It seems Gongsun played a word game with these guys, or perhaps simply refrained from telling the truth, tricking this group into making a contract.

The result was that this foolish group got utterly hoodwinked by Gongsun, bringing upon themselves a disaster of extinction.

The only surviving group is perhaps the one outside the tower now, and they are still waiting for Lin Ye.

However, those Dimension Wanderers outside have long forgotten the history of their group; the events are too ancient, and no matter how they are passed down from generation to generation, inevitably some things will be forgotten.

Moreover, because these beings tend to have transparent thinking, they often habitually let their minds wander, cultivating a collectively rough-edged character over time.

The one inside the Tank Brain is likely the one who thought the most in this group.

Unfortunately, his conclusion brought about a devastating blow to his own group.

This sufficiently explains why this task requires a Space Mage to trigger, yet the BOSS is explicitly designed to counter Space Mages.

Gongsun's intentions are truly malicious.

While plotting against the Dimension Wanderers, he also incidentally set a trap for the Space Mages of other future groups.

If it weren't Lin Ye here this time, any other Space Mage would have a high chance of falling into this task.

It could only be said that back then, Gongsun, no matter how cunning, couldn't foresee the arrival of an anomaly like Lin Ye in the distant future.

A meticulously calculated trap was thus disturbed by the presence of a troublemaker like Lin Ye.

"So, how should we resolve all this next?" Lin Ye asked.

"Kill me, and everything will end..." Tank Brain straightforwardly replied.

From his mental fluctuations, there was not even a hint of struggle, evidently, he had long been ready for this.

"As one of the creators of the contract, unless I die, the Filters will continue to emerge, and my people will never find peace..." he added.

Lin Ye looked at Tank Brain for a long moment, then nodded, "No problem, as you wish, I will kill you as per your request."

"Thank you, stranger... If possible, please give my poor people a place to establish themselves. It's the last thing I can do for them as their lord."

Lin Ye fell silent.

No wonder the people of this group fully agreed with his obviously unreliable ideas.

Turns out he was the Lord!

But it makes sense considering that besides the dimension storm outside, the only entrance requirement for this tower is the identity of a lord.

It can be said, these guys have truly straightforward thinking...

Even the entrance is so casually guarded, requiring only the verification of a 'lord's' identity, regardless of which corner of the world the lord comes from.

"This is the only reward I can offer you, I hope you don't mind!" Tank Brain added.

Subsequently, a rune gradually manifested in front of Lin Ye.

"Spiritual Control..."

Lin Ye saw this skill and was speechless.

The function of this skill is to control targets with weaker spiritual power, making them act according to one's thoughts. The greater the spiritual power difference, the higher the success rate.

This totally leaves it uncertain whether Tank Brain's people were actually controlled or just unconditionally accepting his arrangements.

Nevertheless, it didn't matter; Lin Ye rather liked this skill.

The idiom "The devil is easy to deal with, but his minions are tricky" is something Lin Ye understood well.

With this skill, many things could become much simpler...

Moreover, most importantly, as the Pope of the Holy Flame Sect, this skill was simply too fitting!

With Lin Ye's spiritual power, this skill could undoubtedly showcase divine-level effects in his hands.

Even when facing opponents of higher levels, if unable to control them, it's still extremely practical for ambushing, disrupting their thought process or spellcasting, and such.

This can be said to be a top-level skill for Lin Ye indeed.

"Come on! As long as you break this crystal that has imprisoned me for countless years, everything will be over!" Tank Brain said again, his voice resolute.

Lin Ye remained silent, waved his hand, and a Dimension Slash was cast.

Under the sharp spatial fluctuations, the spindle-like crystal in front of Lin Ye was directly sliced into two halves.

"Boom!"

The two subsequent blasts followed, the two halves of the crystal burst entirely, and the brain within completely turned into a mush.

"Thank you..."

Lin Ye heard the last note of gratitude, and then a prompt appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations, you have completed the hidden task 'Transparent Brain'!]

Finally, at this moment, Lin Ye saw the task completion notification.

He glanced around, intending to leave, but then a somewhat peculiar-looking helmet floated nearby.

"What's this..."

Lin Ye, with a thought, manipulated the space to ripple, pushing the helmet toward himself.

"Thought Concealing Helmet prototype?"

This was probably the helmet that the Tank Brain mentioned before; he developed it intending to block mental fluctuations, resulting in a head-exploding artifact?

An information box appeared before Lin Ye's eyes.

"As long as a stable array is inscribed on it, it won't resonate due to mental vibrations and cause an explosion?" Lin Ye found himself at a loss for words.

Unfortunately, at that time, the Tank Brain's people likely hadn't mastered similar array technology, or there simply wasn't an Array Master in the group; otherwise, these helmets could be completely usable finished products.

But alas, missing just a smidgen, these helmets turned into a head-exploding artifact, leading Tank Brain and his people astray under Gongsun's manipulation.

"Take these helmets with you..."

Lin Ye looked around. There seemed to be quite a few of these helmet prototypes; he directly activated Devouring, collecting all these helmets into his stash.

Having handled these matters, Lin Ye dusted off his hands, took a step forward, opened a dimensional passage, and leapt through the portal, leaving this place.

Outside the tower, the Dimension Wanderers eagerly awaiting Lin Ye's return let out waves of cheers upon seeing him return safely!
