Chapter 347: The Defector

"There really isn't any!" The little white fox had arrived at Lin Bai's side at some point. Looking at the bare area, she was full of surprise. She reached out and poked Bai Feng, "Do immortals not need to give birth to children?"

"Get lost," Bai Feng said angrily. "Heavenly beings live forever; how could they use the filthy, reproductive methods of the mortals in the lower realms?"

"..." The little white fox was stunned for a moment, then sheepishly moved away.

Lin Bai looked at Bai Feng with pity. Sure enough, if you don't eat meat, you'll never know how delicious it is, right?

You have no idea what you've lost, do you?

Lin Bai silently continued to shave Bai Feng, while using the Truth Spell on him.

Tuohai and the others felt their premonitions of disaster growing stronger. They couldn't help but ask, "Where have the predecessors from my sect who ascended gone?"

"Lower-class people naturally do lower-class work," Bai Feng said disdainfully. "Ants are always ants. You were given the motivation to ascend, and you really thought that once you came up, you could become immortals and ancestors? We need you ants to come up and serve us, to do the work of the lower class, to provide us with entertainment..."

The expressions of Tuohai and the others suddenly turned very ugly, and their hearts were filled with bitterness. So this was the truth about ascension?

They suffered bitterly in the lower realm, survived near-death experiences, and crossed the lightning tribulation to ascend, only to end up as lower-class people, pleasing these guys who were neither men nor women?

"Since we are to be used for your amusement, why set up the lightning tribulation for us?" Nan Rong asked through gritted teeth.

"Heavenly beings are stronger than you from birth. Your cultivation is insufficient; any random stray cat or dog could kill you. You can't even do basic chores, so what use is it to have that trash come up? For us, even having you wastes of space breathe the Spirit Qi of the Immortal World is a disgrace," Bai Feng mocked. "When choosing ingredients, one must pick the robust ones, let alone you lot?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but they also understood why, for tens of thousands of years, people had ascended to become immortals, yet no one had ever returned from the Immortal World.

If the people below knew that the Immortal World was like this?

Who would still go through all the trouble to cross the tribulation and ascend?

Thinking about how they struggled desperately their whole lives, only to end up with such an outcome, it really is like living a joke, isn't it?!

Good heavens!

No wonder the system defined the other party as an enemy as soon as he arrived.

Given his own temper and disposition, encountering such unfair treatment, flipping the table on the spot would be considered having a good temper!

Lin Bai thought to himself.

So the system brought him to this world really to let him be a Jiusheng...

"Master, these immortals are so annoying. I don't like it here; I want to go back," the little white fox frowned and said.

Tuohai and the others remained silent, waiting for Lin Bai to make a decision.

Lin Bai was the strongest among them, but having just entered the Immortal World, he had spent quite a bit of effort just to take down a random silver-robed minor general. If he encountered an immortal even stronger than him, Lin Bai would probably be done for!

"Go back? What kind of dream are you having?" Bai Feng said. "The Light of Reception is a one-way transmission. With your abilities, you still want to break through the barrier between the two worlds? Truly dreaming! If you're sensible, release me quickly. Otherwise, in a moment, when General Nan notices that something is wrong at the Feisheng Chi, he will surely skin and debone you ants, sacrifice and refine your Spirit Souls, and make you suffer in pain day and night... Ah!"

A scream.

His voice stopped abruptly.

It was Lin Bai's kitchen knife that had severed his carotid artery, and fresh blood sprayed out instantly.

However, none of the people who had ascended to the sky felt that Lin Bai was cruel. Instead, they inexplicably felt a sense of gratification in their hearts. Realizing their situation in the Immortal World, no one regarded Bai Feng as their own kind anymore.

"Stop, what are you doing? You damn ant, do you know what the crime is for killing a heavenly being in the Immortal World?" As blood gushed out and he felt his life slipping away, Bai Feng roared hysterically, his voice cracking.

"Generally speaking, the second step in processing ingredients is to drain the blood. If you don't drain the blood, the meat is not only difficult to preserve, but it also has a strong fishy smell, which affects the taste." Lin Bai explained calmly. The Chef God System had taught him the Zaitixie Zhi Shu; this was indeed the standard operating procedure.

"You stupid ant, you actually want to eat me?" Bai Feng was shocked, continuously releasing feelings of fear.

"Otherwise? What do you think I'm holding? People usually use a Sword to kill, but a kitchen knife is for cooking. Originally, as a chef, one shouldn't use their own kind to cook, but you are different from us. You are a high and mighty heavenly being, and you probably weren't born of a father and mother, so I don't have that concern." Lin Bai glanced at the blood flowing from Bai Feng, continuing to apply psychological pressure on him.

This guy had been under the Truth Spell for so long without noticing it at all, which meant that everything he said currently was what he wanted to say. This meant the status and situation of those who ascended from the lower realm might be even worse than imagined!

