Chapter 655 -657: You Want Me to Attract Hatred for You?

“I was wondering why my temporary Skill suddenly glitched. Did the future me really play it this big?” Qin Muye said with a stunned face, clearly having received the anchor avatar’s knowledge of the cause and effect.

“Damn, my Skill of reduced presence is no longer effective. Does that mean I’ll get noticed now?”

“If Emperor really regains power, I’ll definitely be the first one he comes after.”

Qin Muye was quite self-aware. He had previously been fearless due to his low profile, but by being pushed from the future back to the present, he had taken back 90% of the permissions for the Endless Abyss, causing the temporary Skill to fail.

Once Emperor recovered, and considering how often Qin Muye had come over to beat him up, extorted him with Nascent Soul, and even conducted Soul Search, how could Emperor not want to chop Qin Muye to vent his anger?

“But there’s still some good news. The sea of information is indeed nearly drained dry, and what’s left should be fairly easy to deal with.”

Qin Muye looked at his Endless Abyss territory, knowing that restoring it to its state three months later wouldn’t be easy, and many things would need to be redone.

The gap in time wasn’t something that could just be easily closed.

“The Sun Shooter, Taotie, Cloud Whale groups, Punishment Angel—so many Omega Level beings.”

“But speaking of which, how come ‘Lord Era’ was unaffected?”

Looking at his Territory Rank, he was now at Rank 9, whereas normally at this time he would still be at Rank 8.

“Once admitted, always admitted; what’s eaten will never be spit back out.” Qin Muye was sure that even though time was being rewound, there was definitely 0.7 units less World Source in the Dragon Vein.

The sea of information could allow the native world to rewind, but it definitely couldn’t take back the world share that was transformed by ‘Lord Era,’ as they weren’t from the same system to begin with.

Besides, time cannot target ‘Lord Era,’ for even during mission periods ‘Lord Era’ could adjust the flow of time.

However, the Spirit Monsters under his command were actually a bit confused, as their territory inexplicably jumped from Rank 8 to Rank 9, expanding by who knows how many times, leaving them at a loss.

What’s fixed is the Territory Rank, not the Troops. Soldiers that suffered damage would naturally not be spared, like time rewinding, which could be categorized as a time-based attack.

The Spirit Monsters, along with Qin Muye, couldn’t be immune to time, so they naturally failed the judgment.

“Next, I should be able to continue to mix in peace, right? Emperor will be dealt with by the All World Protector Organization. I need to recover the status of my territory first, secure the sea of information, and then find an opportunity to complete the remaining two… plots?”

That’s when Qin Muye suddenly realized something—he was still in the midst of two significant plot events: Emperor’s revival and the Dragon Vein’s failure.

“Holy shit, if I let the All World Protector Organization handle this, wouldn’t I be completing the main mission!!!”

Qin Muye was completely taken aback. He hadn’t expected that the main mission would continue without being invalidated by the plot, but rather incorporated the entire reversal process as part of the two major plot events.

Other Lords would be eager to complete the mission as quickly as possible, but Qin Muye was the total opposite.

“That’s what you get for being trigger-happy with Skill effects; now you’ve gone and trapped yourself.” Qin Muye didn’t quite know what else to say at the moment.

At that time, using the temporary Skill to decrease his presence indeed posed no problem, but given the situation then, it seemed like those were the last two plot events left for the foreseeable future. So, wasn’t it just a matter of blending in? After all, resolving Emperor’s revival could be done in a short amount of time, but the Dragon Vein’s failure would definitely not be resolved quickly.

“Forget it, at least there’s some consolation.” Qin Muye sighed. At least his future self was not only researching the sea of information but also the effects of the temporary Skill, and all this research benefitted him now.

And he gained a large amount of research data and reached Rank 9 without having to do anything.

“If it really doesn’t work out, I could just mix in this instance world until it’s over, then move onto another one. It’s not a big deal.” Despite feeling helpless, Qin Muye had no choice.

“All I need to do now is get my hands on the sea of information.”

As for this world, Qin Muye didn’t plan to devour it or turn it into a Titan Level Giant Structure. He might have had such ideas before, but not anymore.

Since the Abnormalities won’t disappear simply because the information sea is gone.

