I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 994 523: Battle Royale, But the Monsters Are on the Run (Part 2)

It seems that if humans are transformed into ghosts without fusing, they will only become a defective product like a Zombie.

It is true that Zombies can harm people, but they have significant flaws and are, at most, cannon fodder, rather than the main means.

If we compare, transforming into a ghost can be the nuclear bomb that decides the outcome, while Zombies are just bullets.

The All Ghosts Survival Platform is very clear-headed; their target has never been humans. Humans are even dispensable; if they manage to counterattack the world of humans successfully, the privileges humans have acquired would be transferred to the ghosts.

"Doesn't this mean it can't be weakened?" Shura frowned; he did not doubt the truth of Gu Shanhai's words, as Gu Shanhai's performance was evident to all, and it was impossible to doubt at will.

"It probably can be weakened; I'm just giving a reminder. It still depends on your investigation."

"If everyone in the village is a member of the Bai Gui Sect, then the only possibility for the village's abandonment is that everyone sacrificed themselves and was then turned into ghosts by the All Ghosts Survival Platform. You should know the intensity, right?" Gu Shanhai did not investigate; his mind was on strengthening himself, with only ten days in total. He couldn't waste time on such small matters.

Unless the Great Heaven Rank and Shura can't solve it.

"If it's really like this, it might be hard to resolve." Great Heaven Rank also spoke up.

The first time, it was a ghost formed from ten people merging, which they easily defeated.

The second time, it was the owners of an entire residential district, who were weakened in advance by Shura, making it easy to handle.

Now it's different; it's an entire village. According to previous patterns, the more people merge into ghosts, the stronger they become.

If there's no way to weaken in advance, once the BOSS activates, it'll either be a total party wipe, or Gu Shanhai will have to use some powerful item to resolve.

"With this number, I definitely can't handle it in ten days." Shura didn't have much confidence.

The village isn't big, but it has about a hundred families. Even if analyzed as a family of three, that's at least over three hundred people.

The residential district owners previously were only thirty people in total. The number has increased almost tenfold, and along with the special rules and the support of the All Ghosts Survival Platform, these ghosts are far stronger than the peak BOSS of before.

"There is a difficulty; if there weren't, why would they give us such good things in advance?" Gu Shanhai coldly remarked.

The goods have already been eaten, so spitting them out is unrealistic.

As for taking what they can and leaving? That's likely not so easy. Do you really think it's all out of kindness?

It's clear that this is not the world of the 'First Epoch.' If players mess around like that, they'd definitely come away dissatisfied.

Even Gu Shanhai is keeping a low profile and not daring to make trouble, which is enough to show the dread towards this world.

"Where there's a will, there's a way; we can't just give up like that." Great Heaven Rank also understood what Gu Shanhai meant — that is, this thing is no benevolence, so it's best not to say such things.

Naturally, Shura also picked up on Gu Shanhai's meaning and then nodded: "This is all we can do."

What else could they do?

"Alright, then let's split up and act." With that, Great Heaven Rank immediately spoke.

The village, although not large, isn't exactly small. With the perception of the three, they could easily cover the entire village, so there's no need to worry about any problems.

The three then dispersed and left.

Gu Shanhai, having no task, naturally found a place to dig and set up a base.

The matter of the Teleportation Array is left to Shura; once he finds it, Gu Shanhai can replicate it.

Naturally, the previous level's can't be used. The space parameters labeled are all different, making it impossible to open the corresponding BOSS space here. Even if it was opened, Gu Shanhai wouldn't know where it led.

'This time, they've been more generous, the Air Wall directly envelops the whole mountain village.'

'Only the Bai Gui Sect's situation seems a bit grim.'

In every level, Gu Shanhai could notice the expanding influence of the Bai Gui Sect.

From the apartment, to the villa district, and now the village, would the next two levels be city and nation?

If that's really the case, it would indeed be problematic.

Just with the Bai Gui Sect's people in the village turning into ghosts, Shura and Great Heaven Rank are already struggling, let alone more.

To be a bit stronger, fear that a nation-level might be the All Ghosts Survival Platform itself.

'The difficulty of the last two levels should be matched to my difficulty, rather than for Shura and Great Heaven Rank.' Gu Shanhai thought for a while and came to this conclusion, which made him a bit melancholy.

'All these matters piling up are giving me a headache.'

If in each level, he could fully digest the knowledge he gained, like fully learning and mastering "When Space Ceases to Stop" from the last level, he would only need a glance to see through. But now, it requires data for calculation. Even though this process is instantaneous, there is still a process.

'Forget it, think about it later.'

'In any case, not knowing the situation, it's better to go with the flow.'

Gu Shanhai figured, if he really can't handle it, he would simply pay the price to escape, not expecting to leave without paying any price.

As to what price, that can be discussed then.

Unless he can't afford it, Gu Shanhai would continue on reluctantly or go all out against the All Ghosts Survival Platform.

It's just that, from the perspective of both sides' objectives, defeating the All Ghosts Survival Platform isn't the ultimate goal of the human world, but rather to devour the Ghost World with this move.

Otherwise, how could the All Ghosts Survival Platform jump around like this?

'Moreover, there are two auras, and surprisingly these are expressions of civilization variants from the human world.'

'The ambition of the All Ghosts Survival Platform is not small; it aims to imitate the civilization system of the human world and build itself into the civilization of the Ghost World for resistance.'

'But ultimately, it's yet another failure in emulating the tiger that ends up like a dog.'

The aura Gu Shanhai had seen before as a thorn was unexpectedly a part of a civilization replica.

Luckily, he just got the book "The Cycle of Civilization"; otherwise, recognizing it would need significant progress on the seed of civilization.

"It's somewhat familiar." Gu Shanhai began to analyze these two auras, intending to use them as resources. However, as the analysis progressed, he felt an inexplicable déjà vu.

"Concept World Group!"

Gu Shanhai instantly realized why it seemed familiar.

"The Fire Aura is somewhat similar to heritage concepts, while the Blood Aura resembles bloodline concepts."

"But compared to these two concepts, the two auras are more complex and complete."

"Thus, five auras could construct the foundation of civilization as a supplement for the ghosts!"

At this moment, he sensed many things.

The Ghost World and the Human World are different; they don't have these things, so for the All Ghosts Survival Platform to successfully mimic, it must fill its shortcomings.

Ghosts have no parents, no legacy, no bloodline, and can't form effective bonds.

Culturally, there is some guidance in place, and the official ghosts have already taken shape. However, they still can't serve as the foundation of the All Ghosts Survival Platform, so they have to manufacture through humans.

"I don't know if these auras are failed defective products or if they have already succeeded."

Gu Shanhai felt a bit serious. If it's the former, that's fine; as long as it doesn't succeed, it's still weak. But if it's successful, it means the All Ghosts Survival Platform is already integrating resources of the entire Ghost World.

"In other words, these rules are essentially derivatives of the two worlds, which is why there is this eerie power."

This is precisely why Shura and Great Heaven Rank cannot resist, while Gu Shanhai can ignore them, because he is a world himself and also possesses similar rules. Moreover, he also has the related authorities, namely the Fire Aura and Blood Aura he obtained.
