270: beginning of summer

"Ye Su, Ye Su, is that you?"

Wan Chun had a rather lively personality.

It wasn't apparent when he was at the Ice Giant Star.

But his true nature was exposed upon returning to the Universe.

Simply put.

He simply stopped pretending!

"It's me, do you need something?" Ye Su replied.

"You're Ascension Level Two now. Are you interested in binding with my race? Oh, right, about binding, it's Ascension Three—"

Blah blah blah.

Wan Chun explained the matters of Ascension Three once more.

It didn't deviate from what Lu Yiyi had said.

"I'll have to think about it."

Ye Su said.

They were all here to recruit him.

To them, Ye Su's greatest value was that he hadn't reached Ascension Three yet and hadn't truly bound himself.

Once bound, they would likely pull a combo of blacklisting and deleting him.

Ye Su had seen the value system of the Universe!

An Ascension Level Two Ascender with a Heavens Will Strike was highly valuable.

But even if the value was high, once Ye Su wanted to include his own race, the deal would become unprofitable.

"Ah, okay, think about it more. Contact me if you're interested. Getting you out of the Mutated Planet is no big deal for my Wanxin Clan."

Wan Chun said finally and hung up.

Ye Su lay directly on the roof terrace of his house.

So annoying.

The road ahead was misty.

Staying on Blue Star, reaching Ascension Three would be a certain death trap.

Leaving, then Great Xia staying on Blue Star would also be a certain death trap.

In short, there was no way to have it all.

"Perhaps, I can leave this worry to the letter from the future."

Ye Su thought to himself;

"There are only two days left of Grain Rain, and the day after tomorrow is Start of Summer."

"A new solar term brings a new letter. Perhaps my future self has tried the path to the Universe."

"I hate these situations where you can only choose one."

"There should be a way to have the best of both worlds."

Actually, Ye Su already had an immature idea in his mind.

That was.

Directly making a heavens will oath with Ister.

In the early stages, Ye Su would help him deal with Gust and the Wang Clan leader in Lava Hell.

Then directly crush the Snowman Clan and Fire Elementals.

This way.

Let the subsequent solar terms proceed quietly on the path of mutation.

Finally, using enough value, take Blue Star away directly after the mutation ends.

Theoretically.

This method was viable.

But this future was extremely cruel.

It meant that Ye Su would have to face the great escape event of the Golden Crow's Divine Kingdom after the mutation ended.

Damn.

Just how much money or how strong a force would be needed.

To take Blue Star away under such circumstances!

It could only be said that everything was difficult.

Wait for the letter on Start of Summer.

Only when the letter for Start of Summer arrives will he know what choice his future self made and be able to further analyze what to do.

Time slipped away bit by bit.

During such a precious mutation season, the four planets surprisingly had no wars; even Lava Hell and Elf Planet had stopped fighting.

Of course.

Ice Giant Star and Lava Hell were not truly quiet.

They still tried to condense their racial destiny and promoted another Ascension Level Two.

These newly promoted Ascension Level Twos were the strongest.

Because they had experience.

They used the Enfeoffment on their own Cultivation Techniques.

To increase their power rank.

Heh, they probably found clues from Lu Yiyi.

After all, that girl Lu Yiyi had never truly unleashed her full power.

But her methods, attacks, and outbursts were extremely exaggerated.

Except for facing the Calamity Power of the Calamity Mercenary Group, she hadn't suffered any losses.

Enfeoffing her own Cultivation Technique was likely also to counter Ye Su.

Otherwise.

Ye Su's individual combat power was too strong; him suppressing them would prevent them from gaining benefits in the upcoming wars.

So this kind of promotion was inevitable.

Great Xia had actually asked Ye Su as well.

Should they gather a wave of timing before Grain Rain ended?

Using the national destiny as fuel, there might actually be a chance to push Ye Su from Ascension Level Two to Ascension Three!

Actually, it wasn't enough.

But considering this issue, Great Xia would have a large number of personnel force out the meager timing from their heavenly timing containers, gathering bits to make a lot.

They could always push Ye Su up.

This was the meaning of a race.

But Ye Su refused.

No rush for this one day.

Furthermore, he had already "failed" many times.

If he continued to fail, the Wang Clan might react.

Let's talk about this after the letter for Start of Summer arrives.

Ister was truly able to keep his composure.

He never came to find Ye Su.

And so—Start of Summer was approaching!

---May 5, 2035, at 00:00:01 AM.

Start of Summer had arrived.

Labor Day and Youth Day didn't have much of a festive atmosphere.

Ye Su stood on the roof, reached out his hand, and when he pulled it back, a letter was held between his fingers;

[Start of Summer, all things flourish.]

[Ye Su, when you open this letter, it means I have... hehe... well, I've become a Human Traitor.]

Ye Su paused.

Then he shook his head with a smile.

If one day he had no way out, he would surely explore new possibilities for his past self.

It's just that this 'future' self was a bit bolder.

He had changed sides.

In the relaxed tone, only Ye Su could feel his pressure.

[Based on the information I've summarized so far, 'we' have changed to a total of four factions. I'll tell you about them one by one, and you can judge for yourself.]

[First, I joined the Ghost Clan. Tsk tsk, this race is really perverted. In terms of power, Ye Su, you must remember that Peak Races are Peak Races because their power has already reached the true Peak.]

[The Ghost Clan isn't actually worth joining. After binding with the Ghost Clan's celestial phenomena, it's like wearing some kind of shackles, damn! Every month, they also drain the timing accumulated in your heavenly timing container. It's so f*cking annoying, treating people like cattle.]

[Never choose the Ghost Clan; once you join, you can never turn things around for eternity.]

Ghost Clan.

Practitioners of the Universe's values.

For an outside Ascender to bind with them, it really was miserable.

[Then there's the Wanxin Clan.]

[This is a Great Clan in the Universe with considerable power. After binding, the degree of freedom is still quite high, but there are many missions, mostly competing for timing or other things in various major events. The mortality rate is very high.]

[But if you're strong enough, you rise quickly. However, you can only keep winning; once you lose, everything is gone.]

[They basically eat people without spitting out the bones. It's meaningless.]

[Next is the Star Spirit Clan.]

[Lu Yiyi is still decent. There should be some internal issues within the Star Spirit Clan; Lu Yiyi is cultivating her own direct line. The treatment is good, but the enemies faced are too exaggerated.]

[This 'Senior' was wiped out by an Ascension Six, so you can imagine how cruel these Great Clan disputes are. Moreover, 'he' said in the letter that this kind of death is almost unavoidable. You really can't survive!]

[The last one is the Calamity Mercenary Group, this is currently the most likely faction to survive among the Human Traitor paths.]

[Just remember never to touch cataclysm exploration.]

[This 'Senior' didn't even know how he died in the end. In the Calamity Chaos, a white light swept across, and a massive fleet just evaporated.]

[That's right, evaporated, as if it had never existed. And this was led by an Ascension Seven! It's too f*cking terrifying.]

Ye Su covered his forehead.

None of them can survive.

Damn it, even being a Human Traitor doesn't work.

F*ck!
