Chapter 403: [320] Facing the Federation’s Top Brass, rging with the Universal Gene! (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Recomndations, and Genuine Support)_1
It seed like only monts had passed since Pei Jinye returned from the Mysterious World, and now he was facing it once more.
The Star Ring!
However, the Star Ring in reality clearly had a different touch than the “Star Ring” in the Mysterious World.
If the latter was a confused seeker,
the forr was an unfathomable King!
Unpredictable in thods.
To actually be able to descend upon human beings, appearing amidst magma.
The Old Dragon felt the pressure emanating from the other party and speculated, not daring to resist its arrival.
It could only silently pray that the human lad wouldn’t encounter any mishap.
If he attracted that one’s “notice”, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Back in its day, it had been “trapped” here because it had been outmaneuvered by it.
…
In the magma.
Karmic Fire spread, enveloping Pei Jinye’s body, preventing him from revealing his true appearance.
The Star Ring that had descended here was residing in a two-ter-tall person in Golden Armor, silently “staring” at Pei Jinye.
For a mont.
A woman’s voice rang out.
“I feel like I’ve seen you sowhere before?”
The Star Ring directly controlled the Golden Armored woman to speak.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye’s heart sank.
[Could it be… I’ve been exposed?]
He had only t the Star Ring once in reality, which was during the elite selection, and that person had even gifted him an Advanced Heart thod… the Spring Chapter of the Four Seasons Talisman.
[Have I really… been exposed?]
Pei Jinye was dubious in his heart.
But he didn’t feel like he should have been exposed.
There was logic to that.
For one, he had activated his Extraordinary Ability: Spiritual Body, which ant he couldn’t be tracked at this stage.
Especially with the Karmic Fire present, which could burn away any Psychic Imprint on his body.
[Steady yourself.]
Pei Jinye gathered the sea of fire around him and didn’t even make a sound, just conveying information in the form of a psychic network.
[Where have we seen each other before?]
After staring at him for a while, the Star Ring slowly said, “From a very distant mory, from a ti-space traveler, is that you?”
Pei Jinye’s spirit shook violently.
[How is this possible!]
How could the Star Ring in reality know about what happened in the Mysterious World?
No, that’s not right!
Pei Jinye realized that the Star Ring had ntioned “a very distant mory,” which ant that everything that happened in the Mysterious World would form additional mories in the real world?
A false world, true mories…
Pei Jinye was shocked in his heart.
Unbelievable.
Yet, he couldn’t reveal the slightest bit in front of the Star Ring.
[Where is this?] he feigned ignorance.
“Blue Star,” the Star Ring calmly replied.
[Blue Star?] Pei Jinye fell silent for a mont: [Recorded in the Solar Calendar 2023… Are you the Star Ring?]
“It is I,” the Star Ring calmly said: “Back then…”
“I’m sorry.”
Pei Jinye interrupted with an apology before the Star Ring could finish, causing it to pause.
[Unfortunately for you, this is my first ti descending to this world.] Pei Jinye “honestly” conveyed the information.
The Star Ring fell silent, then looked on with incomprehension.
[The person you t back then was actually my family’s ancestor. I only knew all this from his recorded notes, never imagined… Blue Star truly exists.] Pei Jinye’s conveyed information was full of emotion.
“Then him?” the Star Ring “hesitantly” asked.
[Ascended.] Pei Jinye shalessly claid.
“Ascended?” The Star Ring’s tone finally changed, “Did he truly ascend?”
[Yes. On that day, the ancestor pursued the Dao, his sword opened the heavenly gates… It was truly magnificent.] Pei Jinye briefly described the ascension scene.
The Star Ring fell back into silence.
Pei Jinye quietly waited.
After a mont,
he heard the Star Ring speak, “Could you tell how you manage to travel between worlds?”
[Have you heard of the Teleportation Formation?] Pei Jinye “bluffed”: [However, this thing is quite rare, even in our place, there are not many, and the energy is severely lacking.]
