This time I chose Paladin

The Sun Master sighed, but the next moment, he frowned. He'd attacked Administrator Number Two... Why hadn't he automatically entered combat mode? He was, after all, fully prepared to make the name 'Sun Master' known around the world! The mask on his face was created to conceal his true identity!

At that moment, a cry of surprise came from behind. A strong sense of danger that made him weak at the knees made him turn around.

He saw that the figure that was supposed to be teleported away was actually standing by the door in the distance?!

The day master was stunned.

At the same time, a system announcement appeared along with the prompt to enter the battle.

[World Boss [Administrator No. 2] has entered combat mode. Challenger: [Sun Lord]. Target's current health: ? /?, Target's current total energy: ?/?, Target's current danger to all humanity: Extremely High. Target's current location is displayed on the global map: China - Zhongzhou - Xunshan. The "Leader-level Hostile Target Profile" has been updated. Players are encouraged to review the "World Boss: Administrator No. 2" chapter and pray for the warrior!]

"Ah?" The Japanese stumbled back two steps: "No..."

No, buddy?!

Administrator No. 2 walked over leisurely, still with his hands behind his waist, but around him, light energy condensed on diamond-like fragments, and then it rose at a constant speed, penetrating the top of the Bone Sacrifice Hall in the blink of an eye, quickly passing through the mountain, destroying the soil and rocks along the way, and rising into the sky.

Everyone around was at a loss for a moment. Seeing that things were not going well, the Sun Master said nothing, and green light surged on his body. In a blink of an eye, he flashed nearly a hundred meters and was about to pass by the No. 2 administrator!

But the next moment, a flash of light descended.

……

The Bone Temple is an unimaginable creation.

It was a suffocatingly huge bone building, deeply embedded in the cold rock wall - it was obviously not built naturally, but more like some kind of huge and incomprehensible life form, when it was dying, forced its last and hardest part into the mountain.

Twisted ribs, thick spines, and countless bone spurs as sharp as spears strangely pierced out from the gray-black rocks and then penetrated deep into the interior of the mountain, forming a gorgeous and eerie area.

However, at this moment, the tranquility of this strange building that had been frozen for countless years was completely broken.

Hundreds of meters above this massive bone fortress, a strange crystal hovered in the sky. It wasn't a regular geometric shape, but rather the fragment of a massive diamond that had been violently shattered. Its edges were sharp as a knife's blade, and its entire structure radiated an indescribable brilliance.

That light is not a single color, but rather a force beyond nature, condensed in a way beyond nature—

The clarity of crystal, the brilliance of diamond, and a glow of energy so pure it's beyond ordinary human comprehension, all jump and flow wildly on its angular surface, as if a miniature sun is imprisoned inside.

Suddenly, the light at the core of the crystal suddenly collapsed inwards and then exploded!

A stream of light, its splendor and power indescribable, instantly pierced the icy air like a spear of judgment cast down by a god. It wasn't fire, yet it burned more fiercely than any flame. It wasn't thunder, yet it held a resolve to rend all things apart!

The light, with the chill of crystal and the brilliance of diamond, struck the dome of the bone structure with pinpoint precision. The destruction was silent and complete. The moment the light touched the pale bones, uncorrupted by millennia of weathering, they did not explode with earth-shattering force. Instead, the intensely scorching energy jet, like ice encountering boiling water, instantly vaporized. The hard bone surface first glowed a blinding pale before dissolving into a scattering of faintly phosphorescent dust. Wherever the light struck, stout pillars and sharp spires silently crumbled and collapsed, as if obliterated by an invisible hand. The bone fortress's structure groaned, and a massive crack, centered at the point of the light's impact, spread outward like lightning, devouring the twisted bones and the supporting rock.

In a matter of seconds, the core of the massive bone fortress embedded in the heart of the mountain was completely pierced and annihilated. The remaining portion, like a giant wreckage being gnawed away, shook violently under the residual force of the light stream, and finally collapsed inward with a loud bang, accompanied by the sound of the mountain collapsing.

A cloud of bone dust and rubble filled the air, obscuring the sun. After releasing this destructive force, the brilliance of the diamond-like crystal hanging high in the air gradually receded and subsided, returning to its pure, mysterious, and cold state of suspension. It was as if the dazzling stream of light that had obliterated everything just now had been a mere breath.

It descended, landing back beside the dark figure. At the edge of a pure, empty space recessed into the mountain, at the edge of the crumbling ruins of the Bone Temple, the figure sat with its hands behind its back, its head bowed quietly.

【Light energy guidance】

Administrator No. 2’s basic attack ended it.

But the battle is not over yet.

The Sun Master lay in the eerie, toppled light of the lampstand, his body covered in broken bones and bruises. A gleaming green light protected him, and he held the Mei sisters in his arms. In the place where the believers once stood, he tilted his head upward, gazing at the canopy like an insect caught in a Venus flytrap. He stared, stunned, at the inky black figure that sliced ​​through the light and darkness, at a light that was almost brighter than the sun and moon.

