Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

From the hazy perspective, the enormous human face is turned to one side, as if it is talking to someone.

Lin Yi: "Oh dear, game over~ Screw, wait a moment while I deal with Huanlong. It won't take too long, about half a system hour."

"Well, if you get impatient waiting, you can go to the 'Garden of Life' and chat with Ruan Mei."

Screw Gum shook his head: "Please don't mind me, Mr. Lin Yi. As an inorganic life form, multitasking is my standard practice. I have no concept of wasting time. I will wait for you to finish your chores."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, then his figure disappeared before Luo Si's eyes.

In an instant, the sea of ​​stars surrounding Huanlong disappeared, turning into nothingness, and Lin Yi's figure appeared directly in front of Huanlong, facing him.

Huanlong looked around: "Where is this again?"

Lin Yi smiled and replied, "This is a space created within the 'Phase Walker' organization, and it's also the cage I've prepared for you. It will be your residence for a very, very long time to come."

Huanlong retorted, "You're dreaming!"

Huanlong wanted to slap Lin Yi hard, but found that he couldn't move an inch.

No, it should be said that Huanlong could feel himself moving, and his movements were not blocked, but the external manifestation of this was that he did not move at all.

Lin Yi chuckled: "Whether you're dreaming or not, you'll know once you try it~ Oh, you're already trying it, how's it going?"

Huanlong: "What did you do?"

Lin Yi: "This is just an amplification of spatial scale. Every inch of your movement has to cross a distance of one light-year in normal times."

"It has absolutely no effect on the hunting speed, but unfortunately you're not fast enough~"

Lin Yi asked in a teasing tone, "Oh, right, I've answered so many of your questions. As a basic courtesy, shouldn't you answer my questions too?"

Huanlong remained silent, only attempting to gain the upper hand. But unfortunately, the value of the space was undeniable, especially this level of spatial control. Without countermeasures or the ultimate numerical values, he was destined to be annihilated by the ultimate.

Lin Yi: "If you don't speak, I'll take that as your tacit agreement. I want to know, was the Ruoyue who divined for me when I went to the Immortal Ship the real Ruoyue or has she been replaced by you?"

Huanlong remained silent for a while, while Lin Yi's smile persisted: "I suggest you cooperate a bit, Grand Monarch Jue Mie—at least you'll have some freedom and time, otherwise..."

Lin Yi raised his hand and squeezed, and Huanlong was suddenly stunned. She felt the pressure coming from all directions. This time she was really unable to move, unlike before when she just seemed not to be moving.

Even so, Huanlong remained silent. She was silently trying every possible way to communicate with the outside world, trying to escape and trying to call for help.

Lin Yi shook his head: "Do you know about accelerated thinking? I researched such a technology a few years ago. I won't go into the details of its principles, but you just need to know its function—it can accelerate thinking and speed up the relative time in the world of consciousness."

"Although it operates in the realm of consciousness, it is very convenient for research to accelerate thinking."

Lin Yi snapped his fingers: "Enough talk~ Experience it for yourself. I've turned it on high enough for you~ 1 second equals 1 year."

In an instant, a streak of light flashed across the sky; this was the crystal computer inside the "Phase Walker," simulating Lin Yi's creation.

Lin Yi deliberately withdrew himself first, leaving Huanlong alone in this empty, desolate place, unable to move.

1, 2, 3...30

Lin Yi counted down 30 seconds and then suddenly snapped his fingers again, afraid that if it took too long, he would drive Huanlong crazy.

Although Suiyang has a strong will!

"Let me out! Someone, come quick!"

Huanlong's tone was somewhat agitated, urgent, and even frantic; heaven knows how long she howled.

Lin Yi: "Did you go crazy? Did you misjudge Sui Yang's mental strength?"

Fortunately, seeing a living person appear, and seeing Lin Yi reappear, Huan Hu's blurry eyes gradually cleared.

Lin Yi stood quietly, giving her time to recover, and even specially simulated the surrounding environment as a beautiful wilderness with clear waters and lush mountains, and the sounds of birds and cicadas.

After a long pause, Huanlong said, looking exhausted and on the verge of collapse, "What exactly do you want? I can cooperate, I can cooperate with anything!"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "Voluntary?"

Huanlong's anger dimmed, but still forced to submit, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's voluntary!"

Huanlong didn't want to experience that feeling again; she was afraid that if she did, she would sink into nothingness.

This kind of spiritual destruction even made Huanlong feel that Lin Yi was more like a ruthless and cruel annihilation lord than she was.

Although Huanlong still seemed somewhat unconvinced, Lin Yi decided to stop while he was ahead, knowing there would be plenty of time to work things out later.

Lin Yi: "I'll ask, you answer."

