Today can be described as the most unsettling day since the restoration of social order in the era of supernatural resurgence.
No one knows how many cities across the country are secretly filled with the smoke of battle.
A large number of Official Awakened are rushing to designated locations for encirclent and extermination, and even the police are cooperating to evacuate the public. News broadcasts urge people to stay indoors as much as possible to avoid encountering fugitives.
Yet amid such a widely publicized official operation, there is one person temporarily unaware of the situation outside.
"Cough cough cough... damn brat... does the taste of the [Blood and Flesh Sacred Beetle] not sit well with you? The consequence of destroying my physical body must be borne, right?"
The [Pioneer] is currently hiding in the depths of a remote forest, occupying the cave of so fierce beast, continuously tending to his condition.
Just as Wu Liang said in front of the [Ghost Valley Old Guard], the injuries of the [Pioneer] are far more severe than imagined.
Although there are no visible wounds, a rip deep in his brain threatens to completely tear apart his consciousness space.
The [Pioneer] is continuously mobilizing various consciousness fragnts previously deployed on others back to his physical body to fill the missing gap of this wound.
This process will take a long ti, so long that, as Wu Liang predicted, he probably won't find ti to deal with external matters before the second supernatural calamity.
"Why must you use such extre thods to save the world? Has your humanity been completely extinguished?"
At this mont, within the [Pioneer's] consciousness space, a figure identical to him spoke helplessly.
But the [Pioneer] glared at him viciously and retorted, "You haven't experienced the apocalyptic despair; you can't imagine the horror at the end of the second supernatural massacre! Humanity absolutely cannot survive!"
"Turning humans into Fierce Ghosts, is that really a solution? Losing everything that makes them human, does the surviving civilization truly belong to humanity?" The figure argued back against the [Pioneer].
He is Yin Qiming, but not the [Pioneer].
In the past, because the [Ghost Compendium] fused two different parallel worlds, a brand new world was ford.
In this world, due to the absence of the stone slab, Yin Qiming did not study history and archaeology, and naturally did not beco Wu Xiaoyao's favored student.
Yet so things can never be changed, for instance, Yin Qiming would beco a Symbiont.
In this world, before heading to the Tianshan Mountain Range to restore his mories, as in the original course, he encountered a Fierce Ghost and successfully survived to coexist with it.
Due to the peculiarities of Yin Qiming's symbiosis with a Fierce Ghost, the Fierce Ghost ability involving self-awareness was overpowering.
This resulted in the mory restoration reawakening the personality mories belonging to the [Pioneer], yet this new world's Yin Qiming's personality didn't vanish and still existed in this body.
However, as a newly made Symbiont, Yin Qiming was surely inferior to the [Pioneer], who had lived across three worlds, in controlling the Fierce Ghost ability.
So his self-awareness remained suppressed for a long ti, and at one point during the Zodiac Pig event in the Capital City, he almost completely fell into a slumber, sealed by the [Pioneer].
But by chance, Wu Liang traced the [Pioneer] along the network path, forcing him to liberate all his consciousness proxies.
When fully pushing the Fierce Ghost ability, it caused a slight lapse in [Pioneer's] self-control, allowing Yin Qiming to fully awaken.
Since then, the [Pioneer]'s consciousness and Yin Qiming's consciousness have been in constant struggle.
Because the new world's Yin Qiming lacks the [Pioneer]'s experiences, he naturally disagrees with turning all humanity into Fierce Ghosts.
"This is humanity's progress, civilization's advancent; the survivors will be the pioneers leading a new era! They will still be human!" the [Pioneer] proclaid proudly.
"Human? What aspect of them can be called human?" Yin Qiming queried further.
"Thoughts!" the [Pioneer] replied with an unusually firm tone.
Yin Qiming was too tired to continue arguing. Considering the long-standing debates on this matter, he could only express his frustration: "I never thought the old world's was so unreasonable!"
"Don't think Wu Liang has rendered helpless by destroying the shell I used to seal you! Sooner or later, I will beco whole again!" the [Pioneer] said gravely.
He did not shy away from acknowledging the body destroyed in Shenhu City was his ans to eradicate the personality of Yin Qiming.
After all, he still holds primary control of the main consciousness, and Yin Qiming's consciousness cannot normally control the body's actions except when influencing the use of the Fierce Ghost ability.
"Heh, I see that man nad Wu Liang is no less capable than you. Beware, if the [Blood and Flesh Sacred Beetle] fails to affect him, he might even overturn the [Promised Land] while you're busy nding your wounds!" Yin Qiming said with a fearless attitude, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
The [Pioneer], while continuing to heal his consciousness wounds, replied confidently, "He can't do that."
"The various bases and retreat thods I left in the [Promised Land], if not disrupted internally, cannot be fully discovered by the Official forces and Wu Liang's ans!"
"Internal disruptions are even less likely. You should know well how terrifyingly cohesive the [Promised Land]'s force is."
At this point, even Yin Qiming, standing from a position of justice, couldn't help but sigh.
He had to admit the [Pioneer] had a point.
As another consciousness in this body, he too witnessed the developnt of the [Promised Land] from the [Pioneer]'s perspective.
The unity of this organization is indeed extraordinary.
Everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for their so-called faith. Getting them to betray each other is no less difficult than single-handedly overturning the entire organization.
"The only [Ghost Valley Old Guard] that might have betrayed has already been erased by Wu Liang's hand. The remaining companions are kept in the dark, and knowing their deaths at Wu Liang's hands will only unite them further!" The [Pioneer] laughed sinisterly.
Crack—
The mont he finished speaking, an unusual sound ca from the brocade pouch carried by the [Pioneer].
The familiar yet exceedingly strange sound left him stunned.
This is the alert device placed on the high-ranking personnel within the [Promised Land].
When the organization loses a certain number of mbers, or if high-ranking personnel die, he would receive a warning.
This sound had not been heard for a long ti.
After all, the [Promised Land] had no major actions recently and mostly remained hidden among various cities.
Now hearing it in this sensitive ti, a sense of unease rose in the [Pioneer's] heart.
Could sothing really have happened outside?
