reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

She was very casual about the year, swinging her legs and laughing as she said:

"Since the Great Yan is so aggressive, we'll have no choice but to tone it down a bit... We'll probably have to rely on your protection here from now on."

“Actually, you’re not afraid of them at all, so why make such a fuss?” Bai Ye was taken aback by this sudden attitude.

“It’s not that we’re not afraid,” Nian waved his hand. “We’re just afraid of the Great Yan behind them. Those old guys do have some tricks up their sleeves. Besides, it’s the country that made ‘us’ submit. It would be a lie to say we’re not wary. Also, we’ve been influenced by its ideology to some extent, so we don’t dare to be too arrogant.”

The Year Beast was in a state of mixed hatred and fear. Although it was extremely annoyed and wanted to retaliate, it was also afraid of being beaten before, making it hesitant to act rashly. Therefore, it was no wonder it was driven mad by this conflicting psychology…

"Speaking of which, were all of you taught a lesson by those people? I doubt it... I remember some of you were respected and admired by them," Bai Ye suddenly said.

“Um…” Nian stammered, unable to speak.

"So it's highly likely that it's caused by your own unreliable behavior."

The twelve beasts are incarnations, each with an independent personality. Some are mature, some are obedient, some are unruly and reckless, and some are timid and cowardly...

As for Nian, he was probably the more easygoing one, so he got a lesson for it.

"So long-winded!" Nian complained.

“You and Xi are two extremes…” Bai Ye shook his head helplessly.

It's no wonder that these two people with completely opposite personalities would be irreconcilable, after all, they are just too incompatible.

"However, seeing generations of people following in our footsteps and passing on their missions, I can't help but admire these guys..." After joking, Nian said seriously.

"So what attitude do you think the Great Yan will ultimately take towards you?"

“That depends on how those big shots decide,” Nian said, narrowing his eyes. “In the end, he’s just a lowly candle-bearer; he has no right to make decisions. And the things he said were probably told to him by others.”

"However, Taihe's martial arts skills must be quite good, and he is particularly skilled in palm techniques. Could it be that the civil officials of the Great Yan Dynasty also have requirements regarding the level of martial arts skills?" Bai Ye commented.

"However, in reality, there aren't many in the Great Yan who can compare to that brute in martial arts. At least on the surface, he can already be considered one of the best."

"So he became the deputy censor? Because he could beat up those incompetent officials?" Bai Ye laughed as he said this.

Nian couldn't help but shake his head with a smile:

"He was probably born into a prominent family and later caught the eye of a powerful figure, which led to his meteoric rise. You see, even though he is the Deputy Censor of the Censorate, he treats the candle-bearer with great respect and addresses him as 'Young Master Zuo.' Even if the candle-bearer has a special status, there is no need to be so respectful. He must have some connection with this Zuo Le."

"I suspect it's highly likely related to Zuo Le's biological father. I can even deduce that Taihe likely came from Yumen Pass."

After all, Zuo Le is a young master who can write "My General Father," so his status is indeed extraordinary.

"No wonder Old Wei looks down on the new generation of young talents in the Great Yan Dynasty. Now I understand. Although Zuo Le does have some talent and is quite good compared to his peers, he is still young at heart and not mature enough," Bai Yerui commented.

But Nian shook his head:

"Actually, that kid is quite good... but compared to you, he's far inferior."

"Don't compare me to him. It would be too embarrassing to compete with him..." Bai Ye said, indicating that he couldn't bear the embarrassment.

“Indeed, after all, you are the one who had me forge this sword, so I cannot let my name be buried. No, I hope you can become more famous than my sword.” Nian was full of confidence in Bai Ye.

"It's a pity I didn't have the chance to compete with the experts of the Great Yan Dynasty this time, to enrich my skill set and database." Bai Ye sighed with some regret.

It's a real shame that none of the experience points I prepared were used.

Using the points for leveling up isn't enough to level up another two levels, since the amount of experience required to level up Bai Ye is terrifying.

"Let's talk about it next time. Besides, aren't you already planning to cooperate with the Great Yan? Just make your request then, they won't refuse a duel. As for thunder magic and such, it does require the approval of those old guys. By the way, why are you so fixated on thunder magic?" Nian asked casually.

Bai Ye smiled without saying a word.

Could he say it's because even if he racked up high battle merits, he still couldn't learn this Originium Arts? Theoretically, lightning magic is something players can learn, but no one has ever succeeded, making it one of the hardest spells to acquire in the game.

