"Aren’t you still single? I think you’re quite nice. How about I see if any daughters are willing to marry you? Also, so of my friends are very worried about their daughters’ futures. I’ll go ask them, should be able to gather a few dozen for you. Don’t think it’s too few, just take your pick when the ti cos." The lieutenant calmly said, words that Xue Dili found terrifying.
Xue Dili: "..."
Forget it, your world is too scary, I really can’t keep up with the conversation. And with dozens of this and that, Xue Dili felt his head starting to swell. He quickly said, "Forget it, I want to be a partner of justice, love is such a nuisance."
The lieutenant imdiately gave Xue Dili a ’seeing a ghost’ expression. In their world’s values, n are naturally supposed to carry the heavy burden of reproduction, so their world places a lot of importance on this. If a man has too few children, he would be criticized, let alone soone like Xue Dili.
In their world, it’s considered a heinous cri, where one would be jailed and forcibly bred 100 children before being released—a heavy criminal indeed.
In short, the lieutenant talked beside him for a long ti, but Xue Dili didn’t listen to a word. Instead, he found it unbearable.
Their world is truly terrifying, such freakish culture and civilization born from extre gender ratios made Xue Dili, a liberalist, feel fear.
The lieutenant was also patiently advising him, with the personal view that a man who leaves no descendants before venturing out is committing a grave cri. If he died outside, leaving no children, it would be a betrayal of ancestors.
Xue Dili finally understood why his boss wouldn’t allow him to discuss such matters within the Interstellar Corps. It was simply torture for everyone.
In short, amidst their bickering, they stepped into the coordinates of the Heart Stealer.
Although the two were carelessly discussing marriage and being single, they were actually prepared, even having an ergency contact device ready at any mont.
The plan was that if they entered the Heart Stealer’s world, they would investigate as quickly as possible while avoiding being controlled by the Heart Stealer. But if they ca before the Apostle, they would imdiately use the ergency contact, and Xue Dili would use Divine Tree to buy ti while the lieutenant would directly teleport until support arrived.
However, the mont they entered this world, the two who had been quarreling instantly tensed up, but the scene before them made them pause.
It was a bustling modern world, with bustling streets that resembled Earth in the 20th century. Old motorcycles traveled along the road, flanked by quirky buildings, each house looking strange like honeycombs.
And most importantly, everyone seed to be living normally. Xue Dili saw students, office workers, laborers, and vendors, all living their lives normally.
Xue Dili and the lieutenant were stunned. As they looked at each other, they both had puzzled expressions.
Here, if they didn’t know it was a coordinate found on the Heart Stealer, they would suspect they had crossed over to a planet just stepping into the industrial age.
But after the initial shock, both Xue Dili and the lieutenant noticed sothing unusual.
"Did you sense it?" Xue Dili asked.
"Yeah, I sensed it." The lieutenant pointed at the passing crowd and said, "Why do all these people have the sa feeling as the Heart Stealer, yet they are all normal people?"
This was what they couldn’t figure out.
...
After so inquiry, they found out where they were.
58th street in Beifeng City, and the place they just crossed from was the ho the Heart Stealer ntioned.
Xue Dili and the lieutenant both fell silent. This was truly the world of the Heart Stealer, but it was completely different from what they imagined. It was almost as if...
This world’s people had all been replaced by the Heart Stealer, and even the Heart Stealer forgot its original identity, living bit by bit according to the original owner’s life path.
Long after, forgetting its essence as the Heart Stealer.
This was the guess they ca to. After confirming the location, they quickly broke into the Heart Stealer’s ho at Building No. 12, where Angel Authority was being usurped.
It was a large house. Xue Dili looked around; sothing like an old fax machine was still working. Here, they could also find traces of the owner’s life, and there were also piles of manuscripts written by the Heart Stealer.
Xue Dili picked up a manuscript and looked it over. It was a story about a naturally eight-fingered youth becoming a god in a world of swords and Magic through music—handwritten, the ink seed not fully dry.
"Hey, this Heart Stealer seems to also be a writer?" Xue Dili roughly counted the manuscripts and estimated the word count, and said lightly, "380,000 words, quite a lot. It even seems the submissions have passed, and it has started serializing in magazines."
This situation stunned the lieutenant even more. He kept pulling at his hair, saying, "Can Heart Stealers even write long stories? Weren’t they supposed to be a race that only parasitizes others and subtly distorts them? Let see the novel he wrote."