This... can be beaten?

What the hell is this!!!

The Sun Master was trembling all over. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dukong Wanxiang, save me!!!"

Because I felt that the 2k gap was not appropriate, I added more! Therefore, the update was late.

Chapter 134 Common lines of the second administrator: ""

The day master's voice did indeed attract some kind of power.

A faint green light spread out in the air. This light fell from the sky and hit the three people heavily, unleashing a force of repulsion that knocked Administrator No. 2 outwards and shattered the three people into pieces. Three gray spirits were taken out from their ashes.

The soul of the sun master is attached to his golden mask, and the souls of the two messengers are attached to their pendants. A green light will take them away!

Administrator No. 2 stumbled from the impact, then floated in mid-air, looking towards the green light. The crystal fragments flashed, and a beam of light with full force tore through the void!

'boom! ! ! '

Like a burst of emerald green fireworks, the Sky-Dumo's power was intercepted. The mask and pendant flew through the air, caught by a streak of green light.

In a distant realm, beneath a massive instrument, several humanoid figures watched the images on the screen in silence. They were beautiful, three to four meters tall, with crimson skin, twin horns on their heads, bony wings on their backs, and ornate, elegant clothing with a style similar to, yet eerily different from, human aesthetics.

One of them suddenly asked in a strange language: "What is this?"

"I don't know." The figure next to him replied, "Such individuals shouldn't exist on this planet."

"Of course I know such an individual shouldn't exist..." The questioner operated the instrument, "I sense a tremendous amount of mental power from this energy... I can't estimate the specific index.

"This is good news. Possessing psychic powers proves that the other party is communicative. We need to immediately detect the nature of this energy. I now suspect even more that it is related to previous generations of Homo sapiens civilization."

"Why do you say that?" a figure asked.

A green light flashed in the questioner's eyes, and the picture immediately zoomed in. The lens passed over the armor of Administrator No. 2 and landed on the fragment in the air.

【■■■■■■, eternal glory】.

"Don't you think..." the questioner asked slowly. It straightened up and watched the machine running the analysis program: "...this is very similar to one of our targets, the key to the sea of ​​​​mind of the Homo sapiens—the Prism of the Mind?"

……

Green light spread throughout Xun Mountain, and the lives of the living were cut off and the souls of the dead disappeared.

[World Boss [Administrator No. 2] has withdrawn from combat, and the challenger has died. Target's current health: ? /?, Target's current total energy: ?/?, Target's current danger to all humanity: Extremely High. Target's current location is displayed on the global map: China - Zhongzhou - Xunshan. The record of Administrator No. 2's challenger in the "Leader-level Hostile Target File" has been updated. Players are requested to refer to the appendix to the "World Boss: Administrator No. 2" chapter.]

The body of the Sun Lord disappeared, the golden mask was transferred, the second administrator lost his target and naturally withdrew from the combat state.

The Sky Crossing Demons were rapidly transferring these hard-earned personnel. The area was large and the targets were numerous, so Nie Weiyang couldn't intercept them one by one. But he didn't really try to intercept them. He even pretended not to care, deliberately letting the Mei sisters go and assigning a day master.

Dukongmo was entangled in the mind prism and had no time to care about Rizhu and others. Rizhu and others were immersed in fear, and no one noticed that Meiyan, who was in the same mental state as them, had a little white light in her spirit eyes.

The green light fades and the soul transfers.

Administrator Two met the gaze of another green light. That light revealed a pair of eyes, then gradually twisted, transforming into a massive, winged humanoid figure. A mental force was transmitted, an invitation to communicate.

Nie Weiyang's eyes flickered slightly beneath his goggles. He didn't accept the invitation, but he didn't say anything, and didn't take any other action. He simply stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the green figure, waiting for the other party to speak first.

——This guy is an old acquaintance.

The most frequently seen individual among the Sky-crossing Demons is Gamali Quinn, a male Sky-crossing Demon skilled in deception, illusion, and mind manipulation. He is considered a master among Sky-crossing Demons, and he taught most of the spells of the Cult of Return. In his previous life, Nie Weiyang battled its incarnation over ten times, killing it seven times. As a result, his mental strength and resistance to illusions are exceptionally high.

"...'Administrator No. 2.'" Gamali Quinn's voice echoed in the surrounding air, a technique that used energy resonance to make the air sound. "Nice to meet you."

Administrator No. 2 remained silent.

Gamali Quinn: "..."

It was not discouraged, but only moved slightly closer and said, "Our race, the Tolianga, has good intentions towards you."

This was nonsense, but Administrator No. 2 remained silent, as if he couldn't hear it.

"Ever since the last generation of native Homo sapiens disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, this planet has been sealed until the arrival of Homo sapiens from outer space..." Gamali Quinn's voice was meaningful. "You appeared."

The green figure circled around Administrator No. 2, staring at the dark cloak.

