“Huh, this thod… seems pretty good!”
Little Mouse = Myriad Transformations!
The Faceless Brotherhood can also achieve myriad transformations through Face Peeling!
Rounding up, Little Mouse = Faceless Brotherhood?
“Pah, pah, pah, I’m not the sa as that bunch of lunatics. If I have to be compared to soone, it should be the Great Desire King, one of the incarnations of the Faceless God!”
Thinking of that crazy White Porcelain Mask Woman, Little Mouse couldn't help but shudder with a chill and Strongly Reject the idea.
If it slaughtered them, not only would it be ridding the world of a nace, but Little Mouse could also harvest materials!
Besides, the bounty on each of them was very high. It could buy lots and lots of Potato Chips!
“What’s wrong?” Lu Yu, who was checking Little Spider’s body and recording data, heard Little Mouse muttering to itself and asked casually.
“Cultivator, Little Mouse has thought of a shortcut to get strong quickly! First, we do this, and then we do that…”
Then, Lu Yu heard its grand plan!
In short, it was…
Start by joining the Faceless Brotherhood, use Little Mouse's excellent wisdom (counted together with Lu Yu's) to infiltrate the higher ranks, keep fleecing them for benefits, and finally, when strong enough…
It would be, "How can a true man languish long under others?"
And in the end,
He can be replaced!
After hearing it, Lu Yu was also stunned. When did this Lewd Hamster get so bold?
Could it be that after seeing Little Spider's enhancent, it had tamorphosed into the Mouse of Envy?
Wasn't it close to collecting all of the Seven Deadly Sins?
Little Mouse looked at Lu Yu with an expectant face.
"Cultivator, what do you think?"
Lu Yu answered decisively, "I don't think it's good at all!"
The cold words were like an arrow, piercing straight into Little Mouse's heart and instantly petrifying it.
The heaven-shattering sche it had worked so hard to co up with was casually dismissed just like that!
It turned its body away, leaving only a round and desolate back view.
Two Little Little Mouse souls floated out from behind it, each holding a small bag of Potato Chips, and then began to play the "Snowflakes Drifting" bgm!
"I knew it. Brother Xiu Ren only likes gentle and lovely pet beasts like Sister Spider.
Even Eggy, who just eats and sleeps all day, gets all sorts of little gifts (Dragon Horns, dragon scales, dragon blood), but Little Mouse hasn't received a gift in a long ti. It seems, for the most part, that Cultivator has grown tired of …"
Before it could finish, its mouth was pinched shut by Lu Yu, interrupting its spellcasting.
It could only wave its little paws nonstop.
He glanced at this silly hamster and asked a key question:
"I have a question.
How would you even achieve your first step, joining the Faceless Brotherhood?"
"Of course, it's…"
Just as Little Mouse was about to answer, it suddenly froze and then realized. The most terrifying thing about the Faceless Brotherhood was their ability to transform, to replace everything, to Usurp Causality!
The identities beneath their masks were incredibly mysterious.
They could be dazzling Star Beast Tars admired by all, beggars on the roadside, tired housewives, or even other intelligent races…
They could even replace your friends and family, live with you day and night, use secret arts to conceive and give birth, and grow old together.
But when they put on their masks, they beca the most infamous Evil God Cult!
And unlike other Evil God Cults that destroyed with a purpose, they did it purely for amusent!
A cri without a motive is the hardest to trace!
Plus, they would disappear instantly after every incident, leaving no chance for communication!
Therefore, even the Human Alliance, with its many powerhouses, had a huge headache over them!
They couldn't even be found, let alone joined!
As for the White Porcelain Mask Woman Lu Yu had encountered before, she had been active in the Borderlands recently, so the probability of seeing her was high!
But… that was soone who could escape from Sikong, a Peak Luminous Moon Beast Tar.
She was at least a powerhouse of the sa rank!
They had just encountered a Luminous Moon-rank Monarch Creature—the Void-Chirping Hundred-Eyed Cicada—and had only managed to snatch food from the tiger's mouth by relying on nurous trump cards, getting a taste of monarch-rank power!
To actively seek her out, what was the difference between that and serving oneself up on a platter?
Especially with a lunatic like her, who might just crush him for fun, not giving him a single chance to execute any plans!
That would be an incredibly frustrating way to die!
"Then let's just forget it!"
