A chat group for a certain tower warlock

"It's possible, but unlikely."

"Okay, but is the world's laws really that slow to upgrade?" Mostima asked, somewhat puzzled.

“In any other great world, that speed would be like flying!” Yarman shook his head, sat in the laboratory chair, and looked at Mostima, saying, “But Terra is just a small, broken world. You can’t expect a tractor to travel at the speed of a top-of-the-line sports car, you know?”

"If this world is so terrible, why don't you go to another world?" Mostima asked, even more puzzled. Knowing Yarman as she did, she was certain that he was capable of doing such a thing.

At this point, Yarman became even angrier. He said angrily, "You think I don't want to run away? It's because I can't! I've been tricked by the world! Oh, I'm so regretful now. Terra is really ruthless. In order to prevent me from leaving, they actually deleted the system that transfers permissions!"

"You have no idea how embarrassed I am right now. My... boss, their world is not peaceful right now, and going to other worlds will inevitably require a complete change of the laws that make up the entire body. If the change is successful, you will be a second-class citizen. If the change fails, your soul will be completely destroyed."

"So there are only two worlds I can go to: Terra and my boss's world. But my boss's world is currently undergoing a process of turning the virtual into the real. If I go there, my physical body will definitely be pulled away to fill the foundation, and I won't be able to come back. So I can only stay in Terra for now."

Ever since Veronica told Yog about the public world, the Outer Gods have all gone mad. They spend all their time thinking about how to make their own world real and completely break away from the rule of their father, Azathoth, so that one day they might all return to Azathoth's body.

The most important thing in turning the virtual into the real is to first have some physical form. So where does this physical form come from? Everyone in their universe has turned their attention to other worlds. Ideally, they would create a public world that belongs to them and use it as a foundation to start building a real physical universe.

But after waiting for so long, Veronica still hasn't found a public physical universe. Coupled with Gherros's anomalies, the rise of the Old Gods, and Azathoth's tendency towards order, these Outer Gods are going crazy. Now, they definitely won't let go of any physical object!

According to Veronica, they have already started gathering materials and seem to have created a physical planet, which is stored at the end of Yog's time and space.

Considering their unscrupulous methods, Yarman, for the sake of his own life, decided it was best not to go. As for his original universe Terra... although it was a damned fraudster, he really had no other choice but to accept it and upgrade himself to world access.

It's my own original universe, after all, and I can't let it be destroyed. Since the world's consciousness can't manage it, I'll take care of it myself!

"So, this is how you are now? I don't believe it!"

"Of course, that's not the only reason; there are others." Yarman glanced at Mostima and sighed. He could run away; if he really wanted to terminate the contract, there must have been a way, but he couldn't!

"The longer a person lives in this world, the more noise they make, the more connections they have, and the less they can escape."

Yarman looked at Mostima and forced a smile as he said, "Terra's world consciousness is too clever and has a huge gambling instinct. It's gambling that I still have the humanity and courage to abandon you, abandon Canaan, abandon everything here, and run to other worlds. If I bet right, I'll stay; if I bet wrong, it's finished."

"..."

"As you can see, it won the bet, I chickened out, so I lost. I haven't lost my humanity, though. I don't dare to abandon you. It tricked me into signing the contract, but I still don't dare to break it."

Looking at Mostima, who was expressionless, Yarman spread his hands and smiled helplessly. "You see, that's how it is. This is the weakness of human nature. A person with a family will always be hesitant and indecisive. It grabbed my manhood, so my mind and will can only follow it."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. At least I gained world access, so I didn't lose out completely. It could have robbed me, but it left me with world access and you."

"I?"

“Yes.” Yarman stood up, walked to Mostima’s side, and gently hugged her in his arms as if she were a rare treasure, as if afraid that she would disappear in an instant. “If I hadn’t taken you away, I was afraid that you wouldn’t have survived the process of changing the fundamental laws. I really would have taken you with me!”

"so……"

"That's right, you are my biggest weakness, my manhood. Once someone catches it, I can only beg for mercy."

"……you……"

"Ok?"

"Snapped!"

"You scoundrel!" Mostima blushed, struggled out of his arms, and pointed at him shyly, scolding, "Can't you say it nicely! What do you mean I'm your second son!"

"I come from a high tower sorcerer background, not a literature academy!"

"Didn't you say you've written textbooks?"

