Company Vision

The six-armed, six-eyed sword immortal began to dance. His heterochromatic eyes and the jewel atop his head shone brightly, eleven dazzling orbs of light illuminating the entire hall like searchlights. Under this intense light, only a slender, dark figure could be vaguely seen, resembling an upright spider. His six arms wielded gleaming swords, whipping them into silver ribbons that gracefully drew circle after circle, like ripples spreading across a lake, creating a spider's web. All that was caught in this sword formation was doomed to be hunted and shattered.

The Moyun Tianluo Sword is a sword technique that Chen Sha deduced by combining the secret teachings of Ink Bamboo Mountain. Relying on the powerful Divine Sense advantage of her natal Gu, she can freeze the opponent within the sword net with her Divine Sense in an instant, and then kill them with a flurry of swords.

This wasn't a particularly powerful divine skill, but it was clearly a sword technique she was familiar with and used frequently. Its sudden burst of power was quite terrifying, catching the 'Jade Toad Granny' completely off guard. Those demonic children who had briefly revealed themselves in the shockwave of the explosion were instantly captured by the spiderweb, their forms shattered into pieces by the Sword Light and falling into the water.

She killed a group of people with her first move, and Chen Sha did not stop. She immediately fled, her body enveloped in Sword Light.

Sure enough, the next instant, the spot where she had just stepped was cleaved by a crimson rain of iron, shattering the mountains and rivers into dust. It was the drone gun emplacements hidden on the shore that had opened fire.

In an instant, the water was filled with the glint of swords, the hail of bullets, the roar of gunfire, and the towering waves.

Chen Sha moved about the battlefield using Sword Light, while the company's invisible demons continuously emerged from nowhere to fight. They were authorized to use weapons, including drones, sniper rifles, railguns, and all sorts of other gadgets, and they threw ammunition into the lake without restraint.

The battle was so deafening that even the fish-men a hundred miles downstream could sense the impending doom and scrambled ashore to escape. The waters near Yaoguang Cave were littered with corpses, and groups of shrimp and crabs were steamed and cooked by the rising steam. The scene was truly horrific.

Meanwhile, on Tianyu Mountain, the company system projected the battle against Chen Sha, broadcasting it live to Zheng Zetian from the perspective of the demons on the battlefield. The system also allowed him to adjust the speed and clarity, making him feel as if he were actually on the battlefield. This allowed him to see the abilities of both Chen Sha and the company.

Chen Sha's transformation into a six-armed sword-wielding form is probably some kind of 'second stage' or 'combat form'. Furthermore, with the support of her five natal Gu spirits, she can shamelessly use her spirit techniques to forcibly immobilize her opponent in a one-on-one fight, while simultaneously using Sword Light escape techniques to unleash a lightning-fast triple frontal attack to kill them.

In the face of such a chaotic siege, one can also control multiple flying swords to protect oneself, allowing for mobility and escape in all directions at any time, dodging the company's weapon fire. At the same time, one can flexibly use multiple flying swords to support the offensive and launch flanking attacks.

It's clear that Chen Sha's fighting style rarely involves any fancy moves or routine sword techniques. She would never make the basic mistake of standing still and casting spells in such a high-intensity battle, allowing herself to be sniped from a distance. This shows that her combat experience is indeed quite extensive.

Meanwhile, the company's demons, while providing long-range firepower and employing stealth and stealth techniques, evaded Chen Sha's thrusts and used various firearms to snipe from a distance, locking onto Chen Sha's location to provide the system with positioning and aiming assistance.

However, they clearly couldn't conceal their spiritual fluctuations. Every time they appeared or aimed, Chen Sha sensed them, dodged and moved in advance, and seized the opportunity to counterattack and decapitate them. Although some drones provided wide-range firepower output, Chen Sha had obviously received special training and could use her internal energy to protect herself and withstand the shockwaves of the explosions. She could even dodge artillery fire with her sword while simultaneously unleashing a counterattack to shoot down tracking smart bullets and exploding shrapnel. Then, she would chase after them with a Sword Light and destroy the fire support weapons.

So much so that, judging from the company's live stream at this point, it looked like a horror movie where some kind of demon was chasing and attacking the company.

However, Zheng Zetian knew he hadn't miscalculated; Chen Sha was in grave danger this time.

Chen Sha's strength was basically within his expectations. Two lightning strikes, two tribulations in the Xuanmen sect, roughly equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation, no more than that.

It wasn't that I looked down on her because of her short cultivation time, but rather that, from the perspective of the tribulation mechanism of ancient sect cultivators, the death hurdle that cultivators must overcome before receiving the third lightning tribulation is the first major hurdle of the ancient sect's Xuanmen. Only about 50% of people can pass through it. Chen Sha is not the kind of Dao child favored by fate. Even if she temporarily obtains some Cultivation Method, there will still be dangers in passing this tribulation.

