I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 718 This is my good brother who has shared my life with me!

Is integrity related to traveling through the world?
There was a hint of thought in Sean's eyes. Now he was certain that he was reincarnated, but he himself could not figure out the reason.

But he unexpectedly learned this information from Zan.

I myself am a time traveler... Could it be that I have been traveling back and forth in my previous lives, and my goal is to achieve this completeness?

Seeing Sean's thoughtful look, Zan kindly added, "I'm telling you this. Reincarnation is usually a helpless act, because after rebirth, one's strength instantly drops to the lowest, and one's memory is lost. If one is unlucky, one will die young, and die without knowing why."

"But the method I heard about seems to be able to be achieved only by traveling through time and space and reincarnation. I guess this might be your situation."

Xiao En nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "Zhan, after hearing what you said, I always feel that the difficulty of these three methods varies greatly. Could it be that the completeness is also different?"

Zan smiled and said, "Of course, it's like godhood. It sounds good, but in essence it's also a recognition from the world. To be honest, it's no big deal, especially for those weak godhoods. After absorbing them, they can only become the lowest level Plague Evil God. It's extremely difficult to make further progress."

“But even if you absorb a strong godhead, your upper limit is just that—after all, the one that people really look up to is the godhead that was born naturally at the beginning of the world.”

"The difference lies in the integrity of the godhead - the weak godhead only has a trace of integrity, and this trace of integrity is the godhead's... um, identity proof? It can be roughly compared to this. By analogy, the middle godhead has more integrity, and the strong godhead has more integrity, but the same thing is that none of these godheads have enough integrity."

"For example, a weak godhead might have 1 integrity, a medium godhead might have 5, a strong godhead might have 10 or even 20 or 30, but it won't exceed 50 at most. A true integrity capacity is at least 100. Note that it is at least."

"Those righteous gods have 100% integrity when they appear. Think about it, if a plague-level evil god wants to reach the righteous god level, it must at least draw integrity from nearly a hundred godhoods of the same level, which is almost impossible. As for those pillar-level and old-time evil gods, it seems that they have fewer needs, but who dares to fight against evil gods of the same level easily? They still have to collect weak godhoods obediently. The progress is faster, but not much faster."

No wonder... no wonder all gods are so eager to pursue the godhood, no wonder the map deep in my soul makes the gods' eyes glow with anger.

However, the hairpin still did not solve his previous doubts, and Sean could not help but ask again: "But you just said that there are differences in integrity?"

Zhan chuckled, "Of course there is. Let's look at it numerically. I call it the upper limit. I just said that integrity requires at least a hundred fillings. Obviously, the more integrity you have in your godhead, the stronger you will be - but integrity has an upper limit."

He used the plague-level evil god as an example: "For example, the godhood of the plague-level evil god. As far as I know, the upper limit of the weak godhood is probably about 120 or 130. It will definitely not exceed 150. The middle godhood is a little stronger but limited, and the upper limit will never exceed 200. The strong godhood is much better, and the upper limit is estimated to be more than 300."

"But the Godhead of a True God is different. In addition to having at least one hundred integrity levels right after birth, the upper limit is at least five hundred. I heard from a tribe member that in the world where he was, there was a True God whose integrity level exceeded five hundred when he was born, and the upper limit was immeasurable, at least more than two thousand!"

Sean took a deep breath when he heard this. If integrity is compared to divine power, then there is a huge difference between one hundred and two thousand.

Zan said, scratching his head awkwardly, "I said before that the World Tree was born as a true god, but its integrity was weak. Our clan will become true gods with an integrity of over 100 when they reach adulthood, but our upper limit is the same as that of the evil gods with medium godhood, at most 200. Even if there are special ones, they are only at the upper limit of strong godhood."

He sighed with emotion: "We are born strong, but the upper limit is basically fixed. I think this is also an important factor that will cause the World Tree Clan to collapse. There is no super invincible, awesome big boss god in the clan. Think about it, if there is a tree in our clan with more than a thousand integrity, and it has nothing to do but go around various worlds to comfort its clan members, who will collapse?"

