At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Only after the Revolutionary Army allied with Western alien races did she have the opportunity to join the Revolutionary Army and participate in assassination training, fighting to prevent children like herself from being discriminated against!

“Yes, how could such a world possibly exist?” Leone said dejectedly, snapping out of her reverie.

"Hahaha, kids." Hao Zhikai laughed heartily. The oldest child in front of him was only twenty-five years old, which was like a group of children to him, who was over fifty and about to become an old man.

Feeling lost?

"We may not see a world where everyone is happy right now."

"But we can strive for that ideal world."

"This is not a problem of one country or one nation, but a struggle between the entire human world and the evil in human nature."

"Either we suppress the evil in human nature, or the evil in human nature alienates us all."

What I want to tell you is...

"Don't ask us why we stood up."

"You have to ask first whether the evil in human nature still exists."

"Don't ask whether the campfire should be lit; first ask whether the cold and darkness are present."

"Don't ask us whether we should sharpen our blades; we should first ask whether oppression and exploitation exist."

"Don't ask us whether justice should be celebrated; first ask whether injustice still exists in the world."

The raiders thought the Free Army leader's voice was already deafening, but the voice of this middle-aged man was even more thunderous, making them tremble.

They seemed to have found their way in the fog through these words.

For some reason, the eyes of the four of them welled up with tears. As night raiders, they had seen too much darkness, but in this short time, they had seen the light.

"Let's go, kids." Hao Zhikai said gently to the four children whose eyes were wet with tears. "Don't be confused, the path is right under your feet."

"Yes, Mr. Hao Zhikai." Brand came to his senses, his voice full of respect. He was actually quite reserved at this moment, and his hands, which had killed countless corrupt nobles, did not know where to go.

Mine, Leone, and Lubbock also looked at the old man whose voice had shaken them to their core with restraint.

……

At this moment, the entire population of Jelock was boiling like water after Tao Jing's speech, and everyone was in a state of anger and fanaticism.

They personally killed the powerful and wealthy who exploited and oppressed them; none of them survived unscathed, their very bones were crushed.

Afterwards, Mark and others from the Xia Kingdom team began recruiting soldiers. A large number of men wanted to join, and they recruited 50,000 young men in almost a day.

It's not that we can't have more, but there are too many people who want to join the 'Free Army,' and most of them have been rejected.

Then the administrative team began to establish a completely new order.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The Free Army's governor has issued a brand new decree, repealing all the laws previously enacted by the powerful and corrupt. The new laws will be based on the 'New Free Law,' and the Free Army's governor will explain this to the citizens at the Gazette and other places."

Children ran through the streets and alleys, carrying newspapers and waving them around.

Over 90% of the people in the empire are illiterate, and even if they have newspapers, they can't understand them. However, there are some who can understand them, and those who can will naturally explain them to those around them.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Tomorrow at noon, the leader of the Free Army, Chief Engineer Tao Jing, will publicly reveal the method of cultivation to become stronger to everyone, so that everyone can become as powerful as the Free Army soldiers!"

These newsboys were all orphans of Jerok. The Xia Kingdom adopted them and also gave them some newsboy titles for the general public.

After all, this is a critical time, and we can't just send the children to school. The children can't stay idle, so we might as well let them do some small tasks.

On the bulletin board.

The area was packed with people, and a young man from the administrative team shouted through a megaphone.

"First, abolish all previous illegal taxes. Of course, taxes are also needed to keep society running."

This tax system is based on the Republic's system, where taxes are levied only when a certain income level is reached. Currently, only some merchants are taxed, and no one else is taxed.

"Then came the land allocation. The land belonged to the collective, but it was allocated to every farmer who wanted to farm..."

"Good heavens! Taxes are only levied on monthly incomes exceeding fifteen silver coins, and even those below five gold coins are only taxed at one-tenth! Doesn't that mean we commoners don't have to pay taxes?"

"Land will be allocated! Is it true? You only need to pay one-tenth of the grain tax, and the rest is all yours? Good heavens!"

"Waaah, why didn't you Free Army come sooner? If you had come sooner, my mother wouldn't have starved to death so that I could survive."

"Yes, my sister died working as a maid for a noble family so that our family wouldn't starve. When I saw her again, she was in a mass grave outside the city. Waaah."

"Comrades, my dear comrades, please calm down and let me explain all the laws to you clearly," the third-ranking governor shouted as he looked at the agitated crowd.

Not to mention the people, he himself was extremely excited to personally participate in the liberation cause. That sense of mission made him feel that even if he sacrificed himself here, he would have no regrets.

While the entire Jerok was engaged in a vigorous liberation campaign, intelligence agents from other factions within the Empire relayed what was happening here back to them.

The city hall, which used to be the office of powerful officials.

At this moment, all the important figures who survived Jerok were here, but none of them were powerful or wealthy. Instead, they were the leaders of the 'Tranquility Path' and some well-known but not bad businessmen.

"Chief Tao Jing, thank you very much. 'Anningdao' unconditionally supports and abides by all the decrees and laws of 'Free Army'. Is there anything we can do for you?" An, the leader of Anningdao, asked respectfully.

The cult leader, 'An,' looked with respect at the woman before him, who was as resolute as a rock.

Last night, a soldier from the 'Free Army' stormed into the 'Anning Road Headquarters' and captured his long-standing nemesis.

Berlik, an undercover agent and accomplice in an attempt to overthrow the 'Tranquility Path' and turn it into a cash cow for the empire.

Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do. He couldn't openly attack Berkeley, because if he did, the Empire's army and assassins would come.