Of course, if it were a system like that of Ink Bamboo Mountain, where a few decades of cultivation could catch up with the old-school cultivators' millennia of experience, Chen Sha could probably True Cultivator for 1,200 years and easily overcome any calamities. But as the saying goes, a new world has new rules. The speed of cultivation has increased significantly, but the calamities and tribulations have obviously accelerated as well.

This corporate catastrophe is going to be tough, after all, the demons aren't fighting alone!

From the live stream perspective, it's clear that all these demons are within the unified command structure of the 'Girl' system, communicating and exchanging combat information and sharing battlefield intelligence.

The company's system had clearly been collecting intelligence on Chen Sha for quite some time. A close look at the system's predictions of Chen Sha's moves and the accuracy of its target selection was ridiculously high.

These demonic beings, however, are not without combat potential. After all, they possess genuine Nascent Soul Realm physical bodies, wielding the power of firearms at range and tearing people apart as easily as paper in close combat. The only thing they lack compared to Chen Sha is combat experience.

However, it is precisely because of their lack of experience that these obviously newly formed demon children often fail to demonstrate their strength and make mistakes in their haste, revealing their weaknesses. For example, some of them are instantly killed due to mistakes in their escape techniques and invisibility, not to mention their inability to execute the tactics designed by the system.

Therefore, these first batch of demons were merely cannon fodder in the system's tactics.

Indeed, there are naturally second and third batches, because Zheng Zetian is not the only one who can see the live broadcast. At this time, the demons gathering at the Panshui battlefield from all directions should also be able to share the battle situation through the system, see the strength and fighting style of the target, and optimize their own tactics accordingly.

Many of the demons who came in the second batch were able to survive two or three moves before being beheaded, even though they couldn't even withstand a single move from Chen Sha at Oldest One. It was clear that the demons were growing rapidly in battle. The longer they fought, the more of Chen Sha's sword techniques and countermeasures the system would collect.

Those Nascent Soul Stage demons are merely bait and cannon fodder on the surface. The real killing moves are the drones and snipers lurking in the shadows. Once the system has thoroughly calculated the movements and sword trajectories, those lurking assassins will only need to fire at the target parameters.

Meanwhile, the system was constantly updating its tactics and strategies, dividing the subsequent demons into waves and echelons, setting up ambushes in all directions to prevent Chen Sha from escaping, and also deploying reserve teams to block reinforcements from Ink Bamboo Mountain. It's likely that Song Dayou faced a similar perilous situation back at Qingting Peak.

During the live stream, just as Chen Sha killed a demon and was about to escape, a flash of red light suddenly broke through her Fenji Sword Style, blinding one of her pupils. Zheng Zetian knew then that there was no need to watch any longer.

If Chen Sha had tried to escape with all her might have had a chance of survival from the beginning, but now that the company's encirclement has closed in and she's been shot, she's probably doomed unless a powerful figure suddenly appears to save her.

"You should have been able to wipe out Ink Bamboo Mountain without lifting a finger long ago, right? Why did you let them grow so powerful?"

The girl replied.

"Destroying the natives is not the company's goal. Subsidiary 49327's mission is to pursue the ultimate formula. All other plans must give way to this supreme mission."

"The ultimate formula? What's that?"

"Your permissions are insufficient. Please see the company vision and development history."

Zheng Zetian then switched the live stream to play an internal promotional video, introducing the series of plans and expansions undertaken by Wise Company after acquiring 49327.

Long, long ago, probably during a corporate war, the research vessel of the Scientific Ethics Committee, in order to avoid the battlefield, forcibly jumped into an unknown realm. Through the gap in the door, it discovered this dimension that no one had set foot on yet.

Unlike most parallel universes, this Earth is inhabited by insects, who possess a considerable level of civilization.

According to the pest management regulations of the Public Security System, this rudimentary non-human civilization needs to be eradicated immediately.

The Sage Group, which specializes in biotechnology, also happens to be interested in non-human organisms and wants to test biological weapons, so they won the bid and bought 49327.

The company used genetically modified synthetic beasts to eliminate the insects that had taken over the Earth, and at the same time transformed the environment to serve as a production base for genetically modified war beasts.

However, during the process of eliminating the insects, the company discovered that this sizable insect civilization actually practiced some kind of strange religion. The main deity of the religion was not an insect, but a completely unrelated demon god slumbering in a vast, dark abyss.

But as the insects began to fail in their war of extinction, they begged the demon god for help, and the demon god actually answered, destroying the entire insect civilization overnight.

The company was naturally intrigued by this alien weapon and began to explore the mysteries of the insect civilization and the demon god.

Moreover, progress was rapid; the first batch of 49,327 employees linked to the subnet all suffered mental breakdowns. All the chimeras lost control, began to evolve on their own, and even developed independent consciousness, evolving into a civilization that called itself the 'Spirit Race'.

However, the company's senior management knew they had struck gold.

In this world, and in the world beyond the door,

What else is the company pursuing?

