The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 20 Establishing the Rules of Survival

Ye Ling flew swiftly all the way, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear that she, the unlucky one, would encounter the male and female protagonists.

"However, they all claim to be chosen ones, so why are the male and female protagonists so lucky? I remember in the novel, they always managed to find something good wherever they went. Could it be that they stole my luck?"

"What can we do? We can't win in a head-on confrontation. I wish I could be like the transmigrated characters in novels and find the opportunities between the male and female leads in advance, but the female lead is a reincarnated one!"

"She knew how things were going to go. Luckily, the male lead, that big idiot, wasn't a reincarnated person, or she would be dead today. As for the female lead, she remembered that in the novel, the male lead didn't mention a word about killing Ye Ling in order not to hurt her or distance himself from her."

"Haha, great! This male lead is finally reliable for once. Although his thought process is a bit bizarre, he accidentally hit the nail on the head and escaped a disaster."

"But what if the female lead becomes suspicious because I died in this secret realm in my previous life?"

Ye Ling didn't slow down, but her thoughts were racing as she frantically analyzed the current situation and tried to come up with a solution.

Suddenly, the "butterfly effect" popped into my mind.

"That's right! Although the female lead is wicked and petty, she's really smart. She can be reborn, so it's only natural that she would cause some changes in things. With just a little guidance, wouldn't she be too clever for her own good?"

"So the most important thing right now is to survive until this secret realm trial is over, and then appear in front of her unharmed. She will definitely ask questions when she sees the difference between herself and her memories from her previous life."

"Then you can say that you didn't encounter anything and didn't take the path that the male protagonist must take. You can just make up an excuse and say that you were trapped in a maze and don't appear in front of them."

"Although she can admit that she is also a reincarnation like her, because of her experiences in her previous life, she will definitely try to eliminate all kinds of people who are in the way of her becoming powerful. She remembers that in the novel, she stole many people's opportunities and even tried to kill them all."

"If I were to be so foolish as to tell her that I was also reborn, she would definitely turn on me and use me as a threat. In the end, she would secretly kill me, leaving me with nowhere to cry."

The risk of doing this is too great. After all, this is not a novel fan who reads about time travel and wish fulfillment, but a real person who is in this world of cultivation. Every step must be taken with utmost caution. If you are not careful, you will be killed forever by the strong.

Ye Ling wouldn't be foolish enough to gamble on the kind of luck that transmigrators in novels have, where they face the male and female protagonists without fear of anything, and without the ability to target the original male and female protagonists, leveling up by defeating monsters and becoming a heartthrob.

Those time-travel novels I used to read can't be my survival guide. I have to find ways to survive until I'm strong enough.

Furthermore, he must do everything in his power to survive in the hands of the original male and female protagonists, and he is already involved in the conspiracy behind it all, so he must find out the truth.

Well, I guess I'll have to come up with a survival guide for myself to stay alive until the very end.

"Think about it, think about the books and anime you've read before, some of them must be useful."

Ye Lin frantically recalled the novels and anime she had read in her previous life that were in similar situations to her own, and surprisingly, she actually came up with some useful ideas.

I suddenly remembered an anime I watched where the male protagonist adhered to a principle: every cause has an effect, and he didn't get involved in cause and effect, ignoring everything except himself.

While it's impossible for me to completely avoid karma like the male protagonist, since that's what he thought at the time, reality is always the opposite of what he imagined. If I don't get involved in karma, trouble will come knocking on my door. But minding my own business is something I can do.

Rule 1: Mind your own business. Do not help people of unknown origin, do not make enemies with anyone, and if you encounter injustice on the road, turn around and walk away without looking, thinking, or interfering.

After all, there are many stories in novels about people who save people of unknown origin, only to end up dragging their whole family down with them and dying a miserable death.

Furthermore, when the male and female protagonists were children, some of the snobbish characters who looked down on others all ended up dying a horrible death. The novel is based on reality, and given all of this, the first point is crucial.

Article Two: Be Cautious. When training in dangerous places, be sure to plan ahead, gather as much information as possible, prepare sufficient elixirs, bring enough magical artifacts, and know escape routes. If there is danger, let others go first while you hide in the shadows and observe before making a move.

Ye Ling felt that her life was of utmost importance, and she couldn't afford to miss anything that could save her life, and she would never use a single portion if she could prepare two.

And most importantly, you must have an accurate understanding of yourself and others. You must ensure that the person you are dealing with is within your capabilities, and that they are not hiding their true strength or possessing any powerful magical artifacts. You must also ensure that you can eliminate them quietly and without anyone noticing.

Article 3: Keep a low profile. Play dumb if possible, never show off your shrewdness, and hide anything that is even slightly conspicuous.

Although I feel I don't need to hide my current cultivation level, I definitely will in the future. Facing the unknown, I need strong power to protect myself, and improving my cultivation is urgent. However, I can't let others know, not even if my cultivation speed is a little faster than before. Some people with keen minds will definitely notice something.

It's always good to have more skills. Learn as much as you can, and learn as much as you can. You never know when it might come in handy to save your life.

Oh, right, one last thing: hide all the treasures well, don't let anyone know, and keep some trump cards up your sleeve, because people's hearts are unpredictable.

Article 4: Stay calm. Ignore any provocation from anyone. Under no circumstances should you lose your composure. Everything else may collapse, but your mental defenses must not.

In any situation, calmness is crucial. The more anxious you are, the more mistakes you are likely to make. A strong mental defense is a key to success, so be wary of psychological tactics.

Article 5: Revenge is a must. Let kindness have an edge; this is the most basic rule of survival. Within your capabilities, it's best to resolve conflicts quietly.

If you let your enemy grow, one day he will turn his blade on you. Rather than waiting for him to grow up and kill you, it is better to solve the problem at its source, find an opportunity, and eliminate all the lurking dangers.

After flying on her sword for almost half an hour, Ye Ling formulated these five survival rules. She decided to recite them three times every day when she opened her eyes and ten times every day when she closed them.

These are survival rules I created myself. Whether I can survive until the end depends entirely on myself and whether I can put them into practice.
