"Is this the Undead Country?"

"Yes."

Adams opened his arms, turned his back to the dead country in front of him, and introduced it to Ye Qiong and others.

"Some time ago, this place was quite prosperous. The Undead tribe happily exchanged supplies here, and I occasionally came here to dig out some treasures."

"What happened later? Something must have happened to make this place look like it is now, right?"

Konilia looked at the ruins in front of her and asked.

"Yes, something did happen, something that almost wiped out the Undead tribe here.

For some unknown reasons, they lost their minds and became monsters that only knew how to fight.

The bird you just killed, and those skeleton knights,

were originally residents of this Undead Country.

After losing their minds, they left here and became real monsters."

Ye Qiong asked the question he cared about most.

"What exactly was that so-called incident? It's not written in the information."

"I don't know. When I came here, the Undead Kingdom had become a ruin, with nothing left."

"Is there really nothing left? It's hard to believe that a monster that has lost its mind would go out of its way to collect jewelry or something."

Aquinas exposed Adams' lie in one sentence.

Just look at the surroundings, it's clean as if a businessman has been here.

When Adams heard this, he didn't show any embarrassment, but replied as a matter of course:

"This is the reward given to me by this ownerless land. Goods, if they are not circulated, have no value at all. I'm just helping them find value."

Such words coming from Adams, a businessman, did not surprise the people present.

They were not people who coveted treasures, and it didn't matter to them whether Adams collected the relics of the deceased.

What Ye Qiong wanted to know more now was:

"Why did you bring us to this ruin?"

Hearing this question, Adams scratched his head, obviously not knowing how to answer.

After sorting out his thoughts, he answered:

"If I say this is a businessman's intuition, do you believe it?"

The silence of everyone present has already explained the answer.

"Okay, okay, I know. I'm telling the truth. Actually, when the Undead Kingdom was at its peak, there were actually quite a few of my subordinates here.

A few months ago, because my subordinates had not passed on the information about the Undead Kingdom to me, I went there in person and saw the miserable situation of the Undead Kingdom.

This was once the capital of the Undead Kingdom and the most prosperous place.

My subordinates once told me that the prosperity of the kingdom comes at a price."

"So what is the price?"

"I don't know. My subordinates didn't tell me."

"With your personality, would you actually let go of such important information?"

"How is this possible? So, I used some tricks to get information about the Undead Kingdom.

According to my subordinates, the citizens of the Undead Kingdom need to abide by the rules here if they want to maintain their immortality. If they violate the rules, they will become completely irrational monsters,

just like the guys we just met."

Hearing this, Ye Qiong was a little confused.

"If you don't follow the rules, you will become a disorderly monster? Didn't you say before that some changes here caused the entire kingdom to fall into ruins?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Picker, think about it, normally, would there really be so many citizens who violated the rules at the same time and became monsters? That's why I guess that it might be because of a change, such as the curse mutated, that led to the fall of the Undead Kingdom."

"What are the specific rules?"

"Not sure."

"Then is there a rule that as long as one citizen violates it, it will continue to spread like dominoes?"

"What dominoes?"

"That's not the point. What I want to know is whether they have become undead monsters because they violated the rules. Let me ask another question. We shouldn't be affected by the rules less, right?"

Hearing this question, Adams' expression on his face was obviously more hesitant.

"Speak, will it?"

"This, maybe, probably, possible, no?"

After hearing this answer, Ye Qiong felt helpless.

"So this is why you were so unwilling to act with us at the beginning?"

"Well, this is indeed a part of the reason, but I am more concerned about that, you know, that..."

Adams's tone of riddle immediately caused Cornelia's dissatisfaction.

"Which one is it?"

"Uh, I can't say."

Aquinas walked forward, and at some point, a large iron hammer appeared in her hand.

"Cornilia, retreat, this method is more suitable to deal with this kind of guy."

"Wait, wait, wait, what I really care about is the World Tree and Mr. Gatherer, I really can't interfere in this matter."

As soon as this was said, everyone except Ye Qiong was shocked.

But Nelia had the biggest reaction. She grabbed Adams by the collar and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"Okay, Cornelia, let him go first,"

Adams looked directly at Ye Qiong and said seriously:

"My mother doesn't know about this. This is just my personal judgment as a businessman. Please forgive me."

"Really? A businessman who seeks profits and avoids disasters would take the initiative to take on this responsibility. To be honest, I'm surprised."

"Your Excellency, the picker of branches."

"No, don't worry, I believe what you say."

After that, he walked to the front of the team and continued to say to everyone:

"Okay, let's move on."

But Nelia was worried about the topic just now, so she quickly followed up and asked:

"What the hell is going on?"

Now that the words have come to this point, Ye Qiong naturally understands that he can't deal with it at the moment, so he has no choice but to tell the truth and express his analysis.

"The world is undergoing changes, and it may have something to do with me as a picker. Adams's commission is not only to clean up the monsters in the Undead Kingdom, but also to make me realize the harm I do to the world. It's such a simple thing matter."

"This, how simple is this?"

But Nelia couldn't hold it anymore, there was a hint of anger in her eyes, and she wanted to find Adams immediately to make it clear.