Bai Ye has always wanted to learn lightning magic, which is one of the few obsessions inherited from the player era.

Another point is that wind alone is difficult to unleash its full power in water, but electric current is different, and it diffuses very well. Although Bai Ye has already developed outrageous abilities like solar wind and plasma cannons, using them for clearing away debris is still overkill. Learning lightning magic is just right.

He couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"It's just a kind of Originium Arts, why is it so difficult to learn?"

"What do you think? In the Great Yan Dynasty, thunder magic has political attributes, and usually only direct descendants of the Celestial Master's Mansion can learn it. Moreover, it requires personal cultivation and spiritual realm." Nian waved his hand casually, "If you really want to learn it, you might as well go directly to the Celestial Master's Mansion to become an apprentice. Logically speaking, no one should refuse you."

"I don't want to add another strange identity to myself." Bai Ye didn't want to increase his connections with this land.

After all, he didn't belong here.

"Hmm, if your bargaining chips are big enough, those old guys will probably agree. If all else fails, just break in and take it by force. Anyway, with your strength, they might not necessarily fight you to the death. In terms of destructive power, you're a behemoth." Nian was giving Bai Ye another bad suggestion. But she wasn't wrong; any country would be wary of someone who could summon a storm with a human body.

"That's still too much... Let's negotiate after we get to know each other better..." Bai Ye said with some difficulty.

However, for a fleeting moment, he was indeed somewhat tempted.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Game Collaboration?

"It's about time..."

Bai Ye glanced at the date.

After logging off on December 31st of the Terran calendar, Bai Ye wandered around the core city for a few days before heading to Da Yan with Laurentina and Nian, a round trip that took about a week. Afterwards, they waited in the core city for Taihe and Zuo Le, the two secret messengers, which took another week.

Time flies so fast, it's already the end of January, and there are only a few days left before players log back in after a month of being offline.

The third version is about to be officially launched, which also means that there are only two years left for Bai Ye to complete his mission and mission on this land.

Two years, while it may not sound like a short time—it only took two years from Rhodes Island to Chernobog and then to Victoria Londinium in the original timeline—it's not really that long either, considering that it's been almost two years since Bai Ye traveled from the beginning.

Although Bai Ye did a lot in the previous two years, relying on his grasp of the world situation, his experience as a player, his understanding of the secrets of this world, his increasingly refined strength, and a little bit of luck, he did many things that exceeded Luna's expectations.

However, in the following two years, his tasks will become even more demanding, and the challenges even more severe. Luna has different expectations for Bai Ye, and therefore moves up the original planned timeline. This will be a significant challenge for both of them.

On Baiye's side, he needs to spend two years adjusting the land of Terra to a relatively stable environment so that there will be no violent upheavals when the world merges.

Luna, on the other hand, needs to adjust Earth to a state capable of dimensional resonance within two years. This includes binding the Moon to Earth; gradually relocating the population from Mars; severing the connection between the spaceports outside Mars' orbit and the planet; and transforming the spaceports into independent space fortresses. This way, they can take away humanity's greatest architectural achievement along with the already completed "Northern Cross" starship equipped with a hyperspace engine.

From this moment forward, all industrial facilities on Mars will be used to power this project. The entire forging world will operate at high speed and at full capacity, developing and mining recklessly. As much minerals and other resources as possible will be extracted to prepare for future interdimensional expeditions.

Luna couldn't foresee what challenges it would face after merging with the dimensional resonance world, so it had to be prepared to immediately mass produce troops after the merging.

Of course, these are things Luna needs to consider, and they don't really concern Bai Ye. He just needs to arrange things on Terra's side.

……

As mentioned last time, after careful consideration, Bai Ye decided to confront those close to her.

There are only two years left, and during those two years his movements will definitely have a clear purpose, and he will definitely be traveling around, going to all sorts of strange places. By then, those close to him will definitely notice something amiss.

Instead of waiting until then to find excuses or strange reasons to force an explanation, it's better to make things clear from the beginning.

Bai Ye no longer wanted to hide it.

Moreover, he would definitely be exhausted if he relied on himself alone. If we could apply for other people to help, it would also relieve some of the pressure.

For Bai Ye, making this decision was actually quite difficult. After all, his identity was his biggest secret, and he had never revealed the fact that he had transmigrated. These were not words he could easily utter.

……

At this moment, he was standing in the "Well of Earth" beneath the core city command tower.

