Cosmic Trading System

"I understand what you're getting at, but I can only say that the item I got is rather unique. There's no one backing me. If there were, they would be a terrifying entity, even a thousand or ten thousand of me, at my current strength level, wouldn't stand a chance." Lin Yun slightly nodded as he spoke.

With the Cosmic Trading System, if it was as he'd been introduced to, then there shouldn't be any issue.

Even if there were any issue, it wouldn't target Earth specifically, it'd be aimed at all civilizations. Since this system had acknowledged him as the master, regardless of his actions, the planet wouldn't have any power to resist.

And if, everything was merely a lie concocted by an alien, and there was no Cosmic Trading System at all, just them trying to scheme against Earth, Lin Yun believed this was unlikely. If it were true, there'd be no point resisting.

That's because the other party's power was overwhelming, commit suicide or surrender would be their only options.

"Very well, I believe you." The middle-aged man stared deep into Lin Yun's eyes for a moment before giving a slight nod.

"My second question, what's the maximum number of employees Qingyun Company can accommodate? If Huaxia's economy collapses, can you single-handedly save it?" The middle-aged man asked again.

Qingyun Company's productivity was too vast, he was concerned that they would control Huaxia's economy and make it harder for people to survive. Nobody was willing to sponsor idle people for free, after all, Qingyun Company was just that, a company, not the government.

In that case, he'd rather not let Qingyun Company return to Huaxia, not let its citizens use Qingyun Company's advanced products, have Huaxia close its doors to the world. This way, as long as Qingyun Company didn't actively confront Huaxia, its people could live in peace for a long time.

"I imagine you already noticed that the game, 'Future Storm', can solve a lot of unemployment issues, right? It can allow for a re-distribution of wealth. I can tell you, this game can accommodate all of Earth's population. Knowing this, I assume your worries are alleviated?" Lin Yun chuckled.

"Additionally, I have other jobs available, enough for tens of billions, or over a hundred billion people, so you really have nothing to worry about…" He paused for a bit before continuing.

The rival didn't understand that Earth's humans were its greatest asset, and he certainly wouldn't let any significant troubles arise.

"Fine, I believe your answer for this one as well." The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yun for a while before nodding again.

"So in return, let me tell you something." He paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

Upon saying this, he waved his hand to dismiss the men in black behind him.

"What is it?" Noticing the solemn expression on the middle-aged man, Lin Yun asked curiously.

"Our Earth isn't as simple as you may think." Once the men in black had moved some distance away, the middle-aged man pushed a button on his wrist, releasing a light shield behind him, then took a deep breath before speaking.

When he first came to know of this, he was greatly shocked. This matter was known by very few in Huaxia, let alone the whole world. If the majority were to find out, it could potentially incite chaos. Consequently, after discussion, several national powers decided to cover it up.

Moreover, it was forbidden to record it online.

Regardless, with this matter only affecting the world once every few decades, it mostly didn't influence the normal functioning of the world.

"What do you mean? What's so special about our Earth?" Lin Yun identified that the middle-aged man had activated a privacy shield, his pupils slightly contracted as he asked in surprise.

Humans on Earth were remarkably efficient at transforming various energies into Spiritual Energy. He had long been pondering if there was something special about Earth that led to this, or if the inhabitants of Earth were simply the favored offspring of nature itself.

On hearing the middle-aged man speak so seriously, Lin Yun immediately started speculating along these lines.

This middle-aged man was a big shot, a bigwig, so it was quite normal for him to know things ordinary people didn't.

"Have you ever watched the 'Creation of the Gods'?" The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice, despite having activated the privacy shield.

"No kidding, of course I have." Lin Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes in response.

'Creation of the Gods', which Huaxian hadn't watched it?

"Could it be...the story of 'Creation of the Gods' is true?" Lin Yun went pale and exclaimed in the next instant.

He possessed the Cosmic Trading System and knew there were many civilizations in the cosmos that followed the path of immortals. So the tale of 'Creation of the Gods' could indeed be true. It wasn't improbable either.

Being well-thought, this probability seemed to be increasing because the characters described in it resembled those from the world of the immortals. If it weren't real, how could it resemble it so precisely?

"When I mention 'Creation of the Gods', I'm not saying that the story narrated in it is real. Let me clarify, that I merely heard about it. I'm trying to point out the era and the powerful figures from it, which might really have existed.

It's said that during that era, certain individuals had powers as astonishing as turning rivers and seas upside down, splitting mountains, slashing the moon…" The middle-aged man said solemnly.

"Are you joking? If such powerful people existed, why did they disappear all of a sudden? From the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasty, there was no such exaggerated figure recorded in history. Besides, I've studied Earth's environment, it should be quite difficult for one to cultivate immortality, right...?" Lin Yun asked in disbelief.

Turning rivers and seas upside down, splitting mountains, slashing the moon … Lin Yu had enough power to turn rivers now, but he couldn't overturn seas, or depending on how you look at it, he could split mountains but slashing the moon was impossible, or depending on how it's done.

If people at that power level really existed, Lin Yu probably wasn't their match.

Those with such abilities would surely have a long lifespan. If they genuinely existed during that era and there was more than one of them, many of them might still be alive. In reality, the powerful surveillance he deployed outside Earth hadn't found anyone of such power.

If there were only one or two people with such abilities, there was a chance that they used some methods to avoid detection. However, if there were a lot of them, it was impossible that he hadn't detected any of them.

Additionally, they wouldn't have any reason to deliberately avoid surveillance.

"Perhaps, I may have exaggerated a bit. I'm not too sure about the strength those people possessed, but they did indeed exist. But they exist not in our space, but in a Parallel Space…" The middle-aged man nodded, then continued.

"Parallel Space?" Lin Yun's expression changed several times.

He'd heard of such a space, he'd read details about many such spaces on the Cosmic Trading System.

In fact, when these super civilizations and super warriors set up the Cosmic Trading System, they utilized something called Space Turbulence.

These spaces were abundant there.

In various parts across the cosmos, no certain spot had these spaces. Some relatively weaker ones would dissipate as soon as they appeared, some stronger ones continued to exist, and there were several others that could shift their positions.

Seeing this big shot's reaction, the Parallel Space seemed to have some unusual relationship with Earth.