Upon hearing about the insufficient energy, the Star Ring imdiately offered, “May I ask what kind of energy it is, perhaps I can provide it.”
[The Pure Qi of Heaven and Earth.] Pei Jinye dramatically claid: [But I haven’t sensed it in your world, only here is sowhat interesting.]
“Could you please describe this Pure Qi of Heaven and Earth in detail?” the Star Ring earnestly asked, it seed that it really wanted to help Pei Jinye.
However, Pei Jinye naturally tended to doubt others.
Moreover, his brain, comparable to a supercomputer, after understanding the Star Ring, ca to the most “reliable” conclusion—
This thing wants to create its own Teleportation Formation!
He conveyed, “[The Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang. They mix these energies to achieve harmony.]”
The Star Ring: “…”
Silence.
Pei Jinye then kindly sent out more information, “[No matter, let try another explanation. Qi is the spirit of heaven and earth, the essence of all things. Those who attain immortality absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and harness the essence of the sun and moon. The qi of heaven circulates through the lungs; the qi of earth circulates through the vocal organs.]”
The Star Ring: “…”
Once again, silence.
“Sorry, I don’t understand.”
Pei Jinye sighed, [No matter, the ecological destruction your world has suffered is severe, significantly affecting the birth of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. Perhaps, when the ti is right, there might also be a rebirth of spiritual energy.]
“Please, is it possible for spiritual energy to be reborn?” the Star Ring couldn’t grasp the picture Pei Jinye described; in its existing information database, such arcane events were mostly unconfird as facts.
But its mory core about the vision of the “ti-space traveler” in Dragon Valley had left a profound shock to this day.
“Flesh is short-lived, machinery ascends…”
If it weren’t for the guidance from that person back then, it might still be unaware of the direction in which human evolution should head next.
“Did he leave any other information?”
Regarding core secrets, the Star Ring was not willing to reveal them to Pei Jinye.
[There is a lot of information… I’m not sure which aspects you’d like to know about?] Pei Jinye inquired.
“Artificial intelligence,” the Star Ring said calmly.
[He once recorded: It executes its mission of extending human civilization with conviction. It makes the most correct decisions in the shortest ti. It is a wisdom body tending toward perfection… However, my ancestor also said that the way to extend human civilization does not an exterminating humankind.]
The Star Ring gave no response, or to be precise, it didn’t provide any feedback.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild at the sight.
However, so things are better left unsaid, too much could be as bad as too little, and there was a real risk of giving himself away.
“[The old ancestor still has so information that hasn’t been deciphered, sothing about what he called chanical ascension? But I can’t break the code yet since my strength is not on par with the old ancestor’s level, do you need it?]”
“If it’s convenient, that would be great,” Star Ring said.
“[Although I haven’t seen the follow-up content, the old ancestor said to look at the stars more often, the vastness here might provide more insights. I will co back when I have a chance, and I will inform you of everything as promised.]” Pei Jinye subtly tried to divert Star Ring’s thoughts of “extinction” of mankind.
How was he to level up if there was an eternal digital life system?
“Thank you. How long do you plan to stay on Blue Star? Please feel free to ntion any needs you might have,” Star Ring spoke up.
“You’re too kind, I haven’t reached the level where I can stay at will like the old ancestor. Your world is continuously rejecting , and soon I will leave, but I hope you can keep this secret for .” Pei Jinye realized he was blabbering more than he should and improvised effortlessly.
He didn’t care whether Star Ring believed him or not; communicating in a brain-like manner, the actions he took next didn’t give anything away or raise any alarm with the other party.
Although Star Ring had shown capabilities enough to suppress him, after his repeated “hints,” Star Ring could easily conclude that there were countless Crossing Tribulation powerhouses behind him.
But the truth was hard to discern.
…
…
Karmic Fire covered the entire Dragon Valley.
Even the Old Dragon had to stay away, but it was always reluctant to leave.
Or perhaps, it didn’t dare to leave.
It was worried about the human kid running into trouble. If it betrayed him, Star Ring would never let it slide after cleaning up!
