77: Chapter 77

After hearing this, only two words remained in Luo Yu's mind: "Limitation."

That so-called "World Green Leaf" was both a protective umbrella and a cage.

It restrained the gaze of all powerhouses looking toward the territories beyond.

Moreover, just as the True Red Dragon God Emperor said, once the Green Leaf begins to fall or wither, this world becomes increasingly susceptible to being targeted.

As long as there is someone strong enough in the outside world who can tear through this layer of the Green Leaf barrier, invasion is only a matter of time.

Compared to attacking those mature, great worlds, isn't it much easier to gnaw on a seedling that hasn't fully grown yet?

The more Luo Yu thought about it, the more his heart turned cold.

Although the Green Leaf of the world they resided in hadn't completely fallen off yet, it probably wasn't far from doing so.

In the eyes of those truly powerful worlds, they were nothing more than a piece of fattened meat that had delivered itself to their doorstep.

"Transmigrators are a deadly poison to a world."

The voice of the True Red Dragon God Emperor interrupted Luo Yu's train of thought.

"They disrupt the order of the world. You should have noticed as well that the trajectory of this world has already diverged significantly from the future in your memories."

Luo Yu nodded.

He was very clear about the biggest change in this world.

For example, the way that certain God fell was completely different.

The True Red Dragon God Emperor continued, "Originally, on this timeline, that certain God was not killed by a sneak attack from Shiva and those other six people. He should have perished together with the First Generation Four Great Demon Kings, just as you remember."

As she spoke, her tone deepened.

"This is the so-called 'Butterfly Effect.' A tiny change can snowball into a series of chain reactions. Eventually, it might even drag the entire world into the abyss of destruction."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor sighed, looking at Luo Yu with a complex expression.

"If I hadn't been so curious back then and captured a Transmigrator to look through his memories, letting the World Consciousness erase him would have been for the best."

"In that case, there wouldn't be so much trouble now."

After listening, Luo Yu sneered.

"Ridiculous. Are we supposed to just close our eyes and wait for death like sheep waiting to be slaughtered?"

Luo Yu took a sip of black tea, his tone very flat.

The True Red Dragon God Emperor had spoken to this point, and he basically understood.

What the other party wanted was merely to preserve herself and this world from destruction, using the special abilities of Transmigrators to invade worlds that hadn't matured yet in order to expand her own territory.

And he, Luo Yu, was the key chosen for this, or rather, a tool.

Luo Yu didn't actually mind being used.

If someone uses you, it at least means you still have some utility.

What's most fearful is when others don't even look at you; that is truly pathetic.

"I have a few questions I'd like to ask."

"Go ahead."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor made a gesture of invitation, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

This kid had a clear head, unlike those Transmigrators she had swatted to death before, who were either boundless in their arrogance or full of hypocritical morals while harboring filthy thoughts in secret.

What disgusted her the most was the sense of superiority that permeated the bones of those people.

By comparison, someone like Luo Yu, who only cared about practical benefits, was actually the most suitable partner.

Just as she guessed, the first thing Luo Yu asked about was the benefits.

"First question, if I help this world invade other places, what do I get? If it's just giving me some resources to brush me off, then there's no need for us to continue talking."

Luo Yu spoke very directly.

If it were just resources, how would this be any different from getting something for nothing?

Although the other party could help him sever the Origin Gold Pattern and allow him to break through in strength, this benefit alone wasn't enough to make him risk being a vanguard to invade other worlds.

According to the True Red Dragon God Emperor's account, she should have chosen quite a few Transmigrators over the years.

For instance, his cheap ancestor was likely sent to other worlds as well.

But looking at the current state of the Three Realms, there wasn't a single trace of it becoming stronger, which meant all those people had failed and died on the way to other worlds.

His ancestor was probably lucky enough to escape back, only to run into The Great War and get killed directly by Michael, who wielded the power of the God of Destruction.

There was no need to think about how great the risks behind this were.

Being a Transmigrator, escaping with your life was easy, but invading was hard.

If he could get the coordinates of other worlds, he, Luo Yu, could traverse there on his own to snatch resources; there was absolutely no need to serve as cannon fodder for this world.

"Thirty percent of the World Origin."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor extended three fingers, fair and slender.

"If you successfully invade and swallow that world, I can represent the consciousness of this world and promise you thirty percent of the World Origin. As for what the World Origin is..."

Luo Yu was about to speak, but she cut him off.

"The foundation of the multiverse, the source of evolution for all living worlds..."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor was slightly taken aback, her gaze carrying a hint of surprise: "You know these things? It seems you harbor some secrets I am unaware of."

This information was what Luo Yu had received from that dark space when he initially peered into the Origin Gold Pattern.

As his cultivation continued to soar, reaching this current stage, what he needed to sever was not just quantity; his demand for energy could no longer be satisfied by ordinary crystals.

He had to rely on the World Origin, this power that pointed directly to the root.

However—Luo Yu truly hadn't expected the True Red Dragon God Emperor to be so generous as to directly offer thirty percent of the World Origin.

This was no small amount.

After all, the subsequent invasion would require the True Red Dragon God Emperor, or even the entire world, to work together; he couldn't possibly pull it off alone.

"It seems you are reasonably satisfied with my sincerity."