Looking up, at the far end of his vision, at the infinitely high beyond, hung a cold light source. He seemed to be looking up from the bottom of a well, yet also looking down from the well's edge.

The concepts of time and space are blurred and confused here; this is a unique space that is different from the real universe.

Of course, more importantly, Luna is here.

Before making a decision, he still planned to consult Luna's advice.

"If I tell you, will anything bad happen?" Bai Ye asked, his voice echoing in the silent space.

Bai Ye seemed to be talking to himself, but the next moment Luna's figure silently appeared in mid-air. The silver-haired girl answered:

"No, it's not forbidden. It's not something that's prohibited, and it won't be censored or erased if I say it."

"After all, we're not some kind of reincarnation park next door..."

She paused, then continued:

"However, if too many people know about it, it may cause unnecessary panic and inexplicable hostility."

"I know that, but of course I can't tell everyone I meet about this. I'll probably just inform a small group of people."

"Are you planning to confront someone you know well? You don't need to worry about it to this extent..." Luna suddenly understood Bai Ye's complicated feelings.

She smiled, then dropped a bombshell:

"It's really no big deal. Don't take your identity as a transmigrator too seriously."

"Speaking of which, all players are transmigrators, except they haven't physically transmigrated yet, and they can't reveal any information about their identities... Does thinking about it this way make you feel better? You've just arrived earlier, and you're very free and unrestricted."

"In fact, in the next two years, true transmigrators will appear. After all, before the dimensional resonance phenomenon occurs, the spatial stability will become lower and lower. When the worlds overlap and a celestial sphere convergence event occurs, visitors from other worlds will enter Terra."

"Ah... I think I've heard you mention this before." Bai Ye nodded.

"So, time travelers aren't really a secret, it's just that..." Luna said nonchalantly.

"Alright... thinking about it that way, it does seem to make sense." Bai Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

Luna continued:

"When new guests arrive, it will be up to you to make contact with them. If they are harmful, don't hesitate to purify them for me. This land will be ours sooner or later, and we can start cleaning up now."

“I’ve never encountered one before… I wonder what kind of transmigrators would appear? By the way, what would happen if the players found out?” Bai Ye suddenly thought of something.

In this world, the most well-informed people are actually the ubiquitous players, and perhaps Bai Ye will have to rely on their intelligence.

"Then just claim it's a collaboration with another game... It's that simple," Luna said nonchalantly.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Showdown

"Good heavens, really good heavens..."

Bai Ye could only admit he was an expert.

He was truly impressed that someone could even think of such a trick.

If a time traveler really does appear, and players happen to see them, then just loudly cover it up with the excuse of "game collaboration"!

That is indeed a good solution.

As for which game it is, that's a collaboration.

As the omnipotent Luna, she can instantly create a game that never existed, using the time travelers who appeared on Terra as a template, and fabricate a player group and game community, making it seem as if such a game really existed.

On the internet, Luna is almost like a goddess, which is why she can be regarded as a god created by humankind.

"Okay, I'll check it out if a time traveler appears."

Bai Ye recorded this matter in her memo.

Well, things have gotten even busier.

"By the way, will you show up when I reveal my true colors?" Bai Ye asked, as if something had occurred to him.

Luna countered with:

Do you want me to appear?

"If possible, it would be better to come out. There are some things I can't explain clearly, but you can demonstrate them directly using a projector."

Bai Ye mimicked the gesture of playing an accordion with both hands, imitating Luna's actions when she demonstrated the 3D projection in front of him last time.

“Then so be it. You can also invite the tenant inside your body along with you. However, my existence must be kept secret.” Luna nodded; she didn’t mind showing herself in front of others.

However, this only applies to these people, who happen to be the ones she has been keeping an eye on and are the kind of people she trusts.

-------------------------------------

"Huh? You guys received Bai Ye's message too?"

Talulah and Alina rushed over from the command tower in the core city of Chernobog, only to find that the three deep-sea hunters had also arrived.

“Yes, Bai Ye just asked us to come over.” Skadi nodded.

“It seems something has indeed happened. He rarely sends messages through the terminal.” Talulah nodded thoughtfully, but her gaze remained fixed on the three girls opposite her.

The five people present all have special identities. Apart from Gladys, the other four all have quite close relationships with Bai Ye. Gladys's identity is also special; if the Deep Sea Hunter is brought along, she cannot be abandoned alone.

With so few people present, it's easy for people to have all sorts of thoughts.

Laurentina glanced at Talulah and Alina with interest.
