Chapter 507: Chapter 507

507: Chapter 487: Start 507: Chapter 487: Start “How is the situation?”

“It’s terrible, but not as terrible as it could be.”

Although it sounded like a riddle, it was the reality in front of Lu Ping’an.

This was the first time the “Hungry Ghost Blood Pool” had been put into use, so Lu Ping’an naturally wanted to observe the results and the aftermath.

The blood sea had spread, and the hungry bloodstain communities that had been hibernating for a long time had eaten away everything on the surface of the earth.

However, it seemed to stop there.

The bloodstains did not extend to the edges of the forest and beyond, leaving no trace of them…

These bloodstains are not magic plants adept at long-distance migration, and their adaptability to the environment is rather ordinary.

The exceptionally fertile Land of Life in the courtyard could solve many problems, and the local soil should not be fertile enough to support the bloodstains.

Without enough extra nutrients (plants, animals), bloodstains were unlikely to increase in value indefinitely…

Of course, if this situation were to occur, it could probably become a new disaster.

Although the current bloodstains have eaten everything in front of them, they seem to have reached their limit and do not have the tendency to expand endlessly.

At this moment, Lu Ping’an somewhat understood why the “Customs” that came and went would classify “magic plants” and “animals” so finely, as it was indeed risky if they do not give due attention.

“Alright, let’s return to the Schlei Domain.”

Most people crammed into their own courtyards.

Lu Ping’an wanted to hitch a ride with Catherine and Zhi Xi’s tailwind, as using the Holy Flame’s flying ability was extremely convenient, and their Qi Yun, which could awaken such an ability as if it were an apocalypse, was also cheating.

However, after just barely taking flight, she plummeted and crashed directly into the safety forest area below.

Zhi Xi disintegrated, revealing a female knight drenched in sweat.

Her face was pale like a corpse, her body soaked in sweat, and the magic lines of Holy Fire appeared on her body.

As soon as the armor opened, the burning-hot steam suggested that it was not a comfortable environment inside.

“Do you have a fever?”

Even without touching her, just the high temperature still radiating from her body indicated that her current situation was very bad.

There was no professional healer in the courtyard, so the Holy Flame Priest and her mother handled it for a while, and the results were quite terrible.

“Her organs have been overdrawn; her body has been burnt out.

It’s difficult for her to survive tonight…” Her mother, Marian, tears streaming down her face, could not believe the conclusion she came to.

Breaking through at the last moment does not come without a price; it consumes not only the body but also the soul.

And the torture and hardship over several hours had squeezed her body and soul to their limits, and her organs could no longer withstand the unbearable pressure.

Perhaps this is what they call a person with heavenly luck…

when you are useful to the “world,” you are invincible, but once the “world” is finished with you, everything else becomes unimportant.

After the protagonists in legendary stories finish their adventures, who cares about their real endings?

But at this moment, Lu Ping’an was here.

After confirming that she had suffered a fatal injury, Lu Ping’an used the highest limited “installment” without hesitation.

“How did I…” A miraculous miracle appeared in reality, and the female knight who was about to die instantly recovered, even able to speak.

At least, from what could be seen with the naked eye, the recovery level of this extraordinary scene was unbelievable.

Previously on the battlefield, what Lu Ping’an used was merely “healing” for physical injuries.

Let alone Earth’s doctors, even in this world, many ability users can achieve this.

However, such abilities are generally incapable of opposing “natural aging” or “natural death”…

To twist the rules of nature and its laws, one would have to start at the Rule-level.

This scene was extremely shocking to many people…

after all, who wouldn’t want to live a little longer when they were out and about?

“My ability can only divide your condition into six parts.

At the exact same time in each of the next six months, you’ll experience the return of one-sixth of the injury…

Remember those who accepted my battlefield healing before, you all have a third of the injury returning every other day, so it’s best to prepare for healing in advance.”

Lu Ping’an explained his ability so that no one would continue to make a disastrous mistake.

On the other hand, he was thinking about the shortcomings of his own courtyard…

The lack of high-level Healers weakens their sustainable combat capabilities.

