aaa Authority wholesaler Xia

Lin Yu didn't initially intend to trick Tengshe into "joining the group".

In the beginning, he created this illusion, building it around the power of the Two Authorities, "Calamity" and "Destiny," truly only for...

Hold back the "Tengshe".

From the very beginning, Lin Yu's strategy was clear: he would absolutely not allow "Tengshe," a Tier 4 creature, to open his "Heart Domain."

Lin Yu had already witnessed just how overpowered the [Exclusive item] and "Heart Domain" were.

Lin Yu absolutely did not want to experience the "Heart Domain" of a "Tier 4" expert Rankings sixth on the leaderboard.

Especially after the other party didn't open their weapon at first, Lin Yu became even less willing to try.

If a "Tier 4" expert doesn't activate their "Heart Domain" during a fight, according to Lin Yu's limited understanding, it means that the opponent's "Heart Domain" is not a "continuous buff" or "Venue buff," but rather has some kind of high-cost or instantaneous characteristic.

Once activated, the "Heart Domain" with this characteristic becomes like a "ultimate move," capable of bringing about a qualitative change and overwhelming power.

The less likely "Tengshe" was to open his "Heart Domain"Heart Domain immediately, the less likely Lin Yu would give him the opportunity to do so.

Of course, Lin Yu did have some thoughts and designs beyond "combat" in his method of dragging "Tengshe," a "Tier 4" creature, into the illusion to hold it back—he did want to gain some benefits from "Tengshe."

But in Lin Yu's mind, he was probably just using this illusion to force "Tengshe" to communicate with him for a long time in order to gain some high-quality "trust".

For example, when Lin Yu mentioned [Exclusive item] earlier, he had this in mind.

At the same time, he believed that with Tengshe's connections and status, he would definitely spread the news after he got out—and those who could get the news from Tengshe were mostly high-ranking Night Watcher and the Order.

In Lin Yu's original plan, all of this was to enhance the presence of the "Zhu Ming" identity, improve the evaluation of "Zhu Ming" by various organizations, and make "Zhu Ming"'s ascension to "Tier 3" a "fait accompli".

If all goes well, after "Tengshe" leaves, let the news circulate for a while... and when I find a suitable opportunity next time, I might be able to directly use these "beliefs" and the groundwork laid beforehand to "publicly display" that non-existent [Exclusive item] and make it real.

It's like bringing the "Unique Profession" of "Film Emperor" and its corresponding [Qimo] to life in the "Ground of No Return".

But...

Plans can't keep up with changes.

After entering the illusion, Lin Yu, through his own observation, also glimpsed the Karma of "Tengshe's " past—a girlfriend who died unexpectedly in a foreign land.

And he is suspected of having participated in a "Death game".

For Lin Yu, this was naturally the best news.

He never imagined that "Tengshe" had such a past!

Therefore, given this rare opportunity, Lin Yu naturally adopted a more radical approach—he wanted to directly transform the "Tengshe" high-ranking "Night Watcher" into an organization that could be considered "neutral to slightly friendly" towards the identity of "Zhu Ming".

Adding a "Tier 4" boost to the identity of "Zhu Ming" will not only solve the immediate crisis, but also make it much easier for him to carry out activities under the identity of "Zhu Ming" in the future.

Moreover, with shared interests and goals, such "assistance" is relatively reliable even if the organizations and positions are different.

After all, in this illusion of "Karma," everything is real—including Tengshe's feelings and reactions.

Lin Yu knew clearly that the other party did care about "Ruan Min" and did indeed... want to find her and see her again.

This is the weakness of "human nature".

Although he's already at "Tier 4," having touched the realm of Deity, and although he Rankings sixth in overall strength among all Player...

However, "Tengshe" was still born into this world as a human being.

He craves love, values family and friends, and cannot let go of his memories... Perhaps these don't necessarily have to be called "weaknesses," but at least they are "parts" that Lin Yu can exploit.

His vulnerability and confusion—all that he cherished and cared about—were evident.

All Lin Yu needed to do was give him what he wanted, and the other person would naturally and easily side with him— Lin Yu didn't even need to Fraud the other person in this matter.

After all, he really wanted to Resurrection a certain "Player" from the Previous Version, and if he had the chance to Resurrection "Ruan Min" as well... Lin Yu wouldn't mind doing so.

In a sense, although "Zhu Ming's" identity is fake, if "Tengshe" investigates "Zhu Ming's" identity after leaving, he might find something and mistakenly believe that she might be trying to Resurrection his father... If he investigates more deeply and accurately, he might find the girl he met with the God of Desire who once had a crush on Xia Yue.

