Chapter 880 Sin
In the summer of the Age of Gods, compared with the summers of the past, the climate always feels a little more pleasant.
The air is full of clean spiritual energy.
In the hot summer, the cicadas are chirping constantly, but hiding under the shady trees will not make the heat unbearable.
Zuo Xiaoling was overjoyed to see the sunshine again after a year. She stood in the shade of the tree and kept teasing the golden butterflies.
This is the change she got after the [One Day as King] a week ago.
Her soul was condensed into a complete entity, and compared to the Shinigami, it lacked some spiritual pressure and Zanpakutō.
As a ghost who has always lived with Tong Gu, she believed in Tong Gu wholeheartedly, so she also received the bonus of [King's Afterglow] and began to transform from a nature similar to [Earthbound Spirit].
Able to successfully break away from fixed landmarks and start moving.
Occasionally, there will even be a few children with good inspiration who see Zuo Xiaoling's existence.
This once again gave this ghost girl, who could only "move the wind and rain" on the Internet, a real sense of being alive.
"Zuo Xiaoling, let's go in quickly, it's still very hot outside."
He Yimeng seems to be very afraid of heat. The silver-white natural ARM on her ears is constantly emitting a shimmer.
She had a good inspiration and was able to see Zuo Xiaoling. The two naturally made friends, and they had a good rapport because they were full of expectations for the relationship between Tong Gu and Ju Dongli.
Nowadays, I often avoid the two adults and get together to try to stir up trouble.
Zuo Xiaoling hadn't had enough fun yet and didn't want to go back. She rolled her eyes and thought of a way to divert He Yimeng's attention.
"Did you go to the [King Ceremony] a week ago, Sister Yimeng?"
Sure enough, He Yimeng immediately curled his lips and kicked the stone unhappily.
"Sister Dongqi added a special barrier to me, so I didn't go."
After she saw the overwhelming celebration, the mountain city was still decorated with lanterns and the joy had not faded. She felt even sadder when she saw those lanterns.
She also wanted to be there.
Seeing that Zuo Xiaoling had stabilized and Yimeng, she quickly changed the topic to the direction she wanted to know.
"Sister Yimeng, the Internet is now speculating that the mortality rate of this [Awakening Trial] is probably the lowest in history. Many people also say that this is the last [Awakening Trial]. Does your family have any say? What?"
In fact, since the [King Ceremony], not only Dongxia, but also the whole world seemed to have exploded.
A large number of enhancements aimed at ordinary people appeared at once, and various unprecedented technological equipment were also distributed in batches by large companies and countries.
This made many players who participated in the [Awakening Trial] in previous sessions feel uneasy and believed that their tragic situation at that time was deliberately caused by the government and the top brass of the Gold Level.
He Yimeng is a member of Ju Dongqi's family, and most of the people in the front ranks of Baiyin are under Ju Dongqi's command. She knows a lot of secret information.
She looked around and whispered:
"Sister Dongqi said that the previous awakening trials were indeed manually screened. Many of today's technological equipment and special props could also be distributed in the past, but..."
Zuo Xiaoling's eyes widened. Although she was already dead, the news still made her a little shaken.
"It's just that there are some beings who don't want our [survival rate] to be too high, as that will cause some kind of disaster!"
He Yimeng only knew a little about it, and the word "survival rate" was a bit harsh. She felt that it was too scary to describe human lives in such cold terms.
Zuo Xiaoling had also heard about the survival rate. She was silent for a moment and suddenly said
"Sister Yimeng, let's go back."
Her high mood and enthusiasm seemed to have dropped in an instant.
"Ah? Don't you want to continue playing?"
He Yimeng was puzzled, but Zuo Xiaoling had already run towards Tong Gu's residence.
Above Tong Gu's room, above the clouds.
Tong Gu stood here, with Rao Gang and Peng Zu standing behind him.
"So, [the informant] is actually your subordinate?"
Tong Gu spoke, and there was no doubt in his tone.
After he entered the golden stage and became the true king of men, the truth of the world quickly emerged.
Including some things that have never been seen clearly.
For example, the existence behind [Avril Eva] in [Tell the Dead] is standing behind him at the moment.
The remarks made by the accusers that are difficult for ordinary people to understand have all been annotated.
Rao Gang nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, [The Reporter] is an organization that appeared under my instruction."
"The purpose is to serve as a restraining force to curb humans' overly strong desire to survive."
The silver-white information flow in His eyes kept flashing, as if he was recalling how many people had died under His will.
The ups and downs of survival rate are the choices made by the [Super Positions].
When the world fell into despair, they selected heroes to turn the tide, so that humans in darkness and despair could follow the heroes to bravely resist the [Game of Destiny].
But when various strategies, props, and even special abilities appear, and human survival becomes extremely simple, various strange existences begin to have an impact on the world.
Whether it is a crazy cultist who preaches death everywhere, or a crimson who directly crosses the barrier and projects his will into the "real world", step by step, the survival rate will be annihilated again.
It's a carefully controlled balance.
The ones who took action... were the real guardians of [this world] - the three super powers.
"Heh, if this truth is told, I'm afraid many people will collapse mentally."
Lao Gang laughed jokingly, his tone full of mockery, but he didn't know whether he was mocking himself, mocking the world, or mocking this miserable situation.
Peng Zu stood a little further away on the other side and didn't speak.
But what he did was no cleaner than Lao Gang.
As the [Super Position] who directly sits in Dongxia, the only Super Position who directly manages the country, he controls Dongxia, which has the most complete population density and talent gradient in the world.
But he deliberately allowed various factions to continue to develop and various sects to run rampant.
Even on days like [Awakening Trial], there would be death informers who broke into the portal and preached the terrible doctrine.
Even though he knew that his disciple Wuma Yuhe had gone astray and became a death informer, he still turned a blind eye.
It was not because he cared about personal feelings, on the contrary, it was precisely because Peng Zu was ruthless.
He neither stopped Wu Mayu from going astray nor stopped Wu Mayu from influencing more people.
He used the most brutal means of raising Gu, allowing Dongxia to waste its internal energy for many years.
In this environment, those who can break out of the siege, such as Wu Zhengyang, Peng Linzi, and Ju Dongliu, are naturally true geniuses with unparalleled talent.
But how many people know how many unknown talents are buried in this?
Shentu Yichuan, who obtained the enhancement of Zanpakutō early, Zhao Xiaoqi, who obtained the gourmet cells, and Shi Xiao, who was attracted by the demon god...
"Enough."
"This era... should end."
"We have waited too long, this time, we have to seize the day."
