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

Even Shang Yang couldn't save humanity.

Tendou Kagura's pupils contracted as her prediction came true, but she felt no pride, only a sense of horror.

Spiritualists are individuals with abilities related to the mind and spirit. Unlike the Shadow system, they can influence the human mind and thought.

Tendou Kagura possesses the passive ability of "Resilient Mind," which allows him to resist mental forces, so he is not too worried that Azusa will alter his mind.

Even so, modifying the entire human race is too vast a scope, simply unimaginable.

Donglan continued, "At that time, the human political system was thoroughly corrupted. The Mind-Stealing Monsters had mysterious and unpredictable abilities that could modify human thinking and cognition on a large scale. They wanted to win without fighting, exhausting human strength through internal depletion. Fortunately, Shangyang and the Prophet were aware of this early on and swiftly killed all the participants. They directly contacted various armies, formed a resistance army, took over everything, and forcibly restored our vitality."

She spoke lightly, but Tendou Kagura knew all too well that there was a great deal of bloodshed and turmoil involved. In order to ensure that humanity was absolutely under the rule of the Resistance Army, Shang Yang ordered the grassroots personnel to restore the operation of society with an extremely forceful attitude. In a subtle way, he modified the memories of all humans, guiding them in one direction. He required them to spontaneously maintain the Resistance Army and not to question or interfere with any of the Resistance Army's actions.

"Shang Yang influenced many people, some because of his personal charisma, and some because of the power of a spiritualist. But overall, it was because of his enlightenment. To humanity, he was the sun, illuminating the way forward in the darkness. All the shadowy creatures were no match for him, and even the rebellion caused by the mind-stealing creatures could not kill him. He was almost omnipotent. According to what the prophet said before he went mad, Shang Yang at that time was already the spiritualist closest to God."

Yet this incredibly powerful sun fell in the dead of night.

The wind howled and the rain roared.

That night, Bloodblade's men saw two strange figures descend upon his office.

After the man died suddenly, the prophet also perished, and the resistance army collapsed, suffering countless deaths and injuries.

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter Nineteen: The Resistance Army and the Red Vanguard [Fifth Update]

"Is this why you're trying to block information about the Heart-Stealing Demon?" Tendou Kagura asked.

The Mind-Stealing Artifact can bewitch the mind. If this ability were to become known, especially if the resistance leader possessed it, then the common people would likely be thrown into chaos.

No one can guarantee that they won't be brainwashed.

More importantly, Shangyang did indeed brainwash people.

He used his abilities to make humanity overlook various anomalies, revealing no clues about the strange creature and keeping humanity in the dark of ignorance.

If this were a peaceful era, Shang Yang would definitely be a boss who intends to conquer all of humanity and bring everyone under his terrifying rule.

“Some of them are!” Donglan did not shy away from this fact. “Moreover, the fear that humans have of the Heart-Stealing Monsters will cause them to sweep back and cause rebellions from all sides. We cannot fight against the Flesh-and-Blood Monsters and the Shadow Monsters while facing internal troubles, so we can only choose this method.”

The Mind-Stealing Monsters possess extremely mysterious abilities, feeding on human minds and emotions. Although the Mind-Stealing Monsters that were attached to the upper echelons of humanity were suppressed by the Iron-Blooded, some of their remnants were not completely eliminated and instead transferred to the minds of other humans.

With one heart and one mind, they are one body, and one day they will be reborn in other people's bodies, which is an unsolvable problem.

If there are specific emotions within a human group that are directed at them, such as fear and fanaticism, their recovery will be accelerated.

Even Shangyang found it difficult to find out that one of the purposes of establishing Blood Blade was to fight against the rebellion of the Heart-Stealing Demon.

"At its peak, Bloodblade had nearly eight thousand ability users, 1,821 Shadow users, 450 Spirit Masters, 5,637 Warriors, and over eighty Transcendent users. Humanity was stronger than ever before. We were all confident and united. The Mind-Stealing Monsters were nothing to fear, the Flesh Monsters were just targets, and while the Shadow Monsters seemed to be everywhere, they posed no real threat to the Resistance. Later, led by Shang Yang, we stood under the same sun and swore an oath to reclaim all the lands humanity had lost. At that time, the Prophet was also there..."

