Chapter 1: Shivering in the Cold

Land of Fire, Capital City.

Inside a hot spring inn.

Fang Yi looked on with a scrutinizing expression at the white-haired loli kneeling before him, her head bowed in silence.

"You are the World Consciousness, your world is being polluted, and it will soon be destroyed by all sorts of Yoma, fallen demons, and supernatural creatures. In order to maintain world peace, you sealed all the monsters away, then charged into a space-time rift together, intending to banish the monsters into the void?"

"That is correct."

The white-haired loli raised her head, clearly feeling proud of her heroic sacrifice and the feat of saving the world.

But meeting Fang Yi's angry gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

Fang Yi extended a finger, poking the white-haired head, and said irritably: "Did you never think that there might be someone in the space-time rift, namely me?"

"I'm sorry."

The white-haired loli's voice was timid.

Fang Yi rubbed his temples, feeling blood rushing to his brain; he was so angry his whole body was trembling, and he felt cold.

He was a person from Earth; while scrolling through a short-video app, a video popped up claiming that if one could survive in the Huoying Shijie for five years, they would receive one billion in cash.

Relying on his excellent business acumen, he quickly gained a foothold in the Land of Fire, and by relying on some industrial products he could hand-craft, he lived a prosperous life within two years, not only possessing a large number of industries but also obtaining a Noble title from the Land of Fire through donations.

When the time was up, just as he was preparing to pass through the space-time rift to return to Earth to collect the one billion in cash, he was smashed into by the white-haired loli.

Not only did he lose contact with Earth, but he also inexplicably merged with the white-haired loli, the World Consciousness, becoming the master of the Polluted World.

In this way,

once those Yoma and monsters broke through the seal, he would be torn to shreds immediately.

Fang Yi said with a headache: "Is there any way to survive?"

You are the World Consciousness, you've lived for countless ages and have had your fill, but I am still a delicate fledgling eagle spreading its wings; I don't want to be buried with you.

The white-haired loli said guiltily: "If we can eliminate the Pollution Source, that is, kill the monsters, we can obtain the Foundation from the monsters to purify the world."

Fang Yi pressed: "Is it difficult?"

The white-haired loli did not make a sound; if it weren't difficult, she certainly wouldn't have chosen to sacrifice herself.

A moment later, she said pessimistically: "The Pollution Source has already destroyed hundreds of worlds, most of which put up fierce resistance, but all ended in failure."

Fang Yi's face turned green, and he said with a headache: "How did they resist?"

Since they could resist, it meant that although it was very difficult, it was not without hope; he wanted to hear the experiences of the destroyed worlds.

The white-haired loli took a breath and said: "The first one to be polluted was a Technological Martial Arts World. The World Consciousness was very powerful, constantly killing the Pollution Source to obtain the Foundation and Reinforcement for itself, but in the end, it fell at the hands of a very powerful Pollution Source."

Fang Yi reached out to interrupt and asked: "The Foundation can be used for Reinforcement?"

"Yes."

The white-haired loli nodded and said: "The Foundation can create everything; it is the Foundation Stone of the world's operation. As long as one can imagine something, it can be created by relying on the Foundation."

Fang Yi did not speak, signaling for her to continue.

"The second world, the World Consciousness threw all humans into a Mist World, resisting the Pollution Source and monsters by collecting supplies, mining, and building shelters. The effect was good, and it initially blocked the pollution, but it failed because humans fought among themselves for resources."

"The fourth world..."

"The ninetieth world..."

"The two hundred and forty-seventh world, the World Consciousness allowed global humans to undergo Awakening for extraordinary professions, turning the Pollution Source into a secret realm; it was also the closest one to success."

"..."

"The four hundred and fiftieth world, the World Consciousness recruited Reincarnators, cultivating countless top experts tempered by life and death. Their raw strength had already surpassed the Pollution Space, but those top experts defected, surrendered to the Pollution Space, and became existences even more terrifying than the Pollution Source."

It was all failure experience.

The white-haired loli's voice grew lower as she spoke, her face full of despair.

Fang Yi frowned tightly, also feeling chilled to the bone as he listened, wishing he could kick the white-haired loli who had caused him to fall into this desperate situation.

However, some of the means those World Consciousnesses used to resist pollution were very familiar to him, as he had been immersed in web novels for years.

The "Infinite" style insect-rearing mode, the global Mist World mode, the global Awakening mode...

Especially the insect-rearing; the fact that it could cultivate combat power stronger than the Pollution Space was very worth his reference.

Hearing the unlucky fellow ask about her insect-rearing mode, the white-haired loli hurriedly waved her hands and said: "Master, I do not recommend this resistance mode. The experience of the failures has already proven that human emotions are complex, and it is impossible to guarantee loyalty when facing pollution."

"Human emotions are complex?"

Fang Yi revealed a strange smile, shook his head, and said: "The emotions of intelligent life are all complex, but they are often also easier to manipulate."

The white-haired loli exclaimed: "In that case, why would the Reincarnators defect?"

Fang Yi waved his hand, glanced at her, and said while pointing at the locust tree to scold the mulberry tree: "That is because the World Consciousness was too stupid!"

"The insect-rearing mode can indeed maximize the potential of Reincarnators and quickly cultivate experts through the threat of death, but in doing so, it becomes the enemy of the Reincarnators."

"No one is willing to have their life and death in the hands of others; the Reincarnators naturally view the World Consciousness as a mortal enemy, wishing they could devour it alive."

"Moreover, reality is not a passionate web novel where you can 'burst' with power just by shouting 'I'll leave my back to you.' Most of the people who survive the insect-rearing mode are insidious, cunning, and shameless villains, scum who survived by stepping on the corpses of their companions. Thinking this group of people would have the idea of saving the world? Dream on!"

The white-haired loli seemed to understand but not quite, and asked with a blank look: "Then... what should we do?"

Fang Yi revealed a gentle smile and said: "Rule will encounter resistance; only by using one's heart can one create miracles."

"As long as we are sincere enough, the Reincarnators will be even more eager to save the world than we are, working day and night, staying up all night, without needing any reward, and even paying out of their own pockets to buy tickets to fight the Pollution Source."

"Have you heard of players?"

"Without the risk of death, will the players really work hard to eliminate the Pollution Source?"

After hearing Fang Yi's plan, the white-haired loli was skeptical, but she had no better ideas.

Fang Yi smiled and said: "For intelligent beings, there are many things that can transcend death. Death is the lowest form of control; only by letting them be willing can their greatest potential be unleashed."

A transparent panel popped up.

【Fang Yi】

Reincarnation Architecture: Novice Village (Level 1)

Pollution Source: Sealed.

Reward Point: 5000

After becoming the master of the world, Fang Yi already possessed abilities similar to a Creator God; by consuming Reward Points, which were essentially the origin, he could create any item.

This was a simplified version of the System Panel he had crafted by hand, convenient for observing the players.

"Consume two thousand Reward Points to create five buildings capable of recruiting players, and recruit five hundred people."

Ninja World.

The Five Great Nations, which possessed the strongest power and were presided over by powerful ninjas known as Shadow, were bustling and noisy.

In the most conspicuous place of the Ninja Village, a tower as black as ink rose from the ground.

Countless fine rings scattered from the top of the Game Tower like fireworks, and after landing beside sentient life forms, they merged into their bodies.

A voice rang out in everyone's mind.