Lin Bai sighed: "It's a pity there's no suitable container; this blood is all wasted. Blood tofu has a soft and glutinous texture, suitable for making Mao Xue Wang..."

"Madman, do you know what you are doing? You will bring disaster to your clansmen in the lower realm." Bai Feng trembled as he tried to mobilize the Spiritual Power in his body, but all his Spiritual Power felt as if it had been sealed.

Moreover, he couldn't feel any restrictions on his body at all, let alone break through them.

Consequently, Bai Feng became even more terrified.

"To tell you the truth, to the people of the lower realm, I am the disaster." Lin Bai looked at Bai Feng, who was still full of energy after being bled for a long time, and marveled at the tenacious vitality of heavenly beings. If future enemies were all guys like this, they would be really hard to deal with!

"..."

Bai Feng was speechless, suddenly not knowing how to respond.

Were the two of them talking about the same thing?

This guy must have something wrong with his head!

Tuohai and the others were even more speechless. To a certain extent, Lin Bai was absolutely right; in the Mortal World, he was indeed a menace...

Only Ye Song felt that something was not quite right.

Tai Shang Lao Jun said that Lin Bai was the reincarnation of Ziwei Dijun, but the situation in the Immortal World was like this, so where did Ziwei Dijun come from?

A guy like Bai Feng was captured and still kept looking down on them. Ziwei Dijun sounded like a very big deal; how could he be reincarnated into an ant that they looked down upon?

There must be something wrong somewhere!

Lin Bai once said that the Righteous Sect was above the San Qian Shi Jie. Could it be that there was an even higher world above the Immortal World?

Lin Bai backhanded his knife and stabbed it into his heart again, accelerating the bloodletting process. He didn't want to turn the guy in front of him into a dish.

No matter what, this guy looked like a human, and he couldn't get past that psychological hurdle.

Lin Bai just wanted to get this guy into a near-death state, turn him into a Puppet, and then interrogate him, which could also increase his own strength...

More and more people were ascending.

Through word of mouth, everyone knew the truth about the Immortal World, and then everyone became depressed. The excitement and joy of ascending to become an immortal before reaching the realm suddenly turned into panic, anxiety, and confusion about the future.

With a knife stabbed into his heart, Bai Feng finally realized that Lin Bai was different from the ascenders he had seen in the past. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Bai: "Let me go, we can discuss anything. I can help you hide the anomaly of this ascension and send you to the Feixu Zhidi. There are defectors there; you can go and join them..."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes in pain. It wasn't because of the physical injury, but because he had lowered his head to an ant, which made him feel extremely humiliated.

"What are defectors?" Ancestor Tuohai thought of a possibility and asked.

"Naturally, they are ascenders who are unwilling to serve the Celestials." Bai Feng's tone habitually remained condescending, "Those people tried every means to defect and escape, living like rats hidden in the Ruins. It is only because the Celestials are unwilling to set foot in such filthy places with their pure bodies; otherwise, how could they have been allowed to live until now..."

Ruins?

Filthy places?

Is this the life led by the ancestors who once ascended?

The state of mind of Tuohai and the others grew increasingly desolate.

At this moment.

After Bai Feng revealed the truth about the defectors, he finally realized something was wrong and asked in horror, "What have you done to me again?"

"Truth Spell," Lin Bai said, "You cannot speak any falsehoods in front of me."

"..."

A moment of silence.

Accompanied by the gurgling sound of flowing blood, Bai Feng asked, "Who exactly are you? People from the lower realm could never possess such divine abilities and spells!"

"I come from a world higher than yours. In my heart, you are also ants, but I am more noble. In my eyes, all living beings are equal. My descent into the mortal world this time is precisely to save the common people who are being abused by you," Lin Bai smiled.

"I don't believe it. It is impossible for there to be a race higher than the Celestials," Bai Feng snorted with disdain, "You are nothing more than an ant that has mastered a special divine ability. You don't need to be arrogant; I am merely a Bronze, the lowest rank among Celestials. Taking me down is no great feat. If you encountered a Silver Celestial, you wouldn't last a single round under him, let alone the fact that you are carrying so many pieces of trash. Let me go, and I will send you to the Ruins; you might still live for a few more days."

"No rush," Lin Bai smiled, patiently waiting for his blood to drain, "I want to verify just how strong the vitality of you guys is."

"You are crazy. Do you know how much risk I took by letting you go?" Bai Feng looked at the unyielding Lin Bai and said angrily, "Killing me will bring you no benefits!"

"What rank is above Silver?" Lin Bai asked, "Gold?"

"Let me go," Bai Feng finally learned to be smart, "Otherwise I won't tell you."

"Let's change the subject. You have no gender; where do you come from?" Lin Bai asked with a smile, unconcerned.

Bai Feng glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Bai shook his head, retracted the Red Rope with a thought, and chopped off his arm with a blade.

