What if his deduction was wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought surfaced in Ba Lie's mind, but it quickly vanished, replaced by a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, that was the thinking of an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world only recognizes the successful; there are no \"what ifs\" or \"maybes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The losers have already become withered bones in a grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evaluation of a historical instance is based on the History Walker's own strength and the difficulty achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Dharma Seed Realm History Walker entered, even if they killed the Rat Guard and Regional Commander Deer, they would only receive a Grade-C or Grade-B evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grade-A+ evaluation meant that Jiang Yan had achieved feats unreachable by mortals or even ordinary History Walkers, which were acknowledged by the River of History and inscribed into the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not just a nominal compliment; the River of History would provide corresponding rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The files in the History Correction Bureau mentioned that a Grade-A+ evaluation was already generous, and the reward for the first instance would be boosted by an additional tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the River of History's favor toward a newcomer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had even been gifts such as a second exclusive historical talent, top-tier historical relics, ancient divine beast eggs, or immortal inheritances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this type of reward belonged exclusively to the conqueror and could almost never be plundered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were newcomers with Grade-A+ evaluations in the History Correction Bureau, but they were extremely rare, and without exception, they had become top-tier powerhouses or were on the path to the summit, destined to become big shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, many History Walkers were envious, but as their strength increased, the Sickness Domains they faced became more terrifying, making it difficult just to survive, let alone grind for scores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those who crippled their cultivation to start over, pretending to be newbies to bully the beginner village—that had been done before. But the River of History hid countless terrifying things; it wouldn't be like a game with fixed, low-level NPCs that respawn. There was a high probability of flipping the car, and even if they passed, the score would be lower, making it not worth the loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could only comfort oneself that the evaluation did not represent the final achievement, only stronger potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember the Jiangnan Province headquarters doesn't seem to have any A+ ratings; it seems there are only two or three geniuses with A- ratings, and yet my tiny Pan'an branch actually encountered one. Once he grows up, he will be enough to suppress an entire province,\" Ba Lie thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not underestimate this evaluation. Because the Tianxia Alliance has a vast territory, the area of a single province is equal to the sum of several other countries. Coupled with its long history, the River of History it connects to is exceptionally terrifying, breeding many sickness-mutated creatures that other countries would call \"nation-destroying\" level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Corpse-Dissection Royal Court; if it were in other countries, it would have long since descended into the present world, swallowing human flesh and blood to establish an earthly underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Jiangnan Province, it only belongs to one of several major disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes Ba Lie envies the shallow culture of other countries; this is not a disadvantage, it is a kind of happiness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in these years, the mutations of the River of History have become more and more severe, and more and more Sickness Domains have descended upon Jiangnan Province, causing many branches to enter an overloaded state, leaving many History Walkers miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially his own Pan'an county-level branch, which had already had several newcomers seconded by the city, only to be lured away by high-paying offers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on them now can barely maintain order, but if the mutations worsen further, there will definitely be a huge disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Yan could join the History Correction Bureau and grow up, he could definitely greatly alleviate the pressure, or even reverse the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grade A+, truly impressive. Mr. Jiang, I see you have great potential. Would you like to join the History Correction Bureau?\" Ba Lie calmed his mood and said with feigned indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he acted too enthusiastic, what if the guy decided to wait for a better offer and was then snatched away by another branch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Grade-A+ evaluation; even the headquarters would shamelessly come to snatch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, a Grade-A middle-tier newcomer appeared near the Shanhai Pass in the north. The news leaked out, and the Gusu Province branch found out and directly ignored all decorum, using a honey trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who know, know; how could the big, rough men of the north have ever seen such gentle and lovely southern girls? They were directly bewitched and moved their whole family to the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that they staged it as a chance encounter on the road, a \"white moonlight\" style love at first sight. Everything was an accident. Before that, the newcomer hadn't even had time to sign an employment contract. Even if the northern branch complained to the headquarters, it was useless; they could only swallow this bitter pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only good news was that during that time, the Sickness Domain creatures that descended in the north all learned what it meant for a History Walker to descend from the sky, angry and ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A world where only they were hurt and the other northern branches gave a \"like\" was born!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Ba Lie looked at Zhao Yinman; he almost forgot that he had also brought a flower from his branch, and signaled her with his eyes to say something nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretty girls speaking has a much better effect than a middle-aged uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yinman stared at Jiang Yan with her crimson eyes and said earnestly: \"The branch's benefits are very good. Once you come, there is endless work to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was cold, but exceptionally serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Ba Lie was speechless for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you introducing the benefits or driving him away? Except for the chosen \"ox-horse\" holy body, who would like having endless work to do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who has been doing all the work seems to be me!