Chapter 748 - 748: Historical Experiment, Infiltrator from the Past_1
"All parameters are normal. The countdown to the restart of the Chaotic God World has been established," Hu Da finally stated after meticulously comparing the data."Next, prepare to execute the historical experiment! Everyone, get ready to eliminate the historical infiltrators at the first opportunity!"
Hu Da received a new task from the civilization's computer.
He didn't know what a historical experiment was, but he did understand historical infiltrators.
During a historical experiment, the pressure created by overlapping histories would cause certain individuals or objects to seep from the past into the present.
However, these were not actual historical figures but rather historical reflections. Yet, they possessed the original personalities of these historical figures, which would inevitably cause considerable chaos.
If not eliminated immediately, historical loopholes could form, eventually affecting the entire timeline.
Historical reflections, too, could impact history.
Their deaths didn't matter much; after all, they weren't real people. At most, their original counterparts in history would dream of or vicariously experience the process of being killed, gradually forgetting it afterward.
However, their appearance always left traces, which could, in turn, affect some attitudes of the original figures these reflections represented, subsequently triggering a butterfly effect.
The impact wouldn't be too significant, though. With the Six Paths of Reincarnation serving as historical anchors, the ultimate outcome for the Chaotic God World was already completely constrained; its fate was sealed, leaving no possibility for resistance.
Their actions were solely to prevent historical loopholes from appearing, which might affect Wang Linchi's experiment.
"Prepare! The historical experiment is about to begin!!!" Hu Da roared.
The next instant, the entire world experienced violent fluctuations, as if a thin layer of mist had been spread over it, and a sense of overlapping slowly began to take hold.
The images formed by this overlap were extremely blurry, but one could vaguely discern some reflections—reflections of past history.
"Excuse me, where is this...?"
A confused voice emerged, but before its owner could finish speaking, they were brutally attacked.
A Merit Giant, without hesitation, obliterated the speaker with a beam of light formed from merit, leaving not a single trace behind.
"A God King Realm entity? Such a powerful one right at the start?" Hu Da's expression turned grim. Historical infiltrators are indeed special; their power levels fluctuate wildly.
However, one thing was certain: those who could infiltrate were all renowned figures from history.
It was just unclear at what stage of their lives these prominent figures would appear as infiltrators.
"HAHAHA, I'm out! You think you're worthy... Wait a minute, where is this place?" an arrogant voice boomed as a gigantic beast spanning hundreds of miles emerged. However, it was instantly dumbfounded upon arrival, completely unaware of its surroundings.
"This, of course, is your burial ground!" Bai Xuan let out a maniacal laugh, countless Heroic Spirits materializing behind him.
"DESTROY IT! ANNIHILATE IT!!!"
The Spirit of Hero Shadow solidified, and despite its enormous size, the massive beast was instantly reduced to a colossal heap of mangled flesh.
"Boring, so boring." Bai Xuan's expression darkened at the sight. Such a large creature, yet so fragile.
He quickly turned his attention to other historical infiltrators. His Heroic Spirits continuously shifted between ethereal and corporeal forms, each transformation felling another infiltrator.
"Aren't you going to make a move?" Yan Ming King asked Ye Tian, who was standing to the side.
Ye Tian's expression was cold, his aura ethereal and elusive. Half of his body appeared translucent; upon closer inspection, he didn't seem entirely human.
"It's not wise for me to act," Ye Tian replied indifferently. He was in a semi-Daoized state. Although he had been pulled back, he had once been the world's will, and as a result, his personality and emotions had undergone significant alteration.
Thus, Ye Tian was effectively in a composite state, embodying both the Sky God and the Heavenly Dao. He was exceedingly powerful, with only Yan Ming King and Bai Xuan on the same level.
Yan Ming King possessed the Shadow of the Great Ruins, while Bai Xuan wielded the power of Heroic Spirits; the three were the most formidable entities from three distinct worlds.
However, due to his Heroic Spirits, Bai Xuan was adept not only at single combat but also at large-scale warfare.
Ye Tian, however, was different. His every move carried immense power. Notably, his abilities could gradually strengthen in tandem with Wang Linchi's own improvement. After all, both the Sky God and the Heavenly Dao aspects relied on the world. As one of the Fated, the extent of Ye Tian's strength was naturally determined by the power of Wang Linchi's world.
