I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 849 451: Intermediate Zone · Zhen Shi Village

"Lucky to have escaped quickly, after all, I can't afford to be complacent."

"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone an entire world."

Gu Shanhai understood at this moment that under different identities, the treatment one receives varies.

If before he was not yet of this world's kind, no matter how outrageous he acted, it would just result in a lightning strike or some disaster to trouble him, it wouldn't personally intervene.

But now, if he gets exposed, the world he's in will definitely not let him off, it's much like delivering oneself to the enemy's doorstep.

However, given his current strength, as long as he doesn't proactively expose himself, there's a ninety-nine percent chance he won't be discovered, although Gu Shanhai can't really claim a hundred percent certainty in this matter.

Now, Gu Shanhai's enemy has officially upgraded to being the world itself. Of course, he didn't plan on confronting the whole world head-on; he still hopes to use a more indirect method to continue strengthening himself.

In other words, cautiously endure.

"I need to improve on the Size Manipulation and Transformation techniques to further conceal my identity, otherwise I'll be doomed wherever I go."

Given Gu Shanhai's current situation, if he does get exposed, it wouldn't just be targeted attacks everywhere he goes, but rather the world itself taking action against him.

"Then there's the durability aspect; at the very least, it should withstand one ten-thousandth of my power."

"This difficulty is genuinely high."

Actually, it should have been fine originally, but before Gu Shanhai returned, he took a large portion of the Xuandao Universe, which has now been metabolized into nutrients, further enhancing his strength.

Gu Shanhai also found some related information on the "Blood Returning Technique," but he couldn't find specifics because too much time has passed, and there genuinely isn't much information.

Fortunately, a clue was found; it seems some transmigrator with a golden finger created it, then simplified it to having many offspring with great fortune.

It implies that by marrying and having children, one can become stronger, and the Xuandao Alliance is a branch of the descendants of this person.

Initially, there were many branches, but after this transmigrator ancestor left, each contended in mixed war over the ancestor's inheritance, and eventually, the Xuandao Alliance won, inheriting the fortune and becoming like this.

Regarding this, Gu Shanhai can only express disbelief at how transmigrators indeed are the most capable of causing disturbances.

Of course, he didn't leave empty-handed; he acquired the source of the "Blood Returning Technique," which is the transmigrator's golden finger.

A volume called the "Millennium Mortal Life," a peculiar technique, not quite a cultivation technique, but could be considered a divine skill; it's more like a product left behind when the counterpart stripped their golden finger before leaving.

If followed step by step in cultivation, each marriage grants a major reward, each dual cultivation a minor reward, and the birth of offspring grants a permanent enhancement in some aspects, such as improvement in certain cultivation techniques or proficiency in spells.

To Gu Shanhai, it's somewhat heartbreaking; it came too late. If he had obtained this cultivation technique before he had just reincarnated, no, before he arrived in the Adventure King world, and additionally before the completion of his Martial Arts Divine Power Child Skill and Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt, Gu Shanhai could have switched techniques.

This thing is indeed incredibly useful; he can find a wife. With his ability plus the "First Era" platform, he'd definitely be able to thrive better.

By then, with some modifications, it could become a whole new segment within his "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture."

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now; his Martial Arts Divine Power Child Skill has already locked him into the most basic cultivation, even if he wanted to use it, he couldn't, so he could only regrettably abandon it.

Regret aside, Gu Shanhai didn't actually feel remorseful. While strengthening oneself via "Millennium Mortal Life" would indeed be satisfying, missing the opportunity is just what it is. Conversely, his Child Skill and Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt are more suited to him, focusing on high vitality and defense.

Three days flew by, and with Gu Shanhai going all out, he managed to modify his Size Manipulation and Transformation techniques once again, focusing especially on sturdiness, mainly emphasizing resilience.

"The limit can only be one in twenty thousand; if I continue to get stronger, this value will continue to decrease." Gu Shanhai's face fell; he felt useless for failing to create a human skin that can manifest his full power.

"Luckily, I'm not into fighting, but rather resolving fights, otherwise, using it too much would break the human skin." Gu Shanhai clearly understands his own positioning, which is to avoid fighting if possible; if things get tough, then he resorts to sneak attacks, or backstabbing, absolutely avoiding direct confrontation.

He's strong now, but enemies are still there.

"Let me see, it seems the only thing left to strengthen now is the Peeping Dao Stage."

"It's a bit tricky; there's absolutely no reference left now."

Actually, he could have stopped by now, but Gu Shanhai feels there's still some value and wants to squeeze more out of it.

"The original avenue used to break into the Peeping Dao Stage probably has no use anymore; I'll have to find a better breakthrough material."

Regarding avenues, Gu Shanhai is now, his race is the world, so the avenue is himself; he can't use himself to break through since he can't breakthrough with it.

Using himself, chopping into pieces as breakthrough material is simply too nonsensical.

Moreover, using oneself is not feasible as well; what needs to appear has appeared, so he needs to use others instead.
