"When someone is killed, they die. It's an ancient truth. Why should we, as transmigrators, be an exception?"
Li Zheng shook his head and said to Ye Kai and the others, "We shouldn't project the experiences of novel protagonists onto ourselves. Whether we survive depends on our own efforts. Of course, I won't sit idly by. If I find a way back someday, I'll definitely take you all with me!"
"Going back... You take them." Chu Xiao spoke up, "My parents died in a car accident a few years ago, and I only had my sister with me. Now that she's gone, what's there for me to do if I go back? I'd rather stay here, at least here I can find some value in my existence."
"Don't you want to go back and take a look?" Ye Yuan asked, "Isn't there a setting where transmigrators die and return to their original world resurrected? Maybe your sister, after dying in this world, has actually returned to Earth?"
"No! That's a very low probability!" Ye Kai said seriously, "Li Zheng just said we can't project novel protagonists' experiences onto ourselves. Similarly, we can't randomly insert bizarre setups. If he takes it seriously, wouldn't he be constantly thinking about seeking death? What if dying really means true death with no way back?
Remember, when they transmigrated, they didn't see any information we provided, even a little bit. Do you think, given both our personalities, we'd hold back from bragging online if we were to transmigrate back?
You definitely couldn't hold back."
Ye Yuan listened, annoyed, and clenched her small fists, baring her teeth.
But thinking it over, she felt her brother was right, so she reluctantly retracted her fists, "You're right... But doesn't that mean we're doomed to die here?"
"No one in life escapes death, dying of old age is also death." Ye Kai shook his head and said, "I have a pessimistic view on us being able to transmigrate back. Maybe we'll have to stay here for the rest of our lives."
"Who can say what the future holds?" Li Zheng interjected, "Let's put aside whether we can go back for now, there are more pressing matters that need attention."
He explained the crisis of the Emotion Storm briefly, and Ye Kai and the others listened in silence.
"Alright, I take back what I said earlier." Ye Kai said sadly, "Sis, we might really end up here, be prepared."
Ye Yuan cursed miserably, "Damn it, the hot weapons in that Sin Domain are really weakened? Doesn't that mean my brother and I's cheat powers are crippled?"
One was a master of firearms, the other a mechanical modification expert, and their primary means of attack were hot weapons. In the Sin Domain, their strength dropped by ninety percent, barely stronger than an ordinary person.
"Haha!" Chu Xiao was smug, "Luckily my forte is Genetic Ability with high defense, much stronger than you two."
"Hmph!" Ye Yuan turned her head angrily, not wanting to look at him.
Just a moment ago, she was proud of her stronger cheat power, but now the tables had turned, and she was seen as useless.
"As the saying goes, I am born with talent, surely it will be used. Who says just because you can't enter Sin Domain, you are useless?" Li Zheng looked at Ye Kai and Ye Yuan with a mysterious gaze, "There's a place where you can really showcase your skills."
"Where?" Ye Kai immediately asked.
"The Wilderness!"
"The Wilderness?!"
Ye Yuan asked, "Are you talking about the territories of those with red names?"
"That's right!" Li Zheng said solemnly, "Wilderness residents are brutal and ruthless. To surpass the limits of Spiritual Power, they've even researched a method to graft others' Spiritual Realms onto themselves, causing countless Outer City residents to suffer from Soul Loss.
The main offender is an organization called Celestial Will, and based on the information I have so far, its leader is suspected to be a clone, like me."
"Do you mean a clone of Li Zheng or someone else's clone?" Ye Kai didn't understand.
"According to a survivor who escaped, the person is named Li Zheng." Li Zheng said gravely, "I suspect the terminal confiscated the Genetic Potion production lines and cloning technology to prevent cloned individuals like him from rebelling again."
The Genetic Potion can repair the inherent genetic damage of clones. Without obtaining the Genetic Potion Making Station through the Treasure Chest System, Li Zheng might have long perished from genetic collapse.
"Do you want us to go to the Wilderness to fight the Celestial Will Organization?" Ye Yuan asked eagerly, eyes shining.
"Not right now." Li Zheng said, "The Celestial Will Organization has been entrenched in the Wilderness for years, deeply rooted. With your current strength, going would be pointless."
Ye Kai frowned, "You're right, but we're newcomers. How can we surpass and oppose the Celestial Will Organization?"
"Start developing." Li Zheng said, "Compared to the Celestial Will Organization, our advantage lies in having more ways to become stronger. You two should vigorously develop technology, combine it with the Spiritual Power condensation methods I'll teach you, with the combat skills from the various Outer City races, and... the future holds even more impressive things waiting for us to develop.
The small Celestial Will Organization is but a matter of time to flatten!"
"By the way, I have two helpers here that might be useful to you." Li Zheng raised his hand and released two robots.
When they landed, the robots simultaneously performed a salute, speaking in alien language.
Kuro, Is.
Li Zheng presented two legal identities from the residents of Outer City obtained through Mirel, asking them, "I have two legal identities for Outer City residents here. Now you have two choices before you, whichever you choose, these identities I will give you.
One, take this identity and settle in District 4, deciding your own lives thereafter.
Two, take this identity, become their assistants, and contribute to the development of the Outer City."
Kuro and Is had mechanical bodies, while Ye Kai was a master of mechanical modification, the two complemented each other well.
If they were willing to follow Ye Kai and Ye Yuan, they would become strong allies.
"Willing to serve the master!"
Kuro and Is chose the latter almost without thinking, took the Inscription Card representing Outer City legal residency from Li Zheng, and bound it to themselves before each choosing either Ye Kai or Ye Yuan to stand behind.
Kuro followed Ye Kai, while Is followed Ye Yuan.
Li Zheng thought for a moment, raised his hand and released ancient production lines and some accumulations of ancient machinery he had brought before, handing them all to Ye Kai, "These are useless here, only you can unleash their potential."
In an instant, a large space opened up in his capsule.
Ye Kai looked at Kuro behind, "Mechanics from the Bloody Battlefield, I've been envious for a long time, always wanting one to study. Unfortunately, I've asked many people but they say the Bloody Battlefield is empty, and the remaining mechs are destroyed scrap. Now more active are some very ferocious alien life forms."
"To be precise, they are the Kron Race, and the current Bloody Battlefield is occupied by them, originally the robots." Li Zheng explained what happened to the Kron Race to Ye Kai and the others.
After hearing, Ye Yuan curiously looked at Is, "I always thought they were robots with advanced intelligence, turns out they have real life consciousness inside, and this one is even a girl?"
"Kuro and Is don't have a Translator, so you'll need to solve the language problem yourselves. I suggest you buy a couple of translators and modify them." Li Zheng proposed, "I trust this won't be difficult for Ye Kai."
"You all have things to do." Chu Xiao asked gloomily, "What about me?"