Little Mouse looked disappointed. Its entrepreneurial project of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs had gone bankrupt before it even started because it couldn't find a way in!
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and snarked:
"Why forget it? Have you forgotten what my alternate identity is?"
"How could I forget? Your alternate identities are Collector, Prival Shadow, The Disciple… wait, The Disciple!"
Little Mouse counted on its paws, then froze as it realized.
It then heard Lu Yu say playfully:
"So, why should I be the one looking for them? It should be the Faceless Brotherhood who cos to invite , begging to join!"
【The Disciple】 had orchestrated the Mystic Realm of Decay incident that caused a sensation in the Alliance, had a pure-blood dragon in the palm of his hand, and his morally ambiguous, pleasure-seeking style had nearly made the Alliance mistake him for a mber of the Faceless Brotherhood!
Although they didn't rashly identify him as such in the end, he was still marked as a dangerous individual!
The sudden appearance of a guy with a highly similar style would inevitably arouse the curiosity of the God's Fingers!
They, who sought amusent, wouldn't feel offended; instead, they would find it very interesting.
As long as The Disciple's alternate identity beca active again, they would most likely choose to initiate contact, or even recruit him!
The most important point was that people are perverse!
Actively approaching them would easily arouse suspicion about his motives, but being begged to join would dispel their doubts and make it easier to get close to the core of the Faceless Brotherhood!
For the Faceless Brotherhood to have been active for so long under the watch of The Kings of the Supre Council, they most likely possessed a Divine Object granted by the Faceless God!
If he could get his hands on it…
Then Little Mouse's future evolution route would have a direction!
And what concerned Lu Yu even more was the Nation-Annihilating Grand Play orchestrated by a Reveler—the 【Elegy of the Hanged King】—which, at the cost of millions of lives, gave birth to a mask and nine Eggs of Causality.
One of those Eggs of Causality was in his hands, but because the Stitched Demon Leader tried to usurp him, a portion of its origin was wasted, leaving only the ability to spy on the causality of living beings.
Making a Skill Secret Food directly would be too wasteful!
If he could get all of them, he might be able to create a legendary-grade Causality Law Skill, or make a special Evolution Secret Food to unlock Causality Evolution!
"Cultivator! You're so smart!"
Little Mouse bead with joy and went back to watching TV, already starting to fantasize about what a badass form it would have in the future!
Ideally, it could replace the Faceless God and beco the Faceless Little Mouse God!
And establish the Faceless Hamster Cult!
"This fellow is as easy to coax as ever!"
Compared to Little Mouse's excitent, Lu Yu just shook his head, his gaze profound.
In truth, there were so things he hadn't said.
He had now experienced many major events and discovered that whether it was the Cult of Dusk trying to break a seal in the Abandoned Urban Area, the thousand-year wait in the Dragon Mystic Realm, the premature arrival of The Proliferating Green Dragon, and so on…
Even the mission that led to his parents' deaths was not over yet, tying up many elites, including the president of the Great Abyss City Alliance!
All of this was related to the great battle of the past between the Red Dragon Tribe and the Incarnation of the Mother of Dusk!
It was as if an Invisible Giant Hand was manipulating everything, setting these events in motion, turning them into a rumbling forward-rolling carriage, heading towards its final destination!
Faced with this rumbling torrent, Lu Yu only felt a deep sense of powerlessness and crisis!
He hadn't been suspicious before, but seeing the Stitched Demon Leader join the Faceless Brotherhood, and the Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud's Soul Transformation and Concealnt abilities, made him feel that the Faceless Brotherhood played a very important role in all of this!
Perhaps even one of the masterminds behind the scenes!
The reason he said this, was because Lu Yu knew from Fan Lü that this involved the ultimate secret beneath the land of the Borderlands, sothing that even ancient Evil Gods coveted!
As those who loved pleasure the most, they most likely wouldn't miss this grand show!
And the Mother of Dusk, who retreated a thousand years ago, had she really given up?
All of this involved Old Great Abyss City, now the Abandoned Urban Area, the dual sealing ground for the Evil God servitors and the remains of the Evil God incarnation, which was adjacent to his own Great Abyss City.
Unless he chose to give up the Evil God-level material, give up his house, give up the place he grew up in, and flee to other great domains, then perhaps he could escape this calamity!
But…
Are the other great domains really safe?
