I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 924 488: Generating an Identity Through Ritual Invocation_2

"It's a bit tricky." Gu Shanhai scratched his head and eventually sighed, "Then I'll just have to use this world for now."

There's no other way; I can't just be stuck here.

"In three days, the 'Path of Civilization' will update. If I can grasp the time differences between the two worlds, does that mean I can obtain a large amount of time-related data? Using this as a reference, perhaps I can accelerate my research."

"The only question is whether the quantum collider's channel can withstand the impact of the changes in time flow."

Gu Shanhai had no experience with this, nor any related data, making it impossible to analyze out of thin air.

Using prophetic divination could provide some information, but it's only a small part, and the differences between the two worlds don't offer much in terms of reference value.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Fortunately, it updates monthly, so there are more opportunities." Gu Shanhai didn't feel urgent; after all, except for the Time History Book pages, everything else in his plan was developing according to schedule.

It's not unusual for plans to have flaws. There's a saying that plans can't keep up with changes. Gu Shanhai never expected to come up with a plan with a 100% success rate; he'd be more than satisfied with over 95%.

"Using the information I have, I'll modify my identity."

The process is somewhat like setting up an altar, but this time, instead of communication, it's about uploading data.

"The technology of the Time History Book pages is truly impressive. I wonder how powerful the complete Time History Book is." Gu Shanhai marveled for a moment before uploading the identity he fabricated into the world.

"Combining my trace resurrection with identity upload allows me to leave a permanent mark in other worlds that cannot be erased."

"Therefore, even if I die, with this, I can occupy the nest and seize control of the world directly."

That's right. Gu Shanhai was no longer considering rebirth or possession of humans, gods, or similar entities, but was directly targeting entire worlds. Seizing the world and then reversing causality to turn that world into himself, thus quickly regaining strength and overcoming the period of weakness.

After creating the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise as companion spirit entities, Gu Shanhai had deduced various resurrection methods, with different levels sufficient to handle different causes of death.

So it was time to move to the next stage.

From being hard to kill with high defense and health at the beginning, to being able to resurrect in various ways when killed, and now figuring out how to quickly regain strength after resurrection to overcome the period of weakness.

This is a complete process. As for killing the enemy before being killed, that's another project's concern.

The best choice is naturally not to die, but Gu Shanhai often plans for defeat before considering victory. After all, he can kill the enemy countless times, but if he dies once, it's over, which is why he thought of ways to allow himself to die countless times.

"Done."

"With this move, not only have I gained a legal identity, but I've also left a mark in the world. When I make a move on the 'Path of Civilization,' it will provide me with some assistance."

Gu Shanhai was delighted. This technique only had theoretical data on paper, and he initially thought it would fail a thousand times, but it succeeded on the first try. It just proves how powerful the Time History Book pages are.

The data he got came from the Time History Book pages, not something he developed himself. The success rate exceeded Gu Shanhai's expectations.

"Being able to control is equivalent to implanting a spy. Later, if I divert the 'Path of Civilization's' attention, the effect of my sabotage will be even better."

"It's just that the modifications I made aren't as effective as the Time History Book pages. Luckily, I have the Three-Life Spiritual Plant to help fill in the gaps." Gu Shanhai wasn't using the Time History Book's pages, and he hadn't fully analyzed them either. It was right that the effect was a bit lacking. If it had been exactly the same, he would have started questioning where he went wrong.

Otherwise, how could his imitation version be better than the original?

"Now I can proceed with the plan to enter the research institute."

The plan is actually quite simple; it's nothing more than building momentum and lowering intelligence.

Building momentum means giving Gu Shanhai enough fame and prestige. Lowering intelligence is making the research institute and the entire upper echelon of the kingdom believe in him; otherwise, how could any politicians, who are as shrewd as individuals, ever believe Gu Shanhai?

Gu Shanhai didn't want to play these mind games with them. As long as their intelligence is lowered, it becomes much easier to deceive them.

...

"So, Master, you've switched to another civilization? You do it more often than you change your underpants." Qing Feng teased.

"At least show some respect, can't you use a better analogy than underpants?" Gu Shanhai was a bit speechless. What kind of metaphor was that from Qing Feng?

"I wanted to use 'girlfriend' as an analogy, but you don't have one either." Qing Feng shrugged.

"..." Ming Yue thought Qing Feng was asking for trouble again. If this continued, Qing Feng would eventually find himself tied up and beaten by Gu Shanhai.

"Master, are you suggesting we slightly tilt resources to support the Earth Element Tribe's Stone Demon?"

Seeing Gu Shanhai pondering how to deal with Qing Feng, Ming Yue quickly spoke to change the topic. One could only say that Qing Feng hadn't taken a beating yet thanks to Ming Yue's exceptional efforts.

"That's right. It's best to help the Earth Element Tribe gain control over the entire Stone Demon Clan, so I can handle things on my side."

"Also, in three days... Oh, I mean thirty days, the time flow between the two worlds will change, and we'll need further planning then."

What Gu Shanhai referred to as his clone wasn't really a clone but more of a remote control. The two worlds were linked together through a channel, filtered, and sealed by Gu Shanhai, allowing only him to go in and out; no one else could pass through it.

It's like Gu Shanhai was using himself to block this channel.

"I see. But, Master, don't you feel disoriented with the time perception issue? After all, you spend ten days here while only one day passes over there. Doesn't it make you dizzy?" Qing Feng curiously asked.

"No, it's just a minor issue." Given Gu Shanhai's current strength, it's really just a trivial matter, not even taking up his mental capacity.

"Oh, then..." Qing Feng wanted to continue speaking.

But Ming Yue, sensing Qing Feng's tendency to get into trouble again, quickly interjected, "There's no problem with support. We can use the Stone Demon Clan to further disrupt the entire Demon Domain."

"Without the player's external interference, the Demon Domain is not to be feared. Stirring it up is even simpler."

Both Qing Feng and Ming Yue were naturally quite wary of the players, especially given the precedent set by the player who ended the Ancient Law Demon. Since the opposing party has the potential to grow to such a stage, one careless move could lead to one's downfall, causing anyone to treat the situation cautiously.

"Mm, go ahead. You don't need to worry about the players' issues." Of course, Gu Shanhai knew there's a saying about matching kings and soldiers.

"And one more thing, I'm planning to get married." Ming Yue abruptly said.

"Mm, indeed it's time for marriage; having no heirs affects Da Xuan's stability." Gu Shanhai didn't feel much about it and didn't bother asking which family Ming Yue was marrying into. As the Emperor, many things were beyond his control. However, Ming Yue was special, with a strong backing, allowing for greater freedom.

"What about you? What's your situation?" Gu Shanhai looked at Qing Feng.

"Soon, soon, I'm still looking." Qing Feng vaguely answered.

Compared to Ming Yue, who had complete control and needed to negotiate even for marriage, Qing Feng naturally had much more freedom.

"Alright, hurry it up." Gu Shanhai didn't rush them. For Qing Feng and Ming Yue, the future was still long. This is just the beginning; even if they reached the God Demon level, having no heirs wouldn't matter. At that point, not only wouldn't their sons live past them, but even grandsons and great-grandsons might not outlive them.

Ming Yue was doing it for stability and not out of personal desire.