It is thanks to his large number of followers and his great fame among the people that the powerful and wealthy are afraid that after his death, the 'Taiwan Peace Path' will fall apart and will no longer be a tool for them to exploit the people, so he has lived to this day.

“There are indeed some propaganda issues that require your ‘Peaceful Path’ attention,” Tao Jing said calmly, looking at the religious leader.

She liked the 'Way of Peace' because it advocated that 'doing good deeds will bring happiness' and had no dogmatic doctrines that could mislead people.

Was this 'Path of Tranquility' truly not a place where the gods preached? She indeed saw no trace of divine blessing on the 'Path of Tranquility'.

"Please give your orders. Even if it means disbanding 'Tranquility Path,' I will absolutely obey your arrangements," the leader 'An' said hurriedly.

His initial motivation for establishing the 'Way of Tranquility' was that the empire was rife with corruption and decadence, and he wanted to create a sect to persuade people to do good.

The 'Free Army' shared his thoughts perfectly, and even surpassed his own; he could only look up to them. He had already decided that he must join the 'Free Army'.

“Then, Master An, I sincerely invite you to serve as the Minister of the Religious Administration Department of our ‘Free Army’, and then spread this cultivation method throughout the Southern Province.”

"'Source Awakening'?" Master An, or rather, Minister An, looked at the two thin books Tao Jing handed over with a puzzled expression, and opened the one that was labeled 'Source Awakening'.

He was so engrossed in reading it that he couldn't help but start breathing according to the method described in the book. His head suddenly felt dizzy, his body began to move uncontrollably, and waves of uncontrollable heat pumped out from his heart.

hum~

"Awakened?" Tao Jing wasn't surprised. She had seen many people awaken their 'source potential' on the spot. Those who could awaken their abilities directly on the spot were basically people whose mental level was above average among ordinary people.

The fact that the religious leader was able to establish a religion centered on 'doing good' in a corrupt empire is enough to show that he had a very high level of spiritual attainment.

Click!

A light blue holy mark appeared directly on the forehead of the Anjiao Master.

For a moment, Master An's consciousness went haywire, and everything around him had changed.

“Here…” Leader An was shocked.

Before me stood a colossal tree that stretched as far as the eye could see, its seven-colored, glowing leaves clustered together to obscure the entire sky, sacred and holy, like a mother's embrace.

A faint connection appeared between him and the tree, and a continuous stream of warmth flowed into his body through the giant tree.

Along with this came a large amount of 'information'.

World Tree

Behind the seemingly endless trunk of a giant tree, a white palace building was shrouded in white clouds, with three completely unfamiliar characters faintly visible on its surface.

Although I don't recognize the name, I know what it means.

The Pantheon is a temple where gods from numerous planets and civilizations discuss world order and the future direction of civilization.

"God!!!" The leader of the sect trembled with excitement. Just as he was about to stand on tiptoe to see more clearly, everything around him disappeared, and he returned to the familiar city hall.

Tao Jing was calmly looking at him, while he sensed the unimaginable 'elemental power' within the other's body, as well as the 'Eye of God' at the other's waist.

"So... you are actually messengers of the gods." The cult leader's voice trembled with excitement. "And you are the closest to the gods..."

Chapter 176: Night Raid - Everyone Awakens, It's Time to Go Pick Up Barbatos.

Those who obtain the 'Eye of God' may become heroes of a new god in the future!

To him, the founder of the religion, there was no difference between him and a god walking among humans.

"Closest to the gods... I'm still far from it, like a firefly on earth compared to the eternal sun." Tao Jing shook her head. She had heard such words countless times. Even many in the Extraordinary Legion had some blind faith in her power.

This is normal, but only when they reach the fourth level will they realize how big the gap is between each level, and they will also be able to understand more about how great the 'gods' really are.

Just at this time.

"Reporting to the commander, I have brought the four young comrades from the night raid to see you." Hao Zhikai's voice came, and the four night raiders followed behind him, looking at Tao Jing, who stood tall and straight, as if she could hold up the sky if it fell, with a mixture of respect and curiosity in their eyes.

It was incredible to them that a woman could make everyone feel safe.

Moreover, he was the leader of the 'Free Army,' which had such lofty ideals.

"Commander Tao Jing, hello. I am Leone from the 'Night Raid' assassination squad under the Revolutionary Army." Leone said reservedly. She had already changed her clothes. After all, her Teigu was a belt. She had to change her clothes after handing over the Teigu, otherwise she would be naked.

Her voice was a bit stiff. She was already impressive from a distance, but seeing her up close made her seem even more remarkable. It's just that the title "Commander" sounded a little awkward.

She felt strange. She wasn't this reserved when she went to the Revolutionary Army headquarters with the boss, but she was like this when facing the 'Free Army'. Perhaps it was because these people's souls were too dazzling that she felt like an animal wallowing in the mud.

"My name is Mine..."

“I am Brand.”

“I am Lubbock.”

"It's a pleasure to meet you four comrades," Tao Jing said with a smile. Although the profession of assassin sounded dirty, she also felt that what they were doing was very noble.

It seems so unworthy to help that group of revolutionaries who are only superficially decent but are actually just fighting for power and profit.

If they hadn't come here, the night raid would never have had a good outcome. They would either have been killed while assassinating imperial nobles, or they would have been discarded after the revolutionaries actually overthrew the empire.

The four men became even more reserved during the night raid, their hearts pounding. This Commander Tao Jing had called them "comrades." While they were happy, a sense of inferiority also rose within them. They, as murderers, were not worthy of being called "comrades" by someone like Commander Tao Jing.

"Comrades, don't be nervous. I called you here to give you these two items." Tao Jing handed over a 'Source Awakening' document.

"What is this?" Leone instinctively reached out and caught it.
