"Mommy! Mommy!! Mommy!! Mommy, don't kill me! I have information!"

Ming Yuanwu knelt down, raised his hands, his whole body tense, and kept begging for mercy.

Just now, he and the Church members arrived at this place, casually killed some thugs and monsters, and were preparing to formally surround and exterminate this unknown creature carrying an unknown skull.

The Church members had just illuminated the surrounding area and set up their defensive perimeter when they made their move and were instantly wiped out.

As if some kind of domain existed, everything around collapsed in an instant, without even a sound, including the bishop who was over seventy levels high; they all fell into a peaceful sleep.

Although Ming Yuanwu had seen dead people and even killed people in the past few days, he had never seen dozens of people being wiped out like this.

Because the other person had female characteristics, he immediately stated that he posed no threat and began thinking about ways to survive.

Of course, the best course of action is to kneel down and beg for mercy, since you can't win anyway. Weakness is weakness, and there's no way to compensate for it. You can't make up for a loss with courage.

To survive, he even called out for his mother.

Then, there was silence. In the midst of his anxious waiting, he saw the creature pause for a moment, then pull out... a cell phone?!

He wasn't sure if it was a cell phone, but in the still-bright light of the surrounding Illumination Spell, he could clearly see the creature's device.

It's considerably smaller than a mobile phone, about the size of a smartwatch, but judging from the creature's operation, it seems to have a touchscreen and can emit its own light. Based on his understanding, it's clearly a technological product.

Ming Yuanwu's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly recovered:

"Mom! Mom! I'm from Crossing! I'm incredibly valuable!"

The creature ignored him, manipulated the objects for a moment, and then sat down on its own.

After a while, Ming Yuanwu changed his posture and sat down on the ground. He calmed down and his mind started working again, but he still couldn't figure out what the creature in front of him meant.

However, based on his speculation, it was highly likely that the other party could not understand his language. Although when he became a hero, his Career Panel had instilled the language of this world into him, the other party's behavior and items were so bizarre that they might not be from this world at all.

That is... other Mortal Realms?

Ming Yuanwu swallowed hard, stood up, and tried to walk backwards.

The moment he took that first step, he was enveloped by an intense sense of crisis, as if taking another step back would mean certain death!

Ming Yuanwu became obedient, stopped and squatted down, waiting for the unknown creature to deal with him.

That's what it means to be powerless to control your own destiny.

Forced to Crossing, forced to become a hero, forced to grow stronger, and now he has to face a powerful figure he can't understand, who could kill him with a flick of his wrist...

Ming Yuanwu felt a strange sadness, and a weariness that seemed to Spread from his spine, especially when he thought of the family he had been waiting for to be saved before he Crossing.

An hour later, he saw the unidentified creature stand up. The blurry female silhouette lingered for a moment between darkness and light before disappearing from the spot.

She's gone? Is she safe now?

The moment Ming Yuanwu uttered this question, he found himself in a space dominated by pure white, completely immobilized, as if he had been driven into a cement pile. A man in a blue robe stood in front of him, his hands behind his back, looking at him.

He completely lost consciousness.

"This guy carries a powerful aura, but he himself is extremely weak, so I kept him."

Su Luo listened to Jingjing's narration and nodded.

Jingjing wandering the Land of Darkness for a while, she was injured and hunted down, eventually escaping to this place to recuperate. She had been lurking in Eldran for several days, gathering a lot of information, when she encountered this brave man who claimed to Crossing.

Just now, Su Luo had entered the World Membrane and was free from interference when she received Jingjing's message and rushed over directly from the Laboratory.

Ming Yuanwu possessed a divine aura, and a particularly strong one at that, so Su Luo dragged him in to take a look, and also to see the cultivation system of this world.

Interestingly, Su Luo observed [Eldran] on her way there and found that the people in this world were quite physically strong; at least under three times the gravity, not many people died.

Most of the deaths were caused by the chaos that followed the fall of darkness—robbery, killing, rioting... Fewer people were directly crushed to death; only the elderly, children, and the sick couldn't withstand it.

The average Constitution Attributes of people in this world are above nine points, which is much higher than the limit for Homo sapiens. An ordinary farmer in Su Luo's hometown would be someone who could kill a tiger with his bare hands.

But the guy in front of me is old and weak, probably not even five points of Constitution Attribute. He's only able to stand here because of the strange power protecting him.

"Is this the Body Refining of this world...?" Su Luo casually pulled out the Career Panel from Ming Yuanwu's body and studied it.

The panel was originally embedded deep within Ming Yuanwu's soul. After Su Luo forcibly peeled it off, it transformed into a semi-transparent ball of light emitting a pale golden glow, hovering in his palm.

"That's interesting. You can even use faith like this."

He examined the ball of light closely.

From the outside, it looks like an array compressed to the extreme, layer upon layer, densely packed, with each layer vibrating at a different frequency and interwoven with each other in an extremely precise way.

Su Luo tried to penetrate it with her Divine Power and discovered that the underlying structure of this thing was much more complex than it appeared.

It's a kind of disguised system cheat, but the Abjuration measures are very crude, and Su Luo can easily and rudely interfere with it, or even dismantle it directly.

Perhaps the same principle applies to the Ten Thousand Worlds Panel, but Su Luo cannot interfere with it.

The Career Panel is Essence a product of Power of Faith and elements, along with some strange materials. He had never seen those materials before, but judging from their energy characteristics, they should be some kind of extraordinary substance unique to the Divine Court. The entire panel has a mass-produced feel to it.

It belongs to the same system as the "World Membrane" and "pipes" we saw before, except that Mortal Realm can also use it. It is most likely a byproduct used by the Gods to harvest the Mortal Realm.

Pedometers and intelligent detection systems used in pig farming also fall into this category.

It's still pig farming.

Su Luo spent two days meticulously disassembling the Career Panel, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the entire system using her understanding of the Power of Faith.

He placed the [Scales of Supreme Goodness] beside him, using its purified Power of Faith as a probe to carefully test the connection between the panel and the Celestial Rail.

It was discovered that although the panel terminal's Abjuration was crude, the underlying protocol of the entire system was extremely robust, with each data packet having a unique encryption method and each communication requiring multiple layers of verification.

This is not a simple Production Line, but a powerful, self- Cycle system. It's top-notch.

"What a stark contrast! The pig farm's operations are so rudimentary, yet the intelligent management system is so powerful. What are these guys even doing?"

After fiddling around for a while, Su Luo made a comment.
