As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

"You can let me know when you make a decision."

After finishing breakfast, Kagura suddenly remembered something, stood up and said to Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was perking up her ears on the sofa, "Shizuka, I need to go out for a bit."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was curled up on the sofa reading a comic book, but she didn't notice that she was holding the book upside down. Upon hearing this, she immediately asked, "Is it coming back?"

"I'll be back tonight. There are some fried pork chops in the fridge. You can make pork chop rice for lunch. Don't always eat ramen." He said a few words and went out with Xinyang.

Endo Residence.

Tendou Kagura and Shinyo appeared at the doorstep.

The latter was no stranger to this place. Kagura Tendo pushed open the door and said to him, "The reason I woke you up, while I had my own selfish reasons, was more because I hoped you could have a new life..."

Just like the name Xinyang.

He spoke softly; there was no need to lie about these things.

Yotsuya Miko lacks Shangyang's abilities and cannot be expected to become the leader of the human race. Xinyang is a better choice, and it is a good thing that he can start a new life here.

He had great respect for the resistance leader and felt that his health should not remain dormant.

But now I realize that he was just being presumptuous and arbitrarily arranged his fate.

Initially, he believed that Xinyang would not reject this world, but would integrate into it, becoming the one who stands at the pinnacle of humanity, ruling over all humans in this world, and that all those with great supernatural powers would have to obey his orders.

Unexpectedly, he guessed correctly, but not entirely.

Xin Yang did not reject it, but he also did not integrate into it, and he did not even feel any emotional fluctuation towards this world.

Xin Yang could naturally guess why Tiandao Shenle had awakened him.

The ruler of the Human Union once came to him. Strictly speaking, all of humanity's thoughts and ideas are transparent to him, and he can even trace them back to their memories from the moment they were born.

He was already aware of the precarious state of humanity.

The two entered the house, and Tendou Kagura and Shinyo walked through the living room and corridor, finally arriving at the door of the dark and inconspicuous basement.

The door clicked open, and they came in.

This place contains some items that Tendou Kagura brought back from the second node.

Kagura Tendou picked up the enormous briefcase, opened it, and revealed a dense array of data cards inside. He said, "This contains information about the civilization's legacy from that world."

For the entire civilization, it is but a drop in the ocean, but for an individual, the content is immense, and an ordinary person could not read it all in a lifetime.

On the wooden table in the basement were three items: a briefcase representing human civilization, a flag representing the resistance, and the Tears of Lamentation, the tears shed by Shang Yang as a vengeful spirit facing a ruined world.

Shangyang became the will of humanity, but in the end chose to burn himself to ashes, perishing together with his two true companions, leaving behind that spiritual treasure.

The Tears of Lamentation were found next to the Spiritual Treasure. In the face of the blazing spiritual flames, even the spiritual bodies of the true companions were refined to an extremely pure state, and all their distracting thoughts were burned away without any power to resist. The three merged into one, forming a spiritual crystal.

Strictly speaking, nothing can withstand the fire of the spirit, but this tear remained unharmed, which surprised him for a long time.

Finally, he concluded that perhaps the human will wanted to leave something behind before it died...

He originally thought Xinyang would take all three items with him, but unexpectedly, he left two behind and left without even glancing at them.

The resistance was personally organized by Shang Yang, and its flag embodies the will of the resistance fighters when they swore their oath. Moreover, the inheritance of human civilization was something Dong Lan sought him out of everything, which is of paramount importance...

"Do you want to see it?" Tendou Kagura asked Shinyo.

Xin Yang was looking at the flag when he heard this and nodded.

The two entered the living room. Tendou Kagura redeemed the second node's technological items from the system. He selected the first data card, inserted it, and without any further action, the screen immediately flashed with images and began playing content.

Kagura was somewhat surprised, because it was a silent film.

It is very short, with a total length of nearly an hour.

This is a gray-toned film, similar to a black and white film, with very low recognizability, a primitive style, no sound, a silent film, with only shadowy figures moving, and a simple setting, as if it was filmed many years ago.

Rough, simple, and straightforward.

The actors in the film have no lines, subtitles, or narration; they rely entirely on facial expressions to convey their inner emotions and use actions to advance the plot. Surprisingly, the story is not obscure but very direct, presented in the most straightforward way.

However, the simple scenes are very meaningful and have extremely high artistic value. At the same time, even seven or eight-year-old children can understand what the story is about, and can even resonate with the characters' emotions without knowing the background.

After watching for a while, Tendo Kagura was immediately captivated.

This is a story about revenge.

A vast empire, due to the greed of its leaders, affected countless people. Coupled with natural disasters and calamities, the lower classes suffered harsh conditions and bore all the burdens.

Tyrants are insatiable and wield immense power; they are arguably the highest-ranking people.

At that time, a man of low social standing lost his beloved, went through despair and madness, endured everything, and finally seized the opportunity to resolutely wield the blade and cut off the culprit's head.

A once powerful empire was quickly destroyed.

But the core of this story is not some grand righteous cause, nor is it about feeling class oppression.

This film tells only a story of revenge, one person's revenge on another, nothing more, and that is the most just truth.

It expresses the idea that even a humble mortal, after losing everything, can still roar and declare war on a behemoth, even if the target of revenge doesn't even glance at him, even if he is shattered to pieces and there is no good ending, but even if it means burning his life, he should still choose this path.

It wasn't about enjoying the exhilaration of revenge, but rather using this action as a form of retaliation against an absurd fate.

As Shang Yang said, it was a very simple and unpretentious statement.

Whoever makes me sad, I will kill.

