Reckoning

As his Eye Remains reconnected to the Spirit Realm, and he saw familiar messages appear before his eyes, Zhang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Having long been accustomed to using his Eye Remains, he was now finding it difficult to adjust to the state of being completely in the dark, unable to contact others, and unable to access information anytime, anywhere.

As the Spirit Realm was restored, the University City returned to order, and the first thing Zhang Yu saw was a series of Divine Light sweeping across the sky.

The Orthodox God appeared in every level of the University City with a quantity and efficiency that Zhang Yu had never seen before.

Every now and then, one could see a figure being disintegrated into a physical body and having its soul extracted under the infusion of Divine Power.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's heart tightened. "Has the purge begun?"

Zhang Yu understood that the school's higher-ups and the Orthodox God would inevitably hold a reckoning for the various acts of destruction, loss, and crime that occurred within the University City during the Spirit Realm Severance.

Once the various cameras are reconnected to the Spirit Realm, the videos stored within will certainly be reviewed by the Orthodox God one by one.

Countless others have been misled by the Demon Cult, and this will certainly be a key area of investigation for Ten Thousand Laws University.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: There must be many other people who secretly filmed the incident with their Eye Remains, and now they should be starting to report it on a large scale.

As for other things like the maintenance of the University City, compensation insurance for various material losses, and lawsuits and disputes caused by various conflicts during the Spirit Realm Severance... Zhang Yu could tell just by thinking about it how busy Ten Thousand Laws University would be in the future.

Just then, a series of documents popped into Zhang Yu's eyes. He had received documents from the Orthodox God, including "Learn Anti- Demon Cult Knowledge!", "Why We Oppose Demon Cult?", "In-depth Analysis of the Evil Nature of the Feather Transformation Cult", "Righteousness Endures, But It Cannot Last Forever: A Reassessment of the Social Cancer, the Unemployed Cult", and "On the Harm of Unemployment". Looking at these documents, Zhang Yu felt a surge of anxiety: I'm so anxious.

At the same time, a Divine Light shone down from mid-air, then swept across like a wall of light, scanning each person's body as if it were a scanner.

As the Divine Light swept over passersby, some showed no abnormalities, while others triggered alarms and were suppressed to the ground by golden hands.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu also became slightly nervous, but he knew that running away was impossible, so he could only calmly accept the scanning of the Divine Light.

As the Divine Light swept over Zhang Yu's body, an option appeared in his Eye Remains, asking if he was willing to accept the examination of the Orthodox God.

Zhang Yu readily agreed. His injuries had been treated, there was nothing shameful stored in his Eye Remains, and the information sent by the Demon Cult had long been deleted.

On the other side, Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, and their other companions were also prepared, having already made preparations while cleaning up the scene. Xiao Qingxuan even spat out his External Elixir again and regressed to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A moment later, as the examination ended, the Divine Light dissipated from Zhang Yu's body.

"Phew." Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "The basic check is over. There might be some questioning afterward, but we're probably not a priority and won't be interrogated rigorously; it'll likely just be a formality."

As the Spirit Realm recovered, a large amount of information began to appear on Zhang Yu's Eye Remains.

Many of these messages were sent after the Spirit Realm was hijacked, and they are being sent over a delay now.

Mo Shang Jin: Are you in your dorm?

Zhang Pianpian: The Spirit Realm has resumed contacting me.

Zhao Tianxing: Why are you all offline?

Ying Xin's grandfather: Can you see it? Is there something wrong with the Spirit Realm of Ten Thousand Methods?

Much of the information came from the Soul Cultivator within the company. After all, once the Spirit Realm Connection Soul Cultivator Ten Thousand Laws University was lost, it was as if everyone at Ten Thousand Laws University had gone offline, and the Spirit Realm and countless messages of Ten Thousand Laws University had also disappeared at the same time, as if a large piece of the world had suddenly been missing.

For Zhao Tianxing, Che Yufei, Hu Yuntao, and others who were still in the midst of an economic crisis, nothing was more terrifying than opening their eyes to find their company boss's profile picture turned gray.

This made them worry that something had happened to Zhang Yu, or that the company was about to go bankrupt.

After the Spirit Realm was restored, and with Zhang Yu's return to the internet, naturally many more people sent him messages.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Come to the lab and we can talk when we meet.

Director Gao: Go find your Master right away.

Zhao Tianxing: Mr. Zhang, are you alright?

Ye Xingli (Poor People Simulator): Junior brother, are you alright?

Seeing the constant stream of messages, Zhang Yu replied to a few of the more important ones before heading to the laboratory.

But as soon as Zhang Yu arrived at Magnetic Extremes True Lord's office, he felt a darkness before his eyes, and then the figure of the Unemployed Elder suddenly appeared, smiling at him, "Magnetic Pole, is this your newly accepted disciple?"

Zhang Yu was taken aback by this scene, only to hear the Magnetic Extremes True Lord beside him say calmly, "Zhang Yu, this is someone I specially invited to welcome you into the sect."

Zhang Yu looked astonished and said, "Master, how can this be? We can't join the Demon Cult!"

After repeated urging from Magnetic Extremes True Lord, seeing Zhang Yu's shocked and frightened expression and his continued reluctance to join the sect, he finally withdrew the projection of the Unemployed Elder and said indifferently, "You're quite clever."

Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his face still showing lingering fear, and said, "Was Master testing me just now? I was almost scared to death."

At the same time, he thought to himself: Thank goodness... Judging from the conversations with the Evil God, Master probably hasn't joined the Demon Cult.

