"Sigh, I was supposed to conduct an experiment, but I never expected to end up switching worlds, which turned out to have even more benefits."

"However, the number definitely won't be accurate; it might be a bit more than this."

"With the vast land and sparse population in the Shadow Realm, real estate here couldn't possibly develop," Qin Muye concluded after some serious thought.

"Um, hello, I am a human," Qin Muye replied politely.

"Get lost, or else I'll send you to meet God," Qin Muye glanced at them and didn't take them seriously at all.

"In that case, wait here for a moment. I'll go find the leader to identify you," this Dead Shadow was cautious and didn't let Qin Muye leave, instead, going to find someone.

"First of all, I need to locate the Death Shadows from the family faction, and then ask them about the status of the ancient Shadow Monsters and the Emperor Shadows."

"My situation is a bit special; I'm not yet fully born, and it'll take some time," Qin Muye said.

"I also wonder if this temporary Talent of the team annihilation engine will work on the Shadow Administration in the Shadow Realm; if it doesn't, wouldn't it be a waste? After all, they're my colleagues," Qin Muye thought that with such powerful rules, there probably shouldn't be too many issues.

"No wonder there are no Shadow Monsters around; it seems they've been rounded up by this group of Dead Shadows," Qin Muye realized why he had only killed a batch of Shadow Monsters and then there were no more after that.

"Apart from being a bit darker in color, the Shadow Realm is actually quite nice... I guess."

"The Shadow Realm is actually a good place, all the resources needed for breeding Shadows are from the Shadow Realm; it's just too troublesome to gather them." @@novelbin@@

"There aren't many records of ancient Shadow Monsters; there are only seventeen in the Shadow Administration. One was killed by the Yin Mountain Lord before, so now there are only sixteen listed on paper."

"Stop, you are... a human?" A patrolling Dead Shadow asked with a hint of confusion in its voice, apparently not having seen a Shadow before.

"This... I remember that our brethren are nurtured within humans' shadows, but there's something off about your shadow," the Dead Shadow began to doubt its life, as those who come here are Shadows, unlike Qin Muye who hasn't awakened yet.

"This shouldn't be too difficult."

It's possible to have a Rank 6, but the chances are slim. If there really was a Rank 6, it would've directly slaughtered Tian Peng, allowing Dead Shadows to enter the Human Realm through the various seals.

For example, Transcendent severance, Energy Annihilation, and various other powerful methods.

After all, Dead Shadows come from the Shadows of dead Shadowers, which means that Shadowers have worked their entire lives to support the Dead Shadows.

After all, this is also a world, not just a small town. Even if the Shadow Realm is not suitable for Dead Shadows, the Shadow Realm can still erode the Human Realm.

But whether they approve or not is up to them; they have legs, can they really control me?

But if that were the case, then the team annihilation engine on Qin Muye's body would be inoperative.

Quite a few Dead Shadows were patrolling; it seemed they had formed a force.

From the Shadow Administration, Qin Muye had also acquired quite a bit of information, such as that it's not all peaceful between Dead Shadows, and various forces exist.

From the Shadow Administration, Qin Muye also learned that Dead Shadows don't just hunt Shadow Monsters, they can even farm, raise livestock, and so on.

From the appearance of some nearby crops, they had at least moved on from having to hunt to survive and grow stronger.

Huge battles had been fought in the past, and the casualties were quite severe.

If it's still hundreds of rounds even after being overpowered, what kind of overpowering is that?

Since they didn't attack immediately but instead questioned, it's more than likely they're from the family faction. They might not have seen humans before, but they naturally have a good impression, which is why it's like this.

Also, the place he teleported to this time might have been slightly off, so he ran into a group of Shadow Monsters.

And with these magic power-free methods, Qin Muye doesn't have to worry about someone targeting him the same way sometime in the future.

Anyway, they'll find out tomorrow when no one shows up for work.

It's very likely because Qin Muye wasn't there. Otherwise, who knows? Another ancient Shadow Monster might pop up.

Clearly, Qin Muye's admonitions didn't have much effect on these Shadow Monsters.

The Spirit Monsters, in terms of both Attributes and Skills, are far superior to this group; even as mere projections, killing them is like stepping on ants.

