The arriving Blue Star humans saw the previously impatient infected individuals.
They instantly became extremely respectful, then collectively turned towards a man.
The Blue Star humans gazed at Xiao Ye's figure, their expressions suddenly becoming incredibly excited.
"Xiao Ye!!"
Xiao Ye fully felt their enthusiasm, and the Blue Star humans eagerly swarmed around him.
"I used to worship you so much, Xiao Ye, let me join the infected!"
"I am willing to submit to your authority, Xiao Ye, turn us all into infected!"
"King Xiao, during the trial, I never threw a single egg at you."
Once, Xiao Ye was the nightmare in countless people's hearts.
Now, they were filled with enthusiasm.
Xiao Ye's gaze swept over them indifferently, knowing that more than half of these humans were fair-weather friends.
"When I was branded a traitor, none of you supported me."
His voice, as light as clouds, carried a hint of unspoken mockery.
Some older men and women, their bodies were somewhat stiff.
The world was governed by the rules set by the strong.
Xiao Ye was pointed at by a thousand fingers, reviled by ten thousand people.
However, the tables had turned.
Xiao Ye had become their provider, their mainstay for survival.
"We've long disliked the Alliance. It was because they suppressed our news; otherwise, we would have cursed them for three days and three nights straight."
A scrawny male citizen revealed a smooth, fawning expression.
Xiao Ye's gaze landed on the man; his obsequious face was amusing.
Xiao Ye let out a few low, husky chuckles, seeming quite pleased.
The scrawny citizen then proceeded to badmouth the Alliance to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye asked him indifferently, "If I were to govern the entire Blue Star, how would I compare to the Alliance?"
The scrawny male citizen displayed his sycophantic nature to the extreme.
"The Alliance led our lives, but we never enjoyed a single good day. If you were to possess Blue Star, you would be our heart's desire, the hope of humanity!"
Xiao Ye laughed even more unrestrainedly.
The scrawny male citizen also laughed along.
However, no one expected Xiao Ye to change his tune, "From now on, humans wishing to join the infected must undergo strict screening. Those who are like this fence-sitters will all be sent back to the Alliance to die."
The male citizen's eyes widened instantly.
He realized Xiao Ye's tone was directed at him…
"King, what does this mean? I yearn for the City of Slaying Gods!"
Xiao Ye paid no heed to his words and calmly entered the City of Slaying Gods.
Gu Feng and the others said to Xiao Ye, "Master, rest assured. We will expand our forces, and the infected we select will only be one in ten thousand."
In the past, their status as infected was the most looked down upon.
But now.
The infected could foresee their future as the most noble symbol.
All these miracles, which helped them gain status,
Were all because of Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye nodded.
He arrived in the city; the battle had been fought beautifully.
It had bolstered the people's morale, and they looked at Xiao Ye with reverence.
"Master, this is for you."
Zhao Chen's expression was somewhat complex as he handed a historical record to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye recognized it as Wei Qi's and asked how badly Wei Qi was injured.
Zhao Chen stammered, "Elder Wei… he…"
Xiao Ye instantly understood something was wrong, and he immediately rushed to Wei Qi's location.
A group of infected were gathered around Wei Qi, the atmosphere filled with sadness.
Wei Qi's face was covered with a white cloth, his withered hand already hanging down.
Xiao Xi stood stiffly beside Wei Qi, her delicate face full of confusion.
Upon sensing Xiao Ye's presence, Xiao Xi suddenly raised her head, "Ye..."
The infected guarding Wei Qi tensed and respectfully looked towards Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye came to Xiao Xi's side, noticing her pale complexion, "How are you?"
Xiao Xi's eyes were red, showing her vulnerability to Xiao Ye, "It hurts."
Xiao Ye's expression darkened slightly, and he said to Xiao Xi, "Use your powers less in the future."
Xiao Ye had realized that every time Xiao Xi went berserk, she was using her own abilities.
Xiao Xi, hearing Xiao Ye's concern, nodded obediently.
Xiao Ye approached Wei Qi, his gaze slightly complex, and murmured, "Elder Wei, I will usher in a new era, an era that belongs to me."
Xiao Xi stood obediently by Xiao Ye's side and quietly said to Wei Qi, "Thank you, elder."
Countless infected looked at Wei Qi's corpse with profound respect.
This time, the Alliance had returned with no survivors, and the entire Blue Star was as easy as taking something from a pocket.
Gu Feng and the others informed Xiao Ye of what had happened after he left.
For example, Liu Qiaoqiao had taken Gu Xiaosu away.
Xiao Ye remained unmoved.
Gu Xiaosu's value had been completely exploited.
Xiao Ye no longer cared whether she lived or died.
I don't care, but Little Xi on my side transforming into a true infected, unit household I Ke on the side.
All the infected in the city were happier than anyone else.
Xiao Ye had already gathered the infected and announced that they would prepare and then march towards the Blue Star Alliance.
They intended to take over the entire Blue Star.
This news instantly excited the infected.
Outside the city, citizens continued to arrive, prostrating themselves and begging to become infected.
However, those who wished to become infected had to complete trials arranged by the infected.
Humans once looked down upon the infected, and now they scrambled to achieve that status.
Countless people felt a passionate surge of a comeback.
In the evening, stars began to dot the sky.
Xiao Xi's current condition was even more worrying; she hadn't been relieved of her physical pain despite this battle.
Xiao Ye could clearly feel Xiao Xi's aura growing.
His dark energy could not suppress the growth of Xiao Xi's power; she was growing even while drinking water and eating.
However, how could a frail body withstand such a violent surge?
Xiao Xi was in so much pain that she couldn't even eat.
"Ye, don't worry about me."
Xiao Xi saw Xiao Ye standing in her room for a long time.
She wanted him to leave, but he also frowned and didn't move.
Xiao Ye didn't have many people he trusted, only Xiao Xi and a few others.
How could he stand by and watch Xiao Xi suffer?
[System, do you have any solutions for Xiao Xi's condition?]
Xiao Ye relentlessly pressed the system, believing that the system, capable of providing abundant rewards, might also be able to cure Xiao Xi's problem.
The system, having been pressured by Xiao Ye before, said with some helplessness, [Host, I am bound to you, so I can only help you. I am powerless regarding Xiao Xi's condition.]
Xiao Ye remained silent.
Xiao Xi cautiously lifted her eyes and saw Xiao Ye's somber expression.
She tugged at Xiao Ye's sleeve and whispered, "I don't hurt anymore."
Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Xi's earnest face, seemingly unwilling for him to continue worrying.
A ripple of emotion spread through his heart.
He remembered ten years ago, when Xiao Ye brought Xiao Xi back to the city.
Her family was dead, and no one was there to care for her.
Xiao Ye often coaxed Xiao Xi to sleep, reading the fairy tale books from his previous life until they were worn out.
Xiao Xi also said, cautiously, "Big Brother, I'm not scared."
