76: Chapter 76

The True Red Dragon God Emperor said nothing more; she was as quiet as a gentle woman, simply continuing to listen to Luo Yu as he spoke on.

"From the moment I learned from Ddraig that my cheap ancestor was the owner of the First Holy Sword, I felt something was off. Especially when I heard he had swung his sword at that god; I wasn't just shocked, I was mostly suspicious."

"Suspicious?"

A look of confusion appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

What was there to be suspicious about?

What was wrong with it?

"You and Ophis both popped out of the Dimensional Gap, possessing power from birth that could crush everything. That's why you simply don't understand how difficult it is for a human to climb to the level of gods and devils."

Luo Yu spoke bluntly.

"Those so-called heroes of the ancient era either had the blood of gods and devils flowing in their veins or were possessed by Sacred Gears. But even so, no one could swing a sword at a god, even if that god was just Michael in disguise."

"It was simply impossible for that cheap ancestor to reach that step. At the very least, in this world, there were no resources that could allow him to grow to that level."

Luo Yu said straightforwardly.

To be able to battle against Michael, who had fused with Divine Power, one's strength would at least have to start at the second sequence of a Super Devil, or perhaps even the third sequence.

A human could almost never reach this level on their own.

If he hadn't caught a glimpse of the secret of the Origin Gold Pattern, even Luo Yu himself wouldn't dare guarantee he could break through to become a Super Devil.

Don't think that just because he killed Hades, Super Devils are a dime a dozen.

That is the absolute top-tier combat power of the Three Realms.

Since ancient times—the number of humans who could step into the Super Devil King Class could be counted on one hand, or one could even say there were none at all.

Cao Cao's potential, at most, represented the upper limit of the human race.

"That Super Devil strength of his must have been obtained from another world, right? Through this coordinate you gave me—"

Luo Yu took out the golden coordinate he carried with him.

Perhaps because they were in the True Red Dragon God Emperor's dream space, this object was not repelled or covered by the surrounding space as it had been before in the Underworld.

Previously, when he used this golden coordinate to open a temporary passage in the Underworld, he had already caught a glimpse of the brand-new world inside, one completely different from the existence of the current Three Realms.

"I retract my previous words. As fellow outsiders, you are much smarter than your old ancestor, and you have more patience."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor's words made Luo Yu's expression change slightly.

Being a Transmigrator was his greatest secret, yet the other party had revealed it in a single sentence.

However, he did not panic.

Although it was unexpected, he had already vaguely sensed something before.

"Good mindset."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor's lips curled slightly as she spoke.

"I noticed you the moment you arrived in this world."

"The Boosted Gear was something I specifically arranged through the Heaven System. You outsiders seem to call this thing..."

She paused, as if recalling something.

"Right, a 'Cheat'."

Hearing this, Luo Yu's heart sank.

He had never expected that the gauntlet on his hand had actually been personally handed to him by this supreme existence.

This feeling of being clearly arranged from start to finish made him feel indescribably repulsed.

What terrified him even more upon deep thought was—from the True Red Dragon God Emperor's words, it was not hard to hear that there were far more outsiders who had transmigrated to this world than just him.

At the very least, his cheap ancestor was one of them.

"Collisions occasionally occur between worlds, and such collisions shake loose some fragmentary information from the past and future."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor's tone was light and nonchalant.

"Some people happened to receive these fragments while sleeping, and they became what you call—plots, anime, novels."

She smiled.

"Many outsiders, after transmigrating, feel they can make a big splash, thinking they've received the protagonist's script. Unfortunately, they are either killed by strong enemies or their own mental state collapses, leading to their demise. You have to know, the eras your predecessors transmigrated to were the ancient times. Even if I gave them a 'Cheat', it wasn't easy to survive."

Luo Yu lowered his voice.

"You intentionally let us in?"

"If that's how you want to put it... that's not wrong either."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor's gaze became somewhat distant, as if recalling something from a long time ago.

"You outsiders, in the end, transmigration itself is an accident. It utilizes the cracks between worlds."

"But the general situation is—the moment you enter another world, you will immediately be discovered by that world's will. Then, you are either expelled or erased."

She paused.

"But I am different. I am the guardian of this world, and I have a certain authority to mobilize the world's will. At a certain period, I will choose a specific person and let them safely reincarnate and live here."

Luo Yu felt his heart tighten as he listened.

He didn't understand what the True Red Dragon God Emperor's purpose in doing this was.

Even if these transmigrators all eventually grew into Super Devils, to the True Red Dragon God Emperor, they probably wouldn't be worth mentioning.

What he couldn't figure out even more was—if the world's will was truly like antivirus software that would automatically clear out illegal transmigrator intruders, then by what means did his cheap ancestor manage to use the golden coordinate to run off to other worlds?

After all, not every world has a guardian as "friendly" as the True Red Dragon God Emperor.

The True Red Dragon God Emperor seemed to see through the doubts in his heart.

She gave a light wave of her jade-white hand.

The surrounding space changed once again.

The originally silent and deserted street disappeared, replaced by an open-air tea pavilion.

