After reviewing his own memories, Li Ke had only one thought: he was surprised he hadn't cried like a gretchin.
If Naruto was a cesspit, then the world of this Warhammer Li Ke, where Nurgle existed, was a cesspit within a cesspit. Compared to the world he inhabited, even a cesspit would be considered a pleasant environment. Groups that people on Earth would consider anti-human could almost be considered saints there.
It was a world where nothing beautiful existed, nor did any hope. Everything in the world was rotting, and everything was moving toward tragedy and distortion.
There was no loyalty, no beauty; everything that seemed good was actually bait from the Chaos Gods, designed to make one fall and suffer more effectively.
Nurgle, the God of Life, could grant you eternal life, but he loved everything on your body equally.
The parasites, microorganisms, and bacteria on you would all be granted prosperity by him, turning you into a deformed, infected mass.
Tzeentch, the God of Wisdom, was forever plotting betrayal and schemes; there was never a moment where you could feel at ease.
Slaanesh, the God of Love, represented desires that could never be satisfied, forever breaking through the bottom line of one's own self.
Khorne, the God of Courage, forever pursued violence; for the sake of battle, one could kill even those closest to them.
The most disgusting part was that these four gods were almost omnipresent throughout the entire universe—at least in the part of the universe where Warhammer Li Ke resided. Once you received their attention, whether you wanted it or not, their power would enter your body and lead you to a successful fall.
Even when they focused on you, everything you saw would be altered:
The beauty you saw was actually a monster in truth; the monster you killed was your relative or friend; the medicine you concocted would inexplicably turn into poison; the ever-increasing desire for battle was not your courage, but the prelude to your madness...
"Man, brother, this... my condolences."
Naruto Li Ke didn't know what to say. In such a world, knowing more was increasingly bad for one's health, especially after learning the identities of the four gods—that was even more hopeless.
It could be said that if your cheat didn't allow you to destroy a planet in an instant, you wouldn't be able to survive in the Warhammer world.
But at this moment, French Li Ke spoke up from the side.
"No, his world should still have hope. His world might not be the biggest cesspit, but rather Warhammer Fantasy, because there are other gods here, and it might even be a D&D crossover with Warhammer... Of course, his situation is still very dangerous."
French Li Ke offered a reminder, and Li Ke suddenly realized that Warhammer Li Ke's world had magic and other gods!
Although the Warhammer worlds were all desperate, Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy were actually quite different; at the very least, the power levels of the Chaos Gods were not the same.
In Warhammer 40k, whether in terms of technological prowess or raw power, it crushed Warhammer Fantasy. It was very easy for the Chaos Gods to destroy a planet there, but in Warhammer Fantasy, there were still other gods—the kind of benevolent deities who could hang the Chaos Gods up and beat them.
Simply put, Warhammer Fantasy was slightly friendlier to transmigrators.
"But the problem is..."
Warhammer Li Ke spoke up himself.
"If I am on a remote planet in Warhammer 40k, and the other gods are just the Chaos Gods playing roles, and the so-called magic is also just the power of the Chaos Gods, then the so-called Warhammer Fantasy is just nonsense."
Everyone fell silent again. If it were gods from other worlds, few would be so bored as to create a bunch of messy things just to toy with people.
But if it were Warhammer, that would be perfectly normal.
"One must always hold onto hope. After all, no matter how disgusting the four gods are, one must strive to live on."
Apocalypse Li Ke didn't feel much. In the dozen or so years he had lived in the apocalypse, he had grown accustomed to the passing of life; he didn't even know how he had persisted himself. Warhammer Li Ke's world was not much different from his own.
Therefore, he firmly believed that as long as one kept moving forward, the path would not be cut off, and humanity could still reignite the sparks of civilization.
"That's right, one must always keep moving forward."
Warhammer Li Ke also revealed a smile. He had come to terms with it; the fact that he had transmigrated into a suspected Warhammer world was already a reality, and saying anything else was useless.
The only thing he had to do was survive and keep walking.
