After a brief silence, Li Yao continued in a low, solemn, and emotionless voice. "Other than the 'slaughter streamers' such as you, other Immortal Cultivators seem to have arrived here and call themselves' players', right?"
Liao Fei was slightly dazed. Then he nodded and said, "Yes. A lot of people arrive at the Land of Sins every day. Usually, everybody is scattered in every part of the Land of Sins. This time, I'm told that 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie, a local expert, has emerged in the Land of Sins and is about to attack Liberty City in the 'Elysian World'. Therefore, the players everywhere have gathered and are ready to have some fun."
"The Land of Sins?"
Li Yao chewed on the name slowly. "For the natives of this place, it is a wasteland of sins, but for the 'players' such as yourself, it is naturally an out-and-out paradise. Then, other than the 'slaughter streamers' such as yourself, who else are there?"
"Some of them are here for trial quests and to compete with each other."
Liao Fei was referring to the Immortal Cultivator players such as the 'Red Viper Squad'. "The Imperium of True Human Beings advocates competition. Whether it is to advance from a low-level school to a higher-level school for further studies, to compete for the ranking of the first heir in a big family, or to enter a big enterprise, a big group, or a big sect as a John Doe, they have to have decent results in the trials.
"The Land of Sins is the best trial field. There are all kinds of monsters and thugs here, and you will run into all kinds of bizarre situations. It is the best place to test the comprehensive quality and natural reflexes of a trial taker. But it is also relatively closed and controllable, which makes it easier to draft quests of various difficulties.
"Therefore, a lot of famous schools, families, and sects in the Imperium have put all kinds of trial quests and advancement tests in the Land of Sins. It is very credible.
"For the rookies who are new to the world, passing the test in the Land of Sins will be a rather boastful mark on their resume.
"Other than the 'slaughter streamers' and the 'quest takers', there are also tourists …"
"Wait."
Li Yao frowned. "Tourists. Are there people here for sightseeing?"
"Of course."
Liao Fei smiled bitterly. "The survival of the Imperium of True Human Beings can be very difficult. Even the Immortal Cultivators are faced with tremendous pressure in their daily life. Not only do they have to carry out risky missions, but they also have to deal with the internal conflicts and schemes. While the high-level Immortal Cultivators above the Core Formation Stage can live an extravagant life, the Immortal Cultivators in the Refinement Stage and the Building Foundation Stage, especially the poor kids who are not protected by the renowned sects and the ancient sects, can also lead a miserable life.
"Those people are at the bottom level of the Immortal Cultivators in the first place. Many of them do not have their own territory or slaves to vent their frustrations on. It must be noted that most hominoids are not slaves, at least not in the legal sense. Even if they are slaves, if they belong to a certain expert, they are not something that the low-level Immortal Cultivators can play with and butcher casually.
"Therefore, after those low-level Immortal Cultivators save enough money and feel too stressed, they often choose to spend their holidays in the Land of Sins. After all, the people here are the slaves of slaves and ants. As long as they have enough money, they can call themselves kings and do whatever they want in the place.
"In fact, how many sinners in the Land of Sins are qualified to enjoy the so-called 'Elysian Worlds'? Most of the extravagant enjoyment belongs to the tourists.
"Naturally, if the tourists do not like the enjoyment of debauchery, they are free to go on a killing spree in the Bloody Worlds. With the enhancement of the carefully-designed mission scenes and the most advanced magical equipment, even the sinners who are several levels higher than them will be butchered as if they were pigs and blown up easily. They will fully experience the ecstasy of fighting monsters above their level!"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "That explains a lot. The so-called 'Bloody Worlds' are not the fights among the sinners in the Land of Sins but the blatant butchering by the tourists?"
"Yes," Liao Fei said matter-of-factly.
Liao Fei said matter-of-factly, "Those tourists have paid a fortune to come to the Land of Sins. Naturally, they will not be satisfied with playing with the three-legged bitches in the Elysian Worlds. Those Immortal Cultivators in the Refinement Stage and the Building Foundation Stage have been manipulated and exploited enough by the high-level Immortal Cultivators. Naturally, they have to vent their anger in this place."
"Are there any other Immortal Cultivators?" Li Yao asked. "How many are there in total?"
"Other than the slaughter streamers, the mission trial-takers, and the pure players, there should be magical equipment testers and the guards and workers who are responsible for the operation of the entire Land of Sins here," Liao Fei said. "I can't say for sure how many people there are in total, but there must be at least tens of thousands of them on the entire planet."
