What exactly is the world of Pokémon like? What are the differences? What effects will it have on me? How can I make the best use of this world and maximize its potential? These are the main issues Liu Siyi is now considering.

Since the last attempt to open a lightning spatial passage to the Pokémon world failed, he has already advanced two levels, significantly enhancing his strength. If the mental power from the last attempt was 100, the two-level advancement has increased it by 30%, bringing it to 169, more than half the original amount. The last attempt was almost successful, so this time it should be.

It is precisely because of this increase in strength that Liu Siyi suddenly has a strong desire to enter the Pokémon world. He doesn't know where this desire comes from, but his mind is now entirely focused on it.

Some say that a good name can determine a person's life. This might be a bit too absolute, but it does have some truth. The name Liu Siyi means that only through thinking can things become easier.

Therefore, Liu Siyi's personality is very steady, and he has almost never acted impulsively without thinking. This time is no exception. Even though he is very eager to do this, he will still think it through before acting.

His current strength should be enough to connect the two worlds, but he will not be the first to enter. The question remains: how will he get out once he goes in? Therefore, someone must go in to scout, like the Lightning Elemental Lord, and set a coordinate. The next time he opens the lightning spatial passage, it will be at this coordinate's approximate location.

Choosing who to send in to scout is a matter of careful consideration.

From the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, the Pokémon world cannot be sensed. He must return to the real world to enter other worlds, a problem he only discovered after having this desire. Therefore, selecting a highly loyal subordinate is the first choice.

His subordinates can be divided into three categories: heroes, surrendered units, and recruited units.

The heroes are mainly goblins. Apart from the old Baoer and Robert, who surrendered from the orc castle, the other goblins are very loyal to him, especially Falen. From the way Falen looks at him, it's clear that Falen has a fanatical loyalty to him. Unfortunately, Falen doesn't have the high-level intelligence like Qiuqiu, or Liu Siyi would have considered having Falen maintain the lightning spatial passage while he goes in to take a look. With their current strength, it's impossible to open the lightning spatial passage.

As for heroes like Wolfs, Nani, and the surrendered units, mainly the Lightning Eagle Bird, the Minotaur Bill, and Lya and Lina, these units may be very loyal to him, but they still need to be observed for some time.

For the recruited units, with the hero Gold, he doesn't need to recruit them personally, but as long as he is present, it's almost the same as recruiting them himself.

In general, the loyalty of personally recruited units is the highest, and their loyalty should be even higher after being cultivated into heroes. However, becoming a hero means having independent thoughts, which might cause some issues. Therefore, he might choose one or two from the goblins, while the units have fewer problems.

"Call Mantid, Kazzak, and Bird to my room," Liu Siyi said, opening the door to the servant waiting outside.

He finally decided on his targets. Although they have only been together for a few days, the situation demands that he establish his core team as soon as possible. Besides, the units in this world, due to the limitations of the laws, know a lot but are inexperienced in human affairs. As long as he does his part, his subordinates will not betray him.

"Yes, Lord City," the servant, a fox, quickly left after speaking.

Soon, the three elites arrived at Liu Siyi's room.

The spacious room was immediately made to feel much smaller by the presence of two ten-meter-long mantises and a five-meter-tall lightning eagle.

Liu Siyi faced them, and although it seemed like he was looking at them, his deep gaze indicated that he was thinking about something else.

Mantid, Kazzak, and Bird looked at each other, not understanding why Liu Siyi had called them. Mantises are patient and usually silent, so they didn't feel uncomfortable. Bird, being very steady, was also quiet despite his curiosity, making the atmosphere silent.

"What do you think of this world?" Liu Siyi finally asked after a while.

Hearing this question, the three felt a bit puzzled because they had never thought about it.

"Master, we know some information about this world from the moment we were born," Bird, the most steady, said after a moment of thought. "This world has existed for an unknown time, but it is known to be extremely vast, with many planes and countless races. Those with close relationships form large alliances and are constantly at war."

Extremely vast? How vast exactly? Liu Siyi was particularly interested in this because he was not naturally born in this world. Although he has been recognized by the laws and became a unit, he still doesn't know this information.

"I mean, what do you think of this world?" Liu Siyi asked again.

"Master, everything in this world is determined by the laws, and we have no opinion on it," Mantid said.

"En, I understand," Liu Siyi nodded.

Indeed, constrained by the laws, the units have adapted to this world and are accustomed to this way of life. This is similar to the real world, where without a liberation of thought, how many people would think of simple problems that could be solved with a different perspective?

"Have you ever thought that there might be other worlds beyond this one, with different laws?" Liu Siyi began to guide them.

"Master, are you talking about other planes?" Kazzak asked.

"No, the Lightning Elementals live in the Lightning Elemental Plane, and the Firebirds live in the Fire Elemental Plane, but these planes are still part of this world. I'm talking about other worlds, which might be stronger, weaker, or have completely different development directions than our world."

"Master, why do you say that?" Bird asked.

"I believe each of you wants to become stronger, become heroes, then reach the Sacred Domain, Legendary, or even become deities. But do you think deities are the most powerful?"

The highest level in this world is the tenth-rank deity. I don't know if there are any beyond the tenth rank, but that's not something we can currently reach. However, in some worlds, the tenth rank is just the lowest level.

I know you won't believe me now, but I can assure you that if you follow me, not only reaching the tenth-rank deity, but even mastering this world is not a problem.

Liu Siyi looked at his three subordinates, who, though very skeptical, remained composed and did not ask questions, which he found satisfactory.

"I'm not just talking for fun. You are my most trusted subordinates, and there are some tasks I need you to complete. I will gradually let you know more," Liu Siyi's tone turned serious. "But you must remember, everything you will see is a major secret. Under no circumstances and for no reason should you reveal it. Understand?"

He knew it was a bit hasty to take these subordinates out now, but he was confident that as long as he did his part, they wouldn't rebel. Moreover, this is the early stage of development, the fastest period of growth. Being overly suspicious would be counterproductive. It's better to trust his subordinates and give them tangible benefits or promises, which would better win their loyalty.

"Master, since the day I followed you, I knew you were extraordinary. I, Lightning Eagle Bird, swear by the laws of this world that from now on, I will follow your every command," Bird swore without hesitation, proving his loyalty.

"Master, I, Mantid Kazzak, swear by the laws of this world that from now on, I will follow your every command."

After the oath, Bird, Mantid, and Kazzak looked at their master with shining eyes, believing his words and excited about the possibility of becoming even more powerful than a tenth-rank deity.

"En, wait here. I will find a suitable location and summon you there. When you see the lightning spatial passage, just enter it," Liu Siyi said, then waved his hand to open a lightning spatial passage and entered it, disappearing from their sight.

The Lightning Eagle and the two mantises looked at each other, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes. The thought of becoming more powerful than a tenth-rank deity was exhilarating.
