In Negary's base, muddy masses of dead and rotten germs were all over the place.
Lan Shan sat still, silently waiting.
〖 So you've made your choice huh? Fang Ze 〗
Negary, who had taken refuge in Lan Shan's body, lightly chuckled, but it wasn't outside of Negary's expectation. They were too self-assured about Fang Ze; after all, as the 'King of people', he was the most crucial part of their plan, but also the hardest part to go wrong.
Negary merely created a chance for Fang Ze, as well as an opening for the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon.
And they were even more impressive than Negary had imagined, immediately pushing Fang Ze to do something that Negary had failed to do: actively accepting their powers.
The reason why Negary had convinced Seven to go search for Chang Xia in the first place was to draw the attention of An Ping, the spokesperson for the will of the world, which was also why he had to make an Attendant who carried his Authority do it.
When the invasion resumed, the chance that Negary had been waiting for had finally arrived.
This world no longer had the leisure to pay attention to him, and neither did the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, since their main goal was the world's [Origin]. This afforded Negary a relatively safe transit environment.
As soon as the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon manifested in this world, Negary activated the transmigration method he prepared.
In the Flame world, he had actually obtained a complete method of transmigration, which was the True Spirit transmigration method.
At the time, a member of the Gusar race transmigrated into the Flame world by borrowing Negary's [Black Crow] germs, from which Negary obtained information regarding the True Spirit, also known as the [Origin], as well as the True Spirit transmigration method.
The essence of the method was to retract one's soul back inside one's [Origin] and borrow its reincarnation property to travel to other worlds.
Naturally, there were two prerequisites to using this method, the first was the existence of an [Origin], and the second was the coordinates of another world.
Furthermore, there were also limitations to this transmigration method: the only thing that could be brought along during transmigration was one's soul and absolutely nothing else.
Because of that, the Gusar race who used this method to travel usually only sought to obtain knowledge from other worlds, through which they would stimulate and further release their [Origin], as well as completing their abilities and path.
Because they only take their [Origin] and soul with them, this transmigration method was no different from reincarnation with their previous memories intact. This allowed the Gusar race to not draw the caution of the worlds they transmigrated into, and particularly not their hostility.
However, since Negary didn't have an [Origin], this method was essentially useless to him, not to mention the fact that the user would only be able to take their own soul with them and no one else's.
It was because of this that Negary didn't have a subordinate like Noah use this method to transmigrate and take Negary with him.
The point of breakthrough was this world's Light Casting technique. Through each cycle's worth of studies and research, they created a lot of technological and supernatural knowledge, but once the timeline got reset, all of their efforts would be reduced to 0, everyone's memories would be reset, their [Origin] returning to an unreleased state.
To retain these memories and knowledge, they created the Light Casting technique, which 'cast' the knowledge within their souls into their [Origin]. This accomplished the goal of retaining their total memory, which included part of their previous technology.
Negary had borrowed the principles of the Light Casting technique to modify the True Spirit transmigration technique and turned it into a transmigration method suitable for himself.
He would compress his own soul, 'cast' it into Lan Shan's [Origin] for storage, then perform transmigration using her [Origin], his destination being the world coordinates that An Ping's group had provided him.
〖 A world that is constantly moving along an orbit, and might possibly have invaded the Disaster world once before. What a highly inappropriate choice, but I don't have the luxury to be picky 〗Negary's soul slowly sank into Lan Shan's [Origin], then followed a unique path of [Origins] and left this world.
The New Deity and Progenitor Dragon who were destructively extracting the world's [Origin] both seemed to have noticed, but decided not to pursue. In reality, they had expended quite a bit of power to attack the Disaster world, so if they couldn't extract some of the world's [Origin] to use as firewood, their flames would eventually be snuffed out as well.
Fang Ze's giant devil form slowly walked towards the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon.
「 Welcome to the Burning Crusade. From today onwards, you are the Captain of the Burning Crusade's Devil Legion, the King of Devils. Hopefully, you will mature soon and become the third Lord of the Burning Crusade, as we expect much of your potential 」
…
Negary's soul followed an obscure path and smoothly came into contact with the world from his coordinates.
If nothing went wrong, the will of this world would communicate with the transmigrator through their thoughts, agree on a contract to follow certain terms during the course of transmigration, perhaps even cooperate with the world's will to accomplish some jobs whenever necessary. In return, the will of the world would inform the transmigrator of certain common knowledge and prepare a suitable body for them.
The member of the Gusar race who transmigrated into the Flame world was actually a victim of the Flame world. Since the Flame world had no will of its own, they naturally couldn't agree to any contract, which led to them arriving in the world without knowledge of the world's languages nor a suitable body. They had no choice but to enter Negary's [Black Crow] germs, only to be restrained by Negary and forced to return without any preparations.
Following regular procedures, Negary would now need to come into contact with the will of the world, but what appeared in Negary's consciousness wasn't a contract, but large numbers of broken, scattered images.
A giant tree that couldn't be described with words, which bore three fruits of different kinds.
A group of humanoids who prostrated themselves to the ground to pray. Their average height was around three meters, delicate white skin, long ears, they were all wearing luxurious robes reflecting moonlight while dancing under the shade of the tree.
After that, the images started to flicker through a lot quicker, displaying abandoned chapels, dusty statues, abrupt mutations that differed during day and night, followed by rippling emotions of sorrow and despair.
Swordsmen who stood in long rows within an archaic palace; ancient resounding sounds of grief-filled singing; more and more humans; as well as groups of people wearing various church attires.
A swollen corpse in an underground sewer; horse carriages that quickly galloped through the streets; monsters that walked the streets at night; life forms lost in their madness; and various strange and unusual creatures.
The images became closer and closer, making everything clearer and clearer by the moment: a giant underground city; a monster that screamed without a sound; followed by a horse carriage that slowly ground to a halt in the middle of a motley street of a small city.
A 2-meter-tall middle-aged man came out from the carriage, carrying a gentleman's cane on one hand while lifting a trunk on the other. He put the trunk down to adjust his bowler hat and knocked on the door of a unique-looking building.
"Good day, Dr. Sitia" the maid who opened the door slightly bowed to greet him.
"Good day, Mrs. Lunchances" the middle-aged man replied, took off his bowler hat and coat before handing them to the maid.
After hanging the man's bowler hat and coat onto a hook, the maid said: "The master has been expecting you"
The middle-aged man followed the maid to the second floor and entered a room, where he saw a bald middle-aged man together with someone lying on a bed.
The image then flashed again in front of him before Negary finally felt his body.
