A fellow countryman? This "fellow countryman" was a villain with a built-in dark-type golden finger!
"This array plate has no offensive power, but it can directly control a person's soul," Lin Xiaoyao explained to Ling Yi while controlling the array plate.
"You outsiders are not strong, but you are difficult to kill. Even if you are killed, you will only lose a little bit of your soul power, which will be fully recovered in a month or so."
"Since we can't kill them, we'll control their souls." Lin Xiaoyao pointed at the players below who were already frozen in place and sneered repeatedly.
"These fools, thinking themselves immortal, act with Wuji, causing destruction every time they come across the land."
Ling Yi gave an awkward laugh. He was an outsider too, and he was causing trouble as well.
Moreover, it seems that the damage he caused was far greater than what these people did.
Seemingly sensing Ling Yi's thoughts, Lin Xiaoyao explained, "You are different from them. They are the Source Colonisers. You are merely pawns being used by MA."
"Furthermore, MA will never allow you to grow up and threaten their existence. Your strength has improved so Divine Speed that you would probably have been targeted by them long ago in your world."
"If you go back, be careful. Although you Li Qiang now, you are still no match for Origin God."
" Origin God?"
"Yes, the leader of MA, it was he who used some method to open the Myriad Worlds Passage, sending people from your world to various other worlds to Plunder their Power of Origin."
"We suspect that this person has obtained a supreme treasure. If you can destroy that treasure, then Myriad Worlds will be at peace; if you cannot, then it could be a catastrophe for Myriad Worlds."
Ling Yi didn't answer, but instead looked at the nine MA members below and asked, "They have a strong Aura of energy on them, is this the Power of Origin?"
"You can Perception it?" Lin Xiaoyao and the others were all very surprised.
"Well, the Spirit Detection Technique isn't difficult to learn!" Ling Yi explained, then landed in front of one of the MAs.
Lin Xiaoyao and the others were horrified. Wasn't this enlightenment a bit too heaven-defying?
Or perhaps Ling Yi had learned this Spirit Detection Technique before?
But that's not important; what they're really curious about is what Ling Yi will do next.
What would Ling Yi do? He doesn't know how to interrogate, and torture is too troublesome. Ling Yi has more direct methods.
This all started with the Spirit Detection Technique.
The Spirit Detection Technique, at the Entry level, can Probe their power system, energy source, and cultivation level.
At the Proficiency level, one can Probe the soul and consciousness of others, but that's all; for example, one can Probe at a glance whether the soul is strong or damaged.
The Minor Accomplishment Completion Realm, the Great Accomplishment Completion Realm, and the Master Realm simply increase the scope of Probe. For example, Qi Refining can detect Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Severing without being detected.
Once it becomes Divine Ability, it is not only able to Probe, but also to directly read and modify the soul and consciousness of others, making it extremely domineering.
After obtaining the Spirit Detection Technique, Ling Yi immediately threw it into the Dark Dimension, allowing two million human Shadow Guards to comprehend it together. This was the first time Ling Yi had used so many Shadow Guards to comprehend a technique together.
As a result, the technique advanced to the level of Divine Ability in just ten minutes.
Ling Yi pressed his hand directly onto one of the people's foreheads, activating his Spirit-Probing Divine Ability ability. The next moment, the person's memories began to play before Ling Yi's eyes like a Ying Yi.
Ling Yi Ling Yi over some unimportant memories and quickly extracted the information he wanted from the person's mind.
The Origin God appeared out of nowhere in the Ugly Nation a hundred years ago, Sweep the Ugly Nation's underground forces with its overwhelming power.
In just three years, he became the underground emperor of the Ugly Nation, and with his extraordinary insight, he created a vast business empire called... Earth Commercial Alliance.
Upon seeing this, Ling Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.
Earth—perhaps the people of this world are completely unfamiliar with this name, but as a transmigrator, Ling Yi Supreme Purity what this name represents.
This Origin God is actually a transmigrator?
If it's a time traveler, then according to the usual tropes, they'll definitely have a cheat code.
In other words, this Origin God might not have opened up the Myriad Worlds with some supreme treasure, but rather with a cheat system or similar cheat ability?
"This is troublesome!" Ling Yi muttered.
It's not that Ling Yi was unwilling to take action because the other party was from the same hometown. After all, whether they were from the same hometown or not was another matter. There are so many Parallel World, who knows if this is Earth from Parallel World!
Moreover, the purpose of this so-called Origin God is somewhat evil; it actually seeks to become the ruler of Myriad Worlds by destroying the world and then Save the World.
Regardless of whether he's a time traveler or not, this person is definitely a villain.
It's unclear whether this was his intention or a system task.
This is not impossible. You see, some online novels Protagonist systems, especially those with "dark-themed" missions...
Those who readily resort to annihilation or similar tactics often have a massive conspiracy behind them.
This is precisely the trouble Ling Yi was referring to.
Ling Yi composed himself and continued browsing the person's memories, quickly finding a lot of key information.
These MA members Central City bear the Contract Brand in their souls, and their consciousness is bound by multiple layers of shackles.
If Ling Yi hadn't advanced his Spirit Detection Technique to Divine Ability, it would have been impossible for him to bypass these constraints and directly read this person's memories.
MA members are now located all over the world and are collaborating with high-level officials in various countries.
Just as Shi Meng had told him before, MA is divided into overt members and covert members.
The publicly known members are the MA that the general public knows, which seems to have just been established and has only a few members.
