Chapter 418: Anchoring Begins

After testing the waters on members of the 【Great Love Plan】 headquarters, Li Ang no longer paid them any attention.

Barring special circumstances, those aliens would never be able to shake off the control of the Double-Full Hands for the rest of their lives.

'Then I can rest easy and Analyze the world essence next.'

Li Ang stood calmly in the void, gazing down at the azure planet beneath his feet as he thought to himself.

Once outside interference was ruled out, he could continue completing the missions of the Main Universe.

Of course, trouble didn't only come from the 【Great Love Plan】, but also from 【Wuzheng Sanmei】.

According to the spirit bodies of 【Wuzheng Sanmei】 members he had captured, their leader was currently heading toward Earth, and was considerably stronger than Kate.

Using Kate's Tier 4 strength as a benchmark, the opponent should be somewhere between the peak of Tier 4 and Tier 5.

Li Ang felt the latter was more likely, since Kate probably wasn't even the strongest member of the 【Great Love Plan】.

Still, Li Ang didn't take this matter to heart — with his current strength, an ordinary Tier 5 simply couldn't possibly be his match.

'But this world essence—'

Li Ang's earlier guess had indeed been correct: the world essence was indeed connected to the main storyline, but that wasn't the only reason his analysis speed was so fast.

The 【Immortal】 skills and feats, the help of the Main Universe, and the 【Immortal】 itself.

There was a connection between the world's special profession and the world essence — something Li Ang had only recently discovered.

But thinking it over carefully, it was perfectly normal. After all, the world's special professions were generally highly representative, like the Ōtsutsuki in the Naruto world or the little dragonfolk in the Dragon Clan world.

'This really is—'

Undoubtedly, this was good news for Li Ang, who possessed 【Console Player】. The world's special profession was itself one of the things he sought on his journey.

Being able to kill two birds with one stone right now was naturally for the best.

After steadying his emotions, Li Ang continued analyzing the world essence.

After a period of analysis, he had roughly figured out what this world actually contained within it.

Humans.

Ordinary people, aberrants, immortals...

Any being possessing this concept was encompassed within.

He could only say this essence hadn't really exceeded his expectations.

"What is a person, what is a person..."

It seemed that Under One Person had been exploring this question from beginning to end.

Once he realized this, his profession panel also popped up a timely notification.

【You have successfully analyzed the world essence. World anchoring is about to begin.】

【There is a probability of resistance occurring during the anchoring process. Please prepare accordingly and ensure your safety.】

【Once anchoring is complete, you will obtain half of this world's ownership.】

"?"

Looking at the notification on his profession panel, the corner of Li Ang's eye couldn't help but twitch.

He knew world development couldn't possibly be that simple — if it were all as easy as before, the Federation and the Empire wouldn't be so short on manpower.

But after seeing the last piece of information, Li Ang's expression immediately changed.

Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? Protecting one's own property is everyone's responsibility — how could he possibly have any complaints?

The words 'half ownership' were easy to understand: once the Main Universe successfully anchored the Under One Person world, Li Ang would become one of the world's shareholders.

As for who owned the other half...

Li Ang didn't need to think to know it was the Main Universe — after going through all this trouble, the Main Universe must certainly have grand designs.

He had no objections to this. In the end, the Main Universe had also contributed during the process of developing the world.

Moreover, Li Ang had never even heard of things like anchoring. Completely cutting out the Main Universe to go solo was utterly unrealistic — being able to get half already made him feel the Main Universe was generous enough.

'No wonder the Federation and the Empire are so eager. I just don't know what benefits this ownership actually brings.'

'But if that's the case, then when the Federation and the Empire entered the DnD world, wasn't it—'

Thinking about what these two powers might have done in DnD, Li Ang's expression immediately turned strange.

No wonder that Shenshangshen Society, which basically never bothered with affairs, had appeared in the Main Universe — though looking at it this way, the Federation and the Empire were far more powerful than he had imagined.

One had to know that His Majesty Io was no weakling.

Singular? Multiversal?

The strength this being displayed varied across different sourcebooks, and Li Ang wasn't clear on exactly how powerful they were.

And to be able to keep such an existence at peace, the Federation and the Empire clearly weren't weak either.

But if his inference was accurate, then wouldn't that mean—

'I wouldn't have been targeted long ago, would I?!'

Li Ang was startled and immediately furrowed his brow.

Fortunately, the young man quickly steadied his mindset.

Whether or not higher beings had set their sights on him, it wasn't something he could resist right now. Since that was the case, he might as well think about what to eat today.

But Li Ang personally leaned toward 'no' — after all, if the two talents he possessed were exposed, even if the Federation and the Empire didn't plan to dissect him for research, they couldn't possibly let him run around loose outside.

One had to know that he genuinely had a very small chance of threatening these two behemoths' position in the Main Universe.

Just like those five cosmic megacorporations in the Corporate Coalition.

Thinking of this, Li Ang let out a light breath, then looked toward the 【Traveler】 talent.

If he hadn't been discovered, then the Main Universe had clearly played a role in it — he didn't believe his actions could have escaped the notice of those higher beings.

Fortunately, after successfully class-changing into 【Immortal】, he could at last be considered to barely possess the ability to shield against prying eyes.

But this in turn raised a new question.

That is why the Zhuyuzhou wants to block his existence.

Unless

He is very dissatisfied with what the Federation and the Empire have done.

Is half the ownership too little?

Not too little, but the Federation and the Empire clearly feel they should have more. This should be the reason the Zhuyuzhou Society is looking for a new partner.

'So 【Traveler】.'

Li Ang stopped his thoughts, his eyes flickering between light and dark for a moment.

After a long while, he let out a long breath, burying the thought deep in his heart.
