Chapter 56 The Price of Becoming a Savior
The headline news of the destruction of the arc tissue was met with applause.

The public trial of so many A-level superhumans served as a warning to others and intimidated many people.

As Jiang He passed by the flowerbeds in the community, he heard elderly men and women talking about this matter, their faces beaming with smiles.

The dark clouds that had been hanging over Zhongzhou City seemed to dissipate at that moment.

"The chaos was suppressed before it even began, coupled with the destruction of the Arc Light Organization..."

"The future Zhongzhou City should no longer degenerate into a city of sin."

Jiang He was in a great mood.

Of course, this does not mean that the possibility of [Extraordinary Rampage] has disappeared.

After being taught by Bai He, Jiang He has come to understand that the so-called extraordinary berserk behavior is essentially "an individual's strength surpassing that of the group".

Everyone has different personalities, preferences, and selfish desires.

When the world revolves around the will of a few individuals, their joys and sorrows naturally extend to the entire world, thus evolving into "rampage."

Therefore, as long as it is a world of the extraordinary, this possibility will never disappear.

Not to mention, ambitious supernatural organizations like the "Wolf Pack" have always existed.

Jiang He only hoped that his declaration of doom would have the same effect as the parliament's trial of the extraordinary thugs, serving as a warning to others.

This creates a slight deterrent effect on those at the top of the world, diverting their attention from each other to external threats, thereby reducing the possibility of them going berserk.

"Overall, the internal condition of human superhumans should improve."

"It all depends on external threats..."

Jiang He put the cold noodles into a basin and placed it in front of Lao Jiang.

Watching him slurp down the cold noodles, he wiped his mouth with a lingering sense of satisfaction and said, "It's not as delicious as I remember."

"That's not what Baihe said. I suggest you two have a fight."

Jiang He made a sarcastic remark and then asked, "Old Jiang, the Arc Light Organization has already caused trouble, and the Demon Abyss is just around the corner... Both of these possibilities have already surfaced."

"What about the strange beasts? Will they pull some kind of trick lately?"

"Could there be some Ultra Beast wandering around Zhongzhou City, waiting to give me a big surprise?"

"Also, in your timeline, how are Uncle Cui and the others doing?"

Jiang He bombarded him with a whole host of questions.

Old Jiang chuckled and said, "I can't remember."

"...How could you not remember?"

After a superhuman's strength increases, their memory will be enhanced, and past memories will become clearer.

In another future timeline, Uncle Cui and his companions died in an arc light attack, a fact that Bai He even pinpointed to the minute.

Old Jiang is also an X-level superhuman, how could he not remember?

Is it like the white crane, trying to play riddles with itself?
Old Jiang scratched his head.

What has Baihe done? Even I, in my younger days, seem to have developed PTSD.

Seeing Jiang He's suspicious expression, he explained, "I told you, using the [Eraser] talent comes at a cost."

"When I created my own profession, in order to increase the strength of the talent, I did not remove the cost, but chose to pay more."

"Erase [Profession], consume [Memory]".

"Erase [death], consume [lifespan]."

"Erase the fear, consume the emotions."

"Erase the [limits of the body]..."

Old Jiang shrugged: "So many years have passed, I can't even remember what I've lost anymore."

"As for Uncle Cui and the others... their childhood memories are even more fragmented, with only a few impressions remaining."

"All I know is that they died a long time ago. As for the cause of their death, my emotions and thoughts at the time... I have forgotten them all."

When Lao Jiang spoke, there was not a trace of sadness in him; in fact, he even had a smile on his face.

Jiang He looked at the smile on his face, but felt a little suffocated.

No wonder he didn't even recognize himself when he first appeared. No wonder his reaction after appearing was different from Bai He's; it was as if he had arrived in an unfamiliar place.

No wonder he never reminisced about the past, nor did he show any obsession.

No wonder he always had a smile on his face...

Jiang He thought that Lao Jiang was so carefree and happy because he had saved the world, stood at the top of the world, and had a happy and fulfilling future.

It turns out that he has lost his "past", and may even have lost his "sadness".

In a sense, he is no longer "Jiang He".

He is Jiang Zemin, and he is just Jiang Zemin.

Is this the price of becoming a "savior"?

"Nothing in this world is perfect. If you want to grow and become stronger, you always have to give up some things."

"The lower the starting point, the farther the journey, and the more you have to give up."

Old Jiang's eyes gleamed with envy: "Of course, you don't have to be like me—"

“You are all more talented than me, and you have a much wider path to take.”

After a few words of comfort, Lao Jiang smiled again.

"And although I have forgotten a lot of things, I have read some records and rewritten some things."

"Ask me more, maybe I'll remember something."

Seeing that Lao Jiang had such an optimistic look on his face.

Jiang He's mood improved somewhat.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "When exactly did the beast rampage begin?"

"In September 2029, the first real monster rampage occurred in Fog City, and the first Ultimate Monster appeared," Old Jiang said readily.

This is a historical event, and even if he forgets it, many people will record it.

Jiang He nodded slightly.

The first monster rampage in Lao Jiang's timeline occurred four months later...

The timeframe isn't far off, meaning the basic conditions for the beasts to go berserk have likely already been met; all that's missing is a trigger.

The current state of Earth is rife with signs of demons and omens of impending doom, so it's not surprising that this has happened ahead of schedule.

It's time to take precautions.

Jiang He thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know about the Wolf Pack organization?"

The Wolf Pack organization was not born in the future, but before the "Awakening Moment".

Just like the Extraordinary Council, even if the timeline is different, it cannot simply disappear into thin air.

Sure enough, Old Jiang said, "I know, the future human protection organization."

"After the council collapsed, the leader, the Wolf King, used his talent [Void Realm] to build a massive sanctuary that even Ultimate Beasts couldn't find, and led his wolf pack to fight against the Beasts..."

"If it weren't for them, at least half of the future human survivors would have died."

"Unfortunately, a new Ultra Beast was born later, which broke his Void Realm, and he was eventually defeated."

Are wolf packs human protection organizations?
If the white crane heard this, its expression would be quite something.

Even Jiang He felt extremely tense.

It's important to know that the Wolf Pack organization is still kidnapping children and brainwashing them into becoming vicious wolves—a truly extraordinary and evil organization...

However, Lao Jiang's words also proved one thing.

Human nature is not absolute, but rather changeable.

Wolf packs are not inherently evil; in the face of apocalypse, they might fight for humanity.

And now...

Even without an apocalypse, Jiang He created one.
