Chapter 531

As the Eye Skeleton reconnected to the Spirit Realm and familiar streams of information floated before his eyes, Zhang Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

Having long grown accustomed to using the Eye Skeleton, he was now truly uncomfortable with the state of being completely blind, unable to contact others or access information anytime, anywhere.

With the restoration of the Spirit Realm, order returned to the university city, and the first thing Zhang Yu saw was waves of divine light sweeping across the sky.

The orthodox gods manifested frantically in every layer of the university city in numbers and with an efficiency Zhang Yu had never seen before.

Every now and then, he could see a figure being disintegrated by the infusion of divine power, their soul being extracted.

Feeling this scene, Zhang Yu's heart tightened: "Is the purge starting?"

Zhang Yu understood that for all the destruction, losses, and criminal acts within the university city during the collapse of the Spirit Realm, the school's upper echelons and the orthodox gods would inevitably carry out a purge.

For instance, after various surveillance cameras reconnected to the Spirit Realm, the videos stored in them would surely be reviewed one by one by the orthodox gods.

And there was no telling how many people had been seduced by the demonic cult—this would definitely be a key focus of the inspection by Ten Thousand Methods University.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "There must be plenty of people who secretly recorded videos with their Eye Skeletons back then; probably large-scale reporting has already started now."

As for other matters like repairs to the university city, compensation insurance for various material losses, and lawsuits and disputes caused by conflicts during the collapse of the Spirit Realm… just thinking about it, Zhang Yu knew how busy Ten Thousand Methods University would be in the days ahead.

Just then, a series of files jumped into Zhang Yu's Eye Skeleton: "Learn Anti-Demonic Cult Knowledge!", "Why Do We Oppose the Demonic Cult?", "An In-depth Analysis of the Evil Nature of the Yuhua Sect", "Righteousness Endures, Evil Cannot Last—Another Critique of the Social Cancer: the Wu Ye Cult", "On the Harm of Wu Ye", all sent by the orthodox gods.

Looking at these files, a feeling surged in Zhang Yu's heart: "They're in such a hurry."

At the same time, a beam of divine light descended from midair, then spread horizontally like a wall of light, scanning over each person's body as if sweeping.

As passersby were swept by the divine light, some showed no abnormality, while others directly triggered an alarm and were pinned to the ground by golden giant hands.

Watching this, Zhang Yu felt a little nervous, but he knew running was impossible; he could only face the divine light's scan calmly.

As the divine light swept over Zhang Yu's body, an option appeared in his Eye Skeleton, asking whether he was willing to accept an inspection by the orthodox gods.

Zhang Yu gladly agreed—his injuries had already been treated, there was nothing illicit stored in his Eye Skeleton, and the materials sent by the demonic cult had long been thoroughly deleted.

On the other side, Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, and the other companions were likewise prepared, having already cleaned up the scene. Xiao Qingxuan had even re-expelled his external elixir and returned to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Thus, after a short while, as the inspection ended, the divine light dissipated from Zhang Yu's body.

"Whew..." Zhang Yu let out a soft sigh and thought to himself: "The basic inspection is over. There might be some interrogations later, but we shouldn't be the main targets, so we won't be strictly interrogated—probably just a formality."

As the Spirit Realm was restored, a large amount of messages began jumping continuously in Zhang Yu's Eye Skeleton.

Many were messages sent during the hijacking of the Spirit Realm, now delayed and delivered.

Mo Shang Jin: Are you in the dorm?

Zhang Pianpian: Contact me when the Spirit Realm is restored.

Zhao Tianxing: Why did you all go offline?

Ying Xin's grandfather: Can you see this? Is there something wrong with Ten Thousand Methods' Spirit Realm?

Many messages came from soul cultivators within the company. After all, when the Spirit Realm connection was lost within Ten Thousand Methods University, to these soul cultivators, it meant everyone from Ten Thousand Methods University went offline at once, and the university's Spirit Realm along with countless messages disappeared simultaneously, as if the world had suddenly lost a large chunk.

For Zhao Tianxing, Che Yufei, Hu Yuntao, and others still caught in the economic crisis, nothing was more terrifying than opening their eyes and seeing their company boss's avatar turn gray.

This made them worry whether something had happened to Zhang Yu, and whether the company was about to shut down.

After the Spirit Realm's restoration, with Zhang Yu coming back online, naturally many people sent him messages.

Lord Magnetic Pole: Come to the lab. We'll talk when we meet.

Director Gao: Go find your master immediately.

Zhao Tianxing: Boss Zhang, are you okay?

Ye Xingli (Poor Man Simulator): Junior brother, are you okay?

Watching the messages flooding in, Zhang Yu first replied to a few important ones, then went to the lab.

The moment he entered Lord Magnetic Pole's office, Zhang Yu felt his vision go dark. Then the figure of the Wu Ye old man abruptly appeared, smiling: "Magnetic Pole, is this your new disciple?"

Startled by this, Zhang Yu heard Lord Magnetic Pole state calmly: "Zhang Yu, this is someone I specially invited to induct you into the cult."

Zhang Yu looked shocked: "Master, how can this be? I can't join the demonic cult!"

After Lord Magnetic Pole repeatedly urged and saw Zhang Yu's fearful, reluctant expression, he finally dismissed the projection of the Wu Ye old man and said calmly, "Smart move."

Zhang Yu breathed a huge sigh of relief and said with lingering fear, "Master, was that just a test just now? It almost scared me to death."

At the same time, he thought to himself, "Whew... from what I learned while communicating with the evil gods earlier, it seems Master hasn't joined the demonic cult."

It was precisely because he had confirmed this that Zhang Yu, aside from his initial surprise, quickly realized that Magnetic Pole True Lord was testing him.

Magnetic Pole True Lord looked at Zhang Yu and said, "This time, the two major demonic cults caused a huge ruckus in University City. Who knows how many people have been seduced by them. The higher-ups have made up their minds to conduct a thorough investigation. Someone will come to question you later."
