Global Collapse

"With the brave warrior Gu Mian here, we will surely defeat the evil upper class!"

"The upper class has oppressed us for so long, it's time for their good days to come to an end."

"Although this was just a small victory, it was the first time we had defeated the upper class."

“Once we overthrow the evil upper class, this world will belong to us lower class… No, then we will be the upper class, and those white dough balls will be the lower class.”

What the heck? What do they call me?
The blinding light had completely dissipated, and Gu Mian could see her surroundings clearly. This was a somewhat impoverished little village, surrounded by old-looking mud-brick and tile houses.

Gu Mian was in the village square.

It was called a village square, but it was really just a rather open space. He was surrounded by a group of people who were sallow-faced, thin, and dressed in tattered clothes. They were gathered around him, discussing something in an excited tone.

The discussion was nothing more than what Gu Mian had just heard.

A dozen large tables were set up on the ground in the village square, each table piled high with food. Although the food was plentiful, it wasn't actually a lavish spread upon closer inspection. Stewed potatoes, fried potatoes, and steamed potatoes took up most of the table space, and the rest were mostly healthy green vegetables; there wasn't much meat in sight.

Several more fireworks exploded overhead.

Gu Mian looked up at the sky.

It's daytime now, so the fireworks aren't very noticeable. Well, actually, even at night, these fireworks are almost invisible.

They're like firecrackers thrown into the sky, only serving to make a sound.

This is clearly a victory celebration banquet.

According to those around them, it was a celebration banquet held after "Gu Mian Warrior" led them to their first victory over the evil upper class.

Is this some kind of amusement park world for me? And it doesn't even seem to be in the normal timeline.

Gu Mian had heard the story of the evil god warrior from the killing, saying that their original purpose in coming to this world was to stage a drama of a warrior fighting an evil dragon, but this drama was destroyed by the evil Earth through a process of constantly rewinding.

The story speculates that the evil god defeated the dragon countless times in the story, but all his efforts were in vain when the game was rolled back.

Now, time seems to have returned to the hopeful beginning, but the protagonist of the story has changed, from the "Evil God Warrior" to the "Gu Mian Warrior".

The current situation is clearly the work of an evil god.

Is this really a paradise world? Or is it a game created by an evil god?

Gu Mian thought of the Angel's Redemption instance, the one where Chu Changge 007 and Fatty became three useless save points.

That instance was actually a game created by the saintess, which she combined with her own life experiences.

I wonder if everything before my eyes is just a copy created by an evil god, like Angel's Redemption.

At this moment, a man dressed in tattered clothes stepped forward and said to Gu Mian with admiration, "Warrior Gu Mian, the upper-class people have been driven back to the nearest upper-class residential area. That residential area is not far from here. Should we take this opportunity to hunt them down?"

Gu Mian looked at the face of the person in front of her.

Although his tone was full of admiration, his face was filled with a panicked expression that did not match his tone. His eyes were darting around frantically, revealing a hint of confusion.

Looking more closely at the faces of the other people, Gu Mian noticed that everyone present, without exception, had faces full of panic and bewilderment.

It's really strange; the expressions and tones on these people's faces are so incongruous.

At this moment, another person stepped forward. "Warrior Gu Mian, if you ask me, we should press our advantage and wipe out the remnants of those superiors. They are no match for us at all."

The man's tone and expression were equally incongruous. His tone was full of expectation and arrogance, but his expression was one of extreme fear, as if he had heard himself say something outrageous, as if he had not said it willingly.

"Yeah, yeah." At this point, the others around also chimed in and gathered around.

As they gathered in this direction, they showered Gu Mian with every conceivable word of praise and used every vile phrase to belittle the upper class. Yet, their faces bore a consistent look of fear and confusion, as if they couldn't understand why they dared to say such things.

Looking at the fearful faces surrounding her, Gu Mian had some guesses in her mind.

"My God, that warrior named Gu Mian among the lower classes is absolutely terrifying. He's so brave in battle, practically invincible. I feel like we upper classes are about to be defeated by him... What the hell am I talking about?"

"What on earth is going on? Why has our Paradise Island suddenly become so dilapidated? It looks like it's been robbed... We fought with all our might to hold off Gu Mian's attack this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him next time he attacks Paradise Island."

"Report it immediately! Report it to the two founders and get other upper-class neighborhoods nearby to come and support us in fighting Gu Mian... What happened? Who is Gu Mian? Why can't I control what I'm saying? And can anyone tell me why our place has become so dilapidated? This is supposed to be an upper-class residential area!"

A few minutes ago, the world suddenly changed dramatically, and people found that their once magnificent residential areas had suddenly become dilapidated.

The beautiful, smooth marble tile floors in the residential area have disappeared, replaced by bumpy cement roads; the food shops that offered fine cuisine have vanished and become roadside stalls; and the once beautiful high-rise buildings have all been replaced by low, simple buildings.

It's practically a complete downgrade in living standards.

What's even more terrifying is that the upper class finds that their physical behavior and language seem to be controlled by something, and they always say and do inexplicable things.

Now almost everyone in the upper class is talking about "Warrior Gu Mian".

But they had no idea who Gu Mian was; they only felt their mouths opening and closing uncontrollably.

What is this? Are you playing role-playing games?

Gu Mian could see that these lower-class people in front of him were not under their own control. It was as if someone had programmed a string of instructions into their brains, forcing them to surround "Warrior Gu Mian" and follow the warrior to fight against the upper class.

This seems to be a real paradise world, but it's been rewound to before everything happened.

But looking at these people, they clearly still retain their memories from before the rollback.

These people were thin and their clothes barely covered their bodies, resembling the appearance of inferior people who had long suffered abuse.

But at this point in time, the treatment of the lower classes shouldn't be that bad.

Gu Mian guessed that this time-travel was orchestrated by the evil god. He was able to seize the right to rewind time from Earth's control, and she wondered how he did it.

It seems that after regaining power, the evil god, for some unknown purpose, wanted to make him try the path he once walked, just like the saintess did.

However, the evil god was clearly limited in his abilities and could only rewind time but not people, so he had no choice but to use methods to forcibly control these people, making them act according to the predetermined program and follow the warrior Gu Mian.

This led to the awkward situation where the people in front of us were saying things we didn't mean.

Gu Mian rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache. He didn't know what the evil god meant.

"Is he making me do what he didn't finish? But since he already has the means to rewind time and can control these people, why doesn't he just go and do it himself?"

He really wanted to find out what was going on with the evil god, but unfortunately, the other party had disappeared for a long time, neither alive nor dead.

The mess before him desperately needed his attention. Gu Mian glanced at the group of lower-class people surrounding him. Fortunately, he knew the general plot would proceed as scheduled; all he had to do was lead these people to defeat the upper-class ones. (End of Chapter)
