In fact, Xuanwei has another hidden pitfall: whether in the machine crisis or the zombie crisis, only humans are normal intelligent beings. Therefore, Xuanwei can only support humans and has no other choice.

First, let's talk about artificial intelligence. If, with further technological advancements, artificial intelligence spontaneously develops emotions and can promote its own progress, then even if artificial intelligence were to overthrow humanity, Xuanwei wouldn't care.

He is the Heavenly Dao, concerned only with the survival of a world, not with which creature reigns supreme. The ruling creatures come and go, but the Heavenly Dao remains constant. Before humanity, hadn't the ruling creatures of his world changed several times? It's simply a matter of the strong preying on the weak.

But that wasn't possible at the time. When the AI ​​crisis occurred, those artificial intelligences seemed to have been suddenly infected by some kind of virus overnight. They hadn't evolved emotions, nor could they promote their own evolution, so Xuanwei could only support humans.

The same thing happened during the zombie virus outbreak. The zombies were simply unable to support the normal operation of a world; they fed on the life force of various living beings. In other words, these alien parasites were gradually plundering the world's power, so Xuanwei could only rely on humanity even more.

So, this is actually where Xuanwei got the worst treatment. If it were just a normal struggle between two species, it wouldn't matter to Xuanwei which one went extinct, since many species go extinct every day in any world.

However, as the Heavenly Dao, they never put all their eggs in one basket. To reiterate, the Heavenly Dao's responsibility is to maintain the world's operation, not to guarantee the dominance of any particular race. Therefore, Xuanwei ultimately made two plans.

On one hand, they summoned Ning Bao to help humanity; on the other hand, they tried their best to localize the invading zombie parasites. As long as those parasites could integrate into the cycle of their world, it wouldn't matter to Xuanwei even if humanity went extinct—it would just be a change of the dominant species.

This may sound cruel, but that's the reality. Heaven will never infringe on the interests of the entire world for the benefit of a particular race, because there can always be countless species and races in a world.

Almost every Heavenly Dao that survives is like this; there are no exceptions. Those that are exceptions all perish.

Ning Bao and the others were able to complete the task so smoothly because Xuan Wei had already finished the first ninety-nine steps, and only the final step remained. However, he really needed someone to help him complete this last step, since he was already in a deep sleep when Ning Bao arrived. By enabling humans to develop superpowers and allowing zombies to replenish their energy by eating food, Xuan Wei's goals would be fully achieved.

In truth, every Heavenly Dao that truly takes shape is extraordinary. Even the young Kui Bao's world possesses a history, a lineage, and a well-established logic. Moreover, the self-healing abilities of small worlds are quite strong, much like nature's ability to heal itself. As long as they don't all perish at once, they can always recover later.

Most of the time, the Heavenly Dao cooperates with the mission takers simply because the Heavenly Dao doesn't want to end up in such a bad situation. After all, the development of civilization takes time, and everyone gets what they need.

But that doesn't mean that the small world couldn't survive without mission takers. The mission takers aren't really that important, and the world's power is beyond their ability to contend with.

Of course, the above description only applies to truly formed small worlds and Heavenly Daos. Those small Heavenly Daos that have just begun to develop consciousness and haven't even broken free from their original worlds are not included. For example, the Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction world that Ning Bao visited before—it's quite easy to become a savior in such a place.

Therefore, some opportunists are really good at finding loopholes and always go to these small worlds to act like tyrants.

Ninety-nine percent of the Heavenly Daos in these small worlds cannot truly advance to the lowest level; most of them will actually perish. Each small world can always give birth to many such consciousnesses, but at the end of the Xuanhuang era, there are actually not that many small worlds that can be truly counted, which is not an easy task.

This is actually one of the reasons why Chunhuan is so angry now, because most of those who need the help of mission takers are those consciousnesses that do not yet have a title and are not considered minor Heavenly Daos at all, so how much energy can they have?

As for him and Guiya, they've already advanced to the Yellow Rank Heavenly Dao. Whenever they need help with a mission, the moment the mission is posted, countless people fight tooth and nail for it, their attitudes incredibly accommodating. After all, at their level, they're practically major clients, so naturally, they have to be courted.

Now look what's happened, they actually got scammed, it makes me so angry. It's because they were used to a mutually beneficial relationship, those task takers always fawned over them, which led to their lowered guard, otherwise how could they have been scammed?

"Alright, it's not a big deal."

Compared to Chunhuan, Guiya appeared more composed. Of course, it could also be because he has a somewhat expressionless face.

However, he was right. The Yellow-rank Heavenly Dao was still much stronger than the Low-rank Heavenly Dao. The methods that could have brought Xuanwei to the brink of death were only a bit troublesome and disgusting when used on them. They were not so bad as to cause serious damage.

Chun sent Ningbao on a mission, genuinely trying to give Ningbao strength in various ways, since they had to follow the rules. But in reality, he and Guiya could handle this small matter.

For example, when the creatures of their two worlds were locked in fierce combat, didn't they manage to control the overall situation using certain rules? Even if they couldn't control it, it wouldn't matter; it would just mean that most of the current ruling creatures in both worlds would be killed or wounded. They could simply replace them with other creatures. They wouldn't even need to change the world system; it would only take a few hundred years, which would be very short for them.

As for the thing that bound their two worlds together, they hadn't figured out exactly what it was before, which was why they hadn't acted rashly. After all, Xuanwei's example was there; it was better to be cautious.

However, Guiya had already lost one of his clones and had nearly finished investigating. If this clone were to die, they planned to intervene personally. Didn't you see the two of them still enjoying meat, tea, and conversation? They were truly in no hurry. Even without Ning Bao, they could handle this matter perfectly well in another one or two thousand years. One or two thousand years—was that a long time for two Heavenly Daos?

Xuanwei really needed Ningbao and the others' help before. Even though they had prepared ninety-nine steps, it would be useless if no one did the last step. Xuanwei was also really out of strength after dealing with two crises.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

In the end, Xuanwei gave Ningbao very little Heavenly Dao power. It wasn't that he was stingy; it was that he was truly impoverished, and his entire fortune had been emptied.

Right now, Guiya and Chunhuan are really focused on giving Ningbao power, even sending her to the Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction world during the mission so she can earn more.

However, Ning Bao wasn't entirely without help, because if the mission could be completed, it would mean resolving this crisis a thousand or two thousand years earlier. A thousand or two thousand years isn't a long time for the two Heavenly Daos, but it's a very long time for the beings in the two worlds. Therefore, Ning Bao would have truly helped all living beings. In a thousand or two thousand years, a civilization can develop to a great extent.
