Refined in an instant

At this point, the Emperor of Humanity suddenly smiled with interest.

"This is the famous Nine Kings’ Campaign Against the Emperor in the turbulent history of the Defiled World!"

"In this Defiled World, history still exists?!"

Jiang Yuu was surprised.

History—it's a symbol of Order and civilization!

The fact that they can record history shows that they are capable of self-development.

"Do not view this Defiled World as a source of chaos that only knows how to plunder cultivation, destroy Pure Land, and pollute all realms."

"This enemy is far too simple; how could they possibly have driven us to this point?"

"It appeared in the initial Defiled World, and after it conquered the Nine Great Pure Lands and occupied the known territories Beyond Transcendence, without powerful external enemies or objects to plunder, its own 'society' formed within the Defiled World."

Why is that?

Jiang Yuu asked.

"If we can't get it from outside, then we can only turn to internal resources."

The Emperor of Humanity sighed and looked up at the endless gray haze beyond the Yuanshi Divine Mountain, atop the golden divine pillar.

"The ten King of the Defiled World established ten sacred sites for cultivation throughout the entire Defiled World."

"Each holy land rules over vast territories and the endless, tainted Lower Realm."

"These defiled Lower Realm all practice the same normal cultivation methods and Transcendent systems as before, appearing perfectly normal, no different from the previous Pure Land era. However, compared to truly normal systems, their cultivation speed is much faster."

"Because besides normal cultivation, at different times, stages, and when they have different needs, they will choose to eat people to improve their cultivation level and heal their own injuries."

"They refine people into elixirs that can enhance cultivation and heal injuries."

"Great cultivators refine lesser cultivators, lesser cultivators refine ordinary mortals, parents refine their children, teachers refine their students, masters refine their disciples, and so on. And in doing these things, the question is never whether one can do it, but whether it is necessary!"

"From the perspective of high-level cultivators in this Defiled World, the entire world is teeming with walking elixirs of immortality; whenever they need them, they can simply grab one and refine it in an instant."

"For example, the Spirit World Holy Land, ruled by the Lord of the Spirit World, is filled with a large number of Knight cultivators and Wizard cultivators in its endless turbid Defiled World Lower Realm."

As the Emperor of Humanity finished speaking, a look of disgust appeared on his face. He seemed to no longer want to express himself with words, but instead pointed and displayed a picture in front of Jiang Yuu.

This allowed Jiang Yuu to clearly see that in a Lower Realm where Knight primarily cultivated their skills, those Formal Knight with Transcendent strength were the lords who ruled over countless mortals.

When a promotion is needed, they will select young people with Transcendent Knight Talent from their territory to serve as Knight squires, and after a simple training, they will turn them into essence of flesh and blood.

These Knight were often minor noble lords.

Those great nobles, that is, Grand Knight lords, would also summon their noble Knight when needed, have them line up in formation, charge at them, and then devour them in one bite.

Even more powerful Calamity Knight, capable of ruling a nation, will unleash Natural Disaster upon their ascension, stirring up domestic turmoil, and then impaling all the Grand Knight on the land with their towering Knight lances, devouring everything in their path.

The corrupted Wizard World is similar, only the methods are more refined.

Wizard will establish Wizard academies, recruiting Transcendent Talent Wizard disciples from all over the world.

The most Talent Wizard candidate was devoured by them.

Those with unparalleled Talent and special bloodline Talent will even fight over them, because consuming them greatly increases the chance of acquiring part of their Talent, thereby increasing one's strength.

Ordinary people in this Defiled World are actually the most normal people; the Power of the Defiled World have the deepest impact on those with Transcendent powers.

Some of these "end-of-days" worlds are actually normal worlds.

Therefore, those geniuses who thought they had discovered unparalleled Talent and powerful bloodline, while still feeling proud and dreaming of the wonderful life they would have after becoming Transcendent, were directly refined and swallowed on the spot.

In this Defiled World, those with exceptional Talent find it difficult to cultivate, because from the very beginning, they are refined into a great medicine of flesh and blood essence.

In comparison, those mortals with slightly less Talent have a higher survival rate; at least they are refined into flesh and blood medicine only after they have achieved success in their cultivation.

Inside the Wizard Academy.

All the Wizard in the academy are considered elixirs of Legendary Wizard, while the Grand Wizard see all the Wizard in the Wizard tower as mere consumables for their advancement.

Jiang Yuu's face darkened after reading this.

"These people are utterly shameless and filthy."

The Emperor of Humanity nodded in agreement.

"The pollution of this Defiled World disrupts ethical norms, justice, and the rule of law."

"What's disrupted is the normal world system, dragging the entire world into Abyss of filth."

"You see, the ultimate goal of these cultivators in the Lower Realm of this Defiled World is also to Ascension to the Upper Realm, but even if Upper Realm Ascension, their final outcome is to become the possessions of the King of the Defiled World."

"After suffering severe injuries in his battle with Emperor Yuanshi, the Lord of the Azure World almost completely refined everyone in the Azure World Upper Sect into elixirs to recover himself."

"Completely inhuman."

Therefore, in this Defiled World...

"Only by becoming the King of the Defiled World can one escape the fate of being eaten at any moment."

How do you know this?

Jiang Yuu You asked curiously.

The Emperor of Humanity coughed lightly.

"During a lull in the war against the Defiled World, I once secretly infiltrated the region where the Defiled World resided, entering the Lower Realm they ruled, and selecting some virtuous mortals with powerful Talent from these corrupted worlds."

"Then I shielded them from the pollution of Transcendent powers in this Defiled World, concealed their unparalleled Talent, helped them cultivate into powerful beings, and restored order to their own world."

"At the time, we did this because we felt the battle on the main battlefield was at a stalemate, so we wanted to see if there was a way to overthrow the Defiled World from within."

Jiang Yuu this, which means that the Emperor of Humanity also has experience as a system.

"Unfortunately, even with my help, one person's strength is still too small in the face of the overwhelming force of the tide."

"Everyone I've helped has met a tragic end; they don't even make it to where we are, but are ultimately consumed or swallowed up by the Defiled World."

"This is the inhumane social system operating in this Defiled World. If you are interested in the future, you can go and see for yourself."

"Now, let's return to the Nine Kings’ Campaign Against the Emperor."

Here, the Emperor of Humanity suddenly laughed.

"By the way, the reason why the Lord of the Azure World didn't show up for this campaign is because she was afraid that she would be devoured and refined by the other nine King of the Defiled World before she could kill the Yuanshi due to her serious injuries."

"Now that I've said that, you probably understand."

"Why is it that the nine King of the Defiled World, who are only slightly inferior to the Transcendence One, have been unable to defeat His Emperor Yuanshi for such a long time?"