"Originium Arts textbooks require good writing skills? Nonsense! They have to show me whatever I write! Ugh~~~"

"Are you... in pain?"

"...It hurts! It hurts so much! Xiao Mo, come and give me a kiss..."

"I'll kill you! You deserve to die of pain! You unreliable thing, I'll let you die of pain!" Mostima, enraged, pulled out a pistol from his pocket and was about to fire at Yarman, but before he could fire, Yarman fell down.

"I haven't even started fighting, how did you get down!"

"Doesn't this make your marksmanship look good?"

"...I'll beat you to death!"

Chapter 75: My Familia

Just as Yarman and Mostima were playing around, suddenly, two spatial doors appeared in the laboratory, and two identical Yarmans walked out. Upon seeing the original Yarman pinned to the ground, the two walked up to him without hesitation and placed their hands on his shoulders.

"Whoosh!"

The two disappeared into thin air.

"..."×2

“These are just two of my clones.” Yarman looked at the stunned Mostima and said with a smile, “The war in Lungmen is over, the Reunion Movement has collapsed, and the contract between Lungmen and me has ended. They had nothing else to do, so they came back.”

"The Lungmen War is over already? That was fast!" Mostima slowly stood up from Yarman and sat down in a chair. Looking at Yarman, she asked, "Isn't the Reunion Movement supposed to be invincible? How come it was shattered by Lungmen so quickly?"

“It’s just a counterinsurgency operation, what’s so surprising?” Yarman dusted off imaginary dust and sat down in a chair. “The leader of the Reunion Movement has been replaced long ago. They’re just fighting randomly. Besides, the real elites didn’t attack Lungmen.”

"What elite troops?"

"It's the Patriots Division. In the entire Reunion Movement, only the Patriots Division has the capability for legionary combat. The Froststar Division barely has half of that. Of these two divisions, the former was placed in Chernobog as a security force, and the latter was sent to their deaths." Yarman shrugged and said matter-of-factly.

"Otherwise, do you think that the security guards of Longmen, plus a few retired imperial guards and people from the Dali Temple, can protect Longmen? Don't be ridiculous." Yarman said disdainfully. The only outstanding point of the entire Longmen battle was chaos, the kind of chaos that was utterly chaotic.

The disagreements between the command level and the middle-level backbone of Longmen, the mismatch between the orders issued by the middle-level backbone and the execution capabilities of the grassroots personnel, the lack of unified dispatch and consistent command, and the complete disconnect between the top and bottom levels meant that if it weren't for the adequate training and the fact that Longmen was indeed a powerful force, they would have surely perished!

"Let me put it this way: if Patriots were to command this war, Lungmen would be like a pearl oyster, easily pried open by Patriots' halberd and taken away. Wei Yanwu is just reckless, always scheming and plotting. He's just short of being taught a lesson by being crushed."

“…Alright.” Mostima nodded hesitantly. She didn’t see any problem with it. Although it was indeed foolish to put the main battlefield in her own city, other places… should be fine?

"But then again, if Mr. Wei sets the main battlefield in Lungmen, wouldn't your Mr. Henry be the one who benefits?"

"Forget it!" Yarman shook his head and said helplessly, "Longmen is already finished and they've started rebuilding. He's still on his way. By the time he arrives, it'll be too late. But it's okay, he's already sold so much to us. Even if he loses all the rest, it won't bankrupt him."

"..."×2

Seeing Mostima run out of things to say, Yarman raised an eyebrow. He got up and went to a cabinet to the side, took out an exquisite flowerpot, and under her questioning gaze, a beautiful flower grew out of the flowerpot at an astonishing speed. Instantly, a rich fragrance filled the entire laboratory.

"See if you want this flower. You seem to have nothing to do." Yarman placed the flower in front of her. "You can take care of it as you like. Don't worry, it's very resilient. Even if you uproot it, leave it for a month, and then put it back, it will still come back to life."

“…What kind of strange flower is this?” Mostima gently poked the petals of the small flower, and seeing that it immediately began to wriggle and curl up after being poked, she asked, “What is the name of this flower?”

“It doesn’t have a name. You can give it one if you like.” Yarman turned around and began tidying up his cabinet. “This is a product I accidentally made when I was trying to create an immortal life form. I originally hoped it could live forever, but it went astray.”

Gently fiddling with the swaying little flower in front of her, Mostima asked curiously, "Are there immortal creatures in this world?"

