“…” Qin Muye had a dark expression, was the desire for revenge this strong?
“Sigh, I hope you’re sensible, otherwise next time… I might have to send over some body parts.” Qin Muye sighed, he had wanted to be a good person, but it ended up that he was using rather harsh methods. It was a good thing he was strong enough, or he might have been seen as a stepping stone for some heroic character passing by to defeat evil.
“That’s not the case, Master. Our investigation of many Transcendents with legendary traits, as well as Great Nobles, has shown that most are just tales spun by minstrels or results of misinformation.” The intelligence department responded promptly.
“No need, what if he is killed? Where would we find another tool as useful as him?”
“But we can’t just let it slide either. How about this: you have someone shave off all his body hair, then strip him naked and put him in a torn sack, and hang it at the bedside of Zijing Xian during the night.” Qin Muye reflected for a moment; since he had already issued a warning, the message should be even stronger this time.
“Having gone through three servers, only Emperor Shen You of the Warlock Dynasty comes close, perhaps because the protagonist is not in this era?”
“From what I see now, it’s not certain that there will be a protagonist, especially given the unique circumstances of the Warlock Dynasty.” Qin Muye nodded. Protagonists couldn’t possibly be everywhere. If that were the case, Qin Muye would certainly run away at the first chance, not even caring about rewards or incentives.
“Oh, send him back to the Zijing Mountain Territory, and leave him a letter telling him not to play tricks anymore. The next time he messes with us, we’ll chop off the hands of his major subordinates.” After some thought, Qin Muye decided to proceed with this plan.
“If one day a great Unification Empire is truly formed, would trade wars, propaganda wars, and so forth once again pose a severe challenge to the War God?”
“It seems the collapse of the war model has led to more serious mutations in the War God?”
“Yes, Master.” The intelligence department was quick to act.
“Speaking of protagonists, Intelligence Department, have you found any information about the Child of Destiny, or the likes of a protagonist?” Qin Muye casually inquired.
“I hope the War God lives to see these wars without gunpowder… I hope humanity does too.”
“Should we teach them a lesson? Just sending him back is too lenient for Duke Baishuang.” The Spirit Monster in the intelligence department asked.
“This speed is not right, he’s a 7th-order entity, yet he’s crawling slowly. Normally, he should have arrived in a matter of seconds.”
“If this stretches across most of the Main Material Plane, the casualties shouldn’t be too severe, right?”
“Master, Duke Baishuang has been tied up. How do you plan to deal with him?” The intelligence department reported in a timely manner.
After all, being semi-digitized, drops upon death would certainly be random.
After all, his actions completely deviated from those of the typical arch-villains and were more like that of a petty villain who used extremely harsh methods.
However, the situation with the Magic God is clearly different, as Qin Muye has redirected warfare into a bloody spectacle again. But this was just the beginning; further strategies such as conspiracy and fraud are expected to keep transforming warfare. Presently, war is savage and bloody but remains very primitive.
But the larger the size, combined with a mess of various movements, naturally looks extremely terrifying.
But this is also a qualitative change, from the original scripted play to genuinely deadly altercations, and with the intervention of Spirit Monsters, the war model has made leaps and bounds.
Likewise, Qin Muye’s gaze quickly returned to the War God, who was crawling in a highly distorted manner towards Sam’s direction.
Besides, he did not believe there was a chance for such development in this server; with Qin Muye here, how could it possibly develop into a great Unification? Unless some unpredictable variable suddenly appeared, essentially, this server had no future.
Anyway, the two of them had formed an alliance. Qin Muye would let them untie the bond only after he had acquired all their Divine Artifacts; otherwise, they could forget about leaving.
The situation among the Nobles was more complicated, so even the Divine Church couldn’t meddle in it. They could even get rebuffed because most Nobles also served as Priests.

The good news is that Zijing Immortal, that unlucky thing, isn’t on this trajectory, allowing Qin Muye to continue duping the other party’s Divine Artifact.
The bad news, of course, is also because Zijing Immortal isn’t on this trajectory, Qin Muye missed the chance to make outrageous demands.
