"Who dares to risk their life so recklessly? Moreover, I am inside the deepest part of the Elder Council's treasury. Who could have entered, someone with power, influence, or strength?"

"Increase the frequency; yes, that's the spot, delve further."

"I wonder if combining the Human Emperor Technique with the Heaven's Will Blade could package both the Heart of the World and the World's Son into a Territory Trait?"

"The truth about Transcendents is sigh-inducing." Qin Muye had never imagined that the origin of an Extraordinary World would be so twisted, at least it all seemed utterly absurd.

"The legacy continues, civilization endures; the place inhabited by humans is the Heart of the World."

"From the moment they stole the World's Son's power, they unwittingly became part of the Heart of the World."

"It's not that there are no solutions, but it must be done swiftly."

"It looks like they are cultivating, but essentially, they are only using a method of ancestral return to extract the power of their forebears."

"Pity, this power is not the same as in the old days; it mutated after merging with civilization."

"Should I move my physical body back first? It's not good to always be stowed away at someone else's place." Qin Muye suddenly remembered he still had a body.

"There shouldn't be too many problems; the only thing to worry about is what would happen to humans as the carriers if the Heart of the World were gone?"

"Finally found it, though it's a bit beyond my expectations." Qin Muye, looking at the so-called Heart of the World, understood why it was elusive and why its location was unknown.

"In any case, the World's Son has not completely died but has merged with the humans who stole their power. This is the true nature of the Transcendents."

After all, being at the fourth or fifth level, running away early if unbeatable was naturally no problem. Qin Muye and his Spirit Monsters had not made their move; naturally, the Elder Council's actions were flawed.

This act, however, truly touched the interests of the Elder Council, particularly now with the Great Governor Huang Yue. As power grows, naturally, it follows the old paths of the past.

Assassination is different from direct confrontation.

But that was unlikely; the Endless Abyss is not part of the same system as this world. Once inside, Qin Muye is the boss, and even the Secret Martial World cannot affect the interior of the Endless Abyss.

The initial Heaven's Will Blade was Ji Shan's Nine Tripods, used specifically for dealing with Netherworld; it simply couldn't be used in this situation, so naturally, it had to be changed.

Initially guarded by heavy forces, now that things have settled, it naturally wasn't possible to carry around a hundred or so Tyrants, which would not be good for the image.

In the early days when Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters were being exterminated, they encountered many assassinations, and even today, the memory still causes trepidation.

Umbrella Company, however, is different; in the eyes of the Elder Council, these researchers are all ordinary people, standing on the same starting line as them. Both biological weapons and military equipment can be used by either, not to mention that the two sides had been linked from the beginning. Although there were conflicts of interest, they were only internal conflicts.

Moreover, later on, he planned to devour the world; the Heart of the World would surely become an obstacle, better to haul it into his pocket sooner.

Now that he knew what the Heart of the World was and had World's Son as a hostage, Qin Muye knew it was time to be greedy.

Theoretically speaking, the Heart of the World doesn't actually exist.

Two special species formed a strange symbiotic relationship, tied together by civilization, creating the current deplorable situation.

Secret Spirits need to be implanted from a young age, but due to the massive death of Secret Spirit Masters and the break in their legacy, this common knowledge has long been forgotten, so generally, any adult who tries implantation ends up exploding, with a death rate of 100%.

Secret Martial could still be practiced, but Secret Spirit genuinely causes death.

Nobody else knows, but that's how Umbrella Company operates; since dealing with the demon gate builder, the resources shipped back have increased nearly tenfold.

Qin Muye only glanced at the report, Huang Yue had already lost his chance, and no amount of scheming could change that.

Qin Muye's task was naturally to drain the entire world's value and then devour it.

Qin Muye discovered the truth behind the children of the world's immortality: they indeed cannot die, but only as long as humanity still exists. Without humans, they can't even sustain their sense of self.

