The Resident Evil world was the first world whose plot progress had reached 100%.
And now, the Resident Evil world had completely merged into the Ling Realm, becoming part of it, a galaxy within the Ling Realm's universe.
Resident Evil had brought Ling Yi enormous benefits. Those 386 laws had given him a clearer understanding of the essence of worlds.
The new world was none other than the television version of The Myth World, whose protagonist was known as the disgrace of transmigrators.
As for why it was not the film version? Because Yi Xiaochuan was right beside Ling Yi.
But this world seemed less simple than he had imagined.
Ling Yi had already mastered 386 laws, yet even those accounted for only 12% of the total laws in The Myth World. What did that mean? It meant this world probably had close to a thousand laws.
A world with close to a thousand laws was probably already a genuine world of myth, or at least a xianxia world.
At that moment, Yi Xiaochuan was staring excitedly at Ling Yi, who had suddenly appeared.
Ling Yi wore modern clothes, and combined with the way he had appeared, this convinced Yi Xiaochuan that Ling Yi must be a transmigrator just like him.
Yi Xiaochuan had been riding toward Mount Tangwu when Ling Yi appeared out of thin air, right in his path. Ling Yi's powerful presence had actually frightened his horse to death, and it now lay at their feet.
"Bro, you're a transmigrator too, right? How did you get here?"
Ling Yi glanced at him and said flatly, "An illegal transmigrator, no less. Don't you know illegal transmigration creates another timeline out of thin air?"
"Uh, what? Illegal transmigrator? Another timeline?" Yi Xiaochuan was rather bewildered.
"Any transmigrator who hasn't registered with the Time Administration Bureau is an illegal transmigrator. Illegal transmigration inevitably creates a temporal node, producing a new timeline. In other words, you're no longer in your original space-time. This space-time is another parallel space-time that branched off from the original."
As a modern man, Yi Xiaochuan did understand the theory of parallel space-times.
"I... so that means I can't return to my original world?"
"You could say that. If you transmigrated from before the year 3150, the Time-Space Administration Bureau won't bother with you. If you transmigrated from after 3150, however, the Time-Space Administration Bureau will definitely appear to erase you, along with this timeline."
After a pause, Ling Yi continued, "It seems the people from the Time-Space Administration Bureau haven't appeared. In other words, you're an ancient person from three thousand years ago?"
"Huh? I'm an ancient person?"
"I come from the year 5820."
"Uh, then I really am an ancient person to you." Yi Xiaochuan was somewhat skeptical. Ling Yi's clothes looked no different from those in his own world. The year 5820? That was simply unbelievable.
Ling Yi knew what he was thinking and tossed out a Capsule. With a boom, it turned into a thoroughly futuristic flying car.
These things were everywhere in the Dragon Balls world, and Ling Yi had stockpiled quite a few.
"Holy crap! How did you conjure up that car?"
Ling Yi looked at him as though he were a country bumpkin and said flatly, "Space-folding technology. It's already widespread in the future."
As Ling Yi spoke, he sat in the driver's seat. Yi Xiaochuan promptly jumped into the passenger seat as though they were already old friends.
"Whoa, cool!"
As the car started up, rose into the air, and accelerated, Yi Xiaochuan whooped with excitement.
"Maglev technology? This is incredible."
"An antigravity engine. Maglev technology was phased out a thousand years ago," Ling Yi said, still utterly indifferent.
Seeing Yi Xiaochuan instantly adopt an expression that said, "Well, that kills the conversation," Ling Yi felt a surge of amusement.
Honestly, many people thought Yi Xiaochuan's performance in The Myth was terrible, but Ling Yi felt that his behavior was precisely how most people would normally act.
All that talk of "transmigrate without rebelling, and get a power drill up your ass"-did they think rebellion was that easy?
Do not assume that being a modern person with some knowledge of ancient history meant you could go back to ancient times and do whatever you pleased.
Leaving everything else aside, did you think the historical truths you knew were actual history? History was always the record left by the victors. Over thousands of years, far too many records had been submerged in the long river of history.
Much of the history familiar to us was actually deduced. It was merely theoretical history and could be worlds apart from the truth.