If one says that the sea of information is the womb that nurtures Abnormalities, then after an Abnormality is born, it actually has little to do with the sea of information, leaving behind only corresponding data at most.

This data is incapable of directly controlling an Abnormality.

The relationship between the two is like that between a buyer and a seller, once the transaction is complete, the seller can’t interfere with what the buyer does with the purchase afterward.

Therefore, if one wants to devour the world, one might have to face a whole bunch of Abnormalities.

But the disappearance of the sea of information also has its advantages. As the womb for nurturing Abnormalities, as long as the sea of information disappears, there won’t be any new Abnormalities being born, unless some Abnormalities go out of control and exhibit similar functions.

But these are matters for the future and don’t have much to do with the present.

“The Dragon Doctor is here? Has he come to test the Emperor?” Qin Muye noticed the Dragon Doctor approaching his direction.

He didn’t think the visit was for him. Although his presence had diminished, it wouldn’t be to the extent that someone would come looking for him, especially at this critical moment—it must be to test the Emperor in the neighboring Taia Palace.

But this time, Qin Muye was clearly mistaken, as the Dragon Doctor turned directly into his villa.

“You’re one to show up without cause, I remember you haven’t ever approached me on your own initiative,” Qin Muye thought for a moment, then added, “except for when I was escaping prison.”

“…” The Dragon Doctor had a gloomy expression, alright, you dare bring up the prison break, he even suspected that the Emperor’s loss of control was caused by Qin Muye beating him up too often.

However, considering he wanted to ask for Qin Muye’s help, he held back his complaints and simply explained the situation and its reasons.

“Do I look like I can fight? Besides, are you asking me to help with support, or to mockingly act as a meat shield…” Qin Muye could immediately see what the Dragon Doctor wanted, which was essentially to have him attract hatred.

Given the frequency and methods with which he had beaten the Emperor over the years, if the Emperor so much as glanced at someone else when they met, it would be deemed disrespectful to himself.

“Both are needed, both are needed. I’ll assign a small district to you after this and arrange for people to serve you,” the Dragon Doctor promptly said.

At Qin Muye’s level, speaking of interests hardly works, because you can’t afford his fees; the only option is to play the emotional card.

“The small district, is it inside the Dragon Vein or above?” Qin Muye raised an eyebrow; there was a significant difference.

“Ahem, that’s negotiable,” the Dragon Doctor said tactfully.

At first listen, it appeared to be inside the Dragon Vein, but in reality, if Qin Muye took the initiative to help, it could indeed be outside, allowing Qin Muye to lead a normal life.

“This… I’ll have to think about it. After all, the Emperor does harbor a little bit of hostility towards me. If it really comes to a fight, I fear for my life,” Qin Muye very tactfully declined.

Why should he get involved in this mess? Did he think he had it too easy?

“But you live right next to the Emperor,” the Dragon Doctor implied clearly that if a fight broke out, an incidental shockwave might well involve him too.

“I can move. You definitely aren’t going to fight the Emperor right now, right? I don’t have many possessions, come on, arrange a place for me far away from Taia Palace right away,” Qin Muye said with righteous indignation.

The Dragon Doctor could see that Qin Muye was determined not to get involved and thus could only helplessly ask, “Can you tell me why?”

“Of course, I think there must be a reason why you are suddenly dealing with the Emperor, which means that the Emperor has become a threat to world safety. Why should I foolishly act as a meat shield against such a person?” Qin Muye argued forcefully.

He definitely wouldn’t die, but the Emperor would surely see red and beat him to a pulp upon sight, not to mention he couldn’t afford to reveal his true strength. That would mean he could really end up as just a meat shield.

The Dragon Doctor hadn’t expected Qin Muye to think of all these points, but he had to admit, Qin Muye had a valid argument.

“We can grant you a reasonable request, as long as you help draw the Emperor’s attention,” the Dragon Doctor became increasingly certain that with Qin Muye’s annoying demeanor, he could definitely keep the Emperor’s hatred focused on himself.

Once the Emperor’s hatred was fixated, the rest of the situation would be much easier to handle.

“That’s quite the sacrifice, isn’t it?” Qin Muye appeared somewhat surprised; therefore, he also began to consider… maybe getting involved in the mess?