Having confirmed this, Zhang Yu quickly realized, aside from his initial surprise, that Magnetic Extremes True Lord was testing him.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord looked at Zhang Yu and said, "This time, the two major Demon Cult caused chaos in the University City, and we don't know how many people have been misled. The higher-ups have made up their minds to conduct a thorough investigation, and someone will come to question you later."

If you have any problems, tell me now, and I'll help you solve them.

"I don't want to hear about your problems from other people later."

Feeling the sharp gaze of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord, Zhang Yu immediately said firmly, "Master, rest assured, I have never joined the Demon Cult."

After the Spirit Realm was severed, I went to the Office Area with Mo Shang Jin and the others.

Later, we encountered a battle at the Golden Core level, and we were scattered. After that, I hid with my classmates until the Spirit Realm recovered.

Seeing Zhang Yu deliver his prepared explanation, Magnetic Pole smiled slightly, patted Zhang Yu's head, and said, "It's good that you're alright. Zhang Yu, it's not that I don't trust you, but the Demon Cult Sect is full of tricks and is most skilled at bewitching people. I'm just afraid that you might be careless and fall into their trap. Remember, I am your Master. You can tell me anything at any time, and I will definitely help you. But if you drag this out until the Orthodox God discover the problem, then even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't be able to."

Zhang Yu listened to Magnetic Extremes True Lord's words with a grateful expression, nodding occasionally to show that he understood.

But he knew in his heart that he could only believe half of what the Magnetic Extremes True Lord said.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: Ordinary things are fine, Master will really take the blame for me. But if I really tell him about what's happening to me now, about the Evil God, it's hard to say how Master will deal with me.

At the same time, Magnetic Extremes True Lord recalled the various actions of the Demon Cult. These Demon Cult had inquired about the laboratory, attacked me and Tian Zhang one after another, and finally besieged the Research Department.

Dear readers, please search "Cultivation? Ain't Got No Money For That! is this?" on Bing to read the latest chapters. Your support is the biggest motivation for the editor to update.

Nine times out of ten, it's Demon Cult is interested in the experiments of the Spirit Transformation Method.

That is why Magnetic Extremes True Lord considered whether Zhang Yu, as the experimental subject, had encountered the Demon Cult.

Besides Zhang Yu, Magnetic Extremes True Lord will also talk to her other subordinates one by one to confirm whether they have any problems, so that they won't be exposed later and affect her path to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just then, Zhang Yu saw Magnetic Extremes True Lord frown, as if he had seen something in his Eye Remains, and his face showed displeasure.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Master? What happened?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord sneered and said, "Do you still remember Feng Yuhan from that Research Department?"

Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Pengji Zhenjun continued, "The Research Department was besieged by the Demon Cult, and this guy fought the horde of demons alone, protecting a large amount of school assets. He made a great contribution."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred again. "Fighting against hordes of demons alone? It seems the Evil God really believed the information provided by Fu Ji and sent people to deal with Feng Yuhan?"

"But did Feng Yuhan truly fight the demons alone? Or was he secretly controlled by the Demon Cult and putting on this show?"

Next time you go to the Dark Spirit Realm, you can find out what's going on.

Shortly after Zhang Yu left, Director Gao sent a message to Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

Director Gao: Are you alright?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: So far there seems to be no problem, let's continue to observe.

Director Gao: Sigh, after this incident involving the two major Demon Cult, everyone in the University City is living in fear. We don't know how many people have been controlled by these Demon Cult.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: I'm afraid that even before this incident, there were already Nascent Soul level figures cooperating with the Demon Cult.

Director Gao: Nascent Soul level?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: The Divine Path technology used by the Demon Cult this time is very powerful. The fact that they were able to mobilize two Deity Transformation Divine Lord was beyond everyone's expectations. But even so, without someone working from the inside, it would have been impossible to hijack the Spirit Realm inside and outside the University City so easily.

Director Gao: Who do you think it could be?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: It's hard to say.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: In short, it's best to be cautious in everything.

Upon reading the message from Magnetic Extremes True Lord, Director Gao sighed inwardly, as if he could already see a hidden figure lurking in the shadows, silently plotting something in the darkness of the University City.

On the other side, Zhang Yu was questioned by the Orthodox God shortly after leaving the laboratory.

As his thoughts led him to the depths of the Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu began to answer one question after another from the Orthodox God.

However, just as he had expected, he was not the main target, and the matter was concluded after a brief inquiry.

Yu Xinghan, Shi Huaiyu, Le Mulan, Xiao Qingxuan, and the others all insisted that they hid with Zhang Yu until the matter was over. The seven of them testified to each other, and in the end, they all came out unharmed, which relieved them all.

Just as Zhang Yu and his group of seven successfully passed the test, Mo Shang Jin, who was reportedly taken away by the Demon Cult Sect's Golden Core but later returned safely, became a key target of surveillance.

Su Yanyang was also suspected of being bewitched by the Demon Cult cult because he hid in the Cemetery and slept through the entire incident. He was sent to Disciplinary Leave Class to participate in anti- Demon Cult cult training.

After rounds of checks, when the rankings were updated that evening, Zhang Yu was surprised to find that his department's ranking had risen by one place, reaching 38th.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: What happened to one of the people ranked ahead of me in the Artifact Crafting Department? I wonder if they were killed by the Demon Cult when the Spirit Realm was severed, or if the Orthodox God found out about their problems afterward.

Not only Zhang Yu, but all the students who survived in the University City have seen their rankings improve to varying degrees.

Just as after undergoing a process of refinement, the surviving students all felt that their path to Immortal Dao seemed to have broadened.

Meanwhile, just as Ten Thousand Laws University was cleaning up the mess, the Top Ten League on the other side also came to an end.
