Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

"So, when world after world sank and countless treasures were deposited, can you imagine how many treasures there were in my abyss?"

"There's even the Heart of the World!"

“Even if the broken heart of the world is a treasure that is unimaginably valuable, if we can bring it back and integrate it into the Xianwu Continent, it may allow the Xianwu Continent to reach a higher level.”

"As the world evolves, all cultivators in the world will gain unimaginable benefits."

"The upper limit will also be raised!"

Gu Xinglian stared at Lin Fan with a calm gaze, but deep in her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of desire.

Of course, it is not a desire between men and women, but a desire for the heart of the world.

"I see. But there is still one thing I don't understand." Lin Fan pondered, "I can probably understand what you mean by the Heart of the World, and why it is so important."

He really could understand.

Although this is the first time I've heard of this, I've seen similar things and settings in novels countless times. It's so familiar to me.

To put it bluntly, isn't it the 'origin of the world'?

By integrating the origins of multiple worlds into your own world, you can upgrade this world.

What are the benefits of upgrading?

Raise the limit!

How to improve it specifically?

Improve in all aspects.

First of all, the 'Original Spirit Qi' will definitely be much higher than before, both in quality and quantity. Even some barren lands that originally had no Origin Spirit Qi may be directly transformed into places with Origin Spirit Qi and suitable for cultivating immortals.

Yuanshi mines and so on will also appear a lot more quietly.

The same is true for various rare treasures.

It is even possible that some secret places or treasures will suddenly appear out of nowhere.

The world itself will also be more solid.

For example, now, the best of the seventh realm in Xianwu Continent can tear through space and teleport, but if they want to "upgrade" again, they will need to be at least in the eighth realm or even the peak of the eighth realm to do it.

Moreover, when powerful people fight each other, it is not so easy to tear the space apart.

The laws of movement have been wiped out, the order gods have collapsed, etc., that's because the world is not strong enough and can't keep up with the strength of the cultivators~

If the world is strong enough.

For example, if a cultivator from the lower world is thrown into the fairyland, can he tear the space and teleport?

What a fart!

I'm afraid it would be difficult to even split mountains and rocks.

This is because the level of the fairy world is high enough, strong enough, and hard enough!

At the same time, as the world level is upgraded, the "upper limit" of the monks will also be raised.

Perhaps the level is still ninety-nine eighty-one.

However, at each level of strength, especially after the peak of the ninth level, it may not be so easy to ascend, which means that the world has a higher "tolerance".

And it will be even more difficult for people from other worlds to come in.

Of course, at first glance these are all advantages, but in fact there are some disadvantages as well.

After all, everything has two sides.

However, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

But the problem lies here. The Heart of the World is actually not that important to an individual.

So, he continued, "Why do you, Senior, desire the Heart of the World so much?"

"If you want special treasures that can improve your personal cultivation, I can understand it, but I don't know why you have to choose the Heart of the World."

"There's no outsider here, so I'm just being presumptuous."

"You can't really be a 'Virgin Mary' who cares about the world and is willing to do everything for it, right?"

"···"

Gu Xinglian rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, a little speechless: "You don't trust me, do you think I will sell you out?"

“That’s not the case.” Lin Fan waved his hand: “I’m just curious.”

"If you can't say it, that's fine."

"There's nothing I can't say." Gu Xinglian sighed softly, "But before that, I have a question. In your opinion, who has the final say in Xianwu Continent?"

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

This question...

He actually considered it.

And not just once.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Nine Holy Lands?"

Gu Xinglian smiled helplessly: "Is it fun to tell lies? With your personality, I don't believe you would think so. Tell me what you really think."

"I can't hide it from you, Senior."

Lin Fan said quietly: "I think, it should be..."

He raised his head and looked upward.

"That's right." Gu Xinglian spread her hands: "So, why do you say that?"

"It really is?"

Lin Fan's pupils shrank.

With that said, he understood.

The Heart of the World is extremely important to the world and to people all over the world, but to a certain person, it is definitely not something that would make him fight for his life, especially for someone like Gu Xinglian who can ascend to heaven at any time if he wants.

The world is not strong enough, the adventures are not numerous enough, and the upper limit is not high enough?

Ascend directly and solve all problems once and for all. It’s not that dangerous!

Therefore, striving for the Heart of the World is definitely not the optimal solution.

There must be some reason that forced her to do so.

And if the Xianwu Continent has actually always been connected with the upper realm, and even the talents from the upper realm are the real controllers of the Xianwu Continent, then it makes sense.

Why should we be indifferent to life and death and fight for the heart of the world?

Improve the world level, thereby strengthening the world's own "defense", and make the upper realm lose control of the Xianwu Continent!

Even if it can still be controlled, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

And one day, when the Xianwu Continent has integrated enough world hearts and the 'level' is high enough, it will be able to completely break free from the control of the upper realm and become truly 'autonomous'!

"Do you understand?"

Gu Xinglian sighed softly.