“Yes, for example, me.” Yarman turned his head, told a lame joke, and looked at the calm Mostima. He touched his nose a little awkwardly. “There are native species too. They are called the Proof of Immortality. It’s a strange plant that can live forever by eating itself. It’s currently in a valley.”

"As for this flower, it has a similar function." Yarman slowly closed the cabinet door, turned to look at the small red flower that was about to wriggle out of the flowerpot, "but it will only die at the end of its life, that is, it will definitely live for as many years as its lifespan."

"Stop poking it, or it'll jump out of the flowerpot."

"It can even jump out of the flowerpot!"

"It can not only jump out, but it can also escape!"

"Oh~~~ That's amazing, Yarman, you're so incredible." Mostima turned to Yarman and praised him.

“Really?” Yarman nodded, clearly pleased. He sat down and said with a smile, “If you think it’s fun, you can keep it. If you don’t, just leave it. I’ll wait a minute…”

“Then I’ll take it!” Mostima picked up the flowerpot and walked towards the laboratory door. “I’m leaving now. You continue with your experiment.”

“Okay.” Yarman nodded, watching Mostima leave quietly, then locked the laboratory door completely. She couldn’t see the experiments that were about to take place, or rather, no one but him could see them!

It's not that it's particularly mysterious, but rather that if an ordinary person were to see it, it might no longer be ordinary.

Gently taking a square glass box from under the lab bench, Yarman shook it lightly, watching the strange creature suddenly move and crash hard into the glass wall, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not starved to death yet, not bad, tenacious vitality!" Yarman looked at the twisted chunks of flesh writhing around inside, gently opened the glass box, and casually grabbed the chunk of flesh that suddenly jumped out. A transparent yellow spell instantly struck the struggling chunk of flesh, knocking it unconscious.

Holding the piece of meat, Yarman gently pressed a button on the lab bench. Instantly, the lab bench split in two, revealing a huge biological incubator in the center. He casually tossed the piece of meat into it and walked toward a cabinet not far away, chained and etched with magical runes.

After untying the chains on the cabinet, Yarman opened the cabinet door and looked at the enormous space inside, which had been greatly expanded by the Seamless Extension Charm. As if he were choosing condiments in a supermarket, he took out the strange objects placed inside and threw them precisely into the incubator behind him.

After closing the cabinet door, Yarman walked to the incubator. Instead of starting it immediately, he pulled out five enormous tentacles from his body and threw them in as well.

"I wonder if I can successfully create my own Familia."

Chapter 76: Let's discuss how to open a can.

Just as Yarman was waiting for his Familia to be born, two new members appeared in the chat group. Unlike the previous members, these two seemed unusually wary of the chat group, and one of them even harbored unknown malice towards the group members.

Lin Yi: Two people? Two people?

Veronica: The two newcomers are surprisingly shy!

Dumbledore: Nobody wants to come out? Well, not everyone is Yarman.

Yarman: What's wrong with me?

Dumbledore: In our parlance these days, you must be a social butterfly.

Yarman: A social butterfly? I'm clearly a social phobic.

Scranton: It doesn't really matter. If you don't want to come out, then don't. There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you. How are you using the world laws that you obtained from Im?

Yarman: It's very simple. Let the world consciousness compare and use it itself. I'll also create some hybrids to test whether they can adapt to our world's environment.

Yinghuo Immortal Emperor: ...You are extraterrestrial demons?

Lin Yi: The newbie has finally spoken! If you have any questions, please check the group manual. You can sell local specialties in the group shop, and you can also buy local specialties from other group members in other worlds.

Learning literature couldn't save the Great Xia Dynasty: ...

Lin Yi: Newcomers, newcomers, you're here too! What are your names?

Lin Yi: A newcomer, a newcomer?

Lin Yi: Goodness, he ran off without saying a word.

Yarman: Forget it, if you want to talk, you will. If you have doubts about this place, you will never talk. By the way, Lao Lin, how are you now?

Lin Yi: It's nothing special. I just broke through to the Great Perfection of Refining Void not long ago, which is half a step into Body Integration. I'm considered the number one expert in the cultivation world. To be honest, it's too slow to just sit there and cultivate. Luckily, I have a World Rule Modifier. I can practice according to the rules on it, which is much faster!

Tesla: Well, you're better off than me. I'm still revising the rules to create a suitable ecosystem.

