After Barton destroyed the robots pursuing him, he also fainted from exhaustion, his massive dragon body crashing into the factory, completely wrecking the Divine Spark Factory.
Seeing this, the World-Ending Spirit Fire looked at Ye Ling and Mu Bai in shock and asked, "What... did you do? Can you predict the future?"
"It's not predicting the future," Ye Ling smiled and shook his head. "This is a story I created."
"A story you created?" The World-Ending Spirit Fire was astonished and even more confused.
Mu Bai excitedly said, "Let me explain..."
"Ye Ling just wrote an article using those special characters, and the story described in that article is about Barton being cornered by the robots of the Primal Wisdom King, escaping into the Void Swamp, and finally, by chance, combining with the artificial intelligence I created, gaining the power called 'System,' and making a comeback."
"How... how is this possible?" The World-Ending Spirit Fire looked incredulous. "How can those special characters define the future?"
Mu Bai continued, "Although I haven't figured out the principle yet, Ye Ling's power seems to be able to set real-life characters as the protagonists of his story using those special characters, and then make those protagonists act according to the story he wrote..."
Hearing this, the World-Ending Spirit Fire immediately became excited and said, "Then aren't you invincible? Kid, if you just write the Overseers to death, we'll be the bosses of this Primal Chaos!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible," Ye Ling shook his head helplessly. "Although theoretically I can use my power to make them perish, in reality, just writing that small segment of Barton's story consumed nearly a tenth of my power. If I wanted to directly make the Overseers perish, I'd probably be drained before I could even finish writing."
Mu Bai guessed, "I've thought about it carefully. The reason for your huge consumption, besides being unfamiliar with it as it's your first time, is that you described too many details and Barton's psychological activities... If you only wrote a rough story outline with these special characters, the consumption might be much smaller."
"Yes, I thought so too," Ye Ling nodded slightly. "This ability still needs to be developed, but its potential has been demonstrated, making it my strongest trump card."
Even if Ye Ling could only control a rough future, in his battles with the Primal King and the Seven Pillars, as long as he could use this ability to create a desired mistake for the opponent, he could directly turn the tide of the battle!
"The gains today are truly immense..." Mu Bai's eyes shone, becoming more and more excited. "I feel like I've opened up a brand new world, and I can't wait to start the next research!"
Seeing Mu Bai's excited appearance, Ye Ling chuckled, "I'll create a separate space for you in my small world. All the energy, tools, and materials you need will be provided by me. You can focus on researching the special characters in my small world, how about that?"
"I couldn't ask for anything more!" Mu Bai agreed to Ye Ling without hesitation.
He had already witnessed Ye Ling's power of creation, and Ye Ling could satisfy anything he desired. Moreover, Ye Ling's cultivation had reached the level of a Primal King, which was enough to meet all the energy requirements for his experiments... And in Ye Ling's small world, as long as Ye Ling was alive, he could be considered to have absolute safety!
In Mu Bai's opinion, there was no research location more suitable in the Primal Chaos than Ye Ling's small world!
"Alright, I'll take you in now!"
Seeing Mu Bai agree, Ye Ling directly left the virtual world and took the real-world Mu Bai into his small world, simultaneously providing him with all the necessary supplies.
Ye Ling had seen Mu Bai's talent. It was because of Mu Bai that he, shortly after creating "the world," discovered a terrifying killing move of "the world."
As long as Mu Bai persisted in his research, he could uncover more properties of the special characters, and Ye Ling could immediately grasp the results of Mu Bai's research.
By taking in Mu Bai, Ye Ling had essentially acquired one of the smartest minds in the Primal Chaos.
After settling Mu Bai, Ye Ling returned to the virtual world and came to the side of the unconscious Barton.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire flew to Ye Ling's front, looked at Barton, whose body was covered in mechanical armor, and asked Ye Ling, "Kid, what should we do with this guy now? Should we continue to let him adventure in the virtual world?"
Ye Ling nodded slightly, "Yes... By obtaining the artificial intelligence created by Mu Bai, he has gained an almost invincible cheat in this virtual world. Now, those administrators can no longer threaten him. As long as he continues to stir up trouble in the outside world, the Primal Wisdom King and the third-party forces will have to make a move."
"So you deliberately let him get the artificial intelligence!" The World-Ending Spirit Fire suddenly realized.
"Otherwise?" Ye Ling chuckled lightly. "Even with the strength of a Carefree Immortal, he's no match for the supreme powerhouses in this universe, let alone the Primal Wisdom King."
"Barton is just an experiment of mine. I don't have that much time to wait for him to grow up."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire pouted, "It sounds like this guy is quite pitiful... his fate is completely manipulated by you."
"In the Primal Chaos, everyone is manipulated by fate, but Barton's fate has become my will..." Ye Ling suddenly said, his eyes becoming deep, as if he were contemplating something.
"Kid, what are you thinking about?" The World-Ending Spirit Fire noticed the change in Ye Ling's expression and asked curiously.
"Nothing..." Ye Ling came back to his senses and sent Barton out of the Void Swamp. "Mu Bai's matter has been handled. Next, we just need to wait for the Primal Wisdom King and the third party to make their move."
"Mm..."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire replied, giving Ye Ling a deep look.
At that moment, he had caught the subtle change in Ye Ling's eyes and realized that Ye Ling might have discovered something.
However, since Ye Ling didn't say anything, he didn't intend to ask.
For the current World-Ending Spirit Fire, he had deeply realized that good and evil, Ye Ling, the Overseers... they were the center of the storm in the Primal Chaos.
As long as he followed Ye Ling, he would witness a vaster and more unimaginable world!
"World-Ending Spirit Fire, soon... we will break out of the chessboard and become the players."
Ye Ling smiled, patted the World-Ending Spirit Fire's head, and said this softly, then turned to look at Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye, who were pulling on the old man watering flowers, asking for gardening tips. He called out, "A Ying! A Ye! It's time for us to go!"
"Oh! Coming!"
Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye immediately dropped the old man watering flowers and ran back to Ye Ling, each holding a bag of flower seeds.
Nuo Ying shook the bag of flower seeds in front of Ye Ling and asked, "The flowers in this virtual world are quite beautiful. Can you use your power of creation to help us create these virtual seeds? We want to plant flowers in your small world!"
"No problem."
Ye Ling smiled, took the bags from Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye, and used his power of creation to create real seeds in his small world.
Seeing that Ye Ling had created the seeds, Nuo Ye smiled and asked Ye Ling, "Where are we going next?"
"Next... it's time to deal with the Primal Wisdom King."
