The Memories of Ye Yunqing

Ever since Bastian mentioned signing him up for the Outer Battlefield, although Xiao Si hadn't made a sound, Bai Muye could clearly sense a mood of "beaming with joy and heart-bursting" excitement radiating from it.

This only made Bai Muye feel more sullen, so he decided to give it the cold shoulder for a few days.

However, hearing the serious tone in its voice now, Bai Muye left a sliver of consciousness on guard outside while directing the rest into his sea of consciousness.

"What happened?" Bai Muye asked in a low voice.

"I was bored just now, so I took a look at Ye Yunqing's memories. Heh, guess what?" Xiao Si used that cheeky tone it had picked up from somewhere.

"Do you want me to guess if I want to guess?" Bai Muye retorted irritably.

"Uh, fine," Xiao Si knew he was in a bad mood, so it gave the answer directly, "I just discovered that this Ye Yunqing was actually a traitor to your so-called human race..."

"Oh?" Bai Muye was greatly surprised and urged, "Show me, quickly."

Xiao Si tossed the memories over to him, and Bai Muye browsed through them hurriedly.

Ye Yunqing came from a remote, low-level civilization within the Wild Peak Universe Kingdom. The environment of his home planet was harsh, filled with many fierce beasts, and beast tides erupted frequently.

People on the planet could only leave to become citizens of that low-level civilization once they reached the Planet Rank.

When Ye Yunqing was very young, his family died in a beast tide. Although he had good cultivation talent, he had no teacher and had to figure everything out on his own. After reaching the Apprentice Ninth Tier, he couldn't find a way to break through to the Planet Rank.

The turning point came from a Pioneer on the planet. This Pioneer had reached the Planet Rank thousands of years ago, left the planet to venture out, and returned as a Universe Rank.

This Pioneer selected a group of talented youths on the planet to take away, and Ye Yunqing was among them.

Ye Yunqing and the others were first trained in a camp. Most of them broke through to the Planet Rank, while the few who didn't simply vanished.

After breaking through, Ye Yunqing was taken to another highly secretive training camp to undergo even more rigorous training. At the same time, he was constantly brainwashed; the instructors in the camp used various illusions to make them believe that the human race was a tumor in the universe that should be eradicated.

The training camp held regular tests, and those with high resistance to the illusions or poor brainwashing results would soon disappear.

After reaching the Star Rank, Ye Yunqing and the others began forming squads to carry out missions, including looting and assassinations.

Completing missions would earn rewards like treasures or secret manuals to boost cultivation, while failing meant facing cruel punishment.

Ye Yunqing was highly efficient at completing missions, and after receiving various rewards, he quickly reached the Universe Rank.

Universe Rank missions involved more than just looting and assassinations; they also included intelligence gathering and collecting various data.

By some stroke of luck, Ye Yunqing once collected a piece of very important intelligence and was rewarded with a secret manual regarding force amplitude—White Elephant.

After practicing White Elephant, Ye Yunqing's combat power increased rapidly. Once he grasped a domain, Ye Yunqing applied to his instructor for a life-and-death battle.

His idea was that if he could earn the title of Giant Axe Warrior through life-and-death battles, he might be recruited into the Giant Axe Arena, or at the very least, easily enter other large organizations, making it easier to collect intelligence.

In the eyes of the instructors, Ye Yunqing and the others were pawns that could be discarded at any time. Since a pawn had such initiative, the instructor naturally supported it.

Thus, Ye Yunqing's journey of life-and-death battles began. He won continuously, and for every hundred wins, he was rewarded with treasures that helped with cultivation or enhanced combat power. The trident in his hand was a reward for three hundred consecutive wins.

Using these treasures, he not only cultivated White Elephant to the Great Completion stage but eventually reached the Domain Ninth Layer.

Until the final match, where he died at the hands of Bai Muye.

Looking at Ye Yunqing's memories, his experiences were quite similar to Bai Muye's—both had undergone harsh training, and their lives were held in the hands of others.

"How stingy, they only gave him one secret manual, and everything else was just stuff to boost cultivation that Ye Yunqing had already used up..."

Bai Muye muttered, taking a dagger carved from the tooth of an unknown beast out of his Space Ring.

This Space Ring had dimensions of ten meters in length, width, and height, making it the lowest grade of storage space. Aside from some daily necessities, only the trident and the battle suit had any real value.

The dagger looked plain, but it was actually made from the tooth of a monster beast called a "Myriad-Tooth Earthworm." Each dagger was linked to the main tooth of a Myriad-Tooth Earthworm, which could be used to transmit information across one-third of a universe kingdom.

Beyond that distance, the transmission of information would decay to the point of being unrecognizable.

"How do you plan to handle this?" Xiao Si asked with interest.

To it, this was a matter of complete indifference. Whether it was humans or the Monster Race, as long as they were a race with a soul, they were all categorized as "food" in its eyes. Of course, it wouldn't reveal this view in front of Bai Muye.

After all, it was a being born outside the Cage; even if it was just a Seed now, it still understood these social nuances.

"Either ignore it or report it to the Virtual Universe system..." Bai Muye thought for a moment, "But I think I'll tell Samao about this and give him the credit; it'll count as returning a favor..."

"Without proof, how will you report it?" Xiao Si asked, puzzled.

"Simple, I'll just say that while I was organizing my storage space, I noticed this dagger was a bit unusual..."

This dagger was primarily used for transmitting information. After special refinement, it also had an information storage function. However, viewing the information inside required extremely complex operations to prevent the dagger from accidentally falling into the hands of outsiders.

Bai Muye had checked Ye Yunqing's memories, so he naturally knew how to do it. He went in and took a look; there were still a few messages stored inside.

There were missions issued by his superiors and some replies he had sent. As long as these messages existed, it could prove that Ye Yunqing was indeed a traitor to the human race.

After checking, he disabled the complex viewing method and changed it to a mode where one could view it just by holding the dagger; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain how he had discovered the anomaly.

After a moment of thought, a sliver of his consciousness quickly connected to the Virtual Universe.

In an ancient city filled with a sense of vicissitudes, the streets were crowded with pedestrians of varying heights and diverse races.

Swish!

A two-meter-tall youth appeared out of thin air on the street, his eyes bright and piercing beneath a head of black, short-cropped hair.

Bai Muye was dressed in simple gray clothes, with a little sprite sitting on his shoulder.

"It feels so good to have no restrictions..." Bai Muye looked at the bustling street and sighed sincerely.

He had been constantly obsessed with wanting to know exactly which timeline he was in, but there was plenty of time; for now, he had to attend to business.

"Master, I have detected an unlinked Cosmic Galaxy Bank account. Would you like to link it?"

"Link it."

"Linked." The Little Sprite on his shoulder chirped happily, "Does Master have any other instructions?"

"I want to send an email. How do I do that?"

"No problem. I will bring up the email interface. You can edit the content, and as long as you enter the recipient's Virtual Universe ID and click send, it will be done."

Luoluobai Muye moved slightly away from the center of the street and stood by the curb. In the email interface brought up by the Little Sprite, he finished editing the content he had prepared, entered the Virtual Universe ID of Samao, and clicked send.

Samao, having returned to his residence, was still feeling somewhat dejected and was just about to have a drink when he received an email.

Seeing that the sender was signed as Luoluobai Muye, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Sending me an email so soon? Is he here to thank me?"

He clicked to view the contents of the email, and what met his eyes made his eyes widen in shock.