“…Forget it, let’s take it slow.

Healers are treasures in every family.”

Without Healers, Magic Alchemists can also make do, at least some of the healing potions that Miss Rou brings out are of a high grade…

just a bit expensive.

Having dealt with this minor episode, Lu Ping’an needed to address more pressing matters promptly.

“Has everyone signed the confidentiality agreement?

I’ll just say it straight.

I’m interested in recruiting all of you…”

Having chosen “Plan Zero”, Lu Ping’an had naturally made extensive plans and prepared accordingly.

First of all, there was a stringent confidentiality contract, followed by a direct binding of interests.

The strength of these people before him is not bad.

Lu Ping’an planned on a long-term cooperation, perhaps it is better to show his cards a bit earlier?

At least now, Lu Ping’an held the ship tickets and controlled most of the people’s way back home.

Before returning, he had enough time to negotiate with his companions one by one and sign a more effective long-term cooperation contract…

In a sense, this was akin to getting on the ship first and paying the fare later.

Well, let’s go for a more stringent confidentiality contract and provide valuable guarantees at the same time.

Of course, I won’t prevent you from returning to Earth just because of this…

Hmm, you better believe it.

Using a combination of soft and hard approaches, Lu Ping’an was confident in winning everyone over to his side, especially when he could actually provide what these companions needed.

What a mercenary group needs is none other than resources and money…

All of which can be transformed into their capital for growth.

It’s not just a simple desire to become stronger, but in fact, a professional who has reached a certain level cannot stop.

If you don’t become stronger, you’ll either become a monster or face death.

The others weren’t too different.

Given what Lu Ping’an was offering now, there weren’t many “Contractors” who could refuse.

If some people have other ideas, or even harmful ones?

Heh, now in the Exotic Realm, as long as the contracts can be detected, having more lost Otherworldly guests isn’t a big deal.

Playing their cards in the Exotic Realm was part of the plan.

This was the best place to do such a thing…

Even if something went wrong halfway, Lu Ping’an, with the initiative in his hands, could handle it.

Lu Ping’an just didn’t expect to reach this point after only the first month, which was beyond his expectations.

Of course, there are some risks in this, but for the current overall situation, the risks are not as big as they were before.

Previously, Earth was like “raising worms”, with the gates tightly closed, and gods fighting each other openly and secretly.

Lower- and middle-level professionals had few chances to climb up the ladder; a single valuable item related to gods and higher forces would attract a group of people to fight and even lead to big shots stepping into the fray.

just by estimating a little, Lu Ping’an had three Rule-Level items in his hands.

Although the quality is clearly mysterious, this is at least a step up from what they had before.

With the doors wide open, internal strife remains, but it is unlikely to be the main theme, especially when it brings additional risks and attention.

This is something that Big Cat understood first.

Previously, the Life-system Church would fight fiercely for a tiny bit of “Divine Right” or “Divine Position,” and official mediation wouldn’t work.

Now, who dares to provoke the authorities?

Moreover, when the gates of the world are wide open, the original treasures available for exploration become continuous sources of income, like the “Sun God” that many big shots are competing for this time.

“I now understand why they didn’t relentlessly pursue my legacy.

They turned their attention outside the domain.

Instead of a Life-system Quasi-God’s legacy, it’s more rewarding to hunt down a weakened Real God of Life.

Becoming a god in the Otherworld may bring some trouble in the long run, but it’s much easier than becoming one on Earth,” that’s what Big Cat said at the time.

“Maybe we can walk a bit faster.

You’re not the weakling you were at the beginning,” Big Cat’s words were very straightforward.

In the past, they faced a fourth-tier opponent like an ultimate boss battle.

Now, a weakened God Envoy just fell in front of everyone.

As long as Lu Ping’an moved fast enough, he would be able to convert resources into combat power before the risks arrived.

Changes in the situation both inside and outside the domain, as well as the overall environment, prompted Lu Ping’an to make up his mind that maybe he could take bigger steps.

At least from the many temporary agreements now in his hands, and the obvious acquiescence of everyone, this time could already be considered a successful one.
