"This plot is so similar to a movie I watched in my past life!" Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.
Although his past life was several hundred years ago, Lin Yu's spiritual power was exceptionally strong due to his long period of cultivation, so he had not completely forgotten his past life.
While the Hunter x Hunter world's methods are cruel, they're just too similar to the movies he'd seen before!
The Hongmeng System was slightly taken aback by Lin Yu's sudden question, then tilted its head and replied, "The cruel methods of the Hunter world are based on the fact that the creatures within it possess a special gene."
"As I mentioned before, this gene is called the 'devouring gene,' which can devour the power contained in the genes of people from other worlds. A single ordinary 'devouring gene' allows a person from the Hunter world to devour and absorb five different genes."
Hearing this, Lin Yu finally understood that the creatures of the hunter world were different from what he had imagined. They were not simply hunters; a large part of their motivation was to improve their own strength.
"The ability to devour beings from other fantasy worlds? Interesting," Lin Yu said with some surprise.
Each fantasy world is not exactly the same, and thus different powers have been born. These powers should only exist within the fantasy world that gave birth to them and should not be used by beings in other worlds.
However, through this special power in the Hunter world, it is possible to separate the originally unique genetic power from this world.
No wonder the Hunter world is so powerful; it's probably because this "gene devouring" has brought them many benefits.
"But if we absorb too many genes from other worlds, won't that reduce the genes in the Hunter world itself?" Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.
Given the nature of the creatures in the Hunter world, they would undoubtedly pursue even more powerful genes, devouring powerful genes until, in the end, the genes in their world itself would be continuously reduced.
Then, will this so-called Hunter world still be considered to exist?
This time, the Hongmeng System was stunned. Although it possessed powerful search and deduction capabilities, it had clearly not considered this point.
This is mainly because, during the simulation, the Hongmeng System simply set the rules of the Hunter world to "admire the strong," without taking into account the existence of the races in the Hunter world itself.
Fortunately, the Hongmeng System itself has a very powerful deduction capability, and after being inspired by Lin Yu, it immediately began to re-deduce the data.
Soon, the Hongmeng System completed its second deduction and explained to Lin Yu, "Host, according to the deduction results, hunting in the Hunter World is not something that can be done casually; it involves many characteristics."
"In the Hunter world, while strength reigns supreme, it also contains many rather strict hierarchical and competitive systems."
"You mean, although both involve hunting, the creatures in different hunter worlds have completely different genes that enable them to hunt?"
Combining what the Hongmeng System had said before, Lin Yu immediately understood.
But then, Lin Yu felt even more puzzled.
"I remember you mentioned to me before that although the fantasy universe contains many fantasy worlds, it is essentially a universe centered around the ten main gods."
"If we're talking about world rankings, the Hunter World isn't even considered the highest level. So why can they arbitrarily choose fantasy worlds as their battlefields? Doesn't this violate the Codex of the Main God?"
The Hunter World can only be so rampant now because it chose a low-level world like the Hecarim World, which is "neither loved nor cared for." But what if they had chosen a large world where the main god resides?
Even setting aside whether they could actually hunt creatures from large worlds, it's still unknown whether the main god of that world would agree!
As if knowing what Lin Yu was thinking, the Hongmeng System explained, "To be precise, the Hunter world doesn't just randomly choose fantasy worlds as battlefields. Their battlefields have all undergone quite rigorous selection."
"Moreover, the fantasy universe is so vast that anything is possible. This tradition in the Hunter world is not unique in the vast fantasy universe; many other worlds have similar situations, and some have even established 'Hunting Leagues' to force other worlds to agree to be their battlegrounds."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu suddenly realized that two fists can't beat four hands, especially since the two fists came from a lower-level world, while the four hands came from a higher-level world.
If only one world like the Hunter x Hunter world existed, then the various smaller worlds could unite and struggle together, perhaps avoiding tragedy. But if several worlds like the Hunter x Hunter world were to unite, things wouldn't be so easy.
The difference between high-level and low-level worlds is almost overwhelming. If several large high-level worlds unite, even if there are hundreds or thousands of smaller worlds that are hundreds or thousands of times larger, they would still be no match for the large worlds.
"This Hunting Alliance is quite powerful, and it includes many god-like beings," the Hongmeng System continued to explain.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but recall the disdainful expressions of the other main gods when they heard about lower-level deities during the previous discussion.
However, it is only because they are the main gods that they can be so disdainful. To the beings of ordinary fantasy worlds, even low-level gods are still high above them, beings that can only be looked up to.
"Even within the Hunting Alliance, there exists a strict hierarchical hunting system; it's definitely not a situation where those who join the Hunting Alliance can do whatever they want."
"Based on my deductions, if a world that joins the Hunting Alliance wants to wage hunting wars in other worlds, it must either independently raise a hunting world full of powerful creatures, or choose a world as its hunting world according to the rules set by the Hunting Alliance."
"Of course, choosing the latter does not mean that one can hunt indefinitely in this world. The number of casualties must be strictly limited to ensure that it does not affect the continuation of civilization in the local time."
"At the same time, the world that hunts must also compensate the families of the sacrificed prey with dozens of times the amount of money and resources, according to the rules and regulations of the chosen world."
"However, under normal circumstances, such resources are directly compensated to the world that was hunted, and not directly given to the families of the prey. Therefore, the amount of compensation that the prey will ultimately receive is uncertain."
