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

"You can say a few more words." Tendo Kagura valued all information extremely highly.

These contents are not recorded on paper, otherwise there would be consequences of leaks. This is a secret for ordinary people—this should be a rule that existed during the resistance era, but Chi Feng subconsciously continued it.

However, Tendou Kagura is currently unaware of Shang Yang's motives for doing this, and there must be some hidden reasons that he is unaware of.

In the present day, ordinary soldiers at Chifeng Fortress only know very little about the situation. Only those who have entered the mysterious gate know everything, but they are all extremely busy and ignore the outside world.

Chifeng is a unified entity; this statement may not be just a casual remark.

"I am the prophet's disciple, yet I failed to inherit my teacher's power. He dreamt of wandering through various realms, each time experiencing a near-death experience, seeking help only to find everyone preoccupied with their own troubles. We could only watch as he returned disappointed time and time again, during which he would intermittently go mad. In a very short time, he transformed from a vigorous young man into a white-haired old man. Ultimately, he lost himself in a dream, seemingly suffering from some inexplicable calamity, and eventually became a madman with delusions."

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter Seventeen: Sequence Four [Third Update]

The Heavenly Dao God Music was shaken, dreaming of traveling through various realms, which sounded almost like the arrival of a system.

Is the prophet also a host of the system?

He's not the only one?

Although he was shocked and felt that he had found a kindred spirit, he could not accept the prophet's fate. It was hard to imagine what he had gone through, that a young man had degenerated into a mentally ill old man in just a few years. But Kagura Tendou remained calm and asked, "How did he descend to other worlds?"

“It’s hard to say.” Donglan shook his head. “The prophet has extremely strong spirituality. He can sense fragments of information from outside the world and interpret them correctly. In the early stages of chaos, he seemed to have seen a great being and thus gained the power of prophecy, which allows him to project his soul outwards and travel to different worlds.”

A great being?

This is different from Kagura's experience.

"I have only descended to two worlds so far," Kagura Tendou sighed. He still hadn't experienced enough, his knowledge was limited, and many things came from his own speculations, which was why he hoped to communicate with Akabane.

Now, he is not so confused anymore.

The power of humanity in this world all originates from the Outer Gods.

He saw the path to advancement, which might truly require the help of an external god.

Before drowning, humans don't care whether what they're holding onto is a straw or not; they fight with all their might to survive.

"Outer Gods cannot directly enter the interior of the world, so humanity still has hope."

Donglan continued, "The prophet has traveled to many worlds, but most are still in the feudal or primitive era. Even if he were lucky enough to find some modern or future civilizations, he couldn't rely on them unless they involved mysterious forces. Besides, there are some worlds like ours, or those that have already been destroyed..."

Donglan mentioned that the Outer Gods' followers who descended upon their world were quite extraordinary. Even though they formed a resistance army, humanity struggled for less than ten years before facing extinction. The situation was completely one-sided, which is extremely rare.

The prophet observed other worlds that were in the midst of disaster and discovered that some worlds were extremely powerful and were engaged in a tug-of-war with the Outer Gods.

Some worlds are even on the verge of victory, nearly able to drive out the Outer Gods.

While Outer Gods are a calamity, they also present an opportunity for the world, allowing it to complete the rules, raise the limits, and reconstruct the world.

The prophet appealed to those civilizations for help, but it was difficult to establish a perfect channel between realms, especially for worlds targeted by the Outer Gods. If they extended a helping hand, they might invite trouble and be targeted by the Outer Gods themselves. Although those civilizations could win, they were already exhausted to the limit. Another attack would be tantamount to extinction, and they could not withstand a second attack from the Outer Gods.

The prophet did not find reinforcements, but that does not mean he gained nothing.

He found a way to expel the Outer Gods and brought back a great deal of mysterious knowledge that would be of great help to the future of civilization.

Unfortunately, the second node was already beyond repair.

The presence of the Outer Gods' retinue in uninhabited areas signifies a complete loss of control over the world, compressing human space to its limits.

When Tiandao Shenle heard the last part, his expression was moved.

He thought the prophet was really amazing; he had almost compiled a complete set of occult materials for the resistance, just like a learned doctor.