Therefore, if Ye Tian were to truly act, he would not only easily impact the Chaotic God World but could also corrupt the experimental data.
Yan Ming King was in a similar position, though he could control his power with more finesse. Coupled with his Shadow of the Great Ruins ability, which specialized in world-level effects, the two of them were there as a final safeguard against any unexpected incidents, not as active combatants.
"Have you discerned anything?" Yan Ming King asked again. He gazed at the muddled historical projections but didn't have many thoughts, primarily because he couldn't understand them.
This involves too many areas beyond my knowledge. Besides, my power system isn't compatible. I use the Soul Series System, where strength is derived from Soul Kind, Soul Resemblance, Soul Law, and Soul Device. The Shadow of the Great Ruins is just a power derived from a combination of these four.
"A little. It's roughly..." Ye Tian didn't hide anything, recounting his observations in a very mechanical tone.
After listening, Yan Ming King felt even more bewildered; the insights he gained were very limited.
Ye Tian was once the Heavenly Dao, so he's naturally more adept at this.
"Alright, alright, I get it! You've made some discoveries," Yan Ming King hurriedly interjected, stopping Ye Tian.
Perhaps because it concerned Wang Linchi's experimental data, Ye Tian's explanation, combined with his unique nature, began to create a peculiar distortion in their surroundings.
It even started to draw forth an indescribable contamination originating from Wang Linchi.
"This knowledge is actually toxic..." Yan Ming King exclaimed inwardly.
Once Ye Tian stopped speaking, the distortion and contamination quickly dissipated. Yan Ming King wiped the sweat from his brow, muttering, "Damn..."
I really underestimated Ye Tian. I never imagined he could be this... intense.
"It's not that the knowledge is toxic," Ye Tian corrected, "but that you are unable to bear it."
"It's practically the same thing! If anyone else had heard what you just said, they'd probably have gone mad on the spot," Yan Ming King retorted.
"No," Ye Tian stated seriously. "Only those not of the Family would."
Yan Ming King had no desire to continue this line of conversation with Ye Tian. Without the Fate Devil God by his side, Ye Tian was incredibly dull.
The Fate Devil God was Ye Tian's anchor to his humanity. Without the Fate Devil God present, Ye Tian was merely this cold, mechanical being.
But if the Fate Devil God were around, Ye Tian would revert to a normal human personality, and they would actually be able to hold a conversation.
"Speaking of which, where is the Fate Devil God? Why haven't I seen him?" Yan Ming King asked.
Most of the time, the two were inseparable—though it was true that only without the Fate Devil God could Ye Tian fully unleash his power.
"He went to assist with optimizing the Virtue Career System. He won't be free for some time," Ye Tian said.
The Fate Devil God was, arguably, semi-proficient in that area, so Wang Linchi had conscripted him for the task.
Normally, Ye Tian would work alongside him. He, too, was semi-proficient, and when they collaborated, their combined expertise was formidable.
If the historical experiment hadn't required such significant power as a failsafe, Ye Tian would currently be inside Wang Linchi, optimizing the Virtue Career System with the Fate Devil God.
"No wonder!" Yan Ming King exclaimed in realization. "I was wondering why you two didn't show up together. So, it's because *you* were conscripted for this!"
He certainly didn't know what the other protagonists were up to. Everyone had their own lives. If their paths crossed significantly, they might gather; if not, there was naturally no further interaction. They wouldn't deliberately interfere in each other's lives or pry into their affairs.
What's there to pry about anyway? If you want to know something, just ask directly. As long as it doesn't involve certain private matters—like the color of one's underwear today—they'd answer. You could even request to share their abilities, though not everything is shareable, of course. Abilities like Yan Ming King's Shadow of the Great Ruins or Bai Xuan's Endless War God, for instance, couldn't be shared due to their inherent uniqueness. The same applied to Ye Tian's Sky God and Heavenly Dao abilities. Truth be told, no one really coveted them anyway. As powerful as these abilities were, they all came with significant drawbacks. The Endless War God ability led to a split personality; the Sky God and Heavenly Dao abilities would cause one to become an emotionless, Daoized entity; and the Shadow of the Great Ruins necessitated confronting the Great Ruins directly—and where could one even find the Great Ruins these days?
