Chapter 510: 232: Another Super-Dimensional Beneficiary
Lin had only started asking at this moment:
"Tell me, where have you seen her?"
"On the Strange Train. If this mask isn't just a coincidence, then she must be a very important manager on the Strange Train."
Zhou Baiyu didn't hide anything and spoke directly. On the Strange Train, Attendant Number One gave him the same impression as the Train Conductor—both were extremely mysterious and held vast authority.
Lin was slightly startled.
The nine intermediaries knew a little about the Strange Train. The primary intelligence came from the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's intermediary, Mo Sangyu.
The snooping by Mo Sangyu was low-cost, and the content observed was comprehensive.
Thus, aside from those like Zhou Baiyu who could afford to block the snooping, there was virtually nothing Mo Sangyu couldn't snoop on.
The one who understood the Advanced World the best was also Mo Sangyu.
When the Strange Train appeared, Mo Sangyu had also debated why this train appeared.
When he talked about the existence of a train that could go anywhere, the other intermediaries even held a skeptical attitude.
Lin found it hard to believe that there could be a train that could ignore barriers and travel freely.
In the eyes of all intermediaries, barriers were the greatest protection for the pioneers.
Not just for the pioneers, but also for this land of Longxia, the demonic tribes, the corrupted kind, and the human survivors.
If there existed something that could travel freely, ignoring the rules of barriers, it would be akin to opening a gateway between the Pantheon and Longxia.
This was lethal, a crisis sufficient to lead to a catastrophe.
Now that Lin knew Mel was on that eerie train, she was utterly shocked.
"Could it be that Mel was saved by that train?" Lin asked.
"No," Zhou Baiyu shook his head.
Zhou Baiyu had thought so initially, as all the attendants were adopted by the Train Conductor.
But after learning that Attendant Number One was Mel, Zhou Baiyu had a bold guess.
"Why not?" Lin asked.
Zhou Baiyu said gravely,
"I also thought that the Train Conductor had the highest authority on the train, given his appearance and age."
"But now, after finding out that Number One is Mel, I realize that's not the case. Lin, you've given me a crucial piece of information."
"Your intermediaries come from the previous era, while the Train Conductor represents the start of the deciders of this era."
"So if Attendant Number One is Mel, then Mel is actually much older than the Train Conductor."
"The Train Conductor was chosen by the train, and he is loyal to the train."
"But what about Mel?"
Some people, despite having the highest power, often intentionally disguise themselves as the second in command to avoid drawing attention.
Using the first in command as their puppet.
Now, thinking about why the Train Conductor wouldn't compromise with the Pantheon,
Perhaps it's because someone with higher authority on the train has irreconcilable differences with the Pantheon?
Thinking this, Zhou Baiyu had some doubts about what the Train Conductor had said at that time.
"Thank you for telling me all this. I don't know if Mel is truly alive, but any hope is good for me. In my case, there is no such thing as false hope. Because in this prolonged captivity, I've seen nothing worth hoping for."
"Little brother, thank you,"
About Mel's past, Lin didn't say much, or it could be said she hardly mentioned it.
However, Zhou Baiyu had already learned about the origins of the intermediaries.
"For your next summoning, would you consider using that chance for a self-selected version? You have already touched on some historical truths even I have not reached, maybe you can try to learn more," Lin said seriously.
The self-selected version. That authority was used up in the defense mode, but it had been replenished.
Zhou Baiyu shook his head, not planning to use it now:
"It's not the time yet, everything is just the tip of the iceberg, maybe when I reach the fourth stage, I'll consider using this privilege."
Lin didn't insist, and after adjusting her mindset, she quickly prepared the drink for returning to the real world:
"Every one of your summonings shows visible growth, little brother, I hope... you can bring back more good news."
"I will also do my utmost to help you,"
Just because Lin adjusted the drink to return to the real world, it didn't mean she didn't want to talk more.
But she truly needed to calm her emotions now, and there would be many more opportunities to communicate with Zhou Baiyu.
Zhou Baiyu nodded his head, indeed it was also time for him to go back and deal with some troublesome matters.
About the follow-up work after three women met.
...
...
Advanced World, version 2.49, Linxiang City.
The number 2.49 has been around for a long time, and no one knows when 2.50 will arrive.
And what exactly an event that could trigger version 2.5 would look like.
But for now, something big definitely happened in the Advanced World's Linxiang City.
Trans-dimensional mutation suddenly dragged the Blood Emperor into the summoning.
The Demon Prince Seamer, single-handedly fighting two Demon Emperors in what seemed an almost certain death scenario, finally broke through.
While the other Demon Emperors were still confused, unaware of the seriousness of this event...
Seamer had already started his counterattack.
After stitching up a demon prince of the Flame Demon Clan capable of unleashing Black Flame, Seamer finally possessed the ability to control Black Flame and also gained resistance to it.
But that alone was far from enough.
To defeat the emperor of the Flame Demon Clan, Seamer needed to devour more Black Flames.
And also meticulously lay out the following strategies.
Under the situation where the observant Blood Emperor was present... this was almost impossible to achieve.
