However... at present, she can only create spirit pets using B-grade items as a medium.

I wonder if, once I can unleash the power of spiritual energy, I'll be able to turn A-grade items into spirit pets.

This person has great psionic potential, but before it develops, it has virtually no combat power.

So she suffered terribly in this Holy Spirit War dream... No, what harmed her was not the psychic power, but Fan Xiao's arbitrary infringement on other people's portrait rights!

If it weren't for the existence of the simulated Jade Snow Mirror, which constantly influenced her mindset, she wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

"Copyright fees..." Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Ask Senior Sister Yu how much it is."

“…Stop joking,” Youbai reminded him, “What’s the next event? Let’s hurry up and wipe out the players from Star Memory City.”

Upon hearing this, the others also abandoned their relaxed demeanor and entered combat readiness mode.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Fan Xiao shook his head slightly and announced joyful news with a smile: "They're all dead. This war is over."

"..."

Everyone stood there, stunned.

What did you do while we were experimenting with psionic powers...? In their minds, they conjured up some rather unpleasant images.

"Hurry up and choose the next game to participate in. You can pass the level after completing two games. There are still a lot of things to take care of after we get out."

Fan Xiao reminded them, "For this second project, I won't provide any assistance until the very last moment. Just try your best to improve your dungeon rating."

Chapter 680 A World Where Only I Don't Exist

Six p.m.

Chen Yushu... who is also the president of the Radiant Society, has returned to the Mercury District of Star Memory City from the dungeon.

Behind her followed a large number of core members of the Radiant Society. All of them had been through a fierce battle and were injured. Many of them were also showing signs of weakness.

However, their faces bore smiles of joy and emotion, a mixture of pride and satisfaction.

The Star Memory City faction players who were previously involved in the dungeon have all been wiped out.

After all these years, they have finally won a great victory!

Next…

A B-level player picked up the compass item in his hand and examined it carefully. Then he said to Chen Yushu, "Guild Leader, none of the Whalefall people are in Star Memory City."

“They should still be fighting in the instance,” Chen Yushu judged. “We are only responsible for one area, while they are responsible for the remaining four, including A-level players. They will take longer than us, barring any unforeseen circumstances.”

After thinking for a moment, she raised her voice and reminded everyone, "It's not enough for us to win the battle; only when they succeed can this operation truly end."

"Now, don't be stingy with recovery potions, drink as many as you can! Recover as quickly as possible!"

"If they fail on their end, we'll have to..."

"You're overthinking it. I've been waiting for your return for over five hours. That's too slow!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, interrupting Chen Yushu's instructions to the members of the Radiant Society.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that Fan Xiao had appeared on the open space next to them at some point.

Behind Fan Xiao were other members of Whale Fall, including Yin, Saintess, and Yu Xuezhao.

This kind of entrance... clearly shows that they have wiped out all the high-ranking members of Star Memory City.

At this moment, only a small number of C-level players, as well as D and E-level players, remain in Star Memory City.

Some of these players realized something was wrong and used their tickets to escape to the station. However, with the spacetime track near Sector 004 destroyed, their fate was sealed—they would be wiped out by the Radiant Society members lying in ambush there.

The remaining players are all small fry.

The war among the high-ranking officials ended too quickly, and these small fry didn't even have time to react. They were still living in Star Memory City as usual, and most of them didn't even have a sense of crisis.

Five hours...

Chen Yushu's eye twitched slightly as she asked, "Were all those B-level players dealt with?"

"All high-end combat forces have been wiped out. Star Memory City is now a mere shell of its former self. Whale Fall has accomplished its objectives and mission."

Fan Xiao said, "You will be responsible for the aftermath. The remaining small fry of Xingyi City cannot stop you."

"Well... you'll be very busy."

Chen Yushu felt a sense of relief and ease.

The victory in this war has extraordinary significance!

Although Guangyao will be extremely busy, with tasks such as reorganizing Xingyi City, eliminating small fry, liberating satellite cities, reforming the thinking of the people of Xingyi City, dealing with the new social system, and settling the "commodities"... a whole host of troubles will come their way, but they are all happy to immerse themselves in this busyness.

