"Can you tell me now? About the intelligence regarding that blood rain."
After closing the live stream, Bai Pu asked.
"I don't know much, after all, I'm not an Advanced Awakened yet."
Crazy Zen smiled slightly, "I know two things. First, that blood rain signifies a Spirit Realm war. It's a war between our Spirit Realm and other Spirit Realms! You must have received information about the changes in the Spirit Realm Will's matching mechanism, right?"
Bai Pu nodded and said, "Yes, it's said that forming teams is easier now. Teams with fewer than three members don't require Spiritual Points, and those with more than three and fewer than ten have reduced costs."
This was information fed back by other Awakened from the Divine Strategy Army who had entered the Spirit Realm recently, which Li Ling had helped Bai Pu gather.
Crazy Zen continued, "One important aspect of the change in the matching mechanism is that Awakened who enter at the same time have a higher chance of appearing in the same area, regardless of the relevance of their anchor points."
According to previous rules, the Spirit Realm Will preferred to assign Awakened with high anchor relevance to the same area within the Spirit Realm to perform tasks, during which cooperation and confrontation would occur.
If two Awakened have low anchor relevance, even if matched to the same Spirit Realm, there's a high chance they'll be assigned to vastly different areas — for instance, in the Heart Demon: Oath World, Black Tortoise Mountain Range and Eastern Wilderness Forest Sea are two areas far apart within the same Spirit Realm.
The current rule changes seem to emphasize cooperation or confrontational dynamics among Awakened, assigning them to the same area even if anchor relevance is low.
For instance, in Bai Pu's first world: Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin, he participated in the trial holding the Evolutionary Source Blood as an anchor.
Due to the trial task's uniqueness, it's generally not intersecting with other Awakened.
As hunters, if Poison Thorn Squad doesn't bring another tube of Source Blood and instead uses an ordinary Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin World ticket, they can't possibly be assigned to the same area as Bai Pu.
At least one of the two will be assigned to Eastern Europe or even Russian territories, participating in the main story task against the Slavs and Blood Ring Fortress.
Just searching for Bai Pu would take weeks, not to mention that they need to complete the main task first! Destroying Bai Pu's trial would be a nearly impossible mission.
Precisely because Poison Thorn Squad brought the Source Blood, based on the high relevance of Evolutionary Source Blood, they were forcibly matched to the same area with trial-taker Bai Pu.
In Bai Pu's second world, the Heart Demon: Oath World, he holds the Worn Sword Scabbard as an anchor ticket. The sword scabbard is actually from a Wild Warrior in the Black Tortoise Mountain Range.
Experts sent by the Superstar Alliance to the Heart Demon: Oath World, like Owl and Glow, also used anchors dropped by Wild Warriors from the Black Tortoise Mountain Range for matching, ensuring they were synchronized with Bai Pu to the Black Tortoise Mountain Range area.
Now under the new rule changes, just holding a ticket for the same world and participating in matching at the same time results in a high probability of being matched together, no longer considering the relevance among anchors.
If this rule had been in place earlier, even if the Awakened of the Superstar Alliance held anchors from Eastern Wilderness Forest Sea, Southern Ash Sea, and other areas, they'd have a high chance of syncing into the same region with Bai Pu.
What Bai Pu would encounter possibly wouldn't just be Ghost Light Squad and Owl, but more Awakened squads from the Superstar Alliance!
Bai Pu said, "I'm aware of all this. Is there anything I don't know?"
Crazy Zen laughed, "Have you noticed that those at the peak of Awakened power have mysteriously disappeared?"
"You mean they've been recruited?"
Bai Pu also noticed the news — this year's "Sword Saint War" and "Power King War" were postponed, whether it was the current Sword Saint or Power King, or candidates qualified to challenge their titles, all were occupied.
At the time, Bai Pu found it strange because it's normal for one person to be occupied, but for all peak Awakened to be occupied is unusual.