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if I fail, may I be punished by the wrath of Fengdu. Chapter 86: I merely failed to clear the level.

After the silent film ended, a few more lines of subtitles and narration appeared on the screen.

The gist is that this is a documentary film shot many years ago, which basically restores a scene from history. Although it was filmed a long time ago, it is so classic that even though the filming concepts of later generations have been reformed, they still cannot surpass this work. Therefore, after consideration, it was chosen as the opening.

But this data card can't contain just this one movie; there's much more content to come.

But in the end, all that remained of civilization were these things, and later generations could only reconstruct the spiritual appearance and social operation of that world from these materials.

All living beings, dead beings, all stars, all matter, ultimately solidified in chaos.

"Do you have anything to say?" Tendou Kagura looked at Shinyo.

"I was deeply moved." Xin Yang uttered four words, his face tense and serious, one hand pressed against his heart, a strange emotion brewing within him after watching the film.

His body comes from the second node, and his subconscious is also shaped by the Radiant Crystal, and he is currently experiencing emotional resonance.

This characteristic of civilization subtly influences everyone within it, much like a person with amnesia returning to their homeland and experiencing a sense of déjà vu.

"I'll leave this to you for safekeeping." Kagura Tendo closed the suitcase and the player together, and pushed them to Shinyo.

He deserves it more than anyone else.

But to Tendou Kagura's surprise, Shinyo did not choose to take over.

"Just leave it here for now," he said calmly.

Tendou Kagura exclaimed in surprise, "Don't you value your own civilization?" In his view, Xin Yang was even willing to return to the lost second node, so it was impossible for him to refuse this thing.

It's quite reasonable for Xinyang to spread it so widely; it can be seen as a form of indirect continuation of civilization.

The only unreasonable thing is that Xinyang remained unmoved.

“No, I value it very much…” Shin-yang seemed a little lost in thought, then suddenly said to Tendo Kagura, “Can you tell me about the first owner of this body?”

Tendou Kagura looked at him for a moment, confirming that he really didn't care much about the inheritance of his civilization, and said, "His name is Shang Yang, the leader of the resistance army, the uncrowned king of the human race. Now, you have inherited his body, and in this world, only you can communicate with me as an equal."

This is a treatment even God doesn't receive.

"The second node. Corrupted by the eternal darkness, the whole world was plunged into darkness. He stepped forward and chose to become the sun for mankind. He and the prophet led mankind forward."

Xin Yang seemed to sense something, recalling his own spiritual characteristics, which were indeed dazzling.

"He was later assassinated by the followers of the Outer Gods. But he reappeared at the time of the world's destruction, but he was no longer a pure Shangyang, but a vengeful spirit, a composite of humanity..."

"And what about you?" Shin-yang wanted to know what role Tendo Kagura played.

Tendou Kagura was silent for a moment, then said, "I am the savior, and I accepted the mission to save the world and head to the second node, but by then it was too late. I cooperated with the prophet, Shangyang, and Chifeng to kill all the outer gods' followers..."

Xin Yang suddenly asked, "Is that all there is to it?"

"Yes, I inherited Shangyang's position and became the king, but because it was too hasty, I did not unleash the true power of a king. I did consider letting him take over my body."

This time it was Xin Yang's turn to be surprised: "That's not what I meant. Is that the reason you went to such lengths?"

"...I chose this path, and I should see it through to the end." Kagura Tendou's expression was gloomy. For some time now, he had been having doubts in his heart, and now when he said these words, he was not as firm as he had been at the beginning.

He was tired. He had walked through loneliness and desolation, and finally collapsed on the boundless plain. But when he looked around, he did not reach the destination he wanted. There was only dry, hard earth, no streams, and no flowers or green grass.

Xin Yang's eyes looked a little strange: "What's your view on humans?"

"From the perspective of a savior, humanity is the people of the world." Life groups born within the world form civilizations, but as they develop to a certain point, some information will flow out of the world, attracting the covetousness of outer gods. This is also like a kind of world rule mechanism, the mysterious rules of the outer gods, which are a kind of complement to the world.

A mysterious path emerged in a world devoid of supernatural powers due to the encroachment of Outer Gods.

In fact, the information left by the prophet also explains that other worlds have also been afflicted by Outer Gods, but there was only one Invader. It is already very rare for two Outer Gods to invade a world at the same time, so they can fight a tug-of-war, delay the time, and wait for the world's rules to advance.

The second node represents the power of three Outer Gods, while the real world has five Outer Gods, which is very strange and chilling.

In the eyes of Kagura Tendou, only humans are considered citizens of the world; the gods of the spirit world are not included, because the gods are also born from humans.

"May I say a few words?"

Tendou Kagura nodded. Although the new Yang Gang had only been around for a short time, a blank memory did not equate to a blank understanding.

Xin Yang glanced at the suitcase and said, "The inheritance of civilization is not the same as civilization itself."

The Heavenly Way God Music remained silent, understanding Xin Yang's statement, which contradicted Dong Lan's philosophy.

Give civilization to the years, not the years to civilization.

Donglan believes that the civilization created by humanity as a whole is more important than people living in the present, so she is considered an outlier in Chifeng.

And what about Xinyang?

He only cared about civilization itself, believing that humanity was civilization. He thought that once humanity died, even if civilization and knowledge took root in new places, the people who made up that civilization would never return.

Therefore, he had little interest in it, and even if he felt emotionally connected, he was only reminiscing about that group of people.

The Heavenly Way remains silent; this is a clash of ideologies. He offers no comment.

"Shangyang probably thinks the same way. I heard about his ending from what you said; was it voluntary?"

"Yes." That's without a doubt.
