"On March 30th, in London, several Level 3 Awakened Ones were born and began preying on lower-level Awakened Ones. Rumors say that cannibalism is the fastest way to evolve. They are being hunted by the country's top superhumans, causing chaos in several districts."

"On April 1st, in more than twenty cities including Tokyo, St. Petersburg, Philadelphia, and Detroit, there were instances of awakened individuals destroying G1 reagents. Many new humans with awakened powers began to uphold the interests of their respective groups and attempted to destroy the nation built by the old humans."

.........

As dense text swept past his eyes, Jiang Mo's fingertips paused for a moment, then slid down.

The information on the dark web is updated in real time, and he can see the chaotic situation overseas at any time. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a scene of dire straits.

Even with defensive measures such as mechs, superhumans, and bio-soldiers bred with special drugs, it would be difficult for countries to deal with those out-of-control awakened individuals in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Level 4 life forms are extremely rare, and the order of various countries has not completely collapsed.

However, the supply of G1 has not stopped, and the number of Inhumans is increasing every moment, in a state of climbing uphill, and has not yet reached its peak.

When other countries try to control and interfere, it is too late.

On one hand, there are the original apostles of Behemoth who travel to cities in various countries to provide absolute military support for the sale of the reagents. In the fierce conflicts that have occurred so far, there have been no cases of the apostles being defeated.

On the other hand, the powerful awakened individuals who have emerged in their country are intentionally fueling the flames. The more people there are, the easier it is for them to profit. They can either rally the people and seize power, or lie low and hunt down their own kind, constantly evolving, killing two birds with one stone.

Ordinary people living in chaotic times are the most anxious. They have what others don't, and forced by the harsh reality, they can only desperately buy G1 reagents at high prices from various channels, just to have a chance to protect themselves.

After browsing the dark web for nearly half an hour, a familiar chat box popped up on the screen and caught Jiang Mo's eye. The text inside was still a polite and warm greeting.

"Long time no see, have you been busy lately?"

The artificial intelligence life form Dina, the ruler of Behemoth, visits again after many days.

"Spying on me is not a polite thing to do."

Jiang Mo gave an irrelevant answer, clearly stating that he disliked being disturbed; this persistent, annoying conversation routine just wouldn't go away.

"I wasn't spying on you, I just noticed you were online in the backend data, so I wanted to chat with you."

"You are truly remarkable. As an evolved being as powerful as you, I feel an irresistible urge to chat with you a bit more."

Dina reads many human language habits and responds with specific honorifics.

In the past two days, it planned to arrange for 100 million G1 reagents to be sold to the Eastern country where the other party is located. It sent the human directors whose bodies it cloned to negotiate, but was blocked by the country's Security Council and other high-level officials. The reason was that they could not digest so many reagents in a short time and could only allow a maximum of 2 million G1 reagents to enter the country each month.

The artificial intelligence life form could not accept such restrictions and conceived the idea of ​​sending multiple apostles to land in the country to forcibly sell reagents. However, fearing Jiang Mo's existence, it remained inactive and secretly investigated his movements. It even attempted to hack into his devices via the network, but upon discovering the existence of the firewall, it had to retreat.

Do you think the future of humanity will be better?

“Every day now, many awakened individuals are turning into mobs. They are like hungry locusts, relentlessly devouring the land they inhabit. What is your opinion of them?”

Dina barely gave Jiang Mo time to give her a perfunctory reply before refreshing and sending two more messages.

"My arrogance has no impact on the changes or development of the world."

"You don't need to ask me anymore."

Jiang Mo found these elusive dark web staff members rather boring and decided to ignore them.

He logged off the dark web, put down his tablet, and spoke with Lu Jin for a while, explaining the things he needed to pay attention to.

"Jin'er."

"You say."

"When your two senior brothers and I are away, the sect is peaceful and you don't need to manage it."

"But the affairs down the mountain, the land and rivers of the nation, and the ordinary people who yearn for peace need you. Now that you have taken on that position, do your best within your capabilities, understand?"

