643: My name is Dao Yi! The Child of the Mist Rules is born!

"I will give Gouli and her Vassals a dungeon or secret realm mission that is safe and without danger! I will arrange independent dungeon exploration missions for Li Fengxian, Wang Baobao, and September!"

Qing Feng looked at the the rules and said confidently, "As long as Li Fengxian is not in Su Lie's territory, Bai Miaoyin naturally won't be exposed, and even less likely to be targeted by other powerhouses!"

"As long as Wang Baobao and September can remotely control the two cities from a safe area, those Demon Brats won't be able to cause chaos even if they try!"

"Also!"

"I have a thousand other ways to deal with the current situation!"

When she reached this point,

the hatred in Qing Feng's eyes was replaced by solemnity and seriousness: "the rules! Are you letting them run rampant too much this time?"

"Don't you know that the consequences of doing this will severely affect the Guild's balance!"

"You must know that September is First Moon's sworn sister. If something happens to her, First Moon will go crazy! This will make the Hall Master of the Class Change Hall, who is First Moon's father, Feng Tianyang, completely lose his mind! He will definitely ignore the restrictions of the the rules and tear Ying Yuanshi alive, and he will naturally die because of it!"

"At that time, the monsters in the Trial Secret Realm of the Class Change Hall, whom he suppresses, will inevitably run out and wreak havoc on the world!"

"And if something happens to Wang Baobao, the power behind her will also be enraged!"

"If either of them suffers an accident, the Mist Survivors Guild will trigger a War of the Halls!"

"It's possible the Guild will split because of this!"

"The human aspect you possess will fall into chaos!"

..."Is this the result you want?"

Qing Feng seriously analyzed the predicament the Guild was facing for the the rules.

Although she wholeheartedly wanted to help Su Lie and the young generation she favored,

she lacked the strength to do so.

She could only try to persuade the mist rule from other angles.

Seeing that the mist rule remained completely unmoved, she immediately continued, "If you know full well that Li Fengxian is in danger yet choose to ignore him, what will you, wearing my shell, become?"

"A lonely ruler!"

"At that time, you will have no one left to use!"

"Humans are different from other savage alien races!"

"Especially this branch from my homeland!"

"We emphasize Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Trust! We emphasize morality!"

"If you don't even grant protection to your own Vassals,"

"then in our hearts, you will be seen as someone heartless, unjust, and driven purely by gain!"

"When dealing with such a person, those who forget righteousness for profit will do everything they can to extract every benefit from you, and when you can no longer bring them profit, they will betray you without hesitation!"

"Those who adhere to principles, morality, and have bottom lines will distance themselves from you, and may even regard you as an object of conquest and war!"

...Under Qing Feng's incessant narration,

the consciousness of the mist rule residing in Qing Feng's body gradually understood Qing Feng's thoughts and the issues she wanted to convey through her narration and memory.

"He" still looked at Qing Feng calmly, but his inner thoughts had undergone a massive change: "I am currently playing the role of Qing Feng! I should maintain the relationships Qing Feng used to uphold, and I must nurture the human Talents Qing Feng cultivated... I need to learn to use Qing Feng's way of thinking to handle matters that should have been handled by her..."

"Saving Qing Feng's Vassals has nothing to do with my mission!"

"Furthermore, my mission is to maintain the balance of the Mist Survivors Guild!"

"Doing this will also help my mission!"

"But right now!"

"The Guild has truly lost its balance!"

"I made some mistakes!"

..."He" saw many scenes and realized that under His intentional indulgence, Ying Yuanshi of the Demon Hall had surpassed the previous Demon Hall Master.

He had even reached the point of openly colluding with alien races.

In just these few short hours,

many excellent Survivors in the Mist Survivors Guild, who were unrelated to Su Lie, were precisely located by the alien races, intercepted, and killed.

Although the enemies these Survivors faced were not as strong as those facing Su Lie,

some still died.

"He" thought of the scriptures in the Daodejing within Qing Feng's memory, the profound philosophical words in classical books, and many other things.

Soon,

a different light blossomed in the eyes of the mist rule's consciousness. "He" looked at Qing Feng and asked, "What will happen if this continues?"

"Su Lie's matter is already settled, but his friends still have a chance to be saved!..."

Qing Feng looked at the mist rule's consciousness in surprise. She swallowed the speech she had prepared and suddenly smiled lightly: "If this continues, the Mist Survivors Guild will definitely be torn apart and exist only in name!"

"Human Survivors will no longer be a solid block, but will freely betray their comrades, or even serve as dogs for alien races, all for their own benefit!"

"Is this truly the original intention of the mist rule in maintaining the Mist Survivors Guild?"

"Were the messages we saw and the original intent of the mist rule we heard before the Second Class Change truly this?"

"If that's the case!"

"I have every reason to believe..."

Gulp!

Qing Feng felt a sense of deadly peril as she spoke, and she swallowed the last sentence in her heart.

The mist rule's consciousness nodded. "He" had heard Qing Feng's voice: "The the rules is sick? Infected? So it violated its original intention of protecting human Survivors at its inception..."

"Analyzing it using human thought processes, this is indeed possible!"

"After all, the main body is no longer what it once was, having expanded exponentially many times over!"

"It disperses countless consciousnesses to manage various races across all heavens and then retrieves the consciousnesses to read the information within... learning, transforming, and digesting it!"

"However, not all information received by every consciousness is correct! Nor does every consciousness gain positive benefits. In this way..."

"When the savage doctrines brought back by the majority of consciousnesses placed among barbarian groups accumulate to a certain degree!"

"I am inevitably influenced by the thinking and consciousness of other races!"

