“Once it’s discovered, you either start the Big Escape Killing or choose to exchange for benefits.”

“Hold on, I’ve been thinking, you can’t be too greedy, it’s fine as long as you get the stuff.” The moment Ji Shan heard about being used to hit others again, how could he be happy? He didn’t even want the stuff anymore; it’s not like it was worth anything.

“So, before I wanted to devour the world, I have to protect it from harm first?” Qin Muye was flabbergasted.

“Looks like this time the dog’s brain really needs to be knocked out.”

“You see, I’m carrying this thing and have run so far without anyone chasing me, what does that tell you? It tells you that this thing is not worth a dime. I’ll just take a piece and walk away, they would probably be glad I’m gone, one less competitor.” Qin Muye didn’t think it was his charisma that subdued them.

“Oh, then shall we go back and take another piece? Since it’s not worth anything anyway.” Ji Shan figured since it didn’t cost anything, it might be good to take more.

“Man-made?”

“Seems…not a bad deal.” Qin Muye squinted his eyes.

“Damn it… It couldn’t have been some Lord on the Magic Continent Server with a Talent to intercept the Main Character’s opportunities, could it?” Qin Muye suddenly thought of the Magic Continent where such a big calamity was supposed to produce a main character-style person, but instead, there wasn’t even a single hair.

“Sure, I can snatch it and handle the backlash, but who’s going to bear the following disasters?” Qin Muye’s idea was simple, duty and responsibility are relative. He would snatch the main character’s stuff and leave, then possibly the entire Shining Universe Server might be destroyed because of it.

“Damn, dad, you just blatantly took a piece and walked away, won’t they hit you?” Ji Shan was feeling incredulous; it’s almost like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth.

“I hope the remaining three Lords don’t interfere with the Main Character’s growth,” Qin Muye wasn’t worried about the natives but rather that the Lords might mess things up.

“Alright, but if it comes to a fight, you’d better stand firm because I’m relying on you to throw at people,” Qin Muye paused and prepared to head back.

“Tch, you really don’t get it, do you? You’re even worse than me. The piece I grabbed is not too big or too small; it’s lodged right in everyone’s hearts. If it were any bigger, they definitely wouldn’t be happy, which is why it’s worthless.” Qin Muye said and didn’t really intend to go back for another piece.

“We can only monitor the situation for now and see what the Main Character plans to do next. From what I can tell, he’s like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire, without any real power.”

“We’ll just have to take it one step at a time. If all else fails…we’ll have the True Dragon Emperor take the Main Character’s place.” Qin Muye still had an artificial Main Character Aura that theoretically could be used. He’d allocate a share to the Emperor when the time came, letting him fight the heavens and the earth.

After all, this was just a part of a Sub-dimension, not a complete one, so it was natural for it to gradually wither in an irreversible way.

Unless Qin Muye went to seize the Main Character, but if it were that easy to snatch, would it still be the main character? Probably just a fake one.

Sub-dimensions indeed come in artificial and natural forms, but natural ones can also undergo artificial modifications after being discovered. This type of reengineered Sub-dimension is generally used for shelters, research bases, and the like.

However, this Sub-dimension had reached an S Energy Level, and currently, no civilization has managed to attain this level of advancement. The highest artificial Sub-dimension can only reach an A Level, which corresponds to Tier 7.

This Sub-dimension, however, was purely artificial without a trace of natural elements.

Of course, his artificial Main Character Aura was also flawed, as it was fake and had limited effects, there was naturally a gap compared to the original.

To deal with this kind of experimental subject, you have to save the nation through indirect means; going straight for it would likely miss the target.

And naturally, he then took the Sub-dimension back to the laboratory for research—what else was he supposed to do?

On the contrary, the Magic Continent lacked one; this was illogical. Clearly, some Lord relied on his Talent to intercept the opportunities meant for the main character, preventing the main character from growing and even intercepting more than one, eventually leading to the destruction of the Magic Continent!

The reactive S-Level Transcendents only glanced at it and didn’t plan to pursue the matter. Although they didn’t know why Qin Muye wanted to snatch it, a small piece missing didn’t matter much to them, and moreover, it was healing bit by bit, expected to recover in three to five days.

