Extraordinary Puppet Master

Chapter 338 This is the best of times, and it is also the worst of times

The widespread use of steam core technology has directly eliminated the traditional employment model, and a large number of jobs have been completely replaced by automated robots such as 'spiders'.

Countless workers who had not even had the opportunity to receive basic education since childhood became unemployed overnight and starved to death because they could no longer find a job.

The irony is that before being fired, most of them were earning meager wages and working more than twelve hours a day, working in teams of two, 24 hours a day, all year round.

In factories with roaring machinery, workers are sweating and doing heavy physical work that is dirty and tiring, and there is a risk of injury or even loss of limbs at any time.

But even if they are still alive, after the automation revolution, they who are illiterate and cannot count will no longer be able to find a job.

It wasn't until various countries established an institution called a workhouse in order to curb the same crazy expansion of cult groups and the exponential growth of evil creatures that the people at the bottom once again got a chance to live.

That era was also an era when various cult groups were making great profits.

Countless people at the bottom who can't survive either join the cult group for a bite to eat, or their bodies and souls are harvested by the cultists after death.

And more unemployed workers either turned into evil spirits due to extreme negative emotions during their lifetime, or they turned into evil spirits with deep resentment after death.

Extreme negative emotions are a breeding ground for evil things. For a time, the mortal world is like a chaotic dance of demons. People and ghosts are all showing off, and only the untouchables are in despair.

As the saying goes - this is the best of times, and it is also the worst of times.

After several years of fermentation, nobles from various countries realized that the number of evil spirits wandering in the city seemed to be slightly more.

At this time, they reluctantly plucked out a hair from their wealth and set up a welfare institution that could allow these untouchables to survive.

In this way, the untouchables can survive, various countries and extraordinary organizations are making a lot of money, and the cult groups are too busy digesting the benefits and have no time to make troubles.

Everything is so happy, as if peace and prosperity have arrived.

But at this time, no one knew that the seeds of destruction had taken root and were growing vigorously.

The blazing sun and invisible fire have been purifying the souls of the dead in the world since their birth. This has been taken for granted by everyone, but they don't know that Si Chen also has limits.

Countless lives in the mortal world have died and countless resentful souls have been born. Two Si Chens need to purify the resentful souls to be freed. Otherwise, the whole world would have been filled with evil spirits.

However, since the automation revolution began, the average number of resentful souls born every moment has increased tenfold and a hundredfold, which has placed a heavy burden on the two Sichens and made them somewhat overwhelmed.

The massive pollution caused by too many resentful souls will not be noticeable in a short period of time, but as time goes by, even Si Chen will not be able to carry so many resentful souls.

As pollution accumulates day by day, the number of evil spirits in the mortal world and the spiritual world is increasing. Although this growth rate is not obvious, after more than 40 years of fermentation, even a fool can realize that something is wrong.

Soon, everyone discovered that there was something wrong with the blazing sun and the invisible fire. If it continued like this, it would be a matter of time before it fell.

However, very few people paid attention to this situation. If Si Chen died, he would die. After all, it was just that there were more evil spirits, so it was no big deal.

Could it be that in order to help the two Si Chens lighten their burden, they were asked to cut their flesh to feed the untouchables, so that these guys who were worried about death would smile and not degenerate into evil spirits?

How can it be!

In the first era, when there was no Si Chen to purify the evil spirits, didn't the mortal world and the spiritual world come over just fine? What's all the fuss about?

There are even many people who are mocking the two Si Chens in their hearts as idiots. It's just a little more evil spirits in the mortal world. Is it necessary to not even care about their own lives?

So all the countries and extraordinary organizations in the world continued to play music and dance, until one year before the Ice Vapor Calendar, the Blazing Sun and the Invisible One finally fell.

The moment they fell, almost 20% of the extraordinary beings in the world also died instantly, either dying suddenly or transforming into evil beings.

Most of these extraordinary beings are wild extraordinary beings, and they are all cultivating secret transmissions originating from the two Si Chens.

They almost didn't know that the two Si Chens on the Holy Spirit Path had a problem and failed to find a way to switch to secret transmission in time, and were directly implicated in the fall of their own origins.

In an instant, the mortal world exploded, and there was a real chaotic dance of demons.

But for the various forces who had long expected this situation and made full preparations, it was just another carnival feast.

Evil objects are resources for the strong, and no one thinks they have too many resources.

And just when all the forces were happily harvesting massive amounts of evil, someone finally noticed something was wrong and realized that something was wrong.

One month after the death of the two Si Chens, a sudden cold wave swept the entire world.

From the spiritual world to the mortal world, from the New World to the boundless sea to the Old World, the temperature in all places quickly dropped to minus 20 degrees in one day.

Countless poor lower-class civilians suddenly froze to death on the streets due to the incident.

Countries in various countries were busy suppressing the matter while issuing announcements to tell the public not to panic. It was just because a cold wave broke out after the death of the two Si Chens, and it would be fine after a while.

In the next month, the cold wave gradually subsided and everyone's high spirits were relieved. Although the temperature was still low, in most people's eyes, this was a good sign and things would get better after a while. .

But all the demigods and blood gods already felt that something was wrong.

Many of them have divined that a terrifying cold wave will hit within about two sixth era years (the second era only has six celestial beings, so there are only six months in a year). That is A cold wave that is enough to destroy all life in the mortal world!

This news quickly swept through the entire mortal world. For a moment, everyone panicked and regretted it.

If they had known that the death of two Si Chens would have such serious consequences, they would definitely not have left those damn untouchables to fend for themselves.

At this point, it was too late to say anything. All countries and extraordinary organizations took action, allocating resources everywhere while moving a large number of direct descendants into the spiritual world.

But there are too many people, and the spiritual world can only hold a small part, so they still have to prepare in the mortal world.

Different forces have different plans.

The Wellington Empire, where the New Home settlement is located, designed an energy tower powered by a steam core, which is the steam tower of the New Home settlement.

The energy tower only needs to burn fossil fuels such as coal mines to supply huge amounts of heat, and the conversion efficiency is close to perfect.

As a result, construction began on more than 300 high-quality coal mine sites, and a basin with a diameter of several kilometers was forcibly carved out by legendary experts.

The settlements are built in these artificially dug basins. Each settlement is designed to accommodate 10,000 people, with nearby coal mines for heating, and specially designed greenhouse plantations to produce food to achieve self-sufficiency.

At this time, the "untouchables" who were in numb despair were forced to work as laborers into steam locomotives and went to various basins to work under the double threat of death from nature and the strong.

Countless factories are working overtime to produce components for energy towers and other functional buildings in settlements, and one master after another is working day and night to build the steam core.

Just when everything was going according to the plans of these countries and extraordinary organizations, an accident happened.

The cultists spread the news crazily in secret, letting each worker learn a desperate fact.

Untouchables like themselves would never be able to live in the settlement they were building with their own hands. When the settlement was built, their fate would be death, and their flesh, blood, and souls would become extraordinary material reserves for those nobles.

After learning this desperate fact, these workers, who had been silent all their lives, finally broke out crazily.

Anyway, it is a dead word, so what are you afraid of?

Even if the gods are in front of them, they will bite off a piece of meat!
