CHAPTER 812: CHAPTER 367: NO. 6

Ye Zi sighed softly:

"I am the Spirit Cultivator you marked as No. 6.

"Actually, more than sixty years ago, I established a powerful underground organization. Every year, the Scavenger Camp sends tens of thousands of people to the Blade Beasts, all orchestrated by me.

"But you probably don’t know why I’ve done this."

Wang Jixuan closed his eyes and remained silent.

He knew that Ye Zi had already been provoked with a desire to win; she needed to vent, to be acknowledged.

Sure enough, Ye Zi quickly spoke:

"I did it for civilization.

"Hmm... you might think my words are noisy, but I still want to explain it to you because I believe you will eventually understand me.

"The Spirit Cultivation Civilization faced a crisis long ago. Before I obtained my Core Circuit, it was already beyond saving, and most individuals within the Spirit Cultivation Civilization were still unaware.

"The crisis I speak of is not just the depletion of available Spiritual Energy on various planets and the exhaustion of resources.

"The greater crisis stemmed from the Spirit Cultivation Civilization’s loss of its ability to self-renew. They only pursue three things: pleasure, extreme pleasure, and prolonged pleasure.

"And the pleasure of the individual is built upon the exploitation and oppression of others.

"I think it’s wrong for them to live such long lifespans in vain.

"I left the few planets I was supposed to shepherd, wandered among the stars, trying to find the truths of the universe, explore the meaning of life, and find a way to save civilization.

"Slowly, I gathered a group of like-minded companions. We constantly discussed, argued, even quarreled, seeking collisions of thought, attempting to birth truth from these collisions.

"And then we agreed on one universally acknowledged fact.

"The Spirit Cultivation Civilization is entirely corrupt. We need a revolution to overthrow the decaying Spirit Cultivation Civilization, establish new order, new civilization, so civilization can continually move forward and seek true truth.

"We have no intention to extend the length of life;

"Our ambition is to elevate the pinnacle of life."

"But challenging the order maintained by such Great Spiritual Cultivation Organizations as the Bright Council Court and the War God Council Court is extremely difficult, so we exerted every effort to find... "

"Jile Sky?" Wang Jixuan asked with a frown.

Ye Zi nodded emphatically: "You truly are perceptive."

"Was it you and your organization that facilitated the birth of the Blade Beast?"

"You could say that, but actually, our plan deviated."

Ye Zi said softly:

"We initially intended to launch a deceptive revolution, letting them enter Jile Sky to survive, then shutting it down.

"But later, the War God Council Court used their specialty logic to ponder the problem and created this weapon of slaughter born to perpetuate the existence of Jile Sky—the Blade Beast.

"You know what happened after that."

Wang Jixuan nodded: "I just want to ask you one question."

"Ask, if it’s something I can tell you now, I surely will."

"You, me, Xiao Huating," Wang Jixuan looked directly into Ye Zi’s eyes, "we three appeared in the same Fortress simultaneously, is it a coincidence?"

"Nope."

Ye Zi’s gaze was incredibly gentle:

"It’s just that I was already very weak, and my soul could only slumber.

"That mother of mine, do you remember Kong Lianmei? She wasn’t actually my mother; she was just one of my nannies. To create a perfect body, I used cloning technology to replicate the cells of my original body, creating about six thousand Ye Zi copies.

"But, what you see now is the only me.

"I’ve retrieved all the other bodies. Ye Zi is now a perfect life form, possessing big brother’s cultivation system, the techniques of the Spirit Cultivators, and... an understanding of the essence of life."

Ye Zi gently bit her lip.

Suddenly, Wang Jixuan asked: "Are you a narcissist?"

Ye Zi blinked: "Nope, Ye Zi likes big brother more than herself."

Wang Jixuan suddenly laughed, looking at Ye Zi’s little face, he said calmly:

"You are a narcissist, aren’t you? You feel your civilization is not worthy of you, believing you are the most special... Let me guess, the only reason you are infatuated with me is that I am the only Cultivator in this world, possessing uniqueness."

Ye Zi’s smile gradually faded.

The imprint on Wang Jixuan’s body shimmered gently, and he tried to stand up but was suppressed by power.

He simply sat back down.

Wang Jixuan pressed on: "You’ve been avoiding telling me some real secrets, but you let slip, the Blissful Sky Curtain Technology, you and your friends should have had contact with Ancient Civilization long ago."

Ye Zi sighed: "Are you really just here to gather intelligence?"

"Not really, I was expelled by the Heart Demon. Though it sounds disgraceful, seeing the situation was dire, I severed my soul."

Wang Jixuan slightly squinted his eyes:

"I don’t want to rebuild from scratch again; I must reclaim that body... But you, Ye Zi, sigh, I want to hear you speak a truth."

"Alright, ask away," Ye Zi looked down in disappointment.

"Were you and Gao Huating’s previous incarnation on cooperative terms?"
