Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

(Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch who visited Northeast to treat you with delicious fruit.)

"I'm actually very curious about something."

Zhou Baiyu took a few steps forward this time, no longer watching Bai Ye's back but walking straight ahead before turning around to face Bai Ye face-to-face.

Bai Ye still wore that harmless smile:

"Go ahead, I'm always very patient with those who want to cooperate, excellent seedlings in particular."

Zhou Baiyu tended to be even more cautious with people who displayed such superficial politeness:

"Why explain so much to me? In a place like this, it seems you don't need my consent, especially since you've found the pattern in the Brain Hole World of the Blue Hole. Shouldn't you be letting the Blue Hole absorb continually?"

"The more people who enter, the more you can alter their data. To you, the Blue Hole should be an invincible weapon."

"You wield such great power, yet here you are talking to me about the past. Do you really need to discuss the past with me?"

"Now, I, the Seamer, and the Reverser, who is very likely wreaking havoc at this moment—we're all just your pawns, aren't we?"

Of course, the most important thing is, what's the price, Guldan?

Both the Seamer and Bai Ling had great potential, Zhou Baiyu had to admit, the Seamer was nearly the ultimate creature.

Apart from Mark, who is imprisoned in his own dreamscape, there was hardly a more terrifying creature than the Seamer.

So if Bai Ye really was a gardener, then with the Blue Hole, he could entirely consider creating an army.

Zhou Baiyu felt that Bai Ye was still very mysterious.

Mysterious to the point that almost no one noticed his existence. Even his own daughter thought he was dead.

For such a person to claim to have a vast force, Zhou Baiyu wasn't very convinced.

So he guessed that not everything was as simple as it seemed.

Bai Ye said helplessly:

"I hope we can establish a noble friendship between us. Mr. Zhou Baiyu, a gardener's abilities actually come with many limitations."

What Bai Ye said was actually true.

His gardener ability wasn't something he could use at will; it required fulfilling certain specific but uncertain conditions.

What are uncertain specific conditions?

It was as if Bai Ye, being a gardener, couldn't decide by himself what kind of flowers to plant.

Instead, random conditions were given out by the traits within him.

Only those who met the conditions would receive cultivation from Bai Ye.

To Bai Ye, the greatest task was to find those who fulfilled the conditions.

He liked such an ability, full of uncertainty and yet offering the thrill of collecting.

The moment he saw those statues in Zhou Baiyu's Memory Palace—

Bai Ye was sure, Zhou Baiyu was the unmistakable choice for cultivation this time.

After acquiring the ability of the Game God, Zhou Baiyu's vision would display many game UI-like things.

Or when "personal status" flashed through Zhou Baiyu's mind, he would see a summary of the God of Difference and Chaos power system's effect on himself.

Bai Ye was the same.

Bai Ye would see "mission targets."

His first mission target was "non-human."

The target was very broad, it could be anything that wasn't human.

So Bai Ye chose ants.

But because the target was so broad, the power conferred wasn't much.

The ants were given armored exoskeletons, insatiable stomachs, and potent corrosive acid.

And after completing this task, Bai Ye had many targets to follow.

But these targets were all the same, so broad that Bai Ye felt, even after cultivating them, they were just oversized ants.

Worthless.

He gave up these targets, and it's worth mentioning that once a target is chosen, it must be completed.

But before selection, one can give up on the target.

Bai Ye's second cultivation subject brought him great joy; the joy that surfaced in his mind was as follows—

Find a target lacking in love, hating the world, innately murderous, devoid of empathy, and with personality disorders.

There were many labels for this target, and many things were vague, like how lacking in love had to be? How much hate for the world was necessary?

These values also affected the end result of Bai Ye's effort.

But Bai Ye was determined to complete this target, it was the most valuable for cultivation from all the missions he had encountered so far.

The more labels, the higher the growth potential.

For this, Bai Ye went to a lot of effort and in the end, he chose the Seamer.

To Bai Ye, the Seamer appeared to be the most perfect cultivable object.

At least for this mission—it was the dream seed, perfect for a gardener's aspirations.

Who had never felt love, tended towards destroying the world, murderous to the point where one could say killing was his only joy, lacking in empathy? No, completely devoid of empathy. Personality? If the Seamer had such a thing, it was probably twisted.

Bai Ye was very excited when he saw this target. He was really looking forward to what the Seamer, this seed, would look like once it flowered and bore fruit.

For a long time after the Seamer, Bai Ye found no other suitable target.

Either the labels were too few, or he deemed them impossible to implement in the apocalyptic world.

Until—he accidentally obtained a one-time permission to go back to the past, and suddenly discovered—

He could create a target himself.

Intelligent, with a happy and loving family, a father who loved her, a calm mind, someone who grew up in an environment of love...

A series of labels made Bai Ye believe that it was nearly impossible to find such a seed in an apocalyptic environment.

But the more labels, the greater the potential; he really didn't want to give up on the target.
