303: Hunt and City

Calamity Chaos.

It was a place where even dimensions were in chaos.

But the fleet, or rather these special ships, could withstand such chaos.

Tearing apart and reassembling, tearing apart and reassembling.

Though it looked explosive.

The people inside were safe.

Except— "Did I get ugly?"

Ye Su felt it himself.

Under the spatial chaos, Ye Su was shocked to find one of his legs longer than the other.

His arms actually began to twist in reverse.

Not to mention his face.

His facial features were all crooked, making him look like a defective product.

"It's a visual distortion."

Lu Yiyi said.

In Ye Su's eyes, Lu Yiyi had also become incredibly hideous.

The young girl's appearance was gone, replaced by an elderly, one-legged, three-armed monstrosity.

"It's a bit hard to get used to."

Ye Su said;

"Will it change later?"

"Yes, once we enter the selected world and the dimensions and space stabilize, we'll return to our original appearance."

Lu Yiyi said.

Ye Su nodded.

Calamity Chaos was truly wondrous.

Perhaps.

Without the protection of the ship, the outside would be even more terrifying.

It was still the dark starry sky, with the occasional planetary belt.

But this was no longer the universe; it was the Calamity Chaos world.

Power.

It was invisible.

To the naked eye, there was nothing special about this boundless starry sky.

But the power seeping through the ship had already begun to alter their visual perception.

"Get ready, we're about to enter the Grid World."

Lu Yiyi suddenly whispered via voice transmission.

Ye Su's heart tightened.

After the Enfeoffment of the Calamity White Head Great Profound Scripture, a faint sense of premonition suddenly surfaced.

There was danger!

He took a step closer to Lu Yiyi.

The next second.

With a thought from Lu Yiyi, the two of them vanished instantly.

"What?"

"They went to the Grid World?"

"Chase them! We can't let Lu Yiyi escape!"

"Were there orders from above? She must be killed!"

Chaos broke out inside the ship.

A large number of Ascenders quickly vanished.

Tracking Lu Yiyi's trail, they charged into the Grid World.

She.

She was actually an enemy to the entire world within the Star Spirit Clan to such an extent!

—The Gloomy Continent.

Ye Su and Lu Yiyi descended from the sky.

Sensing something, Ye Su grabbed Lu Yiyi and instantly made a sharp 90-degree turn.

At the same time, he prepared the long saber in his hand.

He slashed fiercely at the air.

*Squelch*—A Star Spirit Clan Ascension Three seemed to slam his own neck right into Ye Su's blade.

The person had no time to react at all.

He was decapitated instantly.

Grasping the head, Ye Su absorbed the Heaven's Will while saying;

"Boss Lu, are these pursuers still your own Star Spirit Clan people?"

"Is it dangerous here?"

"I need more money!"

Lu Yiyi was stunned by Ye Su's reaction speed.

It was as if he knew someone would appear the very next second.

No...

This could no longer be called mere reaction speed.

It was more like some kind of precognition...

How extraordinary.

As expected of a possessor of a Calamity Technique!

"Hmph, greater risks mean greater rewards."

"Don't be ungrateful, kid."

Lu Yiyi said.

This woman is so stubborn!

Even the 'Money-Adding Bro' couldn't get any advantage over her!

Fine.

The letter from the future said you have a high chance of making it big.

I'll bear with it for now.

"Let's go, you've probably attracted quite a few people."

Ye Su said.

Then the two of them entered this world.

This was a continent, a very, very large continent.

Moreover, the dimensional rules began to stabilize, and the two of them regained their respective appearances.

But in less than a second.

The two of them, in perfect sync, began to disguise themselves.

Ye Su changed his body shape, turning into a square-faced man nearly two meters tall.

While Lu Yiyi discarded her flashy clothes, becoming an elderly woman in plain clothes, wearing a bamboo hat and a veil.

This reflected their true personalities.

Ye Su preferred to intimidate others with a powerful appearance.

While Lu Yiyi used mystery to prevent anyone from harboring ill intentions.

"Where's the data on this world?"

"No data?"

"Hmm?"

"Look up. Everything in the Grid World is different every time you enter."

Ye Su looked up.

He squinted slightly.

He saw countless dashed grid lines in the sky.

It was as if the ceiling of this world was a cheap suspended ceiling.

"The world might be different, but the resources are the same."

Lu Yiyi continued;

"In this world, my people once discovered a destiny stone vein!"

"I need a massive amount of Heaven's Will, not just to improve myself, but to use them to purchase a slot for the Star Spirit Clan's core member trials."

In just a few words.

Lu Yiyi basically laid out her intentions.

Star Spirit Clan core member.

This seemed to be very important.

In fact, for a Peak Great Clan like the Star Spirit Clan, core members didn't rise through Bloodlines.

Because rising through Bloodlines would only lead to becoming weaker.

After all, your power and wealth would be plundered from the Star Spirit Clan population based on lineage.

The total wealth of the clan remains the same; it's just more concentrated on you.

Over time, the species would be doomed.

True core members are defined by how much wealth they can bring in.

They plunder wealth from the outside to gather it within the population.

In this way.

Core members are nurtured by the clan's resources while also continuously obtaining resources from the outside.

The entire population appears to break even or make a small profit.

Only then can the population avoid being drained dry and instead grow stronger and stronger.

Of course.

There are many other evaluation criteria that can't be explained in a short time.

Simply put;

It's like a company: you join the upper management to get protection and authority, but you must also earn back the money the company invests in you.

The two of them soon landed.

The continent's borders were nowhere in sight.

Yet, scattered small cities could be seen.

"Let's go take a look."

"We shouldn't separate. Be careful of Bizarre Creatures; they are good at disguising themselves."

Lu Yiyi said.

"Alright."

Ye Su followed her, and they walked toward a city.

—This was a city covering nearly a hundred square kilometers.

The high city walls were dozens of meters tall.

There were actually guards at the city gate.

They exuded an aura around the Streamline Realm, wearing tattered armor, but through the gaps, one could see they were dressed in ancient, coarse linen clothes.

An ancient world?

Ye Su was curious.

Lu Yiyi didn't stop. As she passed the city gate, she actually tossed out two small gold nuggets.

The guards pocketed them with a grin.

Then, without asking a single question, they opened the gate.

The two entered the city.

Immediately, a stench of sweaty feet began to permeate the air.

It turned out that near the city gate, there was a shelter for refugees, many of whom were barely clothed and on the verge of death.

Ye Su glanced over.

Amidst their weak life force, he discovered one or two beings with powerful auras.

These two guys also looked like refugees, on the brink of death.

But their internal strength was extraordinary, and their life force was robust.

Except—this aura had an added scent of cataclysm.

What was this?

A Bizarre Creature?
