Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?-Chapter 400 - 402: The Repaired World Barriers
Chapter 400 -402: The Repaired World Barriers
Qin Muye's dilemma did not last long; he soon immersed himself in a comprehensive self-check to assess the changes resulting from his separation from the Lord System.
After all, having enough understanding and data about oneself was critical for further strengthening; otherwise, wouldn't it be aimless to simply break through and continue training?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to increase his level so rapidly.
"Master, the latest intelligence report: The Great Nether Dynasty is becoming increasingly chaotic, with numerous rebellions emerging everywhere. There is still no news of the Spirit Realm Three Demons, and according to reports, the number of Evil Demons disappearing has significantly increased, making the Spirit Realm unusually calm," the agent reported.
"Moreover, Ji Shan has announced his intention to engage in Harmonization."
Black Hand relayed a heap of recent intelligence; although Qin Muye did not intervene in these affairs, he needed to stay informed as they could potentially involve future adversaries.
"Harmonization? What are his chances?" Qin Muye was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ji Shan to consider Harmonization and strengthening at this time; he thought there would be further assessments for some time.
However, this was within expectations, given Ji Shan's clear stance.
Over twenty-three years in the Secret Martial World, Ji Shan's Primordial Spirit had grown increasingly vast, to the point that his body could not sustain it, and he had to exist daily in the form of his Primordial Spirit.
Furthermore, his form as a Primordial Spirit had become increasingly non-human, resembling the divine beings from ancient myths.
To accomplish Harmonization, he had created a vast array of Divine Skills to assist in the process.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been realistic to just wander aimlessly for so many years.
"Eighty percent," Black Hand answered.
Qin Muye fell silent for a moment before saying, "In that case, have the Spirit Monsters enter the Spirit Realm to inspect it and, by the way, eliminate all the Evil Demons."
"The last time we dealt with the Insect Race by blocking their entrance, we had pulled it down from a higher dimensional level; it probably hasn't completely returned yet, so it's the perfect time to prevent them from leaving."
Since he had made his decision, Qin Muye had no intention of obstructing the process, but necessary caution was still required, at least enough to perform a thorough clean-up.
"Yes, we will proceed swiftly. Also, the world barriers carved out by the Insect Race have been repaired; there doesn't seem to be much issue now," Black Hand reported again.
"So quickly, just in one day?" Qin Muye was somewhat surprised.
Although they had spent twenty-three years in the Secret Martial World, only twenty-four hours had passed on the Warlock Dynasty server due to a Random Dungeon Scroll.
"It seems some force was assisting, unfortunately, we all had left and nobody was there to observe. But initially, it's suspected to be related to the vanished Spirit Realm Three Demons and the gradually decreasing Evil Demons."
"After all, the situation in the Spirit Realm was too unexpected."
This was the general consensus of the intelligence department and the think tank, or else the coincidence would be too great.
Qin Muye pondered for a while, "The possibility is significant. Although those Evil Demons in the Spirit Realm are somewhat sinister, if placed in the Divine Dao World, they would absolutely be considered Divine. They indeed might be the ones to do this."
Although the Evil Demons in the Spirit Realm were plaguing the Great Nether Dynasty, this was essentially a kind of harvesting behavior; anyone wanting to overthrow the Great Nether Dynasty would be disrupting their harvesting grounds, probably more urgent than even Emperor Shen You himself.
In his conflict with Emperor Shen You back then, it was more about defending his harvesting grounds rather than exterminating the Human Clan.
The actions of Emperor Shen You at that time were essentially like digging out the Spirit Realm Three Demons' roots to replant at home, something no one would tolerate, thus leading to conflict.
Also, due to reasons like intellectual awakening, development, and exploitation, the Spirit Realm Three Demons managed to preserve their grounds, but their yield drastically reduced.
If someone's interests were most aligned with the Great Nether Dynasty, aside from Emperor Shen You, it would be the Spirit Realm Three Demons.
Of course, they aligned with the Great Nether Dynasty, not with the Magicians; after all, due to the Magicians, after their harvesting grounds were reduced by Emperor Shen You, many more seedlings died, which is why they relentlessly attacked the Magicians.
And repairing the world barriers, on one hand, protected the harvesting grounds, and on the other, it was probably the duty of those beings, being innately born existences.