"I've figured it out." Lin Fan nodded, and then said, "But new problems have emerged."

"This matter, logically speaking, should be a matter for the whole world. Even if ordinary people and powerful forces don't know about it, the nine holy places should all know about it. So, everyone should work together, not just the Wanhua Holy Land, right?"

"After all, although the Wanhua Holy Land is strong, it should not be so strong that the top powerhouses dominate the Xianwu Continent."

"That's it."

Gu Xinglian nodded and explained the details: "But in many cases, strength is not the only criterion for measuring everything. In addition to strength, there are other issues that need to be considered."

"for example···"

"Luck."

“That’s true.” Lin Fan nodded slightly. “It’s hard to explain luck, but if one’s luck is unparalleled and sweeps away everyone, then there’s really no need to consider strength at all. Even a pig can become the biggest winner.”

"Yes."

"We, the Nine Holy Lands, and of course, the Twelve Holy Lands before that, were also considering this. So, after a long period of discussion and even confrontation, we have reached the current situation."

"In the beginning, the twelve holy places fought each other for that 'admission ticket', and the fights were bloody."

"Later, we gradually calmed down and agreed that the admission tickets would be circulated among the twelve holy places."

"In order, one by one."

"Every 100,000 years, one company will be replaced. Whoever has the admission ticket will be fully responsible for the journey to the Ten Thousand Worlds Abyss. This way, everyone will have a chance and there is no need to waste their energy internally. Instead, they can accumulate strength to impact the Ten Thousand Worlds Abyss."

"Secondly, luck is something illusory. In many cases, it is not just about strength, so everyone should give it a try."

"After all, at the beginning, we, the Twelve Holy Lands, fought to the death. Many times, we relied on our strength to allow the three strongest people to enter the Abyss of Ten Thousand Worlds, but we were still wiped out most of the time."

"so···"

"It's useless to rely solely on the strongest, right?" Lin Fan understood completely.

"so···"

"I am the koi you are looking for?"

"Koi?"

"Hey, it's a lucky supporting role, the kind that follows you and provides you with a bonus to your luck."

Gu Xinglian blinked.

Damn!

It's a bit embarrassing to have my little tricks exposed.

However, she is old and wise. She smiled and said, "You don't have to underestimate yourself. In fact, your current strength is still pretty good."

"There's no need to be so pessimistic."

Lin Fan: "..."

"Your consolation is worse than no consolation." He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So, how long will it take to get in?"

"Also, who is the other teammate?"

"So you agree?" Gu Xinglian was delighted.

"Didn't I agree to it a long time ago? I won't suddenly regret it when the time comes." Lin Fan spread his hands: "But this matter is indeed more dangerous than I thought."

"By the way, can you please tell me what is the mortality rate in the Ten Thousand Worlds Abyss?"

Gu Xinglian paused slightly.

Then he said, "I don't know about other worlds."

"But our Xianwu Continent..."

"Ninety percent."

Lin Fan's scalp suddenly went numb.

Grass.

Ninety percent?!

"What about your imperial soldiers?"

“They definitely won’t bring them in.” Gu Xinglian sighed, “After all, the mortality rate is too high. The death of a strong person is not an unacceptable blow to the major sacred places, but if even the imperial soldiers who guard the religion are lost in it, it would be an unbearable loss.”

"!!!"

Lin Fan scratched his head.

Even more headache!

The imperial weapons that guard the religions, such as the Sky-viewing Mirror, are the most powerful magic weapons in the Xianwu Continent, especially the Sky-viewing Mirror, which is a radar for the entire map!

As long as there is a sky mirror...

You can anticipate the enemy's moves and the degree of danger will be greatly reduced.

As a result, I couldn’t bring it in.

"Don't you want to consider it?"

"The Sky-Viewing Mirror is different from other imperial weapons. If we take it with us, our chances of winning will increase significantly." Lin Fan tried to persuade.

“Of course I know that.” Gu Xinglian sighed, “I want to bring it in, but I have to be responsible for the entire Holy Land. If we lose the Sky-viewing Mirror and we are killed in it, the Wanhua Holy Land… will be in danger.”

"unless···"

"Unless what?"

"If you are sure that you can protect us from death, or if you are absolutely sure that you will not die in it, then I can lend you the Sky-viewing Mirror and you can refine it for the time being."

"This way..."

"As long as you don't die, even if someone else snatches it away, when the last moment comes, the Sky-Viewing Mirror will be teleported back with you in an instant."

"In this case, there is no need to worry about losing it."

"so···"

"Are you sure about this?"

Gu Xinglian looked at Lin Fan with a burning gaze.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why she approached Lin Fan.

Lin Fan is a person...

There are too many mysteries about him that are impossible to understand.

There are so many frightening methods.

Perhaps there is some incredible way to save his life. If he is so confident, he can take the risk of taking the Sky-Viewing Mirror back. In this way, the success rate will be much higher.