During the cooking process, one can only use culinary skills on the ingredients; no other Skills can be used.

Wanting to break through Bai Feng's Spiritual Power or directly inflict heavy injuries on him was impossible, so Lin Bai could only use the Zaitixie Zhi Shu to dismember him. In any case, when he was sealed into a card later, no matter how broken he was, he would instantly be restored to wholeness.

"Ah!"

A scream.

Bai Feng was terrified: "Mother Body, we were all born from the Mother Body."

Mother Body?

It's somewhat similar to the way of the Zerg!

Lin Bai learned about the new world step by step and asked: "What about the ranks?"

Facing such a ruthless person who would resort to killing at the slightest provocation, Bai Feng dared not hesitate and said rapidly: "Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Star Diamond, Star Brilliance, Heavenly King."

Hearing these ranks, the hearts of Tuohai and the others grew even colder. A mere Bronze was already this powerful; if they encountered higher ranks, they would only be crushed. No wonder the Celestials treated them as ants!

"How many Mother Bodies are there?" Lin Bai asked.

"Nine," Bai Feng said, giving up on everything, "Every Heavenly King has a Mother Body under their command."

"In other words, there are only nine Heavenly Kings in the Immortal World?" Lin Bai asked.

"Correct, the Immortal World has always had nine Heavenly Kings," Bai Feng said, "Whenever a new Heavenly King ascends, they will challenge an old Heavenly King; killing the old Heavenly King allows one to become the new Heavenly King..."

"How powerful is a Heavenly King?" Lin Bai asked.

"They can destroy the world at will," Bai Feng said, "Possessing the strength to shatter stars qualifies one to become a Heavenly King."

An image of the two divine trees Lin Bai had once shown her growing in the universe suddenly flashed through Qingyun's mind. Her worry suddenly vanished, and she said disdainfully: "Heavenly Kings aren't that great either!"

Lin Bai had long forgotten what he had done. He looked at Qingyun strangely and thought to himself, who gave you the courage!

Shattering stars!

Even a small asteroid is not easy to shatter!

Damn it!

What kind of enemies are placed before him!

If it were Earthlings, encountering such a Heavenly King, they would also be enslaved with no chance to resist.

Although the system is full of Earth culture, it seems it has nothing to do with Earth anymore; Earthlings shouldn't be able to create such an awesome system...

My heart is so tired!

"I have already told you everything I know. Please, let me go! Help me reattach my arm; I can still live. If you don't let me go, I'm a dead man." Bai Feng finally lowered his posture and begged bitterly, "By then, you won't be able to escape the pursuit of General Nan."

"What rank is General Nan?" Lin Bai collected his scattered thoughts and asked.

"Platinum. He is a Platinum Star," Bai Feng said, "He is two whole ranks higher than me. You people wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from him."

Platinum Star?

Jotaro?

Does he also know how to stop time?

Lin Bai was speechless for a moment. After thinking, he released the War God Body: "Bai Feng, come and see, what rank is this?"

"..." Bai Feng was stunned when he suddenly saw the War God Body, "How could you have a Celestial body?"

"What rank is he?" Lin Bai asked again.

"He doesn't even have a Soul; he is basically dead. How could he have a rank?" Bai Feng said.

Tuohai and the others also couldn't help but be stunned as they looked at the War God Body that Lin Bai had released, which was identical to Bai Feng.

Suddenly.

They were full of confidence in the future again. That's right, they still had Lin Bai and the Justice Sect; why fear these Celestials?

Perhaps Lin Bai was sent to the mortal world by the Justice Sect precisely to save them...

"No Soul, huh!"

Lin Bai muttered a sound, used the Soul-Splitting Technique, and another Lin Bai was split out.

As soon as the split soul emerged, he was directed by Lin Bai to drill into the War God Body.

Then.

The War God Body opened its eyes and walked back and forth on the ground twice.

Bai Feng's eyes widened into perfect circles, and he said in disbelief, "How is this possible? How could your Soul enter the Celestial Human Body? No, that's not right, how could your Spirit Soul be split out? Who exactly are you?"

"I am a higher civilization; nothing is impossible!" An extra perspective appeared in Lin Bai's mind; he sensed the War God Body and subconsciously circulated his cultivation technique.

Whoosh!

A vortex seemed to form on the War God Body, and Spirit Qi surged backward, all pouring into the dantian of the War God Body through the vortex.

Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Piercing, Great Vehicle, Tribulation Transcendence; in no more than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the War God Body completed the growth that people of the lower realm would need hundreds or thousands of years to finish.

"Bronze Realm, how could it be so fast?" Bai Feng had a look of shock on his face and muttered, "This really is a Celestial Human Body..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his head drooped, and he suddenly entered a near-death state.

Lin Bai quickly switched out of his chef persona, threw out a golden card, and golden light scattered out, sealing the unconscious Bai Feng into the card.
