Of course, he had also thought about using obedient Sun and Moon People to repeatedly farm this skill within the 【Salvation Domain】.

He had even speculated—

Assuming the total number of players in the entire world is X.

Then the skill 【Salvation Domain】 could theoretically be farmed up to X-1 times!

Meaning, almost every single person in the world could have one!

There would only be one person without this skill.

This sole unlucky individual would, in the “and so on” cycle of skill farming, become the one betrayed in the final experiment.

And once this unlucky individual also obtained the 【Salvation Domain】 skill through the 「Salvation」 judgment…

Then in that 「Salvation」 judgment, another person would inevitably lose this skill.

So theoretically, the maximum number of people in the entire world who could possess this skill is—the total world population minus one.

Of course, this is a purely theoretical scenario.

Applying this theory to the actual situation, then—

Assuming Jiang Ye has X clones…

The maximum number of clones among these X that could possess 【Salvation Domain】 is X-1.

Naturally, while making this speculation, Jiang Ye also pondered an extra thought—

If the clone “Cheng Lin” who possesses the SSS-grade 【Salvation】 talent were to meet his other clones…

Would he really proceed without any reservations to farm more 【Salvation Domain】 skills?

And the final answer he arrived at was…

Most likely, he would not.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want more skills.

It was that he didn’t want… to betray himself.

This thought might sound a bit sentimental.

After all, among his many clones, there was originally a specific category of 【Tool Clones】.

The purpose of 【Tool Clones】 was to serve as expendable materials for 【Clone Sacrifice】, or as coordinates for 【clone swapping】…

But even 【Tool Clones】 were, in essence, one with Jiang Ye;
they were “himself.”

It was akin to—

Some clones were like eyes, responsible for seeing the way;

Some clones were like feet, responsible for walking;

Some clones were like hands, responsible for doing things;

Some clones were like hair, where losing some didn’t matter…

In essence, within the whole of “himself,” every part could be understood as a “tool.”

Each tool performing its own duty formed a complete Jiang Ye.

But the situation with 【Salvation Domain】 was different!

Although it wasn’t explicitly stated in the skill description…

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but suspect—

In the 「Salvation」 judgment, was the final punishment for the betrayed “Trusting One”… really just maintaining a near-death state for 100 minutes?

After reviving from that 100-minute near-death state, would this betrayed entity undergo some change?

For example… become corrupted? Or fall into depravity? Or mutate?

A normal person who is betrayed would more or less harbor resentment and anger, perhaps even become corrupted, right?

Moreover, this SS-grade 【Salvation Domain】 skill was immediately followed by a 【Heart Demon Materialization】 skill!

So, could it be…

That the betrayed one, after reviving from the near-death state, would give rise to a heart demon?

If it was a heart demon that could undergo 【Heart Demon Materialization】, that might be manageable…

But what if it was something worse, more terrifying than a heart demon?

These were the concerns Jiang Ye had considered for his clones.

Therefore, before confirming whether there were any hidden dangers in being betrayed within the 【Salvation Domain】, he most likely wouldn’t casually experiment with his own clones.

But these three Sun People were directly using Sun and Moon People for experiments, and he couldn’t seem to stop them.

So…

Jiang Ye’s worries about experimenting with clones naturally transformed into—

Would the Sun and Moon People, after being betrayed in the 【Salvation Domain】 and reviving from 100 minutes of near-death…

Develop some hidden dangers not mentioned in the skill description?

The easiest one to think of was actually like an AI becoming corrupted in sci-fi movies—

Perhaps the Sun and Moon People revived from near-death would develop some anti-human… well, more accurately, “anti-Sun People” ideology?

Or maybe they wouldn’t necessarily develop an “ideology,” but the underlying commands constructing the Sun and Moon People would mutate, changing from obeying Sun People to overthrowing Sun People?

And if Jiang Ye’s conjectures were true, then the entire Qiankun Land might very well face a terrifying revolution!

Of course, the prerequisite for a revolution was that there truly could be enough Sun and Moon People who, after experiencing betrayal, successfully became corrupted…

But then again…

If the Qiankun Land could truly face a revolution.

Then the cause of this revolution would actually be Jiang Ye’s SSS-grade 【Salvation】 talent?

Then the purpose of this 【Salvation】 talent’s existence…

Could it possibly be to lead the revolution of the Sun and Moon People?

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ye, in this era, was actually an indispensable key figure?

As he pondered this…

The three Sun People in the train car continued their experiments without pause.