"However, there are still several uncertainties, such as the timing of their disappearance being incorrect. If it were about repairs, they should have begun after our original battle concluded, not while we were still fighting the Insect Race, what could have been repaired at that time."
"That's why I suspect they are in the midst of a catastrophe, transforming into high-dimensional Evil Demons that could bring about the end of the world."
Qin Muye's expression was grave. In any case, it was better to prepare for the worst scenario with the greatest effort; even if they ended up striking cotton, it was better than being unprepared and ultimately doomed.
"The possibility is significant; I'll arrange it immediately," Blackhand said, not deeply moved because the think tank had already speculated this, but he was preempted by Qin Muye before he could mention it.
If a bunch of Spirit Monster Heroes, whose livelihoods depended on this, hadn't thought of that, they would have been sent for retraining or even decommissioned long ago.
"It seems I need to prepare as well," Qin Muye frowned.
He always felt the problem this time was substantial since both Emperor Shen You and the Spirit Realm Three Demons suddenly encountered issues. It felt to him like a mass disconnection.
This was not a good sign. One might think disconnection equaled idling, but it could also mean cheating.
"These two forces differ from the Demon Machine Emperor and Demon Insect Dominator; they have no backing, so where does this opportunity come from?"
Honestly, he felt quite helpless, for even with his current power, he couldn't locate the Spirit Realm Three Demons.
Though he could perceive Emperor Shen You, his perception seemed strange; the emperor appeared to be making a breakthrough.
Yes, a breakthrough.
Normally, the natives of this world couldn't possibly advance to Level 8, as the server was only so large and lacked the conditions for such a breakthrough.
Whether the Spirit Realm Three Demons or Emperor Shen You, they were like potted plants constrained by their own limits and the world's influence, devoid of any chance to ascend to a higher level.
As the flow of civilization revealed itself before his eyes, Qin Muye saw the chaos and turmoil within the entire civilization.
That also indicated that the Great Nether Dynasty was on the brink of peril.
This ability stemmed from his past merger with the World's Son·Civilization, and though he had dissociated from it, it did not mean the ability had vanished.
The separation at that time felt like cutting a piece of flesh from his own body, inconvenient but not harmful.
Thus, he could see the gist of civilization.
"Slaughter, ambition, chaos..."
"Are the Spirit Realm Three Demons stirring things up? Have they discovered something?"
Qin Muye speculated that since Emperor Shen You gained an unknown opportunity to breakthrough, perhaps the Spirit Realm Three Demons had done so as well; otherwise, how could this be deemed an apocalyptic crisis?
"Inspiration, this intuitive talent freezes up in the face of major events, but luckily, I don't rely on intuition."
Qin Muye wasn't too worried now, given his strength could sweep through Level 8, unless he faced utterly irrational beings like the Mother of the Race or God.
High-dimensional demons might be powerful, but how could they compare to Heavenly Net and the Insect Race?
Qin Muye reasoned thus, these two entities had directly brought in their backers for a Mechanical Deity.
He guessed that even if the breakthrough was successful, it would probably only reach Level 8. Okay, maybe Level 9, but that was unlikely because if it truly reached Level 9, the server was doomed, and even Qin Muye couldn't save it; he would have to rely on the Server Transfer Token afterward.
Luckily, he still had one Server Transfer Token, or else he would really end up only as bemoaned in fairy tales as a fourth-generation Divine King.
Now, with Qin Muye's strength combined with the Endless Abyss, he wasn't really intimidated by Zeus anymore. Did he not have authority too?
And if the worst came to pass, he could always lie low for a while.
However, if that scenario occurred, Qin Muye felt his prospects would indeed be dim, for he doubted the fairy tale world he might consume could elevate him to Level 9.
Level 9 relied not on quantity, but on quality.
"I should arrange Ji Shan's Harmonization first. If his strength is sufficient, maybe he as the Child of Destiny can turn the tide when the time comes."
Qin Muye never underestimated his talent; sometimes, in evenly matched situations, it all came down to luck.
Although luck was sometimes unreliable, it certainly had its unique aspects, otherwise Lord Era wouldn't have nonsensically assigned such a meaningless attribute.
