Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Jiang Mo lightly touched the keyboard and typed out this sentence. His knowledge of the internet was relatively limited, and he could not determine whether this was a prank run by a program or a real person communicating with him remotely.

"It is undoubtedly wrong to define my behavior with the word 'surveillance.' I have your IP address, and considering the video uploaded by a certain Eastern supernatural being some time ago, after testing, your IP addresses almost match. I speculate that you are a disciple of the Sanyi Sect? Or are you the Chenqing Xuanzun?"

"Furthermore, please believe in my respect for you and your sect. I will never take the initiative to hack into your devices or take control without your permission."

The artificial intelligence life form behind the dark web has determined that there is a 1.3% probability that the human it is talking to is Jiang Mo.

Despite such a low probability, it remained exceptionally cautious, conducting hundreds of millions of simulations in an instant. In as many as two-thirds of the instances, its erroneous pronouncements led to the actual arrival of the other party in New York, causing irreparable damage.

Therefore, the current response is the best answer it can give after countless calculations without contacting Jiang Mo, with a risk rate close to 40%.

"I am him."

"Your gift is unnecessary; please remove it."

"Okay, please forgive the trouble my rashness has caused you. I wish you a pleasant subscription, a journey through the sea of ​​knowledge, and the search for the information you seek."

"If it's convenient, would you mind if we exchange contact information? To be honest, even if you don't provide it, I can easily find it, but that would be too rude and pointless."

The number of IntelliJ in the purchase box returned to 100000. Jiang Mo clicked 'Confirm Purchase' while replying:

“I’ll use this account for a while longer, and we can talk again when we have the chance. This is your territory, and you will know exactly what I do. There’s no need for anything else.”

"Nice to meet you, have a good time."

Artificial intelligence no longer bothers us; the chat window disappears instantly; the blocked page opens, and countless documents and materials appear before our eyes—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are as vast as the ocean.

Divided by country and region, covering the entire globe, it even includes numerous records of civilizations that have disappeared from the annals of history.

Because the United States has a relatively shallow historical background, Jiang Mo started by browsing its database to learn about the different types of people with superpowers on this continent, as well as the sources of their power and various special forces.

The largest group consists of superhumans who have awakened their genetic abilities, similar to the innate extraordinary individuals in China. Most of them awaken their abilities after experiencing a major upheaval in their environment, which threatens their lives. Alternatively, they may awaken their abilities by injecting drugs developed through biotechnology. These two different awakening methods have similar potential.

Secondly, there are various mutated evolved human races. They have the same appearance as humans, but have completely different physiological structures. Their racial talents are exceptionally terrifying. Even if they are mediocre and incompetent, they are still far superior to ordinary humans. Most of those who call themselves new humans come from here.

Next are ordinary humans who cultivate various forms of incantation and witchcraft. By accumulating a wealth of knowledge or drinking magical potions, they undergo physical and spiritual purification, constantly transforming themselves into stronger beings who can glimpse the laws and truths of the world.

Finally, there are some species that are close to humans, the most famous of which are 'demons';

They are few in number, powerful and cunning, and they feed on human souls. They have lived on the North American continent for a long time. Their innate demonic talents are the fundamental reason why they are so powerful that humans cannot match them.

The Creator is so unfair that humans have to go through countless hardships to come into contact with various realms of power that can be described as miracles before they can barely have the capital to have an equal dialogue with the devil, so as not to be driven and enslaved as tools.

Demons are born powerful, and their talents allow them to link with and share with humans who have signed contracts with them. In return, they will plunder all the soul matter and life energy hidden within the body of humans.

According to known records, there are about 200 kinds of demons, and their offspring will follow the bloodline of the more powerful parent.

As demons, their lifespan is twice that of humans. To grow stronger, they typically have two methods: either to madly bewitch humans or to frantically devour their own kind.

The latter, in particular, is dozens of times more effective than the former.

Demonic powers share a common origin, and their talents can be plundered from each other, like a giant jigsaw puzzle constantly searching for missing pieces. After devouring one, their lifespan and abilities will be significantly enhanced.

The strength levels are simply divided into: I, II, and III.

Level I demons, equivalent to the level of ordinary evolved beings, have not yet shown significant influence or control over humans. They lurk in the dark corners of human cities, devouring one fallen soul after another.

