"Alliance Hierarch, an individual's power is ultimately limited. We can also go out and explore the new world," Far Vision Eagle said. "We're not like Tuohai and his group; we're not afraid of death." "That's right. The more people venture out, the faster we can understand this new world," The Bright Sun said. "We can't let the Alliance Hierarch do everything for us; that would turn us all into useless baggage." "Alliance Hierarch, an excellent leader doesn't have to do everything themselves. Instead, tasks should be delegated to those best suited for them," Tiger that Stabilizes the Mountain said. "Players love adventures. Overcoming various challenging tasks stimulates rapid growth among Players. If you foster our growth, Alliance Hierarch, you won't have to work so hard." "Exactly, Alliance Hierarch! Even for experiments, more samples are needed. We're eager to participate in combat; don't feel you need to spare us..." Wind Rider said. "We can make those Celestials feel the terror of being dominated by Players," Ray Electrical said. No one truly trusts anyone else. This was especially true for the people from the real world, whom Lin Bai had forcibly suppressed. Although Lin Bai had expressed goodwill, it felt more like a sweet date offered after a beating. As White Maple said, Lin Bai was as suspect as the game company. The real world's submission was merely temporary, born from their current inability to deal with Lin Bai. The smarter a person, the more they desire to control their own destiny. Temporary forbearance was also a prelude to future resistance. Playing the game of alliances, setting the tiger to devour the wolf... Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 Lin Bai wasn't the only one who knew these strategies; the Players and the natives were equally adept. Therefore, the Players were desperate to participate in the confrontation between Lin Bai and the Fairy World, hoping to implement their own schemes. Lin Bai couldn't possibly monitor everyone. Throughout history, regimes built on force and violence have always been the most vulnerable and easily overthrown. Lin Bai perfectly embodied all the characteristics of a foolish tyrant: violent, arrogant, shortsighted, and so on. He was even too lazy to manage the power he had acquired. Lin Bai's hands-off approach to ruling, relying purely on brute force, gave every intelligent person unwilling to submit to his rule a glimmer of hope. The Players were the best card they held... Lin Bai was well aware of their thoughts. Looking at the Players volunteering themselves, he said, "Don't be hasty. There will be opportunities. You are a surprise contingent, meant to play a crucial role at a critical moment. It's not appropriate to reveal yourselves now. First, focus on leveling up. Once I have a clear understanding of the situation in the Fairy World, I will assign you tasks." "Alright!" Far Vision Eagle and the others sheepishly departed, moving to a corner to discuss the matter of ascension—this had always been their intention. The Fairy World had nine Heavenly Kings and nine Hives. Therefore, they unanimously believed there was more than one reception point. They believed that perhaps they could bypass Lin Bai's surveillance and enter the Fairy World through ascension. The Spiritual Energy in the Fairy World was countless times denser than in the Mortal World. Moreover, Players faced no bottlenecks in their cultivation. Thus, cultivating in the Fairy World was incredibly fast. Before long, the Players would possess the strength to undergo Tribulation. Cultivate using the Spiritual Energy of the Fairy World, return to the Mortal World to undergo Tribulation, then bypass Lin Bai and re-ascend to the Fairy World... They are indeed a group of clever people. Of course, this method was only usable by Players; after all, their lives weren't considered valuable. They weren't afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation that terrified Cultivators. If they failed to overcome it, the worst that could happen was losing a Level. Most importantly, this method also meant they didn't have to fear Lin Bai's censure. After all, undergoing Tribulation in the Mortal World could easily trigger a Heavenly Tribulation; this was a normal phenomenon... Lin Bai overheard their conversation but paid them no mind. He had no intention of controlling everyone. Maintaining the secrecy of his inability to hear their team channel conversations was more important than preventing their minor schemes. Besides, the Players' exploratory spirit might even prove helpful to some extent. The map of the Fairy World was equally vast, featuring mountains, forests, and rivers, all permeated with dense Spiritual Energy. Due to the Spiritual Energy, the trees in the forests grew exceptionally tall. Qingmu, considered a tall tree in the Lower Realm, was merely an ordinary tree within the forests of the Fairy World. Within the forest, one could occasionally spot birds and beasts. The abundant Spiritual Energy had nourished their physiques, and the Demon Beasts were correspondingly massive. Lin Bai could clearly