The Diviner's scheme

"Huff... huff..."

Firmly controlled by the Soul Power of the Second Generation "Freud," the "Chancellor" truly had no room for resistance.

Just as Lin Yu had sensed before, the soul of the Second Generation "Freud"... was empowered by the Authority the "soul," and the Soul Power.

Although the Soul Power of the First Generation "Jung" also had similar characteristics, Lin Yu can now be certain of it based on the comparison.

As expected, the Soul Power of the Second Generation "Freud" is even more terrifying.

After all, she herself was also a "Tier 4"... No matter how much the First Generation "Jung" boasted, he could not change the fact that his own Divine Rank was lower than that of the Second Generation "Freud".

Therefore, the Soul Power that the Second Generation "Freud" used to control the "Chancellor" at this moment was stronger and more concentrated than any Soul Power she had released before.

Although he verbally referred to the "Chancellor" as an "old man in Hanfu" and claimed that it was not "challenging," in reality, the Second Generation "Freud" did not underestimate this member of the "Copper Furnace" too much.

These Soul Power not only firmly locked the "Chancellor's" body and soul, but also directly merged into his own energy, detecting whether the Chancellor showed any signs of activating his abilities.

If the Chancellor dares to use any extraordinary means or [Item], the Second Generation "Freud" will know about it immediately and take countermeasures.

"This is truly... a dead end."

The Chancellor felt the surging Soul Power around him and murmured in admiration.

He was certainly aware of his current situation, so he looked at Lin Yu.

"Now that things have come to this, I'm willing to do whatever I want with you... but I still don't think you can get any 'answers' from me."

I will not answer your question, and your so-called tactic of 'not needing my answer' is, in my opinion, doomed to fail.

"Even if the Second Generation 'Freud' and 'Schreiber,' two masters in the realms of the Spirit Domain and Mind Domain, were here, it would be the same."

The Chancellor sighed softly as he spoke.

"So, don't waste your energy," the Beast Master... just kill me already.

Lin Yu looked at the Chancellor, his expression still calm. "I don't know where your confidence comes from, why you think my methods will definitely not work... but I won't give up trying just because you said those two sentences."

"So I think the person who should save their energy is you—don't try to mislead my judgment with ridiculous things."

As Lin Yu spoke, a thin, translucent white thread appeared in his hand.

"I know very well that 'Copper Furnace' is skilled in cognitive techniques... but I don't intend to investigate your Memory or interfere with your mind."

"That's really strange. You seem to know a bit about my methods, so why don't you know that I possess abilities related to 'Destiny' and that I can use my [Summoned Creature] to perform the 'Karma Threads Divine Ability' technique?"

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, and the Spider Silk, like tentacles, penetrated his Soul Power and wrapped around the Chancellor's body.

Then...

Lin Yu used the "Karma Threads" from Zhu Qiansi to activate his ability to construct Karma "illusion" and peer into the Karma past.

The past of the "Chancellor"... came into Lin Yu's view!

However, these past events did not form a fully realized Karma Illusion as they did in the past.

What flooded into Lin Yu's senses were fragmented pieces.

In the Fields, locusts swept across the fields like a black cloud, emptying the rice paddies and leaving nine out of ten villages deserted. People who had starved to death and those who were about to starve lay together on the ridges of the fields by the roadside, their bodies thin and frail, like piles of rice. Among these corpses, a small child, so thin as to be almost deformed, sat numbly, holding what appeared to be the body of a relative.

On a snowy night, inside a dilapidated, drafty house, a young boy with a headscarf, his fingers rough and red from the cold, sat before an oil lamp, constantly reading classic texts and sketching on rough paper with a charcoal pencil. His eyes were tired but bright—in the dead of night, all around was silent and deserted, only the flickering light of the oil lamp illuminating the words of the sages, as if gazing upon him.

In the bustling town, on the day the results were announced, a young scholar dressed in coarse cloth pointed at the name at the top of the list, shouting excitedly, laughing wildly Neighborhood the streets, and running around wildly—he was surrounded by people, and all around him were smiling faces, some joyful and some polite.

The wind rustled the willows, and the lake rippled. A middle-aged man wearing a tall hat and a brocade robe sat in a carriage, lifting the curtain to look at the long embankment and Wooden Pavilion that were about to be completed, and at the Painted Pleasure Boat boats and pleasure boats on the river that stretched to the end of the lake. His expression was calm. He was surrounded by smiling faces, but those smiles now contained a hint of awe and obsequiousness.

"What...?"

Lin Yu rubbed his temples, sensing the "Karma of the past" he was perceiving, and couldn't help but frown.

These are indeed the "Chancellor's" genuine "past," but...

This was clearly not what Lin Yu wanted to see.