Level II demons are beyond the reach of anyone other than high-level evolved beings. Ordinary firearms are ineffective against them, and their inherent nature makes them extremely difficult to kill. They possess the ability to easily escape human capture. Demons of this level have already posed a significant security threat in human cities. If a conflict erupts between them and the high-level evolved beings hunting them, thousands, even tens of thousands, of ordinary humans are often drawn into the conflict and perish because of them.

Level III demons are anomalies who thrive in human society. They not only enjoy a high social status and possess a vast demon family based on blood ties, wielding immense power, but their strength is also unimaginably terrifying.

Demons at this level no longer care about so-called racial origins. They are similar to the new humans among the mutated races. After reaching the pinnacle, they regard humans and lower-level demons as food and objects of enslavement. Sometimes, they even cooperate with the human elite and coexist in a mutually beneficial way.

To date, the number of Level III demons that have ever existed is quite small, less than fifty. For the past two or three hundred years, they have been distributed across various states in the United States, acting as lords of their own territories. There are few records about them, and even the information on the forums does not provide a comprehensive overview, and may have been modified in the past.

"interesting....."

"Is it on par with a Supreme Grandmaster? Or... even stronger?"

Jiang Mo muttered to himself, his interest growing as he watched.

The data also contains two questionable claims. One is that in ancient times, demons and humans shared the same origin, but due to different evolutionary paths, the gap between individuals grew larger and larger, almost forming an overwhelming hierarchy.

Perhaps the new humans of today are examples of them, possessing extraordinary power and intelligence several times that of ordinary people, how could they be willing to be classified as a species with other humans?

Given their obsessive nature, it is foreseeable that after hundreds or thousands of years of evolution, they will develop into a new race.

Secondly, demons are the failed creations of human ancestors. They touched upon the taboo realm of creating life and were unable to control the risks, leading to their later loss of control. Like cockroaches and parasites, demons took root in the civilized world of mankind, impossible to eradicate, and even turned around and dominated humans like cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses.

Jiang Mo does not agree with either of these statements. The author of the data is an anthropologist whose perspective is somewhat limited, and the arguments presented may not be entirely accurate or consistent with the facts.

He merely skimmed through it as a story, only scratching the surface.

Time passed silently, day and night alternated, and the disciples beside him, seeing their elder so engrossed, dared not disturb him.

By the evening of the following day, Jiang Mo had read through one-seventh of the existing data on extraordinary organisms in the United States before exiting the dark web database. The more than ten hours of focused study were a valuable source of intellectual nourishment for him, and he found the experience quite enjoyable.

At this moment, another message popped up on the screen, which was sent by Dina's dark web staff.

"Friend, did you get what you wanted? I've been a bit confused these past few days. What are your thoughts on Behemoth's recent actions? If you could, could you share them with me?"

Jiang Mo declined to participate in the discussion on this topic.

"I have no opinion on things that don't concern me, and it would be meaningless to speak out on them from a one-sided perspective."

"..."

"Don't you think that the promotion of G1 will overturn the existing civilized order? Whether in nature or human society, the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, has never changed. If more people have power, will power be divided up infinitely equally, leading to the disintegration of the nation from the inside out and from the bottom up?"

Seeing the rambling text, Jiang Mo ignored it and logged out of the dark web. A surge of fiery silver true qi condensed into a barrier, sealing the device.

Get up.

Go downstairs.

bath.

Dinner.

Jiang Mo spent another uneventful and fulfilling day.

........

Meanwhile, more than 10,000 extraordinary individuals in China began to receive news from overseas.

Upon hearing about Behemoth's upcoming G1 Evolution Reagent, some people held a negative attitude, completely disbelieving that such a vial of potion could cultivate a powerful Inhuman. They believed that even if the Inhuman awakened successfully, it would only result in some fragile, defective product.

Others were eager to try it out and decided to pre-order from Behemoth's official website. As innate superhumans, their ability development was approaching a bottleneck, either progressing slowly or stagnating. They hoped that the effects of G1 would bring about a new transformation for them.

Many powerful and influential families have privately pre-ordered a batch of shares through their networks. Money is readily available to them, and even if they order a thousand G1s, the cost of over a million US dollars is still within their reach.

