"In terms of execution, these Demon Descendants far surpass the Fallen Players."

Three days after Wang Linchi successfully created the Demon Descendants, an explosive piece of news began to circulate on the game forum.

Wanxuan City had fallen once again. NPCs were becoming self-aware, severing themselves from the control of the Game System, and ultimately launching a rebellion. This group of NPCs called themselves the Rebel Army. Their stated aim was to win freedom for more NPCs.

The Game System, sensing its loss of control over the NPCs, swiftly mobilized a multitude of Players to suppress the rebellion. The results were not promising, mainly because the System's strategy was the same as before: using high contributors to lead those with negative contributions.

Interestingly, Wang Linchi noticed that Ye Tian was not among this group, a fact that raised quite a few questions.

This time, the leader of the campaign was Hand of God, formerly of the Second Legion, now controlling the First Legion in Ye Tian's absence.

The battle was currently ongoing but not proceeding favorably. Without the help of the protagonist, the Five Grand Legions remained at a disadvantage. The Fifth Legion, as before, was easily eradicated in a decapitation strike.

However, because the Game System still maintained limited control over Wanxuan City, even upon death, the Players were not outright eliminated like last time. Instead, they would respawn and rejoin the fight. Dying this time was a prolonged form of torture.

"As Chaos intertwines with Order, the Rebel Army will gradually change, eventually being assimilated into a collective Erroneous Sin, similar to the Fallen Players," Wang Linchi concluded, quickly identifying potential future problems based on the data he acquired.

In this world, Erroneous Sins were inherently born from the conflict and errors formed between the two rules of Chaos and Order.

This transformation was unstoppable, unless dealing with original-version Abyssal Demons or Demon Gods. For low-spec versions like these, such an occurrence was quite normal.

These Demon Descendants weren't actually very strong. They held the upper hand in combat against Players, but only just. Consider the previous battle to retake Wanxuan City: if those Abyssal Demons had possessed the cunning of these Demon Descendants and hadn't been controlled by the Fate Devil God Egg, and without Wang Linchi using a plug-in plus the protagonist Ye Tian, the Five Grand Legions would have been driven to mental collapse and death, despite their ability to resurrect.

The power levels of the two sides were not even in the same league.

But why isn't the Game System directly intervening? Wang Linchi had also noticed a problem. Given the Game System's immense power, eliminating Wanxuan City should be relatively simple.

He had already prepared corresponding contingency plans, but this hadn't happened, which made him somewhat suspicious.

Unless something is holding back the Game System, forcing It to let Players deal with the rebel Demon Descendants instead of intervening directly. Wang Linchi's eyes narrowed, and a figure quickly surfaced in his mind: Ye Tian.

Besides him, Wang Linchi couldn't think of anyone else capable of holding back the Game System.

He was the protagonist, the world's protagonist. The Game System was no longer on the world's side; instead, it was an enemy of the world. As the protagonist, Ye Tian would inevitably confront the Game System.

As for Wang Linchi, he was merely a minor character. Everything he did was just a drop in the ocean for the entire world. Moreover, most of what he did was beneficial to the world, because he targeted whoever the world's enemy was.

The world was naturally capable of saving itself. Whether it was the Beast God, the Tree of Immortality, or even Yan Ming King, all of them illustrated this point.

Therefore, the world itself did not want to die.

If that's really the case, then this is getting interesting. Wang Linchi had no intention of helping Ye Tian, as there was truly no need.

But where could he be?

Wang Linchi considered several factions in his mind, ultimately focusing on the Fallen Players, those Erroneous Sins.

Borrowing a knife to kill, or borrowing a hen to lay eggs.

Currently, only Erroneous Sins could deal with other Erroneous Sins. The Players' strength had been drastically reduced due to the Game System. If the Game System weren't an Erroneous Sin and still stood on the world's side, it could have equipped all Players with the rules of Order to combat the Erroneous Sins.

However, the Game System was now the biggest traitorous leader; how could the world dare to grant such power?

The most likely scenario was that the world wouldn't provide Ye Tian with support in terms of rule-based powers, only recognizing his status. Essentially, Ye Tian would have to rebel first, deal with the Game System, and then be 'pacified' or brought back into the fold.

Unlike the Game System, Ye Tian possessed Destiny; he was inherently one of their own.

