The Four Factions

Li Yao was actually quite surprised when he heard that there were defectors among the Wallfacers.

It's like a lowly Chunin soldier in Konoha hearing that the genius player Itachi killed his entire clan and then defected to become a rogue ninja—it feels rather bizarre and strange. Why would someone like that defect?

Although the work of the Wallfacers is very risky, the internal atmosphere is quite good, the salary and benefits are excellent, and they enjoy various privileges in their daily lives.

Just as Feng Li said:

Countless independent cultivators would do anything to sneak into the Wallfacer Organization and obtain a formal position.

Even the various powerful factions all want to join the Wallfacers to gain prestige, and they are scheming to expand their voice in the Wallfacer Organization in order to consolidate their own power and status.

Therefore, Li Yao couldn't understand it.

He asked, "There's a traitor among you... I thought a noble organization like yours, with its good benefits, good treatment, and good atmosphere, wouldn't have something like this happen."

Just like Papa Ma Yun said:

Why would someone want to resign?

Either they're unhappy with their work or they're not getting paid enough.

Big Sis Feng Li, sprawled on the sofa, said nonchalantly, "Don't talk nonsense! Our organization is still very clean!"

How could something like ejaculating inside someone be possible!

Even if there were, they would be internal relationships and approved by the organization! And how could it possibly be "us"?!

You've used the wrong words, kid!

Li Yao: "???"

Was he caught in a speeding car accident?

never mind,

None of that matters.

After all, she's Big Sis Feng Li!

After finishing her Big Sis Feng Li shook her head and said, "This matter has to start with the nature of humanity. Currently, the Esper World is divided into four major factions based on human nature. Do you know which four they are?"

Li Yao thought for a moment and replied, "Pigeon Spirit, Lemon Beast, Repeater, and True Fragrance Monster?"

Big Sis Feng Li: "..."

Can you be serious for once?!

Big Sis Feng Li rolled her eyes. "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Yao shrugged. "Then why are you asking me?"

What are you showing off for!

Big Sis Feng Li reached to the side, not finding her two-meter-long Pudao, and shook her hand with a hint of regret, saying, "Based on the differentiation of human groups, there are now four factions in the Esper World..."

As Big Sis Feng Li recounted her story, Li Yao gained a deeper understanding of the extraordinary side of Earth.

These four factions are the "Advent Faction," the "Fusion Faction," the "Apocalypse Faction," and the "Dominion Faction."

Feng Li said, "Most of the Advent Faction are religious fanatics or so-called 'high-level intellectuals' who are disappointed with humanity and feel that humanity needs to be shepherded and educated. Through their excavation and understanding of ancient extraordinary civilizations, they believe that alien civilizations in the subspace are more advanced than humans, and that humans should accept their teachings and be tamed in order to complete their own moral and instinctual upgrades."

Li Yao: "... Is this because you're used to kneeling and feel uncomfortable without a master?"

Wake up! Simps will only end up with nothing!

Feng Li tilted his head. "Actually, their theory is quite self-consistent. Never mind, let's move on to the next one. Most of the members of the Fusion Faction are scientific and technical personnel. Through various experiments, they discovered that alien powers can actually be used by humans, so they proposed the 'Species Fusion Theory' and developed it into 'Transspecies Equality.'"

This faction believes that the Earth should be more inclusive and diverse.

They even call Earth's current era the "Iron Age," wanting to restore the "Golden Age" of mythology where humans and gods coexisted.

Putting aside the last sentence, Li Yao felt that this Fusion Faction did have some merit—that was roughly the situation in the Main World.

Feng Li continued, "And recently, a very niche faction has emerged within this group called the ' Philanthropy Faction.' They're mostly a bunch of saints who demand rights for subspace alien races, guarantees for their lives, and so on... They even made a movie called something like * the Shape of Water * to promote 'transspecies egalitarianism'? I haven't seen it, anyway."

Li Yao: "..."

That's utterly idiotic.

Under the law of survival of the species, all talk of universal love is nonsense.

So-called tolerance, kindness, and benevolence are merely acts of pity from the absolutely powerful to the weak.

So Li Yao didn't know whether to call that group of "Philanthropy Faction" utterly arrogant or utterly idiotic.

After processing all of this, Li Yao asked, "What about the Apocalypse Faction?"

The names of the Advent Faction and the Fusion Faction can give you a clue, but what kind of faction is the "Apocalypse Faction"? Feng Li said quietly, "The name ' Apocalypse Faction ' comes from the Book of Revelation."

Li Yao suddenly realized. "So extreme?"

Feng Li nodded. "The Book of Revelation is nothing more than a curse and intimidation used by Christians after their persecution. However, they did have something to rely on, which is why they were able to intimidate Simeon for so many years. But that's no longer the case. Even their so-called angels have been captured and turned into specimens by the ' Order Union,' 'Mida,' and 'The Foundation.'"

Li Yao: "..."

Feng Li continued, "This faction is basically composed of elite intellectuals, or those who have suffered great social and spiritual trauma, have deeply witnessed the dark side of human society, and firmly believe in their character and mindset that humanity is dirty and irredeemable, and should be destroyed."

This faction has the fewest members.

But it is the most dangerous of all factions.

They are a group of extremely radical and anti-human elements who are dedicated to destroying human civilization by all means.

Among global organizations, the World Stability and Peace Foundation and the Order Union are dedicated to fighting against these extreme, radical, and inhumane elements.

Li Yao pursed his lips and remained silent.

Feng Li glanced at him and remained silent.

She actually understood that the young man beside her didn't really believe in the human race.

That's probably why he didn't join the Wallfacer Organization.

He has people he wants to protect, and a life he wants to protect.

But they probably don't have the energy to maintain anything else.

Because humans are inherently deformed and contradictory.

Good and evil have never been opposites for humankind, but rather two sides of the same coin. They are inseparable and cannot be discarded. Good is kind and sweet, yet also vicious and ruthless... It makes people love it so much, yet also hate it so much!

Amid this contradiction, some choose to completely abandon their human identity and betray their original class, transforming into a poisonous blade more vicious and terrifying than the evil of human nature, stabbing their former tribe in the back!

If the human race were to become extinct, then the shame that humanity has inflicted upon itself would also vanish.

They will be freed and can finally die peacefully.

Others chose a thorny path of education and constantly gathered like-minded partners to work together to accomplish this task.

While they are fighting against the extreme evil of this world, they are also fighting against the immense ignorance of all humanity.

But most people, like Boss Li, chose to mind their own business.

They only protect what they care about, and only care about those who care about them.

This behavior is hardly noble.

But you can't say he's wrong.

Because only those who have truly experienced hardship and despair know that there are just too many people like that in this world...

Even if it's just about being alive,

They had already given it their all.

This is the first update. Many readers have raised a lot of questions, but that's okay. I will answer them slowly. I have a relatively self-consistent world based on myself. Thank you for liking and appreciating my world. I really, really, really love you all... I hope you enjoy reading.