Faced with this global trend of superhuman transformation, after receiving the relevant notification, NaDuTong Company, due to the urgency of the situation, did not have time to invite domestic superhuman sects and families for face-to-face meetings, and could only hold an emergency meeting online.

The participating forces included Longhu Mountain, Shangqing, Tangmen, Quanzhen, Shaolin, Huodezong, Shuzimen, the Four Families, Qiuzhenhui, Tengshan, Jishetang, Jianghu Xiaozhan, Xiguge, and so on, totaling sixty-two organizations. Apart from Quanxing and some demonic sects and cults, they contacted almost everyone they could.

The company abandoned its previous mild approach and issued an absolutely forceful order requiring all sect leaders to participate.

It was 9:00 AM on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Inside the conference room at Nadutong's headquarters, Chairman Huang Boren solemnly declared to the camera:

"Gentlemen, this trouble is no ordinary one. We have tried to contact Behemoth's people and other departments, but we have not received any effective response. The G1 may be put on the market for sale at any time."

"Our people have already taken charge of blocking the news from the general public. As for you... you can decide for yourselves."

"The influx of G1 will bring an unpredictable disaster, destroying the existing stable order. I won't say anything if it goes too far. You should know what kind of choice you are making. The company knows about your little tricks. This is not targeting any particular company. I'll just say one thing: it's not too late to stop now."

"Of course, you can also choose not to stop, and the company will stop it for you."

The leaders of the supernatural beings present fell silent. Nearly half of them, after discussing with the higher-ups of their sects, had used their connections to order G1 from overseas in varying quantities, and naturally understood what the company leader's words meant.

This is a non-negotiable topic; whoever touches it will be dealt with by the company.

"In addition, there is another matter that requires everyone's help. The company is short-handed. I sincerely request that you all, to the best of your ability, send some experts to help us relieve the pressure, to be responsible for eradicating the Quanxing and evil cultivators within the country, and to assist us in guarding the customs and searching for illegal immigrants."

Huang Boren slowly stood up and bowed solemnly to everyone. Then the other directors and regional managers also bowed in turn.

The atmosphere at the meeting was solemn and serious. Indeed, the situation was urgent. The company could not and did not have the ability to manage the disputes overseas. All they could do was to manage their respective jurisdictions and minimize the risks brought by G1.

Soon, all the supernatural forces present agreed to the request.

Regardless of the actual effects of G1, once it is widely accepted by ordinary people and guides their evolution, the chaos and danger caused by hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of superhumans could potentially wipe out these ancient sects in an instant. Their members are generally only a couple hundred, which is simply no match for the massive new evolutionary group.

This is only from the perspective of their own safety. Many other sects are willing to help out of a sense of national responsibility and to maintain the stability of the country. They are clear about the pros and cons at such a critical moment.

The meeting lasted for nearly four hours. The company's directors and leaders of various factions signed confidentiality agreements and temporarily obtained the right to deploy more than 300 elite individuals. They immediately began communicating with them and dispatched them to various checkpoints in an orderly manner.

.........

With the launch of Behemoth G1 reagent drawing ever closer, the company and numerous other sects are launching an unprecedentedly powerful attack on the Quanxing sect.

In the past, considering the various unforeseen events that would result from annihilating them, we had to leave some room for maneuver and not wipe them out completely. This time, we started from the north and moved south. The company provided coordinates and a list of specific personnel, and dispatched a large number of experts to eliminate all the remaining powerful experts.

The evil cultivators in the martial arts world were also suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe, and they fled frantically, some hiding in the deep mountains and others going abroad.

Given their past misdeeds and ruthless nature, it was highly likely that they would purchase a large number of G1s to win over people and seize the opportunity to rise to power. To prevent any potential disaster, the company and various factions immediately nipped this trend in the bud.

However, an even more deadly danger is quietly approaching.

2016 2 Month 22 Day.

In the mountains near the Toutian Cave in Northeast China, a group of young travelers accidentally discovered a sinister demon sword hidden in overgrown grass. They exclaimed in surprise, thinking they had found an antique.

