Chapter 1670: Chapter 1670

After receiving the mission, Du You remained calm and composed. Knowing that others had managed to deal with seventh-tier individuals in the past, Du You had to be extra cautious. Especially recently, when he had the Shadow Council as his enemy.

Du You had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction and dislike toward the Shadow Council and had explicitly shown his unwillingness to cooperate with them. Who knows how they would interpret that?

No matter what, he had to be careful. Du You didn’t step forward himself but had the company keep an eye on them.

No one knew how Li Minglu accomplished it, but within just three days, the world coordinates Du You wanted were in his hands.

"Let’s set off immediately. So much time has passed; who knows if those people might escape."

"They probably won’t escape. They chose such a world, and according to the information, they haven’t left immediately, which means they’re setting something up here. It could be a trap or arrangements to enhance their strength. Either way, we must be cautious when we arrive."

"Yucha, you’re always so cautious. Alright, I get it."

Du You smiled but didn’t take it too seriously. They were just a few desperate individuals without backing from a major world, so how could they possibly develop further?

Du You directly placed the world coordinates in his hand and then dissolved them. The world coordinates were now in Du You’s possession.

Indeed, the coordinates were sensed directly through the Law, and the world channel wasn’t opened directly. Otherwise, opening the channel might alert the adversaries to his presence.

"Let’s go. I’ll tell you the location, and you’ll follow me."

With that said, the space fluctuated, and the three of them vanished. Amidst the Void Turbulence, after an unclear amount of time had passed, they appeared outside the target world. Without directly penetrating the channel, no one would know they had arrived.

Staring at the dim light of the world, Du You frowned; it seemed that something was wrong with this world.

"This brightness isn’t even up to a sixth-tier world. If not for the emitted aura, I’d doubt it’s a seventh-tier world." This kind of world had no value for conquering.

It’s unknown whether anyone has established a territory in this world. For those below the seventh-tier, this world is quite precious. It reaches the seventh-tier level, but its inherent danger is likely less than some sixth-tier worlds.

In such a world, it should be relatively easy to upgrade one’s territory to the seventh-tier—an excellent opportunity for advancement.

Du You and the two sisters both possessed the Spatial Law, so bypassing this world’s surveillance was doable. Plus, this world was very weak, with hollow Laws, allowing Du You and the two sisters to construct a route in just a few minutes. Following this route, the three concealed their aura and easily entered the world.

Upon entering the world, Du You frowned even more deeply.

The world was permeated by an extremely peculiar aura, as if on the verge of collapse. Yet, a power persisted in sustaining the world’s existence, leaving the situation unclear.

"Yucha, have you ever encountered a description of this kind?" Du You inquired.

Lin Yucha frowned and said, "There was an instance before, but it was classified as a forbidden technique. Back then, someone considered it a special method to avoid the hassle of nurturing worlds and not wanting to destroy them."

"They used special means to thoroughly control a world, fixed its framework, and then extracted its Origin. Leaving only a bit of Origin along with the fixed world framework ensured the world wouldn’t perish. Once the world’s power waned and its Origin re-consolidated, they’d extract it again, until the world teetered on the brink of collapse."

"This method generates a lot of resentment, and those using it often go mad. Once they lose sanity, the impact is significant, hence it’s completely forbidden in our side."

Earth also has many forbidden techniques, all causing great harm to the world itself or oneself.

If anyone is found using forbidden techniques, they’d be hunted down. Most of these techniques belong to the seventh-tier or above; those below the seventh-tier are not qualified to use them.

Du You nodded: "Perhaps those three brothers know this trick. The situation resembles what you described."

In Du You’s perception, the world’s Origin is nearing exhaustion. Normally, this kind of world will either enter the Dharma Ending Age leading to collapse or downgrade.

Proactively downgrading is also a way to preserve existence, yet the current world seems amiss.

The world is extraordinarily stable, almost unbelievably so, preventing downgrades even if it wanted to. Still, the Origin is insufficient.

In this situation, with the World Origin still in an activated state, it cannot enter the Dharma Ending Age to preserve itself, nor can it collapse. Consequently, the world’s strength will continuously retract.

Part of it converts back to Origin, but each conversion inflicts significant harm on the world. Eventually, only an outer shell remains.

This method reminded Du You of extracting gall from a live bear; if this world were a bear, they’d be similar.

No wonder the usually dispassionate world consciousness would amass so much resentment. It’s not just the world’s living beings, but the entire world generating it.

Only resentment of this caliber can drive those above the seventh-tier to madness so easily.

"With such a method, no wonder those three individuals continue to enhance their strength. Moreover, without Earth’s protection, Professionals outside make enemies everywhere, so improving without special means is nearly impossible. Their strength may be trickier than anticipated."

Indeed tricky, Du You still didn’t think anyone of the same tier could match him.

No matter how strong the adversary is, they can at most reach his level. Eighth-tier is impossible. Were they truly eighth-tier, they wouldn’t have come to such a world to hide.

Besides, eighth-tier individuals, even Earth’s traitors, are rarely pursued. The strength at this level is formidable; getting trapped oneself isn’t unusual.
