From the moment he stepped into the extraordinary realm, You Dao Zhen Xian's dream was to become a true immortal.
And he believed that the most important indicator of a true immortal was the ability to refine immortal elixirs.
Elixirs that could revive the dead, regrow flesh and bones, and grant ascension to the heavens.
For these elixirs, You Dao Zhen Xian did not care how many people died, because as long as there was one finished product, its value would far exceed all losses.
Their deaths were not meaningless, but for a greater cause.
Before the concept of the 'Inner World' was proposed, that place was called the 'Earth Realm' by the superhumans of Huafu.
People divided the world into three layers: 'Heaven, Earth, and Man', believing that the Human Realm was an equal existence to the Heaven and Earth realms, with all three being indispensable and balancing each other.
But You Dao Zhen Xian despised this classification from the bottom of his heart, because it was too arrogant.
Compared to the Inner World, the real world was insignificant.
When the two worlds truly touched, even if the number of superhumans reached the point where True Order were as common as dogs and Upper Order were everywhere, they would still be as fragile as ants.
The only thing that could balance the power of the two worlds was the strongest of the top tier, that is, the Cataclysmic level powerhouses!
In You Dao Zhen Xian's view, only by refining true 'immortal elixirs' that could artificially create Cataclysmic level powerhouses could the real world have a way out.
But he didn't realize that his path had long gone astray, and what he created were not 'true immortals' to save the world, but monsters to destroy it.
He felt that everything he did was for the greater good.
For the greater good, everyone except himself could be sacrificed.

The Night Knight awoke from his daze; it was night again.
He was surrounded by mountains of ghost corpses, all killed during the day while in a dazed state. His combat achievements during the day had eliminated the most powerful ghost force since the arrival of the undead plague. Su Dan Novel Network
The Night Knight disliked letting his daytime self wander around, not out of fear of danger in that state, but because he didn't want others to encounter danger.
The daytime Night Knight would eliminate evil based on instinct, possessing much greater strength than in his normal state, and his powerful instincts would automatically avoid risks.
Now that night had fallen, it was time for him to deal with the instigator of this undead plague.
He looked in the direction of the Royal Capital, his eyes flashing with ferocity. The Ghost God in the Royal Capital did not conceal its aura at all. Such a powerful aura was far beyond Aegel's comparison; even Aegel's fusion with the God of Distortion could not match the power of this Ghost God.
"I can't delay any longer. Now is the best time to defeat him. Although he is very strong, I am not fighting alone."
He received a message from Wen Wen, knowing that Wen Wen had dealt with Aegel and was rapidly approaching this direction. Coupled with 'You Dao Zhen Xian', who had promised to help, their combined efforts should be enough to deal with this Ghost God.
...
After entering the Containment Facility, Wen Wen immediately went to the Cataclysmic Zone on the fourth floor.
There were ten cells here, and Aegel was imprisoned in one of them.
Unlike the first three floors, Aegel did not have the freedom to move around in his cell. He was bound by numerous chains, each inscribed with complex runes to suppress his power.
The threat posed by a Cataclysmic level powerhouse was too great. Even the Containment Facility could not allow them to move freely in their cells. The facility was constantly suppressing Aegel's power.
Judging by this, even if the Containment Facility were to be upgraded in the future, and Wen Wen could use the abilities of a Cataclysmic level powerhouse, it would likely be a diluted version.
However, with his current strength, Wen Wen no longer relied on the abilities of monsters. It would be great if he could use them, but he wouldn't feel regret if he couldn't.
He began drawing a rune formation on the ground beneath Aegel with a special white chalk.
Wen Wen had observed earlier that the core idea of the formation used by Wai Long was to activate the phantom image of the Bronze Wedge within Aegel using specific signals, and then use a summoning array to pull it out of Aegel.
For Wen Wen, there was no need to do something so troublesome, nor did he need to prepare any altars or materials; a piece of chalk and a flat surface were enough.
He spent half a minute drawing the complete formation, and then flicked a booger at it.
The booger landed precisely on an energy node, activating the entire formation. An invisible suction force manifested from the formation, and the phantom image of the Bronze Wedge slowly emerged.
The appearance of the Bronze Wedge's phantom image did not cause any effect on Aegel, as it was merely attached to him, not parasitic within his body.
Wen Wen narrowed his eyes, then reached into it. The half-meter-tall phantom image of the Bronze Wedge transformed into a stream of information and entered Wen Wen's body, leaving only a small bronze key in Wen Wen's hand.
"So that's how it is. Now, with a mere thought, all 'outsiders' in this world will be sent out of Yuliannu."
"Furthermore, as long as I touch the Bronze Wedge before Wai Long does, using this key, I will take control of Yuliannu."
"Well... Wai Long is already a loser, so control of Yuliannu will definitely be mine."
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Wen did not immediately activate the phantom's ability to take himself and the others back.
This world was facing an apocalyptic crisis. If he and his companions left, it would mean the immediate loss of three Cataclysmic level powerhouses.
Considering he had promised You Dao Zhen Xian to take him out as well, then this world would only have the Demon God Qilin left to resist the undead plague, which might lead to a result Wen Wen did not want to see.
Emotionally, Wen Wen was a demon hunter. While not a saint, he was not heartless either, and could not stand by and watch the suffering of living beings without intervening.
Rationally speaking, Yuliannu would be Wen Wen's property in the future, and he did not want this undead plague to destroy it.
Therefore, he decided to wait until all the Cataclysmic level powerhouses had ganged up to defeat the newly appeared Ghost God before he would take everyone away.
As for the choice of returning alone first to gain control, Wen Wen had not even considered it.
He had no idea if he could reopen the bronze door after leaving, nor did he know if he would enter at the same point in time when he returned. Any slight mistake during this period would mean he had completely doomed Qiao Feiya and the others.
Thus, Wen Wen emerged from the Containment Facility, looked in the direction of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and moved rapidly towards it.
The undead plague of a thousand years ago in Huafu had nearly wiped out Huafu civilization, leading to countless tragedies. Now that Wen Wen had the ability to change all of this, he would not let those events happen again!
ps: My subscriptions have plummeted recently, and there are even a few pirated readers causing trouble. In a moment of frustration, I wanted to create an anti-piracy chapter to annoy the pirated readers. Doing it at midnight wouldn't affect legitimate readers and could even increase my income.
But just now, I suddenly saw a new comment: "Keep it up, I'm here to support the legitimate version." This made me suddenly abandon the idea of an anti-piracy chapter.
Among the pirated readers, there are also very lovely readers, and I don't want to deliberately annoy anyone.
I only ask all my friends who read pirated versions to come to Qidian and support me.
Seeing that it's over two million characters, I don't ask for a full subscription, but supporting me with the cost of a bottle of soda should be possible, right? Thank you.
