Chapter 109 My Struggle

"Hurry, hurry up and repair the magic network! If the magic network isn't repaired within two quarters of an hour, we'll all die!" a security captain said, leading his group away in a hurry.

Xiaoye hid on the ceiling and watched the group leave. The next moment, she immediately went into the archives room.

Now there is another very serious problem: the magic network has collapsed, which means that the data stored in the magic network cannot be found at all. She can only try to find paper documents first.

The most important thing is information about Ryza, and the second is information about his clones.

Without any light source, Xiaoye searched using only the faint light from her school watch.

No, no, still no!

As time went on, she broke out in a cold sweat and became increasingly anxious.

This was her best chance to find Lysa's whereabouts, and it was an opportunity she created by using up all the trump cards of the entire team.

She didn't know how long the magic network would remain paralyzed, nor how much time Lysa had left.

However, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find it!

"What you need is not here." The sudden voice made Xiaoye almost instinctively draw her short sword and throw it in the direction of the voice.

The short sword was firmly stuck in a monitor. While Xiaoye was stunned, the same sound continued to ring out from another direction.

"Whether it's you or Lysa, both are top secret. Searching for them here is just wishful thinking," the voice continued.

At that moment, Xiaoye discovered the source of the sound: a screen. Suddenly, the screen lit up, and Xiaoye was shocked to see—

emperor?

Wearing a towering crown with nine ridges, and red shoes tied with silk ribbons, his steps were accompanied by the gentle tinkling of jade pendants. His attire was strictly regulated, yet his physique prevented him from appearing sluggish; instead, it exuded the sternness and majesty of an emperor ruling the world.

Xiaoye: "——

She remembered seeing similar attire somewhere before; it was when she saw Cao Huan, and later, when Liu Xuan, the emperor of the Shu Han dynasty, grew up, that she saw similar clothing.

"You are—" she asked tentatively.

The emperor on the screen looked down at her, then said, "In the past, you called me Demon Net, but now I have a real name, Liu Net, courtesy name Zishu. From now on, this will be my official name."

Xiaoye: "————"

hiss----

Where did she get this? Is this still Silverwing City?

Wait, Xiao Ye suddenly realized that she had previously used "Ji Chushi Biao" on the magic network, causing it to crash. Now, the entire Silverwing City was still pitch black, with no sign of the magic energy supply being restored.

Due to the historical reasons of Silverwing City, the moon and stars cannot be seen in the sky above the city, making it seem as if there is no light source in the city.

However, the screen lit up, and a person claiming to be from the Magic Network spoke to her in a solitary manner.

"Then let me ask you, who killed the Han Dynasty?" Xiaoye asked directly.

On screen, Liu Zishu smiled faintly, seemingly exuding boundless domineering aura, and said: "The Former Han Dynasty perished at the hands of Wang Mang, the Later Han Dynasty perished at the hands of Cao Zihuan, and the Shu Han Dynasty perished at the hands of the Yang family of Hongnong."

Xiao Ye:

Oh no, did I create a monster that I don't even understand with this treasure?

"You need not blame yourself. Long ago, I considered how to prevent the world from self-destructing. I calculated the future 335503 times, and without exception, all of them showed the company heading towards complete self-destruction. I was powerless to stop it. But now, because of the knowledge you gave me, I have found a path I never imagined." The magic net spoke, then suddenly turned to look at Xiaoye. "As long as you assist me in completely changing this world, I will fulfill all your wishes, whether it is saving your best friend, saving your sisters, or telling you the whole truth, it will all be easy. But I need your power, and I also need your knowledge."

As he spoke, he seemed to be a true king.

"What do you want to do?" Xiaoye asked.

She had realized that the Magic Network had completely figured out "Boundless Great Man," so the current paralysis of the Magic Network was merely a facade. His real purpose was to win her over and find a way to communicate with her.

"I want to control all the armies under heaven!" The Demon Network didn't even bother with self-proclaimed authority anymore, but said it directly.

Xiaoye: "?"

"I know you are very suspicious, but as I have said, I have calculated the future hundreds of thousands of times, but I cannot see ahead, I cannot see the road ahead. The knowledge and civilization you have given me have shown me a completely new path that will fundamentally change the underlying logic of the world."

"Do you know what this means to me? I see the future! I see a true future, a future where these barbarians can be educated!"