Kagura Tendo also learned about what happened afterward.

The Red Blade now has less than 500 men. This is not just a massive loss, it's practically nothing but blood left.

"We lack high-end combat power, otherwise we would never have lost." Donglan's expression was gloomy. The prophet built a complete system, and Shangyang guided humanity forward, but both of them fell unexpectedly, leaving only a group of defeated soldiers who were unwilling to end the story like this, harboring a desire for revenge.

The term "Transcendent" refers to beings above Sequence 6, but all eighty-plus Transcendents died that night.

That past was so tragic and horrifying that Tendo Kagura truly felt how powerful the resistance army that could drive out the Lord of the Wasteland was.

Even so, the resistance collapsed in a great rebellion. Even Chifeng could hardly explain what happened back then. They were attacked most fiercely. In that dark night, all the light disappeared, leading to the fall of the sun.

Then, Donglan told Tiandao Shenle that among the three systems, the ability of the Spirit Master is the most mysterious and unpredictable, while the Shadow system is the most lethal, and only the Warrior system has the highest success rate.

She explained the differences between the three systems in detail, and what she said was extremely important. As a disciple of the Prophet, she knew more information, and Tiandao Shenle silently wrote it down.

"You seem to be under a lot of time right now?"

"The Chaos Mist is about to approach the earth..." Before she could finish speaking, she wanted to take this opportunity to reveal more information.

"Donglan, you have left your post without permission!"

Just as the two were deep in conversation, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Zifeng strode over, tall and robust, wearing a clean and crisp dark-colored Chifeng military uniform with a blood-red blade drawn on his shoulder insignia.

His face was cold and hard, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with anger, showing his extreme annoyance at Donglan's behavior.

There wasn't enough time to begin with, yet they still abandoned their posts.

But Donglan wasn't intimidated and said, "Before I left, I found someone to take over my position."

"No one can replace you, Chifeng." Zifeng's face was gloomy.

After the resistance collapsed, the Red Blade team had to gather the remnants, establish plans, conduct regular patrols, eliminate crises, and deal with the lurking flesh-and-blood monsters outside, as well as the shadowy monsters that were about to attack. Everyone on the Red Blade team had a packed schedule, and no one even had enough time to rest. If it weren't for the fact that everyone on the Red Blade team was superhuman and had extremely strong physiques, they would have collapsed long ago.

On the contrary, ordinary soldiers on the periphery have relatively ample rest time.

Now that the plan has begun, all the ability users have been recalled, and all the Red Blades must demonstrate their will through their spirit and actions.

As a crucial part of the plan, Donglan was still concerned about those ethereal and elusive cultural heritages.

He was furious. Donglan was too disobedient. He shouted, "You are doing something pointless and delaying Chifeng's operation."

Donglan said calmly and generously, "I'll say it again, this is not a pointless matter. I will not stop your revenge, but the extinction of humanity is inevitable. I must at least spread the wisdom accumulated by our civilization, let our voices be heard in other worlds, and declare to everyone that such a civilization once existed and made its efforts. Our thoughts and our souls will be integrated into it and live on in the hearts of people in other worlds. For this, I will spare no expense!"

She has always believed that only by spreading the thoughts and wisdom of civilization can it take root and flourish in other worlds.

Even if they are dead, it's as if they are still alive.

They will be reborn in another world.

But Zifeng remained unmoved, his sharp eyes fixed on Donglan like nails, as if he were staring at a dead man.

Then he said coldly, "You actually want to empathize with Chifeng, but how can weapons respond to your ridiculous sentiments? I don't care what you've done, but if your actions affect the entire Chifeng, I will be the first to take your head, crush your soul, trample your spirit, and make sure you die a horrible death!"

“I respect the prophet because he did things that benefited humanity and the resistance, burning his own life to pave the way for us. His actions were by no means just to let the legacy of civilization be lost to other worlds.”

"And you, Donglan! You have neither the achievements of a prophet nor his abilities, yet you wholeheartedly regard this insignificant last word as your guiding principle..."

His words were filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to strike on the spot. The Red Blade had already been established, yet there were still people who reminisced about the past glory and were immersed in the greatness of humanity. It was utterly ridiculous!

