After overall statistics, the main loss was the inner world, which was shattered by the aftershocks. However, the Jianmu tree is already being repaired, so the problem is not too serious. All the damaged plants and animals will have to be transported back from the outside, which is within Xu Le's tolerance.
Xu Le sensed the situation of the saints, but he had lost interest in watching the show any longer. He had basically plundered everything and could leave now.
The spirit list in his hand flew through the air, while Xu Le himself divided up an area and began to construct the divine kingdom where these saints would stay. After all, only by maintaining enough mystery would these people continue to uphold their faith until they were transformed into true saints. At that time, nothing could shake their faith.
Just as Xu Le was constructing his false divine kingdom, crimson divine light quietly arrived beside Liu Yanyan's coffin, transforming into a phantom.
Her face was obscured; one could only vaguely discern that she was a woman, the very same powerful figure who had attacked earlier.
Her gaze pierced through space, looking at Xu Le who was constructing a divine kingdom. A seven-colored halo appeared behind her head, and countless worlds were destroyed and born within the halo, endlessly cycling like an endless cycle of reincarnation.
"So they've finally returned. They've already failed with the Path of Ruthlessness; there's no need to try again, especially since they're practically becoming puppets anyway..."
Her voice was ethereal, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. But when her gaze fell upon Liu Yanyan in the coffin, a mocking glint appeared in her eyes as she chuckled:
"This is truly a shoddy production. What you create using this method is nothing more than an ordinary zombie with no potential. Even if it cultivates for ten thousand years, it might not be able to become an immortal. Do you really think you can create a Drought Demon using some low-level world essence? You're too naive. But since I've seen it, I'll lend you a hand. It just so happens that I killed a Drought Demon who dared to provoke me thirty thousand years ago and took her heart!"
Bang bang bang!
The woman waved her sleeve, and a huge, bright red heart appeared. Four chains made of black flames wrapped around the heart, locking it firmly, but they could not stop it from beating powerfully in the air, making a dull sound.
The temperature around them rose instantly, and the tender green plants that had just died on the grass quickly lost moisture, turning dry and yellow. They were then ignited by an invisible flame, sparking tiny flames.
The moisture in the air mysteriously disappeared or was dispersed. Just as the power of the drought was fluctuating and preparing to spread throughout the inner world, the woman gently touched it, and the Drought Demon's heart instantly became calm. Under her control, it flew into the coffin, radiating red light and slowly merging with Liu Yanyan. As soon as the true power of the Drought Demon appeared, it instantly dispelled the law of fire. Like an emperor, all the yin energy was under its command, obedient like a tamed dog, and began to systematically transform Liu Yanyan's body.
"Don't let me down, after all..."
With a sigh, the woman's illusory image slowly dissipated, and an eternal white light swept across, completely erasing any trace she left behind.
Everything returned to calm...

Me, a salted fish
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
I've finally finished writing about the male protagonist's transformation. Many people felt his changes were too rapid and unrealistic, but putting myself in his shoes didn't give me that impression. Although he studied Qi magic for six months, he didn't have enough knowledge and power to control it, especially after obtaining the twelve talismans and achieving instant power. At this point, his humanity began to slowly disappear; he started to see himself as a god or immortal. I think if someone suddenly gains immense power, either their inner desires swell (like world manipulation) or their mentality changes, leading to disregard for humanity and viewing themselves as superior beings. I feel that it's practically impossible for someone to gain power without any emotional fluctuation, continuing to live like an ordinary person. Because, from a normal person's perspective, if you had such immense power, would you still want to be ordinary? At that moment, inner desires would naturally swell.
Many people couldn't stand the part where the male protagonist used Liu Yanyan as a pawn. But when I put myself in the male protagonist's shoes, that ruthless perspective, there was no darkness, only the use of all things as pawns. He used the least amount of effort to kill the strongest superhuman. The male protagonist went astray very early on. After slaughtering so many people in the second world, he showed no emotional fluctuations, which shows that he had gradually lost his humanity. In the step of refining his heart, he originally wanted to condense the mortal world's Dao heart, but according to his character's thinking, what he condensed was a ruthless Dao heart, and it was incomplete. He was wrong from the beginning, and I also wrote it wrong. He had no teacher's guidance, no proper guidance, and relied on his own exploration to move forward. Even the deduction of the Heavenly Dao consciousness was close to the state of ruthlessness. Therefore, his ruthless Dao became more and more obvious, eroding his human emotions. After killing his only weakness in the illusion, from that moment on, he could only be considered Xu Le's true self, an incarnation of a Dao pursuer, not Xu Le's true self. His ultimate goal was the Dao. It can be said that he had almost become half a puppet of the Dao.