Lin Yi repeated his question: "Was Ruoyue, who performed divination for me when I went to the Immortal Ship last time, the real Ruoyue or has she been replaced by you?"

Huanlong remained silent for a long time, and just when Lin Yi thought he would have to try again, he finally spoke: "After that. At that time, I had also infiltrated the immortal ship, but I possessed the body of a cloud rider who had returned from an outing. I was also present when the divination was performed."

Lin Yi fell into thought.

Thinking about it this way, that divination applied to both Lin Yi and the diviner himself.

Ironically, Fu Xuan had foreseen that Ruoyue's life would be in danger if she continued to stay in the Taibu Si, so he expelled her from the Taibu Si.

But this time, disaster still struck.

Lin Yi's presence and subjective intervention saved Tingyun, but passively harmed Ruoyue as well.

Saving one person at the cost of another is like warding off a calamity; let's just hope it's a coincidence.

With Huanlong's troubles resolved, the energy supply for the "Phase Walker" was secured, and Lin Yi was quite pleased, willing to answer Huanlong's questions.

Lin Yi continued, "If you divide yourself like this, how do you decide which part is the main one? Won't this lead to conflict with yourself?"

Huanlong didn't pause this time: "The division of Suiyang initially resulted in Suiyang having the same will and temperament. In reality, they were just the same person with different thoughts. When they reunited, there was no hindrance and no impact whatsoever."

"But as time goes on, and as individuals experience more and their emotional experiences differ, they begin to change. At this point, unity will have some influence. This change will grow over time."

Sorry for the wait~ Tomorrow I'll be offline and stay in "Phase Walker" as a battery and spirit (or just a pure battery?).

Chapter 214 The Illusionary Brand Battery Returns to Its Place

Huanlong: "Until a certain critical point is reached, they will completely become two different life forms. If they merge at that point, it will be a matter of who has the bigger fist and who will be the dominant entity. As long as the remaining wills are in one entity, they will slowly disappear."

Lin Yi nodded: "Compared to the complete Illusionary Aura, what percentage of the Illusionary Aura is in the Immortal Ship? What percentage is in you here? Are there any other parts?"

"Oh, by the way, the Immortal Ship part has already been taken over, so there's no need to keep it a secret. You were really unlucky over there, running right into Hua."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yi summoned Huanlong, the part of the immortal boat that had been caught and had been driven mad by the current, to appear beside him.

Huanlong remained silent, his last hope gone: "She is one-third, I am nearly two-thirds, and a small part is under the alias Mangusi, guiding Buliren."

Huanlong carelessly revealed everything, saying that all that was left was Mangusi's will. Even if he developed for a hundred or so Amber Ages, he couldn't make up for the state before he differentiated. It would be better to sell him.

Besides, that's me. If I'm selling myself, can that be called selling? That's called—a wise person knows when to yield!

Huanlong never wanted to experience that feeling of spending decades alone in a place where he had nothing again.

Lin Yi, having roughly understood the situation, didn't hide anything: "Thank you for your honest cooperation. To be honest, the reason I went to such lengths to capture you was to have you provide energy for me, the 'Phase Walker.'"

Huanlong threatened, his words a mix of bravado and cowardice: "You want me to be an endless battery! I'm warning you, don't go too far. At worst, I'll self-destruct, using the self-destruction of a Great Lord of Annihilation to blow this piece of trash to smithereens from the inside out!"

Lin Yi merely chuckled at Huanlong's threat, not taking it to heart.

Lin Yi: "Now I am the butcher and you are the fish on the chopping block, and you can't do it, Huanlong. If you are unwilling to cooperate, I don't mind slowly cutting you apart bit by bit, feeding you silk threads to that Huanlong who has been driven mad."

"It makes no difference to me."

Illusion: "......"

Lin Yi: "This space is a specially created energy storage and conversion space. It will automatically extract imaginary energy from the surroundings at a certain rate."

Lin Yi changed the subject, realizing he couldn't just put pressure on them: "But it won't be for nothing. You can use 1% of it to modify the environment here. As long as there's enough energy, any 'Phase Walker' can be simulated and modified."

"The more you are deducted from your salary, the better your treatment will be; the less you are deducted from your salary, the worse the environment will be. The worst situation is like this, a complete void with nothing at all."

Huanlong felt relieved. If Lin Yi had succeeded, her future life would have been even worse than that of a slave in the "Interstellar Peace Company." It would have been better for her to perish and be destroyed.

Huanlong: "Heh~ Have you underestimated the resolve of a Great Lord of Annihilation? I admit defeat today, but as a Great Lord of Annihilation, I am not one who clings to life and fears destruction."