Besides, did they really think ancient people were easy to fool? Their wisdom absolutely exceeded your imagination. Sometimes, Ling Yi found it hard to understand why anyone thought ancient people were unintelligent.
Were their brains smaller than those of modern people? Ancient people merely had somewhat less exposure to the world than you or I. Whether you were actually smarter than them was another matter entirely.
"The great Dao is simplicity itself," "great wisdom appears foolish," "the highest goodness is like water"... these were all idioms commonly found in ancient writings. Even now, we still needed to revere and champion these enlightening principles...
We really were no smarter than ancient people.
Yi Xiaochuan was a bleeding-heart saint? Most modern people had something of a bleeding heart. This was the "goodness" instilled by our upbringing, a goodness that made us abide by morality and value life.
That was also why Yi Xiaochuan had let the bandits go.
Rationally speaking, Yi Xiaochuan had been wrong to do so. But in terms of his true nature, his actions could not be called right or wrong. Expect someone with a modern education to disregard human life the moment they arrived in ancient times? How was that possible?
If Yi Xiaochuan could truly disregard human life, he would necessarily have been a thoroughly evil person in the modern world.
Some said Yi Xiaochuan was too much of a scumbag... they were all old perverts; whoever was a scumbag knew it themselves.
"I'm not well educated, so don't fool me. Is an antigravity engine better than maglev technology?"
"You academic dud. Antigravity propulsion generates thrust by using a reverse gravitational field created by the aircraft itself to cancel out or block the gravitational field of the surrounding environment."
Yi Xiaochuan: "..."
I'm an academic dud, but did you have to say it out loud?
In reality, this car did not use any antigravity technology. It was simply maglev technology.
Ling Yi had merely said it offhand, purely for his own twisted amusement.
The car was fast. It was flying, after all. After passing through a stretch of forest, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
"Whoa, bro, bandits are robbing someone! Hurry and help!" Yi Xiaochuan shouted at the scene before them.
The scene before them was precisely the part of the original plot where Yi Xiaochuan saved the Lü family.
Ling Yi stopped the car, got out, and crossed the distance in a single step, arriving directly in front of the Lü sisters.
By then, Lord Lü's party had reached a dead end. All their household guards and servants had been killed by these vicious bandits, leaving only him and his two daughters trembling beside the carriage.
Lord Lü had exhausted every pleasant word he could muster, but the vicious bandits before him clearly wanted not just their wealth, but their women too.
It had to be said that the Lü sisters really were beautiful. Whether Lü Zhi or Lü Su, neither would have been any less attractive than those celebrities in the modern world.
With such peerless beauties before them, how could these vicious bandits possibly let them go?
Ling Yi's sudden appearance shocked both the bandits and Lord Lü's family. After all, the way he had appeared was too uncanny, as though he had materialized out of thin air.
Hope instantly rose in the hearts of Lord Lü and his daughters.
Without any unnecessary words, Ling Yi snapped his fingers, freezing the men in place. Then he turned to Lord Lü and his daughters and said, "I've sealed their five senses. They can't hear, speak, or perceive anything outside themselves now. Kill them or flay them-the three of you may deal with them as you please."
At that moment, Yi Xiaochuan actually drove the hovering car awkwardly over to them.
"Bro, how do I stop this thing? I can't find the brakes."
Ling Yi said helplessly, "There's a red button beside the steering wheel. Press it."
Yi Xiaochuan was all flustered. Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, he immediately pressed the button. The next moment...
Boom! The car vanished, turning into a Capsule that fell to the ground.
Yi Xiaochuan dropped straight out of the air and landed flat on his back, all four limbs pointing skyward. But the fellow ignored the pain, immediately rolled over, and snatched the Capsule into his hand.
"Awesome, awesome! It can actually shrink a car this small."
Then, brimming with curiosity, Yi Xiaochuan pressed the button on top of the Capsule again.
Boom!
"Ow!"
Did this fellow not know to throw the Capsule after pressing the button?
Well... it seemed Ling Yi had not taught him that. Never mind, then!
Not bothering with this clown, Ling Yi turned back to Lord Lü and his daughters.
Only then did Lord Lü come back to his senses. Cupping his fist, he said, "Young hero, you may decide how to deal with them."