"Okay, Cornelia, listen to me first. Adams's judgment is not wrong. The cause of the change in the world may really be related to me."

"What should I do? Anyway, I will never let my brother leave here."

"Don't worry, it's just my personal analysis. Maybe it's not me, an outsider, who caused the changes in the world."

When he said this, he actually didn't even believe it himself.

Because at this time, he has discovered that because of his existence, many worlds have deviated from the established development.

If this continues, it is basically inevitable that he will become an element of destruction.

There are only two ways to solve this problem,

One, he leaves here and ends the simulation.

Second, take the initiative to integrate here and completely become a member here.

Of these two methods, Ye Qiong doesn’t particularly want to choose either one.

The former means abandoning Cornelia and the others, while the latter means abandoning the real world.

Can you really do it yourself?

For the sake of one of them, would you completely give up the other?

Ye Qiong asked himself, he was reluctant to let go of the daily life he experienced in the simulated world, and he didn't want to break the promise to those who believed in him in the real world.

Aquinas walked forward, and there was no familiar smile on her face at this moment.

Rarely, this naturally optimistic goblin had a sad look on his face.

She grabbed Ye Qiong's right hand,

Although she didn't say anything, the look on her face said it all.

Ye Qiong couldn't say anything to comfort her, so he could only hold her hand tightly and walk like this.

"No, no, Mr. Qiong, what do you mean by what you just said?"

They seem to have forgotten that there is an elf here who knows nothing about everything,

After listening to the Riddler-like conversation just now,

Sabrina was completely confused.

What does outsider mean?

Why would Mr. Qiong cause changes in the world?

Ye Qiong called Sabrina over and told her the reason for the matter.

"So Mr. Qiong doesn't belong to this world? This is the first time I know."

Then, as if something happened to her, she suddenly said:

"In that case, wouldn't it be great if we created an ideal land that is independent from the world? In this way, we don't need to worry about affecting the normal operation of the World Tree."

"A Utopia that is isolated from the world?"

Ye Qiong frowned and analyzed to himself:

"If this Utopia had no concept of time, I wouldn't need to worry about affecting the normal operation of the world if I stayed in such a place. However, can such a place really be created?"

If he was from the First Era, there was indeed a possibility of success.

But now he has lost the body of a giant and the power of creation.

It's simply not possible to do this.

But Nelia naturally understands how difficult it is to open up such a world, but she doesn't care.

As long as there is a possibility for my brother to stay,

No matter how difficult the process is, she will try to do it.

"That's right, just create a world like this."

Because of Sabrina's words, the atmosphere among everyone present suddenly became less heavy than before.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in the center of the city.

Similar to the outermost area, this place has also been reduced to ruins.

Ye Qiong squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil in the palm of his hand.

"There are traces of the bone dragon and the lich's magic power. A war broke out here two months ago."

"I came here two months ago, and then I discovered something unusual here."

Sabrina walked forward and looked around,

She hated this lifeless environment.

It is the setting sun at this moment, and the setting sun is like blood, slanting on this forgotten land.

The once prosperous city now has only ruins left, silently recounting the glory of the past and the desolation of the prophet.

Only half of the towering tower remained, and the broken windows stared at the sky empty, as if looking for the lost soul. The murals on the wall had long been mottled and faded, with only faintly discernible lines trying to recall the past glory.

Obviously, the environment in front of us could not be created in just two months.

This is very likely the land where the undead lived before.

Perhaps it is because of this that they are unwilling to leave.

Ye Qiong came to Sabrina and said:

"Do you feel disgusted? Such a view?"

Saberina nodded and replied:

"I don't like this view, as if everything they did before is meaningless. As time goes by, it will eventually turn into nothing. No matter how hard you insist, you can't protect the memories of the past. I hate this feeling."

"Really? Then try to avoid such things from happening, and protect the memories we cherish now."

This sentence is not only said to Sabrina,

Cornilia, Aquinas should be able to understand what he means.

If possible, Ye Qiong didn't want to leave, and wanted to protect this precious memory.

Unless there was really no other way, he would never abandon them easily.

Cornelia and Aquinas rarely spoke, and walked in the city with Ye Qiong.

Adams did not appreciate the leisure of the surrounding environment. After a quick glance, he said:

"It seems that there are no undead monsters in the city. Let's go to the next area?"

"No, let's be straightforward. Do you know where the space crack is?"

"What space crack?"

"The space crack connecting the Azure Continent to their hometown, with your ability, you should be able to find it, right?"

"You mean, we need to clean up the destructive elements there?"

Ye Qiong nodded lightly, and then replied:

"Yes, this is the simplest and most direct method, isn't it? Even if these undead monsters are killed, as long as the space cracks still exist, they will continue to pour in here.

Instead of doing this, it is better to solve the space cracks directly. This is the way to solve the problem once and for all, right?"

Adams was a little confused. With his experience, he should know what is the simplest method, right?

Kill the undead rules, collect the rules on them, and return them to the world.

This is the simplest method,

but why choose to go directly to the Demonic Continent?

Cornelia, on the other hand, quickly realized why the other party did this.

"Brother wants to use the Demonic Continent as a foundation to build the utopia that Sabrina just mentioned?" (End of this chapter)