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan looked at the two who reacted blandly to his historical evaluation and didn't think too much about it. After all, with the Tianxia Alliance's base of over a billion people, even if only one in a hundred thousand became a History Walker, by sheer numbers, quite a few people could probably get this evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems I cannot be complacent yet; I must guard against arrogance and rashness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also a good thing; Jiang Yan doesn't have to worry about becoming a spectacle and can quietly develop for a period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan asked curiously: \"Does the History Correction Bureau force History Walkers to join?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he really wanted Jiang Yan to join the branch, Ba Lie wouldn't tell such an easily debunked lie, so he explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the River of History is alive, when it is sick, it will come out to look for individuals with strong spiritual perception. Therefore, examples of ordinary people accidentally entering a Sickness Domain and finally awakening are everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them are unwilling to leave their parents, or even don't want to take risks, just wanting to live a peaceful life. Another part belongs to forces established by veteran History Walkers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sects you see in movies and novels actually have prototypes, such as Wudang or the Celestial Master's Mansion, which are forces with long-standing inheritances. They are independent of the official authorities. It is unrealistic to want to incorporate them all into the History Correction Bureau, and having too many factions is also troublesome. As long as they abide by laws and regulations and do not harm ordinary people, it is fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, from the moment the History Correction Bureau was founded, the founder set a rule: History Walkers must join voluntarily, and we must unite most of the objects that can be won over, making many friends. Therefore, there are two response plans for wild History Walkers who awaken accidentally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first is not to join the History Correction Bureau, but the History Walker needs to register with the History Correction Bureau, record their abilities, and guarantee that they will not use historical abilities against ordinary people unless their own life or major interests are at stake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will they really listen?\" Jiang Yan was a bit skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gaining power, he estimated that many people could keep their sanity on the first day, but after a few days, they would definitely become Homelander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie smiled and explained: \"This is not just to prevent people from using extraordinary abilities to do evil, but also because frequently using historical skills in the present world will establish a connection with the River of History, like invisible threads. Once they reach a certain number, they will be directly dragged into a random Sickness Domain of the River of History and be unable to surface.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The stronger the History Walker, the greater the scope of destruction to the present world and the worse the influence, the stronger the historical traction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only by completing the mission can one return to the present world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this process, they have almost no possibility of survival without combat experience. Even for History Walkers with special abilities, they might summon the gaze of ancient existences deep in the River of History, who then borrow their bodies as anchors to descend into the present world, causing chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's lying to you. Even if they don't use it once, they can't escape the fate of being dragged into a Sickness Domain; they are just escaping reality,\" Zhao Yinman added abruptly. \"When you accept the gift of the River of History, it is no longer you chasing extraordinary knowledge, but them chasing you like hounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either survive and become a powerhouse who looks down upon the masses!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or, die in the belly of some Sickness Domain demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie was numb. This young lady really doesn't hide anything at all, directly turning up the intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will scare people away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Yan finally understood why very few people use extraordinary abilities on a large scale in the present world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because every use is shortening the cooldown for entering a Sickness Domain instance. If one is unlucky enough to enter a Sickness Domain at the level of the Corpse-Dissection Royal Court and fails to complete the mission, death is certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, as long as they are not stupid, they will restrain their desires, which to a large extent limits the destructive power of History Walkers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan suddenly realized a problem. The abilities he uses are all \"offspring\" nurtured by the Demon God Embryo, but they all originate from the knowledge of the River of History. Even if they bear the side effects of historical skills for Jiang Yan, it seems that because their essence is pure, the connection between them and the River of History is even closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if others have many abilities, they are at most counted as one person, and the time cycle for entering a Sickness Domain is calculated normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don't use extraordinary power, they can even extend the time they stay in the present world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Jiang Yan, if the River of History treats his offspring as individual entities, then the more offspring, the stronger the accumulated mutation power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they are all controlled by Jiang Yan, and the skill-type offspring exist as concepts within him, intangible and formless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the River of History can't find them, can't it find Jiang Yan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one offspring only refreshes a little bit of cooldown, after accumulating, it will lead to a qualitative change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the speed at which Jiang Yan's cooldown for entering instances shortens might be several times, or even dozens of times, that of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind the River of History's own son... even its own father wouldn't get this treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is truly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Yan licked his dry lips, and the heart in his chest beat faster:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two chapters, six thousand words!
