerable Envoy Liu clicked his tongue in amazement, "This boy’s ambitions seem quite wild. Aren’t he afraid that learning too many conventional mystical arts would prevent him from understanding the Special System Mystical Arts? That would surely stop him from reaching the Upper Three Grades.
"Junior sister, you must have seriously admonished this boy at the time, right?"
"No... I told him."
Li Yan pursed her lips, ignoring Venerable Envoy Liu’s surprise, "He insisted, what could I do? Besides, with his current clearance, obtaining related knowledge is quite easy, though it takes some more time."
"What should we do? I’m increasingly thinking Master miscalculated; this boy’s true intent path seems like a false bubble... I hope he doesn’t end up with nothing." Venerable Envoy Liu mumbled.
...
Gaia Building, AM-237.
This is the room number assigned to Bai Pu by the Gaia Group.
Inside, the space is vast, with a separate bedroom, study, and bathroom, even a small kitchen.
In the Inner City District, owning such a house is a dream for countless workers.
This is merely a benefit for Bai Pu as a "Preparatory Core Member."
If Bai Pu advances to Evolver, becoming a core member, or even an Extraordinary Seed, the benefits would be tenfold, a hundredfold.
Of course, in reality, the house serves merely to shelter the physical body.
For the people of the Silver Heart Continent, even if the house is smaller, just immersing in the 100% realistic "Virtual World" of the Gaia Network is enough, allowing them to completely forget the crampedness of reality.
Bai Pu logged into the Gaia Network using his Major General Gaia identity and found that his clearance had increased significantly.
His virtual island in the Gaia Network, originally just a tiny piece, had now expanded a hundredfold, a thousandfold, virtually becoming a small continent.
On this virtual continent, Bai Pu could not only freely create terrain and buildings; due to his increased clearance, he could even generate flora and fauna.
This would occupy more Calculation Power of the Gaia Network, thus requiring higher clearance.
Bai Pu visited the Gaia Library again and found that he could now communicate with others. And, regarding his main concern about borrowing books, there was no longer any download limit.
Bai Pu restrained the urge to dive headfirst into the ocean of books and immerse himself in new knowledge.
"First, handle a few urgent matters."
Bai Pu took out a piece of parchment from Storage Space, pricked his fingertip, and wrote a "name" on it: Discarding and Letting Go. At the same time, he imagined the target’s appearance in his mind.
The name Discarding and Letting Go turned into a line of blood, seeping into the parchment. Then the bloodline delineated, slowly revealing a cold young man’s half-body image on the parchment.
The young man had his eyes closed, sharp brows, as if exuding a sharp aura.
Suddenly, the blood-lined young man on the parchment opened his eyes and locked gazes with Bai Pu.
"Nice to meet you, Master Discarding and Letting Go. I am Gangxin."
"I know you."
Discarding and Letting Go slightly furrowed his brows, "Didn’t those people tell you my Gaia Mark number? You even had to waste a Hell Scroll."
"Master Discarding and Letting Go also has a Gaia Mark number?" Bai Pu said in surprise.
Having a Gaia Mark definitely meant being a Gaia Will Official General.
However, as the "Master of the Primordial Planet," Bai Pu was supposed to be Earth’s first Official General.
Discarding and Letting Go said, "I obtained the Golden Military Rank after becoming an Ascension Evolver, thereby passing Major General Gaia’s trial. For those like me who joined at the Evolver stage, we don’t qualify to create a Planet-level Starship."
"I see."
Bai Pu nodded and then explained, "I am currently on the Silver Heart Continent, and contacting Earth is very troublesome. Transmitting information costs much more than a National Destiny Artifact ’Hell Scroll.’ So, I had no choice but to contact you, Master Discarding and Letting Go. Since you have a Gaia Mark, it makes things easier; we can exchange Gaia Mark numbers."
"I have your number, Silver Heart 650116, right? Mine is Silver Heart 634008."
Discarding and Letting Go shook his head, speaking with resignation, "I should have contacted you first, saving you the trouble. I wanted to wait until we made progress in negotiations with the Burning Ash Organization before informing you."
After pausing, Discarding and Letting Go said, "You approached me; is there something you need?"
"It’s like this... I joined the Gaia Group and am now a ’Preparatory Core Member,’" Bai Pu communicated simply.
Discarding and Letting Go nodded slightly: "This at least ensures your survival on the Silver Heart Continent. Within the Five Great Cities’ territory, you needn’t worry about the Burning Ash Organization targeting you. However, this doesn’t significantly improve Earth’s situation. Being a Preparatory Core Member doesn’t equal being a Core Member. You need to advance to Evolver to truly be considered an adult on the Silver Heart Continent; otherwise, you’re just a child."
Bai Pu nodded. This point was made clear to him by the two Venerable Envoys as well.
"I don’t plan to rush into advancing to Evolver," Bai Pu expressed his thoughts. "I want to cultivate my True Intent Prototype to the utmost before considering stepping into the Ascension Plane."
Discarding and Letting Go did not object, saying, "You’re right in your thinking. Hastily advancing to Evolver with a True Intent Prototype of low grade severely restricts your potential, marginalizing you within the Gaia Group. There are so many Core Members, naturally ranked by level, among them many prominent Red Race individuals; ultimately, you’ll struggle to protect Earth."
The Gaia Group is a Transcendent Power that accepts members regardless of origin or race, as long as one meets the condition of being a "Gaia Official General."
Take Quentin, for example, born of the Burning Ash Organization and simultaneously a Major General Gaia, naturally could join the Gaia Group.
So, even if Bai Pu becomes an Evolver and achieves the status of Core Member, what of it? With a low True Intent Level and limited potential, he wouldn’t gain attention from the Gaia Group’s upper echelon, leaving him voiceless within the group.
Only by cultivating a high-grade True Intent, proving his potential, can Bai Pu garner attention from the group’s leadership and thereby secure protection, ultimately safeguarding Earth, this mother planet.