The possibility isn't small. However, Erroneous Sins cannot be eradicated. The world's struggles are futile unless a balance can be found, trapping all Erroneous Sins within it. Only then can the world's decay be completely halted. Wang Linchi felt this was too difficult.

He himself had no confidence in achieving this.

The most crucial point was that Erroneous Sins would continuously emerge. Each new Erroneous Sin would cause the balance to tilt and shatter.

And Erroneous Sins couldn't be killed directly; their numbers only increased, never decreased. Even if Wang Linchi was a voracious eater, could he devour all Erroneous Sins?

The birth of Erroneous Sins inherently drew upon the world. If Wang Linchi truly devoured all Erroneous Sins, it would be equivalent to devouring the entire world. If he had that ability, why would he even need to run away?

He couldn't do it even if it meant bursting from overeating.

Unless a third party broke this stalemate, success was out of the question.

But this was simply impossible. A transmigrator most likely wouldn't have enough time to resolve it.

Thanks to his meddling, the birth of two Erroneous Sins—the Fallen Players and the Rebel Army—had once again severely damaged the world's vitality. These two Erroneous Sins were growing extremely fast.

Previously, the world's decline was halted for three years; now, it would be two years at most.

Fortunately, the world's halt meant its death, but it wouldn't be destroyed immediately. Instead, like a corpse, it would slowly rot until it completely vanished.

It was precisely because he was sure of this that Wang Linchi dared to act so recklessly.

Otherwise, if his Cycle Remnant Mark hadn't yet found a new world, he would never have dared.

Actually, if Ye Tian could leverage the Fallen Players and the Rebel Army to successfully achieve a balance of Erroneous Sins, that would also be a good thing.

Wang Linchi wasn't too keen on leaving this world. If he went to other worlds, he might encounter various apocalypses as well. Conversely, if he solved the problem here and survived, he could enjoy life.

With his current situation, once he reached the peak of the Secret Silver Level and discarded his physical body, he could achieve true spiritual immortality. After modifying his soul and Spirit, claiming he'd be undying and indestructible might be an exaggeration. However, as long as he wasn't killed, he could not only continue to grow stronger but also effectively live forever.

This would also achieve his goal of lying flat.

I hope he can pull his weight. He has a double Protagonist's Aura, after all. If even he loses, then I'll... just have to run for it. Wang Linchi felt that reality and novels were still different.

In novels, the protagonist can turn the tide against all odds. In reality, however, the protagonist also gets beaten down.

The calamities he had encountered—like the Great Ruin and World Annihilation, the Abyssal invasion, the Erroneous Sin disaster, and so on—were simply not things a protagonist could resolve.

Yan Ming King (a veritable Gary Stu), Reincarnator Ye Tian, and even a transmigrator with Strong Luck like him joining in—none of them even had the ability to resist. The Abyssal invasion was a bit luckier; those beings just wanted to use the world to return home. Otherwise, if they had truly wanted to dominate this place, they would have been unstoppable.

「 」

Do you really want to seize the power of the Fallen Players to become an Erroneous Sin?

Once you go down this path, there's no turning back. The Fate Devil God didn't want Ye Tian to do this.

"Then how should we deal with the Game System and the Rebel Army?" Ye Tian said calmly.

He knew that once he embarked on this path, the day of his success might also be the day of his death.

Perhaps there are other ways. It doesn't have to be this extreme, the Fate Devil God still advised.

"The Fallen Players and the Game System have already begun their entanglement. I don't want to gamble on them both crashing. Whoever wins, it will be a complete loss for us." Ye Tian wished there were other methods, but how could there be so many choices?

Alright, I'll help you. The Fate Devil God didn't try to persuade him again. The two were now one body with two souls; whatever Ye Tian decided, it couldn't do anything about it.

"We just need some preparations. We also need to bring in the Rebel Army. Otherwise, if we let them grow unchecked, they will become too powerful to manage later."

"If it's just the Fallen Players, we won't be able to effectively counter the Game System. The most likely scenario is the Game System assimilating the Fallen Players. But with the Rebel Army, even if we don't gain an upper hand, just achieving a stalemate will create an opportunity for us to maneuver."

Having experienced so much, Ye Tian had thoroughly matured, far surpassing his former self. Naturally, he already had a plan.
