Inside a coffee shop, two stunningly beautiful women sat facing each other.
The two beautiful women were so stunning that they attracted frequent glances from other people in the cafe.
These two beauties were none other than Qin Shuang and Ye Yao.
"Haha, this is hilarious! A grown man, transmigrated into the female lead? Is your Transmigration System really this capricious?" Qin Shuang covered her mouth and laughed.
" Little Fool, that's enough! You've been laughing for half an hour. I'm asking you something important!" Ling Yi was extremely annoyed.
He wasn't upset about the fact that he had transmigrated into the female lead's body; after all, so many days had passed, and Ling Yi had already gotten used to his "female lead" identity.
What he really couldn't stand was the way those men looked at him.
Ling Yi truly felt that when a man looks at a woman, whether he is being proper or not is immediately obvious.
Well, so far, Ling Yi hasn't noticed a single serious look from him.
Most men's eyes scan up and down.
Those who are more reserved and discreet will peek secretly, while the slightly bolder ones will stare directly.
Goodness, Ling Yi felt like he had been scanned up and down by a group of people.
This is so damn awkward.
I wonder how top beauties like Ye Yao and Qin Shuang adapt to this situation.
Ling Yi simply couldn't stand it!
Of course, the Qin Shuang in front of us is not Qin Shuang, but the World Consciousness of this world, which has Possession Qin Shuang's body.
According to the Little Fool, her strength has increased significantly this time, allowing her to Possession a designated human body for up to a month.
Qin Shuang is the body that the Little Fool chose.
Moreover, the flow of time is different in the two worlds; Ling Yi spent about six days in the "Heart's Voice" world.
But three months have already passed since I left home.
However, after Ling Yi returned to the "away from home" world this time, the time flow of the two worlds became consistent, with Ling Yi as the bridge.
However, there is a time difference.
It's nighttime in the "Voice of the Heart" world, but daytime in the "Away from Home" world.
"You guessed right. These evil energies—no, to be precise, the invading energies—generated the web novel plots; they're those mass-produced AI web novel plots."
When it came to serious matters, Qin Shuang's expression became earnest.
"Just as I thought."
Ling Yi had this feeling after reading the original version of both worlds.
Ling Yi could tell whether it was an AI-generated story or not, after all, he was a part-time online novelist before he transmigrated.
Although the results weren't great!
I don't know when it started, but the online literature world has entered the AI era.
Initially, the AI function only helped authors correct some word mistakes, spelling errors, and grammatical errors.
But Later, it turned into software that could directly extract the entire text.
Ling Yi also tried it!
Do you think the process involves simply entering the outline, character settings, background settings, plot settings, etc., into a table of contents, and then generating a complete novel?
No, some software is even simpler than this.
Simply input the Wenwen, and the AI will automatically extract the outline, character settings, background settings, plot settings, and everything else from the novel.
You only need to change the Map name, character name, background settings, etc.
It will automatically generate a complete copy of an online novel.
Of course, the current AI-powered online writing function is not yet complete and still has many problems.
It requires manual Correction, but the efficiency is far greater than painstakingly typing it out yourself.
Ling Yi heard that some people could even sign contracts for a dozen or twenty online novels a month.
Even if it's ten movies, the guaranteed minimum attendance bonus for a month would be over six thousand.
Moreover, this situation is becoming increasingly serious.
Ling Yi even heard that someone had already set up a related studio.
A dozen or so people specializing in copying online novels can earn over 100,000 yuan a month—it's simply outrageous.
These kinds of online novels produced through bots are considered a scourge in the online novel community.
But this is an inevitable trend that cannot be stopped.
After all, web novels are just too simple.
With the continuous development of AI technology, the number of online articles generated by AI will only increase.
If we can't stop it, then we need to introduce entirely new related regulations, such as opening a dedicated A-level online literature channel.
Among all A-level web novels, this kind of mindless, wish-fulfillment novel is the most numerous.
Because the outline is simple and the plot is formulaic, it doesn't require overly complex settings.
Of course, none of this mattered to Ling Yi.
He came to see the Little Fool this time to confirm whether these invaded web novel plots were actually created by A.
"In the future, more and more worlds will be invaded by these web novel plots created by A, but it's not all a bad thing," Qin Shuang said with a smile.
"As long as the plot can be broken, the invading energy will be absorbed by the World Consciousness World Consciousness, raising its level, just like me now."
"I feel that if I could do this ten more times, I could ascend to the Heavenly Dao!"
"So that's why!" Qin Shuang pointed at Ling Yi with her finger.
"So, you're really in high demand right now. I bet countless worlds want to pull you in and make you Plot Ravagers!"
Plot Ravagers?
