"Reincarnators …"
So-called reincarnators were special professions that were chosen by an entity called the Lord System to travel between various realms and universes, completing missions assigned by the Lord, and exchanging various resources.
As a traveler, Lin Huang naturally knew the concept of reincarnators.
He had read online literature for a period of time in university. That was the golden age of online literature, and he had read almost every genre. He had read at least a hundred limitless works, so naturally, he was no stranger to the settings of reincarnators.
"Is it the same as the settings?" Lin Huang could not help asking as he looked at the Club's identity page projected by Virtuoso.
"More or less," Virtuoso answered vaguely, seemingly unwilling to dwell on this topic.
"Alright then …" Lin Huang was not satisfied with this answer. "Why didn't you just say you're a member of the Club? Why did you stir things up on purpose?"
"I was just testing your abilities. If your abilities aren't good enough, there's no need for me to reveal my identity. " Virtuoso said this boldly and confidently. They paused for a moment, then said to Lin Huang, "I've already revealed my identity. Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
"I'm sorry, this is my first time meeting a reincarnator." Lin Huang only then introduced himself with a smile, "The Club, traveler, Lin Huang."
He copied Virtuoso and projected his identity page for the Club.
"It really is you." Virtuoso did not seem surprised.
"You know me?" Lin Huang was a little doubtful.
"I've heard of you." Virtuoso nodded slightly. "There aren't many members in the Club to begin with, and the frequency at which we recruit new members is very low. You're the only newcomer in the last thirty thousand years, so naturally, you'll attract everyone's attention. "
"The only one in the last thirty thousand years?" Lin Huang stared at Virtuoso with wide eyes. This was the first time he had heard about this, but he was also a little curious. "What about you?"
The reason he asked this question was that according to the information he had obtained from Death's Scythe, Virtuoso was not very old, only a little over a hundred years old.
"Haha … this identity of Virtuoso is just a reincarnated clone of mine in this great world," Virtuoso replied with a smile, "My original body joined the Club over two hundred thousand years ago."
"I was thinking that since we're in the same great world, I might as well get to know you. In fact, I already suspected that it was you when you joined Death Sickle as Xie Lin. But before I could confirm this, you disappeared. "
"Fortunately, you reappeared and joined Death's Scythe as Xiu Mu. It can only mean that our fate has not ended yet … "
The last sentence made Lin Huang feel a chill run down his spine.
"You joined the club more than 200,000 years ago, so you're my senior." Lin Huang cupped his hands and said politely, "I was rude before."
He found it hard to imagine how powerful a person with a Sovereign System who had lived for more than two hundred thousand years would be. Although the other party did not say anything, Lin Huang guessed that the other party's original body was very likely to be an Overgod, or even stronger.
"Don't call me senior. I'm me, and my original body is my original body. Our consciousnesses are independent of each other. Moreover, this clone of mine's combat level isn't much higher than yours. " However, Virtuoso smiled and shook their head. "If you want to call me senior, you can do so when you see my original body in the future. There's no need for that for me."
"What I'm telling you is actually a secret. Zang Tian and Death's Scythe's upper echelons don't know that I'm a reincarnator. All they know is that I'm the reincarnation of an Almighty. "
At this point, Virtuoso suddenly paused. "We've gotten sidetracked in our conversation. Let's get back to the main topic.
"Apart from wanting to get to know you, I actually had another reason for testing your ability this time."
Lin Huang raised his brow slightly. In reality, he had some doubts all along. If the other party had only wanted to get to know him, there was really no need for him to fight to that extent.
"I'd like to invite you to team up with me and go to the Abyss," Virtuoso said, then added, "The real Abyss."
Lin Huang could not help being stunned when he heard this.
It was not that he had never come into contact with Abyssal creatures before. He had even entered a few secret zones and ruins related to the Abyss. However, he had never been to the real Abyss.
He also knew how terrifying a place the real Abyss was. Not only were there countless lord-level monsters in the depths of the Abyss, but there were also beings even more powerful than Lords in deep slumber.
He did not think that he currently had enough ability to venture into the Abyss.
"Can I reject this invitation?" Lin Huang directly rejected Virtuoso's invitation to team up with him without hesitation.
"Can't you let me finish first?" Virtuoso's expression under their mask must have been filled with helplessness.
"Go on, then." The expression on Lin Huang's face clearly said, 'Say what you want, I'll definitely reject you in the end anyway.'
"I need something from the Abyss to elevate to Heavenly God. That thing is in the body of a high-level Abyssal Heavenly God, and I have to retrieve it myself. I've been preparing for the past few years to form a team to help me complete this task. "
"Can't you just ask a Heavenly God for help?" Lin Huang asked, raising his brow.
The way he saw it, if he wanted to solve a problem like this, all he had to do was bring a group of high-level Heavenly Gods to help. Or he could simply ask Zang Tian to do it; there was almost no Abyssal Heavenly God that he could not handle.
