"Hm?"
Su Ye frowned.
In that instant, a strange sensation registered in his spiritual sense, but it vanished in a flash.
WHOOSH.
The clouds in the sky flowed and shifted, swaying with the wind.
It was as if nothing had happened.
And yet, Su Ye’s gaze shifted slightly.
He vaguely felt that the world around him was sohow different.
A sense of discomfort washed over him.
"What happened?"
Su Ye focused his mind, pushing his spiritual sense to its limits to investigate the change.
Finally, after dozens of breaths, he found the answer.
Using his keen spiritual sense to observe, Su Ye was shocked to discover that everything in nature around him, every blade of grass and every tree, was exuding an extrely faint trace of hostility toward him.
Or rather, a sense of rejection!
’The entire world is rejecting ?’
’Is this... because I killed that Warrior?’
’I’m a little surprised. Killing a Foundation Establishnt-level opponent can actually cause this kind of effect?’
’Is this so thod used by Tewa Kan City?’
’Impossible!’
In an instant, Su Ye rejected the idea.
’If Tewa Kan City was capable of this, the war would have been over long ago.’
’They would have unified the entire Northern Territory by now!’
’So... if it wasn’t Tewa Kan City...’
’...then what was it?’
’A god... or this world itself?’
’Is this feeling of rejection because I, an outsider, killed a native resident?!’
A possibility occurred to Su Ye.
Just then, a feeling prompted him to summon his status panel.
He saw that at the very bottom of his personal panel, two new entries had appeared.
[World Rejection Level: 0.1%]
[Estimated Decay Ti: 12 hours]
’World Rejection Level? So that’s the reason?!’
’Hmm... If this progress bar fills up... I’m guessing sothing very bad will happen...’
Su Ye muttered to himself, his expression changing slightly.
After all, a re 0.1% World Rejection Level was enough for him to faintly sense a trace of hostility from this world.
’If it were to reach 100%... or even just forty or fifty percent...’
’Would I be plagued by deadly misfortune?’
’Sothing out of *Final Destination*?’
’I’d rather not experience that feeling...’
’So, if I want to operate in the Far South Continent long-term, I need to keep the World Rejection Level as low as possible... or at least prevent it from skyrocketing!’
Su Ye ca to a conclusion.
As for how to lower it...
He pondered for a mont and ca up with a few ideas.
’The simplest thod is to leave the Far South Continent and return to the Yaoguang Islands.’
Su Ye was certain that as long as he returned to the Yaoguang Islands, the rejection level from the Far South Continent would definitely be cleared.
’After all... can the rules of the Far South Continent even apply in the Yaoguang Islands?’
’Like they have cross-regional jurisdiction or sothing?’
’That’s my final escape route.’
’Also, I should try to control the number of kills. Kill less, and be careful about who I kill.’
’At the very least, I need to screen my targets...’
It was only after he killed the second-rank Warrior nad Vesar that his World Rejection Level had increased.
But killing the first-rank ones before had no effect on him.
’Does this an that killing targets with a certain level of strength and status will increase my World Rejection Level?’
’That seems reasonable.’ Su Ye nodded.
’From the world’s perspective, outstanding individuals are premium resources that drive its evolution.’
’Internal changes leading to their death might not matter, but for them to be cut down prematurely by an external force... even if the world itself has no self-awareness, this kind of act would inevitably trigger hostility on a subconscious level!’
’So the Far South Continent’s alert threshold is around the second rank?’
’I can’t just kill those at this level and above indiscriminately. I need to consider the target’s value...’
’If that’s the case, it’s not so bad. I can just spend so ti waiting for the World Rejection Level to fade... wait a minute, isn’t this just like waiting for your wanted level to go down in a video ga?’
At this thought, Su Ye couldn’t help but chuckle.
He continued to ponder.
’Besides that, I could also cultivate so natives of the Far South Continent as subordinates to work for .’
’Of course, developing the Far South Continent and making the rules of the Immortal Dao replace the local rules is another thod... the most fundantal one.’
’If the rules of the Immortal Dao could overwrite the rules of the Far South Continent, unifying the two realms so there’s no distinction between them, then I could probably kill as I please...’
’However, the ti required to achieve that would likely be asured in centuries.’
’In the short term, I can’t count on that...’
...
He adjusted his operational strategy.
Then, Su Ye began to read Vesar’s mories.
A second-rank warrior-captain of Tewa Kan City.
His social status wasn’t low.
A target like him should know much more.
With a slight stir of his Magical Power, Su Ye levitated Vesar’s head and gripped it with his five fingers.
BUZZ!
A silver light flickered in his eyes.
The power of his Divine Sense surged out, forcibly reading the mories in the man’s brain—since the target had died only a short ti ago, he could still provide Su Ye with plenty of mories!
First was the war situation.
"Tsk, tsk... The tide has already turned..." Su Ye remarked with a sigh.
Aino City’s forces were collapsing like a landslide. They had already lost nearly ninety percent of their territory and could now barely control a small area around the city-state.
And compared to Muer’s hearsay, Vesar’s mories provided a strategic map, allowing Su Ye to get a more direct sense of the battle situation.
What’s more, there was also internal military intelligence!
A gleam appeared in Su Ye’s eyes.
’Tewa Kan City is preparing to encircle Aino City in two months... They expect to conquer the city-state within half a year.’
’Prince Tewa Kan, a third-rank existence, will personally lead the army and oversee the siege... And after the battle, they will use a grand blood sacrifice ceremony to completely annihilate Aino City...’
This was good news for Su Ye.
Aino City was facing a crisis of survival, so all of its hidden reserves would surely be deployed—the reserves of the Goddess of Fertility!
At the sa ti, Tewa Kan City had a Prince—a scion of the Eternal Hunting God!
"Gods... Let see your great power."
A hint of anticipation flickered in Su Ye’s eyes.
Then, following the map provided by Vesar, he chose a safer route and had Muer drive the cart toward Aino City.
"Let’s go!"
...
「At the sa ti.」
In a heavily guarded military camp, packed with armored soldiers, its tents stretching for several miles.
At its center stood a large, luxurious, and stately tent adorned with golden tassels.
Inside the tent, a man with sharp, chiseled features wearing a golden crown was praying in a low voice before a divine statue.
Just then, a ray of light appeared above the divine statue.
The light was brilliant gold and sacred, filled with a holy aura. But then, within the golden light, crimson and even pitch-black colors erged!
When the spiritual light stabilized, one could see that only a faint tenth of the light remained golden, while crimson and black now made up a full ninety percent of the radiance!
Sacred majesty and bloody corruption.
Two completely opposite feelings spread throughout the tent!
The golden-crowned man was startled by the sight and imdiately prostrated himself.
"Great Eternal Hunting God, your scion devoutly awaits your decree."
Obscure, deep divine words slowly sounded out.
"An outsider... not of the Divine Continent..."
"Find him. Kill him! Tear him to pieces! Sacrifice him to !"
"He is in the territory of Aino City!"
