Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

In the blink of an eye, those who had just seen a glimmer of hope were once again swallowed up by endless despair.

"Damn it! This is never going to end!"

Xiao Yun's face turned ashen. He tried to raise the mithril sword, but found that his hand holding the sword was trembling uncontrollably.

Weakness and exhaustion came from the depths of his soul. Fighting against a king-level opponent and instantly killing three kings of the dead had taken a heavy toll.

At this moment, even Xiao Yun felt powerless and desperate.

"President! Let's go!"

Huang Haoran, covered in blood, stumbled over, his face full of anxiety.

"The northern defense line has fallen! Xin Xingfuli... is completely destroyed, and the number of people who have become the dead is currently unknown."

"Other dormitories have also experienced large-scale anomalies, and most of them have lost contact. Headquarters is also..."

"Among the professionals here alone, half have already died, and the number is still increasing! If we don't leave now, it will really be too late!"

"Yes, as long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!"

Gu Shen sighed softly and grabbed Xiao Yun's arm:

"Isn't the Tiger Legion still under our control? We can go there and make a comeback!"

"Ah Yun, let's go."

Ji Mingyu also came over, his voice hoarse:

"You've done enough. These dead... are beyond our capabilities."

"Let's go, we're still here. If we move to another place, we can make a comeback."

Su Muqing also spoke, her eyes filled with bitterness:

"These White Walker Kings are too terrifying. They cannot be killed in a short time. There will be more and more White Walkers, and new White Walker Kings will appear."

Jing Feiwan looked at Xiao Yun and softly advised:

"Xiao Yun, you must understand that even a god cannot save everyone."

More and more people began to advise him to leave.

Those who were fighting desperately turned around and shouted at him:

"President! Quickly, take those who haven't been affected away!"

A professional, his entire body covered in frost, roared at him, his eyes filled with madness, but his voice was unusually firm:

"I'm beyond saving! But you still exist, President. You must lead everyone to survive!"

"Yes! President, you should run!"

Another ordinary person raised a shovel, stood in front of the children, and shouted at Xiao Yun:

"Losing territory doesn't matter, as long as you're still here, and everyone else is still here, the ideal state will continue to exist!"

"Hurry up! We'll buy you some time!"

More and more people are standing up.

Among them are professionals, ordinary people, the elderly, and even children as young as ten.

Their bodies were covered in frost, their eyes were filled with madness, and they were almost turning into the dead.

But they did not back down an inch, and with their extremely strong will, they formed an unbreakable defensive line.

They used their lives to pave a path to survival for the rest of them!

"you……"

Xiao Yun's eyes reddened as he watched this scene.

He had seen too much death and too much despair.

But never before has anything moved him as much as it does now.

"Let's go, President!"

"Hurry! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

The urging grew more urgent, the number of dead increased, and the defense line teetered on the brink of collapse.

Ji Mingyu grabbed Xiao Yun's arm:

"Ah Yun! Don't hesitate!"

As he spoke, he gave Zhong Mo a wink.

The latter struggled to his feet, rushed over, and grabbed Xiao Yun's arm.

"Let's go, Brother Yun. In this situation, even if I risk my life, I can't bring everyone back from the brink of death..."

But Xiao Yun remained completely still.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.

Then, he slowly raised his head, his crimson-gold eyes filled with determination.

"I'm not leaving."

"What?!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Xiao Yun ignored their shock, and turned to look at those who were fighting desperately, those who were about to undergo mutation, and those who had already become dead.

"I'm going to bring everyone back."

His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated like thunder in everyone's hearts.

"I just looked at it. The core of the dead is very similar in principle to the [Fire Pact] seed. In other words, if we can extract the power of the 'dead' from their bodies and replace it with the [Fire Seed], we can turn them back into humans without killing them..."

As Xiao Yun spoke, he glanced at the preview system.

You will get what you want, but endless detours... begin from here...

From the void, a sigh seemed to echo.

Xiao Yun smiled, closed the panel, and his expression returned to its usual calm.

But the others were nearly scared to death by his plan.

"Are you crazy?!"

Ji Mingyu's expression changed drastically:

"The risk is too great! If you're not careful, you won't be able to save the others, and you'll die here yourself!"

"Furthermore, while the [Blood Pact of the Flame] can forcibly be signed, they have now gone mad, making it too difficult to sign, and there might even be a backlash!"

Zhong Mo frowned and said hurriedly:

"Moreover, nearly ten thousand people in the entire Ideal Kingdom have already become White Walkers, and more are constantly turning into them! It's simply impossible for you alone to use the [Flame Pact] to convert them all back!"

Gu Shen also walked over, his expression grave:

"Ah Yun, they're right. Even if I, our guild leader, came personally with the power of the Sixth Sequence, it would be a pipe dream to force ten thousand people to establish the [Burning Blood Pact] at the same time."

Ji Mingyu sighed softly and patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder:

"Xiao Yun, I know you don't want to see everyone leave like this, but this is a reality that cannot be changed."

"The dead are dead; we must bring more people to life!"

Xiao Yun shook his head:

"Even fate can be changed, let alone reality?"

He paused, then suddenly laughed:

"Besides, who says it's impossible?"

As he spoke, he took out two items.

Gluttony!

【A Momentary Pact of Eternity】!

"If I can't do it in the sixth sequence, then I'll just move up to the fifth sequence!"