Chaos will persist until the whole world is annihilated; only in muddy waters can one catch fish. What Qin Muye is doing is stirring up chaos in the entire server, from humans to gods.
A warning will suffice, no need for a fight to the death, he still wants the other party’s Divine Artifact after all.
Two places headed in completely opposite directions; naturally, they won’t be found.
Conspiring for wealth at the cost of lives; he hasn’t even got his hands on the wealth, yet lives are already at risk. If Zijing Immortal and Duke Baishuang are as close as brothers, mobilizing troops to attack might be secondary, but Qin Muye worries about a scenario where both fish and net are lost, damaging his Divine Artifact in the process.
Qin Muye made a quick guess at the War God’s trajectory, coming up with good news and bad news.
Qin Muye thought, if every era had a protagonist, then that would be defying fate itself.
Qin Muye could only hope. Support was out of the question; hope was just wishful thinking, and dreaming didn’t cost a penny, so of course Qin Muye allowed himself this luxury. But to actually offer support would mean incurring costs, something he was unwilling to do even verbally.
Qin Muye had watched this creature crawl for three days now, leaving a trail of corpses wherever it went, and the gods showed no sign of movement either, clearly preoccupied with their own troubles.
If the Magic God was a wriggling mass of rotten flesh, then the War God was something different altogether, like a giant animal skinned alive, covered in numerous limbs. Its massive body kept moving forward, similar to some kind of mutated crawling creature.
Though the Magic God and War God were both third-rate gods due to the small number of worshippers and their bizarre existence.
Their method of analyzing whether someone was the protagonist was very simple, just casting Reconnaissance Skill to check their Talent, which obviously yielded no results.
He didn’t want to gamble; if he didn’t manage to extract the items, the loss would be substantial.
It was nothing more than leading a charge to kill everyone, then seizing all of their possessions for himself.
Someone as shameless as Qin Muye was relatively rare. More often, it was the extra villains who were this shameless.
Otherwise, why would Qin Muye let them off? He tormented them to death just because of the Divine Artifact’s sake, as the saying goes “no man is guilty, but he who carries a jade invites a beating.” As a villain, how could he just sit by and watch someone possess a Divine Artifact?

If one side really wanted a truce, to suddenly find out they’d been cuckolded by the enemy nobles, raising the enemy’s son for eighteen years, and what’s worse, if the wife and son seriously thought about killing oneself to hand over to the lover, such maneuvering would prevent any thoughts of a truce. They would probably turn into the Incredible Hulk on the spot and smash the opponent to death.
Because Qin Muye wasn’t the Lord, there was no Loyalty attribute for the other party on his panel, and naturally, he wasn’t clear whether Duke Baishuang had been subjugated by Zijing Immortal during this period. But Qin Muye simply assumed that the other party was already subjugated, and the level of Loyalty didn’t matter.
The war was escalating fiercely, with Qin Muye’s Spirit Monsters actively inciting chaos; naturally, they weren’t going to stop. Each one was even getting their hands dirty behind the scenes to ensure the war didn’t end, making it impossible to stop.
Violence was definitely not an option, as pillaging couldn’t take away all of a Lord’s resources. It’s not like he was a native who could just rush in and loot. As a Lord, there were privileges, so Qin Muye could only keep enduring for now. If the world lost its value and he still couldn’t get what he wanted, then he’d just have to pillage and send the other party on their way.
This world didn’t have a Commerce God, because things were indeed too chaotic. If such a god came into being, they would likely only be a puppet.
It’s like someone advising you to reconcile with the home-wrecker after you’ve been wronged, seeking your forgiveness. How can there be reconciliation? Hand over one’s life to them? Not killing the persuader on the spot was already a consideration for the priests of the Divine Church trying to mediate.
Such things had to wait for the right moment to emerge.
A true villain wouldn’t extort as blatantly and openly as Qin Muye; they would at least find a fig leaf for decency.
Mainly because the Spirit Monsters felt that Duke Baishuang, this inside traitor, dared to act while using the Mage System Qin Muye provided him with. It’s like seeking death in ways not even imaginable.
In the end, Qin Muye did not take the advice of the intelligence department’s Spirit Monsters, because, after all, acting on it would result in a direct confrontation.