The young officer took the manuscript and seed to operate sothing on his own void terminal. He quickly deciphered the world’s characters and began to read.
The more he read, the more silent he beca. After flipping through dozens of pages, he returned the manuscript to Xue Dili, saying, "There’s a problem. This novel actually has logic!"
"Novels without logic are just left with history. Why is it strange for there to be logic?"
"Isn’t this a novel written by a Heart Stealer? Why would it be strange to have logic? They shouldn’t have such rigorous logic and creativity. While I read it, as popular literature, it has no major issues, just too vulgar. Many activities with wives and girlfriends are explicitly written out, but that’s not a big issue." The young officer kept tugging at his hair, looking truly distressed,
"How could a Heart Stealer logically write a complete story? It shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be..."
He even looked around the room and added, "What’s even stranger is that there are traces of soone’s life everywhere here. Even the water here has no dust in it, proving the Heart Stealer just poured it out and was about to fax the next part of the manuscript to the editor before suddenly disappearing, and it’s been less than half a day."
Xue Dili also looked at everything around him, nodding.
The Heart Stealer had been in the Teaching Country for a thousand years. Though the daily and yearly ti of different planets might not be the sa, the macroscopic ti is consistent, suggesting that this is the appearance after a thousand years.
Yet, everything in this room indicates that the Heart Stealer left not long ago.
"It’s too strange, not reasonable, really not reasonable. What have we overlooked?" The young officer anxiously tugged at his hair, and Xue Dili quickly stopped this bad habit, fearing he’d pluck himself bald here.
By the ti he got ho, seeing hundreds of wives would likely bring chaos when they saw him bald.
Xue Dili slowly opened "Innovation Era" in his hand.
Now, this travelogue he’d originally compiled had also beco a Treasure.
[Innovation Era (C to S level): An original ritual realized through a seven-day travelogue. Through the suffering and tornt of people in the travelogue, the original Destruction Giant God Goliath can be summoned. More functions await developnt, and future parts of the travelogue can continue to be written in the future.]
Remark: Owning this Treasure allows formal Genesis to be released only with the consent of the World Consciousness, without a prior ritual.
Without any ritual, as long as you connect with World Consciousness, you can release formal Genesis, no longer having to use the once most common "Pseudo Genesis."
Once conditions are t, Xue Dili can even summon more Beasts of Evil.
The Destruction Giant God is only one of the seven Beasts of Human Evil, representing other things such as "Compassion," "Desire," "Corruption," "Peace," "Slaughter," and "Primordial."
Each Beast of Evil is strong and powerful, their strengths and concepts capable of astonishing many. In terms of position, they are entities that can rival Creator Zeus or Typhon, though their birth conditions are very demanding. However, Xue Dili’s witnessed many mutts of the world, often by chance summoning the most suitable Beast of Evil for the corresponding world.
Of course, Beasts of Evil can only rival Creator Zeus; the Creator Zeus has surpassed the standard and isn’t considered.
Like the Destruction Giant God, capable of smashing both the Divine King and the Divine Wood in the Divine King’s main field, this Treasure’s strength might be more exaggerated than imagined, also more suitable for Xue Dili.
Additionally, besides completing formal Genesis and exchanging Beasts of Evil, this Treasure has many odd small functions, like automatic defense, like automatically recording special abnormal creatures in the travelogue, and so on.
Just like recording the Heart Stealer.
The pages of "Innovation Era" fluttered, and the figure of the Heart Stealer appeared on them.
"Is this your ho?" Xue Dili asked.
"Yes, yes, this is my ho. I still rember I’m a writer, there are my manuscripts on it, and I’ve already published successfully. Today I’ll receive the second issue’s manuscript fee from the magazine, right? I’m not a Heart Stealer, I’m a Transmigrator!" he imdiately replied.
But Xue Dili and the young officer were both silent.
"Haven’t you noticed any problems?" Xue Dili asked.
"What problems? My ho is just like this!" replied the Heart Stealer.
"But, a thousand years have already passed, and your ho is still like this, haven’t you noticed any problems?" Xue Dili continued to remind.
"Isn’t this normal? It’s just like this, the sa as when I left. That’s normal." The Heart Stealer’s logic and thinking seed completely twisted, even though Xue Dili had clearly pointed it out, he still thought everything happening here was normal.
Xue Dili and the young officer fell silent once more, looking out the window at the Heart Stealers living normally, suddenly feeling a chill crawling up their spines.