Flames danced in Xiao Yun's crimson-gold eyes, as if he wanted to burn the entire world, including himself, to ashes.

"You're insane!"

Ji Mingyu exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly reached out to stop him.

But it was too late.

When Xiao Yun took out the two cursed items, he had already activated them.

In Xiao Yun's backpack space, most of the precious resources disappeared, and even the inventory of Ideal Country was instantly depleted, all falling into the mouth of [Gluttony].

The satisfying chewing sounds echoed as the black box disappeared into Xiao Yun's body.

A horrific rift appeared, stretching from Xiao Yun's right chest all the way to his lower abdomen.

The fissure slowly opened, revealing a dense array of teeth and an incredibly long and wide tongue covered in mucus, which was waving excitedly as if it were laughing wildly.

Xiao Yun's aura began to rise, his muscles tore and reformed, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

Soon, his attributes reached the fifth rank, and they continued to climb.

"Not enough."

Having the power alone is not enough to accomplish what needs to be done.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, reached into his chest, took out his burning heart's blood, and pressed it onto the [Momentary Eternal Pact].

Blood surged, weaving into eerie patterns, eventually transforming into a dial without numbers, hovering behind him.

A pointer quietly appeared, spinning once, then once more.

The sky and earth changed color.

The blood-red full moon lost its luster at this moment, and the starlight from the sky gathered into a pillar of light, descending from the heavens and enveloping Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun stood in the pillar of light, his crimson-gold eyes reflecting the outline of the entire world.

At this moment, it seemed that all things in the world were in his hands.

"The Fifth Sequence!"

Gu Shen's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

He had already overestimated Xiao Yun, even listing him as the most likely 'variable' to cause a change in the world line.

But he still didn't expect that Xiao Yun could actually do this.

"From the sixth sequence to the fifth sequence, it may seem like just one level, but in reality... that's a height that humans can no longer reach..."

Gu Shen's expression was complicated as he thought of the descriptions of this level of powerhouses in his previous life.

"Transcending the mundane, one ascends above all things, forging one's own path—"

"【legend】!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Xiao Yun slowly raised his hand, and the [Formless Prison] instantly unfolded, covering the entire Ideal Kingdom area!

Invisible threads burst forth from nothingness, piercing through the bodies of every deceased person and imprisoning them in place.

Neither the lowest-ranking undead nor the three kings of the dead could move an inch at this moment.

"So strong..."

Zhong Mo muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But Xiao Yun's actions did not stop.

He raised his other hand and activated [Severing the Void].

A sharp sword beam descended from the sky, precisely slicing into the bodies of each dead person and severing their core.

Immediately afterwards, [Unlimited] unfolded, and countless black dots appeared in the air, unleashing a massive gravitational pull.

The crowd watched in horror; the sheer force of gravity alone could level the entire area in an instant!

But in Xiao Yun's hands, they were incredibly docile and obedient, transforming into threads that, guided by the [True Understanding of All Things], precisely extracted the cores of the dead.

All the deceased instantly lost their movements, as if they were dead.

Countless cores of the dead floated in mid-air, emitting an eerie grayish-white light, pulsating wildly, trying to return to the bodies of the dead.

"【Candle Dragon】!"

One after another, crimson-gold fire dragons flew out from behind Xiao Yun, roaming every corner of the ideal country, opening their mouths wide and swallowing all the cores into their bellies.

boom!

A blazing flame shot into the sky, burning away all the power within the core.

Those who lost their core began to tremble violently, and the madness in their eyes slowly faded, turning into the tranquility of true death.

"Just one last step..."

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and quickly raised his hand.

[Creation Technique] Unfolds!

Ashes fell from the sky, coalescing into intricate rune arrays in the air.

One, two, three...

Ten, a hundred, a thousand...

More than ten thousand alchemical arrays of the [Burning Blood Pact] were simultaneously deployed, hovering above the heads of each deceased person.

Crimson flames fell from the formation, engulfing the dead.

"I will not allow anyone to die while my blood is still wet!"

"As long as my fire burns, I will not allow any soul in this world to perish!"

Xiao Yun chanted softly, his crimson-gold eyes reflecting countless dancing flames.

The world trembled, and endless flames surged from nothingness, sweeping up ashes and weaving them into a blazing, blood-red throne.

On the throne, Xiao Yun's face was covered in blood and tears, looking extremely disheveled.

As a king, he has no crown, nor is he in his own kingdom.

But when those who follow hope stand behind him, his crown is revealed.

Those who await salvation raise their heads and reach out their hands to him, and this place becomes his eternal kingdom!

Therefore, even the world must follow his will.

"All of you—live on!!!"

boom!

Towering crimson flames shot into the sky, turning the entire world a deep red.

Ten thousand people simultaneously submit to the throne, and are reborn in blood and fire, guided by the king's will!

The frost on the bodies of the dead began to melt, and the madness in their eyes slowly faded, replaced by clarity and bewilderment.

As everyone slowly regained consciousness, they looked at their unharmed bodies and were overwhelmed with joy at surviving the ordeal.

Some people knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Some people held their loved ones tightly, as if afraid they would lose them at any moment.

Everyone turned to look at Xiao Yun, their eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

But Xiao Yun could no longer hear it.

At the moment the last person was reborn, the backlash from [Gluttony's Mouth] and [Momentary Eternity Pact] erupted simultaneously.

Xiao Yun felt as if his soul was being torn apart. Everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed straight down.