"Due to certain restrictions, the helpers I can ask for are only True Gods at most," Virtuoso explained, shaking their head rather helplessly.
"Is this considered a class-advancement mission that the Lords issued to you?" Lin Huang could not help asking with a smile.
Virtuoso was stunned to hear that, then nodded. "You can think of it that way."
"You said you wanted to form a team. Apart from me, who else did you invite?" Lin Huang asked again.
"One of them is a clone of my friend. He's a ninth-rank sword cultivator, and he's also a Club member. The other two are disciples trained by my Primordium. One is a combat cultivator, and the other is a Conjurer. They're both ninth-rank as well. Including you and me, there's a total of five people, "Virtuoso explained.
"I'll just tell you my concern. If we're targeted by a Lord or an existence above a Lord, do you have a way to get us out of here? " If it had been someone else, Lin Huang would not have asked such a question at all, because it was impossible for any True God to have the ability to escape from a Lord. However, Virtuoso's Primordium was extremely powerful after all, and he was also a veteran Reincarnator. He might really have such a method to escape from a Lord.
Virtuoso fell silent for a moment upon hearing this question, but finally nodded. "Initially, I didn't really want to reveal such a trump card, but since you've asked, I think it's better to be honest. I do have a space-time shuttle with me, personally refined by my Primordium. It can escape from a Lord's Divine Kingdom.
"You might not know much about the Abyss either. Although the boundaries aren't very clear, the distribution of monsters in the Abyss is different at different depths. Lords and Heavenly Gods aren't at the same depth.
"Moreover, in the Abyss, as soon as various types of energy leave the body, they'll be severely weakened. Unless it's a lord-level powerhouse or an even more powerful existence, the energy shockwaves won't be able to travel far at all. Even if it's a clash between top Heavenly Gods, the distance from which the shockwaves can be sensed is usually less than a hundred kilometers. Beyond this distance, no one will know that a battle has taken place at all. "
"What benefits can I get if I join?" Lin Huang asked after thinking for a moment.
Although he had been prepared to refuse at first, Virtuoso's explanation dispelled many of his concerns. Moreover, he was also thinking that after leaving the secret territory, he would need to hunt more heavenly god-level monsters to increase his combat strength. Moreover, there were not that many Heavenly Gods for him to hunt in ordinary secret territory ruins.
According to Virtuoso's description of the Abyss, it did sound like a decent EXP Instance Dungeon.
"You cultivate Sword Dao and Telekinesis, so I can give you a Soul seal fragment as a down payment. Consider it an apology for attacking you earlier. Once we're done and come out of the Abyss, I'll give you another Sword seal fragment, "Virtuoso stated their terms.
"Soul seal? Sword seal? "Lin Huang was dumbfounded. He had no idea what these two things Virtuoso was talking about.
When Virtuoso saw Lin Huang's expression, they immediately understood that he did not know what Soul seal and Sword seal meant. They hurriedly explained, "You must have heard that Heavenly Gods need to consolidate a Dao seal to elevate to a Lord, right? The so-called Soul Seal was a Soul Dao Seal formed by a soul cultivator Overgod. The so-called Sword Seal is the Sword Dao Sword Seal formed by sword cultivator Lords. "
"A Dao seal fragment is a remnant left behind by a Lord's Dao seal after the Lord's death. Although the Dao contained within it is incomplete, it can still be comprehended, and there's even a large amount of Dao power left in it.
"Each Dao seal fragment is a priceless treasure to Heavenly Gods and half-step lord-level powerhouses. Heavenly Gods can improve their control over god sequence chains through comprehending Dao seal fragments, and they might even obtain a complete inheritance. Half-step lord-level powerhouses can absorb the Dao power within and progress toward becoming a Lord. "
When he heard this, Lin Huang could not help but feel tempted.
His Sword Dao was only at the beginner level of Sword Dao heavenly rule, so it would probably be very difficult for him to advance any further in the near future. If he could obtain a Sword seal fragment, he might be able to greatly accelerate his sword cultivation progress.
"Can I exchange it for two Sword seal fragments?" Lin Huang could not help asking.
"Do you think you can pick and choose between cabbages you can buy on the street? I only have one Sword seal fragment. If I had two, I'd definitely give them to you. I'm not a sword cultivator, so there's no point in keeping them. Although a Soul seal fragment won't bring you as much benefits as a Sword seal, it can still indirectly increase the strength of your Divine Telekinesis. Moreover, if you're lucky, it's not impossible to obtain a telekinesis inheritance. "Virtuoso felt rather helpless.
"Alright, a Soul seal it is." Lin Huang's tone sounded obviously disappointed. "But can you pay me the Sword seal fragment as a deposit first? You can give me the Soul seal fragment when you come out of the Abyss. "
"Sure," Virtuoso agreed readily and took out the Sword seal fragment right away.
Lin Huang looked curiously at the item in Virtuoso's hand. However, the moment he saw it, his eyes widened and his face filled with shock. "You're saying that this is a Sword seal fragment?!"
