In a world filled with silence and danger,
The entire continent showed no sign of life, only spirits of the dead drifting about in the form of ghosts.
The void twisted, countless lines converging to form a portal-like gateway, from which emerged two figures.
“This is a major mission world—Specters! A completely new world…”
Charles looked at the prompt from the God’s Space, his expression grim. “Any news?”
“Yes. That bunch of idiots was ambushed by the Hermit Society, the Holy Swords were wiped out completely, and the remaining ones are barely clinging to life!”
Lolita answered with an annoyed expression. “Even using an X-rank credential and world-level artifacts, they still managed to mess it up so badly. They’re truly a bunch of useless trash!”
“Hey hey… I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that, Your Highness Blood Queen!”
From a peculiar-looking walkie-talkie in Lolita’s hand, a voice with little vigor came through: “The reason we suffered losses early in this mission was simply because there was a traitor, but we’ve already identified him now. And… the Hermit Society has indeed been successfully intercepted here, right? With the modified time flow rate here, by the time our plan is set in motion, even if the real-world Hermit Society is destroyed, their elites will still be stuck here!”
“Oh? Has the Hourglass of Time already been activated?”
Charles’s face showed a glimmer of joy: “That’s indeed good news.”
“We’re on opposing factions. The key to mission success or failure lies with the Specter Lord at the center of this continent! The Pathfinding Powder will guide you here, please hurry—we need support!”
The voice from the walkie-talkie not only lacked vigor but also sounded somewhat apologetic, its sense of urgency making both Charles and Lolita turn serious.
Charles took out a blanket, on which strange runes were painted in bright red pigment. Once unfolded, it slowly floated into the air.
“This flying carpet is great in every way, except that it can only be used in mission worlds. To obtain it in the real world would cost too much…”
Lolita sighed and climbed aboard.
“Let’s go!”
Charles changed into a set of gear, his expression solemn as he pulled out some white dust. “Head to our allies!”
Poof!
The powder scattered into the air, transforming into a cluster of sparkling runes pointing in a specific direction.
Whoosh!
The carpet immediately shot forward, flying at an astonishing speed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wind rushed past them, but for Charles and Lolita, it was nothing at all.
Charles stood at the front of the carpet, his tall back exuding a sense of security, even in this dark and silent world.
“Lolita!”
He remained facing away from Lolita, his slightly trembling voice carrying over. “After defeating the Hermit Society, what do you plan to do?”
“Isn’t it a bit too early to talk about that?”
Lolita sat relaxed on the blanket, hugging her knees, her white, jade-like calves peeking from under her skirt. “Anyway, I’ll just continue being a reincarnator, wandering through mission worlds…”
“I mean…”
Charles hesitated for a long time before finally voicing the words buried deep in his heart. “You and your sister both need someone to take care of you… a reliable man!”
“Charles, turn around!”
After speaking, he didn’t dare move, as if awaiting a verdict from fate.
Behind him, Lolita remained silent for a long time, seemingly stunned. After a long pause, she finally spoke.
“Okay… fine! But you probably won’t like the look on my face…”
Charles turned around, his weathered face flushed with nervousness.
“No, I really like it!”
Lolita’s cheeks were also slightly flushed. “You finally said it, you big fool!”
“What?”
Charles gave a start, then his heart was instantly filled with overwhelming joy.
“Yes, I like you too!”
Lolita boldly confessed. “Otherwise, back then, I wouldn’t have chosen you…”
“That’s… wonderful!”
Charles pulled Lolita into his arms. “After this matter is settled, let’s… get married!”
“Okay!”
Lolita nodded vigorously.
The two lovers, completely unaware that they had already raised the banner of death, rushed toward the battlefield.
Watching this scene from a godlike perspective, Wu Ming twitched his lips, barely suppressing his urge to comment: “Truly… two lucky people. Even before a major battle, they still raise the death flag. If it weren’t for me, but instead the will of the great universe itself, they’d be doomed to a tragic end!”
…
World upgrades signify changes in many aspects.
As remnants of the old era, the Hermit Society should step off the historical stage after completing their task of cleansing the world.
This is the choice of the world’s will. From Wu Ming’s perspective, it meant that the fortune covering the Hermit Society had vanished, no longer favored by the world’s will.
Of course, in the cycle of reincarnation world, everything still depended on Wu Ming’s will as the supreme ruler. If he didn’t intentionally block it, the external fortune from the real world would still have an effect. The Hermit Society was currently in a streak of bad luck.
