Chapter 419: Why Does My Profession Panel Have an Anime Art Style?

These matters were still far too distant for him; the Fifth Energy Level, placed within a normal world, could already be called the absolute pinnacle.

But if one were to expand the scale to the multiverse—

A star-buster? Nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

The grand stage of the multiverse—if you've got a cheat, come on in!

Thinking of this, Li Ang felt a long-absent twinge of urgency.

'I still need to obtain power as quickly as possible.'

Although he, who possessed the 【Immortal】 profession, could perfectly well hole up in some corner and impersonate a protagonist of the cautious-survival school, the problem was that the Main Universe clearly would not let such a useful tool of a person go.

Moreover, blindly playing it safe did not fit Li Ang's usual style, so he could only think of ways to continue acquiring power.

Fortunately, once he obtained the ownership of a One-Person World, he could resume planting trees.

Through the 【Great Love Plan】, Li Ang already had a concrete concept of the size of a One-Person World—roughly equivalent to one-third of a star domain in the Main World.

Although the number of life-bearing planets within was not great, it was already sufficient.

After all, with the help of 【From Falsehood Into Truth】, Li Ang already had some inkling of how to imbue artificial humans with the Ōtsutsuki concept.

And once it was truly completed, it would be fine even if there were no life on the planet.

'Then let me see now what this so-called resistance actually is.'

Just as he was thinking this, a certain aura that made him extremely uncomfortable suddenly spread through the void.

Feeling this aura that came from who knew where, Li Ang immediately knit his brows tightly.

'This…?'

Three Calamities, Nine Tribulations, Five Hardships.

As someone who came from the Zuoweixuan Sect, Li Ang was naturally very familiar with these concepts; only in the past he had only ever seen similar descriptions in the Daoist Canon, never expecting that one day he would experience them in person.

But this did not seem to be anything worth being surprised about—after all, from the perspective of the One-Person World, Li Ang was completely a traitor who bit the hand that fed him.

Clearly an Immortal, yet colluding with Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons—who knew what he wanted to do to It.

Although Li Ang was not an original resident of the One-Person World, strictly speaking he could not be counted as biting the hand that fed him, and coming into contact with the Main Universe was not necessarily a bad thing either.

Those who stay near cinnabar turn red, those who stay near ink turn black; hooking up with an entity on the level of the Main Universe, the One-Person World had a very high chance of slowly ascending in grade.

This was a conclusion Li Ang had drawn from the information on his profession panel.

But the One-Person World, lacking spiritual intelligence, could not be bothered with so much—today It was determined to kill this traitor!

"Tch."

Feeling his body growing increasingly uncomfortable, Li Ang could not help but slightly furrow his brow.

Being too closely connected to a world's origin also had its drawbacks—namely, during the anchoring phase one was more susceptible to backlash; fortunately, he was not merely an 【Immortal】.

Ignoring the aura of decay that lingered around him, as well as the fire, water, and wind that filled the void, Li Ang murmured in a low voice: "If this is all there is, then I'll take this world."

"And for you, this is also a good thing."

With the help of 【Tongtian】, he believed the One-Person World would be able to receive this information.

Unfortunately, his persuasion did not work; the terrifying tribulation that would kill an ordinary person on contact intensified once again by several degrees.

"."

Seeing this, Li Ang slightly lowered his eyelids, did not say anything more, and instead silently activated a certain ability.

Sage Robbery, let me see your limits!

These so-called tribulations are nothing but a bit of wind and frost! Devour them for me!

【Used Sage Robbery to devour tribulation, obtained an extremely small amount of incomplete special attribute: Love】.

【Used Sage Robbery to devour tribulation, obtained an extremely small amount of incomplete special attribute: Old】.

……

Elsewhere, an utterly unremarkable starship slowly sailed through the stars.

Inside the starship, a somewhat sullen-looking middle-aged man kept rubbing between his fingers the latest intelligence he had obtained not long ago: "Immortals… I didn't expect they actually existed."

Recalling the specific contents of the intelligence, the sullen look between the man's brows faded slightly.

Just then, a crew member in the cockpit suddenly turned his head and said with a strange expression: "Leader, we've detected a starship belonging to a member of the 【Great Love Plan】 headquarters on radar; it looks like they're heading to Earth too."

"Where?"

"Just not far ahead of us. Their speed is very slow."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man slightly narrowed his eyes, and after dropping a single sentence, vanished without a trace: "Continue on the route."

"Yes."

The crew, long used to such things, immediately turned back and continued operating the starship.

By now the middle-aged man was already standing in the cold void of space.

Looking at the massive starship emblazoned with the words 【Great Love Plan】, a flash of surprise inevitably passed through his eyes.

'Those old fellows actually sent Kaite over?'

After a brief deliberation, the middle-aged man decided to enter the starship to investigate.

He reckoned that, given his own strength, the other party most likely would not detect him.

Thinking of this, the sullen middle-aged man's lips could not help but curl into a faintly mocking smile, and he promptly entered the starship before him.

But the moment he entered the starship, he vaguely sensed something not quite right.

'…Strange.'

The middle-aged man stood in the corridor, watching hostile personnel walk past him chatting and laughing.

Unfortunately, after observing for quite a while, he still could not pinpoint where this odd feeling came from.

With no choice, the middle-aged man could only temporarily suppress the feeling, and strode toward the main cockpit.

Yet the closer he got to the main cockpit, the more he felt something was off; his intuition kept urging him to leave the place, as though continuing to investigate would lead to something extremely terrifying.

Finally, the middle-aged man stopped in front of the main cockpit.

Looking at the sealed hatch before him, he fell into a brief moment of hesitation.

But in the end, he still decided to enter the main cockpit to find out what was going on.

The middle-aged man was not unfamiliar with Kate; as a core member of the 【Great Love Plan】, she had personally wrecked quite a few of 【Wuzheng Sanmei】's schemes.

If conditions allowed, he wouldn't mind killing her with his own hands.

'If you have to blame someone, blame those old men for sending you here.'

With this thought, the middle-aged man appeared inside the main cockpit.

And then he saw a scene that made his hair stand on end.

At this moment, every crew member in the main cockpit was staring at him in unison, as if his concealment had completely lost its effect.

The middle-aged man slightly furrowed his brow and shifted his steps to a different position.

But it was useless.

The gazes of everyone present remained firmly locked on him.

Realizing his concealment had failed, the middle-aged man immediately turned a cold face toward the woman with a wooden expression not far away: ". I didn't expect you to be capable of this, Kate."

"."

Kate didn't speak, just staring blankly along with her subordinates at the enemy who had suddenly appeared in the main cockpit.

Seeing this, a trace of doubt flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

What was going on?

Were all the people of the Great Love Plan this unafraid of death?

The moment this thought arose, the strange feeling he had sensed along the way flashed through his mind.

The middle-aged man's face instantly darkened, and he prepared to strike and wipe out everyone aboard this starship.

But just as he was about to make his move, a piece of information suddenly entered his mind out of nowhere.

What was this?

The middle-aged man's expression changed. He sharply turned his head toward a corner of the main cockpit, and immediately a youth emanating an aura of decay came into view.

When did he appear?!

No, that's not right—the other party seemed to have been standing there from the very beginning; it was only now that he had become aware of it.

At that moment, a whisper, as if coming from the Nine Underworlds, began to linger in the middle-aged man's ears.

"Interesting... you can actually see me?"

"Scum."
