This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 103 I Will Light Up for You
Are there enemies? Kill them!

Have questions? Ask!
Have information? Tell us!
Having trouble? Help!

Natural evolution gave humans mouths, which provided them with the option of communication, and humans grew hands to achieve their goals!
Especially, give the enemy a fucking punch!
I can seek help for the matter of Administrator No. 2, but why can't I seek help for returning to the sect?
What nonsense are you talking about - when facing a large number of enemies, we have to mobilize the whole group to fight!
"The Return Sect is a cult, there's no doubt about that. Their behavior is consistent with every cult you can think of, because their own action plans are based on those cults..."

"Dukongmo... this part of the information, those with mental power below 30 points will be notified.

"The name of the Sky-Drifters is 'Torienga'. In their language... never mind, that's over 50 points of information. In short, the Sky-Drifters come from outside the New World. They are a highly developed civilization, but their primary racial image, life form, and social culture fit every 'demon' label you can imagine..."

"The conflict between the Sky-Dubbing Demon and the previous civilization has a long history..."

"The Skywalker is very interested in the cities and refuges of former civilizations..."

"The main material of the Sky Crossing Demon's beacon is..."

"The Sky-Dumb Demons need human souls because they are a pure source of spiritual essence... The spiritual essence that has been demonized is one of their energy sources. Of course, it is only one of them. They are not yet capable of using spiritual essence as their primary energy source."

"The Return Sect will do whatever it takes to satisfy the Dukong Demon's demands, because they worship the Dukong Demon as a 'god'... I don't know what the Sun Lord and Moon Lord think, but ordinary believers do."

"The Dream Flower of the Return Sect is actually a poppy that has been blessed with the Transitional Void Magic. It is even more addictive and will destroy the soul. It will use demonic spiritual essence to erode the soul of the user, gradually transforming them into demonized beings. The soul of the demonized person is incomplete, and they survive by eating souls..."

"The Demonized Ones and the Sky-crossing Demons are fighting for resources? No, they're just collecting them." Nie Weiyang said, recalling some of the scenes he had witnessed in his previous life. His already furrowed brows furrowed even more, with a hint of disgust on his face: "...The souls of the Demonized Ones will gradually be filled with the souls they eat, but they will not merge, they will just parasitize each other.

"Until the gap in the soul is filled, the pain and appetite will never end. Until a certain moment, the Skywalker will think they are ripe and pick them for other uses.

"Not many demonized beings can reach this stage, so this 'bunch of grapes' soul is generally not eaten directly."

The Dukongmo, or at least the Returning Sect, calls different kinds of souls using different fruit names.

The souls of ordinary people are "grapes," the immature souls of demonized beings are "lychees," the aggregated souls of multiple souls are "grape bunches," and the souls processed by magic are "apples"...

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and saw the solemnity on others' faces.

This is no longer a matter of competing for survival resources and means of production; this is about treating all human beings as resources!
"In that case, that sect..." someone muttered to himself, as if wanting to ask, 'How come so many people joined?' - but he stopped.

Because everyone knows that for those who are trying to survive in desperate situations, everything they say now is about the future, and the imminent death is the present.

If a person can't even afford to eat, how can he have the time to think about whether it's a cult or not? Those who feed him porridge before he starves to death are all good people.

"...Alas." Someone in the room sighed.

The atmosphere was dull for a moment, but soon all these emotions were gathered together and put into a corner where they would not affect thinking and fighting.

"Now, I suspect that the Return Sect is related to humans traveling here. Even if there is no direct connection, there must be an indirect connection."

Nie Weiyang directly exposed the past of the Return Sect. Everyone suddenly became alert, their eyes filled with murderous intent. Nie Weiyang spread his hands and said, "The Sky-crossing Demon can transcend time and space... This is also a kind of time travel."

The crowd did not panic, but after a moment of silence, they asked, "So, where is the headquarters of the Return Sect you mentioned?"

Nie Weiyang pulled out a brush and deftly carved the outline of a map of Zhongzhou on the table, then poked a small hole at one of the edges. "The Bone Sacrifice Court of Zhongzhou is right here," he said. "You investigate, plan, and deduce; I'll handle the pursuit and the killing. We'll work together."

Liang Zhenduan touched his chin.

"You insisted on clearing out the Zhongzhou Bone Sacrifice Hall first... You think we can't go back. Is that right?" he suddenly asked.

This question aroused the attention of many people. Under the gazes from all directions, Nie Weiyang was silent for a moment and replied: "...at least not now."

"Returning to the sect, Crossing the Sky Demon... I don't think Zhongzhou is special enough to warrant such a strong force's attention." Liang Zhenduan said slowly, "After all, it's very different from Yuzhou, right? So, what's hidden here?"

Nie Weiyang pointed his finger at the center of the map, a place not far from the ancient city.

"Server," he said. "One of this planet's internet servers, a creation of a previous civilization. It's... not a 'server' as you know it, but it has similar functions."

In the previous life, the planet’s Internet was not restored until five years after the apocalypse.

For visitors from Earth, it was five years and four months since we left the Internet. But according to the records of the Internet servers here, the last time they were working was an unknown number of years ago.

"internet……"

A familiar name, but an unfamiliar meaning.

No, it has a familiar yet unfamiliar meaning.

By some unknown coincidence, or perhaps simply the inevitability of Homo sapiens thinking, the name "Internet" links the two Homo sapiens races. It is like a strange rope, one end of which is a relic of a previous civilization, and the other end is the greatest creation in the history of mankind on Earth.

In this strange yet familiar world, something great once occurred. It once appeared in people's imaginations, born and destroyed in every hypothesis and dream. It was a hypothesis, a hypothesis of interconnectedness. Now, when the previous civilization has disappeared and the world has become so strange, another group of humans hears a familiar name and smells a familiar scent.

A familiar throbbing spread in my heart.

In the last life, the New World Internet was a new hope for mankind. It brought new functions, new communications, new possibilities and imagination of the beauty of the future. People once again went through the mental journey when they first heard the word "Internet". It was like the second explosion of the nuclear bomb. People breathed in the radioactive dust for the second time and accepted the changes brought about by cesium 137 for the second time.

But just two years later, an incident in the seventh year caused it to collapse again. Since then, darkness and estrangement have driven people further and further apart.

Now, Nie Weiyang wants to know——

If the Internet is achieved ahead of time, what path will the future of mankind take?
"Let's restart the server," Nie Weiyang said. "At least... first, understand the internet technology of the previous civilization?"

He pulled a small drone from his backpack.

Facing everyone's fixed gazes, Nie Weiyang extended his hand and introduced, "I found this in a city. It's a relic of a previous civilization. Are you interested?"

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and a few of them slowly stood up, then rushed out with lightning speed!

"What we can do!" "What we can do!" "Let go first!!"
