Chapter 94: Questions and a New Persona
Faced with Niu Gao's direct order to leave, Titan did not get angry. He knew that he had disappointed his old friends. With a helpless sigh, he said, "Alright, I'll go. I hope all of you will prosper. Once you're settled, I'll be sure to send my congratulations."
After saying that, he bowed once more to Ye Cheng, who had remained silent the entire time, then turned around and left with his clan members.
Ye Cheng's expression remained calm. He wasn't concerned about the Strength Clan leaving. After all, he had already gained three of the four clans. The Strength Clan held little importance to White Cloud City. Even if Titan was some so called divine craftsman, Ye Cheng wasn't Tang San he had no need for hidden weapons.
Titan refused to join White Cloud City today, but one day, he would regret it deeply.
When he saw the other three clans thriving after joining White Cloud City, their strength rising rapidly, and then looked back at his own clan, stagnating and declining, unable to change its fate…
When that day came, he would look back on today's decision and wish he could strangle himself for making such a foolish choice.
After the Strength Clan left, Ye Cheng continued discussing the construction of White Cloud City with the three clan leaders. Once some of the finer details were finalized, he bid them farewell.
According to the plan, Niu Gao would lead the Defense Clan to the old site of White Cloud City for a detailed survey. Based on real conditions, they would create a comprehensive plan before officially beginning construction.
If everything went smoothly, the entire project would be completed in just a few months.
A city built in just a few months?
That might sound unbelievable, but in the Douluo world, where supernatural powers exist, it was actually normal. Some soul masters possessed abilities perfectly suited for construction, giving them a natural advantage.
And the Defense Clan specialized in construction. They knew exactly where to find the right talent. With an unlimited budget, many would eagerly join the construction of White Cloud City. If necessary, the timeline could be shortened even further.
A few months to build an entire city to Ye Cheng, that was already ideal.
Quality mattered more than speed.
He wasn't rushing things rushed work would lead to problems later.
With that settled, the plan was finalized.
After being escorted to the gate by the three clan leaders, Ye Cheng's figure flickered he vanished from sight.
He had teleported.
Using his space marker, he instantly returned to his mansion in Heaven Dou City.
At that moment, the entire mansion had been meticulously maintained by Zhu Zhuqing and the five sisters. They had trimmed the plants, tidied up the grounds, and transformed what was once a barren estate into a well kept home.
With a single teleportation, Ye Cheng returned to his room.
Since he had previously set a spatial marker there, he could teleport directly inside.
Now, with nothing urgent to handle, he suddenly had an idea.
It was time for another Q&A session.
"Hmm… what kind of questions should I create this time?"
"This time, I definitely can't include myself in the questions."
"After all, if every Q&A revolves around me, it would seem too suspicious."
"But it would be a waste not to take full advantage of these Q&A sessions…"
"Since that's the case, why not create some alternate personas to draw attention away from myself?"
The more Ye Cheng thought about it, the more excited he became.
His persona system allowed him to create unlimited personas.
In theory, he could generate as many as he wanted.
Once a persona reached 100% completion, he could either:
Fuse its power into himself, just like he did with his Twin Martial Soul Persona an instant power boost.Keep it separate, allowing the persona to retain its own independent power for later use.
What's more, these personas weren't limited to himself he could transfer them to others. The system's flexibility was incredible.
If he chose to use a persona's power, there were two options:
Direct fusion, making the power permanent.Temporary enhancement, where he gained the abilities of a persona only while actively using it.
This was perfect for creating powerful alter egos.
"Now, what kind of persona should I create?"
Ye Cheng began pondering deeply.
"If I create a persona with powers outside this world's system like magic or cultivation the recognition energy required would be astronomical."
"After all, introducing a completely new power system would require forcefully altering the world's laws to accommodate it."
"The energy needed for that would be ridiculous."
"Besides, people's first reaction to unfamiliar powers is skepticism. Even if they see it with their own eyes, their subconscious will resist believing it, making it harder to reach 100% recognition."
"That means… I should stick to abilities that align with this world's established power system."
Ye Cheng eliminated one idea after another, eventually realizing that bringing in external power systems wasn't viable for now.
If he rushed it, the persona wouldn't reach 100% completion, making it unusable.
If someone exposed his disguise, he would be instantly caught.
The risk was too high better to wait until later.
"Forget it, I'll take my time."
Ye Cheng sighed. Other power systems could wait.
Trying to rush progress would only lead to disaster.
"With my current strength as an Ultimate Douluo, there's no point in making a weak persona. And since the God Realm is already watching this world, why not create a divine level persona to draw attention away from me?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was a brilliant plan.
"Yes, that's it!"
Now that he had finalized his idea, the next step was choosing a backstory.
Should his new persona be from…
The Clear Sky Sect?
Sea God Island?
Spirit Hall?
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Heaven Dou Empire?
Star Luo Empire?
Or perhaps the Spirit Beast faction?
The options were endless.
For a moment, Ye Cheng felt overwhelmed by all the choices.
"Hmm… I'll start with Sea God Island."
Among the options, he ultimately chose a faction with an established divine legacy.
As for the question and answer content…
This time, he would make it a public Q&A open to everyone.
Anyone could answer freely.
If they got it right, the rewards would be generous.
If they got it wrong, the punishment would be severe.
After all, if people could randomly guess with no consequences, then 99% of participants would just take wild guesses until someone got lucky.
And that wasn't allowed.
So getting a question wrong would come with real consequences this way, people would think carefully before answering.
