Chapter 66 The Immortals and the Thousand Rock Army
Now, a new system has been born. An opportunity that can bring them a true new life, a fresh start, and a return to the light.
Once they accumulate enough "points," they can choose to sign a "contract" and become a Thousand Rock Army warrior fighting to save the continent. After signing this contract, their lives will no longer belong to themselves, but to the holy war to save the suffering beings of the mortal world, to atone for the sins they have committed in the past.
But finally, they could leave this blood-soaked, murderous city and return to the mundane world. They no longer had to place their only hope on the elusive "Path of the God of Slaughter."
"Become a member of the Thousand Rock Army and save the Douluo Continent"
A gaunt man spoke in a daze. A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Misfortune struck when he awakened his martial soul at the age of six. Because his awakened martial soul was too strange, he was ostracized by the villagers and suffered countless injustices from a young age, eventually forced to flee the village. Later, enduring the discrimination, he finally reached his breaking point and attempted to use the forbidden power of his martial soul, thus becoming what people called a "fallen one." Finally, pursued by the Spirit Hall, he fled to the City of Slaughter, where he lived a life of utter despair.
No one knew how much he missed his past life, how much he longed to return to the sunlight. He had thought countless times about what had made him the way he was now; if he hadn't awakened such a strange martial soul, what would his life have been like?
If only we could fight for something meaningful, instead of this endless, meaningless slaughter in the City of Killings, that would be better.
In truth, most people in the City of Slaughter have long been accustomed to a life intertwined with battle and passion. If they were to return to the outside world and simply live ordinary lives, they would find it difficult to adjust. They are no longer ordinary people accustomed to comfort; they are war wolves, living by battle, much like spirit beasts.
The King of Slaughter was surprised to find that something seemed to have appeared in the City of Slaughter: vitality.
In the past, although people were endlessly fighting, most of them were only confused, so they used "Bloody Mary" day and night to numb themselves. But now he discovered that there was light in people's eyes.
In the City of Slaughter, a bookstore has appeared for the first time, and the owner is Zhong Li. He stands in the bookstore, eyes closed, waiting for customers.
"Boss, you actually sell books here?"
A burly man covered in blood walked in, scratched his head, and asked with some confusion.
"That's good. Please choose whatever book you want."
Zhong Li slightly opened his eyes and said calmly.
The man discovered that the books here were neither made of paper nor parchment, but rather finely engraved characters on jade. And the contents seemed to be secret manuals related to cultivation?
On the Douluo Continent, most people cultivate their soul power haphazardly, figuring it out on their own without any real method. Although there are some who have summarized relatively efficient and reasonable soul power circulation routes and meditation techniques, these are the secret treasures of major sects and even the Spirit Hall, inaccessible to the vast majority of people.
"Is this the most expensive book you have here?"
The man held the jade book, his voice trembling slightly, and said. He stared greedily at the contents of the jade book, wanting to memorize as much as possible.
"No, that's not it. The most precious book is on your right."
Zhong Li shook his head and said.
The man hesitated for a moment, then put down the jade book in his hand, his hands trembling slightly, and picked up the book on his right.
"Douluo Continent: A Treatise on Feudalism"
Man: "???"
"If you'd like to read any of the books here, you can borrow them. Remember to return them."
Zhong Li closed his eyes and said calmly.
"Can I borrow it?"
"Yes, you can borrow it."
"Thank you! Don't worry, I will definitely return it after I've finished reading it."
The man licked his lips and said.
Unbeknownst to many, a ghost seemed to be spreading across the skies above the City of Slaughter. No, the City of Slaughter was no longer called the City of Slaughter. Not long ago, the "City of Slaughter Commune" passed a resolution to change its name to "New World City," one reason being to create a new world for all living beings, to look up at the light from hell, and to create hope from despair.
Moreover, at this time, a new legend emerged in the City of Slaughter. Besides the Thousand Rock Army, there was another entity called the "Immortal Army." If the Thousand Rock Army was the cornerstone of the Holy War, then the Immortal Army was its backbone.
There are eight immortals, each corresponding to one of the eight battle flags: Golden Roc, Qilin, Xie Zhi, Black Crane, Azure Wolf, White Deer, Sea Eagle, and Rock Dragon Lizard.
Joining the Immortal Clan would be an unparalleled honor, equivalent to being a direct disciple of the supreme immortal who transformed the entire City of Slaughter, a distinction between mortal and immortal being compared to the Thousand Rock Army. However, joining the true Immortal Clan is incredibly difficult, requiring unparalleled resolve and sacrifice for even a sliver of hope!
However, while the entire "New World City" was bustling with activity, there was also a pair of incongruous, dark eyes watching all of this.
"The City of Slaughter... is finished. The people here used to kill for the sake of killing, and now they actually have ideals? If these people go out, they'll cause unimaginable destruction. What about the Thousand Rock Army and the Immortal Army? If they rule the continent, how will my Tang Sect ever have a chance?"
Tang San clenched his fists and said bitterly.
He had also read the books circulating in the Killing City, and felt a chill run down his spine. Their content was completely incompatible with, and even contradicted, the *Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record*.
What does it mean that all men are created equal? Does it mean that nobles are equal to ordinary people? Should a genius like me with twin martial souls be equal to someone with a useless martial soul? Should a pure and upright orthodox soul master like me be equal to those disgusting and twisted fallen soul masters?
They even talk about breaking the shackles of this world and establishing a just contract that benefits everyone equally. In the world of Tang Sect, the words "equality and mutual benefit" have never existed. Within the sect, there is a hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, and a distinction between inner and outer sects; but outside the sect, all means are used, from deception and fraud to poisoning and assassination. As long as it can bring glory to the sect, any means are acceptable.
For the disciples of the Tang Clan, the interests, stances, and even lives of others are utterly worthless. Only the interests of the sect are paramount!