Qin Muye was trying to locate the Heart of the World; by then, he had already failed fifty-three times, the endeavor consuming nearly three years.

Qin Muye was aware that although the Transcendents had been purged, there definitely were some still hiding in the gutters, clinging to survival, as not all were eradicated; after all, hiding three to five hundred in such a vast world was truly no problem.

He possessed the Human Emperor Technique, which was an expression of Heaven's Will by nature, and fittingly, it had some compatibility with the Heart of the World—the only difficulty lay in the Heaven's Will Blade.

The Federation had naturally been flourishing, its population sharply reduced to half of what it was ten years ago, yet the quality of life had greatly improved.

Now, the struggle against the Umbrella Company was fierce, but the company was powerful, and not even the Great Governor could take action against it.

It was also the thirteenth year that Qin Muye had been in this instance world; naturally, his territory had rapidly developed over the thirteen years as well.

Although termed a blade, it was in fact just a special technique.

So Qin Muye had to consider the matters.

External interests were still bound together, without any conflicts.

In the Endless Abyss, the World's Son·Civilization was sealed within a unique machine, which served as a core around which a suite of mechanical devices was built.

Fortunately, all the Transcendents had been exterminated. Qin Muye's Strongman Style Level had not upgraded for a long time; ordinary people, no matter how surprised, were not being judged for it, which was a good thing.

It's important to note that whether councilmen or governors in the Elder Council, they are all ordinary people; as ordinary people, none would wish for Transcendents to sit above them again.

For this reason, back then, the Umbrella Company initiated the plan to eliminate all Transcendents, and naturally, Qin Muye had a hand in this.

Everything was like a cycle; the former Dragon Slayers had now become the very dragons themselves.

That's why they were so decisive in eradicating all heritage of these two Transcendent forces, to prevent history from repeating itself.

The Elder Council took this action partly because they were swayed by the Umbrella Company, and partly because they willingly agreed to it.

Originally he had one, but it wasn't suitable for this world; after all, technology needs adjustments to cope with different situations.

The reason was simple: he didn't have firearms.

Moreover, since the Door Demons had been cleared out, the only crisis had also been resolved, and everything was developing in a good direction... probably.

During these thirteen years, Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters had already been wiped out, and the Elder Council had intentionally cut off their lineage; even if there were any oversights, they were just ordinary Secret Martial practitioners, amateurs without a high ceiling, and the Secret Spirit lineage was completely severed.

Looking for other plants or animals instead? That wouldn't work; Qin Muye had tried it and this thing only worked on humans, plants, trees, birds, or beasts were not recognized by the Lord Era, making Qin Muye involuntarily criticize this discrimination in his belly, talking about nature being indifferent, using all creatures as sacrifice, yet still having requirements.

This was indeed related to his main quest, as the main quest required fame; but with no people around, where would he boost his reputation?

In doing so, it was indeed the best of both worlds.

This feedback was regarding the development of the southern realms of the Federation. The massive resource extraction by the Umbrella Company was very effective as it wasn't their own, naturally, they did not care.

These years, he had always been controlling from a distance and was almost accustomed to it.

Just as the former Great Governor Situ Ke, the current Huang Yue also wanted to control the Umbrella Company, not only to make this massive enterprise his capital but also to gain the wealth of the Umbrella Company.

While wondering whether to walk back by himself or have someone send him back, Qin Muye suddenly realized... it seemed like someone was after his corpse?

As for following the cultivation path, that was even less reliable. They had already missed the timing for cultivation, and their potential wouldn't be too high; though an instance of a True Martial Rank Martial Artist or a True Spirit Realm Secret Spirit Master might not be enough to overthrow the Umbrella Company's biological weapons and military equipment, killing them would still be straightforward.

The method was simple: just capture a batch to raise first, let Qin Muye create Territory Traits, devour the World, and directly handle everything in one go; by doing so, not only was the task completed, the instance was destroyed unless the disappearance of the Heart of the World could influence his Endless Abyss.