The True Red Dragon God Emperor saw the change in Luo Yu's expression and smiled slightly, then her expression turned serious: "Now let's talk about serious business; it's time to execute the plan."

"But your strength is still far from enough."

"Far from enough?"

Luo Yu was a bit confused.

Compared to that cheap ancestor, his current combat power shouldn't be too far off, right?

Of course, that was referring to after activating the Boosted Gear's Limit Break Heavenly Dragon form.

Sure enough, the True Red Dragon God Emperor continued—

"I am not talking about your combat ability, but your actual cultivation level. You are currently only at the peak of the mid-stage Super Devil level; to traverse worlds, you need to at least reach the Super Devil level. Otherwise, you won't be able to withstand the pressure inside the spatial tunnel."

"You must know that is the collision of spatial forces formed between two worlds, unlike those fragile spaces inside a world."

"By then, you might not even be able to use the Boosted Gear. These are all lessons your predecessors paid for with their lives."

Many Transmigrators in the past had been torn to pieces directly by the power inside the spatial tunnel.

"Super Devil is your minimum threshold for traversing other worlds."

"Super Devil, huh..."

Luo Yu really hadn't expected this realm to become the entry ticket for traversing worlds.

"Your primary goal is to break through to Super Devil. Secondly, you had better finish what your ancestor left undone."

After saying this, the True Red Dragon God Emperor added, "A dying wish."

Did that cheap ancestor have any unfulfilled wishes?

Or, was it related to that invading world?

"Otherwise, why do you think he got involved in The Great War? Just for that bit of friendship with House Sitri?"

He wanted to reach into the Three Factions and completely hold the Three Realms in his own hands.

Connecting this to the plan they were currently discussing about invading other worlds, it actually wasn't hard to figure out.

To attack, relying on just a few people or a few experts wasn't enough; one needed an army behind them, an entire massive force to support them.

Therefore, the power of the Three Realms had to be twisted into a single rope.

"Your ancestor, back then, took the world coordinates you have in your hand and led people to kill their way to the other side. Unfortunately, the other side wasn't a soft persimmon either, and they were desperately pushed back. He had to retreat to the Three Realms, intending to accumulate stronger power to fight another round."

When the True Red Dragon God Emperor said this, her face rarely showed a hint of regret.

That Transmigrator was the one closest to success.

The rest were all crooked melons and cracked dates.

Even if they were lucky enough to pass through the spatial tunnel, they were easily dealt with by the people on the other side.

"Originally, your ancestor's plan was to first make a name for himself in The Great War, help Sirzechs Lucifer and the others settle the Underworld, and at the very least, get the power of the Underworld into his hands first. Then, step by step, swallow the authority of all Three Factions. Unfortunately, he miscalculated one thing—that guy Michael wasn't a true god, yet he was so swift and decisive, directly..."

"I wanted to help him back then, but the World Consciousness was suppressing me; I had no reason, and I couldn't casually interfere in the affairs of the Three Realms."

It seems this cheap ancestor was the most promising one among the Transmigrators the True Red Dragon God Emperor had raised.

He had already been able to lead people to attack other worlds; he definitely wasn't the kind of trash that Luo Yu had previously imagined, someone who just luckily escaped back from another world.

If he had proceeded step by step and swallowed the power of the Three Factions bit by bit, even if he didn't unify all the pantheons of the Three Realms, he could still organize another attack.

With the foundation laid by the last invasion, perhaps he could take it down in one go.

Of course, this was all Luo Yu's own guessing.

He didn't know how tough the world on the other side of those coordinates really was.

When it came to integrating the power of the Three Realms, for someone like Luo Yu who had no foundation in the Three Realms, it wasn't an easy task.

Having strength alone was far from enough.

However—the Angels' revenge plan would definitely turn the Three Realms upside down.

At that time, perhaps he could take the opportunity to do something.

Of course, thinking too much now was useless; he would just have to see the situation when the time came.

Kuoh Town, villa.

"Luo Yu, you're finally back. It's good that you're alright."

Seeing Luo Yu, who had disappeared for several days, finally appear, Sona finally let go of her hanging heart.

"Didn't I tell you in advance that I might be back a few days late?"

Before sending Cao Cao to the Heaven, Luo Yu had greeted the few women in the villa to avoid them worrying blindly.

"... It's about that matter at Mount Sumeru."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Luo Yu understood what Sona was worried about.

When he went to the Dimensional Gap, the incident at Mount Sumeru happened to be seen by other pantheons.

Sona was afraid he had been dragged into it too.

Luo Yu shook his head, his tone softening: "I have nothing to do with Mount Sumeru; you're overthinking it."

Sona bit her lip and didn't reply.

The room was quiet for a few seconds.

"Besides," Luo Yu patted Sona's shoulder, "aren't I standing here perfectly fine?"

Sona looked up at Luo Yu, her lips moving, but in the end, she didn't pursue the questioning.

Meanwhile, on the other side—in the Dimensional Gap.

Luo Yu had just exited the illusionary dream world, and before his eyes, he was back in that void space.

The sky-covering body of the True Red Dragon God Emperor was slowly swimming toward the depths.

"Hey, partner, what are you spacing out for? You haven't been scared silly by that guy's size, have you?"

Ddraig's voice sounded from the side, carrying a hint of teasing.
