Wang Linchi's blood pressure was a bit high. Who are these people? Why can't they understand what I'm saying?

The Fate Devil God was still on him. You don't know how to use Fate, but the Fate Devil God does. Between a knockoff and the genuine article, it's obvious who it would choose.

Ye Tian gave a wry smile when he heard this.

"That's unlikely, isn't it? Choosing you would be better. By possessing your body, it could directly plunder my good luck," Ye Tian offered a reasonable explanation.

"Why don't you consider this: perhaps it can't possess my body and would only end up 'feeding' me? After all, I can plunder good luck; you can't."

"And by possessing you directly, it skips the plundering process."

"Besides, you're much weaker than me. If not you, who else would it choose?" Wang Linchi retorted. Ye Tian knows his own capabilities, but he seems to have a massive blind spot.

"HISS~ Now that you put it that way, it does make some sense," Ye Tian realized, then asked, "So, how do we solve this?"

"I don't know," Wang Linchi gave a top-tier, unhelpful answer.

"Huh?"

"I really don't know. In the game, I can use a Plug in a little, but this Plug in is also provided by the Game System. In reality, I'm just an ordinary person." Wang Linchi spread his hands. "Even the Game System can't find an answer, so what can I do?"

He was telling the truth; he indeed couldn't deal with the Fate Devil God. But there's no need to worry. Even if the Fate Devil God successfully smuggled itself into reality, it would be suppressed to its absolute limit. In its current state, to put it politely, it's a wisp of a remnant soul; to put it bluntly, it's just a string of good luck. Even if it could act, there's no environment for it to do so. It can only stir up trouble within Ye Tian.

"So, you mean it's up to me?" Ye Tian's eyes widened.

"Yes, you'll have to work hard. After all, you're the protagonist. You probably wouldn't die even if you jumped off a building, let alone being parasitized," Wang Linchi offered, attempting to console him.

"But... the one parasitizing me is also a protagonist! Why don't you return my good luck? Once I overcome this ordeal, I'll not only give it back to you but also include the Fate Devil God's good luck as a bonus," Ye Tian said, brazenly.

"Ah, this... You'll have to ask the Saint Master about that; I can't do anything. Besides, have you ever heard of a Bloodsucking and energy-draining effect that returns what it took?" Wang Linchi's implication was clear: You're daydreaming, kid. Things that fall into my hands? There's no way I'm spitting them back out.

Ye Tian's face fell. This was indeed a difficult situation.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with his protagonist's good luck. It was mainly because if he had that good luck, he could go from being evenly matched to having the upper hand, significantly increasing his chances of winning.

But hearing Wang Linchi say he couldn't "spit it out," Ye Tian knew it was a lost cause.

In his eyes, the Saint Master absorbing his good luck was indeed as Wang Linchi described, similar to a Bloodsucking effect. His own attacks also had a Bloodsucking component; once absorbed, it became his Health, impossible to return to others.

"Wait, that's not right! If the Saint Master's attacks can plunder good luck, then the Fate Devil God, having been beaten by the Saint Master so many times, must have less good luck than I do!" Ye Tian quickly realized.

"Er... that is indeed the case. However, it won't be much less than yours, at most one-thousandth less. Because apart from the first surprise attack where it lost more, it was on guard afterward and only lost insignificant amounts."

"It's like when you voluntarily gave it to me before, which is why I got 0.1. Now, if you're unwilling, even if I beat you to death, I wouldn't be able to leech much good luck," Wang Linchi added, essentially telling Ye Tian not to get his hopes up.

"Every bit helps. I'm not asking for much," Ye Tian replied, not too concerned about the specifics. Any advantage was good enough.

"So, what's your plan for now? Continue with the events?" Ye Tian asked again.

"Yes, continue with the events. But after this, the quality of the events will likely drop significantly, and there will probably be fewer dungeons too." Wang Linchi wasn't planning to head to the level 70 Abyssal Dungeons just yet.

He was already level 63. The bulk of the Experience that got him to this level was thanks to the Fate Devil God.

The Fate Devil God's death was attributed to Wang Linchi and Ye Tian. As an Abyss Offspring, it naturally yielded a vast amount of Experience, not to mention Abyss Crystals and other rewards.