Though humans might consider it cruel to discard tools once they’ve served their purpose, what did it matter to the world’s will?
“The Hermit Society will inevitably be destroyed—not by my will, but by the world’s own choice…”
With a sigh, Wu Ming’s gaze shifted to the center of the continent.
There, a gathering point of specters existed. These strange beings in spiritual forms had even formed a small kingdom, ruled by a great lord.
Two reincarnation factions were engaged in a series of covert struggles surrounding this Specter Lord.
Originally, the situation had somewhat favored the Hermit Society.
But at this moment, subtle changes were quietly brewing in the shadows.
“Fortune!”
Seeing this, Wu Ming sighed softly and no longer paid attention to this mission world.
After all, the Hermit Society’s destruction was already an inevitable outcome.
…
Time passed quickly.
In the tenth year of the Dark Era, Cardinal Steven appeared at the Caspar Camp, deposed Jay, and crowned Robin, ushering the Church of Redemption into a new chapter.
Thanks to the divine spell “Environmental Transformation,” the climate and environment of the entire camp gradually shifted toward conditions favorable for the growth and reproduction of plants and animals. Combined with the improvement of the ecosystem, the camp’s development entered a peak period.
In the eleventh year of the Dark Era, led by the Church of Redemption, many survivor camps united, joined by various allies from the Crape Myrtle Federation, launching a grand expedition against the Hermit Society entrenched in Pandorn.
In the situation where the Hermit Society’s upper echelon had completely disappeared and morale was in chaos, the campaign proceeded very smoothly. Within just a few months, the backbone of the Hermit Society was completely wiped out, and the true culprits responsible for the destruction of the old world were brought to justice.
After removing this malignant tumor, Wu Ming suddenly felt the entire world’s ascension speed up significantly.
By the thirtieth year of the Dark Era, the main routes connecting Golden Oak, Pandorn, and Crape Myrtle were finally fully established. With the help of priests from the Church of Redemption, large tracts of land suitable for human cultivation and reproduction were transformed. Based on this, the population doubled repeatedly, and after the brutal dismantling of national barriers, the new humans no longer had any divisions.
By the fiftieth year of the Dark Era, a brand-new political system was established, encompassing the entire territories of the old Golden Oak, Pandorn, and Crape Myrtle regions, with the Church of Redemption as the state religion. The first president, however, was a citizen of Crape Myrtle.
After the founding of the new nation, the pace of the new humans’ world-building efforts suddenly accelerated.
Old-world technologies were comprehensively applied, and steam power was seamlessly integrated with the supernatural abilities of the gifted, forming a unique and novel civilization. After reclaiming the entire world, the new humans turned their gaze once again toward the stars and the vast oceans…
…
Inside a café in the capital of the federation.
“Angelina… what do you think of this world?”
A young brother and sister had ordered coffee and were sitting by the window, watching the bustling crowd on the street outside.
Wu Ming took a sip of coffee and suddenly asked.
“I think it’s great…”
Angelina smiled, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. As a Mind Witch, she originally had the power to slow aging, not to mention she had Wu Ming, a mighty patron, by her side. She now looked completely youthful, ageless and unchanging.
“So, do you prefer that divine realm or this world?”
Wu Ming continued to ask.
After the world upgrade, he no longer had any attachments in this world.
But if he were to return, he would inevitably face a series of issues, the most important being the God’s Space.
Some believers and family members inside still needed to be properly settled.
“Wherever my brother is, that’s where I want to be!”
Angelina answered without hesitation.
“Of course, I knew you’d say that…”
Wu Ming stood up, his hands in his pockets. “Let’s go! As long as you like it, you can always stay with me, living in my realm…”
In his heart, he quietly added, “The Yellow Court World could also be considered my domain, right?”
The two walked out of the café, strolling along the streets of the new federation’s capital. The pedestrians bustled, neon lights from surrounding shops flickered continuously, exuding a sense of peace.
“Charles, you rascal, sneaking off to the bar again!”
Coming toward them was an elderly couple. The old woman grabbed the old man’s ear, her expression fierce, though she must have been quite beautiful in her youth.
“I just went for a drink, Lolita, don’t do this!”
The old man named Charles cried out. “Everyone’s watching!”
“So what if they are? What’s wrong with me scolding you?”
Lolita replied without hesitation.
Wu Ming watched the two as they walked further and further away, a meaningful smile on his face.
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
Angelina asked in confusion.
“Nothing, just saw two old friends…”