"No Homo sapiens from outer space would have given birth to a being like you. You possess such immense power that a single ordinary attack from you nearly obliterated Mount Xun. But those foolish newcomers don't know your greatness, or how much you care for them, to the point of never actively harming these intruders." Gamaliquin tutted his tone and shook his head. "Respected Second Administrator, I'd like to know how long you've been asleep on this planet?"

Administrator No. 2 finally responded.

He tilted his head slightly.

"Does that mean you don't want to answer, or that you can't answer?" Gamaliquin's voice was full of temptation. "You are so powerful, yet you can only be trapped within the barriers of this planet... How sad. You shouldn't just stay here. The vast universe, full of endless conflicts and opportunities, is the 'world' you should explore..."

Near another Chaos Shelter in Zhongzhou, a huge green light emerged from underground. Structures that had been buried deep underground for who knows how long were uncovered by the light and gradually rose to the surface.

It was actually another 'Xun Mountain' and 'Bone Sacrifice Courtyard', even the arrangement of the bones was exactly the same!

The soul carriers of more than a hundred people including the Sun Master were thrown into the New Bone Sacrifice Hall at random. The door was closed, and in the hazy darkness, candles were lit, starting to fill the Sun Master's spirit body. Other souls merged into the Sun Master, providing him with energy as consumables. At the same time, a large amount of green flames fell into his spirit body, carving out lines of faint green light.

The spirit of the Sun Master gradually awakened, and he was surprised to find that he did not go to the underworld.

This must be the mighty power of Dukong Wanxiang! The gods have not given up on him!

"Holy gods, holy myriad forms..." He muttered, his expression even more pious than before. "I will do my best to carry out the mission and rebuild all of this. First, I will mobilize manpower from other regions to provide support..."

"...You are the last Homo sapiens in this universe, Administrator No. 2. You have no compatriots, no support, and no... missions," Gamaliquin whispered. It finally moved closer to Administrator No. 2, its neutral and soothing voice echoing softly. "I heard that you wandered through the world today, seeing the former civilization reduced to ruins, and the uninvited guests from afar occupying the homes of your compatriots. You must feel uncomfortable and disgusted... Even a great being like you would miss the past. Is that correct?"

I'm sorry I came back late after going to the hospital today. My health has not been very good, and I have to work, so I don't have much energy.

After thinking about it, I decided to update the story before midnight instead of posting it in batches. Otherwise, the chapters would be stuck and it would be hard on everyone and me. The storyline will be faster, and the minimum word count will be 12K per day, but as long as I'm in good shape, I'll probably write 4K or so.

Chapter 135 So what exactly does Administrator No. manage?

Feeling uncomfortable, disgusted?

This is the feeling now, but the reason may be different from what Gamaliquin guessed.

Nie Weiyang still didn't say anything, but just stared at Gamaliquin with interest. In order to communicate with him, the other party even moved his flying position to a place where he could look at the "Second Administrator" at eye level.

This is the advantage of information asymmetry. When an individual possesses a formidable power that cannot be ignored, and also possesses an ambiguous and difficult-to-identify origin, in the absence of intelligence, the enemy will naturally make assumptions about this individual based on the information they already have. While they won't necessarily be certain of the facts, any speculation they generate is a good thing.

Of course, Nie Weiyang does not think that he is completely invincible.

He had long since discovered that while his mental power still had limits, the amount of mental power he could mobilize was nearly limitless. This excess power, this 'out-of-this-world' power, must have a source, but mental power was strongly connected to the mind and soul; they were completely bound together.

The ability to mobilize these powers proved that his spirit had formed a connection with a powerful soul, or a vast spiritual entity. This connection must have occurred between his death in his previous life and his rebirth in this one. However, he had no recollection of this information.

This is most likely because the weight of 'knowledge' exceeds the limit of tolerance, triggering the mental self-protection program.

So, where does the soul go after a person dies?

——Netherworld.

The answer to the question might still lie in the Netherworld. Before figuring out all this, Nie Weiyang wouldn't trust this power. Of course, his psychological activities didn't affect his outward calmness; he always remained that way.

At this moment, Gamaliquin was continuing to try to communicate with Administrator No. 2. In fact, this Sky-crossing Demon didn't really believe what it said at first. It was just narrating a reasonable possibility and testing the real information.

But through some small reactions from the No. 2 administrator, it now really began to believe its own speculation -

Administrator No. 2 is indeed related to the previous civilization!

This guy was a wise man in the past, but for some reason, after tens of thousands of years of the planet's barrier closure, the population has become basically zero!

"Look, you're still wearing your old uniform, but you have no rank, no insignia, no past glory and hope, and you can't even see the dawn of civilization." Gamaliquin's voice was filled with heart-wrenching regret. "Look at the shape of this uniform. You must have been a high-ranking Space Force commander back then, right? How regrettable, just like the alienation of hope, the fall of glory..."

Nie Weiyang: “…”
