The Shadow Fox Empress was no fool. Despite the Traversers' promises to handle the Third Young Master of Aolai Country, she recognized the danger and refused their proposal to allow the shadow foxes to invade. Skeptical of their assurances, she demanded they eliminate the Third Young Master first. Meanwhile, she continued sending shadow foxes to test the circle, hoping to assess what had truly happened to her adversary.
"Got you!"
A faint voice suddenly interrupted her argument with the traverser. The Shadow Fox Empress's cave entrance opened without warning.
"Who's there?" she demanded, shocked that she hadn't detected anyone approaching.
The traverser appeared equally surprised. Could the Third Young Master of Aolai Country have found them? When they finally glimpsed the intruder, puzzlement crossed their faces. Where had such a powerful figure in the Fox Spirit World come from?
Lucas, however, had no interest in satisfying their curiosity. With a simple wave of his hand, he summoned the energy of heaven and earth. A massive energy palm materialized and slammed into both the Shadow Fox Empress and the Traverser, incapacitating them instantly.
"Congratulations to Host for killing the Traverser and acquiring a Traverser Seal," announced the system.
In the chat group:
Dongfang Yuechu: "Group Leader, the Third Young Master of Aolai Country has arrived. He's already dealt with the shadow foxes that were attempting to breach the circle."
Lucas: "Excellent! It seems the situation is under control. As long as there are no more unauthorized entities like transmigrators or Traversers in your world, there shouldn't be any major disruptions."
Han Fei: "Group Leader, the Third Young Master is also cultivating spiritually in the Fox Spirit World, correct? Could my current techniques eventually reach his level?"
Lucas: "Yes, they're sufficient! But don't worry about it too much. Both the Dou qi Continent and the Yang God World have methods for soul cultivation. The Yang God World, in particular, specializes in soul cultivation techniques."
Zheng Qizi: "That's right! In our Yang God World, cultivation follows two primary paths: martial arts to strengthen the body, and immortal techniques to strengthen the soul. Master the latter to its ultimate level, and you can become a Yang God."
Han Fei: "How powerful is a Yang God exactly?"
Zheng Qizi: "The Yang God World hasn't witnessed a true Yang God in many years, so their full potential remains unknown. But when a Yang God powerhouse dies, their soul contains enough energy to evolve into a Middle Thousand World."
Howard Stark: "What exactly is a Middle Thousand World?"
Lucas: "It's a planet. According to the Yang God World's classification, Earth itself is considered a Middle Thousand World."
Liu Xing: "A planet can evolve after death? Then a Yang God must possess at least enough power to destroy a star."
Han Fei: "Group Leader, can I practice the Yang God World's soul techniques in my current state?"
Lucas: "Of course!"
Zheng Qizi: "Yang God World soul cultivation typically requires a physical body as its foundation. Even with the chat group's special soul attributes, would it work properly?"
Lucas: "Don't worry, there won't be any issues. You're overthinking it. Give me the pass to the Yang God World, and I'll check what time period it's currently in."
After their time together, Zheng Qizi had developed trust in Lucas and handed over his Yang God World Pass.
Zheng Qizi: "Before my death, I was fighting in a war between good and evil. I want to know the outcome. If the evil demons emerged victorious, I hope the Group Leader can help eliminate them."
Dongfang Yuechu: "Evil demons?"
Zheng Qizi: "Yes! Their ferocity exceeds anything you could imagine. They use children's blood and souls for their magic arts, committing countless murders to enhance their power."
Lucas: "I can confirm this. The evil demons of the Yang God World surpass all others in brutality—whether we're talking about Thanos, Shadow foxes, Celestial Dragons, or conventional demons."
Howard Stark: "That can't be right. Thanos wanted to wipe out half the universe's population! He massacres half of planets during conquests!"
Lucas: "Thanos might have a higher body count, but he's completely outmatched in cruelty. His killing is instantaneous—one snap. The evil demons, however, specialize in torture."
Zheng Qizi: "I can testify that their brutality defies comprehension. Many evil sects require souls filled with resentment for their cultivation. After capturing victims, they inflict maximum suffering, ensuring they die with endless pain and bitterness..."