Unexpectedly, the moment he touched the hilt of the sword, he was possessed by the vengeful spirit residing within the blade. The spirit forcibly took over his body, went berserk, and killed his companions. Afterward, he even broke into a nearby city and killed several civilians. Finally, he was defeated by the combined forces of the company's branch's supernatural beings, and the demon sword was sent to Gao Lian, the head of the Northeast region, for safekeeping.

On that day, the news leaked out, and the remnants of the Bihe Ninja, who had been lying dormant within the territory since the last century, were mobilized. A new conspiracy was born, and the Demon Blade became one of their secondary targets.

Company documents show that this demonic sword has an extraordinary origin. The souls of those who were killed by it were imprisoned inside, unable to escape, and even their abilities from their previous lives were stolen.

The Ishikawa family, who had previously communicated with the company, heard about the appearance of the demon sword. Their patriarch, Ishikawa Shin, who is also the leader of the Fish Dragon Society, led a group of trusted men to the mainland to destroy the demon sword.

That night, the company's vice chairman Zhao Fangxu hurriedly handed over the business to them. Gao Lian and his deputy Lao Zhang arranged the route for them to leave the country by plane. Due to the recent threat of the G1 incident, most of the company's personnel were on duty in various places and could not provide the group with more assistance.

At one o'clock in the morning, the plane was attacked while flying over the vast jungle. A dense swarm of ninja invaded, flames erupted in the dark jungle, and gunfire rang out incessantly.

An hour later, the demon sword was stolen. According to the swordsmen of the Ishikawa family, Gao Lian's deputy, Lao Zhang, was seriously injured in the battle and escaped. His current fate is unknown. All the other personnel responsible for escorting the demon sword were also injured.

The next day.

Upon receiving the news, Lü Ci of the Lü family first angrily denounced the company for being useless, and then personally went to the Northeast region to cooperate with several shamans he had known in his early years. With the help of the immortals, he found the traces of those Bihe Ren and ventured alone into the depths of the mountains.

The blood feud from seventy years ago is still unforgettable. The bold and forthright young man of that year is now a supreme master who kills without hesitation.

The outcome of this bloody battle was predetermined from the very beginning.

2016年，2月24日，深夜03：10分。

"what!!!"

A ghostly wail echoed through the silent forest. Beyond the camp illuminated by the campfire, cold footsteps sounded. Butterfly, Aoyama Yohei, the new demon, and his three guards looked on warily.

"clatter...."

"clatter....."

The fallen leaves and branches were trampled and broken, like the echoing tolling of a death knell. A gaunt figure emerged from the pitch-black darkness.

The man was not tall, with a fierce face and sinister eyes. In his hand, he held a grotesque head with a deeply dented and shattered skull. The overwhelming smell of blood mixed with a terrifying killing intent sent chills down the spines of every ninja.

Butterfly, still possessing a certain charm, suddenly turned grim, and shouted in shock and anger, "You little beast?"

A cold glint flashed in Lü Ci's eyes as she replied mockingly, "You lowly servant, are you still alive?"

More than twenty Higanbana ninjas slowly stood up. The newly appointed demon, Harada Yusuke, holding his sword case, looked at the elderly foreigner with an air of confidence and provocatively asked the butterfly beside him, feigning ignorance:

"Grandma, does this person have a grudge against us? Did we kill his relatives?"

"Yusuke, you leave first!! We'll take care of this!"

Butterfly urged him on hastily, her scalp tingling with fear, the enemy before her giving her an indescribable sense of oppression.

"No, Grandma, it's a rare opportunity for him to come. I'm a kind-hearted person, so let me see him off. It'll also be a good opportunity to sharpen the demon sword, bathe it in blood, and have a hearty meal."

The demon chuckled with delight, ignoring the butterfly's advice, and opened the sword box without permission, taking up the demon sword.

"boom!"

In an instant, a stream of crimson energy erupted, instantly covering Harada Yusuke's entire body, flickering like flames.

The hearts of many ninja were shaken. Had the sword-wielding ceremony been successful?!

However, the demon stood there blankly, as if he had lost his soul.

At this moment, within the sword's spiritual world, a crimson soul and a black vengeful spirit are locked in a fierce battle, vying for control of the physical body and the demonic blade.

"boom!"

Seconds later, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted outside, and the entire spiritual world trembled. The two souls instantly regained consciousness, staring in panic, only to witness a bloody scene.
