Chapter 260
But Jing Yuan didn't even dare to imagine how elaborate the Gift of Abundance would be in another world without the Hunt Aeon to keep it in check!
Mechanical weakness prevails, while flesh and blood ascend?
"Don't worry, it's a stripped-down version. The kind with an average lifespan of at most 300 years."
"Phew..." Hearing this, Jing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It startled me.
"However, the other party came this time to investigate whether to open the full version of Gift of Abundance."
"Hmm? No need to say anything more, I'll handle this guest!"
"I'm relieved to leave it to Jing Yuan. I hope you two have a good time. Oh, by the way, his wife will be coming too. According to this world's terminology... she should be called an Intelligent Machines. And there might also be a god who, although quite useless, is indeed a supreme deity, coming along to the Xianzhou."
"???"
"Don't look at me like that. I guarantee they won't cause any major trouble on the Luofu Xianzhou! I promise!"
"Chen Li, you've really put me through a lot." Jing Yuan sighed heavily.
Luofu Xianzhou is not your backyard. Please don't throw random things on Luofu Xianzhou, okay?
Moreover, with so many Xianzhou in the Xianzhou Alliance, why are you only targeting Luofu Xianzhou Xianzhou wreak havoc?
Well, even if these guests are going too far, they probably won't cause any big incidents like a pink sun, right?
Chapter 251 Devouring Star God: Chen Li, you've stolen my Path! (8k "emmm... maybe I also have the potential to become a general of the Luofu Xianzhou?" Looking at the official documents in front of him that he had reviewed and that left Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan speechless, Chen Li couldn't help but think.
"There is absolutely no such possibility." Fu Xuan stood up instantly and said excitedly.
Jing Yuan glanced at Fu Xuan indifferently.
Fu Qing was provoked.
To be fair, judging from the current situation, Chen Li's ability to handle official business on the Luofu Xianzhou is about the same as Fu Xuan's.
Aside from certain particularly important events, General Xianzhou Luofu Fu's daily official duties were routine, much like a top-scoring student taking the Beijing college entrance exam – not particularly difficult, so his scores wouldn't be too far off.
But Fu Xuan was able to fight Chen Li to a draw, Fu Xuan, a local, has already lost.
And Chen Li is fast!
Jing Yuan's day's official business was completed in three minutes.
Therefore, What If Chen Li really has the ambition to become the General of Xianzhou Luofu, then he will definitely be Fu Xuan's greatest enemy.
The title of General of the Xianzhou will be given to the most capable person.
Moreover, Chen Li's channels are perfectly legitimate.
This is the hero who created the Xianzhou to suppress Mara-Struck Miraculous Item.
"With your speed and ability to handle official business, Chen Li, if you're willing to spend a few years training on the Xianzhou, becoming the next general of the Luofu Xianzhou is just around the corner." Seeing that Fu Xuan was somewhat agitated by this, Jing Yuan made a sarcastic remark from the side.
What does their competition for the next general of Xianzhou Luofu have to do with me, the current general of Xianzhou Luofu?
"What? No way!" ×2
Fu Xuan and Chen Li spoke in unison.
"To become a general in just a few years? That's too fast!" Fu Xuan gave his answer.
Fu Xuan didn't know how many years he had waited for the opportunity to have Jing Yuan possibly abdicate!
"It takes several years to become a general, that's too slow," Chen Li replied.
Give Chen Li a few years, no, even a few months, Chen Li could rebuild the Xianzhou Alliance.
"..." ×2
"Alright, that's enough playing around. You can continue being the general." Chen Li shifted his position, giving it to Fu Xuan.
"You're reviewing all important matters concerning the Xianzhou, how can you call it 'playing around'?" Fu Xuan rolled his eyes at Chen Li, then sat down next to him.
"General Fu is right," Chen Li replied casually.
Because Chen Li did indeed solve the problem by playing around.
Miracle Card: Game Life Garden.
Using this Miracle Card to handle official business is incredibly easy. And it's also a match-3 game: Candy Crush.
Unfortunately, this Miracle Card probably can't be used to play Nine Clans Match-3.
"Let's go, Jing Yuan, let's go greet our guests."
"Okay. But didn't they send the message to your vicinity via Friends Circle? Why do we still need to leave the General's Mansion?" Jing Yuan, who had already been added to Chen Li's Friends Circle group chat, asked.
"Because who knows what kind of chaos they'll cause when they come into this world? Of course, they can't be here in the General's Mansion. What if they tear the General's Mansion down?"
