Chapter 259 - - 257 Desperate_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

In the name of economy, they wrought chaos, discussing the societal harm of the Seven Star Gate industry…

“The Warning Record” revealed the true key term associated with Wang Chong.

…

The Alien Warriors who had disrupted Wang Chong’s industrial chain were stunned by this news; their heads were buzzing.

After all their hustle, not only had they failed to weaken Wang Chong, but they had also unwittingly elevated him to the heavens…

This guy was too cunning!

The feeling of having one’s intelligence ground into the dirt was truly unpleasant…

The miraculous turnaround also unsettled those Alien Warriors who had previously sneered at Duge’s misfortune.

While they cursed their teammates who had botched things up, they had no choice but to join the efforts to restore order.

The warriors, known for their adherence to order, discipline, stability, and steadiness, used their own skills to persuade those citizens who had turned to banditry in the mountains to return home;

They incited wealthy landowners to initiate relief efforts, restarting the stalled projects;

They invented machinery that could enhance productivity to help restore production;

They influenced prestigious ministers to submit petitions to reopen the stock market and to buy up all the Seven Star Mountain stocks from the shareholders, helping them to cash out…

…

But spilled water is hard to recover, and how could a nation thrown into chaos easily restore order?

Their own influence was not as weighty as Duge’s; thinking they could single-handedly help Yan Country regain order was as futile as trying to extinguish a cartload of burning firewood with a cup of water, which only led to growing despair.

Thus.

They could only curse those fools who had made a mess of things once again.

…

One farce after another played out.

In a small county of Yan Country, a teacher saw the key term “chaos” on his personal panel and fell into deep contemplation.

A name suddenly flashed through his mind—Duge.

Before going to battle, his instructor had shown him a special case of an eighteen-year-old student named Duge, who had dominated three simulation fields with a top score in just one year.

Maintenance, trade, happiness—Duge had turned all these keywords into chaos.

He had even broken one of the simulation fields.

The teacher greatly admired Duge.

But his instructor had used Duge as a negative example…

At this moment.

Wang Chong’s actions were very much like Duge’s.

He was ninety percent sure that Wang Chong was Duge from Qiyuan Star, but he dared not approach Wang Chong for recognition.

He feared that if Wang Chong went mad, he might kill even his own people—which would be a huge loss.

After all.

With Wang Chong securing the top spot, it meant he could win by simply lying low…

So.

The teacher’s lips curled into a subtle smile; he quietly closed his personal panel, took out a ruler and tapped it on the desk, continuing to teach the class of young children before him.

Let it be!

From now on, he was a native of this world.

…

Meanwhile.

The Heaven’s Path Institute, Longevity Residence, Under Mountain Academy, Extreme Joy Hall, and other large sects also received the messages from the Alien Warriors.

The letters clearly detailed the detrimental impacts of the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance led by Wang Chong, vividly describing the humiliating process where Blue Sea Palace, Heavenly Demon Palace, and Lanning Temple were stripped and dismembered by Wang Chong, portraying him as a Demon Head of chaotic times…

The messages urged these large sects to temporarily relocate and to consolidate their strength for a collective effort to eliminate the malignant Wang Chong once they found a method to counteract him.

The letters carried effects of bewitchment and revealed that there were more individuals with special powers in the world.

The Heaven’s Path Institute and other sects immediately responded by sending people to investigate Lanning Temple, Heavenly Demon Palace, and others, while also preparing to move their bases and searching for individuals capable of challenging Wang Chong in these lawless times.

But for sects with vast holdings and significant affairs like the Heaven’s Path Institute, moving was not so simple.

Moreover.

Even with the influence of the letters’ abilities, it was limited to those who read them.

Decisions such as relocating a sect naturally faced diverse opinions and thoughts from everyone involved.

Some people simply did not believe that Heavenly Demon Palace could be taken over;

Some believed that Heaven’s Path Institute was fully capable of opposing Wang Chong;

Others thought they should not move but rather join forces with other sects to eliminate Wang Chong. Not just Wang Chong—they should eradicate anyone similar to him…

…

One is a tiger, three are worms.

Just like the alien warriors who opposed Duge.

Major sects like Heaven’s Path Institute fought individually, without a unified voice.

In the midst of endless bickering over response measures, the highly efficient Duge had already led people to their doors.

Then.

Heaven’s Path Institute fell.

Luo Cang, too, became a homeless vagabond, just like Niu Zilian from the Blue Sea Palace and others.

Upon hearing this news, Luo Cang nearly despaired. Having been chosen to join the Alien Battlefield, he was once one in ten thousand on his own planet.

But after entering the real Alien Battlefield, he found himself suppressed to the point where he couldn’t even catch his breath.

Constantly running for his life, powerless to respond.

If the takeover of Heaven’s Path Institute by Wang Chong didn’t seem much,

what followed, the public announcements issued by Duge through Heaven’s Path Institute and Yan Country, completely pushed him to the brink of collapse.

“Heaven’s Path Institute and Heavenly Demon Palace jointly issue a call to action, urging sects that have not yet joined the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance to join within ten days to discuss how to reopen the path to ascension. Those who fail to comply will be regarded as enemies of the entire Cultivation World.”

“Yan Country mobilizes its citizens to report on the chaos-bringers hidden among the people. After Wu Chong from Seven Star Mountain cleanses an area of chaos-bringers, he will reopen the stock exchange and annually take out 20% of Yan Country’s treasury to use for shareholder dividends and the construction of public welfare.

The characteristics of chaos-bringers are as follows:

First: Words and actions that differ completely from the past;

Second: Hostile towards Seven Star Mountain, spreading rumors unfavorable to it;

Third: Ordinary people who suddenly possess extraordinary martial strength…”

…

These two pieces of news utterly confounded everyone.

What’s happening?

Is Wang Chong helping to restore world order?

Wasn’t his keyword chaos?

He got tired of playing and is weakening himself?

No one would be foolish enough to do that.

So.

Chaos is no longer Wang Chong’s keyword.

Besides chaos, what keyword could match Wang Chong’s actions?

Change? Reversal? Turnaround…

But at this time, discussing what Wang Chong’s keyword truly is seems meaningless.

Wang Chong clearly intends to unite the Cultivation World and the common folk, exterminating everyone. If they don’t think of a way to fight back, there will be no way out.

To resist, they must grow their keywords, but to do that, they must expose themselves.

Once they expose themselves, they will be reported on…

Continuing to lie low would mean not getting exposed, an assurance of some peaceful time.

But Duge, with his back against the wall, once he controls the Cultivation World and the Mortal Realm, won’t he just flush them out easily?

No need for anything else, just the simplest method. Duge could follow the top ten list.

Killing them one by one, it wouldn’t be long before it was their turn.

Who dares to bet they’ll be the luckiest of the nine people to survive to the end…

…

It’s really fucked up.

They watched so many replays from veterans of the Alien Battlefield.

The lives of those predecessors were more exciting than the next.

Why is it that when it’s their turn to enter the battlefield, they encounter such a freak?

The most miserable are the examinees with keywords like freewheeling or low-profile.

To lay low would mean growth in attributes, to not would mean no growth, and possibly even a reduction.

That is a real dilemma.

At this time.

There’s only one sentiment left in the hearts of all living alien warriors.

It’s too tough!

The Alien Battlefield is just too tough.
