After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 339 The Truth of the Immortal Realm, A New Parallel World
"Sect Master Chu, what's the situation?"

Outside the research institute of the Red Lotus Conch Rock, Dongfang Wuji stood quietly by the walkway, a gentle breeze blowing and lifting his empty right hand.

Although the soul imprints of the people in the Sword Washing Pool were left before the battle, allowing them to possess their clones and continue fighting at the moment of death, such injuries could still be healed by changing bodies. As for the injuries to the soul, they were slowly healed with an unlimited supply of rare and precious materials.

However, Dongfang Wuji did not choose to repair the injury, but instead preserved it.

According to him, this was left behind by the immortal servant who was captured first, during his struggle. That immortal servant was also a senior of his Sword Washing Pool before his ascension. He didn't go into details, but Chu Ke could roughly tell that this was probably a knot in Dongfang Wuji's heart.

"The results are in, and they're pretty much what you expected."

"."

"Is that so? It's to be expected. After all, I never imagined that my martial uncle would target his own sect." Dongfang Wuji relaxed completely, as if he had lost the youthful appearance-preserving effect of his cultivation and aged decades in an instant: "Just thinking about how the heavens are full of such monsters makes me feel nauseous."

After the battle, Dongfang Wuji made a request to Chu Ke: to examine the souls of the two captured personnel.

He suspected that every ascended predecessor had actually been possessed, and that after countless years, the people in the immortal realm were still the same group.

This also explains why the number of ascension slots needs to be determined by the Immortal Realm; it's simply a matter of waiting until they need to possess another body before selecting them like commodities.

The test results came out quickly, and although they differed slightly from what Dongfang Wuji had imagined, they were largely the same.

Aside from the unexpected discovery of his identity as an "illegal transmigrator," Chu Ke detected something unusual about the immortal servant.

That is, these immortals do not have divine souls.

This can be explained by the fact that some characteristics change at different power levels. For example, the soul before the Nascent Soul stage is called divine consciousness, while the soul before the Golden Core stage is called spiritual power.

Perhaps after ascension, all cultivators will achieve a union of spirit and body, just like those cultivators who have refined their bodies to the limit?
But this doesn't explain another phenomenon.

That means the immortal power within the other person's body is conscious.

Or rather, even the immortal power that Chu Ke transformed using the other party as a sample was conscious—the positron cannon and other weapons used by EVA before were being twisted into silicon-based life forms at this moment, and had developed a body structure similar to that of an immortal.

As expected, after figuring out how to decode the immortal power's thoughts, Chu Ke used an instrument to read the immortal servant's memories and obtained the truth about the immortal realm.

Immortal power, or immortal power life, is a parasitic life form similar to countless tiny insects. It is not an insect in the actual sense, but rather a collective entity that shares a hive consciousness, similar to insects.

Although they can elevate the host's life level after parasitizing, the host's survival actually requires consuming a kind of spiritual energy called the soul. However, the spiritual energy of the swarm consciousness has been integrated with the physical body, making it impossible for them to consume their own kind.

So they created a small world, induced the evolution of humanity within it, and then passed on cultivation techniques to the cultivators, allowing them to cultivate themselves into delicious ingredients, waiting to be possessed.

The delicious spiritual energy can sustain the other's life, and the powerful body can be used like a hermit crab, allowing one person to eat multiple things.

Yes, these celestial beings, which look like alien species or alien invaders, are actually the native inhabitants of this world.

Fortunately, there is good news.

That is, Chu Ke is not a European or American, and he would not establish a Thanksgiving for these people.

Chu Ke pulled a green bottle from his pocket and handed it to Dongfang Wuji.

"This is?"

"This is a virus, specifically targeting immortal life forms. The first generation is the most infectious with no fatality rate, while the second generation has zero infectiousness but a maximum fatality rate. The way to advance is to successfully parasitize." Chu Ke gently pressed on the bottle, and a virtual needle popped out: "Just think of it as a targeted epidemic. Oh, don't touch it, this is a conceptually armed needle, touching it will cause infection."

Dongfang Wuji had actually been using the mobile phone quite a bit during this period and was very good at accepting new things. He quickly understood what Chu Ke meant and asked in return, "Since it is an epidemic, it also needs a host, right?" "Indeed, it needs patient zero."

"I understand." Dongfang Wuji clenched his fist tightly, as if grasping at a glimmer of hope: "I will inject this and ascend, willingly allowing myself to be possessed. Let me end this era!"

"What are you thinking?" Chu Ke asked, looking surprised. "Who taught you that Western concept of self-sacrifice? Isn't there a test subject right here?"

Chu Ke turned to the side, and Dongfang Wuji then discovered that the immortal who had been entangled with them earlier was now quietly sleeping, bound by the force of the barrier.

“I’ve already given him the injection. Just put it back later. The one I gave you is in case there are any leftovers.”

Since they're illegal time travelers anyway, it's okay to make use of them.

"Prevention is better than cure? Sect Leader Chu, you want to..." Dongfang Wuji was taken aback, understanding Chu Ke's meaning.

"Yes, I'm leaving." While playing in this world, Chu Ke didn't forget to collect information about his counterparts in parallel worlds. It was during this process that he discovered a very interesting counterpart.

He seemed to have died unexpectedly, just like his original self, but his soul traveled to other worlds. However, due to the erasure of the main plane, he could not integrate and was about to die again.

We can lend a hand.

"Sect Leader Chu" Dongfang Wuji had a somber expression, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"No need to stop me, I'm leaving anyway." Chu Ke turned his back, adopting a superior posture with his hands behind his back.

"No, I mean, could you please keep the PHS phone and the base station? This short drama is so addictive!" Dongfang Wuji's eyes were filled with tears: "Especially this one where all the sect's senior sisters fall in love with me! Oh my god, why didn't I have this kind of sweet romance when I was young?!"

"."

Maybe we should just take it away, otherwise next time Dongfang Wuji might be calling for his mother online.

----------

In the luxurious manor, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, a handsome man silently watches the crowd of people entering the manor below, his face expressionless.

My name is Chu Ke, I am 21 years old, and I am a time traveler. In this life, I live in a suburban manor in Japan.

I am in great danger right now!

Why?
Chu Ke's gaze shifted slightly, landing on a little boy downstairs who had just gotten out of a car. He was wearing round-framed glasses and a baseball jersey.

He looks no different from any other mischievous child, but... is that abstract height, which isn't even as tall as a car tire, really human?
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a dog dressed in human clothes. With that size, it would be a life-or-death situation if it ran into a larger rat on the street.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Chu Ke's gaze slid down, and a white panel appeared.

【Edogawa Conan (???)】