"... If I remember correctly, you swore just 10 minutes ago that they would never cause any major trouble on the Xianzhou," Jing Yuan said confidently.
After using Moe Ying Body to relieve his burden, Jing Yuan's Remembrance is excellent, so he will never forget it.
However, perhaps because of his youthful mindset, Jing Yuan now feels like catching up with Jingliu.
Ah, that silhouette of me being chased and beaten by Jingliu in the sunset—that's my lost youth...
"They certainly won't cause any major trouble on the Xianzhou, but their very presence in this world could be a source of chaos. Jing Yuan, you may not know this, but it's very easy for someone who has never embarked on Path of Path to do so upon arriving in this world."
"So what? If Pathstrider is glanced at by Aeon, the glance will only be felt by the Pathstrider himself, unless..." Jing Yuan suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Li.
"Unless what?"
"Unless they are truly exceptional, exceptional enough to earn the Aeon's special attention—for example, being invited into the Genius Society or becoming Emanator... Chen Li, our Luofu Xianzhou is suffering!"
"Don't complain yet. You still have me, don't you? Those people from other worlds won't have any impact when they first arrive in this world. There will only be unusual phenomena when they do things that correspond to their Path, so you don't need to worry." Chen Li quickly comforted Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan, however, was not happy at all, because he remembered the pink sun that had enveloped the Xianzhou for several days not long ago.
Although Luofu Xianzhou's GDP miraculously experienced a brief increase during the days when the pink sun appeared, but...
Chen Li came to this world with Miracle Card that can record Miracles, but it will take some time for this world to accept these Miracle records in order to trigger the rules of the world. His performance in this world is his Path.
Other beings from other worlds, lacking convenient items like Miracle Cards, need to actually accomplish something in this world to trigger their Path. They cannot directly convert their achievements in the other world into records in this world.
Therefore, normally speaking, it's rare for someone to be stared at by Aeon the moment they arrive in another world...
Well, normally speaking...
"So what exactly was your mentality when you brought the Star Cup to this world?!" Chen Li asked, grabbing Tet's ear.
"Of course, it's for self-defense." Realizing he might have gotten into trouble, Tet didn't dare to argue.
Chen Li glared at Tet, then tossed his Friends Circle into the sky, capturing the glimpse of the Aeon of Intellect.
Looking at the Friends Circle that had returned to his control, Chen Li felt a mix of emotions.
Because Chen Li's Friends Circle includes more than just the Aeon of Intellect.
Trailblaze, Elation, mystery, Remembrance, Erudition, Destruction, Harmony, Equilibrium, Abundance, the Hunt...
The ten "glimpses of the Aeon" huddled together in a small Friends Circle are enough to make two mahjong tables.
Wait a minute, Aeon of Joy, where did you pull out that mahjong set from?
"Aha..." Tet scratched his head as he looked at the scene in Chen Li's Friends Circle.
After receiving the Star Cup, Tet became the supreme god, and since Tet himself is a god, he could sense that the various phantoms in his Friends Circle seemed to be quite extraordinary beings.
"Jing Yuan, I really envy you. You can't see anything," Chen Li said, turning to Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan doesn't have the Dharma Eye, nor is he a god, so he wouldn't see so many messy things.
"At least I saw the Hunt ... and I'm not blind." Jing Yuan pointed to the Friends Circle that had turned into a small ball in Chen Li's hand.
Moreover, it is perfectly normal for Jing Yuan, as the Path of The Hunt Envoy, to be able to sense the fluctuations of the Hunt.
Jing Yuan felt incredibly stupid, truly.
How could I have believed Chen Li's nonsense, thinking that as long as I treated these guests carefully, they wouldn't cause any major trouble?
"I think I can explain..."
"Okay, then you'd better explain clearly."
"The appearance of the three Aeon —Trailblaze, Mystery, and Remembrance —is because the Star Cup in this kid's hand represents another Worldview. These three Aeon, seeing a new and complete world, will naturally take a second look. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"
The Aeon is dead, but Path continues.
If a new world is discovered outside of this world, the dead Aeon of Trailblaze will naturally have no reaction. But what if a complete "world" squeezes into this world?
The Star Cup draws attention to one's Path.
Regardless of whether the Star Cup can grant omniscience and omnipotence in another world, its meaning is entirely different.
The Aeon of Remembrance wants to record this unfamiliar world, while the Mystery wants to conceal this world so that others cannot observe it. Moreover, the Star Cup is indeed another kind of mystery to this world.
