He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

Yun Yi didn't speak.

Shen Wuyi smiled.

"Me too."

"The Ninth World".

"The first eight of them, I crawled out of piles of corpses."

He leaned back in his chair.

"Every time, the park throws me at the very bottom."

"Every time, I climb up from the very bottom."

He reached out and tapped his fingertips lightly twice on the table.

A world map appeared on the desktop—not a paper map, but a projection of light and shadow.

The red and blue dots are densely packed to mark every continent, every country, and every war zone.

The blue dot covers most of the Northern Hemisphere, stretching from the Asian continent all the way to the edge of Europe.

The red dots are concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere, scattered here and there, like prey being hunted.

Shen Wuyi said:

Three years.

"I controlled half the world's political power in three years."

"It's not because I have superpowers, it's because I know how to use people, how to use resources, and how to use information."

"These are all things I learned in one world after another."

He put the map away and looked at Yun Yi.

"But I don't need these anymore."

What do you need?

"cooperate."

Shen Wuyi leaned forward slightly. "Among the reincarnators of this world, you are the only one I acknowledge."

"I've investigated you."

"Linhai City, the epicenter of the zombie outbreak."

"I found traces of at least ten reincarnators there."

"And you not only came out alive—you also brought the chosen one with you."

"That alone is enough to prove your ability."

"I will provide you with the locations of other reincarnators."

"And I will build a city of hope in this post-apocalyptic world and gather the faith of the entire world."

Finally, we both returned together.

What do you think?

Yun Yi looked at him without saying a word.

Shen Wuyi wasn't in a hurry; she picked up her teacup and took another sip.

The tea got cold, but he didn't call for someone to replace it. He put the cup down and ran his finger around the rim of the cup.

You don't trust me.

Yun Yi did not deny it.

"normal."

Shen Wuyi leaned back in her chair. "I don't trust you either."

"That's why I say cooperation, not siding with someone else."

"You have your territory, and I have mine."

"You guard the south, I'll take charge of the north."

"Leave the middle section untouched."

"What about the other reincarnators?"

"I have three."

Shen Wuyi stretched out her finger, "The captain of the Tianying Squad, the location of the five members of the Wuji Squad, and—on the other side of this world, an extremely insane lone wolf reincarnator who intends to destroy everything."

Yun Yi fell into deep thought.

He had not been able to find out any news about other reincarnators over the years.

Although it was partly because he hadn't investigated properly, it was enough to show that the other side had far better intelligence than him.

Nine worlds.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, if someone has truly survived so many worlds, they are very likely carrying a return crystal.

I have finished thinking.

Yun Yi raised his head and looked at Shen Wuyi.

"Cooperation is possible."

"You gain faith and return as the strongest."

"But the lives of those who reincarnate belong to me."

"Can."

Shen Wuyi put down his teacup, tracing the rim with his finger. "The lives of the five members of the Wuji Squad are yours."

"The life of Captain Ten-ying is yours too."

"But that lone wolf—her name is Li Shuiqiu, from the fifth world, a lone wolf, who has never teamed up with anyone and has never trusted anyone."

"She has a return crystal; whether you can take her life depends on your ability."

Yun Yi didn't speak.

Shen Wuyi took a tablet out from under the table and pushed it over.

The screen displays a world map marked with seven red dots: five clustered along the eastern coast of Greenland, and one lone in the heart of Antarctica, like a nail in a white cloth.

The last one is in Linhai City.

"The Wuji Squad has been stationed in Greenland for three years, waiting for your sister to grow up."

"Of course, it wasn't just squatting—they used some kind of tool to convert the world's energy there into spiritual energy for cultivation."

"Converted to the standards of the cultivation world, the strength of these five people is guaranteed to be at least at the Golden Core stage."

"The vice-captain is at the peak of the Golden Core stage. I don't know about the captain, but he has most likely already reached the Nascent Soul stage."

You should have heard of this realm.

Yun Yi nodded.

Shen Wuyi continued:

"As for Li Shuiqiu, she is very weak, but she should come from a world with highly advanced technology."

"According to my investigation, she has produced no fewer than ten thousand nuclear bombs."

"Her intention was clear—to launch all her nuclear missiles in a map-clearing attack."

"She just doesn't know the exact location of us reincarnators, otherwise at least a thousand nuclear bombs would be flying over each of our heads."

"As for the captain of the Sky Shadow Team, he is not a threat in terms of strength, but he has extremely strong self-preservation skills."

"As far as I know, he has used the Reversion Crystal at least three times."

"He's probably out of points, but we can't rule out the possibility that he'll exploit his teammates to use those points to buy new ones."

"When you kill him, do it as quickly as possible."

Yunyi pushed the tablet back.

"That's enough intelligence."

Shen Wuyi looked at him and waited for three seconds.

"and then?"

"Then you go back and wait for news."

Yun Yi stood up. "I will give you an answer within three days."

Shen Wuyi also stood up and extended her hand.

"Three days."

Yunyi shook hands.

It wasn't three seconds, nor five seconds—it only touched for a second before letting go and turning away.

Yun Nian stood on the deck, leaning on the railing and looking down at the sea.

The sea was flat, a deep, almost blackish blue, with sunlight casting a layer of shimmering gold on it.

She heard footsteps, turned around, and her ponytail swung in a circle.

"Brother, are you done talking?"

"Um."

"Is he a good person or a bad person?"

"have no idea."

"Is he a reincarnator?"

"Yes."

Yun Nian nodded without asking any further questions. She turned her head back to look at the sea.

After a while, he spoke again:

"Brother, should we kill him?"

"Um?"

Yun Yi stopped in his tracks. "You're a girl, don't be so quick to resort to violence."

Yun Nian pouted:

"But brother, didn't you kill all of them before?"

Yun Yi paused for a moment.

Yun Nian walked over with a smile and took his hand:

"Let's go home then."

"Sister Liu made braised pork today, and she said she'd wait for me to get back to eat it."

"it is good."

The speedboat left a white trail in the sea.

Yun Nian sat at the bow of the boat, took off her shoes, and put her feet into the water, which was icy cold.

Yun Yi sat next to her, gazing at the distant horizon.

Shen Wuyi's yacht grew smaller and smaller behind her until it became a white dot and disappeared between the sea and the sky.

Upon returning to his residence, Yun Yi went directly to the West District Laboratory.

Zhou Mingyuan was still sitting in front of the microscope, his white coat stained with coffee, it was unclear how many days he hadn't changed it.

"Mr. Zhou, I need a list."

"What list?"

"All known living species in the world."

"From blue whales to ants, from redwoods to moss. Don't miss a single one."

Zhou Mingyuan took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and put them back on.

"What are you going to do?"

"collect."

Yun Yi didn't explain, and turned to leave.
