At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 642 New Human City
With Gu and Yang Lie's thunderous collaboration, the fortress of the Celestial Serpent Clan, soaked in the blood and tears of humanity, met its end.

The remaining members of the Heavenly Serpent Clan were all dragged out, and their cries and pleas for mercy seemed pale and powerless under Yang Lie's cold gaze.

He did not grant them a quick death.

With a flick of his finger, Yang Lie unleashed an invisible force field that, like the sharpest scalpel, precisely peeled away their skin and extracted their tendons.

These researchers, who were once high and mighty and treated human life as worthless, are now hanging naked on withered branches in the wilderness, letting the biting cold wind ripple through their exposed flesh and blood, enduring the pain they once inflicted on others.

Gu stood to the side, watching this brutal scene, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

But when I think of my compatriots inside the fortress who were transformed into "flesh plague," those bodies being dismembered alive on the experimental tables, and those countless eyes that went out in despair.

His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and the trace of reluctance in his heart was replaced by a cold sense of relief.

For these executioners whose hands are stained with the blood of their compatriots, any punishment seems justified.

However, the physical torture was only the beginning.

As these celestial serpents, their consciousness fading and dying in excruciating pain, were shocked to discover that they had not vanished into nothingness.

Their souls left their bodies, and the light and shadows before their eyes shifted, revealing them to a magnificent and wondrous world.

Here, flowers bloom everywhere, and palaces stand majestically, like a divine kingdom.

After a brief moment of astonishment, a morbid fanaticism appeared on the faces of these researchers.

They died, but their souls reached a new dimension! This is a leap in life form! It is the ultimate mystery!
Before they could even begin to explore the laws of this new world, the scene before them twisted and shattered once more.

Flowers and palaces vanished like bubbles, replaced by an endless void.

In the very center of the void, an indescribably enormous wheel was slowly turning, ancient and majestic, exuding an aura of judgment upon all things.

It is the innate spiritual treasure, the Reincarnation Disc.

When the deep light of the Wheel of Reincarnation shone upon the souls of these Celestial Serpents, their sins from their previous lives were materialized, transforming into scarlet, viscous marks that were imprinted on the very essence of their souls.

"No! What is this?"

A member of the Celestial Serpent Clan looked at the thick, inky mark of sin on his soul, his face instantly turning deathly pale, and he let out a terrified scream.

That was their karma, the cause they planted, and now the consequences are manifesting.

"What crime have we committed!"

"We are simply cleaning up those lowly humans! They are the forsaken of heaven and earth, the dust of the universe! We are cleaning up the garbage for the world; we have done nothing wrong!"

Another soul roared hysterically, "Before the rules of heaven and earth changed, only the killing of all races by humans was a sin!"

His shouts failed to stir even a ripple in the deathly silence of the void. The only response was the increasingly heavy turning of the Wheel of Reincarnation.

A cold, merciless beam of light shot out from the plate, instantly piercing through all the clamoring and struggling souls.

They were drawn by an irresistible force and plunged directly into a new dimension—the Frozen Hell—opened up by Zhang Qi using the power of the Samsara Disc.

There, they will face endless freezing and torment.

At the very moment these souls fell into hell, on the primordial continent, whether it was the ancient races that lived in seclusion or the powerful overlords who roamed freely, countless beings of all races felt an indescribable sense of unease.

It felt as if some supreme rule had been triggered, bringing with it the chill of death.

But this feeling came quickly and went quickly, as if it were just an illusion, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

……

On the desolate wilderness, Yang Lie withdrew his gaze, his deep eyes remaining calm.

He turned around and led Gu, Jun, and dozens of his rescued compatriots on their journey back to the human city.

Such a large human force would undoubtedly be a conspicuous target in the wilderness where countless races roam.

Soon, scouts from various races appeared on the horizon. But when they saw the man at the head of the group, dressed in a black military overcoat with a cold expression, all their greed and malice instantly turned into fear.