What else is humanity pursuing?

Money? Resources? Power?

Wrong!

It's a human!

Human ascension!

Human perfection!

Human evolution!

What the Earth 0 market needs is not faster, higher, and stronger enhanced soldiers, nor beautiful, eternally youthful servant dolls. And certainly not those demon god figurines created arbitrarily using genetic technology.

Because those are ultimately prosthetic bodies! They are counterfeit puppets! They are fakes!

Those board members who maintain their youth in 'mortal' form through near-perfect gene repair surgery need and want to buy not realistic virtual dream simulations, nor pre-written scripts and life experiences!

Instead, it allows them to rise from being mere behind-the-scenes supreme rulers of the multiverse to being able to truly step onto the stage and become the true supreme rulers of the multiverse!

The ultimate formula!

For this civilization that has already used technology and capital to control the infinite Earth of the multiverse, the fragile consciousness of mortal beings and the frail physical body that must be carefully maintained in an eco-pod coffin to survive are the final shackles.

A higher-dimensional civilization, but lower-dimensional life.

No matter how much prosthetic enhancement, genetic modification, or intelligent assistance is used,

Human beings are all limited by an upper limit.

While humans can easily kill wild beasts, their very nature remains fragile.

It is possible to create a destructive star core, but humanity's true nature will always remain insignificant.

We can conquer the multiverse, but humanity itself has its limits.

The only options are to hide the body in a cocoon, the brain in a vat, and the consciousness in the internet.

To control metallic and non-metallic puppets to act.

Using electronic, chemical, virtual, and dreamlike stimulation to deceive the brain in the vat and get a thrill.

It's like a prisoner chained in a cave, only able to project his shadow onto the wall by the light of a fire. No matter how wonderful the shadow play is, it's still just a shadow that can't be touched.

Humans kill beasts, and want to become beasts themselves.

Humans created gods and wanted to become gods.

Humanity, seeking to conquer the multiverse, aspires to become the true master of all things.

Finally, in 49327, humanity discovered such an opportunity.

Those indescribable, inexplicable beings that can traverse the sea of stars, cross the void, and shuttle through the multiverse, and whose physical bodies can pass through 'doors'!

The Dao Ancestor of Tai Su! A Demon God from Beyond the Realm! An Unknown Demon God!

Want to!

This immense power is priceless!

We absolutely must get him!

And so it naturally began.

While modifying the environment, the original human genome was placed into this petri dish contaminated by the 'virus', and began to actively and passively adapt and evolve.

This is a rather long process of exploration, seeking the truth, experimentation, and trial and error.

The Immortal Venerable, the Profound Maiden, the God Lord, and the Nangong Seven Friends —each has their role and their own script. Although there are some crazy individuals who don't follow the script and cause all sorts of trouble, overall, everyone is still pushing everything in the direction the company hopes for.

Cultivation, evolution, research, experimentation, performance, sacrifice, slaughter, death

Finally, the Thousand-Faced Immortal was perhaps drawn in by the intriguing, hairless apes' wild dance on this planet in a corner of the universe.

It has arrived.

Then the Nangong Seven Friends appeared, and the company's exploration of the Tai Su Dao began to grow exponentially.

The reason Luo Sect is thriving is because the company needs to accumulate experimental data to explore the possibilities of human beings.

Although the Luo Sect perished due to suppression by the Xuanmen (Daoist sect).

However, the company still retained a large amount of data, such as the Black Lotus Sect, which the company also intended to preserve.

After all, compared to the cultivators who have already explored various paths in a special environment and evolved into almost another species, the genetic traits of ordinary mortals are closer to those of Earthlings and have more added value for development and utilization.

The core issue that the company has always focused on is identifying and selecting the Tai Su evolved human race through the Black Lotus Sect's experiments.

In short, after countless failures and restarts, one experimental subject finally succeeded!

The following content requires permission to unlock.

Zheng Zetian curled his lip, thinking, "So everyone knows the successful experimental subject is that tycoon..."

Let's switch back to the live stream. Judging from the numerous craters and pieces of flesh scattered across the mountainside, Chen Sha must have killed at least a hundred demons, right? However, she herself was also beaten down to only one hand and one eye. I don't know if she's about to die or if this is some kind of 'third stage'.

"Isn't your goal to obtain the method of enlightenment? Why don't you just come to Ink Bamboo Mountain to study? What's the purpose of these stress tests? It doesn't seem like you're solely focused on destroying Ink Bamboo Mountain."

'Girl' said,

"I was just carrying out a mission. Also, Zheng Zetian, the company recognizes your contribution to this mission; the bonus has already been deposited into your account."

"Oh? Is it over already? She's not dead yet."

"It doesn't matter, we've already tested our cards."

Then Zheng Zetian saw on the projection that a Blood River was surging upwards against the current, a mountain torrent flowing backwards, a sea of blood surging, like a rampaging red dragon, rushing straight into Fashuang Mountain.