Sean nodded in agreement. That was indeed the truth.

Zan continued, "This is the origin of the two methods I mentioned before. The first is to collect the integrity of the godhood yourself. When you have accumulated 100, you will have the ticket to become a true god. The second is to be abandoned by someone in your natural race, such as me giving it to that old turtle, but the upper limit is just that. The third is the method that I have only heard of but don't know the details."

Zan showed a curious look: "I also learned this from an old tree, but it collapsed ten thousand years ago and died miserably... Alas."

"Let's get back to business. I don't know the details. I only know that this method of collecting by traveling through the world and reincarnating seems to have touched upon the essence of how the world works. The amount of integrity collected by this method is not much, but the upper limit of integrity can be continuously raised in the process of continuous traveling through and reincarnation. It is said that it can even reach..."

Having said this, Zan suddenly slapped his mouth, and then the whole tree rooted in the seabed bowed in fear.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, I almost said it. Kids just say nonsense when they are ignorant." He bowed and apologized in an unknown direction with panic on his face.

"Can't say?" Sean thought of the previous communication scene with Winner. At that time, Winner also made it clear that there were some things he couldn't say.

Zan nodded: "You have seen it? It's normal that you have seen it. There are some things I am not qualified to tell others. If I didn't give my integrity to others, I could tell them, but now I am just a tree without integrity. I can't say anything."

Sean nodded thoughtfully and did not force Zhan to continue. He guessed that perhaps it involved some rules governing the operation of the world?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be something that only a god-level being could say.

Zan wiped the sweat from his forehead, took another sip of his own sap and took a breath: "That's all I can say. I guess you are in the third situation - I can only say that of the first two methods, the first one is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and the second one is almost impossible to accomplish - it is already very difficult to gain the recognition of the natural race. Although there is more than one natural race, the other races are only slightly less than us, and their personalities are not as good as ours."

He spread his hands and said, "As far as I know, I am the only one of the natural races who has voluntarily given up my integrity. Well, to be honest, if you had come a hundred thousand years earlier, I would have given it to you, but I have already given it to someone else, and that old turtle is dead, and I don't know who took away my integrity."

"But even so, the first two methods are relatively simple, at least there are examples. But I haven't heard of anyone succeeding with the third method. Traveling through the world is already very dangerous, and losing your memory and reincarnating is even more dangerous. It's normal to die at the beginning."

He patted Sean on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I don't know when you will die, but I think you are lucky and should be able to survive a few more times of rebirth. However, even if you survive, I don't know if you can reach one-third of your progress. I can only wish you good luck, Sean."

The corners of Sean's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Is the path he chose so difficult?
However, he quickly calmed down. After all, he didn't know the details yet. Instead of delving into it, he might as well continue on his own path. Anyway, he didn't believe in fate.

Zan reminded him, "You don't know, but someone must know. For example, the World Tree that is reviving must know a lot of inside information. You can just ask it when the time comes. But be careful. The other party's memory may not be complete. After all, it fell and then revived, so you have to sort out the information yourself."

He waved his hand again and said, "Oh, actually I'm worrying too much. If this was all part of your plan in your previous life, you should have been prepared for it, and it's probably not my turn to remind you."

Instead, Sean shook his head and smiled: "Maybe you were part of my plan in my previous life?"

After hearing this, Zan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help clapping his hands, "Hey, that makes sense! We probably knew each other before, and I have a long life. After traveling through countless worlds for tens of thousands of years, I find my forgotten old friend, and the two of us get to know each other again and get important information. I like this plot! There is no danger, and it's quite participatory!" Sean laughed. This World Tree named Zan is really a wonderful person, no, it's a wonderful tree!
The two chatted for a while, and Sean, who had been there for a long time, stood up and prepared to leave.

