As for his original Learning Ability, Academic Research, and Scholar Profession? Bai Qingyun scoffed at these. One added Knowledge and the other extra Experience; he had plenty of such talents.

Why didn’t he do it? The reason was simple: he wasn’t as fierce as Qin Muye, nor as strong as the True Dragon Emperor, and he didn’t want to expose his identity as a Reincarnator.

As for the chance of intercepting the Black Hand, that was even less reliable because Bai Qingyun discovered that all such opportunities involving the Black Hand were provided by Qin Muye, not found or stolen, indeed the entire territory’s Spirit Monster opportunities were the same, all dependent on Qin Muye alone.

As for how Qin Muye managed to win, he was curious but chose not to delve deeper. Every Lord has their own secrets, just like their Professions and Talents.

It was just a server after all. For him, abandoning it was no big deal; it wasn’t worth the risk.

Did he really think he was there to save the Magic Continent? If he used the Server Transfer Token now, he wouldn’t be able to receive the rewards from this event.

If there really were any, Qin Muye would have gotten them long ago with his methods.

This series of strong individuals being corrupted and contaminated by the Ancient God, and each striving toward Rank 7, had crumbled despite divine help in his previous life, ultimately forcing them to flee helplessly.

This Territory Ascension Scroll·Wisdom Tree seemed tailor-made for him, the difference between the Wisdom Oak and the Wisdom Tree was like night and day.

This left Bai Qingyun somewhat dumbfounded, as it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Why was this Lord of the Red Wind Territory so wealthy?

In his view, other Lords might rely on talent, profession, and strength, but this Lord of the Red Wind Territory relied on luck. How else could he have so many great treasures? It surely couldn’t be that he made them himself; that was impossible because he had potential Divine Artisans, Alchemists, and heroic trajectories among his followers.

Besides, he wasn’t out to kill but for the opponent’s opportunity. Killing the opponent would only turn an opportunity that could be acquired multiple times into a one-time thing. Who shears a sheep by killing it? Only by continually shearing can one gain enough opportunities.

Thinking of all this made Bai Qingyun extremely eager.

Once he upgraded his Wisdom Oak to a Wisdom Tree, he was confident he could catch up with the True Dragon Emperor, with the innate difference in territories laid plain before him.

Otherwise, there really were no other options, not even the Elf Clan was guaranteed to have some architectural blueprints of Garden Elf troops.

Like other people’s territories, their inherent buildings and troop enhancement trees were all quite formidable.

The idea was good, but implementing it was a bit challenging because he wasn’t familiar with the internal management structure of the Floating City. He needed time to gather intelligence to execute a strategy of division, otherwise, rely on rumors? Those couldn’t even get a foothold because, apart from the Spirit Monster, there were no other native residents in the opponent’s Different Plane Floating City.

Relative to dealing with the Ancient God, he preferred to leave the Magic Continent Server after collecting his reward this time. Why else would he stay here if he had no business?

Nowadays, if he wanted to get the architectural blueprints for Garden Elf troops, his only option was to approach the God of the Elf Clan.

He had tried to meet Qin Muye several times, but the latter simply ignored him. Every communication had been through that same Spirit Monster, the Black Hand.

He certainly knew of many components for synthesizing Divine Artifacts, aware of how powerful a single Artifact could be.

Thus, he was exceedingly envious that Qin Muye had managed to transform the Mage Tower into a Different Plane Floating City.

Things had completely veered off the tracks of his previous life; he remembered that at this point in his past life, the Wisdom Tree had been corrupted and fallen due to the Ancient God, but not now; it would take at least another two months.

Even that so-called opportunity the opponent originally had was just to obtain a rare Profession, which led to a misjudgment.

For him, the time was about right; the fall of the Wisdom Tree was a watershed, signaling the full revival of the Ancient God.

Unfortunately, his talents had not undergone several upgrades at that time, and the opportunities he could see were only recent ones. The opponent’s script was also ordinary, so he had not taken it seriously.

But they had absolutely no way of accomplishing these, so it definitely wasn’t a matter of strength.

Garden Elves could bring good fortune to the entire territory, even if they were just a Rank 1 troop. Yet, they were divine creatures. It was said the precursor of the Elf Divine was a Garden Elf.