"This is not a planet with a large population," Li Yao said. "It is very difficult to reproduce in such a harsh environment. How can the sinners in the Land of Sins be enough when tens of thousands of Immortal Cultivators are doing whatever they want? I'm afraid that they cannot withstand your slaughter, right? Also, have you never been discovered by the natives? "
Rolling his eyes, Liao Fei said, "The number of native-born sinners is naturally far from enough. Therefore, countless hominoid slaves and Immortal Cultivators who have committed unpardonable crimes are shipped from various Sectors of the Imperium every year. After their memories are sealed, they are thrown down to make up for the shortcomings of this place. The Imperium has a large territory and a large population. It is not a problem at all.
"As for whether or not the natives have ever discovered them, they certainly have. But even if they have, what can they do? Nothing grows in the Land of Sins. Most of the resources have to be delivered by the Heavenly Rails. As long as the transmission of resources is cut off, even the most heroic experts will have to kneel and beg for mercy, cooperate with us obediently, and kill other insiders, or they will only be killed together with us! "
Li Yao went on. "What is the so-called 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' exactly? Can the sinners in the Land of Sins really get rid of their identity in the past and become 'angels', or rather, Immortal Cultivators?"
"It is a forbidden area that we are not allowed to approach," Liao Fei said.
"I'm told that the place is an extremely well-guarded prison and laboratory where countless extremely dangerous bandits and monsters are locked up. Perhaps, they are the strongest experts who have distinguished themselves in the cruel battles in the Land of Sins.
"As for becoming an Immortal Cultivator, I have never heard of such an example."
"Therefore," Li Yao said, "even if somebody helps' A Boxing Champion 'Lei Zonglie conquer Liberty City and is truly delivered to' Manjusaka, the City in the Sky ', it is impossible for them to become an Immortal Cultivator?"
"Of course not!"
Liao Fei grinned hideously. "What dominator of the Elysian Worlds? They are just dogs that we have raised. If they are obedient, it is fine to give them a bone or two, but how can they be on par with us?"
"Then —"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is the highest controller of the 'paradise of sins' right now?"
"It will be Wuying Lan, the helmsman of the 'Heavenly Eye Group'," Liao Fei said.
"Wuying Lan?" Li Yao asked. "Is he a member of the royal family? Tell me all the intelligence you have about him. "
Liao Fei nodded and said, "Wuying Lan is indeed a member of the royal family, but he is a descendant of a secondary bloodline. When his lineage was passed on to him, the strength of his bloodline was already rather weak, and it was impossible for him to participate in the competition for the center of power. He was' exiled 'to the Devilish Scorpion Nebula to manage the weapon test field and the magical equipment laboratory when he was very young.
"It was supposed to be a job of little value because the weapon test field and the magical equipment laboratory had been used for hundreds of years, and almost all their value had been exploited. Also, the test field and the laboratory both had their own managers, and there was not much that he could meddle in. It was basically an idle job that was designed to settle the branches of the royal family. Whichever member of the royal family was' exiled 'to the Devilish Scorpion Nebula would basically disappear from everybody's sight!
"However, Wuying Lan was an ambitious and whimsical man. When I said that somebody had all kinds of ideas to exploit the value of the Land of Sins just now, I was talking about him.
"All in all, the Martial Meritocrats Planet was rejuvenated under Wuying Lan's ingenious operation. It developed rapidly in the past hundred years, and with the support of the big shots and the military groups, it became one of the most important test bases for new magical equipment and techniques in the Imperium again.
"In the meantime, Wuying Lan's' Heavenly Eye Group 'thrived on the slaughter stream, performing miracles like a snake swallowing an elephant. Right now, he controls half of the gambling industry and the media industry of the Imperium, turning him from an underprivileged prince into one of the most popular figures!"
Li Yao's eyes glittered. "Therefore, Wuying Lan can be called the creator and manipulator of the 'paradise of sins' and even the 'chief director' of our gory siege right now?"
Liao Fei nodded heavily. "Yes!"
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao said, "One last question. Have you ever heard of 'Starlight' and the so-called 'Cultivators who have fallen into disgrace for a thousand years'?"
Liao Fei smiled. "Of course I have. It was just a legend in the Devilish Scorpion Nebula at the beginning, but it has been spreading to the entire Imperium in the past hundred years. Perhaps somebody with ill intentions is doing clandestine things under the banner of legends. The so-called Cultivators are just a bunch of idiots who are asking to be killed. They went extinct more than a thousand years ago. What can they possibly do?"
"Got it."
Li Yao said. Bubbles were popping up in the blood ocean. "Thank you for your honest answers. I meant to ask you a few more questions, but time is limited. Let's call it a day."
The bloody bubbles exploded, releasing vague killing intent.
The smile on Liao Fei's face gradually froze. With surprise and fear in his eyes, he stammered, "Wait. You said that you wouldn't kill me. You have no reason to kill me at all! You shouldn't kill me whether you are an alien species or an expert of the sinners in the Land of Sins! Without my cooperation, you can't escape from the paradise of sins. You can't escape from Wuying Lan's dragnet! Calm down and think about it! "
"Maybe."
