November 3rd, Tuesday, the day after Halloween, also the second day since Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World. At 10:45 a.m., Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Unit 505, Bedroom.

After resolving the Death Wave issue, Zhang Yanhang began to think about what he should do next.

"Should I continue to catch ghosts? No, better to find Zhou Muxi first."

When Zhang Yanhang looked for Zhou Muxi last night, she wasn't there. But he thought she might be there this weekday morning. Of course, if she's still not there, then there's nothing he could do; it would just mean she really hasn't returned from the Ashen World.

However, Zhang Yanhang had a better verification method. He immediately scanned the relevant department's office building and found that Zhou Muxi was indeed in her office.

Since that was the case, Zhang Yanhang naturally planned to chat with Zhou Muxi about the Eternal Demon Body incidentally.

So, Zhang Yanhang immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Zhou Muxi.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "What's your opinion on body linking?"

Chaotic Eye: "ghs?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "No, not that kind of thing, just want you to become my Linker..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "To be precise, one of the Linkers."

Chaotic Eye: "Isn't that still ghs? And a group exercise, like starting a Silver Party?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I have a professional skill called [Eternal Demon Body] that can be shared with others. Though others can't enjoy the full effect, even just a sub-skill is quite good, enjoying most of the effect. The owner of this sub-skill is called a Linker."

Chaotic Eye: "Details."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "This skill is about Life Value recovery, which can restore Life Value automatically every second, but the Linker can't enjoy it. The Linker can only enjoy extra damage bonuses and Life Steal effects. Additionally, excess Life Value from Life Steal can be stored for later use; it's quite good."

Chaotic Eye: "Sounds pretty good indeed."

Chaotic Eye: "But why would you give such a good skill to me?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Linkers can effectively help me increase skill strength, but there's a limit of five slots. You're the second."

Chaotic Eye: "Let me guess, the first Linker wouldn't be Gu Mingyue, would it?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "How do you know?"

Chaotic Eye: "Woman's intuition."

Chaotic Eye: "Besides, with your narrow social circle, it might be quite difficult to gather five Linkers now, right?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "It's actually not that difficult."

Chaotic Eye: "So you really can't even gather five?"

Chaotic Eye: "How can someone have fewer than five friends?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "How did you know I got promoted to Fifth Tier?"

Chaotic Eye: "?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "How can there be someone who can't even advance to Fifth Tier?"

Chaotic Eye: "Does your promotion to Fifth Tier have anything to do with not having friends?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Precisely because I'm focused on improving my own strength, so I don't have time to make friends. Can you say that's unrelated?"

Chaotic Eye: "How can someone have fewer than five friends?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."

Chaotic Eye: "Seeing as you have no friends, I'll reluctantly become one of the Linkers."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Since it's so bothersome for you, let's forget it. Coincidentally, Gu Mingyue has a cousin who can take your spot."

Chaotic Eye: "!!!"

Chaotic Eye: "No, it's not difficult at all, come on, I'm eager to become a member of the Silver Party, come link me."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I said it's not a Silver Party..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "No rush for the linking."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I'm here mainly to ask about the Permanent Transmission Channel. Is there any suitable Permanent Transmission Channel for me to cleanse recently, like a Sixth Tier Transmission Channel?"

Chaotic Eye: "Currently, there's no record of any Sixth Tier Transmission Channels Within the Empire, and globally there's no certainty that such a thing exists."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Uh, what?"

Chaotic Eye: "But I inquired about the Fifth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel you asked about before. In Wuyang City, a Permanent Transmission Channel is supposedly opening the day after tomorrow."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Fifth Tier? Fine, Fifth Tier is acceptable too."

Thinking of the gains from the Fourth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel in Niger before, Zhang Yanhang felt that the Fifth Tier should also meet his needs; it didn't necessarily require a Sixth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel.

Besides, such things can't be demanded, especially since there isn't even a record of Sixth Tier Permanent Transmission Channels Within the Empire.

Moreover, with Zhang Yanhang's rich experience with Transmission Channels, he thought that a Sixth Tier Transmission Channel might even cover an entire province. Just thinking about it felt terrifying. If it couldn't be stopped in time, it might be the prelude to the Empire's demise starting from that day.

Even though the day after tomorrow, on March 5th, Zhang Yanhang planned to go to the Ashen World to find new areas to enhance the Talent Level of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline, the timing was just a bit tight, but it wasn't a big problem.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "And what time specifically?"

Chaotic Eye: "Noon at twelve? Shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Then it's fine."

The Transmission Channel to Raccoon City opens at 5 p.m. on March 5th. Zhang Yanhang believed with his strength, clearing the Fifth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel within five hours wouldn't be a problem.

Chaotic Eye: "Since you're going to cleanse it, I've reported it, so don't be late then. I, as a Fourth Tier Awakener, can't handle that kind of thing."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Are you going too?"

Chaotic Eye: "Wasn't it like that last time?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "True."

Chaotic Eye: "By the way, do you have any clues about Ceres suddenly getting destroyed?"

After learning about Zhang Yanhang's promotion to Fifth Tier, Zhou Muxi suddenly thought of this strange question for some reason, even though there shouldn't be any connection between the two?

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Ceres destroyed? When did this happen?"

Chaotic Eye: "It seems to have happened yesterday. I saw it in the group chat of the Imperial Observatory today."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "How did you end up in the Imperial Observatory's group chat?"

Chaotic Eye: "Last time they asked me to liaise to stop your landing, so I joined the group by the way."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "So it was them meddling last time?"

