Other People

All I remember is the changing colors of heaven and earth, the crimson shadows of demons, and finally, Song Shige, carrying the Zhanmadao that seemed to have absorbed endless resentment and become even more blood-red, emerging from the gradually calming energy turbulence, with the eerie source's remains crumbling behind him.

With the source suppressed, the mission was largely complete. Although the supernatural was Suppression, due to its long-term Corrosion and the subsequent direct confrontations between Survivors and the supernatural in densely populated areas, tens of millions of ordinary people around the world were infected to varying degrees.

Some individuals have formed a symbiotic or dependent relationship with the remaining bizarre fragments, gaining all sorts of strange and highly unstable "supernatural abilities." According to the mission requirements, these "infected individuals" and the "abnormal supernatural paths" they represent must be completely eliminated.

Although not many people had much conscience, since the Demon King had played a major role, they all wanted to take on the task of cleaning up the mess themselves. However, the Demon King remained silent and silently slaughtered tens of millions of people.

Then everyone understood, and they all said that the Demon King was addicted, and that no wonder he was the Demon King.

He calls himself the "Demon King," so his Talents and skills are probably related to killing.

Even the Demon King's blood-red Zhanmadao had turned completely crimson, radiating a murderous aura that made even the strongest members of his team tremble.

Finally, Song Shige felt the effects of his professional skills and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Suitable professions and Talents are often complementary. His Forbidden Class [Demon King] has a first skill that, like many other professions, is a percentage-based increase, and the second skill is a supplement to his Talent.

His Talent requires stamina to activate, so his second skill is: [Living Beings' Sustenance: The more creatures you kill, the stronger you become, and your stamina recovery gains an additional bonus].

Since the Trial Instance, Song Shige hasn't had many opportunities to kill large numbers of enemies. Now that he has a chance, he definitely has to seize it.

"In your Survival World, you must be in the top three, right?"

Song Shige paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "It should be in the top ten."

"Next task, [Civilization Selection]."

Before his teammates could speak, Song Shige began reading the contents of his wristband.

The content is roughly as follows: We will be placed in a special spacetime region called the "Civilization Arena." Multiple nascent civilizations with different development paths are placed in the same area to wage war. Our team needs to choose one civilization to support. Behind each of the other civilizations, there will be other Survivor teams under the command of the "Main God Space." Ultimately, only one civilization can qualify for either "advancement" or "survival." The mission rewards are highly correlated with our performance during the process and whether the civilization we ultimately support wins. The mission time is very short.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "Now you have a choice. Continue participating and enter the arena; or return to your respective Survival Worlds."

A murmur rippled through the group. The risks were obvious: direct confrontation between different Survivors, with the survival of their civilization at stake, the brutality likely far exceeding the bizarre suppression they had just endured. But the rewards were equally tempting.

Song Shige fell into deeper thought. He keenly noticed that this mission mode was significantly different from the [Ten Thousand Worlds] main mission that Su Luo had briefly mentioned.

At least literally, the nine advanced Plane on Su Luo's side are facing one powerful civilization, and there is no direct competition between the nine advanced worlds on the surface.

On their side, Survivors from different factions might directly fight each other, and the competition in the first phase of the mission will be much stronger...

"[Ten Thousand Worlds], [Main God Space]... These organizations, which seem to span multiple worlds, have different styles? Perhaps the fundamental reason is that the [Great Beings ] behind them are different? Or perhaps they acquire resources in different ways?"

Song Shige. As his thoughts flowed, an aura that was difficult to completely contain, a mixture of magical energy and pure tyrannical will, inadvertently emanated from his body.

A blood-red, ruined city looms in and out of view, seemingly floating and sinking...

A burly man beside him, a martial Martial Dao expert with muscles bulging like cast iron, suddenly shivered and looked at Song Shige in horror:

"This guy's Martial Will... how is it almost stronger than mine?! Isn't he Mana system?!"

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless expanse of dark red.

The soil was an ochre brown, soaked with countless layers of blood; the air was filled with the smell of rust mixed with some strange, putrid substance; and the murky sky was forever shrouded in a hazy, bloody light.

In the distance, enormous and indescribable skeletons lay half-buried in the ground, with scattered fragments resembling metal or carapace, gleaming with a cold luster.

This place is called the [Eternal Battlefield].

Jing Yunxin stood at the edge of a simple outpost built of some kind of black rock, gazing at this land that seemed to be both deathly silent and teeming with endless turmoil, lost in thought.

Her experience is quite different from that of Consultant Su and Chairman Song.

As someone with a non- Forbidden Class, yet she was invited across worlds by a "Great Being," based on her limited understanding over this period, such "special cases" like her mostly have Talent or a characteristic of their profession that happens to Attunement the special needs of certain beings. Including Gao Fu, who always sleeps.

She had never seen any other Survivors from the Survival Worlds. Ever since she was brought here by that magnificent yet vague will, she had remained in this blood-red world, following a "legion" whose number was unknown but whose discipline was so strict it was suffocating.

It was called following along, but it was really just an apprenticeship.

The aura emanating from each of the soldiers in this legion felt unfathomable to her—if she were to use a vague analogy with the Attributes of Survival System, their Main Attributes would likely generally exceed the extreme threshold of 21 points.

As for Jing Yunxin herself, as a high-level professional whose core skills are healing and support, her main Attributes have not yet broken through the 20 mark.

Therefore, she was unable to directly treat the injuries of these powerful warriors and stayed with a few relatively mild-mannered members of the legion who were responsible for logistics and emergency medical care.

She learned how to treat injuries in such extreme environments, to identify wounds from different enemies with various vicious effects, and to learn to use some drugs and energy channeling methods that she had never heard of before but which were surprisingly effective.

Just now, a phantom appeared and told her, "The trial period is over. Your Mind Nature, growth Attunement, and Talent are a good match. You are authorized to join the [Eternal Battlefield]."

Jing Yunxin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should I join the legion I'm currently in?"

The phantom replied, "No, you are from the Eternal Battlefield. The next stage of your mission is: to Resurrection an existence."

Then, beneath the blood-red sky, the petite figure appeared exceptionally lonely, waiting Jingjing.