The Order of Decay that betrayed humanity, the ferocious pirates plundering rchant ships on the vast seas, the nurous Evil God cults attempting to stir up sacrifices, the constantly reviving ancient existences, and the chain reaction that might be triggered if the Borderlands were to shatter…
Even the Small World had been contaminated by a mysterious Evil God and could face the Final Harvest Feast at any ti!
"Run, but for how long can I run!"
He turned his head and looked through the glass at the azure sky. It was a clear and boundless sky, but in his eyes, it was incredibly bleak!
The Mortal World is the playground of The Great Ones!
And mortals are just consumables!
Even Lu Yu, who possessed a Taboo Rank and taboo power, had to keep a low profile before he was strong enough, climbing step by step.
To go above the Myriad Stars, and stand side by side with Them!
To completely control his own fate!
"I still have to get stronger!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yu prepared to customize his next training plan, ready to increase his strength and explore the Abandoned Urban Area again.
He needed to advance to Spirituality Transformation as soon as possible, perform the ritual in the Mother River, and step into the Morning Star Rank.
That would grant him a certain status, but he still wouldn't be considered an important figure.
After all, most of the powerhouses in the Borderlands were on the battlefield, fighting against various demonic beast races, forging a stairway to becoming a Supre Expert with blood and fire, and tempering their spirituality!
Ding!
Just as Lu Yu was thinking, his phone suddenly chid with a notification.
Because he had gone viral before, many people had gotten his contact information, so Lu Yu had set up a whitelist.
Only ssages from people he was close to would trigger a notification sound.
'Could it be that the President has another problem with the Tyrant of the Dead Eye evolution route?'
A thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind. After all, the only people he had been in close contact with recently were the president and her family, especially Lilith.
They had been chatting heatedly for almost thirty days!
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were having a passionate affair!
Lu Yu opened his phone and saw that it wasn't Chiyue ng, but the Principal.
【Principal: Lu Yu, are you free recently?】
【Dusk Crow: I'm alright, just the usual pet beast training.
Principal, does the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird miss ?】
In the manor, Luo Zisong sat on a chair. In front of him was a tea table carved from Thousand-Faced Red-Flowered Sandalwood, and beside him lay the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird with a lazy expression.
At this mont, because he hadn't seen his annoying granddaughter for a long ti, his mood was exceptionally pleasant. So he had specially brewed a pot of his long-treasured, top-grade Maojian tea from the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Mountain, its fragrance faint and serene.
Pfft!
He lifted his teacup and took a sip. Before he could savor it, he saw Lu Yu's reply and couldn't help but spit it out, spraying it right onto the face of the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird, which had leaned its head over, soaking its straw-like head.
"Gugu?"
The latter showed a look of disgust, giving off the vibe of a middle-aged wife being unhappily splattered with saliva by her husband after the deed!
"Sorry, sorry!"
Luo Zisong apologized profusely. Staring at his phone screen, he was montarily at a loss for words.
Why does this guy keep staring at my bird!
Could it be that he really has a wolf's ambition?
Indeed, the "Lu and Bird Shall Not et" policy was the right one!
In fact, Luo Zisong had truly misunderstood Lu Yu.
After all, they didn't have much contact.
Because Lu Yu was now the person in charge of the Peach Pig Project, he had sothing like half a tenured teacher position, so he didn't need to attend classes. Participating in the school's battles would be bullying, so he just needed to prepare for the College Entrance Exam.
So when the principal took the initiative to contact him, Lu Yu's first reaction was that it was to help take care of the long-depressed Five-Bone Bountiful Bird.
Especially as his strength increased, he could also try using the Eye of Truth to see if he could find a Secret Ritual to reverse the Bountiful and Decay attributes, which would also be a way to repay the Principal's care all this ti.
Great Benefactor Lu was famous for repaying kindness!
However, Luo Zisong was flustered. Looking at the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird, which was curious about what happened, he quickly typed to change the subject, saying:
"Your 'Sow Postpartum Care Manual' has passed the school's review, and the project has been unanimously approved.
Because you completed it alone, after internal discussion, the school has decided to increase your share of the subsequent profits from two-tenths to four-tenths.
However, based on the growth cycle of the Peach Pigs, even with the fodder you've prepared, the earliest revenue will be in a year, and it will take 3-5 years to establish a complete supply system.
Then you can just lie back and collect money.
It's like planting a money tree for the school, which can be used to purchase more basic equipnt in the future.