Also worried about potential accidents, they conducted a full 10 experiments using Sun and Moon People.

And these 10 experiments all proceeded without incident.

Thus, the train car now contained 10 Sun and Moon People in a “near-death” state, and 10 Sun and Moon People who had obtained the SS-grade 【Salvation Domain】.

Among them, the 10 who obtained the skill showed no abnormalities.

The 10 who fell into the “near-death” state were all in their Primitive State, with their eyeballs all showing a pure white color.

10 experiments were basically enough to prove the point.

So, for the 11th experiment, that Slightly Chubby Kid Brother finally stepped onto the field himself!

And the result of this experiment was still quite smooth.

Namely—

Within the 【Salvation Domain】, the Sun People Kid Brother chose “betrayal,” and the Sun and Moon People lab rat chose “trust.”

In the end, the Kid Brother obtained the skill 【Salvation Domain】.

That Sun and Moon Person also fell into a “near-death” state!

The results of a full 11 experiments made these three Sun People Kid Brothers highly excited!

Soon after, they successively conducted the 12th and 13th experiments.

Namely, the remaining two Sun People also each obtained the 【Salvation Domain】 skill!

Of course, the Kid Brother who wore Jiang Ye as a watch on his wrist and disguised himself as “Cheng Lin” also, during the experiment, took off the Jiang Ye-style watch and abandoned the “Cheng Lin” identity.

After all, from the Kid Brother’s perspective, although the “Cheng Lin” identity possessed an SSS-grade talent, the only truly useful part was that SS-grade 【Salvation Domain】.

And now, they didn’t need the “Cheng Lin” identity to possess the 【Salvation Domain】 skill anymore.

Thus, “Cheng Lin” was naturally discarded like a tool.

Jiang Ye didn’t mind, continuing to low-key witness the trio’s madness…

Yes, their crazy experiments did not end just because all three had obtained the 【Salvation Domain】 skill.

After all, according to the skill description…

If a “Betrayer” cumulatively obtains 【Salvation Domain】 more than 10 times, the skill level can be upgraded to SSS-grade!

An SSS-grade skill!

The 【Salvation Domain】 skill, even at only SS-grade, already seemed utterly outrageous due to its skill-farming characteristic.

Then, when upgraded to SSS-grade…

What kind of effect would it have?!

These three Sun People Kid Brothers were clearly eager to know the answer!

Thus, after the 13th experiment, they prepared to conduct 10 more experiments to raise the skill level to SSS-grade!

So, 10 more Sun and Moon People were successively selected into the 【Salvation Domain】, and then, under “instruction,” chose “trust”…

Then, these 10 Sun and Moon People also successively fell into a “near-death” state.

And that Slightly Chubby Kid Brother was the first to upgrade his SS-grade skill to SSS-grade!

The other two Kid Brothers were eager to know the result.

So the Slightly Chubby Kid Brother actively displayed the skill description of the SSS-grade 【Salvation Domain】—

【Salvation Domain (SSS): You can designate any two selectable players to form an initial Grade I Salvation Domain lasting no more than 100 minutes.】

【Players within the Grade I Salvation Domain are in an absolutely safe state. (Cannot be attacked, cannot be harmed, cannot be Erased)】

【When players within the Salvation Domain make physical contact, both parties must undergo 「Salvation」. (Limited to once per skill effect)】

【Salvation: The two parties involved in the salvation make a choice between “trust” and “betrayal.”】

【If both parties choose “trust,” the Salvation Domain is upgraded to Grade II, and this skill’s Cooldown time is reset to zero.】

【Players within the Grade II Salvation Domain are in an absolutely safe state and can enter “S-grade Enlightenment Mode” or “S-grade Deduction Mode” at any time. When a player leaves the Grade II Salvation Domain, they gain a 10-hour “S-grade Luck” BUFF.】

【If both parties choose “betrayal,” the Salvation Domain duration is shortened to 1 minute, and this skill’s Cooldown time is extended to 1200 minutes.】

【If one party chooses “trust” and the other chooses “betrayal,” then—】

【The “Trusting One” is judged to leave the Salvation Domain and maintains a near-death state for 100 minutes.】

【ps: If the “Trusting One” possesses the skill “Salvation Domain,” they lose this skill.】

【If the “Trusting One” is still alive after the “near-death” state is lifted, they randomly obtain either “Curse of Despair” or “Rebirth state.”】

【The “Betrayer” exclusively enjoys a Grade III Salvation Domain for 200 minutes and obtains the skill “Salvation Domain (SSS).”】

【Players within the Grade III Salvation Domain are in an absolutely invincible state and can enter “SSS-grade Enlightenment Mode” or “SSS-grade Deduction Mode” at any time. When a player leaves the Grade III Salvation Domain, they gain a 10-hour “SSS-grade Luck” BUFF.】

【ps: If a “Betrayer” cumulatively obtains “Salvation Domain (SSS)” more than 10,000 times, they gain the title “Enemy of the Whole World” and can autonomously choose and edit the “Rebirth state”! (If the skill is lost before reaching 10,000 times, the count restarts from 0)】

This…

The improvement in the skill effect was quite significant.

