There are over a billion transmigrators in Battle Through the Heavens.

Chen Xiu said through gritted teeth.

What are you two dawdling about for?

"Why aren't you hurrying to the movie theater to fuel the film's screening?"

Just as the two were feeling sorry for themselves, Zhao Hao's voice suddenly came from nowhere.

Being ordered around like this severely damaged the self-esteem of these two time travelers.

But circumstances are beyond their control, and they can only accept it passively.

……

"Brother Zhao, it's been a long time! Your business is booming!"

Just then, Xiao Yan finally walked in from outside.

Chapter 173 Go ahead and cause trouble. Goodbye, Han Feng.

"Brother Xiao?"

“You haven’t come to see me for a year since you went to the inner courtyard.”

"So, what book do you want to read this time?"

Zhao Hao greeted Xiao Yan with a smile and walked out.

"Brother Zhao, I am grateful for your help before, otherwise I would not have been able to do so well at Canaan Academy."

Xiao Yan had a pretty good impression of Zhao Hao.

At least, this person did help me a lot in the early stages.

Therefore, he planned to have a proper discussion with Zhao Hao instead of forcibly taking over his system.

"It's because Brother Xiao is strong and has the best luck that you've been able to achieve such great success and live such a prosperous life."

As Zhao Hao spoke, his gaze toward Xiao Yan carried a hint of solemnity.

After Xiao Yan's arrival this time, he found it even more difficult to understand him.

"Brother Zhao, I've come to see you today because there's something I want to discuss."

"I've formed a faction. Would you be interested in joining?"

After exchanging a few polite words, Xiao Yan got straight to the point and asked his question.

"Brother Xiao, I don't like fighting and killing. I just want to live a peaceful life here."

"If you want to read, you can choose any book here without paying. But joining a faction is out of the question."

Zhao Hao shook his head; he was just a laid-back person by nature.

Being able to live a peaceful and quiet life is enough.

He really had no interest in things involving fighting and killing.

"Brother Zhao, you've been in the Dou Qi Continent for so long now, haven't you noticed that this world has become very abnormal?"

"As the saying goes, 'The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.' Even if you wish for peace and tranquility, will others give you that opportunity?"

Xiao Yan reasoned with him, appealing to his emotions and logic.

If it were anyone else, he would have already taken action.

However, he could tell that Zhao Hao was indeed not an ambitious person.

This was also confirmed by his own words.

"Alas, how could I not know what Brother Xiao is saying?"

"But as long as I don't go out, no one can defeat me..."

Before Zhao Hao could finish speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly launched a system attack against him.

"Ding! This system has been attacked by other systems and is temporarily unable to protect the host's safety. Please pray for your own good fortune..."

This sudden turn of events immediately threw Zhao Hao into a panic.

Could it be that Xiao Yan attacked me?

But I've never offended him!

[Furthermore, this is clearly my territory, so why can't my system beat his system?]

Xiao Yan overheard all of Zhao Hao's thoughts.

"Brother Zhao, do you understand now?"

"Even if you keep hiding here, sooner or later a powerful person will come looking for you and deal with you like they did just now. When your system is too busy to take care of itself, the abilities it gave you will no longer be able to be activated."

Xiao Yan did not continue to attack; he simply wanted Zhao Hao to understand.

Even staying in this library is not absolutely safe.

After all, even an invincible domain can be broken by other invincible entities.

Not to mention his library.

"This……"

Zhao Hao's expression was rather unpleasant.

I thought that as long as I managed my library well and didn't leave, no one could hurt me.

But now it seems I was too naive.

"Brother Zhao, please think carefully about what I have to say."

"Only by joining my forces, concentrating all resources, and making one person strong first, can we protect the rest."

Xiao Yan continued to persuade Zhao Hao.

Although Zhao Hao is a bit of a slacker, he still has some abilities.

The Library of All Worlds was managed very well by him.

If we can subdue it, we can continue to guard this place in the future.

"Brother Xiao, please give me some time!"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Hao slowly spoke.

What just happened did serve as a wake-up call for him.

If you really encounter someone whose system level is higher than yours, he is indeed in great danger.

However, following Xiao Yan also carries a high risk.

After all, the death rate of people around the protagonist is over 90%.

Those who survived were either women or completely marginalized.

If I were to side with Xiao Yan, I'd probably be marginalized.

Fortunately, he himself has no ambition, so whether he is marginalized or not is not important.

As long as I can live a peaceful life, that's enough.

"Are Chen Xiu and Ling Yu still here with you?"

"Could you hand these two over to me?"

Hearing Zhao Hao's thoughts, Xiao Yan knew that the matter was probably settled.

Now all we need to do is take down Chen Xiu and Ling Yu.

"They're still there; I've arranged for them to be in the book theater."

Zhao Hao nodded and said.

"That's good."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he slowly walked towards the library and cinema.

……

Outside the library and cinema.

Since the cinema requires energy to operate, Chen Xiu and Ling Yu were conscripted as laborers.

"Brother Chen, how about we find a chance to escape?"

"Staying here to work for that heartless Zhao Hao is a dead end."

"Moreover, even if you and I read books, we won't get anything of great value, and we'll never have a chance to get ahead."

Ling Yu looked at Chen Xiu with a wronged expression.

"Go ahead and run if you want!"

"I'm not going to run away anyway. A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he live a life of melancholy and subservience to others?"

"Although Zhao Hao is a bit ruthless, at least he gave us the opportunity to read books."

"Just once... just one opportunity, and we can turn things around and stop being bullied by others."

"If we run now, we'll never be able to keep up with the pace in our entire lives."

Chen Xiu shook his head; he saw things much more clearly than Ling Yu.

If you run away now, you'll never have another chance to become stronger.

Even the natives would leave them far behind.

In this world of immortals and martial arts, the pace of the game will only get faster as you progress.

By the time Xiao Yan goes to Zhongzhou, their strength will probably be so limited that they won't even qualify as cannon fodder.

"You two, are you both busy?"

Just then, Xiao Yan's voice slowly entered their ears.

"Xiao...Xiao Yan?"