After the event ends, I'll liquidate the rewards, and then it won't be too late to go.

"The event will likely change. They'll probably add level 20 Abyssal Dungeons as a supplement. Moreover, Player development will probably not be as gentle as before; many mandatory measures will be introduced," Ye Tian said, based on his experience.

That's how it was in my past life. When the game began its Fusion with reality, many compulsory measures were gradually updated, indirectly reminding and urging everyone to become stronger. However, the difference is that such a severe incident didn't occur at this point in my previous life. Therefore, it's logical for the Game System to implement corresponding compulsory measures in advance to cope with it.

"These compulsory measures have nothing to do with us; they will only affect the middle and lower-tier Players," Wang Linchi conjectured. He believed these compulsory actions wouldn't affect high-end Players like them.

"Alright, there's no point talking about this now. I'll log out first and take a break. This battle has completely worn me out." Ye Tian was indeed exhausted. He had undoubtedly been under the most pressure, having to attack, manage, coordinate, and more. To say he wasn't tired would be a lie; it was primarily mental exhaustion.

Ye Tian logged out decisively, without any hesitation. Wang Linchi, however, wondered if this was Ye Tian's own decision or if the Fate Devil God had interfered.

Forget it, there's no solution anyway. I'm the only one left. I'll log out too and give myself a check-up.

Although I think the Fate Devil God is on Ye Tian, I can't rule out the possibility of it trying some counter-ploy. As for not being able to detect it, that's unlikely. The Three Form Saint Master, Soul Resemblance, Soul Seeds, and so on that I possess are all weakened versions and can't exert their true power. If it were outside my body, I truly couldn't interfere. But if it's inside my body, it shouldn't even dream of escaping my grasp.

He remembered the Fate Devil God once saying that his Fanciful and Fickle was a rule-based ability.

And Fanciful and Fickle is merely a derivative of Soul Shadow · Book of Records. This implies that the Three Form Saint Master, the Four Mythological Soul Seeds, and other Soul Seed Pages are also rule-based abilities. Judging by its tone, this ability must be extraordinary; otherwise, it wouldn't have claimed he could possess it. Although the development of the Soul Aspect World was lacking, Soul Resemblance and its derived abilities seemed to have immense Potential, only to be squandered by the Dajing Dynasty itself. As long as one enters the Transcendent stage, everyone becomes rule-level. How could that not be powerful? The very fact that Soul Resemblances can evolve proves there's no such thing as a useless Soul Resemblance. It might be weak initially, but not necessarily in the later stages. Unfortunately, because this type of ability didn't meet the needs of the higher-ups from the start, it was abandoned.

An old man was feeling a long-lost vitality. The power of the Abyss... it's truly incredible. Since he gained power, youth had gradually left him, and with it, his lifespan.

But he wasn't willing to accept it. He had only just obtained power, and then he got sick. He couldn't enjoy women, nor could he indulge in fine food. What was the point of power then?

Until one day, he heard the whispers of the Abyss.

If he could use his power to cause a main game city to fall and become an Abyssal Gap area, he would obtain the Immortality he craved.

He did know some inside information about the game "God-given World," but faced with Immortality, he didn't hesitate to betray Wanxuan City.

As for the consequences? What did they have to do with him? A few natives dying, or Chen Country losing its edge in the game and forfeiting substantial benefits—these were trivial matters to him. Betraying Chen Country for profit wasn't new to him; collaborating with other nations to strike at political rivals was practically routine. He was a politician, not a loyal minister. Profit was everything.

"After this storm passes, I'll continue to contact the Abyss. If I can exchange other main game cities for power and wealth, I'll emigrate immediately..."

Just as he was lost in this beautiful dream, a prompt box suddenly appeared before his eyes, startling him.

[Power of Chaos detected. Betrayer successfully anchored. Executing obliteration program...]

"No, no, no, wait! This is a misunderstanding! I was forced! Listen to my explanation—"

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, his entire being disintegrated. He had connections, influence, and numerous legitimate-sounding excuses to evade the law.

However, the Game System required no evidence, nor did it care for personal connections or reasons. As long as you colluded with the Abyss, you would be executed directly, with no room for negotiation.
