"I'm not a hero, and I can't save you. To be honest, a hero can only solve your temporary troubles. If you want to truly solve your problems fundamentally, you must first transform the social structure."

Ian sighed, and he calmly said to the dead souls around him: "Right now... I still can't solve the problems you have encountered and transform a society that can make everyone happy."

"According to my analysis, the core reason why you have such a painful experience is the increasingly intensified contradictions between countries. And the contradictions between countries are essentially social contradictions created among sublimators."

"Terra lacks a lot of things right now. First of all, it is the channel between ordinary people and the sublimated ones, but this is also between low-energy levels. High-energy-level strong people and low-energy-level strong people are essentially two kinds of creatures. This is not good. To solve the problem, the planet’s resources are completely insufficient for the high-energy level of all people, and it is difficult to implement an imperial examination system and a college entrance examination system.”

"Not to mention, what happened to you was essentially a harassment action on the eve of the war between the two countries... The laboratory was all a later plan. This has nothing to do with the Ascendants. Even if they are all mortals, there will still be wars, and even It will be even more terrifying - don't think that ordinary people are good people, they can also do evil, commit crimes, and even drag the entire human race to extinction."

"Of course, maybe not. But I feel that if Terra continues like this, the final result will definitely be everyone's demise."

"So, whether it is to save you or solve this problem, we must first completely put an end to the fight between nations, countries and even cultures... In this regard, Terra is actually better, because essentially everyone is the same People also have the civilization of the previous era as a foundation, and there are no big barriers between cultures, countries, and even races..."

Maybe it's because in your own soul space, the speed of thinking is the same as the speed of speaking.

In short, Ian almost started to swipe the screen and began to swipe out a long paragraph in the soul space that would take others a long time to read or read.

The content includes but is not limited to: racial conflicts, cultural conflicts, religious wars, national riots, twelve different ways of war, and even various kinds of doomsday and other miscellaneous things.

He had obviously thought seriously about how to resolve conflicts between countries after unifying Terra, and how to establish a great federation to concentrate its efforts on major things.

Ian listed everything in detail, planned many theories, and even compiled sources for each of his theories to prove its feasibility. He could even index many documents and records on Earth and Terra's classics through keywords. It can be said that It's very considerate.

He was simply giving a thesis explanation to the group of dead souls in front of him. If there was no PPT, he would have appointed one with pictures and text.

But unfortunately, the hardest part of it all is the very beginning.

Unify Terra.

Or...

Make it understandable.

At this moment, the dead souls were silent.

The leading female soul looked blankly at the other soul who was also somewhat sane. The two souls looked at each other in confusion, obviously neither of them understood much.

——Is this the rescue we are talking about?

——No, no... We just hope that he can satisfy our simple desire to destroy this laboratory and find out the real culprit behind it... to change the world, the country... uh, and society? Is it a little too big...I would never dare to think so in my wildest dreams.

——But he is really, really thinking seriously about how to save us, even going so far as to declare war on the entire world... just to help people like us.

——Then...does he agree?

——At least he really thought about it.

——Well, at least he really thought about it.

Rather than just saying yes... no matter what the success rate is.

Ian didn't think as much as these dead souls.

He has really thought about the plan, just because no matter what he does, he will have a set of timetables and plans, and he can revise them at any time according to the actual situation.

To be honest, this is where he uses the silver chip the most, for memo timing and various reminder schedules. The little reminder butler in his head is much better than any smart terminal.

As for destroying this laboratory and finding out the real culprit...

This was originally on the schedule, so Ian didn't expect that the other party only asked for this.

After the dead souls were silent for a while, they continued to talk to Ian.

——No matter what, you have completed our revenge for us.

——This is a last word and an oath.

——In this case, in this fallen virtual realm, our power can be used for you.

At this moment.

Countless translucent pale white figures appeared around Ian. Faintly, Ian seemed to hear the whispers of thousands of people in unison, and a roar like the roar of the sea and the trembling of the mountains.

[This is our hatred, our pain, our despair and sorrow]

[Now death has turned into strength, and the end has turned into the beginning, in this cage that is about to collapse, in this dead realm that is destined to be destroyed]

【Our King, please grant us peaceful rest】

The light stream of souls converged towards Ian, and the group of pale dead souls was like a surging ocean tide, or like a roaring wind sweeping through the mountains.

However, among this vast group of souls, we can see many small, even humble shadows.

——A man who had to move because his hometown was selected as a battlefield and reclaim the wasteland from scratch, but the seedlings were eaten away by rot fungus, so that he could only sell his blood and body for his family.

——A girl who suffered from a chronic illness and brought down her family. In order to no longer burden her parents, she voluntarily found an underground agency to find relief.

——A boy who fell into inexplicable madness because of the second consciousness that appeared in his body, unable to distinguish whether he was in reality or in a hallucination. After hurting his family and friends, he was eventually sent to a research institute by his desperate family.

Behind everyone, there is a shadow.

There are shadows of disputes between countries.

It was the battle between the empire and Feiyandi that brought all this suffering.

but……

"It's been very restrained."

Ian thought so. He did not blindly condemn the choices made by the Grand Duke, nor did he think that what the Empire and Flying Fire Land did was 'crazy'.

It's really crazy. In order to divert their internal crises, the two countries directly launched a full-scale war. The results and casualties caused were definitely ten times what they are now.

Because he is too smart, too keen and rational, he can't help but think rationally about some questions that should not be rational: "If an all-out war starts from the beginning, how many people in the entire Grand Duke Thorin will survive? How many will die? I’m afraid one million is also basic…or even more.”

"Perhaps Grand Duke Thorin also knew about this incident and its ending, so he decided to use the technologies of all parties to forcibly increase the strength of his side."

He knew that the Empire and the Firelands had been waiting for a time when a full-scale war would be beneficial to each other. Just as they were on the way to the Insect Swarm, they waited for rebellions in their respective territories, and a full-scale war began in a rather strange way. It was a funny, even a bit ridiculous way to calm down, with both sides waiting for the next decisive battle.

But who but the prophet could know this?

So, they were going to war eventually...and not just that.

In the distant future predicted by Ian, there was a horrific war that swept across the entire continent. It completely destroyed the hope of all countries and civilizations, and brought the world to its end.

——Is it cutting flesh with a dull knife, waiting for death to come to everyone painfully and slowly; or is it a war sweeping the world, destroying the entire world as quickly as the fire from the sky?

If humans have to choose one ending, which one should they choose?

Ian was silent.

he knows.

This choice is just a possibility.

A possibility that hasn’t happened yet.

But now, the death of nearly one million people in Viscount Awak is a fact.

So, with a sigh, Ian accepted the torrent of it all.

In reality, the Glen Knight slowly opened his eyes, and scarlet light lit up from his pupils.

In the soul world, the white-haired boy raised his head and asked softly to the souls: "So, what do you want me to do?"

【No matter what】

The group of souls responded: [We will move forward with you until death makes you become us, or this collapsed world will completely end with us]

"Okay." The young man responded solemnly: "Then come - I need your strength to fulfill my wish."

"But this is not to save you...because what I want to save is the world itself."

【Yes, our king】

【No matter what you want to save, we recognize it and follow it】

Then, Ian felt the power.
