Following his entry into the town, Fang Jie left those people behind and soon arrived at the largest courtyard in the center of the town.
"It seems this is the owner of the town, he should know more," Fang Jie thought to himself as he quietly approached. The opponent’s strength was rely at the Legendary Level, which posed no challenge for Fang Jie, allowing him to easily enchant the man and then inquire about certain things.
"Is the information and communication in this world so underdeveloped? It looks like a world rampant with ghosts. If it were a normal world, it surely wouldn’t have turned out this way."
Fang Jie was sowhat surprised since the inherent nature of any world is to enhance itself and advance.
The most common thod to boost itself involves developing the living beings within it.
Once the living beings advance to a certain extent, they naturally drive the upgrading of the world’s own laws, which is their most commonly used thod to enhance themselves. Another best thod is to devour other worlds.
And to devour other worlds, one must subdue them, which also requires the aid of the living beings within.
Thus, developing the living beings and making the internal living beings of the world more abundant and powerful is an instinct of every world.
However, this world was truly odd because it was filled with ghostly beings, and these ghosts all had significant flaws—they either lacked intelligence or could only stay in one place.
So could move freely and were powerful, but their numbers were too few.
This world also had two developnt paths. One was the Martial Arts path, cultivating oneself, strengthening Qi and blood, and ultimately condensing Gang Qi to achieve sanctity of the flesh.
This path was common to many worlds, albeit different; but fundantally, it was about strengthening one’s own body.
However, this path was quite interesting, and Fang Jie intended to study it later.
The other path involved controlling Yin Souls. Using special thods to control Yin Souls and then utilizing their power to fight. Once the strength reached a certain level, one could allow a Yin Soul to possess them.
However, Fang Jie also noted the shortcomings of this thod. Firstly, the strength of Yin Souls had an upper limit.
Once that limit was reached, one could no longer advance unless they found a stronger Yin Soul.
But having a living person possessed by a Yin Soul, especially using such brute thods, was harsh. Though the damage caused by these thods was minimal due to this world’s laws, small damage was still damage, and it existed nonetheless.
And with repeated use of this harsh thod, the more frequently used, the quicker the death.
Yet, to protect their already scarce kin, they could only opt for this thod.
This was because it was the fastest thod, and cultivating Martial Arts couldn’t quickly reach a level capable of confronting Yin Souls. To rapidly enhance strength, this world primarily adopted this thod.
At least, this was the case with nearby situations understood by the town owner.
Finally, they researched a special thod, which was to sacrifice both themselves and their own Yin Soul just before they were about to die. This way, they wouldn’t turn into ghosts, and the Yin Soul wouldn’t gain freedom.
Both would disappear entirely, avoiding future problems.
"This kind of spirit is indeed quite touching, even if the thod seems sowhat peculiar."
Fang Jie was extrely surprised because since it was a sacrifice, to whom exactly was the sacrifice being made?
At that mont, Fang Jie suddenly felt a fluctuation emanating from the Communication Crystal Ball, signaling soone was trying to reach him. "What’s happened?" Fang Jie asked openly, pulling it out.
After all, only the Mayor was here, controlled by him, unable to hear anything.
"Ye Li, you’re actively contacting us, have you discovered sothing?" Emperor Skeleton knew Ye Li well—this girl didn’t like interacting with others. Though she seed fairly normal, her true nature was very aloof, so it must be sothing significant.
"I have studied and discovered so problems with this world."
"This world’s foreign God was indeed sealed, but the world itself also suffered severe damage. And that sealed God has continuously used his laws to erode the Origin of this world."
"Law erosion? No wonder the power structure of this world is so strange. It seems it’s because of his erosion that the people of this world use the thod of Yin Soul Possession."
Zi Lan also knew about this and understood even more thoroughly.
Honestly, Fang Jie didn’t know as much about these matters as they did.
"Yes, exactly. I discovered that these people, when close to death, sacrifice both themselves and their souls and the Yin Souls on them to the sealed God. That God cannot absorb this power, so he uses it to erode this world instead."
"If this continues, I fear that in thousands of years, the entire world will transform into sothing else entirely. That God will directly beco the master of this world and reshape it into his Divine Country."
Fang Jie was sowhat stunned, hearing lots of information he was unfamiliar with.
Foreign gods occupying worlds and reshaping them into Divine Countries? What was the purpose of doing this, and what exactly was a Divine Country?
It seed that the worlds outside were not all very peaceful either.
Even without the hunting from All Heavens Hunting Ground, those worlds faced dangers themselves, and encountering danger might end up even worse.
Fang Jie didn’t understand and didn’t interject, just listening.
"Since that’s the case, this is actually good for us. That God can’t cause us trouble. By the ti All Heavens Hunting Ground devours this world, no matter how many tricks that God has, they’ll be useless."
In the end, Emperor Skeleton’s statent won everyone’s approval. Just as he said, this world’s level of danger was much less than they had imagined.
The world had been severely damaged, so it couldn’t repel them, and the sealed God was even less likely to be released.
Their absorption of the World Origin was brief, until the ti of being devoured. Such a strong seal, in such a short ti, even if the world actively opened, it would definitely not achieve the purpose of releasing the God.
So, it seed they could now go all out, Fang Jie thought.
"Alright, since we’ve confird so situations with this world, we no longer need to hide so rigorously. Let’s aim to resolve this world completely within a year."
A year was already quick for them, but Fang Jie still felt it was a bit slow.