Am I the only Plot Ravagers? Or are there other Plot Ravagers?
Qin Shuang shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe next time my older sister comes back, I'll ask her, and she'll definitely know."
Hearing "big sister" from Qin Shuang again filled Ling Yi with curiosity about this older sister.
But Ling Yi knew that even if he asked, it would be pointless.
One point is that the Little Fool probably can't give any accurate description either.
Another point is that Ling Yi is not yet at that level, and even if he knew it, it wouldn't make much difference.
"Do you know what these energies, which entered various worlds along with the invasion storyline, actually are?"
"I have some guesses, but as for the specifics, perhaps you'll know when you encounter a world with a Heavenly Dao, or when I ascend to become Heavenly Dao myself."
What do you guess it is?
"It's nothing more than the Power of Faith, the power of emotion, and so on. Only these powers can transform between the illusory and the real."
"However, this transformation requires something important, as its core."
"The core?" Ling Yi murmured.
"Yes, the core. Without a core to support it, the transformation between the virtual and the real cannot be achieved," Qin Shuang affirmed.
The two chatted for a long time afterward.
Although the Little Fool didn't know much and much of it was just guesswork, for Ling Yi, this gain was enormous.
At least a few things have been confirmed.
First, the invasion plot is all from web novels created by A.
Secondly, the energy of synchronously invading the plot is both a disaster and an opportunity for every world.
Third, every invaded world needs Ling Yi as Plot Ravagers, because they cannot break the plot on their own, or rather, it is very difficult for them to break the invasion plot on their own.
Fourth, an invaded world may be invaded multiple times, and each invasion will be stronger and more difficult to break through than the last.
Fifth, there's the so-called conversion carrier.
Ling Yi didn't stay in the Little Fool's world for long. After having another meal with the Little Fool, he prepared to return to the second world.
" Ling Yi, you must be careful of the World Consciousness and the Heavenly Dao of other worlds." Qin Shuang Ling Yi earnestly reminded Ling Yi before he left.
"Why?"
These worlds need Ling Yi to disrupt the plot, right? This is a win-win situation for Yu Shuang; there's no conflict of interest!
"Each world will not be invaded more than once; some worlds may be being invaded simultaneously by multiple story worlds."
"Huh, is that even possible?" Ling Yi in surprise.
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"Some powerful World Consciousness, or the Heavenly Dao, will actively guide the invasion plot in order to gain energy for advancement."
Ling Yi nodded in realization.
That makes sense. Although invading the storyline can solidify the invaded world, breaking the storyline can be an improvement for the invaded world.
The Big Fish —that's the principle.
"If you were to travel to such a world, you would be deliberately trapped by its World Consciousness, constantly guided into an invasion plot, and you would be trapped in an endless cycle of events, unable to escape."
Ling Yi frowned. It really was true!
However, Ling Yi then shook his head, realizing that being trapped in the plot was impossible.
Even if they can trap him for a while, he won't be trapped forever.
After all, as long as there's an invasion plot, Ling Yi can continuously grow stronger within the storyline.
One day, he will be strong enough to make the World Consciousness kneel and sing "Conquer".
"Okay, I understand. I'll head back now."
He then shook his head and said, "This girl's identity is just too awkward. The sooner the plot breaks down, the sooner I can recover."
"Why do we need to go back to the way things were? We can still be best friends!"
"Get lost!" Ling Yi rolled his eyes.
"They're gone!"
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi's figure disappeared.
The scene shifts, Ling Yi has returned to his Cold Moon Palace.
"Ah, Your Majesty, you're finally back!" Xiaoyue exclaimed with delight upon seeing Ling Yi suddenly appear.
"Don't be so jumpy, calm down!" Ling Yi opened the Fridge, took out a bottle of soda, and then lay down on the sofa.
"What happened while I was away?"
"Your Majesty, Noble Consort Ye has been sent to the Heaven-Severing Prison. This has enraged the Empress Dowager, who went directly to the Hall of the Golden Throne Palace this morning."
"In front of the entire court, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had a huge argument."
"Then what?"
"Ah, Your Majesty, what then?"
"Is it over after one argument? What happened next?"
"The Empress Dowager returned to her Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, and it seems she scolded all the palace maids and nannies under her command, and also smashed a lot of things."
"Is there still no word from Prime Minister Ye Hong?"
"It seems not. I only heard this from other palace maids. I don't know the specifics of what happened, and I dare not ask."
"You're one of my people, what are you afraid to ask? From now on, ask openly and honestly, you can even ask the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, or the court officials directly."
"Your Majesty, this servant dares not!" Xiaoyue quickly shook her head.
She's just a palace maid, going to ask the Emperor and the Empress Dowager? Is she crazy?