On behalf of all the teachers and students, I thank you!"
"No, I should be the one thanking you and the school for giving this opportunity!"
Lu Yu expressed his sincere gratitude. A flowery sedan needs many to lift it.
This wasn't a principal, this was clearly a money-giving… old man!
It perfectly solved his urgent wallet crisis!
Actually, because too many things had happened recently, and with Little Spider's strength increasing, its appetite had also beco pickier. The dream quality of the piggies was too low and no longer useful, so Lu Yu had almost forgotten about this matter.
He hadn't expected the sow postpartum care manual he submitted earlier to have already passed its review.
Lu Yu was very satisfied with this.
After all, the school bore the costs, so he was considered to have made a technology investnt, and he didn't need to do the work himself anymore. A four-tenths share was the limit.
Any more, and the school would be losing money!
And no one would put their heart into an unprofitable business!
As for the extra share, he knew it was the school seeing his potential and making an additional investnt. Even after he graduated, with this connection of interests, they would maintain an incense-fire bond.
Lu Yu wasn't opposed to this. After all, they weren't his parents, just strangers.
Why would they help you for no reason?
It's all because they see your value!
Sotis, even one's own parents won't like the unpromising child…
Relationships are a two-way street; they only last when there's give and take!
And although more than half a year had passed since his Awakening, Lu Yu had really only been busy with the Peach Pig Project for three months.
When it started making a profit later, he could probably get seven or eight million a year.
If he used the Eye of Truth to formulate so higher-quality fodder and create a better ecosystem, he could easily make over ten million a year!
Actually, there was also the subsequent developnt of the Dragon Mystic Realm, but it was temporarily shelved because the remains of the Mother of Dusk's incarnation hadn't been found yet!
However, because this money was for the future, he would still be favored by the God of Poverty for a while.
As Lu Yu was rejoicing, another ssage ca from Luo Zisong.
【Principal: By the way, you probably haven't advanced to Gold Rank yet, have you? The Borderlands Top-tier Genius Assessnt is going to be held in Great Abyss City soon. It's related to the allocation quota for the top-tier resources of a Beast Taming Holy Land in the Borderlands, which can enhance a pet beast's potential and increase the success rate of advancing to Morning Star.
Therefore, among the Morning Star-rank Borderlands geniuses, except for those nine prodigies who are too busy to co, the rest of the super geniuses will be there. I've already signed you up as one of the examiners.
You have to bring glory to our Great Abyss City High School and take that quota!】
Top-tier resources!
Lu Yu was instantly interested. After careful consideration, he decided to announce that he had already advanced to Gold Rank.
Hiding one's strength ant hiding one's true combat power!
There was no point in constantly hiding one's rank. Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger couldn't an really becoming a pig.
Appropriately displaying his talent could increase the Alliance's attention on him and get him more resources.
【Dusk Crow: I advanced to Gold Rank this morning (smile.
jpg).】
Pfft!
Luo Zisong poured himself a new cup of tea.
Just as he was about to drink it, he sprayed it all over his old partner's face again.
"Guu…"
The latter was now suspecting if this was Luo Zisong's malicious retaliation, its gaze gradually becoming dangerous.
"I really didn't an it!"
Luo Zisong quickly explained, and seeing the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird condensing a large number of bone darts around its body, he quickly showed it his phone screen to share the news.
"Gugugu?"
The Five-Bone Bountiful Bird was still a little angry, but after seeing the screen, having learned human knowledge, it quickly understood the content.
A look of shock, just like Luo Zisong's, appeared on its hideous and terrifying face.
Little fellow Lu Yu had actually advanced to Gold Rank?
Wasn't he just Silver Rank not long ago?
Isn't this progress a bit too fast?
"So you see, I didn't do it on purpose either.
This kid just gives too many shocks!" Luo Zisong said helplessly, finding it sowhat unbelievable.
He had seen many geniuses in his life, but one who rose like a rocket like Lu Yu was truly rare.
He had thought Lu Yu would be stuck at the bottleneck for a few months, but he had advanced after just a few days of not seeing him, and judging by the reply, his ntal state was also very stable!
In over half a year, he had made a triple jump, going directly from a novice Beast Tar to a Gold Rank Beast Tar.
He could also achieve a fast promotion speed by using money power to buy a large number of treasures and forcibly accumulate spiritual energy for soone!