Chaotic Eye: "Do you really not know that Ceres was destroyed?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I honestly don't know. What exactly happened?"

Zhang Yanhang had no idea how Ceres was destroyed. After all, he destroyed Vesta, which looks completely different and has a different structure. No matter how you look at it, there's no way he could have hit the wrong one, so he truly didn't understand why Ceres was gone too.

Chaotic Eye: "I heard that a giant iron meteor suddenly drifted over from afar, and then Ceres was blasted into fragments on the spot."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I said it, I destroyed Vesta, how could it have anything to do with Ceres? It scared me to death."

Chaotic Eye: "Wait? You destroyed Vesta?"

Chaotic Eye: "And the iron meteor that destroyed Ceres was exactly formed after Ceres inexplicably disintegrated!"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "According to what you said, it might not be an iron meteor but a fragment of an iron-nickel star core. I think last time there was an operational error, and a larger fragment flew out."

Chaotic Eye: "..."

Chaotic Eye: "So, you're saying that while destroying the asteroid Vesta, you incidentally also demolished the dwarf planet Ceres?"

Chaotic Eye: "And you're calling this Fifth Tier?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I really didn't expect just a casual punch would incidentally shatter Ceres too. It's really not my fault. Although both Vesta and Ceres are in the same asteroid belt, they're still quite far apart, at least tens of millions of kilometers apart. Who'd have thought an accidental hit could take out a dwarf planet from such a distance?"

Chaotic Eye: "A punch to blow up an asteroid...even Sixth Tier couldn't reach that level..."

Zhou Muxi felt shocked, wondering if they should report this situation. Considering Zhang Yanhang's destructive power could be unleashed within the Empire, it's not looking too optimistic.

However, Zhou Muxi also felt that Zhang Yanhang should have some self-control not to prematurely destroy the Empire. After all, his previous effort to clean out monsters in Greenland indicated that.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "So, you're slacking off at work and chatting in the group?"

Chaotic Eye: "?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Didn't you say you only found out about it in the group today? Slacking off at work to chat, huh?"

Chaotic Eye: "Is that the point right now?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "By the way, do you have any artifacts to enhance charm on hand?"

Chaotic Eye: "So we're just moving on from destroying Vesta and Ceres like that?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Could it be you want me to destroy a few more asteroids or dwarf planets? Actually, it's not impossible. I've been quite interested in Pluto recently. However, at the speed of light, it would take at least a few hours for Earth's side to see it. So, viewing the spectacular destruction of Pluto in real-time might be improbable."

Chaotic Eye: "You talk about destroying planets like they're fireworks or something."

Chaotic Eye: "Also, since it's so far away, how did you get there?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Not much, just sub-light speed navigation, I guess. It takes roughly half an hour to reach Vesta, about fifty minutes round trip, quite easy."

Chaotic Eye: "Sub-light speed navigation? It sounds really fast? How did you do it? Are you The Flash? Are you the fastest man on Earth?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Though I am indeed fast, the way you put it is a bit weird."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Moreover, my sub-light speed navigation is actually achieved through spells; pure movement speed definitely couldn't reach that level."

Chaotic Eye: "I see, I just remembered you're also a part-time mage. Is it some sort of Star Realm Teleportation spell?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Something like that, they're all teleportation-type spells. If you ever can't make it on Earth, I could help you find an extraterrestrial life planet for interstellar immigration."

Chaotic Eye: "And then we play Adam and Eve?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I am a self-immortality advocate who won't reproduce. If you really want, I can help you create a few offspring just for fun, watching them reproduce continually and advancing on the tech tree, simulating being God or something."

With Zhang Yanhang's current mastery in alchemy, creating life forms is merely foundational work. If there are no power requirements, creating as many as he wants is simple; however, if power is required, then manufacturing them becomes more challenging, especially for creating any stronger than himself, which is impossible.

Chaotic Eye: "..."

Zhou Muxi felt like winking at a blind person, thinking perhaps even the blind might have higher emotional intelligence than Zhang Yanhang.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Let's get back to business."

Chaotic Eye: "Is there actually business?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Do you still have any artifacts to enhance charm?"

Chaotic Eye: "You already emptied my artifacts, and you're Fifth Tier. How could a Fourth Tier Awakener like me have the artifacts you need?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Even low-level ones work, I don't mind."

Chaotic Eye: "I don't even have Fourth Tier ones, it's not that I don't want to give; it's that I really don't have any."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I mean even lower-tier ones are fine."

Chaotic Eye: "?"

Chaotic Eye: "Are you serious?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Everyone knows I'm a mage, isn't it normal for mages to double as alchemists? You give me low-level ones, and I can use alchemy to modify and use them."

Chaotic Eye: "!!!"

Chaotic Eye: "What happened to being a melee berserker? How come you're so talented? Is it true that Destiny System Awakeners can just do whatever they want?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Sorry, a Heavenly Destiny Master really can do whatever they want."

Chaotic Eye: "Then the blue quality [Type II Gene Optimization Medicine] in the storage, do you need it? Each bottle can only enhance the charm attribute by one point and is limited to use with charm below twenty-five points."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I'll take as many as you have!"

Chaotic Eye: "There are a total of three bottles, I'll give them all to you."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Go get them right away, I have an Earth Vein Essence Crystal here for you to receive."

Chaotic Eye: "Is it big?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Not really."

Chaotic Eye: "Then just teleport it here directly in a while."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "OK"
