Chapter 565: The Mortal World with Problems
In the howling cold wind, orange flames jumped and engulfed the corpses that were frozen into green.
Last night, Zhang Yang became an orphan again. His uncle, aunt, and cousin Xing Yu all died, and the cause of death is unknown.
But this family was not the only one that suffered in the village. A total of 45 men, women, young and old died.
"It must be the black devil. The black devil has returned. It has taken away their souls and woven them into a black fishing net. Before the fishing net is completed, more people will die."
An old woman wearing a fur coat, a huge beast helmet on her head, and with strange tattoos all over her face and hands was whispering by the fire. She seemed to be the village's witch language elder, responsible for teaching all the children the basics of witch language. She seemed to be in a very high position.
Zhang Yang hid in the crowd, observing everything calmly. He was only fourteen years old now, nearly two meters tall and weighed nearly two hundred kilograms. However, among the Xing clan members who would be five meters tall and weigh eight hundred kilograms on average when they grow up, he was really petite and weak.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that in this small village, there are as many as seven or eight villagers whose strength is close to the demigod level.
But this is not a good thing.
Because this represents that the way of heaven in this world has become somewhat out of control, so the luck and merit have become tilted, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has fallen into a state of blind blowout or blind shrinkage.
The legendary description of gods walking everywhere and demigods being worse than dogs is actually revealing a fact: this world is about to collapse, no matter from which angle you look at it.
This can be exemplified by the world of the Thousand-Handed Race.
The Thousand-Handed People are powerful, right? However, in their mortal world, the highest martial power is only A+ at best, and there is not even a legendary level. But who dares to say that the Thousand-Handed People are weak?
That person was able to withstand the tide of mechanical zombies and still fight them with great success.
Similarly, in Zhang Yang's world of sword cultivation, the strength of ordinary mortals is actually gradually declining and shrinking. Even though a large number of Mahayana cultivators who have transcended the tribulation appear every year, the immortal cultivators who fly in the clouds are getting further and further away from the sight and life of mortals.
Under various cover-up measures, even the records of immortal cultivators and some of the immortal cultivation techniques that have been circulated have become strange stories and the kind of quack medicine sold on the streets.
In short, mortals should act like mortals.
It would be great if we could just reproduce peacefully and live happily all our lives.
Of course, this is also of great benefit to the managers of a certain world.
The first is the cuts in various funding.
Secondly, the consumption of various spiritual energy laws is reduced.
The third is that it is controllable. There is no need to send down immeasurable catastrophes every now and then to carry out treatment and reform. To be honest, in Zhang Yang's opinion, if a world has to undergo an immeasurable catastrophe to correct itself every once in a while, it can only be said that the manager is incompetent, the way of heaven is incompetent, and the ultimate growth potential of this world is questionable.
Therefore, it is very important to be able to control this operation.
This is also what Zhang Yang has been busy planning.
Control all threatening forces, and let mortals solve their own problems.
What? Worrying about encountering ghosts and monsters is just groundless worry.
There will definitely be monsters and demons, but if it were left to mortals to find ways to deal with them, it would be enough to show that the managers of this world, such as Zhang Yang, would have died or escaped long ago.
Before that, let alone monsters and demons, even the slightest supernatural phenomenon in the mortal world would not dare to exist.
The Tianji Hall, the Inspection Hall, the Punishment Hall, and various departments have multi-angle and multiple-level supervision. It would be strange if something went wrong.
Such a world is a normal, healthy, lively and vibrant one.
Otherwise there will be health problems.
Just like the world of the Xing clan.
Not only have mortals developed martial powers comparable to those of demigods, but indescribable shadowy creatures have also appeared. This does not mean that spiritual energy has revived or that the celestial spheres have converged, but rather that the disease is terminal.
"Brick No. 7, record important information. Once I die, archive this information first and send it back to the main body at all costs."
"According to known data, the spiritual energy of the Xing Clan civilization has revived. Well, the current level is probably the fourth stage. I'm not sure if the management of the Xing Clan has lost their minds or has been bewitched by a large group of orcs. They actually allowed the spiritual energy revival to happen and ferment?"
"Of course, I also detected an indescribable shadow that can directly plunder the souls of mortals, so I have an immature idea, which is that the rules of the game of this ancient god are likely hidden in the corner of the world. In other words, as long as our sword cultivation civilization dares to break that wall, it is equivalent to jumping directly into the hot pot. So, for the time being, we cannot break that wall. Even if the wall collapses, we will not cross it."
"But according to the game mechanism of this ancient god, the pressure we face will become greater and greater. Therefore, we must stick to the original strategy for 10,000 years, no, we cannot waver for 100,000 years. The outside must be stable and the inside must be clean. Every inch of new land must be bombarded hundreds of times with the Soul Shock Package and the Hundred Thousand Thunder Tribulation Package."
"Finally, I have to reiterate once again that you must keep a close eye on all the conditions that may lead to the revival of spiritual energy. The control over the 9,999 hidden sword veins must be in your own hands. Well, the information has been recorded."
Zhang Yang arranged the most important things of this trip, and then continued to eat melons and watch the show. Oh, no, he should observe this white land with a sad and confused mood. Will my future also be so sad?
Half an hour later, when all the bodies of the dead were burned to ashes, the village management on the other side had not yet come up with a countermeasure. This was inevitable.
As people were in a panic, naturally no one would consider Zhang Yang's behalf, let alone anyone who would try to seize his inheritance.
The wind is getting stronger.
The snow is getting thicker.
People are even hungrier.
Returning to his already cold home, Zhang Yang quickly made a fire and cooked a meal. This was a skill that his small account had already mastered a long time ago, so he didn't have to worry about being seen through. However, considering that the way of the world in this place was already like this, he probably didn't have to worry about anything.
"So, sometimes it's actually a good idea to set up an organization of antivirus hunters."
Zhang Yang sighed silently in his heart as he ate up all the stored food in a flash. Then he closed his eyes and tried to comprehend the basic witch language of the Xing people.
It is almost foreseeable that the black shadow will come again tonight, and people will continue to die. Although Zhang Yang's small account has completed the main task, it would be great if he could live a little longer.
But to be honest, even he himself doesn't really believe this possibility.
After all, this place is too remote, ice covers everything, there are demigod-level beasts and strange spirits outside the village, and there are unknown dark shadows lurking in the village, and he is just a child.