"Erudition appeared because this Star Cup represents omniscience and omnipotence. Destruction appeared because the other world experienced a 6,000-year war because of this Star Cup. Harmony appeared because this supreme god intends to transform the other world into a game world where everyone can have fun together. Abundance appeared because the other world possesses the Gift of Abundance. The Hunt appeared also because the other world possesses the Gift of Abundance. Equilibrium appeared because the Star Cup's strength far exceeds that of ordinary Pathstrider, and he wants to try to Equilibrium it."
"That makes sense. But what about Elation?"
Jing Yuan felt that Chen Li's explanation was very reasonable, especially the explanation for the appearance of the two Aeon, Abundance and the Hunt.
"Maybe it's because everyone's here, and we could even fill two tables at Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame, so we wanted to play cards with our friends?"
"... Do you think I believe that? Besides, this [Elation] is so active, it's not like Aeon's glance, it's like Aeon descending," Jing Yuan said.
How could Aeon's gaze be so agile? And it's even less likely that he'd pull someone else into playing cards.
"Perhaps it's because... the glances from other Aeon are merely automatic reactions of Path, while this one is remotely controlling it?"
"???" Jing Yuan was startled, then quickly looked around, but found no suspicious figures.
If we're talking about suspicious people, it's Chen Li's friends who are the most suspicious.
A man wearing Black Crown, a loli woman who seemed to lack any human aura and was like Intelligent Machines, a supreme god in Chen Li's words who held an omniscient and omnipotent Star Cup but looked like a child, a tall man with 18 wings growing from his back and surrounding him, and a pink-haired woman with wings growing from her back and a halo on her head who was bound like a caterpillar.
Jing Yuan glanced suspiciously at the unusually active projection of the Aeon of Joy in his Friends Circle, and then immediately gave up thinking about it.
After all, he is the Aeon of Joy and the Changle Tian Jun; whatever he does does will not contradict his character.
Why are you worrying about this?
"It should... be gone, right?" Jing Yuan looked up at the sky with lingering fear.
Although Jing Yuan couldn't see anything, Jing Yuan knew that every time Chen Li posted Friends Circle to the sky, it meant that an Aeon had glanced down at the Xianzhou.
A normal glance would certainly not affect the Xianzhou, but this scene was clearly abnormal.
"That's all, really, that's all. Let me introduce you. This is Riku, the leader of the humans in this other world. This is Shuvi, the wife of the leader of the humans in this other world and a meritorious member of the Ex Machina Race. This is Tet, the supreme god of this other world. This is the God of War, the most powerful god in this other world. This is Gibril, a piece of trash."
"Ugh ugh ugh." Upon hearing Chen Li's introduction, Gibril, who was tied up like a caterpillar, tried to bounce a few times.
"This lineup Taiyi from what you described, Chen Li, right? You originally said there would only be three people."
"I'm asking you." Chen Li looked at Tet.
"The God of War insisted that I bring Him to this other world to see it, otherwise he would have attacked me and killed me. What could I do? I could only lend Him my backup Friends Circle Terminal." Tet sighed.
Riku won the game, obtaining the Star Cup without the sacrifice of other races or gods, but the existence of the God of War is also a problem for Tet.
Because he didn't like Tet.
In order to resolve the uncertainty surrounding the God of War, Tet brought the God of War along as well.
"How is it? Are you satisfied now?" Tet turned to the God of War and asked.
"I'm satisfied. I'm not the strongest in this world, and I can feel that. Because my strength is constantly increasing, I just don't know where the limit is," the God of War said.
The Divine Marrow of the God of War is to be the strongest, but he was also confused about whether he, the strongest, could be defeated by the weakest. However, upon arriving in this world and discovering that he was not the strongest, the God of War found peace.
"My friend, would you be interested in a friendly spar?" The God of War challenged Jing Yuan to a duel.
Jing Yuan didn't speak, but looked at Chen Li.
"This God of War possesses Divine Marrow called 'Strongest.' No matter how powerful the enemy, he will become stronger than them because of this concept. Of course, there is an upper limit. The upper limit is the Spirit Corridor. His combat power in this world is second only to the Aeon... which is comparable to Emanator. And finally being able to fight someone of equal strength seems to be a very happy thing for him." Chen Li gave a brief introduction to the God of War.
If you don't know how to describe someone's combat strength, you can just say they are at the Emanator level.
Because in this world, the difference between Emanator is greater than the difference between Emanator human and a dog.
And as long as someone is stronger than an ordinary Pathstrider, they can be said to be second only to the Aeon.
