MC's career as foreign lord

It was still dreamlike, like silken ribbons of powder, with bright and dazzling light. He could see cities drifting on these silver seas, and all kinds of creatures walking about. In this world, as brilliant as starlight, every person walking might be a legend.

This was truly a magnificent and vast world, Zhou Ren couldn't help but sigh. The feeling of coming here for the second time was completely different from the first. Back then, he was just a newbie, only aware of the dazzling light and endless space.

But now, he could understand a little bit, even including the various space-time bridges, and even the races and combat power represented by different lights. He could distinguish them very well.

This was actually very important in some ways, allowing him to not easily offend people when he came to the Astral Plane next time. Of course, with his current strength, there weren't many people he could offend, except for the gods, perhaps only some abominations and some top powerhouses who were not inferior to the gods.

Soon, the two of them left this streamer-like passage, finally leaving the dreamlike shuttle passage, and no longer seeing the bizarre phenomena of the Astral Plane. It was just like when they went to eat. What appeared after the real passage dissolved was the figure of a city, that city was very far away from them.

As for how far away, Zhou Ren couldn't judge. He could only勉勉强强 analyze how much time these distant things could bring him.

Xia wasn't idle either. After planting more than 100 Trees of Life in the territory, this elven princess, the future queen, had already become a true legend.

So, the two who originally needed a legend to greet them had already abandoned that pretense. Xia unfolded her staff, and then connected to a ray of light from Silvermoon City in the distance.

"This is the real way to travel in the Astral Plane," Xia said, she was explaining to Zhou Ren, "Ordinary powerhouses, if they can't travel in this way, they can easily get lost and eventually sink in the Astral Plane. Even if they don't die or go hungry, there will still be big problems."

Zhou Ren nodded to show his understanding. He also roughly understood the structure of this world. The most typical is this starry world, which is as vast and endless as the universe he understood in his previous life.

If you don't have a special understanding of the world, the biggest problem with traveling in this area is that you will be abandoned. The area is vast and boundless, and it is still constantly changing.

If you accidentally leave here, it's not just a simple matter of getting lost. It's getting lost in the endless Astral Plane. You won't die, but you won't live either. You will be under endless mental pressure until death.

And your body will keep spinning in this world until someone finds it and makes it into something else, or your spirit is strong enough to drift in the Astral Plane and be picked up by someone after who knows how long.

The length of time you can survive is the ultimate limit you can stay in loneliness. Even if there have been cases of mages who got lost in the Astral Plane and then came back to life, this situation is something no one wants to try, after all, no one wants to experience the endless loneliness of being abandoned by almost the entire world.

So, the two of them didn't stay here for long, but quickly followed the silver and gold rays of Silvermoon City and quickly reached their destination. During this time, they also experienced some strange scenes, the astral incarnations of some mages rushing on their way, some native astral races, and the Githyanki who were preparing for war.

Among them, those Githyanki even wanted to stop Zhou Ren. They felt an endless psionic aura on this hurrying man, which was not the aura of a psionic storm, but a psionic curse that made them all feel greedy.

However, after seeing the elven princess's staff, they all retreated very tactfully. Even if they were the most violent plunderers on the continent, so what about the race?

They didn't have the capital to provoke a powerful life god clan. Their home was a place in the Astral Plane where a god could directly intervene. Even if they defected to other gods, no one would go to war with the entire life god system because of their crime.

"Why are they so interested in me?" Zhou Ren was very curious, and Xia, who was beside him, explained it to him very clearly. The elven princess had already known about the psionic curse on him, after all, catching a Aboleth from the river was never news.

You must know that later they also fished many times, and after their strength increased and their power strengthened, they could only catch some strange new continental species, and they could also catch some products from the underground world, but not a single Aboleth.

This kind of terrifying continental race, as expected, is not so easy to catch, so the fact that he was able to get one at the very beginning is indeed very incredible.

You must know that even Liya, this little lucky European, has never caught a special fish, but Zhou Ren, this lord, can often fish and catch some strange products.

From various enchanting books of the MC category to different equipment and fishing rods with the Blessing of the Sea, to some special products from other races, special life from the underground world, and even a large house of the Mushroom People.

The Myconid chieftain specifically identified that this was the huge house that their entire race lost 1000 years ago, and it was also the biggest loss after that underground flood. Unexpectedly, it appeared in this world like this.

For them, the practical significance of this big house is not great, but the symbolic significance is very great, almost extraordinary.

All the Myconids have basically benefited from this big house. Although their race is not the oldest among the Mushroom People, it is the most well-known among the Mushroom People, and many of the powerhouses who once hid in the underground world have also experienced the slow recovery under this mushroom.

That's right, the function of this mushroom is a bit similar to the Tree of Life. It can release restoring spores, so that the people below can slowly recover without any side effects. This is also the foundation for the Myconid family to survive in the underground world.

After this big mushroom disappeared in a flood, the Myconid family also began to collapse and be destroyed rapidly. They could only differentiate into different races and then wander underground.

