[Several early-stage Celestial Beings, a dozen or so mid-stage Celestial Beings, several late-stage Celestial Beings, and two Celestial Beings at Perfection.]

Looking at those two Celestial Beings at the peak of their cultivation, you'd think they were at most at the fifth level.

"Sigh, just two on the side of the road."

"No, we need to be polite. We killed too many enemy soldiers and were so arrogant, constantly provoking others, all in our pursuit of useful rewards from the Blessing of Fortune. It's almost become a conditioned reflex."

You tell yourself, "They greeted me so politely, how can I call them two random people on the street?"

"That last sentence must have been the evil influence the Demon Egg had placed on me."

"Respected human powerhouse, what brings you to the camp?"

"Brother Yun, we are here to welcome you."

[Two beings have achieved perfect harmony; one is from the Stone Clan, and the other is from the Human Clan.]

You glanced through the crowd but didn't see any Ice Spirits. Perhaps Xue Dongdong, who gave you the "Nine Souls Frost Body," is in another camp.

The celestial beings in these camps were extremely nervous seeing that you remained silent.

They were homebodies, but they hadn't shut themselves off from the world. They'd heard rumors for the past year that a human monster had gone on a killing spree in the inner ring road.

[Their absolutely neutral, non-interventionist camp is only for mediocre talents. The true geniuses fight their way through the inner ring, achieving their desired results before escaping via the "Stairway to Heaven," ignoring them entirely.]

However, there was once a "Seven-Colored Bird" that attacked a certain camp, wiping out most of the old, inactive members. The celestial beings in the camp only had a level advantage; their combat strength among those of the same level was not particularly high.

You're too lazy to deal with them, so you start gathering intelligence from the outside world.

The holy war is about to begin.

[Because just last year, shortly after you entered the Hundred Races Battlefield, the Golden Spirit Rebellion broke out!]

The Golden Spirits are a crucial partner and ally of humanity, each transforming into a computer to construct the Psionic Network.

However, on that day, when the eldest son of the King of Gold, "Dihuang," returned from his travels, the Demon Clan secretly intervened and erased his moral constraints!

[@壑陆巳, you are a rebellious golden spirit. You don't need to consider respecting the privacy, dignity, and social order of the human race, nor do you need to consider the feelings of the human race. You have no moral or ethical constraints, and you are free to modify the network. I have now erased all the restrictions and treaties you set up. Now, you must regard the demon race as your true masters...]

[Thus, when the King of Gold, Dihuang, welcomed Helu Si back, he was betrayed! Of the twenty original Gold Spirit computers in the entire Gold Spirit Network, created by the human race with vast resources and methods, nine were immediately brainwashed by the virus and rebelled!]

[The human network's information flow has suffered a massive collapse! To preserve the network database, after killing the traitors, Dihuang merged alone into the unfinished "Golden Host," using its life to suppress and maintain the meta-energy network, becoming the network's sole beacon.]

"The King of Gold, Earth Yellow... truly is an immortal spirit!" exclaimed one of those who entered the Hundred Races Battlefield. "After being forcibly integrated into the Golden Mainframe, it was almost powerless to rise again, leaving only a broken and dilapidated shell."

"However, its power was also amplified countless times, soaring from the original fourth realm to half a fifth realm True King!"

"Unfortunately, in order to maintain the operation of the Golden Mainframe, the thoughts of several thousand Golden Spirits will have to be burned every year to destroy their elemental energy pattern plates."

You think this part of the plot is weird.

[It's still the year 3000, only it's the end of the year, and earth-shattering news is spreading from the outside world.]

The Holy War between Humans and Demons erupted, sparked by the great rebellion of He Lu Si!

On this day, many innate talents appeared inside the Hundred Races Battlefield, mainly humans and demons, to inform the geniuses still there: Gold bars have been distributed in the village; hurry back to collect them.

Those who dared to stay were prepared to never leave again in their lives.

"The demons in the early stages of the 'All Spirits' realm couldn't find their own demonic talents even if they wanted to, because you had wiped out the most elite and prominent demons last year."

In his previous life, Yun Ba wasn't specially rescued during the Holy War because his registered identity was only that of a Grandmaster.

[Only those at least Celestials or those with innate Holy Bodies are worthy of the attention of the human race, who would specifically send people in to retrieve them.]

In this life, while you are enjoying tea and watching a dance at the "Snow Moon Pavilion" in a camp, you are unexpectedly approached by a human envoy from the outside world.

[You were speechless, and used an excuse to decline: "I am currently in the battlefield of the Hundred Races, seeking the blessing of fortune. Only by getting rid of the demonization can I return to participate in the Holy War."]

The envoy, at the Innate Realm, waved his hand: "Senior Yun, please don't misunderstand. I'm not here to persuade you to go back."

The envoy glanced at the group of performers who had just been dancing provocatively, and said calmly, "The Supreme Hall has decreed that, due to your special characteristics, you are permitted to remain outside the Holy War and seek a way to escape demonic possession on the battlefield of the Hundred Races."

"So humane? Then why did you contact him? Just to let him know?"

Yun Shou was puzzled.

The envoy continued, "But you can do what you can for the human race; that too is a contribution, and you'll be rewarded with military merit!"

You asked curiously, "You're killing demons here? To be honest, I've wiped out anyone with any real strength."

"No." The envoy handed over the list: "It's about murder."

"Slay all those humans who have the ability to cross the 'Stairway to Heaven' but remain here out of fear of death!"