Moreover, it's hard to imagine that such a person was a dissolute, idle street youth before civilization was threatened.

The prophet's origins were truly insignificant.

He became a high-ranking member of the resistance and the only one who could communicate on equal terms with the leader, Shang Yang.

The arrival of the strange creature heralded the end of the world and changed its destiny. A speck of dust in this era became a mountain, and many people rose up to fight for humanity.

Although Chifeng was exercising a reign of terror, his attitude towards him was relatively friendly. At the very least, he was allowed to act freely without any restrictions or targeting. Otherwise, Tendo Kagura would have had to close the second node and start the next mission.

Looking back now, his treatment was inextricably linked to the prophet.

At least they were all people asking for help, but none of them received a response. Chifeng really had no reason to crush the hope of other worlds.

Perhaps the prophet's situation was even worse, wandering alone outside the world, having traveled through countless worlds and experienced countless crises.

"Our understanding of the Outer Gods and the supernatural beings all comes from the Prophet. He resisted madness and stood before us like a majestic mountain, imparting knowledge to us, establishing a complete system, and leading us onto the safest path."

"He kept saying that if the Outer Gods had been kept out of the world from the very beginning, there wouldn't have been no-man's-land..."

"How do we defend against enemies outside the world?" Kagura Tendou suddenly asked.

"The prophet didn't specify the method, but the conditions must be extremely demanding, requiring a sufficiently powerful individual. Shang Yang might have that ability."

Kagura Tendou heard this name many times: the leader of the resistance, the hope and sun of mankind; when he was alive, he was the greatest banner.

“Those great worlds don’t need to defend themselves; it’s pointless. They are already extremely powerful and have gods within them, so the Outer Gods won’t invade such worlds. Otherwise, they would get into trouble, like opening a Pandora’s box.”

“But weak worlds don’t have experts of that level, so even if they know how to defend themselves, it’s useless,” Donglan said.

Her meaning was clear: there were no "ifs." Even during the resistance era, some people harbored this unrealistic delusion, hoping to send Sang-yang back to a point in time before the disaster occurred, perhaps to prevent a global catastrophe.

But the prophet could not find any clues in this regard; there were not many powers related to time, and they were all hidden very deeply.

“You and the Prophet are the same kind of people, so I’m happy to say more, hoping it will help the future of your world.” Donglan sighed. She had a broad perspective; knowing that her side was beyond saving, she hoped that others could be saved. She was the opposite of Chifeng, who was completely indifferent to the Heavenly Dao Kagura.

"We steal the power of the Outer Gods to form a system belonging to humanity, but in reality, this is extremely dangerous for humanity. We need to improve ourselves using the right methods, otherwise we can easily be devoured by the mysterious power, leading to corruption and alienation. If we become powerful enough, we can obtain power comparable to that of the gods..."

This is a phrase the prophet often used. But in fact, these systems were not compiled by him; the prophet did not have that ability. Instead, he painstakingly deciphered fragments of information from the outside world to finally understand their contents. These three systems should have existed long before ancient times.

However, anything that is specifically systemic naturally has extremely complex and numerous contents.

"You mean to say that humanity should use the power of the Outer Gods to fight against the Outer Gods?" Tendou Kagura frowned slightly, feeling that this was somewhat fanciful. He had always been worried that those mysterious powers might have the Outer Gods' hidden hand.

Donglan spoke with conviction: "Don't think that the Outer Gods are invincible. In fact, they are nothing special. We are born inside the world. Even if we are not as powerful as them, we are not people to be slaughtered!"

She directly shattered Tendo Kagura's preconceived notions, her words concealing a deep-seated hatred, and she showed no reverence for the external gods that Tendo Kagura had imagined.

“Sequence 4,” Donglan suddenly said.

"This is the greatest power they can use within the world! Anything beyond this level will be stopped."

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter Eighteen: The King [Fourth Update]

"What's stopping you?"

“The rules of the world!” Donglan said, “We are the children of the world, intelligent life nurtured by the world. This is our home ground, and we are in opposition to the Outer Gods. Those Outer Gods have no right to use their divine power to punish us. Any Outer God that descends into the world will fall from its original position and be suppressed to the fourth level of sequence.”