"With this, I can gather all the fungal people of the Underdark here!" Spore Ten said, seemingly delighted. He even had his subordinates take specially made drafts and start digging holes beneath the territory, preparing for the future gathering of many mushroom people.

Zhou Ren was naturally happy as well. An increase in the territory's population was beneficial to him in every way.

Turning back to the topic of the Githyanki, Xia explained, "The Githyanki were once servants of the Mind Flayers. Their psionic power can only be obtained from psionic races, so it's incomplete!"

"However, they possess the ability to convert psionic energy. Once they acquire a psionic curse, they can absorb it and convert it into their own psionic power, turning the cursed person into their plaything!"

"Good heavens!" Zhou Ren exclaimed, "Am I really going to be at odds with the psionic races?"

He couldn't help but sigh. Aside from the Mind Flayers, he had almost encountered all three major psionic races. The Aboleth he had fished out was still lying in the secret warehouse at home, waiting for the chance to be used.

And he hadn't even reached Silvermoon City yet, only having wandered around the Astral Plane for a bit before being targeted by another psionic race?

Zhou Ren suddenly became curious, "Doesn't that mean that anyone marked by a psionic race is likely to be killed if they encounter anything related to psionic races?"

"Yes!" The Elf Princess surprisingly nodded firmly, looking at Zhou Ren with some worry, "All psionic races will not let go of someone with a psionic curse. The original Psionic Grand Curse was developed to counter those mages who wanted to hunt psionic races and obtain new psionic power!"

Unexpectedly, the blame was ultimately placed on the mages who once ruled the world. Those old mages really did all sorts of bad things; everything seemed to be related to them.

But thinking about it, it made sense. This group of people didn't even respect the gods, completely expelling most of the gods' followers. They obtained their power from the void, using the Weave but refusing to acknowledge Mystra.

This alone showed their true nature. All mages disrespected the gods and wanted to replace them. The leader of those mages, Ioulaum, still occupied the body of an Alhoon lich, studying the psionic power and magic of the continent, and continued to resist the leadership of the gods.

"So, the psionic races, once bitten by a snake, are afraid of ropes for ten years. They want to eliminate all creatures with psionic curses and fundamentally solve the problem, right?" Zhou Ren said.

No wonder many races on this continent have never had any good feelings towards the lost mage empire. They were clearly tricked by the arrogant behavior of the mages, just like him.

After all, who could know that the mages hadn't already paved the way for what he was doing, leaving countless pitfalls for him?

After all, this group of mages perished too quickly, leaving no traceable information. Even the Nesser Scrolls were fragmented and preserved by various churches. What could ordinary people glean from them?

Therefore, these mage remnants didn't live very well in any region. At least the elves who befriended them gave them some land to survive on. As for the other races, they really wished they were dead.

"You should be more careful in the Astral Plane in the future, or have something to escape with. Otherwise, even our elves would have trouble with the Githyanki's encircling army!" Xia said.

Her face was full of worry, "Astral Pirates are Githyanki under the command of their Queen. Every mature pirate has an adult red dragon as a mount. This is a contract they signed with the red dragon clan. Most red dragons operate in the Astral Plane!"

"Every mature pirate has an adult red dragon, doesn't that mean each of them has legendary combat power?" Zhou Ren said. Although the number of dragons was pitifully small compared to other races on the continent, even a white dragon, the shame of the dragon clan, would have legendary combat power after reaching adulthood and old age.

Other races found it incredibly difficult to reach legendary status and needed to fulfill their destiny. Dragons could gain legendary combat power without fulfilling their destiny, making them the undisputed overlord race.

It was precisely because of this that the Githyanki, who had forged an ancient pact with the red dragon clan, could still fight many legendary races without falling behind, even though their own psionic talent was insufficient to reach legendary status.

They plundered various races in the Astral Plane and brought them to the main world, extracting even greater profits and resources. Even the Underdark was full of news about them.

Moreover, even after so many years of being wanted and hunted by countless races, the number of Githyanki had only increased, and they had even established a reputation as plunderers that could make children cry in different regions.

"I'm not worried about that. If they really dare to catch me, they should be prepared for mass annihilation!" Zhou Ren said. Don't think that his various equipment and tools were just for show, and don't think that the TNT he made was only for making fireworks.

He was just a宅 (otaku), not fond of running around, but that didn't mean he didn't have any protective measures against the dangers he encountered. The box of TNT he carried with him was never just for show.

Wearing explosion-proof clothing, he dared to blast a path to survival from any area.

The two of them discussed matters related to psionic races, and Xia also told him some rumors from the Ancient Stone about different psionic races. In short, they were not easy to provoke, so don't provoke them but don't be afraid either.

The reason why psionic races were strong was because of the great reputation they had established in ancient times, but the reason why they were weakening was also because the current mainstream races were not afraid of them.

The characteristics of psionic power came from silent control, irresistible fragility, and completely hidden spellcasting. However, after the core skill of controlling humans was neutralized, they had a generational gap with the races of modern society in various large-scale wars and constructions.

Zhou Ren tried hard to remember these things, as they might be useful someday.
