I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 421: Eternal Parliament, World Restarts

In the center of Shangcheng District stands a tall building that is completely black.

Looking up from below, the tall buildings rising from the ground are like a sharp blade piercing the sky, with the top floors reaching into the clouds, making it difficult to see clearly.

Its height seemed to have surpassed the clouds, and it was like a god sitting high in the sky, quietly looking down at this chaotic world.

No one knows how many years this building has been here.

It seems that this building has been here for as long as anyone can remember.

Zulong Building.

It is the headquarters of Zulong Group, the heart of the entire Coconut Juice City, the crystallization of the latest technology, and the center where all power lines intersect.

Today, the high-level conference room here welcomed several special guests.

In the conference room, eleven people were sitting at the eleven ends of the round table like two sets of nested hexagrams, with only one seat that looked extremely luxurious being left empty.

That is the only main position.

The faces of the eleven people present were so calm and composed, full of indifference towards everything, as if everything in the world was under their control.

From the outside, there seems to be no sign of transformation. They look like ordinary people, but their eyes are indifferent yet filled with a divine glow. They don't seem to have any worldly desires at all.

Those eyes just casually scanned the large amount of information flowing across the screen in front of them, occasionally revealing a faint smile.

If other "big shots" from the upper city of Coconut Juice City were here, they would definitely let out sharp screams of shock when they saw such a harmonious scene, and would not be able to believe what they saw.

Bodie, Grids, Hemermuffin, Taotie, and Excalibur, the heads of the five super groups.

Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming are the directors of the five departments of Zulong Group.

And, the supreme controller of Zulong Company, the only supreme person in this city.

The leaders of all the super companies in the entire city gathered here, sitting in the conference room like members of the same organization, silently discussing and communicating about the information and data in front of them.

On each of the light screens, the headquarters of the Lantern Festival clearly appeared.

As a tall man roared and charged, all the remaining drones began to shoot indiscriminately.

The gunfire and explosions filled the entire screen, instantly submerging the majestic figure.

Not only that, in addition to the fiber optic drone that is shooting, there are many more drones that seem endless and are gathering towards the location in the video.

They are like wolves on the grassland, traveling in groups and will accurately devour every prey that comes into their sight.

The elite among the elite, the king among the kings, the Dragon Claw Team, which had the highest combat power in the entire Coconut Juice City, did not show up at all. The outcome of the battle seemed to have been announced.

"The outcome is set, but our compatriots are still so proud and arrogant, just like we once were."

"This reminds me of my days as a [Player]. Thinking about it now, it's really absurd. I was chosen for no apparent reason, living a life of displacement, and was forced to go to one damn world after another to struggle for survival."

"A transcendent from the mysterious side should cry when he comes to this world, right? Haha, this guy looks like a tough guy. It's a pity that I didn't see the desperate and angry expression on his face when he first arrived here."

"He was able to get in touch with the Lantern Society and the digital ghosts in such a short time. He should be the fastest among all the [players]."

"Don't underestimate him. He's very adaptable. In just a few days he's gained a lot of power and caused a few minor incidents. If left alone, he could be a big problem."

"Maybe, but what's the use? Maybe he was able to fly and call himself the ancestor of a clan in other worlds. But here, he is destined to be a tragedy, just another fool who even tries to recreate the usual combat system."

"That being said, his player level rating should be quite high, so eliminating him may bring great losses. The day of restart is coming soon, and we should add some foundation for the next era."

"The next era. Come to think of it, how many players have already been here? If no one can pass the level perfectly and the fusion level doesn't go down, we will probably have to merge with Blue Planet again soon and become the 'contaminated area' we once dealt with."

"."

As the noisy voices appeared in the conference room, the indifference on the faces of these men and women disappeared.

Excited and distorted expressions appeared on their faces. They moved closer to the screen and stared with wide eyes at the man on the screen who was roaring and his flesh and blood was rolling under the cluster attack of armed drones.

It was like watching a circus monkey.

At this moment, the man sitting opposite the main seat, who was wearing a black imperial robe and had a bright face, suddenly coughed twice in a low voice.

The meeting room, which had seemed a bit noisy, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

This person is a real big shot, the actual supreme controller of Coconut Juice City, the person at the top of the power pyramid.

Head of the Zulong Group and Chairman of the Eternal Parliament, codename: Zulong.

Seeing the tall building in the picture completely collapsed into ruins, the auxiliary drone transmitted the message of "no life signal" back. Zulong spoke in a low voice with the majesty of an emperor:
"The time for frolicking is over. Let's begin the crisis level assessment."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the strange expressions on the faces of the other ten people suddenly disappeared, becoming as serious and solemn as they were at the beginning.

A short-haired woman with many tattoos on her body spoke first: "The target's name is Lu Wenwu. He is suspected to have a canine pet. I had never heard of him when I was on Blue Star. Does anyone have any impression of him?"

Her words were met with unanimous rejection.

Only one old man showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and frowned slightly as he watched the video on the screen.

He felt that he might have seen this person before, but he couldn't quite remember where.

He has existed for a very, very long time since he came into this world, so long that his life has changed from a young man in his early twenties to an octogenarian with a head full of white hair.

Hundreds of years have passed in a flash, and he could have used technological transformation to restore his youthful appearance.

But in order to remind himself that he is a human being and not a truly immortal god, he chose to retain this old face and maintain the same appearance as before undergoing the transformation into immortality.

That was the history he had fought for here.

"Lu Wenwu, I seem to know this person? Where have I seen him before?" The old man was a little distressed and tapped his temple.

Even if the soul is digitally compiled, it is impossible to record all memories in detail.

The memories from hundreds of years ago are too long ago.

