He was a genius, an incredibly brilliant genius, who emerged from a remote border town.

He reached his peak upon debut; within half a month of his emergence, his strength was second only to the most prominent powerhouse in the Yashan Empire.

If he lived in or before Yashan, he Future have become a very powerful Conjuration.

But in Yashan's long life, he not only saw countless such geniuses, but also killed many.

Yashan initially ignored it, but then happened to notice something was wrong.

The way the opponent used Spell was strange; the basics of their Spells were something I'd never even seen before, very novel, and many of them didn't even seem to be Spells...

After observing the other party, Yashan concluded that their values and actions were strange and inconsistent with their identity, and they were definitely not from the Yashan Empire.

But in this world, there is only one power, the Yashan Empire; all other powers have been destroyed for a thousand years.

He must come from beyond this world.

Yashan's first reaction was to grab him, but the cataclysmic Calamity had already overwhelmed him.

In his final moments, Yashan stripped away most of his power, entrusting the core of his consciousness to a wisp of the purest soul Origin, orchestrating his encounter with that otherworldly being, and meticulously planning to become his teacher.

The portable grandpa app has been successfully loaded.

Later...

Yashan fled that despairing world and came to the Land of Darkness, where he quickly began to rebuild his strength and slowly regain his former power.

The Survivors here call Him Forbidden Existence.

"Although my World Destruction..." Yashan's consciousness withdrew from his distant memories, feeling the vast, systematic, and completely open skills and knowledge of this new world, and a ripple stirred deep within his soul, "But this world... is simply amazing!"

After restoring his cultivation for two days, he was able to move freely throughout the region and easily control everyone.

Even better, the knowledge here is open!

Those Skill Books not only contain how to use Spells, but also the principles of Spells, and even the accompanying theoretical foundations and various directions!

From Yashan's perspective, this is a foundation and path forward that is entirely without error!

The Mana system that Yashan's own world had built up over thousands of years seemed childish and laughable in the face of these seemingly cheap, green Skill Books.

Yashan had possessed these things back then, why would it have needed hundreds of years to rule the world?

Not to mention the more fundamental and profound theories and more rational and powerful Spell constructions in the blue Skill Books... Most of the Forbidden Spells that take decades of training to master in the Yashan world are just slightly higher-level blue skills here, with only a few high-level Forbidden Spells having the power of Purple Skills.

Those green and blue quality Skill Books seem basic, but the more basic and concise they are, the more beautiful and terrifying they are.

Even though Yashan's power had long surpassed this stage, the knowledge and theories in those blue Skill Books still fascinated him. The foundation is everything; with a foundation, there are infinite possibilities.

He only participated in the District War as a stepping stone to find more blue Skill Books in other more developed areas.

For example, the area with the [Scholar] and the [Demon King], or the area with the [Lord of Contracts].

With His power, He could easily sweep everyone away. And He also had the need to make some moves in the District War.

With the help of this [Survival System], the Survivors are progressing at an alarming rate, especially the world's top Forbidden Class.

The level that these powerful individuals who have now obtained special qualifications have reached in just one and a half months is something that even the most unparalleled geniuses in the Yashan world could not achieve in a hundred years.

Not to mention, Yashan also gleaned information about the Purple Skill from snippets of conversation on the World Channel; the power range was simply outrageous.

Combining the power difference between the lowest and highest levels of blue skills, and based on the detailed descriptions of the power of Purple Skills in the World Channel, Yashan discovered that even his peak strength before his escape was only limited to the level of Purple Skills.

These top-tier Survivors took about a week to advance from white to green skills.

It took me more than a month to surpass the blue skill level and complete the path that Conjuration in the world of Yashan would take a lifetime to traverse.

So, how long will it take them to advance to the Purple Skill? Half a year?

To protect itself, Yashan needs to curb the development of the Survivors, whose strength is growing far too fast.

Unfortunately, this time the District War unlike the first one; the interactivity was extremely low. Forget about direct contact, you couldn't even exchange items.

With this in mind, Yashan pondered for a moment, then shifted his consciousness, hovering over his body, and decided to enter the hall to check the situation.

As soon as he entered, Yashan heard Shan Yixian roar, "Fuck your mother! What are you?"

Shan Yixian was dressed in a suit of armor that shimmered with magical light. He was furious, his face flushed red. He was clutching a thick stack of cards in his left hand and holding another card between his right index and middle fingers.

"I'm your father! What, are you going to use your trash card on me?" Gai Li waved the card in his hand, completely unfazed.

"You said it yourself!" Shan Yixian seemed extremely angry, raising the card in his right hand to Lock-On onto Gai Li.

Gai Li sat up straight instantly, raising his card in return, retorting sharply, "My card isn't necessarily a disadvantage!"

The two sides were on the verge of a duel, as if they were about to engage in a battle.

Yashan's soul trembled slightly; arguing on the public microphone, how interesting.

He "surrounded" everyone around the round table. The Scholar lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and the Demon King beside him had a similar posture, only with a hint Immutable sharpness between his brows.

Father Tali Lang, who had initially maintained a kind expression, now clearly showed signs of irritation. Chao Ketu remained engrossed in his own world, fiddling with his fingers. Mu Hongyuan and Kundina watched the scene with smiles on their faces.

The two men engaged in a heated verbal battle right in front of Him, spewing out all sorts of vulgarities. Just then, Yashan received a live chat request from Chao Ketu.

"Your Excellency Yashan, do you require cooperation?"

Yashan remained silent for a moment, his faceless, ghostly form seemingly "staring" at the other, before speaking softly:

"Aren't you guys working together right now?"

Chao Ketu remained unfazed and continued in his monotone voice, "Yes. Currently, three main forces have emerged on the field... I have reached a preliminary agreement with [Goddess of Luck], and now, we sincerely invite you to join our alliance."

"The total number of cards that I and [Goddess of Luck] possess has exceeded seventy. If we were to add you, a Forbidden Existence of unfathomable strength, we would surely form an overwhelming advantage, enough to counterbalance or even Suppression the other two parties, ensuring the maximization of our interests..."

Yashan listened attentively to his words, while watching the Scholar and the Goddess of Luck converse. The Goddess of Luck seemed slightly agitated, while the Scholar simply looked up at her.

They were arguing on the public microphone.

Jiang Mengrui: "With your few cards, you think you can fight me? Go back to your Trait Dungeon and play with shit!"

Su Luo: "You've been buried in shit."

Jiang Mengrui choked, her voice rising. "... Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you and the Demon King are in your area!"

Su Luo's tone remained unchanged. "You've been buried in shit."

Jiang Mengrui: "..."

The teammate next to Jiang Mengrui asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

Su Luo: "I buried it."

Jiang Mengrui: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Yashan could tell that the girl in the purple mage robe was genuinely angry.
