Chapter 20 Transmigration Step 3: Choosing an Alignment and Faction

Humans who worship beast spirits and humans who worship celestial beings often clash during their exploration of the land. It's not uncommon for the two groups to fight each other.

As a result, the territory was divided into several spheres of influence, each governed by several different human groups.

Even under these circumstances, the entire territory was not entirely occupied by humans.

To the north of the territory lies a large, uncharted area.

No living creature dares to approach it, and whether there are humans living there or other creatures remains a mystery.

Perhaps when you are strong enough, you can find an opportunity to explore that place.

But right now, our first priority is to choose a suitable starting location for you, or what we might call a beginner's village.

Bai Ye winked at Lin Huang, who then pressed the switch again to change the view outside the window.

The scene shifts to a bustling human city-state. The architectural style shows many influences from the celestial realm, but the buildings are not as luxurious, mostly made of wood, giving them a more rustic and approachable feel.

Bai Ye explained:

"This city-state is called Xia Du. It is a base established in the territory by the Xia clan, a branch of the Celestials. There are also many subordinate small cities around it."

This place enjoys a spring-like climate year-round, has an open-minded culture, and is rich in natural resources, making it particularly suitable for beginners to cultivate.

So, I'll arrange an identity for you later, and you can start your cultivation journey from here, how about that?"

Xu Lun looked out the window and saw that the cityscape of Xiadu did indeed resemble the fantasy world he had in mind.

but...

"This Xia capital was established by celestial beings, so as you said before, the people here worship the celestial civilization, and therefore they cultivate celestial techniques, is that right?"

Bai Ye nodded:

"That's right. Actually, there are also celestial beings residing here. Not all celestial beings stay in the Heavenly Realm."

As I mentioned before, the Celestials need to frequently come to the Earth to search for resources, and they also need to assist humans in defending against invasions by other creatures.

Sometimes, conflicts would break out with human tribes that worshipped beast spirits.

Therefore, the number of celestial beings stationed in the summer capital was actually quite large, and each of them performed their duties, establishing a complete city-state management system.

In addition, there are also academies here, which select outstanding talents from among humans and teach them the cultivation system of the celestial realm by celestial beings. The best among them may even have the opportunity to continue their studies in the celestial realm.

This is a general overview of the Xia capital.

How about it? Sounds pretty good, right?

Xu Lun listened and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and confidently adjusted his glasses.

This is the best solution I found after searching through all night and carefully selecting the best options. You absolutely can't let me down...

He wasn't the administrator of the 6th floor, but he put in a lot of effort to complete this task. He reviewed a bunch of files and records on the 6th floor, consulted several investigators, and compared the plans dozens of times before finally settling on this solution.

If this kid doesn't make a splash, I'm locking the door and he can forget about ever coming out!

No reason why, all my hard work was for nothing!

Just as Bai Ye was feeling smug about his dedication, Xu Lun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up:

"But if the relationship between the celestial beings and humans is really as you say, then what is the difference between the so-called summer capital and a colony?"

Humans are merely appendages of the celestial beings, forever inferior, no different from slaves.

"..."

Bai Ye remained silent; his glasses, which he had just straightened, seemed to be askew again.

Xu Lun ignored him and continued speaking to himself:

"Didn't you say that besides humans who worship celestial beings, there are also humans in the mortal realm who worship beast spirits? What's the situation with those people?"

"Those people..."

Bai Ye adjusted his glasses, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Those humans also have their own fixed territories."

But as you might imagine, the relationship between celestial beings and humans could be one of colonizer and colonized.

In reality, the human tribes that worship beast spirits claim their territory as their own, but in reality, the real power behind the scenes lies with those powerful beast spirits.

Moreover, the cultivation system of beast spirits is something that humans cannot inherit.

It is only possible to obtain power related to beast spirits in a short period of time through some special means, and this process will be accompanied by many risks.

Therefore, if you choose to start your cultivation path in those human tribes, you will find that you actually have no path to cultivate!

The dominant faction in Universe 661 is the Celestial Beings lineage.

In addition, in the southern part of the land, there is a human city-state called Canaan.

However, this city is a subordinate territory of the Starstalkers, located near the southern sea and adjacent to the Starstalkers' maritime border. It can be considered their base and bridgehead in the territory.

According to you, this is actually no different from a colony.

So, which one do you want to choose?

Bai Ye subconsciously adjusted his glasses, saying nothing aloud but cursing inwardly!

Kid, you should be content! What do you take these multiverses for? Playing house? We're here to be ruthless, conquer the heavens, and become the supreme ruler of all time!

You've become quite particular, no wonder you're just a food delivery guy in Universe 616...

I bother!

After Bai Ye finished cursing, he immediately felt much better and gave Xu Lun a polite smile.

Xu Lun, of course, had no idea what the other person was thinking. He was still pondering the other person's words and said:

"Are there any people in the mortal realm who neither believe in celestial beings nor beast spirits, and of course, they also do not believe in those astral signs?"

"Um?"

Bai Ye was stumped by the question; it touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.

Does it exist or not?

Bai Ye's mind raced as she recalled the information she had reviewed the previous night.

As I recall, there are some places, far from city-states, where, while they might believe in celestial beings, hardly anyone cultivates; they're just ordinary people living simple, uneventful lives...

If this kid really went to a place like that, wouldn't his life be too mundane...?

The bureau's intention is to create some commotion so they can quickly grasp the situation...

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then glanced at Lin Huang beside him and gave the order:

"Go and ask the station manager over there for some information, just like Xu Lun asked."

Lin Huang nodded, said nothing more, and immediately left the living room, heading towards the door.

When he reached the door, he first pressed one of the switches on the wall, then lifted the doorknob and lowered it to open the door.

The moment the door opened, the corridor outside was no longer the Administration Bureau's corridor, but an unfamiliar room.

"The team leader wants some information..." he said as he walked in.