It was just a pity that the few of them didn't know much about Warhammer; being able to distinguish between Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k was already their limit.
So, Type-Moon Li Ke spoke up.
"If that's the case, it's best you don't use my talent. If you summon a Primarch or The Emperor, that would be one thing, but if it's a Chaos faction, it would be very troublesome."
Warhammer Li Ke nodded. He hadn't intended to use it anyway. Using Type-Moon Li Ke's power in a world without gods was fine, but using it in a world with gods was purely asking for trouble.
For him, the most practical talent was Daily Life Li Ke's. As for the talents of French Li Ke, Type-Moon Li Ke, and Smiling Proud Li Ke, it was hard to say if they would be a good thing in his world.
"I know, but with Daily Life Li Ke's power, as long as it's not an outrageous monster, I can actually take my uncle and escape."
Warhammer Li Ke clenched his fists. They could only share talents and memories, but it had to be said that the super-strong physical fitness shared by Daily Life Li Ke was truly useful.
This was the absolute minimum baseline!
"I don't know if internal energy can be used in your world... Forget it, who knows what internal energy will turn into in that world? Everything depends on you."
Smiling Proud Li Ke didn't know what else to say; the two new Li Kes were truly the most miserable of the miserable.
"Hahaha, after all, my understanding of my world is still too little. My world might even be D&D."
Warhammer Li Ke was quite carefree. After all, if it was the Warhammer he knew, this golden finger might also be a trick by the Chaos Four.
If one really doubted everything, then one could do nothing.
The most critical thing was that because his status was basically that of a serf, his knowledge of his world was too limited. He only knew there were elves, magic, and the background was roughly that of a dark Middle Ages. So, if you asked him what kind of world it was, he really couldn't tell.
After all, D&D and Warhammer had borrowed from each other, and World of Warcraft had also copied a lot; in many modules, the gods of both sides even made guest appearances.
Therefore, his world could also be a D&D world with the Chaos Four, where Nurgle was just a minor god who could be beaten by mainstream deities, and the god who beat him might even shrug and say, "Little god of the mortal realm, you tried your best."
After all, in the worldview of such tabletop games, anything is possible.
In short, striving to survive and improving one's own strength was the most important thing.
"Yeah, live on, work hard..."
Radiation Li Ke nodded, his eyes ancient and full of poetic sentiment.
The atmosphere in the Black Mist Space instantly became artistic.
"Yeah, hmm, French Li Ke, did you find the information over there?"
Smiling Proud Li Ke coughed awkwardly, then looked at French Li Ke, who nodded.
"I found it. The son of my mother's partner who makes paper straws has a master's degree in economic history and is quite knowledgeable about historical matters. So, I asked my mother to order more paper straws. After I made this request, my mother's partner said he would have his son work diligently like a cow or horse to help me find the materials. When I came in, the first batch of materials had already arrived with the paper straws."
He had the best family background among them all, so when he spoke, he naturally exuded a sense of being a rich heir.
"That's good, because finding books is really difficult."
Smiling Proud Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief. With the collection of books at the Mount Hua Sect, it was no problem for him to become a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the imperial examinations at the county level), but becoming a Juren (a scholar who passed the imperial examinations at the provincial level) and beyond was a different story.
He himself was also trying hard to find fellow students, but unfortunately, he couldn't leave the mountain to live elsewhere until he passed the Xiucai exam. And if Zuo Lengchan knew he was preparing for the Xiucai exam, who knew what underhanded tactics he might employ.
So, it was quite frustrating.
The power dynamics of the martial arts world in Smiling Proud Wanderer were not much grander than in Naruto.
"Leave this to me. Beauxbatons isn't too far, I'll check it out and give it to you then."
French Li Ke nodded. Then, Daily Life Li Ke, who had been observing the experiences of Smiling Proud Li Ke and French Li Ke during this time, spoke up.
"Speaking of which, you didn't go to Hogwarts... Doesn't that completely prevent you from entering the plot?"
He felt a bit regretful. Although he himself found Hogwarts a bit boring when reading Harry Potter fanfiction, and he was almost sick of Hermione Granger being the female lead.