He looked up at the "Chancellor" and asked with some doubt, "This is your past life? This is unbelievable... How did you do that?"

The Chancellor looked at Lin Yu, his gaze deep. "I've said it before, your methods... will not work."

"I have never ignored your connection to 'Destiny,' and my confidence is based on my knowledge of your methods."

The Second Generation "Freud" asked, "So, Zhu Ming... what did you see?"

Lin Yu looked at the Second Generation "Freud" and sighed, "The 'past' of a true ancient 'Chancellor'... and it doesn't feel like a dynasty from our world, but rather like an old friend from some world in the Ten Realms."

"I miscalculated. He was already wary that I would pry into his past from the perspective of 'Destiny' and 'Karma,' so he probably used some means to cover it up... Perhaps he grafted the 'Karma' of a Native the Ten Realms onto himself."

The Chancellor shook his head. "No, it's not 'grafting'... What you see is my truest past—have you ever considered that perhaps I don't come from the same world as you, but rather from the Ten Realms?"

The Second Generation "Freud" was surprised. "You're a 'Player' from Other Worlds? In the Previous Version... people from the Ten Realms could also become 'Player'?"

Old Zheng said, "Impossible. Living Beings the Ten Realms cannot join the 'Death game,' not even in the Previous Version —I... even the First Generation 'Freud' confirmed this."

"Although the First Generation didn't know much about the Previous Version, he still had this level of 'knowledge'."

Old Zheng spoke with certainty, and the Second Generation "Freud" and Lin Yu certainly did not doubt what Old Zheng said.

After all, Lin Yu understood that Old Zheng rarely made mistakes in terms of "research content" and "knowledge content".

He generally provides information that he is confident in, and that information is usually true.

The Chancellor said calmly, "But no matter how I did it, your methods seem to have failed... 'Beast Master,' it seems you won't find it so easy to pry into my past, will you?"

"So, I still recommend that you... take action now, either kill me or let me go."

The Second Generation "Freud" spoke coldly, "Is that so? You're so eager to die... Then I'll grant your wish."

Lin Yu interrupted the Second Generation Freud: "Wait a minute, there's no need to act now... Although we can't see into his past through the 'Karma' level, there are other ways."

The Second Generation Freud frowned. "What method?"

"His current face and appearance are not original. A guy called 'The Makeup Artist' used special abilities to change his appearance and even his aura," Lin Yu said, looking at the Chancellor's face. "But since his appearance has been 'changed'... there is a way to restore it to its original state."

"Chancellor, I will naturally find out who you really are in due time."

The Chancellor's expression turned somewhat grave upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

But he still said, "Then you'd better hurry, Beast Master... time waits for no one."

"I have a feeling... the 'Diviner's' plans are about to begin!"

"By then, neither you, the Second Generation 'Freud,' nor 'Schreiber' will likely have the energy to spare to care about me."

The Second Generation Freud scoffed, "Ha, what a low-level bluff... No matter how powerful the 'Diviner's' methods are, they can't possibly affect what I want to do!"

"Besides, his methods are definitely more targeted at 'Order,' so what does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing the words of the Second Generation Freud, the Chancellor murmured, "Before I realized his plan... I thought so too."

"However, after investigating the anomalies in Shenzhen and discovering the true purpose of those temporarily created 'Reality Loophole,' I've realized what the 'Diviner' is really plotting."

"There's no point in us staying here and holding each other back, scheming against each other... Frankly, what we should do is get out of Shenzhen as soon as possible."

Lin Yu looked at the Chancellor and said, "The purpose of those Reality Loophole is simply to extract energy from the Ten Realms for him and the 'Emperor' to use, right? If there's any additional use, it's at most to restrain the 'General's' methods!"

"It's perfectly normal that you didn't understand, after all, your understanding of the 'world' is very shallow. But since I'm now in your hands and under your control, I might as well share this information with you."

Chancellor spoke, he looked at Lin Yu.

"This is crucial intelligence that I haven't even had time to report to the 'Emperor'."

"Listen carefully," the "Diviner" said, "The purpose of creating those loopholes wasn't to extract energy, but rather... to summon his helpers!"

"Don't you find it strange that, despite not uniting with your 'Freedom Alliance' and 'Psychology Society,' the 'Diviner' dared to provoke 'Order' and the 'Night Watcher' this time... Although His Majesty is strong, for the 'Diviner,' this is far from enough."

"After all, what he wanted was never a 'decisive battle of equal strength,' but rather a one-sided 'encirclement and annihilation'!"

"So... his allies have never been just 'Player' or 'Player' from the Previous Version."

"It also includes... Demigod, Chosen of God, and Deity from the Ten Realms!"
