At this moment, the Supreme Crystal Stone was still shining, symbolizing the supreme treasure of the world's highest power, and seemed even more alluring.

[Zhang Juan (greedy): I want to use the Supreme Crystal Stone now! I want to gain greater power and rule this planet!]

"Has she gone insane?"

Lin Qianxuan immediately spotted the issue from the screen.

He promptly input a command, intending to have the game character snatch the crystal from Zhang Juan.

(Snatch the Supreme Crystal Stone from Zhang Juan's hand.)

The game character executed the command, directly reaching for the Supreme Crystal Stone.

Zhang Juan sidestepped to dodge the game character's grab, then protected the Supreme Crystal Stone, watching the game character warily.

[Zhang Juan (angry): This is my possession!!]

"Is this thing the Magic Ring?" Lin Qianxuan retorted.

[Lin Qianxuan (worried): Sister Juan, it's beginning to affect you, quickly get rid of it.]

Hearing the game character's words, Zhang Juan was momentarily stunned, her expression somewhat conflicted, but she immediately pressed the Supreme Crystal Stone to her forehead.

"Buzz~!"

A buzzing sound, and the Supreme Crystal Stone emitted an orange-red light, beginning to merge with Zhang Juan.

Lin Qianxuan knew something was wrong at a glance and directly input a command to interrupt this behavior.

The game character reached for the Supreme Crystal Stone on Zhang Juan's forehead, but the stone's light flashed, and instantly, the game character's right arm turned to nothingness.

"Damn!"

No time to marvel at the thing's destructive power, the next moment, the Supreme Crystal Stone had vanished, and dense orange-red patterns appeared on Zhang Juan's forehead, spreading towards her entire body.

These patterns resembled veins, constantly flickering with flowing light, as if transmitting energy throughout her body.

In an instant, these orange-red patterns covered her entire body.

[Zhang Juan (looking at you indifferently): The sacrifice is a millennia-old contract with human civilization. Please do not interfere, outsider!]

Lin Qianxuan was stunned!

Completely stunned!

He knew it wouldn't be that simple.

The Supreme Crystal Stone turned out to be a living entity, and it could possess others.

However, the game wasn't over yet, meaning Zhang Juan wasn't dead?

Yes, Yi Su could still flee, this kind of possession only lasts a thousand years.

No wonder no one stays as Supreme, with things like this, you'd want to run. Who would want to stay?

The battle for Supreme is just a sacrifice, and the Supreme is only a vessel for the Supreme Crystal Stone's possession.

This is truly absurd!

Lin Qianxuan calmed down, organized his words, and planned to gather more information from the other party.

[Lin Qianxuan (confused): You're not Sister Juan, who are you?]

[Zhang Juan (looking at you): You can call me "Yuan".]

Lin Qianxuan wasn't interested in its name; he was more interested in what this entity was, its strength, and if there were other forces behind it.

[Lin Qianxuan (curiously): Where do you come from? Aliens? Higher-dimensional civilization? Or existence from another world?]

[Yuan: I am not from the outside, Supreme Star is my body.]

"A planet turned spirit?"

Lin Qianxuan blinked, feeling incredulous.

However, it seemed this entity didn't have many emotions, and it answered whatever was asked, making it easy to gather information.

So Lin Qianxuan wasn't in a hurry to fight, though given the previous contact with the Supreme Crystal Stone resulted in a lost arm, it seemed unlikely he could win anyway.

[Lin Qianxuan (puzzled): What's your goal?]

[Yuan: To obtain a vessel, guide human civilization, and evolve mutually.]

[Lin Qianxuan (confused): Mutual evolution? What's the contract about?]

[Yuan: Human civilization was excessively chaotic in the past, hindering development. I formed a cooperation with human civilization, holding a sacrifice every thousand years. The deceased humans serve as my sustenance, and I condense a part of my consciousness, choosing the most exceptional human vessel from the sacrifice to descend, using my power to advance human civilization. This cooperation has lasted eighteen thousand years.]

"So that's the truth?"

Lin Qianxuan appeared enlightened.

No wonder the first councilor was so strong yet didn't participate in the battle for Supreme.

Possibly, he's not the only one aware of the truth; many experts likely wouldn't choose to participate.

After all, winning means handing over one's body to the world consciousness for a thousand years, who could accept that?

Now Lin Qianxuan noticed Yuan's expression beginning to show emotion; was the secretion of bodily hormones influencing its thinking?

[Lin Qianxuan (curious): Do you need to eat humans? Human energy doesn't mean much to you, right? Can't you act without a human vessel? Can't you possess other animals?]

The energy contained within a planet, how could humans possibly compare?

So Yuan's consumption of humans puzzled Lin Qianxuan.

It's not like this is a dark myth necessitating monsters to eat people to exacerbate conflicts.

[Yuan (looking at you): I don't eat humans, nor do I need their energy. I'm merely accumulating their rule information. Superpower is a peculiar thing, representing a manifestation of world rules themselves. Only intelligent life can perceive and obtain it. By absorbing this information, I can evolve further. As for borrowing human vessels, it's a compromise to not escalate civilizational conflicts. And while human vessels aren't the only choice, ordinary creatures can't bear my vast consciousness, even the victory's best human vessel can only bear a minuscule portion of my consciousness.]

[Lin Qianxuan (inquiring): How long will you use Sister Juan's body? A thousand years?]

[Yuan (looking at you): This vessel is different from previous human vessels. It's very potent, very unique, better than my original body. I will gradually input my entire consciousness into it, erase her original spiritual will after reading all her memories, and completely change identity. I will then be human. I've seen from her memories that we share a peculiar relationship. If you need, I can maintain this social relationship with you. I'm also intrigued by the other world you reside in.]

"To hell with it! So you're just going to take the seat and never leave?"

Lin Qianxuan's expression turned grim.

The previous vessels were only used for a thousand years, but when it came to Zhang Juan, it didn't intend to leave and even planned further invasion of Earth through the game character.

(Look at its Interference Value.)

Lin Qianxuan entered a command, intending to check Yuan's strength.

The numbers rose rapidly, quickly breaking through a trillion, ten trillion, hundred trillion....

How much?

"Three thousand plus teras? Damn it!"

Lin Qianxuan's eyes widened, his emotions slightly out of control.
