Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 30: The strong possess everything; the weak are merely dominated by the strong.

Ye Xuan didn't know what kind of birds these birds were before they mutated, but since they could survive in the Hangzhou Nature Reserve, they were undoubtedly rare creatures.

Rarity implies weakness.

These incredibly weak creatures, after their companions were killed by humans, not only showed no fear or desire to flee, but actually organized themselves and made no attempt to conceal their malice towards humans.

Do you think you can kill humans?

If it were just an ordinary person standing here, they might actually get injured or even die given their sheer number; but unfortunately, it is he who is standing here.

Lin Miao was unaware of Ye Xuan's thoughts. At this moment, looking at the large flock of mutated birds in the tree, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She walked to Ye Xuan's side and asked in a low voice:
"What should we do now?"

"There are too many of them, should we retreat first?"

"unnecessary."

Ye Xuan said calmly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

"They're just a bunch of beasts."

The moment the words fell, Ye Xuan's spiritual power surged, and the long sword at his waist emitted a clear sword sound as it flew out of its sheath and hovered in front of him.

Golden light flowed across the sword's blade, revealing its sharp edge.

The next moment, Ye Xuan raised his hand and waved his sword, which instantly transformed into countless golden sword beams that shot towards the mutated bird flock on the tree like a rainstorm. Wherever the sword beams passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"Wow—!"

A piercing bird cry suddenly rang out, seemingly carrying endless pain, but it lasted only a moment before being swallowed up by the sword's edge.

Crimson blood bloomed in the air like alluring flowers, dripping onto the ground and staining the soil a deep red. A strong, fishy stench filled the air.

The mutated birds on the treetops fell in swathes like harvested wheat; their corpses plummeted from the sky, hitting the ground with dull thuds.

Feathers drifted in the air, mingling with blood, creating a scene that was both extremely bloody and strangely beautiful.

Lin Miao stared blankly at the scene before him, his shock beyond words.

She had never imagined that killing could be so—beautiful.

"Do you need the carcasses of these mutated birds?"

Ye Xuan paid no attention to the blood everywhere and the corpses on the ground. Having experienced death once, he always had a calmness towards killing and death that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to casually kill several mutated rats in the school without the slightest hesitation.

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Lin Miao came to her senses and quickly nodded.

"Yes, yes."

"Although I don't know what kind of mutated bird it is, since it's mutated, I definitely have to try it."

"But I'll have to test the poison first."

"I'm afraid they'll mutate and develop organs and abilities that can store toxins, making them inedible."

"But even if it's poisonous, it's still edible if it's handled properly."

"And generally, the more toxic the substance, the better it tastes."

As he spoke, Lin Miao seemed to have thought of something, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"You really have a big heart."

Ye Xuan didn't know how to evaluate Lin Miao's mentality.

If it were a normal person, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the environment filled with corpses and blood created by Ye Xuan's sword strike.

But Lin Miao not only didn't care, he even considered the potential "toxicity" and "taste" of these mutated birds. He truly deserves to be called a chef recognized by the "Garuda Knife."

"Speaking of which, Ye Xuan, you're really strong."

"Whether it was the initial mutated wild boar or the large flock of mutated birds just now, you seemed to handle them all with remarkable ease."

"Although I had a premonition that you were very strong when I saw that golden sword light that day, now I feel that you are much stronger than I imagined."

"You are also a holder of treasures from all heavens, aren't you?"

As Lin Miao dissected the mutated bird's body and removed the edible parts, he asked Ye Xuan a question.

She had previously thought Ye Xuan was a superhuman, but she forgot that superhumans could never possess such strength as Ye Xuan.

"Ah."

Ye Xuan nodded, without denying it.

He had no intention of hiding his identity as the holder of the "King's Power and Hegemony" template. Many people knew this, so one more Lin Miao wouldn't make a difference.

"really."

Lin Miao gave an "I knew it" look, then asked with some curiosity.

"But why didn't you join the Tian Shu Bureau, but instead chose to cooperate with it like me?"

"It's because my parents don't approve."

“They think that although I will be protected inside, I will lose a lot of freedom and will not be able to do what I want to do as I do now.”

"But I actually really want to join."

She spoke with some helplessness, unsure of what her parents were worried about.

Her only skill is cooking, so what freedom could she possibly lose?
"There's nothing about the Tian Shu Bureau that appeals to me."

"And I don't like being restricted by others."

Ye Xuan said calmly.

Joining an official department would have been a good option without a system, but he gained a system and the ability to control his own destiny in the future.

In this situation, he naturally wouldn't join a place that wouldn't help him.

Moreover, he doesn't like being directed or ordered around.

Once a person gains power, he will have no fondness for anything that might restrict him.

Why do those who wield power and possess wealth always make mistakes that ordinary people would consider inappropriate given their status and wealth?
Why are they still so greedy when they have everything?

Because in the eyes of those who possess power and wealth, they are different from ordinary people.

Those so-called systems can be used to restrict ordinary people, but they cannot restrict them; they should be able to do whatever they want without having to consider the consequences.

If they have to bear the consequences of their actions like ordinary people, then what is the point of the power and wealth they possess?
This will not change in the future.

The only difference is that instead of power and wealth determining a person's status, it has changed to strength determining a person's status.

The strong can have everything, while the weak can only be dominated by the strong.

Ye Xuan wouldn't hypocritically say that he was different from them. Essentially, when he said he didn't like being "restricted," he meant not being restricted by anything and being able to do whatever he wanted. This also included the systems that humans created to bind them.

However, he simply wouldn't do what those in power and those who control wealth do.

He had no interest in such boring things.
