On the third day after the beast tide receded, Lette finally emerged from the small dark room.

In the room, remnants of dark corrosion evil beasts were completely dissected into scraps.

Lette dusted off his body, looked at Emily and the others gathered around, and smiled brightly.

"Good news, these evil beasts are not the result of ordinary beast packs being infected, nor are they mutated from diseased humans."

Emily clapped her hands: "I knew you were overthinking it. How could people transform into beasts?"

Lette rolled his eyes at her: "Have you forgotten your Druid abilities?

Besides, there's something in this world called beastification disease, which can gradually transform people into beasts.

I know no less than double-digit rule-level strongmen who can achieve this, not to mention some conceptual-level strongmen.

Never take things for granted, understand?"

Emily stuck out her tongue, not daring to interrupt casually again.

"But boss."

Jenny looked puzzled: "I still don't understand what's good about this news.

You mean these dark corrosion evil beasts were deliberately created, right?

Doesn't that mean the other side has terrifying capabilities that should be more concerning?"

Unexpectedly, Lette waved his hand: "Since these evil beasts aren't transformed from humans, then the dark corrosion power hasn't strayed from my comprehension and control.

If there's a part of it I couldn't analyze, that would be the most dangerous.

Fortunately, there isn't.

Moreover, since these dark corrosion evil beasts weren't formed by infecting existing creatures, then they're an additional burden on this world.

We just need to consider how to completely eradicate them and prevent them from regenerating.

Otherwise, if we eliminate so many native world creatures all at once, we're likely to be opposed by the world will.

At the same time, the extinction of large numbers of native creatures could leave hidden issues in this world.

Therefore, when dealing with similar matters, we must be cautious and minimize losses as much as possible.

Thankfully, this hasn't happened."

Jenny and Emily exchanged a glance and realized they had oversimplified the matter.

"Boss, I used to act purely on enthusiasm. Since I've been following you, now I understand."

Jenny took a deep breath: "This world-saving job is indeed difficult and cumbersome.

If we're not careful, we might not save the world but destroy it instead.

Seems like being a Savior Hero isn't as easy as it looks."

Lette wiggled his fingers: "You're right. For ordinary people, saving the world is tough enough that it makes even me scratch my head.

But if you're chosen, have fortune on your side, and are close to the world will.

Then your world-saving process will have divine assistance, and fate will stand by you."

Emily blinked her eyes: "The chosen one? What's that?"

"Hahaha, of course, it's the Savior Hero!"

"How can such a figure that only exists in fairy tales possibly... Ah!"

Emily finally recalled some past events: "Isn't this Savior Hero just like the Dragon Slayer, a legendary title?"

"Exactly!"

Emily clapped her hands excitedly: "I got it, I got it!

No wonder you insisted on going to the Netherworld's Nether Beach, and wanted to cultivate a [Demon King] there.

Actually, you didn't want the Demon King, you wanted the Hero! Right?

By obtaining the image of a Hero and bestowing it upon yourself.

It greatly reduces the difficulty of saving a world!"

Lette laughed heartily: "Not bad, you've made great progress! I'm very pleased."

"Then, then, then, did you succeed?"

Emily raised her hand high: "I want to be a Hero! I want to be a Hero!"

Among these people, only Emily had personally witnessed the power of the Dragon Slayer, aside from Lette.

With the blessing of this name, any Dragon Clan member was like paper in front of the Wise Sage.

The Dragon Slayer's Lament she left after her death became the most troublesome thing for the entire Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Clan spent a lot of time, effort, and massive resources, even losing face, but they couldn't reclaim this specialized Blessing Artifact.

Presently, like the Life God System, it is even restricted by the Holy Light Divine Court.

The Savior Hero is even more widely recognized and comprehensive in ability than the title of Dragon Slayer.

Everyone knows how much benefit a title like [Hero] can bring!

Of course, Emily wasn't thinking that opportunistically, her intelligence wouldn't allow it.

She simply found the title incredibly cool and thought becoming a Hero would be lots of fun.

"Do you think Savior Heroes are so easily found?"

Lette held his forehead: "I managed to create a Demon King's title, and it reorganized the entire Netherworld.

Besides accumulation, this kind of thing requires a certain amount of luck.

However, this world might be a good opportunity...

Oh, by the way, where is Holy Daughter Aloe?"

Jenny stepped forward to report: "She started off early consoling refugees at the foot of the Holy Mountain.

The news about the Holy Mountain successfully defending against the dark corrosion beast tide has already spread.

The number of Pilgrims has surged in these two days, especially as this dark corrosion beast tide came unexpectedly and caught everyone off guard.

Many ordinary people who couldn't reach the cities for refuge have almost looked at the Holy Mountain as their last hope for survival.

Originally just a few families came to pilgrimage, but now almost everyone comes with their entire families.

It won't be long before the number of people gathered at the lower part of the Holy Mountain will double.

Boss, are you planning to build a super religious nation here out of thin air?"

Lette laughed: "Why should it be a nation? There are so many forms of governance in this world, we don't have to limit ourselves.

The current state of the Holy Mountain is a new kind of gathering, and we shouldn't interfere too much.

Allow them to develop freely, and maybe a whole new social system will emerge here in the future.

This, in turn, is the most exciting part of the world.

This, too, is the mystery of emergence."

Jenny and Emily pondered after hearing this, especially Emily, as she was a disciple jointly taught by Lette and Lilith and understood Lette's concepts clearly.

Is emergence really usable in this way?

Or is this the true form of emergence?

Suddenly, Emily was less interested in continuing to hunt dark corrosion beasts. She wanted to observe what kind of government system would eventually be formed by these people gathered from all directions.

Perhaps this could make her understand the mystery of emergence better.

"Boss, what shall we do next? Continue strengthening the defenses? I think the dark corrosion beast tide will surely not give up!"

"Strengthen the defenses? Are you kidding? They attacked us, so we must hit them back!"

Lette waved his hand grandly: "Issue my order, gather the army! Prepare to attack!"