The real MA members, on the other hand, mainly monitor and eliminate World Walker in various countries.
The term "World Walker" refers to a player whose strength has reached the Fifth Tier.
MA has its own standard for classifying player strength. First Tier is roughly equivalent to a level 10 Shadow Guards, which is the Qi Refining Realm level.
The Second Tier is roughly equivalent to a level 20 Shadow Guards, which is the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation level. Similarly, the Fifth Tier is for players above the Nascent Soul Realm, which is the strength of a level 50 Shadow Guards.
MA has built spirit towers in almost every city around the world to Probe player levels.
Any player who reaches Fifth Tier will immediately be targeted by the MA (Management Assistant), and MA members will be dispatched to Capture and eliminate them.
No, it's not just Fifth Tier; over the years, any player who has reached Second Tier or higher has been hunted down by MA.
This is why there have been so few high-level players in the world over the years.
In addition, MA constantly promotes the idea that dungeon worlds are useless, reducing the average person's desire to explore dungeon worlds.
The Origin God not only want to control the real world, but also want to control All Heavens and Myriad Worlds; they are truly ambitious.
Ling Yi originally wanted to alter this person's memories to make him work for him and become a spy within MA.
But after seeing this person, the thought immediately vanished from my memory.
The crimes committed are too numerous to list; all those involved in MA deserve to die.
Judging from this limited glimpse, it's likely that the so-called "fellow villager" is by no means a kind person.
Ling Yi raised his hand and instantly annihilated the person's consciousness.
Yes, death in the instance world is not true death, but if consciousness is completely extinguished, the person will become a vegetable in the real world.
Ling Yi used the same method to completely annihilate the consciousness of these people.
Lin Xiaoyao and the others also sensed the dissipation of these people's consciousness and were somewhat shocked.
They naturally knew that obliterating consciousness would truly kill these people, but they had tried many methods before without success.
These people's souls are all protected by strong barriers, making them extremely difficult to break through.
But now, Ling Yi has done it with ease.
"Young friend Ling, how did you do that?"
Ling Yi didn't hide anything. "If you can cultivate the Spirit Detection Technique to the Perfection level or above, you can naturally do it too."
Lin Xiaoyao and the others were taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.
Beyond the Perfection level? What kind of comprehension would be required to achieve that? Moreover, they had never heard of anyone being able to continue to comprehend techniques after reaching the Perfection level.
This was also beyond their comprehension.
"I need to cultivate in this world for a longer period of time, and I also need more people to become my Shadow Guards." Ling Yi must push his strength to its Limit in this world.
"This..."
Everyone hesitated. The reason they didn't expel Ling Yi, and even allowed Ling Yi to cause trouble in this world, was simply to make Ling Yi stronger and counterbalance the so-called Origin God.
Ultimately, however, Ling Yi was also an outsider, and they didn't trust Ling Yi.
"I will stop the invasion from Myriad Worlds and completely close the Myriad Worlds Passage, but I am not strong enough right now. My strength comes from the number of my Shadow Guards."
"A single hair can move the whole body. Once the Myriad Worlds Passage is opened, no living being in any realm can remain unaffected! Besides, do you really think that Origin God, with his ambition, would let this world go?"
"Where will you be when the other person grows up?"
Ling Yi knew that the people of this world wanted to protect themselves, but once the Myriad Worlds Passage opened, the real world would become a transit point for All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and at that time, no world would be able to remain uninvolved.
Just then, a figure flew in from a distance and landed directly in front of Ling Yi.
"Ordinary people are obviously out of the question, but death row inmates are at your disposal."
The visitor was none other than Shi Meng, the city lord of Southern Wilderness Stone City.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiaoyao said, "Alright! I will issue an imperial decree later, instructing all countries to prepare death row inmates to be sent there..."
"Just let me know when you're ready, and I'll send my Shadow Guards over," Ling Yi said.
Lin Xiaoyao clasped his hands in Fist Dao, "Young friend Ling, I hope you can prevent the opening of the Myriad Worlds Passage and stop the ambitions of the Origin God; otherwise, it will surely be a disaster for Myriad Worlds."
"Heh, with my current strength, once I return, I will inevitably be hunted down by MA. Only one of me and that Origin God can survive."
Everyone nodded; that was indeed the case.
The Origin God fears that players will grow stronger, and Ling Yi's current strength has already exceeded the Fifth Tier, which will inevitably arouse the Origin God's suspicion.
Therefore, between the two of them, it can only be a matter of life and death.
"In addition, find more techniques that can be cultivated by those in the Qi Refining Realm, any type, the more the better."
Techniques can be upgraded to Divine Ability, but Ling Yi felt that Divine Ability were still not the end goal.
If one's Divine Ability were to advance to the First Tier, what would it be? Ling Yi thought of two words: laws.
That "fellow villager" locked away the Law of the Heavenly Dao and All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, leaving only the World Consciousness of each world.
That must be because of the Law of the Heavenly Dao.
If Ling Yi can advance to the level of laws through Divine Ability powers and thus gain control over them, he might reap unexpected rewards.
Regardless, Ling Yi had to give it a try.
Although no one understood why Ling Yi needed Qi Refining Realm technique, they had no choice but to Ling Yi Ling Yi.
Next, under Shi Meng's arrangement, Ling Yi settled down in the Southern Wilderness Stone City.
The others then went to arrange their own divine decrees and collect magical techniques for Ling Yi.
In the blink of an eye, a century has passed...