sense that the Spiritual Energy contained within them was, at minimum, equivalent to the Great Cheng Realm of the Lower Realm; many were even at the Crossing Tribulation Realm. However, observing their behavior, they still acted according to beastly instincts, showing no signs of developed Spirit Intelligence. Seeing these Demon Beasts, Lin Bai roughly understood why Ascenders from the Lower Realm were so little valued. Even if they reached the Crossing Tribulation Realm, they were still too weak here. They might not survive an attack by a group of Demon Beasts. "Haven't the Demon Beasts of the Fairy World awakened their Spirit Intelligence?" Lin Bai asked. "No," White Maple replied. "They are different from the Demon Beasts of the Lower Realm; their Spirit Intelligence has been sealed for some unknown reason. Demon Beasts from the Lower Realm have also ascended, and some Celestials attempted to awaken the Spirit Intelligence of the Fairy World's God Beasts, but none succeeded. Over time, no one bothered to research this anymore." Celestials born from the Hives couldn't awaken the Spirit Intelligence of Demon Beasts... The Fairy World seemed to operate under a different set of laws than the Lower Realm. It wasn't like an upper echelon of the Mortal World; it was more akin to the relationship between a game world and reality. The Celestials couldn't awaken the Demon Beasts' Spirit Intelligence, but his Enlightenment Pills might be able to. Regrettably, the Pet System no longer rewarded such practical Pill Medicine. He might have to grind some Pet System tasks to get more Enlightenment Pills. It would be even better if he could get his hands on the Dan Fang. In that case, he would inadvertently gain a powerful new source of assistance. Lin Bai silently analyzed the situation in the Fairy World. He cast the Spring Breeze Turns Into Rain Technique on the forest below. As the raindrops fell, the trees shot upwards, growing significantly taller. The newly grown trees didn't give birth to any tree spirits like Qing Yun... Lin Bai shook his head and asked, "White Maple, the Demon Beasts and trees here are so massive. Why are Celestials similar in size to people from the Lower Realm? Don't tell me you're invaders too?" "Invaders, my foot! We are native beings! You Ascenders who flew up from the Lower Realm are the invaders," White Maple snorted. "Especially you, appearing out of nowhere! So what if our physiques don't match the Demon Beasts? We possess incomparably immense power, enough to dominate the Fairy World!" Lin Bai smiled and said no more. Baseless speculation was pointless. He didn't expect every world to be like Earth; understanding an unfamiliar world required practical investigation. In fact, it was already quite strange that every world used the Chinese language. Lin Bai's Body of the War God and White Maple's cultivation level were comparable. Even without using Flash, their travel speed was extremely fast. In under half an hour, they flew out of the forest. If they had used Flash, they could have exited in ten minutes at most. It had to be said, the Guiding Pool was truly an overlooked place. It was so close to the outside, yet when White Maple's squad went missing for two days, no Celestial had even thought to look inside. Beyond the forest lay vast expanses of Spiritual Fields. Celestials were in the Spiritual Fields, using Spells to tend to the crops. Looking down, Lin Bai noted that the cultivation of these farmer Celestials was similar to that of White Maple's subordinates. White Maple had said his own cultivation was Bronze. Based on this, if one were to assign a rank to these farmers, it would likely be Lower Bronze. Where there were Spiritual Fields, there were towns. However, there were no roads between the Spiritual Fields and the towns. This was normal. The lowest cultivation level of Celestials was the Crossing Tribulation Realm. Flying was a trivial matter for them; they had no need to walk. The towns lacked walls, somewhat resembling modern cities. Celestials could be seen freely entering and exiting, either flying or riding various Magic Artifacts. In the sky, pairs of patrolling Celestial soldiers could be seen. Their squad composition was similar to White Maple's: a minor leader heading ten ordinary Celestials. White Maple paid no heed to the farmers in the fields, but upon sighting the town, he unconsciously quickened his pace. When they were about fifty-odd li from the town, he suddenly tried to open his mouth, intending to warn the patrolling soldiers within. However, no sound emerged. His expression changed drastically. Lin Bai, in his Body of the War God, smiled faintly. "Silence. I don't want you to speak. No sound whatsoever will come out." White Maple glared angrily at Lin Bai. The next moment, his figure vanished from beside the Body of the War God. Lin Bai's main body, back in the Guiding Pool, had recalled him into the Card. Perhaps the Celestials' features were too distinct, so those entering and exiting the city weren't subjected to identity checks. If that was the case, White Maple was no longer of any use.