Thomas Wayne: "That's utterly inhuman!"
Dongfang Yuechu: "Indeed! Compared to them, the shadow foxes barely qualify as threats."
Fisher Tiger: "Same for the Celestial Dragons! They may not consider slaves human, but they haven't descended to such depravity."
Liu Xing: "I believe it now. Among all our worlds, the Yang God World's demons are the most savage. But in terms of sheer kill count, Thanos remains unmatched, right?"
Lucas: "More or less. The evil heretics of the Yang God World, Muir V from the Stealing Star World, and Hun Tian from the Dou qi Continent—despite their substantial death tolls—still fall short of Thanos's numbers."
Xiao Xuan: "Muir V and Hun Tian?"
Lucas: "Correct. Muir V slaughtered over half of Earth to refine the body of gods, while Hun Tian sacrificed most of the Central Plains population to transform the Emperor Grade Pill into the true Emperor Elixir. Many perished by their hands."
Liu Xing: "But those killed by Muir V were resurrected by the True God Jiuyue using time manipulation, weren't they?"
Lucas: "Yes, but Hun Tian's victims faced a different fate. They were converted into energy to fuel his advancement to Dou Di status—a permanent and irreversible process."
Xiao Xuan: "It doesn't matter. None of this has happened yet."
In the outside world:
Lucas activated the Yang God World Pass and transported himself to the center of the Yang God World—the realm known as the Great Thousand World. He materialized above a vast ocean, allowing chat group members to observe this strange new environment through his perception.
Xiao Xuan: "What an enormous world! Is it larger than the Dou qi Continent?"
Lucas: "Absolutely. The Yang God World is even more expansive, particularly this Great Thousand World section, known as the Immortal World. Both martial arts and immortal techniques have their limits—flesh may shatter the vacuum, and soul might become a Yang God—but no one truly knows how vast the Great Thousand World actually is."
Xiao Xuan: "Between the Yang God World and the Dou qi Continent, which is more advanced? Which is larger? Surely the Dou qi Continent isn't inferior!"
Lucas: "You misunderstand. The Dou qi Continent definitely covers more territory than the Yang God World, without question. @Zheng Qizi, do you know the route? Tell me where to find the battlefield of the good versus evil war."
Zheng Qizi: "You don't know? Group Leader seems omniscient—I assumed you'd know our battlefield's location!"
Lucas: "I know it's in the Abyss of Nine Regions, but not how to get there. Just like I know Emperor Tuo She's cave is in Black Corner Region, but not how to reach Black Corner Region."
Zheng Qizi: "I understand. Let me come out and guide you, Group Leader! Though the Great Thousand World is vast, those of us who live here have our methods of navigation."
Lucas: "Excellent. I'll summon you now."
Lucas called forth Zheng Qizi's soul into the physical world, where he marveled at his new condition.
"Incredible! During my lifetime, I could separate my soul from my body, but this state feels completely different."
Zheng Qizi twisted his palm, watching in amazement as qi and blood power emanated from his soul.
"I can use martial arts qi and blood even in soul form? And this energy isn't even derived from soul power."
Lucas: "Not surprising. Xiao Xuan can use Dou Qi in soul state as well. You share the same condition as Traversers—you can utilize whatever abilities exist in your attributes."
Pirate King Roger: "This feels familiar. Isn't this similar to the Group Leader's skills? Despite possessing numerous Devil Fruit abilities, he doesn't actually use Devil Fruit power."
Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Correct! Group Leader acquired our Devil Fruit abilities through the chat group's red envelope and attribute systems. He enjoys all the benefits without any of the weaknesses, while maintaining compatibility with various powers."
Fire Fist Ace: "Because to him, these are attribute skills. The souls summoned by Group Leader appear to function similarly. Traversers share this characteristic too."
Senju Tobirama: "Indeed. Masters without Chakra can use ninjutsu as a skill, just as traverser can. The ninjutsu they purchase with Traverser coins functions without requiring any Chakra."
Zheng Qizi: "This is excellent news. The only limitation is the inability to use physical strengthening methods to increase power!"