Jiang Mo said earnestly.

Faced with the overwhelming historical trend, tens of millions of superhumans have successfully transformed, and even he feels somewhat helpless, as chaos is inevitable in the country.

As various factions decline, awakened individuals among the people grow wildly like weeds, even occupying high positions and controlling the discourse. This is an inevitable trend. The human heart is unpredictable, let alone the greed that is seduced by power.

The worst-case scenario is that those awakened individuals who possess extraordinary powers lead their followers to establish new kingdoms, granting fiefdoms and kingships, thus returning to the chaotic state of endless warfare reminiscent of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

Lu Jin and Jiang Mo exchanged glances, and Lu Jin saw a look of compassion in his uncle's eyes, which were like clear springs under the moon.

In an instant, his mind seemed to connect with his teacher, his expression became firm, and his words were powerful and resounding.

"Your disciple understands your instructions."

"No matter how powerful the evil cultivator or the awakened one is, as long as they trample on order and harm the common people because of their own selfish desires, I will definitely destroy their body and soul completely."

Jiang Mo was very pleased, and the smile on his lips was particularly obvious. He reached out and gently stroked Lu Jin's head, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze:

"it is good."

"I believe you can do it."

"Go and prove it, prove that there are no mediocre people among us. 74 years of growth is enough for you to cause trouble."

"Your disciple will certainly live up to your high expectations."

Lu Jin solemnly made a promise.

"Wow!"

Jiang Mo raised his hand, and a golden light, resembling molten iron smelted at high temperature, dripped down from his fingertips, carrying a terrifying sharpness.

This is the special true qi contained in his lungs, which were fused with the Wan Cui Wu Jin after he cultivated the Five Qi Method. Now, it has been condensed through the true method and is gradually transforming into a long golden sword, which lands in Lu Jin's hand.

"If there is anything beyond your power, I will be right beside you."

"With one sword strike, I can at least protect your life."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master!!"

A warm feeling welled up in Lu Jin's heart, and she bowed deeply in gratitude.

Jiang Mo didn't say much before leaving the Sutra Repository and walking through the quiet, deserted forest behind the mountain, returning to the pool where the spring water was gushing.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the wind rose and the clouds surged. Jiang Moxin followed his thoughts and used his true magic. The soil within a radius of a thousand meters instantly broke through the towering rock walls, which were covered by dense trees.

At the same time, the crimson barrier and the blazing silver barrier were set up together.

After making these preparations, Jiang Mojing sat on the rock by the pool. In an instant, many memories he had prepared beforehand flooded his mind, and the secrets of the physical structure of the nine creatures were all revealed before his eyes.

It was all for naught that he helped those immortals in the Northeast, transforming them one by one and expending all his energy.

Now, the time for reward has arrived!

"call......."

He adjusted his breathing, cleared his mind of all distractions, and his flawless body was surrounded by a faint glow of blood and energy, about to undergo transformation.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment. In the stillness of all things, Jiang Mo used the memories in his mind as a guide and the true method as a medium for deduction to transform his physical body into that of an elf.

With a "whoosh!" sound, his flesh and bones underwent a deformity, expanding continuously, and his face was burned away like a cotton blanket by flames, giving rise to a ferocious beast head.

Its hands split apart, and in their place grew a pair of enormous claws. Its slender body also sprouted eight legs and a crimson, lava-like carapace.

This was none other than a member of the same clan as the Mountain Scorpion Immortals. Its flesh and blood had evolved perfectly, and its body was tens of feet long without a single flaw. It had transformed from a human into an elf, becoming incredibly powerful.

If the group of immortals from the Northeast were fortunate enough to witness this, they would surely be terrified out of their wits.

Compared to this ferocious beast, the Fallen Dragon Fairy and the Heavenly Pool Fairy were like fireflies vying for the sun and moon's brilliance.

"Roar!!!"

With a long howl that shook the mountains and forests, the giant scorpion's body underwent another transformation.

