Chapter 203: Chapter 205: The Shift in the Native Forces’ Alignment

He had spent a day in the fairytale world before he returned to the Magic Continent.

During this period, he discussed again with Gaia and reconfirmed the selection of his bodyguard. Of course, it wasn’t about placing them in Qin Muye’s territory, but about adopting a shift system with Titans who followed Cronus, the second-generation God King, to the Horror Universe.

This was the agreement they had set, meaning that Qin Muye could summon a Titan through the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to aid him and, if the enemies were too powerful, all Titans in the Horror Universe were required to come and assist him in battle.

Qin Muye, in turn, was responsible for the connection between the two worlds, such as having the duty to open the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to connect the two worlds when the Titan Divine Race faced danger.

This was essentially an intrusion of the fairytale story into the Horror Universe, only limited by the consumption of the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel, allowing connections only once per hour. The cost was allowing Qin Muye to exploit resources from both the fairytale and Horror Universe to a certain extent.

Of course, the exploitation of resources from the Horror Universe could only commence once the Titans’ status had been stabilized.

It wasn’t an easy task for Cronus, the second-generation God King, to summon his siblings; it couldn’t be completed in a single day, it would take at least half a month.

His siblings constituted a cumbersome and massive system, and Cronus desired not only his siblings but also their offspring, to form a complete system for his governance.

Moreover, the migration wouldn’t be completed all at once but would have to go through three to five shifts, and Gaia would bear the costs during this period.

Gaia didn’t leave; she herself was the earth of this world. Should she depart, problems would arise with the earth, so she couldn’t leave.

Just like Uranos, the Sky God King in the fairytale world; if he were to leave, there would be no sky in the world.

Therefore, Qin Muye had to wait for fifteen days to return to the fairytale world to meet Cronus and the Titans. He didn’t have time to waste fifteen days here.

In that time, it was better for him to return and perfect the second stage of the special medicine for Ancient God Erosion. Otherwise, what was he to do, idle away the time here?

Once back in his territory, he began the research intensely.

“I originally thought that the phase one Ancient God Vaccine was mostly for the indigenous people, but unexpectedly, it turned out to have dismal sales there while the Lords couldn’t get enough,”

Qin Muye found this quite odd, which might mean that the sales for the phase two special medicine would probably be even lower.

He had his suspicions about this situation, which was that the Ancient God Erosion was more severe in the indigenous people, so they paid no heed to the Ancient God Vaccine.

At this rate, should a battle occur, many of the indigenous people would probably die instantaneously.

Instantaneous death was still the best-case scenario; he worried about being stabbed in the back.

But if they refused the medicine, what could Qin Muye do?

“Once they reach the stage of being devout followers, perhaps they will keep a low profile at the early and middle stages out of fear of the Lords’ powers, but once they transition to the Claw Stage at the later stage, then true decay will begin,”

Qin Muye considered this matter, and, based on the latest experimental data, he estimated that within ten to twenty days, most of the Transcendents would reach the later stages of infection, meaning that most of these forces would align more with the Ancient Gods rather than the Magic Continent itself.

“This trend is moving towards destruction…”

After some reflection, Qin Muye directly posted the results on the chat channel. This matter needed leaders such as the True Dragon Emperor to take the lead; Qin Muye couldn’t handle it alone.

As for if other Lords were also unable to manage it, then Qin Muye couldn’t help either. If worse came to worst, he could just run away. After all, the Floating City was nearly completed, and one more month was all that was needed.

There were basically no issues with the construction period. Originally, at least five more months were needed, but with sufficient resources, efficiency had greatly increased.

However, that was just one aspect. The other aspect was that the situation with the Ancient Gods increasingly worried Qin Muye, especially now, as he feared the world might be destroyed because of it.

Thus, it was essential to prepare an escape route in advance.

And with the Floating City, Qin Muye could freely leave the Magic Continent even without using the Server Transfer Token, like going on an interstellar journey to the Horror Universe.

