Anime Crossover: The Small Workshop System's Aggressive Feeding

Yes, how can they fight? The opponent's abilities almost perfectly counter every combat system they know. Physical attacks are useless, energy attacks are crushed, and mental attacks are utterly humiliating.

"Perhaps...we've been thinking in the wrong direction?"

A gentle yet powerful voice rang out. Everyone looked over and saw it was Master Zhou Meng of Wudang. Although his eyes were closed, his tone was exceptionally clear.

"This person's actions seem arbitrary, but he doesn't indiscriminately kill innocent people. In Biyou Village, he cured Chen Duo, but only defeated Ma Xianhong. In Beijing, he only crippled Tu Junfang. Chen Duo was a victim, and Tu Junfang was a recognized heretic. Judging from the results, he seems... to still possess some kind of order?"

"Order?" Lu Jin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke slowly. His weathered face was full of thought.

"I agree with Daoist Zhou Meng's opinion. He cured Chen Duo, which is equivalent to solving the company's most pressing problem. He also crippled Tu Junfang, which can be considered as ridding the world of supernatural beings of a scourge. He claims to be a tourist, and his purpose seems to be only to collect the technology of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Perhaps, he really doesn't have any malicious intent to be an enemy of the entire world of supernatural beings?"

Lu Jin's words plunged the council room into another round of silence.

Yes, if the other party really wanted to destroy the world, given the abilities he displayed, there would probably have been rivers of blood already. But he didn't. He was like a spoiled child who barged into the adults' chess game, picking up the pieces to look at, throwing away those that weren't fun, and putting those that were interesting into his pocket, completely ignoring the rules of the game and the feelings of the players.

Asking for flowers

You're angry, but you can't beat him. You try to reason with him, but he probably won't even listen.

This sense of powerlessness is something that these ten elders, who stand at the pinnacle of the world of supernatural beings, have never experienced before.

"Malice? No malice?" Lu Ci sneered, about to retort.

Just then, an old man who had been resting with his eyes closed, seemingly detached from the situation, and whose projection even appeared somewhat unreal, opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, all eyes in the conference room involuntarily turned to him. It was as if he were the center of attention in that space.

Longhu Mountain, Celestial Master's Mansion, Zhang Zhiwei.

The old Celestial Master's expression remained calm and composed, revealing neither tension nor solemnity. He merely glanced around at the crowd and then spoke a sentence in a tone so calm it was almost casual.

"His next target is the Reverse Life Triple Technique of Longhu Mountain."

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the old master to continue. They wanted to know how this being, widely recognized as the "pinnacle" of the supernatural world, would deal with this "visitor from outer space." Would he, like Lü Ci, advocate a swift and decisive strike, or would he, like Lu Jin, attempt to make contact?

However, what the old master said next was beyond everyone's expectations.

A deep, unfathomable light flashed in his seemingly cloudy old eyes.

"If he wants to come, then let him come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old master's holographic projection shut down.

The remaining nine elders were left in the conference room, looking at each other in bewilderment and deeply shaken.

Should we bring him?

It's that simple?

Is the old master going to... meet that monster in person?

In an instant, an indescribable mix of anticipation and fear, even stronger than when facing "tourists," surged into everyone's hearts.

The world of supernatural beings may truly be about to change.

----split line----

The Reverse Rebirth Triple Appearance appeared three times in the original work.

The first time was at Longhu Mountain, where Yuan Tao explained it to Zhang Lingyu, so this book assumes that the Old Celestial Master also knows it.

Lu Jin's second appearance was in her second state, where she possessed the functions of the second state.

His third appearance was his second appearance in the Reverse Life Triple event: at the Lu family's birthday banquet, Zhang Zhikouwei.

Chapter 383 The Invitation from the Celestial Master's Mansion

The meeting of the Ten Elders ended in a strange silence and on bad terms.

Neither Lü Ci's "extermination faction" nor Lu Jin's "appeasement faction" could convince the other. Faced with Zhou Ye, a completely extraordinary figure, any decision based on past experience seemed so pale and powerless.

But the last words of the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei set a tone for the whole incident—at least in Longhu Mountain, in the most sacred Taoist ancestral home in the world of supernatural beings, they chose not confrontation, but contact.

This decision was swiftly disseminated throughout the world of supernatural beings via various clandestine channels. All plans to track, monitor, or even attack Zhou Ye were immediately halted. The entire world of supernatural beings seemed to hold its breath, quietly awaiting the meeting that was about to take place on Dragon Tiger Mountain, a meeting destined to be recorded in history.

And Zhou Ye, the instigator of all this, is currently sitting in a 24-hour fast food restaurant, drinking cola and studying his new "trophies" with great interest.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the core of the Herrscher of Reason was rapidly operating. The "Three Corpses" abilities that had been "erased" did not completely disappear; instead, they were transformed into pure information data and stored in the database.

[Name: Three Corpses (Conceptual Data)]

[Core Principle: By splitting a part of its own soul and combining it with the host's negative emotions (greed, anger, ignorance), an energy life form with the ability to pollute the mind and erode the body physically is created.]

[Technical flaw: Causes irreversible damage to the host's soul; energy lifeforms are overly reliant on negative emotions, and will experience logical breakdowns when facing souls that are absolutely pure or overwhelmingly superior in quality.]