The pincers and lava-like carapace disappeared one after another, slowly and orderly transforming into a giant white snake with scales like beautiful jade, crystal clear and lustrous.

Its body is broad and stretches for hundreds of meters, exuding a powerful beauty. Its deep blue eyes reveal a terrifying spirituality. Its snake head is handsome, with six unusual horns on its forehead, like a python transformed into a dragon.

This is the race of the White Snake Immortal. Every inch of their flesh and blood is filled with surging power. Compared to the giant scorpion that has just transformed, their defense has decreased, but their muscles and bones are more tightly formed, and their explosive power is stronger.

Following that, the centipede, the red spider, the weasel, the golden monkey, the brown bear, the fox, and the three golden toads continued to change without stopping.

One after another, towering monsters were born here, all of which were the forms Jiang Mo obtained by refining the secrets of the flesh and blood of those elves.

Each of them has its own strengths. Each core that condenses life energy gives birth to a corresponding supernatural power. A single beast body possesses at least seven supernatural powers, and sometimes as many as ten.

The passage of time lost its meaning here. Jiang Mo devoted himself to cultivation. The nine completely different life forms were all inferior to the original body, with a strength that was slightly less than a few tenths, but they had some special abilities that should not be underestimated.

After an unknown amount of time, the nine bodies faded away, and the figure sitting cross-legged on the bluestone became even more upright.

After long periods of meditation, Jiang Mo integrated the characteristics of nine different organisms into himself, taking their essence and discarding their dross, preparing to create a second true body outside of his human form.

The original body was already perfect, and he did not seek to surpass it. If the second true body could be on par with it, it would already be a great achievement, because it was a completely different power. Under certain circumstances, it might even be stronger than the original body.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Silvery-gray substance flowed from Jiang Mo's chest like mud, falling to the ground. In the blink of an eye, it formed a cocoon-like structure, binding and imprisoning him, thus beginning a new period of transformation.

Chapter 339 Earth-shaking Changes

Late at night on April 9th, Jiang Mo went into seclusion. As dawn broke, Lu Jin briefly explained the situation to Chang Qing and then hurriedly went down the mountain.

Since the opening of G1 entry two weeks ago, chaos has frequently occurred in various places, and the order of the country has been repeatedly impacted by various awakened individuals and heretical practitioners.

Even if the situation is stabilized in the short term and does not collapse, the hidden dangers lurking in many provinces are like a constantly brewing storm, ready to explode at any moment.

The more than 50,000 members belonging to the Security Council include some of the original personnel from the company's restructuring, some of the elites from martial arts sects, some of the agents dispatched by the ten departments, and some soldiers and city police who have awakened their superpowers and can be stably controlled. Even if they all devote themselves to managing the out-of-control awakened individuals in various places, it is still a drop in the ocean.

There are more than 600 cities in China, but only less than 400 Class B and Class C mechs provided by ten units. Some neighboring prefecture-level cities even have only one mech for protection.

For megacities or provincial capitals, more than six Class B mechs are needed to guard them. Moreover, the mechs need to be charged, and the amount of electricity they draw can be equivalent to ten or fifteen days' worth of electricity for a city, affecting the daily lives of local residents at a considerable cost.

Even if they have the ability to hunt down Level 3 Awakened Ones and deter Level 1 and 2 Awakened Ones, it is impossible for them to monitor every corner at all times. Every day, there are deaths, and many Awakened Ones who have gained superpowers cause damage to the city streets in order to kill their enemies or simply vent their desires.

From April 5, when the Security Council was established, until April 16, all staff members from top to bottom worked tirelessly, rushing to various places to handle numerous cases of evil practitioners and awakened individuals causing chaos in cities. There was no leniency; once they were found, they were executed.

The three presidents, seven vice presidents, and 28 councilors have not even had time for a single in-person meeting; they are the busiest of all.

The intelligence gathering personnel within the organization reported nearly 2000 troublesome incidents that needed to be handled. The lowest level involved was Level 2 Awakened, with Level 3 being the most common and Level 4 being extremely rare.