"I always feel that he is a mentally ill reckless man. Is it a memory left from the past? Or is it an illusion caused by his performance in battle?" The old man frowned deeper and deeper.

Zulong noticed his expression and asked, "King Dao, do you have any impression of this person?"

The old man called the Sword King shook his head slightly: "There may be some blurry shadows, but it is almost non-existent. Let's continue." This statement was accepted by Zulong.

He nodded slightly, indicating that the evaluation should continue.

The short-haired woman continued, "According to the feedback from the drone at the scene, the target and another player codenamed Banxian have been eliminated together. There are no signs of continued life, and they are suspected to be dead."

"We can't be careless, the other party might bring in some strange props." A burly man said in a muffled voice, "If the other party likes to bring props in, some of them can be effective, and there are also the highest priority forced retreat props that can be unconditionally activated."

This statement was recognized by others present.

As players themselves, they understand the magic of props better than the local natives.

There are eleven people here in total, ten of whom are former players. The situation is far more serious than expected.

A beautiful woman in revealing clothes covered her mouth and chuckled: "In this case, our monitoring strength can remain unchanged for the time being. It will not be too late to confirm that the target is truly dead. I propose to mobilize the life detection team to go to the former site of the Lantern Society to search for the remains."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"."

The woman's proposal was quickly recognized by everyone.

So, with the issuance of an order, a secret force called the Life Detection Team quickly set out from the Bodi Company and headed straight for the ruins of the former site of the Ran Deng Society.

The short-haired woman continued to state the information that she had not finished just now, "In terms of player level assessment, the opponent completed a gang beheading within three days of entering the world, and entered the upper city within ten days, showing the ability to deal with digital ghosts and completing contact with the Lantern Society."

"Combined with the combat capabilities he demonstrated in the video, it is preliminarily determined that he is a mysterious-side extraordinary person with certain technological transformation and manufacturing capabilities. He is able to manufacture high-precision electronic equipment, light energy weapons, and modified prostheses on his own."

"According to the Eternal Council's player level assessment criteria, he is now considered an S-level player, and is suspected to be an S+ top-level player. The overall risk level is assessed to be S. Do you have any objections?"

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"negative."

"negative."

"."

Under the evaluation rules that had been refined through countless tests by the Eternal Council, there were actually objections to the player level estimation that should have been smooth sailing.

And there were quite a few people who opposed it, with five Eternal Councillors raising objections.

What surprised Zulong a little was that these five people included three people who had once caused him great trouble—three people who had once ascended to gods from the mortal world and had touched the bottleneck of ascension.

The middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes slowly leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with this man. When he fights, a kind of red flame substance will emerge from his body. If I am not mistaken, it is the materialized Qi and blood power!"

"Except Zulong, everyone here was once a transcendent. Even if they are not mystical transcendents, they have at least seen pigs run even if they have not eaten pork. The materialization of Qi and blood is a sign of the great success of body refining. It is difficult for A-level players who follow the path of body refining to achieve this."

"So I have reason to suspect that this person was a god in the human world before entering this world, and he was an existence that touched the level of laws. If his past accumulation was deep enough, and he had some special body-refining methods, he could barely cultivate in the Land of Absolute Spirits."

"If you have looked at his and his indigenous follower's spending records, you will find that he has purchased a huge amount of high-end nutritional creams and liquids in the past few days. I don't need to explain what they are used for."

Another person immediately agreed, his face extremely serious: "What the Sword God said is true. The resources required for the early stage of body refining can also be met with ordinary materials. Now he should have initially recovered some strength. I don't believe that a simple armed drone swarm coverage attack can kill such a being."

"On the first day he came to this world, he withstood a miniature nuclear reactor explosion at close range. The next day, he broke into the base camp of the Scavenger Birds gang in the downtown area and killed their leader, the Vultures."

"Besides that, we all know that the stronger your cultivation is before entering this world, the more extraordinary characteristics you can retain, and the higher your growth potential in this world will be."

"So I have reason to suspect that the combat power he has shown now is not only due to a large number of physical transformations and prosthetic transplants, but also due to some of his original extraordinary characteristics."

"Over the years, everyone has known that those so-called skills are not unusable without the system panel. Physical fitness and magical powers cannot be sealed either. They have always belonged to us, but it is a little difficult to release them without the help of the system."

"What you said makes sense."

Zulong nodded slightly.

"In that case, we will temporarily raise the monitoring level to level one. The danger level of this person has been assessed to be - Ascending to the Godhood. The Dragon Scale Squad will take over the defense of the Council before the monitoring level is lowered."

"At the same time, the Dragon Claw Squad will immediately execute the awakening command and carry out the first-level armament. After completion, they will immediately go to the ruins of the former site of the Lantern Festival and cooperate sincerely with the life detection team to immediately start searching for Lu Wenwu and Wang Banxian."

"Yes."

The square-faced man codenamed "Ming" answered in a deep voice.

Zulong nodded slightly: "So, do you have any objections?"

"none."

"none."

"."

Zulong's decision drew a series of approvals from other members of the Eternal Council.

The world is about to restart, and they don't want to cause any more trouble at this critical juncture.

This is a very serious matter, which concerns whether these immortal beings with long life span can still exist in the next era.

Three of the members who had joined the Eternal Council in the last three hundred years suddenly felt their hearts tighten and they had a slight sense of nervousness.

Fear comes from the unknown.

After deciding on how to deal with Lu Wenwu and then discussing and finalizing some other matters, Zulong slowly stood up.

"The world is about to restart, and God's will will come again to formulate new rules for the next era."

A pair of black eyes scanned the entire room, intimidating without even being angry.

"Gentlemen, let us work together and see you in the new era."

"See you in the new era!"
