Chapter 225: Finally Merged the District

Ai Rui Li Ya's apology on her face was not the slightest bit false.

But for Lin Yifan, that was already enough.

They were merely acquaintances; calling them friends, in fact, mixed in more profit.

Ai Rui Li Ya being able to help him like this could be considered doing her utmost.

So, Lin Yifan gratefully nodded, "That's enough, thank you, Princess Ai Rui Li Ya."

Ai Rui Li Ya gave a slight smile, moonlight spilling over her silver hair, appearing especially gentle:

"No need to thank us, our nature spirit clan also hopes to see a new Divine Being born; that's good for the whole realm."

Ruan Qingtan suddenly thought of something and asked curiously:

"By the way, Ai Rui Li Ya, you said our human race has influence in the Advanced Domain; what's their situation now? Are there any especially powerful figures?"

Ai Rui Li Ya thought for a moment and replied:

"The human forces in the Advanced Domain are indeed strong; they occupy several resource‑rich star sectors, and it is said that a few demi‑god‑level strongmen are stationed there."

"But the specifics, I'm not very clear about; after all I'm just an Initial Domain spirit, even with a princess title, the information I can access is limited."

Hong Shaoqiang's eyes flashed with a hint of yearning: "Demi‑god level… how strong must they be?"

"Who knows! It's said that with a casual move they could destroy heaven and earth," Ai Rui Li Ya said with awe, "But don't be over‑ambitious; figuring out how to survive in the Initial Domain is the most important thing first."

Lin Yifan agreed deeply: "Exactly, the road must be taken step by step. Princess Ai Rui Li Ya, when roughly will the training manual you mentioned be ready?"

"Before noon tomorrow," Ai Rui Li Ya estimated the time, "I'll try to write all the basics in, including physical training, combat techniques, and some simple magic fundamentals."

"Magic?" Ruan Qingtan's eyes lit up, "Magic actually exists?"

"Of course!" Ai Rui Li Ya nodded, "This world has many cultivation systems, and mages are the largest branch among them."

"And among your human race, the number of those with innate magic cultivation talent is the greatest, which is why humans now have the most mages."

"So does that mean we can all learn magic?" Ruan Qingtan asked, his face unable to hide his excitement.

"Of course you can," Ai Rui Li Ya smiled, "but it requires a certain talent, and the energy density in the Initial Domain is insufficient, so cultivation will be slower. Still, laying the basics is no problem."

"When you reach the Intermediate Domain, cultivation will speed up considerably."

Lin Yifan, though already possessing an ice‑crystal body, now can use several magic skills.

But those are attached to his companion limbs, not something he practiced himself, so he doesn't know whether he can truly cultivate magic.

Now having a definite result, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That's great; if I can become a mage, it will add a few more relay stations for the future."

After eating and drinking to fullness, night deepened.

The few chatted a while longer, and Ruan Qingtan's and Hong Shaoqiang's time came to an end.

After seeing them off, Lin Yifan arranged for Ai Rui Li Ya to sleep in Su Xiao xi's house, then returned to his Shelter.

After a day of busy work, his spirit was clearly exhausted, yet Lin Yifan lying on the bed still couldn't stop his thoughts from swirling.

The amount of information obtained today was huge—Divine Being, prophecies, the survival of races… all made the burden on his shoulders feel heavy.

"Three months… can I make it through?" he muttered to himself, "I must get through it!"

Saying I'm not bewildered would be false!

After all, it's a matter of life and death; even though Lin Yifan had long felt numb to such precarious days.

Yet even so, when truly facing a crisis, his heart still inevitably trembles with unease.

Moreover, besides the predatory gaze of other races, the Blood Moon hanging in the sky is equally so.

Lost in idle thoughts, Lin Yifan even forgot to open the Treasure Chest and fell asleep right on the bed.

When he woke up, it was also 7 a. m.!

Only the outside was still dark; Lin Yifan opened the Light Screen to check and found that daylight had been pushed back to 9:30.

And the nightfall time had moved forward to 2:30.

In other words, daytime now lasted only a mere five hours.

In such a short span, ordinary people could hardly find much supplies.

Although most people aren't lacking food now, that doesn't mean they truly aren't.

Whether it's from Treasure Chests or found in the wild, unless self‑sufficiency and balanced accounts are achieved, food only dwindles.

If daylight keeps shortening, the food they can find will also decrease, eventually leading again to a life‑or‑death crisis.

But faced with this situation, Lin Yifan had no way to solve it.

He could roughly guess that shorter daylight and longer night were among the natural calamities.

Thus, this is a part each person must endure; aside from warning everyone, he has no better solution.

Lin Yifan, while daydreaming and washing up, finally remembered that many tasks from yesterday remained unfinished.

The most important of them was opening the Treasure Chest!

Each non‑human race, after being cast out of the Initial Domain by him, drops a Treasure Chest.

Most of them are ordinary Green Treasure Chests, though three or five are Blue Treasure Chests.

The most precious are the Purple Treasure Chests dropped by Lai En.

So far, Lin Yifan has obtained only two or three Purple Treasure Chests, but everything inside each has considerably strengthened him.

Moreover, this chest came from Lai En himself; according to Lin Yifan's conjecture, the treasures inside chests dropped from non‑human races originate from those races.

Lai En's strength is notable; although a human traitor, he thrives in the Dark Night Alliance, showing his status is special.

A chest dropped by such a person could never be filled with trash!

Therefore, Lin Yifan looks forward to this chest the most!

Originally this chest should have been opened last night, because there was a "Lucky Double" buff then, the perfect time to open a Treasure Chest.

But due to too many events yesterday, and because he was dining and chatting with Ruan Qingtan and the others, he got so happy that he forgot about it.

I don't know now whether I can still draw a buff that benefits opening the Treasure Chest today.

If I can't draw it, then this Treasure Chest will probably have to wait before being opened.

Lin Yifan inhaled deeply, then began drawing his daily talents!