But he had to admit, if he really went to that world, not going to Hogwarts would feel like something was missing.
"I've considered that too."
French Li Ke nodded.
"But consider this: as a Frenchman, if I proposed to study in Britain, wouldn't people around me think I'm crazy? It's more realistic to study at a magic school in China."
Britain and France were either fighting or secretly plotting against each other, even in the ordinary world. Expecting their mages to unite was asking too much.
"Besides, going to Hogwarts is just having nothing to do... Can you really attend classes properly there? Going to Hogwarts just for Hermione is meaningless. If you really want to pursue her, you could do it during the Goblet of Fire."
French Li Ke added another jab.
That place, Hogwarts, was a mess. From the seventh year onwards, it was either civil war or various accidents, and students even died. The already small number of students was divided into four houses that looked down on each other. Forming a study group required overcoming inter-house barriers, which was simply idiotic.
The difficulty of studying properly in such a place was truly not ordinary. Moreover, Li Ke didn't think Voldemort was a particularly capable individual. His power might be stronger than Grindelwald's, but their style and destructive power were on completely different levels.
He was just a student; learning magic first was more important. Voldemort wasn't worth his time.
"Ah, this..."
Daily Life Li Ke scratched his head. He really hadn't noticed these things.
Perhaps it was because his world was too peaceful, and he was subtly different from the other Li Kes. At least in many matters, he didn't think as much as they did.
However, French Li Ke also flipped through Daily Life Li Ke's memories from this period and spoke with some exasperation.
"But you're really... really sticking to the persona of a super-human and a top student?"
Daily Life Li Ke felt a bit embarrassed. When he first arrived this time, it happened to be the sports meet, and he relied on his talent to sign up for all the non-conflicting events.
The result was a grand slam. He won every individual event he participated in. And in team events, as long as they involved physical contact like basketball, he could easily dominate the entire court.
Not to mention, using the throwing techniques of Smiling Proud Li Ke and Naruto Li Ke to throw basketballs and kick balls, scoring was simply too easy.
Even playing marbles or card games with children, he could use the force control techniques of the two! Winning the grand slam and becoming the king of the children!
"You actually used my hard-earned ninja techniques to win children's cards, and you didn't even leave them any! You're truly a scoundrel..."
Naruto Li Ke clutched his face in pain. He really wished he could switch with Daily Life Li Ke! He envied this kind of uselessness in peacetime!
"Hahaha, well, my world is a bit too peaceful, and those cards were really interesting. Oh, right, Smiling Proud, my world doesn't have the imperial examination system or anything like that, but I do have corn and potatoes with me... I checked online and found that the potatoes and corn in my world can also enhance soil fertility, and there's no need to worry about detoxification. At least when I saw other farmers planting them, they didn't use fertilizers or pesticides, and there was no mention of detoxification."
Daily Life Li Ke was a bit embarrassed, and he couldn't help but scratch his head, appearing to have a pure beauty.
But he took out a few potatoes and a few ears of corn from his pocket.
"Also, planting these potatoes and corn together can repel insects. The corn stalks are sweeter than sugarcane. The information says the sugar content is higher than in sugar beets. Only the roots cannot be eaten because they absorb nearby radiation and pollutants... Oh, oh! Right! The leaves of this type of corn can also be fermented to make tobacco, which is said to taste quite good and is liked by many people."
After he finished speaking, the Li Kes in the space fell silent, especially Apocalypse Li Ke, who was completely stunned.
"Thank you, but I think... you shouldn't give this to me in a hurry. You should give it to Apocalypse Li Ke first. Also, what's going on with the technology in your world? Why is it so exaggerated? And why didn't you mention this earlier!"
Smiling Proud Li Ke's composure cracked because he realized Daily Life Li Ke seemed genuinely naive!
With these things, he could even become an emperor!
The previous chapter was heavily revised, mainly adding Madara Uchiha's role and removing a lot of political commentary.
But it doesn't affect much if you don't read it.
