Chapter 1484: Chapter 1482: Grey’s Attitude

“Nicholas, do you know?

Due to the complete severance of our relationship with the Black Tower.

The Black Tower has been relentlessly restricting the transfer of talent from the lower-tier worlds to us. It’s been ages since an outstanding individual from the lower-tier worlds has been sent over.

What surprises me the most is…

You actually came here in such a Cell Clump state. This matter has left me pondering for quite a while.”

Han Dong was somewhat astonished. “Isn’t the marking and selection of talent from the lower-tier worlds handled by senior Upper Beings like yourself, who hold authority over worlds?”

“Not entirely… After all, the world network was created and is managed by the Black Tower, and the lower-tier worlds were constructed by them.

Therefore, there’s only one possibility.

It must have been someone within the Black Tower responsible for this project who intentionally sent you over… but to keep it hidden, they employed the form of a Cell Clump.

Nicholas, what is your current relationship with the Black Tower? Have any higher-ups contacted you?”

This abrupt question made Han Dong momentarily freeze.

The answer could potentially touch upon the most fundamental conflict.

However, ever since Han Dong established a relationship with Mr. M, he had already anticipated such scenarios… His connection to the Black Tower was bound to be uncovered by the Demons someday.

“Yes… A high-ranking individual within the Black Tower currently has quite deep interactions with me.

However, based on my assessment, this person’s stance leans more toward the neutral faction, holding an unbiased attitude toward our world.

Moreover, they’ve assisted me multiple times, including during the recent [Opening the gate], and even secretly revealed details about the ‘joint invasion’ during the London Game.”

Han Dong responded truthfully, though he deliberately left out the part about being selected as a ‘candidate.’ He wanted to observe the Gray Walker’s reaction first.

“I figured it would be something like this…

Good! Since the other party is willing to help you, even nurture you, just maintain this relationship.

After all, the growth system you’ve chosen is inherently ‘Fate,’ and the assistance they can provide might even surpass mine.”

“Indeed… During my next trip to the Black Tower, I’ll test their ‘limits.'”

“Oh? Tell me more.”

“A while ago, I went to the heart of the Black Forest with Sally and met the Mother God once.

The state of the Mother God cannot be restored merely by relying on the current technology and resources of our world. By coincidence, the high-ranking individual I’m interacting with possesses a unique material, which I’ve validated to be effective in restoring the Mother God.

Next time, I’ll attempt to procure more of this material.

This matter concerns the full restoration of an Upper Being in our world, and it will undoubtedly reveal the true stance of this individual.”

“Interesting… If the Goat Mother from the Black Forest truly recovers fully, she would indeed pose a significant threat to the Black Tower.

That woman… even I lack sufficient confidence to deal with her.

In that case, follow your judgment. As long as it benefits you, I won’t intervene.”

“Alright, I really appreciate your help with the head upgrade this time, senior!”

“Hmm~ I look forward to your future growth. Currently, the Prison World prototype has been established. When conducting various Fate travels, you can attempt to extract the essence of the worlds you visit.

Since you’re already a Node Holder for a certain world, you should understand what I mean.

Of course, you must extract it within the boundaries defined by the Black Tower’s laws to prevent exposure of the matter concerning your head.”

“Understood…”

Han Dong was naturally well aware of the Gray Walker’s implication, essentially suggesting that Han Dong draw out the essence of other worlds. Once a world is siphoned dry, it would collapse entirely like the Pandora World.

“Additionally, aim to acquire more world nodes whenever possible. When the time is ripe in the future, you can integrate them all into your brain.

However, once you do this, it would mean infringing on the Black Tower’s sovereignty and might even serve as the ‘spark’ for conflict.

I personally look forward to that day.”

“Understood…”

Integrating worlds—Han Dong had never entertained the idea before.

With the Walker’s mention, upon deeper reflection, it seemed quite exhilarating.

Moreover, there might not necessarily be a case of ‘sovereignty infringement’… As long as Han Dong could ascend to Mr. M’s position and secure absolute control of the worlds beforehand, the issue of sovereignty infringement could be resolved.

At this moment, the Gray Walker extended a hand toward the laboratory marked with the “Void Mark.” “As for the Void Laboratory derived from you, I am incapable of altering anything in it… If given the chance, you can visit the Void.

Even if your relationship with the Pope isn’t ideal, you can still interact with the Void through formal channels.”

“Understood.”

“One last matter, I heard you intend to team up with Green, Sally, Hop, and Kite, leading them as a Guide to the Fate Space?”

“Indeed… With Green and Kite in the team, I’m quite concerned about potential uncontrollable Danger during the journey. However, Green insists, and I have no choice.”

The Gray Walker, contrary to expectations, not only didn’t object but even expressed support: “That’s great, take them along.

However, I will be the one to decide the specific timing…

On the day the semester ends, I’ll arrange for Green and the others to meet you at Mi University, where you’ll use the decoded ‘Door of Fate’ to enter.”

“Alright.”

With over a month left until the semester’s end, there was plenty of time to prepare.

“Since Sally has already broken through to the Myth level, the progress of other Elements is roughly similar. As a result, the corresponding Fate difficulty will definitely be high.

During this period, train thoroughly under the Vice Principal’s guidance, and don’t die.”

“Understood.”

After a lengthy conversation.

The Walker casually tore open a gray ancient-text-covered door, leading to his exclusive domain, and left the Prison World.

Left alone, Han Dong slowly walked through the laboratory and reached out to touch the sterile workstation housing his main Cell Clump.

At some unknown moment, a ring of Fresh Blood had appeared around his lips, sketching out the outline of a Mad Laugh.

The changes brought about by the head upgrade were far too significant; Han Dong had never imagined his brain could fuse with the Land Deed, forming a world prototype.

The excessive excitement caused the Mad Laugh emotion to pour out from within.

The Laughter echoed continuously in the laboratory for nearly twenty minutes, until a visible tear was ripped open in his throat.

…

Subsequently, Han Dong spent a full two days gaining a comprehensive understanding of the Prison World.

The Prison World had already been operating smoothly,

its surface supervised by Togu and Chen Li, while underground was under the absolute surveillance of the Swollen Doctor. Unless major issues arose, Han Dong had no need to intervene personally.

After ensuring everything was in order, Han Dong returned to reality with Sally.

The two headed directly to the teacher apartment, where the mailbox at the door had no personal letters, and no one had contacted Han Dong during this time.

Evidently, the Walker had long since dealt with all troublesome matters and had even helped Han Dong take leave under special reasons.

Returning to the teacher’s life for over a month.

The appointed time to head to the [Fate Space] had finally arrived…