[Optimization directions: Eliminate the soul splitting step and replace it with pure energy simulation; enhance its concealment and parasitic abilities; research its interference laws on the mental level, which can be applied to the construction of illusion or mental defense systems...]

Zhou Ye watched with great interest. This was far more interesting to him than obtaining some world-destroying power. Analyzing the unique laws of a world and then integrating them into his own knowledge system felt like a hardcore gamer unlocking all the achievements in a completely new game.

Just as he was concentrating on "studying," a figure appeared silently beside his dining table.

Zhou Ye looked up, somewhat surprised.

The newcomer was a young Taoist priest who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore a faded blue Taoist robe, his hair was neatly combed into a bun, and he had a handsome face and clear eyes, exuding a pure aura untouched by worldly affairs.

He did not conceal his Qi; that peaceful and upright Qi unmistakably belonged to the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

To Zhou Ye's surprise, he hadn't noticed the young Taoist's appearance at all. It wasn't that the other party had particularly skillful concealment, but rather that the other party's arrival was as natural as the wind blowing or water flowing, without causing any ripples in the space around him that was solidified by the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

"Interesting. Is this the prototype of the unity of man and nature?" Zhou Ye thought to himself with admiration.

The young Taoist priest bowed respectfully to Zhou Ye, his movements precise and neither servile nor arrogant.

"Amitabha Buddha. Greetings, sir."

His voice, like his personality, was clear and pure.

Zhou Ye put down his cola and smiled: "Little Taoist priest, is there something you need?"

Without further ado, the young Taoist priest took out an ancient-looking letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. The envelope had no salutation or any ornate decorations; only four powerful characters written in vermilion ink:

See you at Longhu Mountain.

The signature, though simpler, seemed to contain boundless philosophical meaning:

"dimension."

"My master, Zhang Zhiwei, would like to invite you to come up the mountain for a chat," the young Taoist said calmly, his eyes showing no sign of evasion or fear, simply conveying his master's wishes.

Zhou Ye accepted the invitation, his fingertips able to feel the warm, jade-like aura emanating from the letter. He opened it and glanced inside; it was empty, only possessing an atmosphere that brought peace to the mind.

He smiled.

These old folks, who have lived for over a hundred years, are indeed intelligent. Realizing that violence cannot solve the problem, they immediately abandoned foolish confrontation and opted for the most efficient form of communication.

This invitation was both an invitation and a gesture. It indicated that Longhu Mountain, and even the entire elite community behind it, acknowledged his "equal" status.

"Please thank your master for me." Zhou Ye put away the invitation, leaned back in his chair, and said leisurely, "Tell him that I am very interested in the Triple Rebirth Technique, and I hope he will not disappoint me."

His words were plain, but they were full of undisguised demands.

The young Taoist priest's eyes flickered slightly, but his face remained calm. He bowed again and said, "I will convey your words to you faithfully, sir."

After saying that, he prepared to take his leave.

"No need for that." Zhou Ye's lips curled into a playful smile as he casually waved his hand.

The young Taoist priest felt a blur before his eyes, and the noise, lights, and aromas of food from the surrounding fast food restaurants vanished instantly... In a second, a refreshing mountain breeze caressed his face, and the familiar sound of pine trees filled his ears.

He... has returned to the gate of Longhu Mountain.

The young Taoist priest stood frozen in place, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat. He looked down at his hands, then looked up at the majestic mountain gate archway. Everything that had just happened in the fast food restaurant seemed like a bizarre and fantastical dream.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and strode towards the Celestial Master's Mansion on the back mountain.

……

In the backyard of the Celestial Master's Mansion, under a huge ginkgo tree.

The old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei was sitting on a stone bench with his eyes closed, as if he had become one with the ancient tree behind him.

The young Taoist priest respectfully walked up to him and recounted his experience and Zhou Ye's exact words verbatim.

After hearing the report, a faint smile finally appeared on the old Celestial Master's wrinkled face. He didn't comment on Zhou Ye's almost "rude" request, but simply opened his eyes and instructed another disciple standing not far away:

"Go, bring out my old tea set, and also find the Da Hong Pao tea I hid under the bed."

The disciple was somewhat puzzled, but respectfully agreed.

The old celestial master then looked down the mountain again, his gaze becoming distant and profound.

"A strange man... who can purify Gu poison, ignore divine secrets, erase the Three Corpses, see through heavenly secrets, and know the secrets of my Longhu Mountain..."

He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of inexplicable emotion, or even a hint of... expectation.

"Perhaps he really can unravel all the secrets of the Jia Shen Rebellion."

“A…4.1…extraterrestrial visitor.”

……

Meanwhile, Zhou Ye, who was down the mountain, also stopped smiling. He stood up, placed a few banknotes under his cup, and walked out of the fast food restaurant.

He looked up towards Longhu Mountain, as if he could see the old man sitting under the ginkgo tree, waiting for him.

The core of the Law of Reason allows him to easily see through the essence of technology.

The Herrscher of the Void's power allows him to ignore spatial distance.

The power of the merit jade pendant allowed him to erase the existence of concepts.

These powers made him virtually invincible in this world. But it was precisely because of this that he felt a sense of... boredom.

Now, the world's most powerful entity has extended an invitation to him.

Zhou Ye's lips curled up again.

"Old Celestial Master, Zhang Zhiwei..."

"Perfect timing, I also want to see just how much this so-called pinnacle of skill really amounts to."
