Stronger with Crimson Modifier

"Enforce justice on behalf of heaven?"

Hu Qi muttered.

His expression remained perfectly calm.

If he were one of this world’s Natives and knew nothing of other worlds, let alone the existence of the Spirit Realm...

...he might have been quite happy with that.

After all, the temptation to become the sole sovereign of a world, free to do as he pleased, was immense.

Moreover, because of the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman, as long as he remained in this world, not only would his power be amplified, but his Lifespan would be extended to match that of the world itself.

A lifespan equal to that of a world was, without a doubt, incredibly long.

Even the weakest worlds started with lifespans measured in the hundreds of millions of years. Worlds with only a few billion or tens of billions of years were considered ordinary, with weak foundations.

Based on the calculations for this world’s powerful foundation, if it encountered no accidents and followed its natural course of decline, it would have at least several hundred billion years of Lifespan left.

Several hundred billion years.

What did that even mean?

Compared to that, a human lifespan of a hundred years, or even a civilization’s history of several thousand years, was nothing but a fleeting moment.

Like a flower blooming for a single night.

To an ordinary being, it was an unimaginably long time.

It was virtually no different from being Immortal.

But unfortunately for that prospect, Hu Qi was not one of this world’s Natives.

He knew of the Spirit Realm’s vastness and had seen far more expansive vistas.

Worlds like this were as numerous as stars in the sky within the Spirit Realm, no different from bubbles in the ocean that could pop at any moment.

He would never be content to be trapped here as a so-called sovereign of a world, a ruler in name only.

If he had the bad luck to run into some powerful being, he could be caught in the aftershocks of their battle and be annihilated in an instant, not even dust remaining.

He hated that feeling. It reminded him of his time as an ordinary person on Blue Star.

The city where he lived was on an active fault line. Since he lived in a high-rise, he was constantly feeling minor tremors.

Back then, people online always repeated the saying, "No need to run from a small one, and you can’t run from a big one."

It sounded philosophical, but in reality, the words were filled with helplessness.

One’s very life and death were left entirely to the whims of fickle luck.

This was not what he wanted.

He needed to hold every unstable factor firmly in the palm of his hand.

In his eyes, only by becoming powerful enough could he fend off all external threats and eliminate any hidden dangers.

To achieve that goal, he obviously couldn’t stay here.

His plan was to use this place as a coordinate and travel to the world where the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman originated.

From the fragments of information he had just glimpsed, combined with the strange nature of the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman itself, it wasn’t hard to deduce that its world of origin was far from simple.

’If I’m not mistaken, it’s probably located in the Deep Dark Zone.’

’Should I go there directly, or play it safe, find another world to transition through, and accumulate another Spirit Seed first?’

’I’ll have to see how things play out.’

As Hu Qi was lost in thought, a rush of hurried footsteps approached from outside.

The newcomer was none other than Lu Shan, who had only just left.

A rare look of panic was etched on her face.

Upon seeing Hu Qi, she looked as if she had found her anchor. Her panicked expression eased slightly.

"Lord City Lord, this is terrible! Just now, the world seemed to undergo some kind of unknown change. All the Evolvers have had their strength drop by an entire major Realm..."

Before Lu Shan could finish, two more people walked in from outside.

They were none other than Li Xinghai and the other Tier Five Evolver.

However, the auras of all three had now dropped to the Tier Four Level.

Hu Qi had already noticed their condition, but his attention had been so focused on the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman that he hadn’t investigated further.

Now, hearing what they said, he closed his eyes.

An invisible ripple instantly enveloped the entire world.

Everything happening on the Desolate Star came into his view. Furthermore, within his senses, his will connected with a vague and immeasurably vast consciousness.

Hu Qi knew what it was.

It was the will of this world.

Except, unlike before, when it had vehemently resisted his true self, now, upon sensing Hu Qi’s will, it was acting like an obedient puppy, showing clear signs of affection.

Hu Qi understood why with just a moment’s thought.

The Taichu Demon Refining Talisman had already fused with this world, even taking a dominant position.

Now that the Talisman within him was fully formed, the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman had entered his body.

This meant he had obtained the authority of this world, an authority that even superseded the world’s will itself.

Now, as the threads of his will touched that mass of world will, a torrent of information flooded into Hu Qi’s mind in an instant.

The sheer volume of information was immense.

Had it been any ordinary person, their head might have exploded on the spot, their brain unable to process such a deluge of information.

This mass of world will was like a supercomputer.

It held all information about this world, whether it was history buried in the past, events happening in the present, or even the world’s future trajectory.

He could obtain it all with a single thought, as easily as reading the lines on his own palm. It was an utterly profound experience.

And just like that, he easily learned why this situation had occurred.

It was more or less what Hu Qi had expected.