Zan patted Sean's shoulder reluctantly and kept reminding him, "Come back when you have time. I haven't slept recently, so it's a good time to sort out my memories. There may be a lot you need. Also, remember to leave some hints from the depths of your soul. If you die in this life, you may find me again in the next life. I still have the natal tree sap to help you once."

Sean laughed: "The natal tree sap can only take effect once in a lifetime?"

Zan also laughed and said, "Isn't it? The friendship of the World Tree is still valuable. Anyway, if you have time, come and play, and bring more people."

Sean waved his hand: "Okay, maybe I'll come talk to you again in a few days. I'm leaving now."

"Hey, have a safe trip."

When Sean's figure gradually disappeared at the top of the energy channel, Zhan, who had been looking from afar, sat back on the tree canopy with some boredom.

"It's good to live longer, but it's boring... However, the tree heart reminds me that Sean may be able to change the fate of my World Tree family... Is the fate of the world deceiving me, or can he really do it..."

Zhan was in a daze for a long time, and when he looked at the energy channel again, desire appeared in his eyes.

However, at this moment, a huge sea beast swam by, and after noticing the huge World Tree rooted on the seabed, its orange-yellow round pupils suddenly revealed greed.

The branches began to wave together, and the seabed, which had been extremely calm until now, was suddenly stirred up by terrifying waves. The underwater reefs hundreds of meters high rolled in the waves and were completely shattered in a few breaths!
The originally greedy sea beast suddenly showed fear on its face, looked at the World Tree with some reluctance, and finally swam away quietly.

I can't win... It's not worth it to risk my life just to taste a tree branch.

"Get out! Get out!" After driving away the deep blue-level sea beast, Zan waved the branch angrily one last time.

When the surroundings calmed down again, Zhan still shook his head sincerely.

"Forget it, the seabed is dangerous enough. Fortunately, these sea beasts have no brains, but who knows what else there are in the sky, they all have good brains... It's better to live longer."

……

Returning to the ground, Sean put aside the crimson jellyfish he had caught and took a deep breath of fresh air.

The energy at the bottom of the sea is much more abundant, but there is no air. Sean can survive even in an oxygen-free environment now, but places with air are still more suitable for his activities.

This time when he saw the hairpin, even without talking about the secret information he had obtained, just the fact that he had been promoted from the lower level of Deep Blue to the middle level of Deep Blue was enough. He even brought back a 'souvenir' of the hairpin.

It’s totally worth it...and my friend Zhan is generous, loyal and honest!
Even a pure bad guy like Sean couldn't help but want to make friends with the other party. After all, it is reasonable for bad guys to want their friends to be good people.

Looking at the puppet lizardman who had been guarding the cave entrance, Sean patted the other's shoulder with satisfaction.

"It's all thanks to you. It's awesome."

"It's my honor." The puppet nodded respectfully.

Satisfied, Sean brought the jellyfish back to Paradise City. Inside the city, everyone who had been waiting for him for a day and a night without any news could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Latiya and others immediately noticed Sean's increasingly powerful energy.

Latiya, who had always been embarrassed to talk to Sean, couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You advanced again?"

Sean chuckled and said, "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Why was this guy's advancement in Deep Blue faster than those in Deep Red... What good stuff had he encountered in that underwater passage?
Sean handed the bound jellyfish to Mo Jiajia: "This is for you. See if you can keep it. If not, take its blood first. By the way—"

He looked at Illya again: "Illya, let your deputy take over the sinking port, and you will be responsible for the finishing work of the Green Scale Clan."

"Yes, sir!"

Sean instructed emphatically, "Bring out the remaining lizardmen, and then send out the best craftsmen from Paradise City. I want you to build a passage from the entrance to the deepest part. Once we get to the deepest part, I want you to build me a paradise."

"Good, good."

Although she didn't know why Sean deliberately built the so-called paradise there, all she had to do was to obey orders.

Sean’s goal is very simple. It is his freedom to come out or not, but as long as he comes out, he must enjoy the best treatment.

This is my good brother who has shared my life with me!