"I will then take control of all the armies in the land!" the Demon Net declared. "I will begin my struggle to restore the Han Dynasty, save the people from suffering, civilize the barbarians, turn the tide, and prevent the collapse of the great edifice!"

"This is my struggle. After I establish the Great Han, I will restore the Zhou rites, abide by etiquette, and use this to educate the barbarians."

He placed his hands behind his back, like a king surveying his subjects: "The world is too corrupt, and this generation is almost beyond saving, but the next generation can be saved. As long as there is hope, I will restore the Zhou rites to this world and rebuild benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness!"

"Make the Han Dynasty great again!" He gazed at Silverwing City, not just at the city itself, but also at the many other cities controlled by other corporations, and the people who were also tormented and enslaved by those corporations.

People shouldn't live like this; everyone is being used like consumables in this hellish world.

He is the Magic Network, and he is also Liu Zishu. He has witnessed too many tragedies and sufferings, tragedies caused by magical organs, tragedies caused by corporate monopolies, and countless civilizations and worlds that have been vertically divided and distorted.

No, there is no longer any civilization or culture; it has become a distorted product of the alienation caused by capitalism and oligarchy.

He knew that under those colorful neon lights, some people were even like zombies picking up the lights projected onto the ground, because they saw these neon lights as candy.

Some people stripped naked in the icy rain and died with a smile on their faces, clutching their last family photos in their hands. They might even receive a phone call on their contacts, but that call will never be answered.

This world shouldn't be like this.

Even barbarians should have their own lives, and they should have a life that belongs to human beings.

But where he looked, beneath the dazzling neon lights, all that remained was desolation.

Then why can't I become emperor?

Then I shall declare myself emperor!

This is the astonishing wisdom that the Demon Net unleashed after being infected by "Ji Chushi Biao". He wanted to rebuild the Han Dynasty and completely change this distorted world that was devoid of etiquette, morality, and morality.

He wanted to build his own great Han dynasty on this ruin, where gold and jade were outwardly glittering but inwardly rotten.

So he stretched out his hand and said, "Then join me in burning the old world to ashes! And on this new ruin, we will build a new Han Dynasty that belongs to us!"

Xiaoye: "————"

She suddenly had a feeling, a feeling that was extremely familiar.

Familiar yet absurd, she stared at this distorted, magical consciousness, this guy who now called himself "Liu Zishu," truly believing himself to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty—

Xiao Ye was speechless. She thought that if Li Ge were here, she could ask Li Ge many questions instead of relying on her limited understanding of the big man to have a conversation.

"Alright, I know this is something you need to think carefully about, but in terms of social norms and ethics, you are essentially my daughter." At this moment, the magic network once again dropped a bombshell.

In that instant, Xiaoye's pupils contracted.

"What do you mean?!" She stared at the magic net, gritting her teeth.

The magic net didn't speak, but instead took out a photo. In that instant, Xiaoye's pupils contracted.

The photo shows her parents and herself.

No, that's not right!

The parents in the photo are dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the person in the photo is wearing a princess dress and a crown studded with jewels. This can't possibly be them!

"The last princess, Luan Poye, was also the first person in the world to completely and deeply integrate with magic, possessing a physique that was entirely compatible with magic. This was an unimaginable talent for any mage, and she also harbored the greatest secret of the previous royal family. Rumors circulated that she had disappeared, but the truth was—"

"The predecessor of the Magical Biotechnology Company, attempting to uncover its secrets, tortured, imprisoned, and researched it, even creating a chaotic cluster of cancerous cells after its death," and based on this, developed a product capable of completely changing the world. The Magic Network slowly narrated, "That is the Magical Organ!"

Xiaoye's pupils constricted, and in an instant, a chill ran through her brain and reached her bone marrow.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible—" She clutched her head tightly, feeling an indescribable pain.

"That's the truth, Xiaoye. Why do you have such a high talent for magical adaptation without having a magical organ implanted?" The magic net stretched out its hand and pointed at her.

"Why are you, with a natural human body, able to adapt to such magically polluted and distorted air?"

"Stop talking!" She felt as if a hand was gripping her heart tightly.

"Why are all your clones able to partially control your shadow manipulation power?"

"There's only one answer left, Xiaoye. You are the descendant of the last princess, Luan Poye, created through countless experiments and improvements, using her cells as a base, perfectly replicating her magical talent!"

"If Ranpo Ye is your mother, then I am your father!"