After decades of turmoil and chaos, the world is finally moving towards stability.

Chen Yushu temporarily suppressed her emotions and took the initiative to ask Fan Xiao, "Are you leaving?"

“Yes,” Fan Xiao said, “I waited for you to come out specifically to say goodbye.”

"Will there be opportunities for cooperation in the future?" Chen Yushu smiled slightly. "Or rather... what does Whale Fall's business scope include?"

“You can think of Whale Fall as a mercenary organization for now. Our business… for now, we take on assassination-related jobs,” Fan Xiao replied. “However, we only take big jobs and will conduct on-site investigations to determine if the assassination is necessary.”

“Assassination? That’s too general,” Chen Yushu said. “Could you be more specific?”

"You'll see in a while. This large-scale assassination is just a show to mark the emergence of Whale Fall," Fan Xiao said. "Don't worry, the Radiant Society is about to become the dominant organization in Division 004. How could I possibly give up such valuable connections? We'll definitely have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future... no, we'll have a business collaboration soon."

"How so?" Chen Yushu asked.

"The Star Memory City Alliance has been destroyed. All you have to do now is clean up the mess, and you'll have basically completed the unification of the district."

Fan Xiao showed a keen interest and said, "Once the unification is complete, we can apply to the game company to become part of the Ninth Dimension."

"The fusion process is not instantaneous; it usually takes half a month to a month. During this period, a large number of new dungeons will be created, and the creation of a large number of new dungeons will inevitably be accompanied by a large number of dungeon items. At that time, players from all regions will flock to the area."

"When there are too many people, chaos will ensue. If your Guangyao faction can't control the situation and the entire district falls into chaos again... the integration process might be abandoned halfway through."

"This can be considered a test for game companies regarding regional divisions."

"So... I can hire you as bodyguards?" Chen Yushu asked.

"I guess so, but our prices are very high, so you'd better be prepared."

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "The number of merged partitions on the G08 node is very small. It's possible that someone is sabotaging things behind the scenes to prevent the birth of new merged partitions."

"So, besides the chaos caused by the dungeon items, there are probably forces lurking in the shadows eyeing this place."

"I think it would be quite difficult for you to defend it on your own."

"Where are we going to get the money!" Chen Yushu immediately started playing the victim: "You've seen it yourself, the Radiant Society has been developing for so many years, and they've only built a few safe zones. So... can you give us some discounts?"

"You want a discount for hiring bodyguards of our caliber?"

Fan Xiao revealed the ugly face of a businessman: "You may not have money now, but once the integrated zones are completed and resources are allocated, trade will take off. Will you still be short of money then? If you don't have money now, you can spend money from the future, right?"

Chen Yushu: "..."

Fan Xiao continued, "Alright, let's discuss the price later. Now let's do something else."

"What is it?" Chen Yushu asked curiously.

“We’re assassins after all, so our identities need to be kept secret,” Fan Xiao said. “Previously, to facilitate operations, all members of Whale Fall had direct contact with you… Do you understand what I mean?”

"..." Chen Yushu became wary: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, it's just to make you forget the detailed information about us. You'll still remember some basic information," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "Don't be afraid, it's just a minor change in your memory."

"You want to manipulate our memories...!?"

Chen Yushu instinctively took several steps back.

“Don’t be so nervous. As the president, you can still remember me.” Fan Xiao took a step forward. “But the other members of Whale Fall… I’m sorry, I have to keep it a secret from them.”

The next instant, he activated the new psionic energy he had replenished through the Awakening Project.

[Rank B Psionic Ability: Void Wind]

True demise is being forgotten by people, forgotten by the world.

As the master of this psychic power, Fan Xiao instinctively knew which basic abilities he could activate.

The effects of "Wind of Nothingness" can be roughly divided into three categories.

Firstly, when the winds of nothingness blow towards you, they can eliminate your sense of existence.

Secondly, when the winds of nothingness blow towards others, they can erase one's memory of oneself, making others forget that one even exists.

Whether it's temporary or permanent removal, it can be done, and the specific amount of information to be removed can be precisely controlled.

For example, it's not difficult to make someone forget their own name but still remember that they exist.