They were not from the Elf Clan of the Magic Continent, because in his past life at this time, the Magic Continent had already scattered due to the reasons of the Ancient God, displacing all Lords.

Feiyun had no choice, he was only Rank 5 and could not defeat the Wisdom Tree, a Rank 6 being.

In his previous life, he had a Garden Elf too, but its origin was quite troublesome. It was obtained by subduing a god of the Elf Clan to serve as his subordinate divinity.

Well, the premise was seeing the person in reality, otherwise it was all in vain.

After its corruption, the Wisdom Tree became a Rank 7 entity, extremely powerful. Fortunately, the True Dragon Emperor was even more skilled. With the strength of Rank 6, he managed to kill the Wisdom Tree, but it was too late by then. Not only the Wisdom Tree had fallen, but also the sacred dragon king of the Dragon Clan, the long-dead former queen of the Elf Clan resurrected due to corruption, and the Golden King of the Dwarf Clan, among others.

He naturally knew of the other’s Talent since the other’s Rank was lower than his, and they didn’t yet possess a Treasure that could block the Reconnaissance Skill.

But things were different now. He could see more, and the other had begun to rise, turning into something that might grab something desirable from him unexpectedly, far more than the rotten fish and shrimp of the past.

Apart from good fortune, they were extremely powerful logistical troops that could play a huge role even in the later stages of a Divine Country of Rank 8.

Wasn’t it just to earn some Points and obtain ten chosen Treasures?

In his eyes, Qin Muye was merely tangible without any divinity, because it merely changed the nature of things. However, if he used the Territory Ascension Scroll, he would obtain the corresponding legacy building, like Qin Muye’s dried up Magic Pool, due to the poor quality of his territory.

Initially, he still felt hopeful about the situation, but as it worsened, the absence of a corrupted Wisdom Tree did not affect the subsequent Revival of the Ancient God, unless he could prematurely kill those ancient powers that would resurrect due to the Ancient God’s Power.

Bai Qingyun wanted to remove the shadow between him and Qin Muye. It’s clear that killing was no longer an option, for both the shadow and Qin Muye were under multi-layered protection within the Different Plane of the Floating City, unreachable to him.

Rank 6 was a Kingdom, Rank 7 was an Empire, Rank 8 was a Divine Country, and Rank 9 was beyond his knowledge as he only reached Rank 8 in his past life.

“As long as the Lord of Red Wind Territory starts doubting the shadow, then I have a chance. Afterward, relying on the content of the Life Script to make friends and gain their trust, meet in a month or two, and this opportunity will roll in.”

“This Lord of Red Wind Territory has really given me a tough problem,” Yang Feiyun couldn’t help but say with a bitter smile.

“How can this Lord of Red Wind Territory be so timid, he doesn’t even show his face?” Bai Qingyun said with a bit of frustration.

“Thinking about it now, the other must have been incredibly lucky at that time, the Talent of the Crimson Ancestor must have been a fluke.”

“I hope the Elf Divine doesn’t mess around, otherwise, don’t blame me for taking action,” Yang Feiyun started recruiting Rank 6 troops; his Rank 6 troop buildings had already been constructed, and now all he needed was to recruit.

“Territory Ascension Scroll? How could such a thing appear at this stage, and from the Wisdom Tree? Did this Lord of Red Wind Territory slaughter the Wisdom Tree?” Yang Feiyun was utterly confused.

“It seems this life has really changed a lot. It’s good the Wisdom Tree is dead; at least it won’t fall in two months.”

“It seems I still need to advance my Rank. Otherwise, the Elf Divine might not even care to see me,” Yang Feiyun’s expression changed, and he decisively began to promote his own Rank and the reward level of his territory, bringing it to Rank 6.

“Maybe… I can undermine the trust between the Lord of Red Wind Territory and this Hero, and then it will be easy to capture.”

“The blueprints for the Fire Spirit Monster are easy to get, but not for the Garden Elf. This thing is only found in legacy buildings unless you seek out the Elf Divine because there are simply no regular blueprints available,”

“I must find a way around that Hero known as ‘Shadow,’ who manages the territory.”

“I must figure out a way to meet them in person. They could give such massive opportunities to their troops, the opportunities on them must be beyond my imagination.”
