Chapter 197 The Original Female Lead Who Became Cannon Fodder (The End)
They cannot easily agree to threats and readily relinquish their power.
Lin Wuque's eyes grew even colder, and gray flames spread out.
Ruan Yunzhen held Lin Wuque's hand and smiled faintly:
"Everyone can go and think about it, and give me your answer tomorrow."
These people are capable of management; what she wants is the noble title of ruling over humanity, not tedious administrative affairs.
Rather than forcing them to kill a few people on the spot, it would be better to let them go back and witness the current situation firsthand.
She believed they would agree.
Sure enough, the next day, all of them agreed to Ruan Yunzhen's proposal.
There's nothing they can do if they don't agree; reality has left them no choice.
Even if they refuse the offer, the other side is fully capable of bypassing them and easily taking control of all the survivor bases.
All the superhumans sent to the Savior's base have become fervent followers of Ruan Yunzhen.
Now, only low-level ability users of levels one and two remain in the various bases.
Without these key personnel, the defense systems of each base have long been rendered ineffective.
They have long since lost the leverage to negotiate.
With the surrender of various bases, coupled with her appearance during the previous war, Ruan Yunzhen's influence expanded rapidly.
With the surrender of various bases and the victory in that epic battle, Ruan Yunzhen's influence swept across the entire human world like wildfire.
Her name is engraved on every rebuilt city wall, and her image appears on every public screen.
When people talk about her, their eyes are filled with almost devout fanaticism.
She was not merely a leader, but a being revered as a deity by millions of survivors, a salvation descending from despair, the first ray of dawn in the dark age, and the only beacon guiding human civilization forward.
The power of faith emanating from the soul was too pure. While these surging spiritual energies strengthened Ruan Yunzhen, they also caused her to begin to transform.
What began as the manipulation of love and desire has now evolved into the absolute domination of human emotions and consciousness.
She seemed to transform into a mirror reflecting the obsessions of all beings, capable of freely refracting, distorting, and even completely reshaping the deepest emotions within others' hearts.
Whether it is desire or fear, loyalty or betrayal, everything can be rewritten under her will.
Her every glance and smile could make the devout even more fervent and the wavering completely submit.
This is an invisible network of mind control.
Ruan Yunzhen gave this power a name – "All Beings".
Just as the Thousand-Faced Guanyin can see all the different aspects of human life, she can also manipulate people's hearts at will.
The breakthrough in power put Ruan Yunzhen in a great mood. In order to fulfill her deal with the world's consciousness, she prepared to accelerate the end of the apocalypse.
A complete cure for the zombie virus has not yet been developed, but we can take the lead in reclaiming lost territory.
In this war, hundreds of millions of zombies were wiped out.
Now, there are very few zombies left in the country, only a few crippled ones. Those with all their limbs intact died in that war.
Clearing out these zombies becomes very easy; all it takes is carefulness.
However, the land that has been reclaimed cannot be used directly.
The land was severely polluted, with mutated plants growing wildly everywhere, and remnants of the zombie virus seeping into every inch of soil.
The entire land needs to undergo thorough purification and reconstruction.
Even so, people were still overjoyed.
After all, this is their long-lost home.
And the matter of purifying the land is not far off.
Humanity has hope as long as it has access to the sacred spring.
...
The zombies within the country have been completely eradicated, but hundreds of millions of zombies still roam outside the vast borders.
In those places, many small countries have long since become zombie-infested lands.
Every now and then, wandering zombies would attack the border defenses, reminding people that the threat of the apocalypse was far from over.
Today, the complete end of the apocalypse is no longer a distant fantasy, but a reality within reach.
People began to organize expeditionary forces, advancing towards the border, gradually stripping the planet of its apocalyptic miasma.
Led by level-eight ability users, and with the help of newly developed virus-delaying agents, the expeditionary force kept the casualty rate of the human camp at a historical low.
This global war of purification is like the light of dawn piercing through the eternal night, reigniting the flame of civilization's revival on scorched earth.
In the second year of the expedition, researchers made a new breakthrough in their study of the spiritual spring water and developed a potion to restore supernatural abilities.
In the third year of the expedition, they developed a breakthrough drug for superpowers.
In the fifth year of the expedition, a purification agent was developed that could purify contaminated soil.
In the seventh year of the expedition, they finally developed a drug that could completely cure the zombie virus.
...
In the years that followed, humanity devoted itself to exterminating zombies and purifying the world's soil.
When the last zombie virus sample ceased to be active in the petri dish, a new era of human civilization officially began with the rising sun.
Ruan Yunzhen, who laid the foundation for humanity's counterattack and contributed the spiritual spring water, undoubtedly became the most legendary figure in human history.
She is both the final chapter of the apocalypse,
It also marks the beginning of a new era.
Her name is forever engraved on the monument of human civilization, becoming an eternal legend.
Her image has been made into holograms and passed down from generation to generation; her deeds have been written into textbooks and become essential reading for every human being; her figure has been sculpted into statues and erected in the center of every rebuilt city.
Humanity also designated the day she ended the apocalypse as Dawn Day to thank her for bringing new life.
Every year at dawn, millions of people flock to the sculptures scattered around the world, where bouquets of white roses and moonstones pile up like mountains at the base.
Those statues, cast from inanimate objects, were originally lifeless, yet thanks to the sculptor's masterful skill, they perfectly captured her flowing black hair and the silver glint in her eyes during battle.
When the viewer gazes into the statue's lifelike silver eyes, it's as if they can penetrate the barriers of time and space, personally experiencing the awe-inspiring majesty and the exquisite beauty that transcends all things.
Even after the passage of time, it still leaves every visitor breathless.
Later generations praised her not only as a great leader, but also as a guardian and inheritor of the flame of civilization, and an eternal beacon guiding civilization forward.
In the long scroll of history, her name shines the brightest among the stars;
In collective memory, her figure is the clearest imprint.
The name "Ruan Yunzhen" is forever etched in human civilization and has left a deep mark on the world.
It is not a simple historical record, but an eternal inscription at the level of world rules.
Just like the alternation of the sun and moon, and the cycle of the seasons, it is unchangeable.
The name "Ruan Yunzhen" has become part of the laws governing this world, shining ever brighter with the passage of time and eternally illuminating the inheritance of human souls.