"This also means that as long as you reach this level, you have the opportunity to prevent the world's rules from being broken down immediately, leaving the world enough room for maneuver so that the rules can be supplemented at that time."

Kagura Tendou frowned slightly.

The monster system belongs to the extraordinary path. As a power stolen from the Outer Gods, it can enable humans to transcend themselves and become transcendent beings.

He didn't fight the ability users of Chifeng, but he knew about the Shadow Creatures. Those things were extremely dangerous. Depending on the environment, their strength fluctuated between Sequence 9 and Sequence 7 of the Shadow System, and they also had the unpredictable ability of teleportation.

While he could maintain control over individual Shadow Creatures, he found them troublesome when there were many of them. In addition, he also had his own weaknesses, so he could not be considered to have completely surpassed humanity.

In other words, if we take the Shadow system as an example, he hasn't even reached Sequence 6 in a certain sense.

Every system is a pyramid structure. According to reasonable calculations, it is more difficult to advance as you go higher. Sequence 4 and Sequence 6 are worlds apart.

"Is there any way to quickly gain power?" He couldn't wait that long. At his leveling speed, it would take at least forty or fifty years, and by the time he became Sequence 4, the real world would have long since died.

Donglan put it tactfully: "Your power lies outside the monster system. If the prophet were still alive, he should be able to give you some advice."

The Prophet is knowledgeable and extremely familiar with various power systems, but others are not. Currently, Chifeng is relying on three systems to become stronger and is completely unaware of things outside of those systems.

Tendou Kagura doesn't follow the path of the three monster systems either; unless Akabane joins forces, there's no way to make him stronger.

Although she is a disciple of the Prophet, she is not a person with superpowers.

The prophet valued her extraordinary spiritual gifts, which allowed her to perceive many things in the unseen realm.

Donglan guessed that the prophet might have foreseen something, so he laid the groundwork in advance to make her the second prophet, but unfortunately he went mad too quickly and there were many things he didn't have time to do.

What system is the Prophet?

Donglan shook his head. The prophet was tight-lipped about his system's capabilities and remained silent.

"What about Shangyang?"

"Shangyang is a spiritual mentor system."

This is an extremely terrifying system. Zifeng is a spiritualist who read his memories silently.

This system originates from the Mind-Stealing Mystery.

However, I have never seen Tendo Kagura, so I can only speculate based on her name.

"I heard that when the resistance was established, the first thing they did was suppress the original high-ranking officials. Is it because of the Heart-Stealing Demon that someone was corrupted?"

"You're right, but you've got it backwards. The mind-stealing monsters were trying to use the bodies of high-ranking officials to ignite conflicts and contradictions among humanity, causing us to lose our composure. Shangyang realized all of this, so he took the initiative to kill all the high-ranking officials first, and only later did he establish the resistance army."

This was beyond the expectations of Tendou Kagura.

Along his journey, many people had told him about this incident: the higher-ups authorized the resistance army, and then Shang Yang, with the cooperation of some higher-ups, imprisoned other officials and took over the operation of society with iron-fisted methods, gathering all forces and uniting them together, preventing humanity from becoming a scattered mess and being defeated one by one.

But apart from those who were originally in high positions, no one objected; they all felt that Shang Yang had done the right thing.

In chaotic times, harsh measures are used, resulting in a bloated workforce and extremely fragmented power. When faced with attacks from shadowy forces, opportunities are fleeting, and the existing political system is inefficient, with simple communication taking half a day and slow response times. Shang Yang's actions are beyond reproach.

But now it seems that's not the case...

Shang Yang first killed all the Heart-Stealing Demons, and only then did the resistance army appear?

Did those people remember it wrong?

Tendou Kagura stared at Donglan, speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "Mind-stealing artifact... In the Spirit Master system, which stage does Shang Yang belong to?"

“Shang Yang altered the memories of all humanity. He is the most powerful psychic in the resistance army, and also the king of Sequence 4 in the psychic system.” Dong Lan’s face was slightly gloomy, and her expression was very sad. “The strongest among humans, he is the king, and also a near-god.”