But the problem is that all these people hold high positions. Even if they have the power, they wouldn't come here, which is why so many people die exploring the Shadow Realm every year.

Qin Muye watched the encircling Shadow Monsters with a watchful eye. This time his shadow had gained a degree of spirituality. Although it hadn't fully matured, it had transformed from a stone to an egg, from inedible to edible.

Qin Muye's eyes were covered with a layer of crimson light. After taking in his surroundings, he noted that these Shadow Monsters had some brains—they understood the concept of "bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

Asking for leave went smoothly, just as he had expected. The Administration didn't approve it at all.

The Human Realm does not produce any resources that could nurture a shadow because it is purely a magic-free environment. Unless the seal of the Shadow Realm breaks and starts to erode, even if there is residual shadow energy, it would be annihilated quickly.

It seems to be because the environment is not affected.

There are many more humans than Dead Shadows, and in any era, Transcendents like the Shadows couldn't possibly be mainstream; they can only be a minority. More importantly, Dead Shadows aren't immortal—they can die, either due to Shadow Monsters or other causes.

There are far more Hermits who died in the Human Realm than those who died in the Shadow Realm, so in reality, the Dead Shadows from the kinship faction far outnumber those from the killer faction.

Although the kinship faction's Dead Shadows are in the majority, it does not mean that there are fewer from the killer faction. These Dead Shadows wander the wilderness, living a solitary life, just like the group he encountered that was transformed from the Yin Mountain Army.

He was quite interested in this. So once his shadow completes awakening, he plans to research the environmental factors of the Human Realm. If he could discover something significant, it would greatly enhance his two Talents, Crimson Ancestor and Lord of Hell, and allow the magic power constructed from various factors to produce a powerful effect.

Like the environment of survival undergoing drastic changes, such as the End of Dharma or other extreme conditions.

It's not clear whether it's the kinship faction or the killer faction, but judging from the construction of this building, it is much better than the group of killer faction Dead Shadows he encountered in the Underground Relics.

It just so happens that Black Hawk and others were unlucky. If they had encountered Dead Shadows from the kinship faction, they might not only have been sent back, but they could also have received some opportunities.

Generally speaking, the strength of mid-to-low tier Dead Shadows is far greater than that of mid-to-low tier Shadows.

One after another, Spirit Monster projections emerged, like tigers among sheep. These Shadow Monsters were no match, and were torn into pieces on the spot.

Advancing further, he soon found a place resembling a fortified camp.

The Shadow Realm is vast, and the Shadow Administration has not fully explored it. After all, once Shadows enter the Shadow Realm, they're basically like mobile pieces of meat, unless Tian Peng himself leads the Elders. Otherwise, they're likely to perish halfway.

This temporary Skill is quite useful, so there's definitely no problem when it comes to screwing people over. The Evangelical Spirit Monster isn't with him and it's suffering too.

These Shadow Monsters have a strength of about 3rd to 4th tier. Although he is only 4th tier, killing these creatures is a matter of lifting a hand. No, there's no need to even move a hand.

This Dead Shadow is just another special kind of Life Form. It's not like when they are Shadows; as long as the Shadow hasn't died, they can recover. Becoming a Dead Shadow means death comes when it should, only without the restraint of a lifespan.

This wasn't impossible.

Along the way, no foolish Shadow Monsters came to trouble him. It could also be possible that he had killed most of the nearby ones.

The earlier breach of the seal, combined with the erosion by the Shadow Realm, had already proven the viability of this plan.

But the erosion failed, as it was swiftly contained by the Shadow Administration, and the seal was even reinforced.

It's only because of the strong power of the Dead Shadows that neither the Shadow Administration nor the Yin Mountain Army could take advantage of the situation, otherwise they would have invaded long ago.

It's just that due to their own limitations, civilization still resembles a feudal emperor system.

The largest force belongs to the forces under the Emperor Shadow, and as for the various small forces, there are as many as carps crossing the river. Although they are from the kinship faction, it doesn't mean they truly aim for the same goal; if they want to become stronger, they still have to compete.

The top layer naturally consists of the Emperor Shadow, and Qin Muye guessed that the opponent might also have the strength of the 5th tier.