But being unable to control it would only lead to Aberration!
Only a strong will could control this explosive increase in spiritual power!
If he knew that Lu Yu's total promotion ti was only a few months, he would probably be so scared he'd fall to the ground!
'Is going crazy really that badass? Should I try it too? Maybe I can break through to Luminous Moon…'
Luo Zisong was also a bit tempted to learn from Lu Yu, but in the end, he gave up.
It would be troubleso if he lost control.
He would be killed!
Especially his few old comrades-in-arms, they would definitely thrash him.
Dying was a small matter, but losing face is a big deal!
Soon, he adjusted his mood.
After all, a fast promotion speed before Morning Star Rank didn't an his future achievents would be high.
Even his comprehensive combat power might not necessarily surpass those top-tier prodigies who had fought their way out of the battlefield's at grinder!
Each of their Spiritual Puzzles was incredibly powerful, and many had already nurtured a Law Seed, possessing a deep foundation.
Therefore, their sights had long since leaped beyond their peers, striving towards becoming an Undying Magnate!
"But Lu Yu ca from an ordinary background.
To be able to do this is already very good. It's just that he's too impatient.
I was prepared to help him find a Ritual Master to help construct his Spiritual Puzzle, but it's too late to say anything now.
I hope the Spiritual Puzzle he built himself is stable enough.
While he's still young, he can still perfect it bit by bit. He might not be without a chance to surpass them.
That lass Qingyue has potential too…"
Luo Zisong murmured softly, placing high hopes on his granddaughter as well. Once her History-type Ancient Bookworm finished its evolution this ti, she could also challenge the level of the prodigies!
The thought of summoning the power of history was exciting!
It would be best if she could summon a peerless beauty who had passed away in history.
It wasn't about being lecherous, but mainly about broadening his horizons, ahem…
"Gugu!"
Hearing this, the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird nodded happily, happy for Lu Yu. It indicated that there was no use in Luo Zisong hiding the money in his private stash, so he might as well take it out to support his junior.
As for himself, he could just be a bit more frugal!
“…”
After hearing this, Luo Zisong's eyes went wide as copper bells, shooting lightning-like dumbfoundedness!
Are you kidding ? You're my pet beast, how can you start helping outsiders get my money?
"Damn it!"
Luo Zisong was thoroughly enraged. This ti, the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird had crossed the line.
So he chose to… lower his bottom line again!
It was his own bird; he had to spoil it even with tears in his eyes!
"The project has already been given money. Giving him anything else will only corrupt his will.
Young people need to be properly tempered!"
Luo Zisong retorted righteously, ignoring the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird's disdainful gaze, and realized a serious problem.
Before, Lu Yu's comprehensive combat power could already contend with Spirituality Transformation.
Now that he had advanced to Gold, although he couldn't fight a Morning Star, an ordinary Spirituality Transformation was no longer his opponent?
If he went for an instant kill on everyone, wouldn't it cause the ntality of this group of geniuses to collapse?
Maybe two of them would undergo Aberration on the spot!
Wouldn't that be indirectly weakening the strength of the Human Race?
At that ti, not only would he offend a large number of families, but the Alliance would also have a problem with him!
But if he didn't go, it would be a pity to miss out on such top-tier resources…
"This is a bit troubleso… Wait, I've thought of a way!"
Luo Zisong slamd his hand on the table and stood up. He had suddenly thought of an excellent plan that could not only allocate the most resources but also make Great Abyss City High School's fa skyrocket, shaking the entire Borderlands!
On the other side, Lu Yu received a ssage from the principal.
【Principal: How about you don't participate in the examinee league this ti?】
After reading it, Lu Yu was a little confused. Was it that Gold Rank Beast Tars were not allowed to participate?
Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't regret saying it.
It was better than being found out during a battle.
After all, 【Fate's Protection】 could only conceal his aura; so traces would still be exposed in a battle.
In that case, he would spend the next few days training in the Nightmare Dream Prison.
【Dusk Crow: Then forget it, thank you, Principal!】
【Principal: What do you an, forget it? You're the face of our Great Abyss City First High School! What I an is, with your current strength, being an examinee is indeed a bit over the standard, but…】
The principal paused for a mont, then sent a ssage.
【Principal: Are you interested in being an examiner?】
A big 6,300-word chapter, beginning the conclusion of Volu One. A new story arc is about to start.