They dared not approach, or even look too closely, but merely followed from a distance before quietly retreating, letting the group leave safely.

Gu observed all of this, his heart filled with doubt. He could sense that Yang Lie was very strong, but to the point that all races would flee in terror, this went beyond the mere threat of strength.

"It's his 'immortality' characteristic."

Yang Lie is a 'foot man'; theoretically, as long as his consciousness remains, he can resurrect indefinitely.

"The Celestial Serpent Clan's technological prowess in the field of biological genes is unparalleled among all races."

They can manipulate the genetic material of life, namely DNA, at will, and even directly interfere with the soul.

Even they, after spending a whole year and using every conceivable method, still couldn't unravel the secret of Yang Lie's 'immortality'. In the end, they could only resort to the most primitive method: sealing all his senses in an absolute void, preventing him from perceiving 'death' and thus stopping his resurrection.

Seemingly noticing his confusion, Jun explained softly from the side.

Gu suddenly realized.

An unkillable top-tier expert is an endless nightmare for any enemy.

During the journey, Yang Lie would occasionally ask Gu about his master, "Qi".

When he learned that this former deputy leader of humanity was now using the alias "Qi" to quietly teach human knowledge and spread the seeds of civilization in a remote tribe, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

“Your master…he has his own considerations.”

Yang Lie pondered for a moment, then solemnly instructed Gu…
"Do not mention his true identity to anyone, including after we return to the human city."

Let him continue being that mysterious 'Awakening'.

Although Gu did not fully understand the deeper meaning, he still nodded solemnly.

The journey to the human city was long, but in the face of Yang Lie's [Magnetic Field Rotation] power, the problem of survival became exceptionally simple.

With a simple wave of his hand, he could reassemble the particles in the air into fresh water and nutritious food, allowing the battered team to rest and recuperate.

After traveling through the wilderness for several months, Yang Lie finally stopped.

"arrive."

He looked ahead and spoke to the expectant crowd behind him.

Gu raised his head and followed his gaze.

At the horizon, a magnificent city, beyond description, lies prostrate on the earth like a steel behemoth.

The city walls soar into the clouds, their surfaces shimmering with intricate patterns of metal and energy, exuding the iron-blooded desolation of the post-industrial era.

This was the first time in his life he had seen such a magnificent sight, and a sense of awe and belonging welled up within him from the depths of his blood.

"Won't such a massive city attract an attack from all races?"

Jun pushed up his glasses and raised his question.

Such a fortress of human civilization is practically the most conspicuous target in the dark forest.

"They want to, but they don't dare."

Yang Lie snorted coldly and explained,
"After a century of war, we and all races have entered a strategic stalemate."

No one can do anything to anyone.

More importantly, the myriad races... have never been of one mind.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"To conquer this city, we will inevitably have to pay the price of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

But who will pay this price? And by what right should he pay it?

Therefore, our previous strategy was simple and effective.

Yang Lie's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:

"Grab a few of the most aggressive members of the powerful clans and kill their high-level transcendents with all your might!"

Slaughter them until their lineage ends, slaughter them until they tremble with fear!

Upon hearing this, Jun instantly understood the underlying scheme and nodded in agreement.

This is an extremely clever strategy.

Through asymmetrical hunting, precise strikes are made against the vital forces of specific races.

Once a powerful race suffers heavy losses in its top combat force and its strength declines, then without any human intervention, other races that covet its status and resources will pounce on it like sharks smelling blood, devouring it completely.

This approach not only weakened the enemy but also created irreconcilable suspicions and rifts within the myriad races, preventing them from ever truly uniting.

As Gu listened to their conversation, although he only vaguely understood the profound strategic game involved, he could clearly feel the determination and ruthlessness in Yang Lie's words in defending his compatriots.

After undergoing several rigorous and almost ruthless security checks, the massive city gate slowly opened, and the group finally stepped into this last bastion of humanity...