The Sub-dimension piece that had been snatched was disintegrating bit by bit, akin to the way blood coagulates after a person bleeds.

After returning to the Endless Abyss, Qin Muye casually tossed Ji Shan to a Spirit Monster, instructing it to take Ji Shan for an eggshell polish.

Upon entering research mode, Qin Muye immediately noticed the artificial traces in the Sub-dimension.

The Lords seemed like heretics who stepped out of the Three Realms and beyond the Five Elements, with every move they made disrupting the development of events.

Creating artificial sub-dimensions was not a rare feat, provided one had adequate space technology—all major powers had this capability.

The prerequisite, however, was that the protagonist could not come to harm.

Qin Muye was very curious about this device, since it essentially belonged to the subspace, and although different from the Spirit Realm, it was fairly similar.

Qin Muye preferred to avoid handing over the sub-dimension and instead initiate a cycle of fleeing, counter-killing, then fleeing and counter-killing again to grow stronger through repeated challenges.

Even though Qin Muye said this, he had also started planning how to scheme for benefits from the protagonist.

“How can you even compare with someone whose background is this universe?”

“They are a high-tier S-level character, they have the capricious luxury to give away a piece without it being an issue.”

The best strategy was naturally to let the protagonist handle it themselves, and then when things were wrapped up, Qin Muye would strike with poison, using Ji Shan to crush the protagonist and devour the world.

“Protect them? How could that be possible? Qin Muye is already very kind not to cause trouble, how could he possibly protect the protagonist just because he is the protagonist?”

Yes, he wanted to devour this server; a snake swallowing an elephant is normal, but that doesn’t mean the snake can defeat the elephant.

Firstly, it seemed that the ancient technologies probably wouldn’t fall into the hands of the three major powers—it would be the protagonist who got them.

The God Emperor of the Warlock Dynasty, the Gendaya Mother Goddess of the Gods’ Realm—these were all representative types of protagonists, along with the current unknown protagonist; in fact, they all existed.

Although the Spirit Monster’s report claimed there was nothing of value, Qin Muye also felt it was indeed so. However, given that the protagonist could take control of the entire sub-dimension in a month showed that the artificial Dimension Core was also part of their technology, accessible simply through authorized login.

Thus, Qin Muye naturally thought of these things.

So this was essentially giving a bargain to Qin Muye.

If he were to make a move, he could prepare to switch servers.

At present, he lacked the temporary skills of a supporting character, so he did not wish to confront the protagonist just yet; he would rather take a look through remote communication first.

Trying to exchange favors seemed too unlikely, not matching the protagonist’s style. The protagonist is supposed to fight their way to the pinnacle of the pyramid.

If Qin Muye were bold enough to demand the sub-dimension, it might indeed lead to a real fight.

After slyly nabbing a piece of the sub-dimension, Qin Muye decisively took off, and his speed was incredibly fast.

For them, this brief moment was no more than the blink of an eye, so what’s done was done.

And so, the matter was left at that. What else could be done? Pursue the other party directly? They would be better off finding the controller of this sub-dimension. Why bear a grudge against Qin Muye? Which interest was greater or lesser, they could clearly distinguish.

This was not what Qin Muye wanted to see; he couldn’t withstand a crisis capable of destroying an 8th-tier server.

Thus, the value of this sub-dimension had increased significantly, not only containing resources but possibly also some civilization technologies that had vanished from this world.

This was considered a worst-case scenario.

If it were a lower-tier S-level character, talks would likely be necessary.

As for the Transcendents who hadn’t even had the time to react, they wouldn’t say anything; generally, those who couldn’t keep their mouths shut at this level of power were either strong enough to fight, or they had already been killed. Most were killed, not because they were actually able to fight.

As for acting now, that was out of the question; utterly unprepared and to dare make a move would mean being killed, for this world was not one he could dominate.

The protagonist was there, and what followed might well be a fight to the death.

The Main Character Aura was indeed not omnipotent, but it was no trifling matter; if push came to shove, Qin Muye’s first choice would be to flee unless necessary. He couldn’t really go head-to-head with them, could he?
