291: The God of Traveling World (Additional Update)

“Ah?” Lin Zhi listened to Lin Ze’s words, stunned for a moment, blinked, and then said nothing more. If Lin Ze wanted to do it, she would accompany him.

Regardless of the consequences or the outcome, she wouldn't consider it, nor would she regret it.

“Alright, you should take the purple evolution crystal first,” Lin Ze said to Lin Zhi.

“Okay!” Lin Zhi nodded, then swallowed the purple evolution crystal in one gulp to undergo “breakthrough evolution.”

Lin Zhi endured the pain of evolution with a pained expression, an indescribable agony that reached her bones continuously assailing her from within her body, from all directions.

Lin Ze did nothing, but quietly watched Lin Zhi from the side.

…………

At the same time, in the system space.

“Ha! I won this round,” Tang Ziheng suddenly said.

“…Next time, it won’t be that simple…” A mysterious voice sounded, then fell silent.

“Tch~” Tang Ziheng looked at the disappearing voice and scoffed, “What nonsense! Who can’t talk tough! If you’re so capable, why don’t you slap me!”

This matter requires going back in time to before…

[Detected a change in the Kelu World of ‘Worker’ Lin Ze, resulting in a huge variable. For the safety and development of the worker, the host will converse with ‘Gods’ for mutual negotiation.] The system suddenly said to Tang Ziheng.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Tang Ziheng was startled for a moment and asked the system.

[The Kelu World is a game of Gods, with a group of powerful Gods using it as a ‘chessboard.’ However, Lin Ze is an unexpected variable, equivalent to you, the host, entering as a third-party force, disrupting their game. But please rest assured, they know nothing of the system’s power! After a brief encounter with them, the three parties decided to sit down and negotiate, which is now up to you, the host!] The system said to Tang Ziheng.

“The system’s power can’t even deal with them?” Tang Ziheng said, somewhat surprised.

[It’s not that it can’t, but that it shouldn’t.] The system said.

“Uh…” Tang Ziheng thought for a moment, it should be related to the system’s “principles,” but it didn’t matter. The system was the system, and he was him. If they really annoyed him… then he would fight them… His own power wasn’t bad, and with the system’s protection, at worst, he would be safe and sound.

However, this negotiation was interesting… the addition of a third-party force, huh… Tang Ziheng stroked his chin. It was naturally better not to fight if possible, as there was no benefit, but if he entered… the source points he could gain would be immense.

Especially since it also concerned his worker… This was for future development. Tang Ziheng thought for a moment, then decided to negotiate with these Gods.

Although Tang Ziheng hadn’t seen what these Gods looked like, he simply knew that they “were there,” and then negotiated in this “ethereal” manner.

Ultimately, Tang Ziheng still entered the fray.

However, Lin Ze still needed to be “punished.” As long as there was change, there must be “punishment,” including their decision to upgrade the game difficulty.

Tang Ziheng didn’t care about any of this. You can upgrade all you want! He believed in his worker, and it was also agreed that both sides would act according to the rules, based on the power they currently possessed… As long as there was no direct intervention, everything would take its natural course.

So, it was settled.

Tang Ziheng also had a backup plan; Lin Ze had a Cross-World Group, which was a power he “already possessed,” not something added later.

Thus, Tang Ziheng watched as these Gods, according to the rules, “punished” Lin Ze. What he didn’t expect was that Lin Ze’s strength was excessively strong.

The Gods could not perceive the system’s power, and naturally, they could not perceive Lin Ze’s strength.

They could only make judgments based on the rule that “resources obtained” equals “power.”

This was also why a purple-level monster launched a surprise attack.

What they didn’t expect was that if Lin Ze had indeed followed the “resources” = “strength” power model (like Lin Zhi), he would indeed have been unable to win, or even if he did, he would have paid a terrible price.

Unfortunately, with Biological Energy + Qi, he directly defeated them.

This caused the Gods’ calculations to fail, and they lost a round.

These Gods seemed to attach extreme importance to “rules.” They would generally act according to the rules, especially in this kind of game.

Even if there were mistakes or bugs, they still had to act according to the rules.

Just like Lin Ze, he would be “punished” according to the rules, but he could not be completely crushed and “erased.”

This meant that the most difficult challenge would necessarily be a near-death level.

Tang Ziheng pondered for a moment and asked the system, “What’s the deal with these Gods? They’re quite interesting…”

[You Jie Zhi Shen (Gods of the Game World), these Gods are not a single race, but there are quite a few of them… They are actually similar to the Main God Space, equivalent to another special ‘organization’ of the Main God Space. Their purpose, as you can see, is to turn worlds into games… and then let them develop.

Ultimately, either the world is destroyed and becomes their ‘nutriment,’ or it successfully forms a ‘game world,’ which they will sell to the Main God Space, Reincarnation Space, or other such entities, to gain benefits or simply consume them directly.] The system said to Tang Ziheng, then added:

[To put it bluntly, it’s also for ‘source points,’ just that the method of acquisition, quantity, and quality are different. Tch~ They are all trash!]

“Yes, yes, yes~ You are the most advanced, the best! The greatest!” Tang Ziheng listened to the system’s self-praise and proud words, nodding in agreement repeatedly.

However, the system was indeed right. In this regard, it was truly top-notch and had never disappointed Tang Ziheng.

Moreover, it could continuously upgrade. Tang Ziheng couldn’t imagine how terrifying the system’s power would be once it upgraded.

However, the system also seemed to have its own bottom line and principles.

As its host, he could have no principles and no bottom line.

The system was the system, and he was him.

After some thought, Tang Ziheng suddenly replayed what the system had just said, pondering silently.

In that case… it became interesting. He didn’t expect that besides the Main God Space and Reincarnation Space, there were also entities like the You Jie Zhi Shen (Gods of the Game World). However, comparatively, these You Jie Zhi Shen (Gods of the Game World) were considered neutral. Of course, for these worlds, they were also “enslavement” and “invasion,” just with different “methods” and “approaches” compared to the Main God Space and the others.

So, did he count as having developed an organization and a sub-organization? The organization was him, the “behind-the-scenes” operator, and the power represented by the system.

The sub-organization consisted of the Cross-World Group and the “workers” under his command.

Hmm~ This is quite interesting! Tang Ziheng was increasingly looking forward to future developments. It seemed that more and more interesting things were emerging, and more and more challenges were to be faced.

He never imagined that within the myriad worlds, such interesting existences could be found. It was evident that various forces were intricate and chaotic!

Coupled with the infinite worlds…

This stage is vast.
