"My name is Xu Xianzhi. I used to be a trial participant. The universe I live in is the same as yours, and it is also undergoing dimensional ascension. However, due to an accident, I gave up my status as a trial participant and settled down in this star field, where I built this city."

He turned around, his gaze falling on Lin Wan and Ye Fan, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"The chaotic beasts in Guixu City are all my subjects."

"I endowed them with intelligence, form, and order."

"Here, they don't have to kill each other, they don't have to struggle for survival."

"As you've seen along the way, they live much better than their counterparts outside."

Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Indeed... much better than those outside who only know how to eat people."

Xu Xianzhi seemed to have heard his words, and his smile deepened.

"So, I'm wondering, would you two be interested in becoming my subjects as well?"

He changed the subject, his tone still gentle, but the pressure emanating from him became heavier.

"I can give you rare and precious treasures. Anything you want, as long as it's available in Guixu City, I can give you: spiritual herbs, secret treasures, cultivation resources, beautiful beastmen... you name it, I can give you everything."

"Furthermore, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can try to help you fulfill them."

He paused for a moment, looking into Lin Wan's eyes.

"All I need is for you to... give up your status as trial participants."

Lin Wan's expression hardened slightly.

So, have they finally revealed their true intentions?

He sneered inwardly.

Give up your status as a trial participant?

That's easy to say. Leaving aside the fact that he doesn't know how to give up,

Even if he knew, he couldn't give up.

Xu Xianzhi directly made his demands, clearly indicating that he had them figured out.

However... he was very curious to know what gave this person such confidence.

Ye Fan, who was standing to the side, was displeased.

He took a step forward, his voice still a little weak, but as Lin Wan's mouth double, his attitude was very firm:

"Hey, you think we'll just become your subjects just because you tell us to?"

"Why should we? We don't even know you. You think you can just give us resources like that?"

"To strip us of our status as trial participants with just a few words? Even a three-year-old wouldn't be that easily fooled!"

Did your mother ever teach you...?

Xu Xianzhi glanced at him.

Ye Fan's voice abruptly stopped.

It wasn't because he was afraid; his innate divine talent gave him a certain ability to resist any pressure.

But he could clearly sense that

There was something in that other person's gaze that... far exceeded his tolerance limit.

That's the feeling of being controlled.

It's as if Xu Xianzhi is the rule itself in this city.

Ye Fan shrank back, silently retreating behind Lin Wan, and added in a low voice:

"...Anyway, my brother-in-law has the final say."

Xu Xianzhi didn't care about Ye Fan's retreat, and instead turned his gaze back to Lin Wan.

He smiled and added calmly:

"I forgot to tell you, my talent is SSS-level, and it's lord-class."

He stretched out his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and a semi-transparent map of light and shadow appeared in the void.

That's an aerial view of the entire Guixu City.

Every corner, every street, and every building in the city is clearly visible on the map.

Along the city's outline, a layer of golden light enveloped it, resembling a giant dome.

"As long as I am in this city, I am invincible."

Xu Xianzhi's voice was resolute.

"The effect of the [Lord] talent is simple: within my territory, I can use the abilities of all my subjects within that territory."

"And all outsiders who enter my territory can only use basic attributes and cannot use any cultivation system."

He looked at Lin Wan and Ye Fan with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"In other words, you can only rely on the power of your physical body here."

"All cultivation techniques, spells, talents... are irrelevant to me, and irrelevant to you."

"Of course," he added.

"If you don't want to be my subjects, I won't force you. But..."

He paused slightly.

"In this city, my word counts."

The hall fell silent.

Ye Fan's expression changed.

Can only basic properties be used?

Can't use the cultivation system?

He subconsciously sensed the power within his body that belonged to his innate divine talent...

Nothing happened at all.

As for a cultivation system, sorry, there isn't one.

However, he wasn't a primary combatant. He looked at Lin Wan and said in a low voice:

"...Brother-in-law, are you confident?"

Wang glanced at him.

Then she turned her head and looked at Xu Xianzhi quietly, utterly indifferent.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xu Xian assumed he was weighing the pros and cons, so he added:

"I know this is hard for you to accept. But that's the reality; you have no choice in this city."

"I can give you a day to think it over, or even until the end of the trial."

"As long as you're willing..."

"No."

Lin Wan interrupted him.

Xu Xianzhi was slightly taken aback.

Lin Wan raised her head, looked at the strange-looking man, and smiled.

"The restrictions you mentioned... don't seem that great."

Xu Xianzhi's smile froze.

"...What did you say?"

"You just said that anyone who enters your territory can only use basic attributes and cannot use any cultivation system."

Lin Wan moved her wrist, and the bones made a cracking sound.

Did I tell you...?

He took a step forward.

"I don't have a cultivation system at all."

Xu Xianzhi's pupils contracted slightly.

Lin Wan took another step, leaving a large imprint on the marble floor beneath her feet.

"All my fighting power comes from pure, natural, and unpolluted sources."

He stopped in his tracks.

There were less than five steps between them and Xu Xianzhi.

"You're preventing me from using the cultivation system?"

Wang pressed one hand against his forehead, his mouth splitting into a wide grin.

"Hehehehehehe—!"

"I never had it in the first place."

"You talk about limiting abilities? What can you limit me with?"

"I am invincible!"

boom!!

The True Dragon Bloodline, the Chaotic Overlord Martial Body, the Emperor's Bone, and the Endless Sword Technique were all activated.

An immense spiritual force pressed down on Prophet Xu.

For the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in Xu Xianzhi's eerie eyes.

Ye Fan, who was standing to the side, witnessed this scene.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and began to act out the details in cooperation with Lin Wan:

"Hehehe!!"

"Ridiculous! We've never even practiced any training system!"

"And with your pathetic talent, can you even limit SSS-level? Can you even limit EX-level?"

He instantly perked up and peeked out from behind Lin Wan:

"Hey, you freak, what did you just say?"

"What a coincidence, my brother-in-law's specialty is basic attributes!"

Xu Xianzhi remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Lin Wan.

He is confirming.

To confirm whether what this human is saying is true or false.

What he perceived was indeed only pure flesh and blood.

There was no trace of the operation of the technique, nor any mark of systematic cultivation.

There was only one thing inside that body.

A power that is pure to the extreme.

For the first time, Xu Xianzhi's expression showed panic.

However, at that moment, while the other party was distracted, Lin Wan...

He grabbed Ye Fan and ran out of the city lord's mansion at the fastest speed he had ever run.

With the support of their spiritual power, they transformed into two streaks of light that pierced the sky, instantly bringing the stunned Xu Xianzhi back to his senses.

His expression was grim, and a surge of intent gathered between his brows as he angrily rebuked:

"Lady White Snake, stop them!!"

......

"Brother-in-law, are we really not allowed to get involved with him?"

"I can't even touch it. All talents and abilities below SSS rank are banned. I can't beat them!"

Ye Fan asked tremblingly, "Can we run?"

"I guess so!"