Thirdly, when the winds of nothingness blow across an area, they can erase all traces of oneself left in that area, including but not limited to everyday items, images, and written records about oneself in documents...

This effect has the highest cost to activate, but it also has the greatest potential for achieving miracles.

Because it is an elimination at the conceptual level.

Even if someone secretly takes a picture of him with their phone, he will disappear from the picture as soon as the wind blows, leaving only the surrounding environment.

At this moment, Fan Xiao, relying on his powerful A-level mental strength, pushed the effect of "Wind of Nothingness" to its peak.

Then he surpassed the pinnacle—the Breakthrough Master of the Hidden Realms.

In that instant, the wind of nothingness born from Fan Xiao's spirit blew across the world and across the entire 004 district.

Fan Xiao also added the information that other members of Whale Fall needed to eliminate to the Void Wind.

This gentle breeze gradually blended into the normal wind and spread throughout the world.

Yes—the breakthrough of the B-grade psionic energy "Wind of Nothingness" has exceeded its original limits, so its effects are no longer limited to itself.

The current Void Wind can erase traces of others as well... No, not only humans, but other life forms, including inanimate objects, are all included in its interference scope.

Although it still lacks obvious offensive capabilities, it can be used to pull off many clever maneuvers if you open your mind.

Fan Xiao was naturally in no mood for frivolous play at the moment. After letting the Void Wind blow across the world, he transferred the Whale Fall members behind him back to Fairy Tale Town.

He stayed behind, using the illusion of nothingness to eliminate his own sense of existence and blend into the crowd.

The effects of psionic energy gradually became apparent.

The traces left by the Whale Fall members within Division 004 are gradually disappearing.

The coordinate ritual information of Fairy Tale Town and Moni Tower has disappeared from the memories of those whose minds have been interfered with.

The paper and electronic documents related to Fan Xiao and others that were preserved in Guangyao City have also disappeared.

The specific appearances and names of Fan Xiao and others disappeared from the memories of Chen Yushu and others.

Their personal belongings used within this area also vanished into the wind, as if they had never existed.

Chen Yushu's eyes glazed over for a moment, forgetting many things. She only remembered that there was an organization called Whale Fall that helped the Radiant Society win the war. The leader of this organization was a very handsome man who was gentle and easy to talk to. His contact method was... a black paper cutout.

Information about other Whale Fall members... She only remembered that there were multiple members in Whale Fall, but she didn't know exactly how many there were or who they were.

This process of forgetting... no, it should be said that this process of information disappearing is very natural. No one, including Chen Yushu, realized that they had silently forgotten many things.

The attack effect of the B-rank psionic energy "Void Wind" is almost negligible, making it impossible to use directly in combat; at best, it can only provide support. However... because it sacrifices crucial attack power, its effect in erasing traces is outstanding.

Fan Xiao, who was hiding in the Guangyao Society, took the opportunity to let Yan Keke, who was next to him, peek into the memories of the people around him.

Soon, Yan Keke reminded Fan Xiao, "Brother Fan, their memories have indeed changed, and it's not a simple change. The relevant information has disappeared and no longer exists, so it's impossible to investigate."

"Hmm...it seems the effect is guaranteed."

Fan Xiao nodded, took out a monocle from his storage space, put it on, and continued, "Xiao Zhen, let's see what information we can find."

"Okay, master."

Xiao Zhen immediately began to recall past information.

The relevant animation appeared, but it wasn't as smooth as it used to be.

The animation showed blank areas flashing intermittently, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, which affected the animation effect.

However... these blank spaces were not large in size and did not appear many times. Through the animation, Fan Xiao finally grasped the content of the conversation that had just taken place, with only a few omissions, which were not serious.

Fan Xiao asked, "What's with these blank spaces?"

“Master, the blank space represents missing information from the past. Your psychic energy eliminates traces at the conceptual level, which affects the integrity of the past information.”

Xiao Zhen immediately began to flatter, "Master is so amazing! You've already managed to expose some flaws in my detection at this stage. When you become even stronger and unleash your spiritual energy breakthrough, you might be able to completely block my detection. Master is truly incredible!"