Lin Yi lightly tapped his finger, interrupting Huanlong's imaginary energy reaction that was trying to destroy him, and the energy flow became very quiet.

Disrupting the flow of energy is a simple operation for "Phase Walkers".

Lin Yi: "I've already said it—in this 'Phase Walker,' you're like a fish on a chopping block. Even if you wanted to take everyone down with you, you had no choice."

Huanlong still looked indignant and was determined to refuse to cooperate.

Lin Yi then pretended to compromise and made concessions: "How about this~ The time limit is 100 Amber Periods. As long as you cooperate well, you will be free after 100 Amber Periods. In addition, as long as you cooperate during this period, you will be allowed to occasionally use a small part of your will to move freely in the outside world."

A glint of light appeared in the illusory flame: "How can I believe you?"

Huanlong has the hope of freedom but doesn't want to give up anymore. Although 100 Amber Eras is a long time, as long as she doesn't die unexpectedly, it will only be a small part of her life.

Overall, it's neither too long nor too short, just within Huanlong's acceptable range.

Lin Yi solemnly declared, "I swear in the name of genius that the conditions I just stated were absolutely true. You can trust the pride of a genius."

A long silence fell over the scene as Huanlong engaged in a complex internal struggle.

Huanlong finally sighed softly, "...I agree."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not impossible to force Huanlong to regenerate, but Huanlong won't last long if you do that.

Although she is the Destruction Envoy, she is not the Fire Emperor; no Fire Emperor can draw her power.

Huanlong must continuously draw upon the imaginary energy from the path of destruction through the blessing of the "Destruction Star God" O-Nanuk.

Lin Yi then drew upon the imaginary energy emanating from Huanlong, using Huanlong as a relay to ensure a truly continuous supply.

This requires the full cooperation of Huanlong. Although there is still a foolish Huanlong who has been knocked silly, Lin Yi is reluctant to use him unless absolutely necessary.

Fools are unpredictable and unstable. They won't strongly oppose it, but they also can't cooperate.

The best-case scenario is that Huanlong is willing to do it himself.

Lin Yi pointed at the silly-looking 'Huanlong' over there: "Do you still want this part?"

Huanlong hesitated slightly, and Lin Yi released his control over the space around Huanlong, giving Huanlong his freedom.

Huanlong moved closer to take a look, and upon connecting with the spirit, he was immediately shocked by the chaotic mental state and saw what had happened on the other side of the immortal ship.

Huanlong walked away with obvious disdain: "Take it away, take it away. I don't want this part anymore, it's yours~"

Huanlong was extremely disgusted, as if she had seen something dirty. And indeed, this 1/3 was dirty to her. Rather than reclaiming this thing, she would rather wait for the opportunity to absorb its emotions and slowly make up for it later.

Lin Yi was also satisfied with Huanlong's decision. He didn't want Huanlong to gather this part; it would be better to keep this part as a backup.

Huanlong: "I'll be free after 100 Amber Ages. I hope you'll keep your word."

Lin Yi: "You can rest assured, geniuses have their pride. I will keep my promise, and after so much time, you should be useless to me."

"I have to go ahead, you can adjust on your own. I'm keeping an eye on this place, just call out if you need anything."

Lin Yi is quite satisfied with the current result. He had made the worst-case scenario plan, which was to spend time cutting and splitting Huanlong into tens of thousands of sub-bodies, then extracting them, and slowly nurturing them to use as dry batteries.

A power generation dam is definitely much better than that plan.

As for 100 Amber Ages later?

100 Amber Ages is more than enough.

Given such a long time, Lin Yi refused to believe that he couldn't develop a cost-effective alternative energy source. By then, Illusionary Aura would be useless, so he might as well release it.

Even after so much time has passed, it's hard to say whether he'll ascend to godhood.

Of course, if Huanlong was still needed at that time, Lin Yi wouldn't mind flexing his moral bottom line.

For example, by offering incentives, they could entice the company to temporarily revise the definition of Amber Era, which wouldn't be considered a breach of contract.

Alright~ Now "Phase Walker 2.0" can be officially declared complete.

That is to say, even an ordinary person holding it can confront an imperial envoy head-on.

Alright, I've decided to start a natural disaster after defeating the Plenty Alliance, let's make the world a bit lively.

Chapter 215 Rupert III on the Road.

Lin Yi exited the "Phase Walker" and had just emerged from the energy storage and conversion space inside the "Phase Walker" when he saw Screw Gum carrying someone.

Literally, it means "to lift".

Lin Yi asked in confusion, "Screw, what's this?"

Lin Yi sized up the person, who was dressed in black, wearing a cat-eared hat, and had a tail behind him. He looked like a human of the cat subspecies of the hominid family.