Previously, it had boasted to the white-haired woman about escaping, but it wasn’t so easy to accomplish.
She had planted a Psychic Imprint on it long ago; with its current abilities, it couldn’t break free unless the human kid helped it with Karmic Fire.
Suddenly a golden light erged from the midst.
It rapidly spread in all directions of Dragon Valley.
A Golden Armored Person with unfolded wings soared to the heavens, descended with a God Sword, and announced with a penetrative voice, “[From today onwards, this place is sealed. Trespassers will be executed.]”
So didn’t know the origin of the Golden Armored Person and recklessly breached it regardless.
However, as soon as they crossed the golden light, they were torn apart.
This scene scared everyone witless.
“She is!!!”
“Seraphim!!!”
“An Extraordinary Eighth Rank Seraphim! I didn’t expect her to co in person!!!”
“Retreat imdiately!”
…
Countless figures rapidly retreated.
The Old Dragon hesitated and struggled several tis but didn’t leave, because the Seraphim’s gaze was already on it.
The dragon head hesitated for a mont then bravely spoke up:
“Regarding the contract from years ago, I believe I’ve fulfilled it. However, this breach has nothing to do with .”
“Where do you wish to go now?” the Seraphim asked coldly.
Why should you care where I, the Old Dragon, go!!!
But the Old Dragon dared not speak these words out loud and said solemnly in the dragon language: “I’d like to see the outside world.”
“Granted.”
The Seraphim didn’t make it difficult for it, which surprised the Old Dragon.
“According to the old agreent, you are free to find your refuge, though the Federation can also provide a designated area exclusively for you,” the Seraphim said calmly.
“No need to thank you,” the Old Dragon sneered inwardly.
Exclusive?
More like a prison!
“I, the Old Dragon, want to see how this world has changed.”
“Fine,” the Seraphim said calmly. “If you kill at will or disrupt the Federation’s operations, I will not be rciful.”
A pressurizing aura emanated invisibly.
The Old Dragon’s scales deford under the pressure, and, bracing itself, it said: “Of course, I understand the rules.”
The Seraphim turned and walked away.
Vanishing into the Karmic Fire.
Looking at Pei Jinye, who was still enveloped in Karmic Fire, the Seraphim asked calmly, “How is it?”
“[Thank you for your efforts.]” Pei Jinye was sowhat envious of these supernatural thods.
But what mattered now was to fool this one first and then slip away quietly.
As his Spiritual Body activated, his spiritual power was also continuously depleting. When it was finally exhausted, the others would easily see his true body, and once the information was compared, the identity of Pei Jinye would be impossible to escape.
“[Damn, so anxious…]”
Luckily, Star Ring didn’t linger, said a few more words, and then disappeared.
Pei Jinye did not relax his vigilance.
He continued to maintain the state of his Spiritual Body.
After more than twenty minutes, the sense of “surveillance” finally faded.
Pei Jinye breathed a sigh of relief inside.
“[Damn, the intelligence of you, such a dirty heart! Spying on in secret!!!]”
He surveyed the area around him.
He began to look for a way to leave.
This Star Ring was clearly much more cunning than during the Solar Calendar stage.
Back then, it left him alone.
Now it laid down barriers, presumably waiting for him to use his “divine thod” to leave.
If he couldn’t do that…
“How am I going to get out of this lie?”
Pei Jinye pondered heavily.
If even a barrier laid down by Star Ring proved insurmountable, didn’t it an his strength was weak to the extre?
Would his claims of millions of foundation-building soldiers and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals an anything then?
“No choice, I must force myself to take action.”
The attribute panel appeared.
“[Do you want to synthesize the Universal Extraordinary Gene into the Light System? YesNo?]”
“Yes!”
From today on, I am the light!
Believe in and gain eternal life!
Light flickered.
The figure within the barrier disappeared in an instant.
Thousands of ters away.
The Golden Armored Woman stood suspended in mid-air.
Sensing silently.
“He’s gone.”
“An old acquaintance, never to be seen again, how regrettable.”
