Ten hours of just waiting like this is too Bored.

So, Ling Yi reached out and grabbed a Orc. Ling Yi originally planned to use Acupoint Sealing to immobilize it, but it was no use.

The physical structure of Orc is clearly different from that of humans.

Ling Yi could only use Telekinesis to immobilize it.

Can you understand me?

"Roar!"

"Looks like you don't understand. You should recognize that fist that big as a clay pot, right?" Ling Yi raised his fist and slammed it into the Orc's tattered armor.

"Bang!"

"Awoo!"

The Orc's face contorted in pain, and Ling Yi released the Telekinesis restraint. The orc immediately knelt on the ground, coughing up large amounts of blood.

"It seems I used too much force."

But the Orc was still a level 20 monster, and Ling Yi hadn't used his full strength, not even a tenth of it. After a while, the Orc recovered.

The endless slaughter by the Clone had long since shattered the courage of these Orc, and this punch shattered even the last vestige of their Orc.

All that remained was the instinct to Qiusheng.

Seeing Ling Yi raise his fist again, the Orc hurriedly knelt down, crying out, " Bulma, I surrender, Bulma, I surrender."

"Hmm, looks like he does have some brains after all."

Where is your leader?

"Chief, Kubu, Kubu!" The Orc pointed in a direction.

With a thought from Ling Yi Ling Yi, his Clone immediately received his command, took to the air, and flew in that direction.

About ten minutes later, the Clone landed in front of Ling Yi carrying a Houzi covered in golden armor.

"This is... Son Goku?" Ling Yi's eyes widened. This guy looks so much like Son Goku from the 1986 Journey to the West to the West.

Upon seeing Ling Yi, the Houzi's eyes were filled with deep fear.

"I never expected that there would be such a powerful being among humans. Human, spare my people, and my people will leave the Teleport Array and never set foot here again."

Ling Yi didn't speak, but looked at his Clone. The clone Clone and charged back into the Orc army.

"Why are you invading my Minecraft?" Ling Yi ignored the Houzi's anger and asked.

"This is the will of Chief God."

" The Chief God, what is that?"

"We have never seen the Chief God, but every time the Chief God commands, it appears directly in our minds. As long as we follow the Chief God's commands, we will receive benefits."

Ling Yi frowned. Could this "Chief God " be another kind of system?

But clearly, this leader doesn't know much either. There's plenty of time to explore this world later. Ling Yi is more interested in this Houzi right now.

Ling Yi asked a few more questions, gaining a general understanding of this world.

The traces of human intervention are very obvious in this world.

The entire world is made up of Orc, but these Orc are infertile. They are all born from a "temple" and are branded with the so-called "god" after birth.

The will of "God" is supreme and must be obeyed.

Every Orc tribe has at least one "temple," but according to the Houzi's description, it's not a temple at all, it's practically a laboratory.

All Orc are cloned life forms.

As for the so-called "god," it's impossible to guess; the Houzi doesn't know much about it.

Every so often, they would receive the so-called "divine" instructions in their minds.

Ten years ago, their "decree" was to unify the world; half a month ago, their "decree" was to invade the human world.

Looking at the dejected Houzi, Ling Yi sighed inwardly...

This Houzi is very clever; it probably already guessed something—that those so-called "gods" are just using them as tools, cannon fodder, or test subjects.

Therefore, seeing his tribe being slaughtered in large numbers didn't cause him much pain; he just looked a little more dejected.

"Submit to me, or..."

Without hesitation, the Houzi knelt down and said, " Kubu, I submit."

"..."

Ling Yi really wanted to ask, "Didn't you kneel down a little too quickly?"

Seemingly sensing another question, the Houzi explained, "From the moment you appeared in our world, the mark of 'god' has been fading, and it's estimated that it will disappear completely after a while."

"The world is undergoing a tremendous change; I can feel it, and probably all the people of our race can feel it."

"Only other, more powerful 'gods' could do this, and I'm just someone who has changed my identity."

"You seem to have a very open-minded attitude!"

The Houzi didn't speak, its expression was numb and lifeless, as if it had lost all fighting spirit; it was a completely dejected monkey.

"It's numbness!"

Ling Yi felt that it would be even more fitting to offer the Houzi leader a cigarette right now.

Melancholy eyes, fashionable body, holding a cigarette decadently... This damn picture...

"I don't trust you. Is there any way to help?" Ling Yi asked.

"Seriously? How am I supposed to answer that? It's like asking a prisoner at the execution ground which sword to use. Did you even consider my feelings?"

Ling Yi was amused by the Houzi's words. "I'm just stating the facts. I couldn't have taken you away from this world without absolute certainty. You should know how much this world is changing."