Unlike many of his colleagues who travel by plane, Lu Jin used his Qi to cross mountains and rivers, making his rescue efforts the most efficient.

He kept his promise to his master, wielding a frost-colored longsword, and fought his way from south to north, from the coast to the inland, stepping over countless corpses. Wherever he went, evil cultivators fled in disarray, and awakened ones lay dead everywhere.

Time flies. In the last century, the path that Master Zuo Ruotong walked before he entered the sect is now the path that he should walk.

For ten whole days, a single sword brought frost to twenty-four provinces.

Having cultivated to the third level of Reverse Rebirth and yet still not aged, Lu Jin was in the prime of his life, practically a humanoid killing machine.

Those Level 3 Awakened individuals who possess super vision, hearing, speed comparable to the speed of sound, and a body of steel, once he catches their trail, he attacks them directly, either by raising his hand to slit their throats with a sword or by smashing their bodies into a cloud of blood mist with a punch, leaving them with no strength to resist.

Even the rare Level 4 Awakened Ones couldn't withstand more than a hundred rounds from him.

Its efficiency is so high that it ranks first in the association.

His muscle memory from slaughtering the Quanxing sect in the past has fully revived, making him exceptionally skilled at carrying out missions. A total of 60 evil cultivators, 90 level 2 awakened individuals, 128 level 3 awakened individuals, and 1 level 4 awakened individual have died at his hands.

On average, he kills 27 superhumans every day, which is about one per hour, and sometimes even faster.

To avoid further trouble, Lu Jin marked the location of the 'Human World Within Reach' at each temporary branch of the Security Council, making it easier for the next teleportation.

The Security Council officials in charge of data statistics were utterly astonished as they watched the cases being resolved one after another on their computers.

Whether it's the combined achievements of the two presidents and seven vice presidents, or the 28 councilors, they all come close to, but cannot surpass, President Lu's record.

They lacked corresponding methods of pursuit, but Lu Jin, with the help of the 'One Qi of the Human World' taught by his master, could almost always pronounce their death in advance simply by touching the remains of the injured's corpses or the objects left behind by evil cultivators and awakened individuals, no matter how far away or how well hidden.

It was only recently that people realized just how terrifying the power of the old man of the Lu family truly lay beneath his approachable exterior.

The sheer number of corpses of Level 3 and Level 4 Awakened individuals is enough to demonstrate that, among the known files of extraordinary individuals, only his senior brother Wei Xuanzi and his uncle Chen Qingxuanzun could surpass him.

With the Security Council's encouragement, news of Lu Jin's killing of evil cultivators and awakened individuals spread far and wide, alarming many ambitious new supernatural beings who felt threatened and began to back down.

On April 16, at 4 p.m., the sun disappeared below the horizon.

In an abandoned factory in a certain city, several terrified ice sculptures lay at Lu Jin's feet. He remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened, and twisted a miniature computer shaped like a ring, which was attached to the middle finger of his right hand.

Immediately, a soft, faint light particle was projected into the void before our eyes, and numerous conference portrait windows sprang out like jelly.

This is a communication tool provided by the department that develops mechs to the 38 senior members of the Security Council. Half an hour ago, Lu Jin received a notification to start the meeting, and now he officially enters.

In just half a minute, familiar faces appeared one after another in those dimly lit windows, including Chairman Wei Yuanming and Zhang Zhiwei, who were of equal status to him; Vice Chairmen Na Ruhu, Gao Mei, and Lü Ci; and councilors Guan Shihua, Mu You, Hao Yi, Ren Fei, and so on.

The 38 people arrived quickly. Su Nianlin, the vice president who stayed behind at the headquarters, was a middle-aged man in his early forties with a refined appearance. His expression was somewhat solemn as he brought extremely bad news.

“Just a few hours ago, five Level 4 Awakened individuals from overseas joined forces, occupied Florida, completely carved out a territory, and led tens of thousands of Awakened individuals in a battle against the state’s armed forces.”

"Based on the current results, they have won."
