Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhao Yi learned from the Forgotten Traveler that the Touch of Forgottenness was actually a life support system created for it by the Maya and Atlantis.

He also owes Maya and Atlantis a favor.

But it's not time to pay it back yet.

"This universe has no home for me..."

I am about to embark on a long journey.

"We may meet again in the future."

After the Forgotten Traveler finished speaking, Zhao Yi returned to the Bloodline Temple.

The original head had completely weathered into ashes.

The forgetful traveler has departed.

For Zhao Yi, the head brought him considerable gains.

Based on the information available, it can be determined that he was indeed a person from the Holy Mountain in the past.

Moreover, there are many terrifying beings within the sacred mountain...

This also includes the ancients and the gods.

Later, a great change occurred on the sacred mountain—

The tower collapsed.

Some of the ancient beings even left the sacred mountain!

Is it related to the church?

Zhao Yi had many thoughts.

They pushed open the temple doors.

Zhao Yi arrived in front of the darkest personality and the young evil god Chris, and looked intently at the broken road ahead.

Behind that darkness, a towering tree can be vaguely seen.

There is a well under the tree.

Once this road is carved out, the power of the "magic brush" will be used to build a wide and long path, which will allow us to reach the big tree.

It won't take too long.

Zhao Yi returned to the guild's apartment; his current points total was 202700.

I spent 200,000 points to buy 40 fragments of the Rhyme Dictionary.

The current number of fragments in the book is 322.

Only 170 more sheets are needed to complete the red-themed exercise manual, "The Analects"!

Zhao Yi was filled with anticipation for the red prop!

That's a precious item that's at least comparable to the eyes of a Forgotten Traveler!

Judging from the martial arts manuals of the Warring States period, the value of the Analects is absolutely extraordinary!

Once Taotie recovers, Zhao Yi will be able to continue absorbing the evil god memes from the eyes of the Forgotten Walker to enhance Chris's power!

Preliminary estimates suggest that such an eyeball could provide Zhao Yi with at least 30% of the evil god memes!

By then, Chris will be at least a super-powerful monster!

After sorting through his rewards, Zhao Yi boarded a plane and arrived at the outskirts of the ruined city.

The warehouse ghost met Zhao Yi here and handed him the letter.

I tore open the seal and opened the letter.

The contents of the letter were quite different from what Zhao Yi had expected.

He originally thought that Luanjie Entertainment Company was looking for him to participate in a reality show, but this time, they wanted to discuss a business deal with Zhao Yi.

They promised to help Zhao Yi.

Help him seize control of the inner city of the abandoned city.

Zhao Yi, on the other hand, is required to provide 50% of the money and human resources of other forces in the abandoned city each year to the entertainment company.

If Zhao Yi agrees, he can simply sign the contract in the letter.

The above is the soul contract.

Once signed, both parties must comply.

Otherwise, you will be devoured by your own power.

Zhao Yi carefully read through the letter's clauses, when suddenly the warehouse ghost, Wu Liang, laughed:

"Master, I feel that the conditions offered by the entertainment company this time are quite good."

"Let the other factions in the abandoned city provide the financial and human resources, and we'll reap the rewards..."

Zhao raised an eyebrow and said:

"You think it's good?"

The warehouse ghost was taken aback:

"Isn't that right? We haven't suffered any losses anyway..."

Zhao Yi patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"We've suffered huge losses..."

"What other forces are there in this abandoned city?"

"The ruined city is ours!"

"These entertainment companies aren't helping us at all! They're just making up some excuse to interfere and steal our money!"

The warehouse ghost touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly:

"What the cult leader said is true..."

"But without the help of the entertainment company, we might not be able to take over the ruined city anytime soon..."

Zhao Yi actually knew the answer in his heart.

After all, there are many players from other guilds inside the abandoned city.

This also includes several top-ranked guilds.

A top-tier player.

It will probably not be easy to get control of the abandoned city from them.

"No, we have a way."

"Although the process won't be too fast, it will take at most a few months to gather most of the resources of the ruined city into the Jie Sect..."

As Zhao Yi spoke, the warehouse ghost fell into deep thought.

He considers things very carefully and comprehensively.

"What does the cult leader want to do?"

No matter which aspect he approached, he couldn't find a way to achieve what Zhao Yi had mentioned.

Zhao Yi replied:

"Forming alliances and counter-alliances."

Upon hearing this, the warehouse ghost frowned and said:

"This is difficult."

"The guys in the inner city are all driven by self-interest. They already have a fairly mature network of relationships among themselves. If we want to infiltrate them, we either need to gain everyone's approval, or someone has to be eliminated..."

"They are more likely to trust partners with whom they have cooperated and shared interests in the past, rather than a new force..."

"It's really difficult to persuade them to give up their current stability and cooperate with us to dismantle the situation inside the ruined city."

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"You need to use your imagination."

"It's really not effective for ordinary people to just make empty promises to them."

"But we are members of the 'church'!"

The warehouse ghost trembled slightly.

Zhao Yi continued:

"Breaking down their strong alliance is actually quite easy..."

The warehouse ghost said solemnly:

"What does the cult leader plan to do?"

Zhao lit a cigarette:

"teach."

"What should we teach?"

"Teach them to build tall buildings, teach them to entertain guests..."

Zhao Yi looked at the warehouse ghost and said:

"Instead of turning one wolf in the pack against its will, it's better to train it to become the second alpha wolf..."

"Although it can't defeat the real wolf king, the chaos... will cause a lot of casualties."

"If more people die, it will be easier for us to get in."

After a pause, Zhao Yi turned his head, a bright smile on his face:

"From now on... the land it can't take, I will take."

"The wolf king it can't kill... I'll kill it!"

On the game's leaderboard, all the players whose combat power exceeded the Great Ferocious level have left the Wasteland.

Their attention and focus have become increasingly limited to the guild.

Players who have reached that level of strength have begun to understand the true nature of this world.

These people either went to the capital to seek development or to pursue clues related to the Holy Mountain.

They will not choose to linger in the ruined city.

The remaining forces, apart from the three major guilds which have deep foundations and connections with many NPCs in the ruined city, are not easy to deal with.

If they join forces, the Jie Sect is definitely no match for them given their current strength.

But if it were possible to divide these forces...

The warehouse ghost's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Yi's move to establish a new king... is far more effective than sowing discord.