Lin Yi: What's so good about it? I just realized that my world is actually crippled. There used to be a Celestial Realm, but now the entire Celestial Realm is gone. It was dug up by someone. With that, most of the origin of my world is gone too. Now, I can only support my cultivation up to the half-step Integration Realm at most. I can't go any higher.

Lin Yi: This is really giving me a headache, I don't know what to do.

Yarman: It's pretty much the same on my end. There's only one stone ball in this world, and everything else is just stickers.

Dumbledore: It's pretty much the same on my end, except that the moon is real, everything else is fake, even the sun. Sigh.

Scranton: I'm doing alright on my end. I'm working on fixing my world, but I've found that the more I fix it, the more off-track it gets. It's getting more and more chaotic now.

Lindal: My situation is similar to Tesla's, except that one of my stone balls is real, but my stone ball is extremely large, ridiculously large, and I don't know why.

Im: Are all the newbies cultivating immortality? All I see they're uploading are cultivation techniques. @All-Knowing Immortal Lin, someone's here to steal your business. Hurry up and go learn some!

Ai Luo: Since the group leader has left, I'll wait a while.

Doctor: You want the group admin to test the poison?

Ai Luo: That's not quite right. It's just that we had a professional take a look.

In a blessed land in the cultivation world, Lin Yi sat on a large rock. Suddenly, three cultivation manuals appeared in front of him. One was a technological cultivation manual, and the other two were unique martial arts manuals for cultivating qi and blood.

After a quick glance, Lin Yi put the two martial arts manuals aside. There was nothing interesting about them; they were just cultivation techniques for qi and blood, the kind used by soldiers in the military. They were crude but quick to learn and very powerful. At most, one could appreciate their underlying principles and glimpse the extraordinary systems of the world.

"It's probably a world of martial arts and qi cultivation, nothing much to see." Lin Yi muttered, tossing the two books aside and picking up the seemingly simple cultivation manual in front of him. "This one is interesting, though. It's actually a technological cultivation technique, the Five Qi Gathering Dark Matter Breathing Technique, wow!"

Upon seeing the name, Lin Yi immediately became interested and began to read it with a smile. However, as he read, the smile disappeared, replaced by a furrowed brow and a solemn expression. Although he was not from that world, he felt that there was something fishy about it!

"You dare to sell tainted martial arts techniques in the group shop? You've got some nerve!" A murderous glint flashed across Lin Yi's face. Don't be fooled by his usual joking around in the group and the constant criticism he gets. It's just because everyone in the group is a friend who's in it together, and a joke doesn't matter. But that doesn't mean he's not ruthless!

To be selected to join the group, the world must first be a pile of shit. Who among those who can crawl out of such a hell on earth isn't a ruthless and vicious character?

"Let me see again! If it's true, you're dead!" Lin Yi said decisively. The group store is the place that tests trust the most. Uploading non-recyclable garbage is fine, but if you upload toxic or harmful garbage, you are destroying the trust of the entire group, which is something Lin Yi cannot tolerate.

Uploading non-recyclable garbage is a matter of ability; uploading toxic or hazardous garbage is a matter of morality!

He felt that the first world war within the group was very likely about to begin!

Turning to the first page, Lin Yi began reading the introduction to the human body. After looking through the entire body, he slowly put the book down and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Now he could confirm that this was indeed toxic and hazardous waste!

"Kid, you're still too young to make counterfeits!"

Lin Yi glanced at the book beside him and sneered. It was obvious that this was another young man who had made a mistake in quality control. He wanted to do bad things but also wanted to be lazy, so he put together the correct introduction to the human body and the wrong cultivation method. Did he really think he couldn't tell the difference? He was joking. He had done this kind of thing many times before!

If you cultivate according to the above method, you may make great progress in strength at the beginning, but this is done by consuming your future potential. After cultivating this thing, you will not make any progress in more than three years. Moreover, your peak period will be fleeting. As soon as you reach the peak, you will start to decline and eventually become a useless person with no cultivation!

Lin Yi casually burned the book to ashes and then logged back into the group.

Lin Yi: I've checked, and it's all true. The Qi and Blood Martial Arts technique is rather crude, suitable for soldiers, and can easily injure the body. As for the Immortal Cultivation Technique, it's too advanced, and I don't recommend it for people without a foundation, as it's easy to ruin the cultivation.