However, putting those aspects aside, Lin Yu was sincere about at least the parts about "Ruan Min".

Certainly...

This "sincerity" also contains some "impurities."

For example, although Lin Yu told "Tengshe" that "Ruan Min" was a "Player" from the Previous Version, he wasn't entirely sure.

After all, "Tengshe" may have really suffered too much shock, and physical reasons may have caused Memory confusion.

Lin Yu knew far too little about "Tengshe" and "Ruan Min".

Lin Yu has no substantial evidence to prove that Ruan Min was definitely a "Player" in the Previous Version.

However, Lin Yu's claims were not entirely unfounded or baseless. In Lin Yu view, while the evidence was not conclusive, the probability that Ruan Min was a "Player" was at least 50% or even higher.

And...

Even if it's fake, it might not be a bad thing for "Tengshe".

At least, he'll have something to look forward to.

Looking at the silent "Tengshe" before him, in this illusion that was collapsing and nearing its end, Lin Yu spoke again.

"Alright," Lord Tengshe, you don't actually need to give me an answer now.

"After you get out... you'll have many more opportunities—you're always welcome to come find me."

"What I mean is... leaving this Nether Void Realm —well, after all, we were enemies before leaving Nether Void Realm."

"I don't want to put you in a difficult position, so just continue doing what you're supposed to do—after all, even if the 'Director' were to appear before us now, and we encountered him in the [Instance], I would absolutely not hold back."

As Lin Yu spoke, Tengshe looked at him.

After saying these words, Tengshe pondered for a few seconds before finally making up his mind.

"No need. It would be more troublesome if I went to find you after we left..."

"Can you keep the details of our transaction absolutely confidential?"

Tengshe looked at Lin Yu and asked.

"Of course, as long as you don't say anything, no one will know," Lin Yu chuckled softly. "What good would it do me to betray you?"

Tengshe carefully considered Lin Yu's question and replied, "Perhaps we could have the 'Night Watcher' expel me and force me to join the 'Freedom Alliance'?"

"That's how it's written in the book—that's how Lu Junyi was 'tricked' into joining Liangshan in 'Water Margin'."

Lin Yu said helplessly, "The situation in 'Water Margin' is different from yours—you are the strongest of the 'Night Watcher.' As long as you don't make any fundamental Error, why would they fire you?"

"Lu Junyi has the government, the imperial court, and the emperor above him—what, do you 'Night Watcher' have an emperor too?"

"Can't you use your brain? I'm only helping you cover it up because I'm afraid of getting into trouble."

Tengshe paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "That makes sense..."

"Besides, even if you want to join our 'Freedom Alliance,' we don't accept you. Don't talk like we accept just anyone."

Lin Yu said it with disdain.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Tengshe pointed to himself. "Hey, but I'm not just anyone, am I? I'm a 'Tier 4' cultivator, a 'Tier 4' cultivator on the list..."

"Didn't you just acknowledge my abilities?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Sorry, our 'Freedom Alliance' doesn't accept people with bad hygiene habits—we're 'Kayan'."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Tengshe blushed. "What nonsense... I don't think your 'Inventor' and 'Comedian' are good-looking either—one is bald, and the other is fat."

Lin Yu pursed his lips. "The 'Inventor' has great taste in clothes... As for the 'Comedian,' the uncle has gained weight—he's under a lot of pressure in his life."

"In the past, Comedian were very handsome."

Lin Yu spoke earnestly, Tengshe appeared somewhat dejected.

"But before I became a homeless person... I was quite handsome... well, at least my features were regular!"

"During my studies abroad, some female students from other countries even wanted to add me on WeChat..."

Tengshe spoke in a low voice, and Lin Yu showed a surprised expression.

"Huh? Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Tengshe was genuinely getting impatient, forcefully smoothing his hair. "Forget it... I can't reason with Xiao Nian like you—let's not talk about these pointless topics. You want my 'Soul Fragment,' right? How am I supposed to give it to you?"

Seeing that Tengshe abruptly changed the subject, Lin Yu did not continue to insult and personally attack Tengshe, but instead spoke up.

"It's very simple... Next, please relax your mind and body—and then, remove all the defenses your soul has."

As Lin Yu spoke, he took it out of his pocket...

[Ancient Notebook].

Tengshe's eyes widened. "What the hell... You still have Authority?!"
