“Destroy…?” After hearing this, I let out a bitter laugh. The purpose of the “Extreme Path” had always been to protect this place, yet she wanted to destroy it.

“I’m too powerless…” Jiang Ruoxue stared at me with bloodshot eyes. “Before I left, I said I would first go see the situation there. If I liked that ‘Seed’ and ‘Flower,’ I would take them away. If I didn’t like them, I would let them sink into depravity there.”

“Yes…” I nodded. “Didn’t you already have a clear plan?”

“But I really am powerless.” Jiang Ruoxue said. “I really like ‘Flower’ and ‘Seed,’ but I can’t take them away. The power of one person is too insignificant. I did everything I could do… but it was still futile. That place is like a true hell on earth.”

Jiang Ruoxue described to me in detail the events that occurred in “Jade City.”

For a city that had become completely pathological, neither force nor intelligence had any place to be used. She and Li Siwei, the leader of “Jade City” at that time, discussed for a long time and finally settled on a plan. To make a disease appear to have disappeared, they could only make this city suffer from an even more serious illness.

So they personally created a “Goddess.” This was an existence that surpassed all previous leaders of “Jade City.” She carried mythological coloring, possessed supernatural abilities, and had beautiful spiritual value that could soothe everyone’s hearts.

But this was a path destined for destruction. After all, the “Goddess” had no way to lead anyone to escape. All the coloring applied to her was fake, and when others discovered that the “Goddess” was just an ordinary person, they would use the most brutal methods to pull her down from her divine pedestal.

So this was only the surface plan. The core plan was to preserve the “Seed.”

For this plan, the “Goddess” would lead thousands of people to their deaths.

“I witnessed that parting with my own eyes…” Jiang Ruoxue said with reddened eyes. “The beliefs of both ‘Flower’ and ‘Seed’ were shattered all over the ground. They could only move forward relying on sporadic glimmers of light. They will never meet again for all eternity, but why must good people suffer so much?”

“Ruoxue…” I slowly placed my hand on her shoulder, but didn’t know how to console her.

Since she left “Heaven’s Mouth,” her mood had not been very good all along. She had finally recovered for a few days, but then experienced the tragic state of “Jade City.” I was truly worried about her mental state.

“How carefree the evil people here are…” Jiang Ruoxue said with a trembling voice. “They don’t need to be as thoughtful and thorough in everything as we are. They only live for their own interests…”

“Yes.” I nodded. “The more selfish a person is, the better they will live here. But this is wrong. If the entire ‘Land of the End’ had no selfish people at all, and everyone united as one, we would have escaped on the first day we were born here.”

I had no way to refute this statement.

After all, I had recently been killing people indiscriminately in games as well. I was only doing it to train my methods and “belief,” but for those people, even if they knelt and begged me for mercy, I would definitely still kill them.

After all, my ultimate goal was to “liberate this place.” Even if I softened my heart and let them survive in the game, they still couldn’t be liberated.

“Only those with a large enough perspective and selflessness can do it.” I said. “Ruoxue, let us become such people.”

After hearing this, Jiang Ruoxue helplessly hung her head. I knew all of this was very difficult for her to accept.

While we were talking, three people suddenly burst through the door. It seemed that as evening fell, people were coming to the building to spend the night.

However, these three people didn’t look very likable—one with blonde hair, one with green hair, and one bald.

“Yo… there are two beauties here…” The green-haired man in the lead revealed a lecherous smile. “We three brothers can consider ourselves blessed.”

I didn’t pay attention to those three people. I just said to Jiang Ruoxue in as gentle a tone as possible: “Ruoxue, don’t overthink it. At least in my eyes, Brother Sheep is not that kind of person… and I won’t be that kind of person either. Even if we do many selfish things, our ultimate purpose is not ‘selfishness.'”

“Zhichun…” Jiang Ruoxue grasped her own hair somewhat painfully. “My heart is really in chaos… You haven’t seen that kind of scene… Thousands of people stewed and boiled in a huge pot… They still had smiles on their faces when they died, thinking they had already ascended… But the culprit behind all of this was just a pyramid scheme leader. He merely moved his mouth and gradually led the entire city toward destruction…”

“Didn’t he also receive his own retribution?” I said. “Ruoxue… your state of mind is very chaotic right now… This is not good for you.”

“Beauty! What are you chatting about?”

A blonde-haired man walked to my side with absolutely no sense of boundaries, then reached out and pulled at me.

The green-haired man and the bald man nearby also walked over after seeing this, and all three of them stood behind me.

My gaze instantly turned ice-cold. These people truly didn’t know death was near. I was consoling Jiang Ruoxue, and seeing her in this state, my mood was terrible.

Did you have to make trouble at this moment? I haven’t killed anyone for three whole days.

I glanced back. These people all had daggers tucked at their waists. Perhaps in other places they could be used to intimidate others, but coming to me was seeking death.

I slowly extended my hand toward my waist, leading the three people behind me to pull out their daggers one after another.

Under their horrified gazes, I brought my hand close to my own neck, and those three people also mimicked me by pressing their daggers against their own necks.

“Ruoxue, I will prove it to you through my actions.” I said. “People who commit evil in this place will not have a good ending.”

“Wh-what are you doing, big sister?” The green-haired man behind me asked with a horrified expression. “We just came to chat. What kind of ability is this?”

“Zhichun, I don’t want to be a good person anymore.” Ruoxue slowly stood up and said to me with an indifferent expression. “I’m really tired. I’m not happy at all.”

Hearing these words, my brows furrowed slightly, and my heart suddenly ached.

“Handsome guys.” Jiang Ruoxue revealed a heartless smile and said to them. “Do you have alcohol? Can you take me to have a few drinks?”

My hand froze in mid-air, and my belief also began to waver.

“Zhichun, let them go.” Jiang Ruoxue said. “Killing them merely for hitting on us—what difference would that make between you and evil people?”

After that one sentence, my belief completely collapsed. The three people all broke free from my restraint. They hurriedly retreated several steps, seizing the opportunity.

Jiang Ruoxue walked forward and linked arms with one of them, then turned back to me with a bitter smile and said: “Don’t blame me. I just want to make myself happy.”