After all, the universe is vast, and he was quite tempted by the technology of alien civilizations.

The Titan Divine Race wouldn’t likely resolve the Hell issue anytime soon, at least it would take three to five years to destroy all of Hell, and they might even need to invite Chaos Chaos to compete against God. Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly dominate the Horror Universe completely.

By the time they finished, Qin Muye would have already nearly collected all the alien civilization technologies in the Horror Universe, and then he could use the Server Transfer Token to leave. Wouldn’t he stand to gain multiple benefits and even occasionally return to the Magic Continent to check on other Lords?

It wasn’t impossible that some unlucky person got transferred to the Magic Continent with a Server Transfer Token.

Of course, if the True Dragon Emperor directly crippled the Ancient God, Qin Muye could save a Server Transfer Token. Considering the other Lords’ attitudes towards him, at least they wouldn’t stab him in the back. Moreover, if another event promoting world ranking occurred, the True Dragon Emperor and other Lords would likely prioritize protecting him.

After all, from this trade, it seemed that they had placed him in the same position, rather than just fearing his ability to self-destruct as before.

“Such a calamity-prone Magic Continent, tsk~”

Qin Muye couldn’t help but sigh; the Magic Continent was indeed unlucky to encounter them.

If there were no Lords, the Magic Continent would not have ascended in world rank energy level, and although the Ancient God would not stop eroding, it would only amount to minor nuisances due to worldly limitations.

Moreover, there wouldn’t be massive fluctuations in the entire world due to the Lords’ whimsical activities.

“Damn… I finally remembered what I had forgotten.”

Qin Muye vaguely remembered he had forgotten something; originally, he had pushed it to the back of his mind, but suddenly a spiritual light appeared, and he finally remembered.

He had intended to return the Lettuce girl to the fairy tale world, after all, she was one of their own people, and he had painfully cut off the business of selling bloodlines, especially with the Ancient God Vaccine and the Ancient God Erosion Response Special Medicine available, which were making more money than the bloodline business.

And under the current circumstances, the bloodline business was not appropriate.

As a result, Qin Muye only remembered now that the Lettuce girl had been left fermenting in a flask until now, unsure if she was already swollen with fluid.

“Damn, I need to find an opportunity to return her. I remember she is the daughter of River God Akelos, which makes her the granddaughter of the Ocean God and the Sea Goddess.”

“This is too outrageous, these two were staying with me for so long, and now their granddaughter ends up here.”

Qin Muye couldn’t help but scoff.

Fortunately, Qin Muye remembered, and returning her wouldn’t be a big deal later. During this time, she hadn’t been tormented inhumanely; for Lettuce girl, floating in a flask also meant being in a coma, utterly unaware of the passage of time, almost like just having slept.

As for staying, Qin Muye had no intention; keeping her would waste his nourishment liquid. It was better to send her back since her bloodline on her own body wasn’t of any use to him; as Qin Muye had much more complete and superior ones.

His was a Titan Bloodline, while Qin Muye’s Human Race Bloodline was of a higher, original Divine tier, on the same level as Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, Dark God Erebos, and Night Goddess Nyx.

So, since she was of no use anymore, naturally, he sent her back.

Killing her was out of the question; considering the respect for the Ocean God and Sea Goddess, he couldn’t very well slaughter their granddaughter, especially when they probably couldn’t remember all their grandchildren.

Qin Muye might have been a bit heartless, but he wasn’t heartless enough to kill the grandchild of his allies, so returning her was the logical choice.

“Let the Lettuce girl ferment for another half month. Next time I go to the fairy tale world to pick up people, I’ll take her with me. Since she doesn’t perceive time anyway, it’s all instant.”

He didn’t have time to make a special trip just for the Lettuce girl; he’d just bring her along the way next time.

Qin Muye was a busy man, not about to make a special trip for such a minor matter, definitely not because the resource cost to open a Super-Space Transmission Channel could produce a month’s worth of nourishment liquid for the Lettuce girl.