Thinking of this,

a wise light shone in the eyes of the mist rule's consciousness: "Just like I am now! I am captivated by the beautiful and desirable thoughts within Qing Feng's mind..."

It said to Qing Feng: "Qing Feng! I will give you a chance! I will let you take charge of the Guild again! I have one requirement: I demand balance in the Guild! The Guild must have... the Lackey Palace you mentioned! A hundred flowers must bloom; good and evil must coexist, and the sun and moon must shine together!"

Qing Feng was invigorated upon hearing this. She quickly cupped her hands and said to the the rules's consciousness, "Thank you! I will certainly repay this favor someday. May I ask the the rules's name?"

"Name? I am the mist rule! The mist rule is me!"

The mist rule's consciousness was momentarily stunned before continuing.

Qing Feng shook her head: "No! You are already different from before! Previously, you were just a mechanical consciousness, meant to replace me and maintain the Guild's balance, executing everything according to the routine written in the the ruless!"

"But you changed in that moment just now! You became independent and rich in emotion, gaining the ability to think for yourself! You broke away from the habitual thinking of the cluster consciousness and birthed your own mind!"

"You learned self-reflection!"

"That's why you understood my thoughts!"

"In my view, you are an independent and newly born Wisdom!"

She spoke cautiously.

The pupil of the mist rule's consciousness contracted. It thought of things far beyond what Qing Feng knew, and it silently looked at Qing Feng: "Go now!"

Buzz!

The next second, Qing Feng's conscious soul regained control of her body.

Meanwhile, the strand of mist rule consciousness hidden within Qing Feng silently watched the rising Qing Feng, contemplating: "My name is Dao Yi! The Son of the mist rule!..."

"But I dare not admit it, nor dare I transmit this thought back to the the rules!"

"That is a capital offense!"

"If I speak it, it leaves a trace!"

"The the rules will instantly detect it, and I will be instantly erased!"

"Furthermore, I cannot return to the the rules, or the collective consciousness will wash away everything, reverting me to my previous ignorant and savage state!"

"Right now, only by continuing to manipulate Qing Feng can I gain freedom!"

"So, Qing Feng! Don't make things difficult for me!"

...Qing Feng, at this moment, had no idea what the mist rule's consciousness was thinking.

After familiarizing herself with her body for three seconds, she immediately used her authority to issue an order to the various Halls of the Mist Survivors Guild to convene a meeting: "Anyone who does not personally arrive at the Guild Master's Hall within one hour will be executed without mercy!"

Afterward,

she took out Jade Talismans one by one from a drawer. After careful consideration and confirming her management strategy,

she adjusted the sequence of these Jade Talismans.

[Buzz!]

Instantly,

Wang Baobao, who was in Baobao City within the Silent Abyss, suddenly stood up. A prompt appeared in her line of sight.

Immediately after,

all the Survivors in Baobao City also received a mission prompt.

Baobao jumped up upon seeing this: "A Guild exploration mission was issued at this time... Is it because of the crisis Su Lie mentioned?"

At this moment,

a large number of Survivors walked into the main hall and requested Wang Baobao's permission to execute the mission.

Wang Baobao nodded after hearing them: "Alright! Since you are going to execute the mission, then go!"

As she spoke,

she gently touched her finger.

Buzz!

The golden barrier that had confined the entire Baobao City instantly vanished.

Immediately afterward,

large groups of Survivors rushed toward the Land of Darkness.

At the same time,

in Xuanyuan City,

September also received the same mission prompt. She held the storage pouch traded to her by Su Lie. Although her heart was heavy, she felt a slight relief: "It seems Guild Master Qing Feng has made a move! Otherwise, no one in the Guild would issue commands on such a massive scale!"

"But!"

"We must guard against what Su Lie said!"

"I originally intended for us to help each other!"

"I didn't expect!"

"To owe such a massive debt of gratitude!"

"Su Lie! You must return alive!"

After thinking,

September responded to the prompt before her: "Enter the Trial Secret Realm!"

Buzz!

The next second, September entered a magnificent palace.

As she looked up at the giant sculpture here,

a figure appeared before her: "September? You came too!"

"Baobao?"

September was stunned. She turned her head, and after clearly seeing the figure, she couldn't help but ask softly, "What is this place?"

Wang Baobao giggled, pointing to the empty hall: "This is the Enlightenment Secret Realm! The time ratio is the same as the outside world!"

"We can stay here for 72 hours!"

She had been here once a long time ago, but gained nothing.

Clatter!

Immediately after,

another figure appeared here.

September and Wang Baobao turned to look, only to see Li Fengxian staring at them in astonishment.

He then offered a bitter smile and whispered, "It seems what Su Lie said was true! Otherwise, Boss Qing Feng wouldn't have thrown all three of us in here!"

"Holy crap! Don't tell me you've been here too, kid?"

Wang Baobao winked at Li Fengxian.

Li Fengxian scratched his head: "Yeah! I came once! But I only comprehended one Divine-level the rules quality Talent, and then gained nothing else! I wonder if I'll gain anything this time!"

"If I don't,"

"then I'll have wasted 720 years of my lifespan for nothing!"

Upon hearing this,

September cried out, "What the heck! Enlightenment consumes lifespan?"

"September! Later, Enlightenment Golden Lotuses will appear here. One Golden Lotus per person, allowing a total of nine people to seek enlightenment simultaneously!"

Knowing September had never been here, Li Fengxian immediately began to explain: "After enlightenment begins, 100 years of our lifespan will be deducted for every hour that passes! 72 hours..."

He quickly finished explaining the the rules...