He broke free from ruthlessness and returned to human emotions. He probably won't walk the path of ruthlessness anymore, but his dark style won't change; he'll still be dark. After all, what I like is a powerful figure who experiences joy and sorrow, enjoys life, and is high above others, rather than a detached seeker of the Dao. With power, one should enjoy it. Perhaps countless years later he will grow weary of everything, but right now he is a human being, a person with power. Perhaps in the end, he will become a supreme god, but that's all a story for the future…
This is not an explanation or justification. After all, those who stayed after reading 120 chapters are all _(:з」∠)_. So this is a summary of my own work. Overall, I don't regret it and I'm quite satisfied with what I wrote.
This is my first time writing a book, so it's actually quite bad. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. (I heard some people are saying behind my back that I'm single... I've already left the FFF group.)

Chapter 144: Riot
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Lu Lei was not a good person. He was just using this to incite conflict between humans and superhumans. He performed a strange ritual in front of the camera and then began to explain, "The Heavenly Emperor created this world. He looked at this desolate world, so he created all things. On the last day, he created us humans. However, because we did not have enough ability to protect ourselves, most of us became food for wild beasts. So, at the request of the sages of humanity, the Heavenly Emperor bestowed upon us humans powerful abilities. This group of people is called superhumans."
Some viewers initially scoffed at Huangtian, thinking he was just a deity fabricated by religious believers. However, when they thought of the strange beings like the Extraordinary Ones and combined them with the mythological stories told by Liliang, they began to have some doubts. Curious, they listened attentively to Lu Lei's explanation, and their hearts were filled with more awe for this mysterious and great Huangtian.
"This group of people protected the survival and continuation of the tribe, making a huge contribution to the continuation of the human race, but they..."
Lu Lei paused here. This was not something he made up, but a memory carried by the power of the dragon. He saw that tragic ancient era and the Heavenly God who created all things, who ruled over all living beings, treating them as straw dogs, and watching the vicissitudes of the world.
Unfortunately, all of this was fabricated by Xu Le, just to create a high-class past for himself. As for the plot, it was all beautified and processed several times. The image of Huang Tian in his memory was based on the Gate of Myriad Realms, and that eternal aura could not be easily faked.
After all, human faith stems from awe of the unknown and powerful forces. Once this mysterious quality is gone, the inherent flaws of human beings will inevitably lead to unforeseen complications. Xu Le dislikes wasting time on intrigue and power struggles, so he directly uses the faith in the Heavenly Emperor to control them.
A dragon-shaped flame ignited in Lu Lei's eyes, and then his body began to burn, making him look like a fire demon.
"Mommy, he won't be burned to death, will he?" A little girl tugged at her mother's clothes and asked timidly.
The mother's face stiffened, unsure how to answer, and she mumbled, "I don't think so!"
The flames on Lu Lei's body seemed to be pulled away by an invisible force, slowly detaching from his body and transforming into a majestic fire dragon, a full ten feet long, dancing wildly in the air.
The fire dragon, following Lu Lei's movements, soared through the air, extended its claws, and finally dissipated into a ball of sparks.
"But people's hearts are fickle. After these extraordinary beings gained power, they were no longer satisfied with worshipping the Heavenly Emperor and attempted to act on behalf of Heaven. However, the Heavenly Emperor is supreme and would not care about our humble actions. But our behavior displeased Him, so He withdrew His protection. As a result, our human race suffered heavy losses and was often attacked by wild beasts, becoming food for wild animals. Fortunately, twelve warriors bravely stood up. They received the praise of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, obtained the power of the twelve totems, and protected the human race."
Lu Lei frowned. He heard screams, as if someone was about to break in. His mind raced as he quickly weighed the pros and cons, and then succinctly said, "Since His Majesty no longer favors them, the only way for these supernatural beings to quickly increase their power is to sacrifice the flesh and blood of ordinary people."
After speaking, Lu Lei stopped the flames behind the hypnotist and asked, "How much flesh and blood of ordinary people did you use!"
The hypnotist had long been prepared to die. He knew this was a blatant slander, but if he didn't speak up, he would suffer unbearable torment. In order to end all of this as soon as possible, he cried out to the camera, "Eight!"
"Eight people, you beasts!"
"Could it be that my child wasn't stolen by human traffickers, but was eaten by these people...?"
"My son disappeared ten years ago. Was it these beasts who did it?!"
"..."
The flesh and blood of ordinary people can rapidly enhance the power of superhumans!
No wonder the superhumans regard ordinary people as ants. It turns out that ordinary people are just tools for them to enhance their strength. How can they treat tools equally?
Even ordinary people who weren't initially hostile began to frown. Those who knew the truth tried to defend them, but the public, caught up in speculation, wouldn't listen and even started to wonder if those who defended the superhumans were also superhumans, since superhumans only possessed abilities beyond ordinary people and didn't look any different.
