Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 25, Morality Value: Anger Value

Is the West really that poor that even Jieyin and Zhunti want to collect the corpses of ferocious beasts?

"No, ferocious beasts live in packs. If they smell the blood of their companions, they'll come for revenge!" Hongyun firmly disagreed.

The four of them are now too weak to fight any more. If another wave of ferocious beasts comes, they will have no choice but to stay in the protective circle of the Earth Book and hide.

The ferocious beasts were formed from the resentment of the Chaos God, and their purpose was to destroy the world. The Earth Book, formed from the primordial earth membrane, might not be able to stop them for long.

Zhen Yuanzi naturally agreed with Hongyun's words. Ignoring Jieyin and Zhunti's reluctant cries, he directly cast a spell with his sleeve, burning all the corpses piled up like a mountain.

Jieyin and Zhunti, whose magical powers were inferior to Zhen Yuanzi and who was also the most seriously injured, did not dare to put out the fire at all. Instead, they collapsed to the ground once again, lamenting and crying.

Hongyun, heartbroken from crying, pointed at Jieyin and Zhunti and shouted, "What are you crying for? If you cry this and bring the ferocious beast here, you two will be dead!"

Jieyin and Zhunti immediately shut their mouths, not uttering a sound. They were still terrified of the ferocious beast. If it weren't for Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book, all four of them would have perished here today.

If they were to leave the territory of Wuzhuang Temple, they might encounter ferocious beasts and become their prey. So it's better to stay in Wuzhuang Temple.

The two exchanged a glance, quickly made a decision, and stood up, saying, "Then we'll head back to clear the weeds; there are quite a few weeds growing around the ginseng fruit tree!"

Zhen Yuanzi thought they would leave Wuzhuang Temple directly after breaking the seal. After all, being bullied and forced to do hard labor by Hongyun in Wuzhuang Temple was something no person with any backbone could endure.

Moreover, Wuzhuang Temple is likely to be attacked by ferocious beasts again. If the two of them stay, they will only be implicated. They will fight desperately to kill the ferocious beasts to protect themselves, just like today.

Finally, he could only say helplessly, "Don't make them work anymore; after all, they helped us today."

Hongyun couldn't afford to do that. The important thing now was to increase his strength. Only with sufficient strength could he deal with the next attack of the ferocious beasts. And the fastest way to increase strength was through the system shop. Where else could he find rage points if he didn't get them from Jieyin and Zhunti?

"They're helping themselves! The barrier has forced them to their deaths, so they might as well just wait to die! When I went in to look for them just now, they were in the backyard listening to the sounds outside, hoping we'd be eaten by those ferocious beasts!" Hongyun complained angrily.

Those two are despicable people, utterly unworthy of sympathy. They might fight side-by-side today, but tomorrow they could stab you in the back. They can't be treated like ordinary people; they have no sense of morality whatsoever.

Zhen Yuanzi was unwilling to cause trouble in the first place, and since Hongyun insisted, he decisively stopped caring and let Hongyun do whatever she wanted, without even bothering to argue.

He helped Hongyun back to Wuzhuang Temple and escorted her to her room. He reinforced the barrier once more, then returned to his room to cultivate.

This victory was hard-won; there was little they could do to prepare except for diligent training. Everyone was deeply saddened, pushing themselves to the limit, for every bit of strength they gained brought them a glimmer of hope.

[Ding! Host has gained 10,000 points of immorality. Would you like to exchange them for anger points?]

Just as Hongyun was lying on the step and about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the system notification sound and instantly became alert, jumping up and down: "What is 'morality value'?"

[Ding! Anger points are the emotions others feel towards the host, while immorality points are what the system determines the host has done to be immoral. Immorality points can be exchanged for anger points at a 1:10 ratio, which can be used in the system shop. We hope the host will continue their efforts.]
