"… Lord Nan Yanwang?"
Jiang Lin hadn't expected this lord to follow him out.
How did they start chatting?
Nan Ming's expression was calm, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that power to be yours. I didn't see you use it in the last arena match."
"When your eyes are better, let's have another match?"
Jiang Lin: "Ah?"
He was stunned.
For a moment, he didn't react to what the other party was saying.
After a while, he realized what the 'power' the other party was referring to.
Senior Hei Yuan could sense it,
This meant that,
The few beings standing at the peak of power could all perceive it.
And Lord Nan Dian Yanwang had always been rumored to be the strongest among the Four Halls.
Jiang Lin didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Admit it?
Deny it?
But he couldn't explain why he possessed divine power or why he had merged these two forces.
Both involved the system.
Seeing his silence, Nan Ming thought he had some difficulty.
He raised a finger and pointed to his eyes, "Your eyes, they were like this last time too. Do you need help?"
Jiang Lin snapped back to attention and quickly shook his head, "No. Thank you."
Nan Ming didn't insist, "How about we fight now? Your eyes shouldn't be too much of an issue, right?"
Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Ahem… in a few days…"
He had a headache now and still needed to go back and sort through his memories.
Nan Ming received a definite reply and didn't mind waiting a few more days.
"Okay, in five days?"
Jiang Lin: "Mm."
Actually, it would be good to have a Yanwang as a practice partner.
He also hadn't had a chance to try that power yet.
And…
Since it was a Yanwang…
He must be a being from that era, right?
Jiang Lin mused on his way back to the Eighteenth Hall.
…
"Captain, hello."
"Captain, hello."
At the entrance of the Eighteenth Hall, the gatekeepers Xuibao and Niu Xiaoguo greeted him in unison.
They also informed him that letters had arrived two days ago.
Jiang Lin nodded and flew inside.
He found three letters on the desk.
One of them, belonging to the mechanical sphere, had already been opened.
Jiang Lin picked up his own and glanced at it.
His perception swept across the entire Eighteenth Hall.
The mechanical sphere was not there, but Xu Nan was found by the lotus pond in the backyard.
Jiang Lin didn't disturb him and went to the lounge on his own.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to sort through the memory scenes he had just seen.
Soon, he successfully switched his perspective back.
Looking at his own hands, they finally had a normal skin tone.
Looking at the lightning in Number Two's hand in the memory scene, Jiang Lin was astonished.
This child… was actually on the same monstrous level as Number One.
Back then, didn't they fall from the sky together?
Where did they fall from?
Jiang Lin listened to their conversation,
Feeling the thoughts in Number One's mind, he felt a prickling sensation on his scalp.
Why did he feel…
These two, could they be from other worlds?
"Could it be that the Three Thousand Worlds and the Main World truly exist?"
Jiang Lin gasped.
In the subsequent memories, this guess was constantly confirmed.
He watched as Number One created a complete human cultivation method, and how they traveled all the way to the Upper City, to Zhongzhou.
Encountering one powerful opponent after another.
These two could always analyze the source of the opponent's power and the techniques they used.
It could no longer be described as monstrous.
It was as if…
They held the instruction manual for this world.
Just by watching and analyzing, they could draw conclusions.
And they could even upgrade the opponent's power and techniques.
Huo Ling'er followed them all the way and gained a lot.
Number One even specifically found a suitable advancement cultivation method for her clan.
—Although in Number One's view, it was just an experiment.
But Huo Ling'er's cultivation realm soared from then on.
This was also why,
She could still stay by their side in the later stages and not die.
"Hiss… this is…"
Jiang Lin listened to the words of the two standing on the snow-capped mountain peak,
And looked at the figures following behind them.
He couldn't help but click his tongue.
"The part that exceeds human power, the part after death…"
"Is this the origin of the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld? Then these followers, aren't they the initial personnel of the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld?"
Unfortunately, the appearances of those followers were not very clear.
Only Huo Ling'er's figure was familiar enough to be guessed.
However, there were one or two figures that Jiang Lin also found somewhat familiar.
But he couldn't be sure.
…
"Heavenly Palace, Underworld reincarnation… is it using the power of laws, or some special item?"
"Where did these two come from, and why did they start managing this world?"
Jiang Lin murmured.
His mind was filled with thoughts.
He felt like he had seen something incredible… No, these memory scenes were inherently incredible.
At the same time, a guess was forming in his mind.
Compared to this, the group led by 'Shan' at the beginning of the human race's rise, did not seem so surprising anymore.
…
By the time Jiang Lin came out of the lounge, another day had passed.
As soon as he opened the lounge door, Jiang Lin felt something soft rub against his feet.
At the same time, a soft sound echoed:
"Meow~"
"?"
A question mark appeared in Jiang Lin's mind, and he looked down.
He met the gaze of a milky white, soft little kitten looking up at him.
Its two sapphire eyes looked at Jiang Lin expectantly.
Its tail wagged behind it.
Jiang Lin: "...Mechanical Sphere?"
"Meow~"
The little kitten immediately meowed happily and rubbed its face against his shoe.
Jiang Lin: "…"
He didn't recognize it at first.
But after switching perspectives, he saw the energy source within the kitten.
The energy source of a mechanical body was different from that of ghosts.
It was more similar to various sentient weapons.
"How did you become like this?"
The mechanical sphere happily shook its head, "Meow~!"
Senior said that if you want to be a group favorite,
There are several routes.
One, be cute and obedient, like the companions in the "Alliance of Counterattacks." You can act cute and play freely.
Two, be able to help everyone, cool/gentle/cheerful. This requires certain abilities and insight.
For example, your master would definitely hope you study hard and focus on your own development.
"Meow~"
…
【Mini Theater】
One day,
Qi Yaoyao was passing by the Eighteenth Hall with her cat, Mao Youyou, and happened to encounter the streamer and the mechanical sphere.
In an instant, Mao Youyou's gaze fell upon the mechanical sphere.
Its eyes suddenly lit up.
Even dangerous existences like Jiang Lin were temporarily forgotten.
Mao Youyou jumped down from Qi Yaoyao's shoulder.
Its black tail stood high, swaying gently.
It let out a friendly meow towards the mechanical sphere: "Meow~"
Mechanical Sphere (White Kitten): "?"
