In the Glory Canyon, inside the Red Team's base, Stone City.
After three hours of playing Wushuang, Ling Yi gradually started to get Bored.
Now that he could perfectly control his power, he had even less desire to continue grinding.
So they built three defensive towers directly in the middle lane.
They have now returned to the base city.
Upon seeing Ling Yi arrive, Meng Yue spoke first, " Peng Bahai, the mayor of Dafeng City, just issued an announcement that Dafeng City will be holding a Dafeng City Youth Professional Competition starting tomorrow."
"What kind of competition?" Ling Yi was taken aback. When had Dafeng City ever held such a competition?
"Participants must be Awakened within the past year, and their level cannot exceed 25. The rewards are very generous; the first place winner will receive 10 million gold coins, a the Myth equipment piece, and two universal skill books."
"You call this a generous reward?" Ling Yi scoffed.
Meng Yue shrugged. "What do you think of this match?"
"A conspiracy? No, this is an open conspiracy. They probably want to lure us into participating in this competition." Ling Yi scoffed.
"So, are you going or not?" Meng Yue asked.
"Go ahead, why don't you go?"
"You think this small reward is enough?"
" Bored anyway. Isn't Peng Bahai just looking for someone to clear the Nether Forest Abyss dungeon? Let's just step forward and admit it."
"So we won't have to sneak around when farming dungeons later."
In the past, Ling Yi might have hesitated, but now, Ling Yi is fearless.
His current strength, while not invincible, is enough to protect himself.
Why hide it then?
What's more, besides the equipment stacking, Ling Yi also has the "Villain Sacred Physique" cheat code! It's the perfect opportunity to stir up trouble.
Meng Yue was indifferent to Ling Yi's decision.
Their thoughts were similar to Ling Yi's; since they were both invincible, there was no need to be cowardly.
Ling Yi's current attributes are already exaggerated enough. After completing the Limit First Reincarnation in seven days, Ling Yi's strength will double again.
By then, Ling Yi will have at least a few entries that will reach the Limit of this world.
We can go all in now.
"So, what are your plans next?" Meng Yue asked.
"It's not about what my plans are next, but what your plans are next?" Ling Yi retorted.
Meng Yue instantly understood Ling Yi's meaning.
After a long silence, he said, "Let's talk about it after we leave the dungeon."
"It's just a little bit of time left, why can't we say it now?"
"I need to verify something, and only after you complete the Limit First Reincarnation and return to level 10 can you help me do it."
Ling Yi waved his hand. "Fine, as long as we end up as enemies anyway."
Meng Yue said earnestly, " Ling Yi, I will never be your enemy, unless you betray humanity."
"I'd be so bored as to betray people... Huh? You mean, there are people who betray humanity?"
Ling Yi asked, puzzled, "Betray humanity? Join whom? Join some BOSS? Isn't that just plain crazy?"
"There are many organizations that have betrayed humanity, such as the Kami's Lookout, the Undead Hall, the Demon Dragon Hall, and the Dark Hall."
" The Kami's Lookout, the Undead Hall, the Demon Dragon Hall, the Dark Hall? Why are they all called 'temples' instead of some kind of 'cult' or 'society'?"
"Is that the point?" Meng Yue didn't understand Ling Yi's focus.
Isn't that the point?
"... The reason they use these names is because these are the names of dungeons, special outdoor dungeons, like the Glory Canyon."
"These four guilds developed based on these four dungeons. It was also because of these four dungeons that they came into contact with the people of the Source Realm early on, becoming outlaws for some races in the Source Realm."
Meng Yue's face was icy cold, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
This was the first time Ling Yi had seen Meng Yue like this, and he was filled with curiosity.
"These four guilds, whose aim is to kill our Human Clan's strongmen and prodigies, have created countless monster tides and destroyed countless human cities over the years."
"The strange tide in Baihai City three years ago was deliberately caused by the Kami's Lookout Guild. They simultaneously opened ten outdoor dungeons, chose the Abyss difficulty, and intentionally failed to clear them."
Ling Yi knew about this matter, or rather, everyone in the Great Qian Empire knew about it.
The entire Baihai City has now become a paradise for monsters, reduced to ruins.
Even though the Great Qian Empire reacted swiftly, the vast Baihai City, with its tens of millions of inhabitants, was swallowed up by the strange tide overnight.