Crisp birdsong came from the trees, and a breeze brushed against his skin, carrying a bit of warmth.

This world was finally no longer deathly silent.

Beside the open-air tea table, a waiter brought over two cups of brewed black tea, the steam still rising.

The cups were placed on the table, and Luo Yu took a look.

Even though he knew this was a dream world, everything felt even more real than reality.

"Sit down and talk."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor sat down first, picked up the black tea and took a sip, her lips curling slightly upward.

"You surely don't expect me to stand on an empty street and tell you about all that messy business."

Luo Yu didn't say much and sat directly opposite her.

The roof of the tea pavilion blocked most of the daylight, and the light falling onto the tabletop perfectly illuminated the steam at the rim of the cup.

The True Red Dragon God Emperor was clearly someone who knew how to enjoy tea.

Her red lips lightly touched the rim of the cup, and she squinted her eyes like a cat that had stolen some fish.

"You humans seem to be born knowing how to live a good life. Compared to those god and devil races, you are indeed weak and have low potential, but the things you come up with have so much variety. Especially those broken pantheons that don't change for thousands of years; I would rather respond to the messy dreams in you humans' heads."

The black tea in her cup was already more than half gone, and as if she suddenly thought of something, the smile on her face deepened a little more.

"I almost forgot, you aren't human anymore either. Just like me, a pure-blooded dragon. Whether as an outsider or a transmigrator, you are the boldest and craziest one I have ever seen."

"You aren't the first to say that about me."

Yes.

That guy Ddraig also had it on his lips every day, saying he was the one most willing to risk his life among all the Boosted Gear hosts of the Red Dragon Emperor throughout history.

But Luo Yu knew clearly in his heart that he was just choosing the most correct path at every step, choosing the path most beneficial to himself.

Some paths looked risky, but risk and reward were always directly proportional.

Luo Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip as well.

The moment his tongue touched the tea, his sense of touch, taste, and smell all clearly told him—this was real tea, not fake.

Even the warmth of the tea sliding down his throat into his stomach could be perceived without the slightest discrepancy.

Setting other things aside, just regarding the taste of this tea, compared to the one Akeno brewed, it was not a bit worse.

The True Red Dragon God Emperor's fingertips tapped lightly on the tea lid twice, finally pulling the topic back to the right track.

"Alright, let's start talking about the main business."

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment.

"All of this has to start from the characteristics that you transmigrators carry with you."

"Characteristics?"

Luo Yu frowned.

"Please continue."

"When you transmigrate to another world, if you aren't destroyed by the world's will the first time, you will receive a certain... acknowledgment from the entire Multiverse. You can call it that."

"With this acknowledgment, the next time you transmigrate to another world, you won't be detected by that world's consciousness."

Luo Yu understood immediately.

The first point of doubt had already been solved.

So there was such a rule in the Multiverse.

It was a bit like a test; if you passed, you could get a pass, and from then on, moving back and forth between major worlds would be unimpeded.

"As for my purpose... why I risk cultivating you people..."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor's gaze darkened slightly.

"I just don't want this world to be finished. The Multiverse is not peaceful; it is full of annexation and slaughter everywhere, and blood is its true color."

Some images flashed through Luo Yu's mind.

In the future, stronger enemies did indeed attack, and even the True Red Dragon God Emperor's head was chopped off.

He only knew this much.

And the True Red Dragon God Emperor had clearly heard about this from other transmigrators as well.

She had always wanted to prevent it from happening.

Putting these words together, and combining them with Luo Yu's own guesses, her intention became clear.

"You want the transmigrators to act as the vanguard, to make the first move and invade other worlds so that you can become stronger."

Luo Yu's tone sank.

The True Red Dragon God Emperor did not deny it, but instead nodded.

She did not feel there was anything to be embarrassed about regarding the word "invasion".

In this endless starry sky, survival is the only truth; justice and evil are both nonsense.

If the world is gone, who would care about those things?

As the guardian of this world, as long as it can continue to exist in the terrifying abyss, what does it matter even if she loses her conscience?

She didn't even mind cooperating with the "viruses" she spoke of—that is, the transmigrators.

The True Red Dragon God Emperor spoke: "The worlds in this universe are as numerous as the sand in a river. Only when a world itself is strong enough to a certain degree will the protective layer on it, called the World Green Leaf, fall off, allowing it to actively invade other worlds. And the power of this world has not yet reached that step."

"World Green Leaf?"

Luo Yu narrowed his eyes.

He had never heard of it at all.

Since it is a protective mechanism, why would it fall off?

When every heaven and earth is first created, the Great Consciousness of the Multiverse bestows a green leaf.

The purpose of that green leaf is to hide this world and block the covetous gazes from the outside.

The weaker the world, the stronger the protection of the green leaf.

When the world gradually becomes stronger, the green leaf will also slowly weaken until it falls off completely.

At that time, this world is equivalent to stripping off its clothes and being exposed before countless strong enemies.

However, even if the green leaf is still there, it does not mean it is absolutely safe.

Our world, the green leaf hasn't even fallen off yet, and hasn't it still been attacked by other worlds?