Did she think that by doing something, she could be used as ointment to continue the flame of civilization?

How can those things that only exist on paper compare to human beings themselves!

His eyes were cold and unfathomable. He wanted to use the power of a spiritualist to change Donglan's mind, but the success rate of the original plan was extremely low. If he forcibly rewrote Donglan's personality, it might ultimately fail.

Donglan's brows twitched violently as she realized that she and Zifeng were completely unable to reason with each other. There had been similar clashes many times, but none had ever been as intense and sharp as today's.

She didn't care about life or death; her only obsession was to complete her mission.

"Now that things have come to this, you Chifeng can disregard everything, but I disagree. If you think I can't meet Chifeng's demands, why not use your mental powers on me, or perhaps..."

Donglan's words were firm and powerful, filled with an indifference to life and death: "Just shoot me!"

She can accept this outcome, but Chifeng cannot.

Zifeng suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Go back and meditate, find the state the prophet was in back then, and remain in that state!"

But Donglan ignored him, their ideologies were too different, and instead turned to the Way of Heaven and the Way of Divine Joy.

"As you can see, this may be the last time we communicate. You can also sense that the situation in our world is not optimistic. Let's leave here." She seemed hesitant, but she made up her mind and said it again very solemnly.

"Please, please, never let it happen again!"

"Your power doesn't belong to the monster system, but the solidified blood body of flesh and blood monsters might be useful to you. However, Crimson Edge doesn't have these resources right now. If you still have time, you can acquire them yourself."

After saying her last words, Donglan left without looking at Zifeng.

Zifeng then turned his gaze to Tiandao Shenle.

Those who can descend to other worlds will have some abilities, more or less. The prophet himself has very magical powers. He made a deal with a great being and obtained the ability to travel through various worlds in his dreams.

Although Chi Feng is crazy and reckless, this is their own revenge and does not involve outsiders.

Abandoning everything, abandoning human emotions and self, disregarding right and wrong, disregarding worldly affairs, all for the sake of delivering the final, unparalleled blow.

More importantly, controlling this person wouldn't bring them any more benefits. Zifeng couldn't even guarantee that this person's spirit would be ignited by them. Besides, they already had enough firewood. In the past, they had turned all the dissidents who opposed Chifeng's ideology into firewood, ready to ignite them at the crucial moment. They didn't need to add another one.

"Outsider, I don't care what your world is like, or how you view it. You can do whatever you want. But don't get in my way. You're willing to die for your world, and we'll die for ours!"

Tendou Kagura was slightly moved, whether by Zifeng's words or by sensing a sharp aura locking onto her.

This is a warning.

It was very similar to the mental impact of his [killing intent fluctuation] and [killing aura] combined, but it was purer and could be described as a naturally flowing pressure.

Such an ethereal aura could never be achieved without having killed a sufficient number of enemies.

Tendou Kagura suspected that Zifeng had been triggered by Donglan's actions, and that he was currently in a state of irritability.

Moreover, during this period, there were drastic changes within the Red Army. Originally, there were more than 10,000 people left, but now there are less than 9,000.

The gray clouds above were getting closer to the earth. Tiandao Shenle didn't know what they were, and Donglan didn't have time to say it either, only uttering the words "Chaotic Mist".

Time is really running out.

He calmly accepted the pressure and did not get angry in the face of Zifeng's threat. He stood still and said quietly, "I'm going to the front line. Maybe I can help you share the burden."

Zifeng glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

During his time in the resistance, he was a purely violent individual, not skilled in verbal communication.

After becoming Chifeng, the situation worsened. All the troops had gone out of control, and most of them were killed or wounded that night. The survivors became mindless zombies because they had lost their spiritual support.

They were the ones who stepped forward and rallied the remaining forces.

Fortunately, most people were reasonable, and the process went smoothly without any obstacles. Although some disagreed with Chifeng, it was only for a moment.

The army, which originally numbered in the millions, was reduced to one-tenth.

Now, after further depletion, less than 10,000 people remain.

Chi Feng didn't ask much of them, only that they risk their lives to block the South China Sea before the plan began, preventing the flesh-and-blood monsters from rushing in and interfering with their plans.