Ultimately, Great Qian could only rely on the power of technology to surround Baihai City and the ten wild boars.
This was the most devastating of all the strange tides that the Great Qian Empire had suffered in all these years.
But Ling Yi was unaware that this strange tide event was actually orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.
This is really, damn it!
"Why would the Kami's Lookout do this? Or rather, what is its purpose in doing so?" Ling Yi asked.
Aside from those born with a mental illness, everyone has interests involved in everything they do.
These four guilds, being human, must have benefited from betraying humanity.
Evil people, in particular, value self-interest more than faith.
" The Source Realm is home to countless races, with the Human Clan being the strongest in the Source Realm. Few races can match the Human Clan, and ultimately, it is because the Human Clan is too strong that they are targeted."
"I guess the Human Clan you're talking about aren't the Human Clan from Blue Star, are they?" Ling Yi asked.
The Human Clan on Blue Star doesn't even have a single expert who has Limit Reincarnation; how could they possibly be considered the strongest among all races?
Without a doubt, the Human Clan Meng Yue spoke of were the Human Clan of the Source Realm... right?
Meng Yue didn't continue on that topic, but instead returned to Ling Yi's earlier question, "The four major guilds can obtain some resource dungeon locations from certain races in the Source Realm."
"With these resources, the four guilds developed rapidly, and most of the professionals in the four guilds seemed to be following the path of Limit Reincarnation."
"Very strong?"
"Extremely strong!"
"Stronger than me?"
"I'm not as strong as you!" Meng Yue shook her head, then laughed.
No matter how Limit Reincarnation other professionals undergo, they can't match the power of cheating. If you're not invincible, what's the point of cheating?
"That's good. We'll take them out when we have time."
Just then, a golden light rose from both of them, and they both leveled up, reaching level 76.
Ling Yi stretched and walked towards the Shitou scale sculpture next to the spring.
Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lü Bu, the three main generals of the red team, have now reached level 90 by gaining experience.
Their upgrade mechanism is different from that of professionals, and they require far less experience points.
However, since they were not needed, the three main generals just lay around by the spring, doing nothing.
"The three of you, let's go to the front lines!" Ling Yi said to the three generals.
The three of them lit up when they heard Ling Yi's words.
"Thank you, my lord. We will surely vanquish all the enemies for you."
The three bowed to Ling Yi, then turned and rushed out of Stone City, looking like they couldn't wait.
"Yes, it would be great if we could take these generals with us."
Whether it's impressive or not doesn't matter, what matters is how cool it is!
Ling Yi placed his hand on the scales sculpture and opened the Merit Mall interface.

Looking at the items in the Merit Shop, Ling Yi couldn't help but drool.
The equipment here is absolutely amazing.
He really wanted it all.
But when I looked at my merit points, damn it, I suddenly felt so poor!
More than 20 million—that's what Ling Yi earned in nearly three hours.
Ling Yi's level has also increased to level 79, and he will soon be level 80.
"At this rate of leveling up, it would take at least a week to reach level 90. That's a bit too fast," Ling Yi frowned.
He'd love for his rank to drop or stagnate.
Because once you reach level 90, you'll be forced to complete the dungeon, and you won't be able to farm merit points anymore!
How many merit points can you accumulate in a week?
At the current rate of merit point acquisition, one can probably earn about 300 million merit points per day, and it would take seven days to reach 2.1 billion merit points.
How much can you buy with 2.1 billion?
"The career advancement scroll is now being exchanged."
This is Ling Yi's primary purpose in coming to farm this wilderness dungeon.
Ten million merit points were deducted, and a blue cesium scroll was redeemed.
As long as he could tear open the scroll, he could successfully advance his career, so Ling Yi had no reason to hesitate.
As Ling Yi tore the scroll open, a line of comments appeared before their eyes.
[Congratulations to professional Ling Yi! You have successfully advanced from Forging to Divine Forger. Your professional data panel has been updated; please check it yourself.]
Ling Yi immediately opened his professional panel.
Everything else remains the same, except the profession column has changed to [Profession: Divine Forger (F)], and a new [Magic] entry has been added, with a magic value of 16 million.
And a new skill has appeared in the skill bar: Disassembly!