First, the condition for triggering 【Salvation Domain】 changed from being within 100 meters to having almost no restrictions.

As long as they were selectable targets, a 【Salvation Domain】 could be created for them.

However, to trigger the 「Salvation」 judgment effect, the two players enclosed by the domain still needed to be relatively close to achieve physical contact within a short time.

Of course, if the skill was used purely for protection without considering triggering the 「Salvation」 judgment, then using this skill indeed no longer had restrictions.

Besides the skill trigger becoming simpler, the skill effect was also greatly enhanced!

The “Salvation Domain” itself was directly divided into three tiers: Grade I to Grade III.

And the higher-grade Salvation Domains added “Enlightenment Mode” and “Deduction Mode” on top of the original life-saving function.

This was equivalent to possessing two active abilities!

Jiang Ye coveted that “Enlightenment Mode” immensely!

If the main body, Jiang Ye #0, could activate “SSS-grade Enlightenment Mode” and comprehend more clone skills…

Then his growth speed would be astonishingly fast!

As for “Deduction Mode,” although not explicitly described in the skill, it also seemed like a pretty good ability.

In short, the higher-grade Salvation Domains were absolutely worth more than their cost!

They could both save lives and enhance strength!

Furthermore, the consequences of the 「Salvation」 judgment itself, where one party chose “trust” and the other “betrayal,” also underwent some changes.

Here, the additional hidden dangers for the “Trusting One” after recovering from near-death were explicitly described—

Obtaining “Curse of Despair” or “Rebirth state.”

Unfortunately, the skill description also didn’t specify what “Curse of Despair” entailed or what “Rebirth state” was.

But based on speculation from the skill description…

“Rebirth state” should be a positive effect?

After all, the Betrayer was rewarded with the ability to autonomously choose “Rebirth state” after cumulatively betraying 10,000 times.

Correspondingly, “Curse of Despair” should be a negative effect.

And the “Trusting One” randomly obtaining either “Curse of Despair” or “Rebirth state”…

Could essentially be understood as—

A player, after experiencing betrayal, might become completely dispirited and utterly corrupted, but could also possibly break through and stand anew, gaining a new life.

These two situations correspond to “Curse of Despair” and “Rebirth state” appearing randomly.

However, Jiang Ye speculated—

The Probability of “Curse of Despair” appearing should be much, much higher than that of “Rebirth state.”

It was very likely that among millions of betrayed “Trusting Ones,” only one might obtain “Rebirth state.”

After all, even a “Betrayer” needed to trigger betrayal at least 10,000 times to obtain “Rebirth state.”

Therefore, a “Trusting One” obtaining “Rebirth state” should logically be even harder than for a “Betrayer.”

Just as Jiang Ye was analyzing this SSS-grade skill in his mind…

The three Sun People Kid Brothers grew even more excited.

Especially regarding the “Rebirth state,” they seemed to have their own interpretation—

“Holy shit! Rebirth state? Could it possibly mean evolving into a ‘Newborn’??”

“N-no… impossible, right?! A ‘Newborn’ above ‘Infant’ actually exists?!”

The Sun Person who said this was breathing heavily.

Jiang Ye was also taken aback, similarly suspecting—

Could this Rebirth state actually be the Newborn state?

The Sun People of the Qiankun Land were also divided into ranks.

Basically, the younger a Sun Person was, the higher their status and the greater their authority.

And the highest-level existence among all Sun People was the “Infant.”

Legend said that above “Infant,” there was an even higher-level “Newborn.”

If “Rebirth state” truly meant becoming a “Newborn”…

Then this state, for Sun People, meant directly stepping onto the pinnacle of power!

No wonder the three Sun People were breathing heavily, their eyes red…

At the same time, Jiang Ye noticed—

Right now, it had been almost 100 minutes since the first Sun and Moon Person entered the “near-death” state…