It turns out they were summoned by the Spirit Realm Will!
Crazy Zen slightly nodded, "Peak powerhouses are battling in the main battlegrounds of the Spirit Realm war. We intermediate and low-level Awakened cannot remain unaffected."
Bai Pu frowned, "Our level shouldn't be enough to access the main battlefield, right."
Even if they entered, their impact would be negligible given the power disparity.
Crazy Zen said, "This brings me to my second point. In intermediate and low-level worlds, we still have to fight against Awakened from hostile Spirit Realms. And I'm very sure that the victories and defeats in intermediate, low-level worlds have a significant impact on the main battlefield, with countless intermediate and low-level battlefields affecting the greater trend of the main battlefield!"
Bai Pu nodded, "In this level of war, if we contribute... I don't think the Spirit Realm Will would be stingy."
"That's right, so I want to team up with you." Crazy Zen smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be close to undergoing a secondary profession change, right?"
Crazy Zen could guess that Bai Pu was close to undergoing a secondary profession change, which Bai Pu didn't find surprising.
These family heirs often have intelligence teams to help analyze information and develop strategies.
For the Awakened they're interested in, whether an opponent or an ally, one or two intelligence analysts can easily deduce from Bai Pu's awakening journey, in worlds like Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin, and scenes like Three Kingdoms: Chibi, to calculate Bai Pu may have reached Level 3 full experience in the Heart Demon World.
Of course, the key evidence was Bai Pu obtaining Primordial Heart Tissue in the Demon Abyss.
Although Bai Pu didn't admit it, in the eyes of large forces with well-informed networks, it's not a secret.
"It's like rocket speed. Rarely do your combat specializations keep pace with your level; it seems your comprehension is very high."
Seeing Bai Pu nod, Crazy Zen first sighed and then said, "I'll enter the Spirit Realm with you to help you complete your secondary profession change."
"The secondary profession change should be completed independently." Bai Pu hasn't been idle recently, and has checked a lot of information about secondary profession changes.
Crazy Zen chuckled and said, "I know, I won't get in your way. The profession change task itself must be done by you, but I can help handle some... troubles beyond the task."
What Crazy Zen referred to was the snipers from the Superstar Alliance.
If Crazy Zen could guess that Bai Pu's next world might involve a secondary profession change, being the major adversary, and the "owner" of the Primordial Heart Tissue, the Superstar Alliance could guess it too.
According to the norms of profession change, the Spirit Realm Wonder Bai Pu holds to trigger the secondary profession change — namely the Primordial Heart Tissue, will become Bai Pu's anchor the next time he enters the Spirit Realm.
Simply put, the next time Bai Pu enters the Spirit Realm, he will definitely enter the first trial world he entered — Flesh and Blood Plague!
However, it will not be the Low-level area like Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin, but a higher level, more difficult Mid-level area — Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration!
The Superstar Alliance won't sit by and watch Bai Pu grow stronger. After the big disturbance in the Demon Abyss event, Bai Pu's threat level in their minds has certainly been elevated to an extremely high degree!
In the Heart Demon: Oath world, when dealing with Bai Pu, the Superstar Alliance dispatched notorious Awakened criminals such as Owl, Glow, and some ordinary Awakened to support them.
This was when Bai Pu bought two tickets, inducing the Superstar Alliance to split their forces. It was also restricted by anchor relevance rules, causing many elite squads of the Superstar Alliance to be scattered into other areas of the Heart Demon: Oath World.
This time, the Superstar Alliance won't split their forces, and the Spirit Realm rules have also changed in a way unfavorable to Bai Pu.
So this time in the Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration world, Bai Pu will likely have a head-on collision with the main lineup of Mid-level Awakened from the Superstar Alliance.
"I have a question. Why are you helping me like this?"
Bai Pu stared into Crazy Zen's eyes. He didn't believe in unsolicited goodwill; it's a highly vigilant nature fostered by the world's cold treatment since his birth.