There were some things Ling Yi couldn't say outright, but he believed the Ziming his meaning.

This Houzi was able to become the leader not only because of his strength, but more importantly because he was intelligent and had the experience of living for over three hundred years.

Yes, this Houzi has lived for over three hundred years, completed two missions for the "gods," and received rewards from the "gods" both times. According to him, he can live for at least another two thousand years.

Over three hundred years have passed, and given that Houzi are inherently intelligent, their knowledge and experience are far more complex than Houzi appear to be.

Ling Yi simply liked the Houzi, but that didn't mean he would accept a troublesome element.

"I suggest you go to the temple. It's where all living beings in this world were born. Maybe you can find a way to control me there," the Houzi suggested after thinking for a long time.

"And you need to be quick."

Ling Yi nodded. He understood what the Houzi meant: once the world is completely digitized, many things may disappear completely.

Ling Yi immediately ordered his Clone to guard the Teleport pillar, while he, along with the Houzi Kubu, flew towards the nearest temple.

When Ling Yi flew into the air and looked down at the endless orc army, he was somewhat shocked.

"This doesn't mean they've gathered the entire orc army from your world, does it?"

"I don't know, but it should be close. There are over ten thousand temples in this world, and each temple is surrounded by a tribe. My tribe has an army of one hundred thousand, so if you calculate it like that..."

"A billion-strong army?" Ling Yi felt a sense of shock.

"So this is what the world is like?" Ling Yi wondered.

"How would I know? We are merely life forms created by the temple, our names and initial memories predetermined from the moment we are born. Do you think we could possibly know about the original heritage of this world under such circumstances?"

"So, you mean the world wasn't supposed to be like this originally?"

"Yes, everything that originally existed in this world may have been erased by that so-called 'god'."

"Are you sure you've really lived for three hundred years, and that your memories haven't been altered?"

The Houzi shook its head. "The temple only provides initial memories, such as identity, position, language, and survival skills."

Have you ever speculated about the purpose of those 'gods'?

"Invade other worlds," the Houzi said confidently.

"Both of my missions were invasion missions, in two worlds without Transcendent powers. The 'god's' decree was to kill all Wisdom life in the invaded worlds."

Ling Yi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. If he hadn't intervened, he might have become the "third" in the real world, as the Houzi had described.

The power of Blue Star was simply no match for this army of one billion level 20 orcs.

What happened to those two invaded worlds in the end?

"Destroyed, completely destroyed, possibly reduced to its Power of Origin, which was then devoured by that 'god'."

"You didn't tell me any of this before. The way you're doing this makes it even harder for me to completely trust you."

"I think you should trust me more. I've said everything I needed to say. I don't want to become some kind of weird mess. You're my only chance."

Ling Yi Ling Yi stopped speaking. He was a cautious person by nature, and he would never take the Houzi away from this world without being 100% certain.

The Houzi probably figured out Ling Yi's personality too, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

People with this kind of personality are the most difficult to deal with.

This is why the Houzi sent Ling Yi to the temple; they were created by the temple, so there must be ways to control them within the temple.

Rather than be turned into a mess by an unknown, terrifying being, he would rather be controlled by the boy before him.

Even at Ling Yi's speed, it took them more than half an hour to finally see the first temple.

The two descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of the temple.

Looking at this "temple" made entirely of metal, silver-white in color, and with a strong futuristic feel, Ling Yi was quite shocked.

The temple was in the shape of a pyramid, which Ling Yi was familiar with. It was over 300 meters high, and the main entrance was 10 meters high and 4 meters wide.

The temple doors were closed at the moment; I pushed them, but they wouldn't budge.

Ling Yi activated his Telekinesis, combining it with the Zixia True Qi of Master Great Perfection, and punched the door.

The immense force seemed to scorch the air, and the entire temple trembled violently, as if it were about to be overturned at any moment.

Looking at the massive metal gate with a huge hole blasted open, the Houzi swallowed hard. Luckily, he didn't have any ulterior motives. With the boy's strength, one punch would probably leave him with nothing but dust.

"That's really powerful!" Ling Yi shook his hand. His full-force attack hadn't shattered the metal pyramid, demonstrating just how strong its defenses were.

Ling Yi walked straight in, with the Houzi following closely behind.

"Alarm! Alarm! Intruder! Intruder!" The piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire temple.

Strangely, there was only an alarm sound, but no defensive measures were observed.

The people who built this metal pyramid probably never imagined that someone would actually be able to force their way in.

Ling Yi led the Houzi along a Light Emission corridor, heading deeper inside...
