Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

```

It was simply because these children all had someone to rely on.

Just like her, Meng Yu saved her and countless others, not specifically targeting her alone, but saving everyone he could!

Aboard the luxurious flying boats in the sky were the high-ranking Golden Core Masters on external assignment, soaring above the clouds, while those who landed on the ground to work alongside everyone else were the Golden Core cultivators from the Blood God Sect.

Those external Golden Core cultivators racked their brains hoping for private, intimate negotiations with Meng Yu, longing to understand the personal preferences and thoughts of this formidable person, yet they never bothered to look down upon others.

On the other hand, the Blood God Sect's Golden Core cultivators didn't boast or shout about their deeds, weren't showy or flamboyant, and didn't just take off after making an appearance. Instead, over a hundred Golden Core cultivators organized themselves into farmers, doctors, craftsmen, officials, patrollers, and more, presenting a complete system in front of everyone—so smooth and accustomed to doing so!

The light was so blinding, shining with hope that filled her with longing.

She was just an ordinary girl, not versed in many great principles, but she understood that all of this came from Young Master Meng, so she must serve Young Master Meng well.

Of course, she also harbored a thought; within her lifetime, she definitely wanted to visit her lord's hometown to see the real lighthouses and the civilization of the Blood God Sect!

She also had a small hope that if one day, her lord could lead more people to help even more people, what then?

...

After accompanying the group of Golden Core cultivators to several places, Meng Yu finished his tasks for the day.

When occupying a place, even if you have absolute military force, it's best not to wipe out everyone, but rather to make as many friends as possible.

At least, before swinging the executioner's sword, it's better to still be friends with them.

"Come down, watch over them, and don't let these people get involved in any messy situations, like using our people for sword training, coveting a maid, or any such nonsense... Remember, we are the masters of Sleepless City, they are here seeking me, keep your backs straight, and if anyone dares to act unreasonably, confront them harshly. Your senior brothers and sisters will help you wipe them out, and there are rewards to be collected."

Meng Yu rubbed his temples with a hint of annoyance. Compared to chatting with these Golden Core cultivators, he preferred chopping people with a knife.

Some of these people were essentially rotten to the core, having lived for hundreds of years, their humanity nearly worn away, leaving only cautiousness, struggling to stay alive, bragging and taking all the advantages they could, among other vicious habits.

For example, today... after tasting Miss Mai's pastries, a certain Golden Core expressed a willingness to trade something or other with Meng Yu for Miss Mai...

These fools... They actually thought this was a way to curry favor and even a slight offense might reveal Meng Yu's true colors.

...

Inside the Ascension List.

The Ascension List had many desirable items, and besides trading, many Nascent Soul Ancestors and Golden Core Masters would also update their profiles, showcasing treasures, mines, needs, and so on, even placing a few mental methods or conjectures about certain paths, enticing fools to invest or jump right in.

Meng Yu started a news channel, mainly broadcasting the various situations in Sleepless City through text and images.

Because of the limitations of the Ascension List, things inside the list could be broadcast via Water Mirror to the outside, but external scenes had to be hand-drawn, written about, or incorporated into publicity, etc., to form text, images, and other self-made materials for broadcasting.

This was a setting created by the Immortal Sect years ago to cultivate children's hands-on skills, and now it was giving Meng Yu a hard time.

Having gone full circle, Meng Yu from Earth started doing social media within the Ascension List.

If Meng Yu talked about killing and looting, it would probably resonate, but unfortunately, Meng Yu did not do that, focusing mainly on the news from Sleepless City. The interest was not very high, after all, who, being serious, would watch these news reports? Campaigns against gangsters, the completion of the East Street underground pipeline, the smooth distribution of pancakes, and the cheerful expressions of the city's people—just self-praising stories.

At this stage, the main individuals entering the Ascension List were the following groups of people.

The Qi Cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Four Major Sects along with their affiliated sects came here for the competition that was two months away. The cultivators normally spend their days training, sparring, and working; even erotica was hardly glanced at—who would care about the affairs of a remote area a million miles away?

```

As for the Nascent Soul Ancestors, along with the Golden Core Masters that accompanied them, who would care about these high and mighty figures? What cultivators should concern themselves with are things like senior cultivator's cave mansions, treasure secret manuals, decades-long love and hatred, and so on. As for everything else, isn't their time exceedingly precious?

However, Meng Yu still put this publicity into motion as a side move, just as before when Mirror Twelve took out two Nascent Souls, Meng Yu had held sway on the Ascension List.

At that time, Meng Yu didn't know Mirror Twelve's true battle strength, nor did he know that he could easily take out two Nascent Souls, so his aggressive madness then was to prepare another path, in case Mirror Twelve's forceful attack didn't succeed—he would become the main character and start another plan.

However, when Mirror Twelve succeeded, Meng Yu temporarily ceased hostilities and honestly engaged in news programming.

The script was certainly not written by him. Sleepless City had too many talented people; there was no need to beautify anything. They just reported Sleepless City's problems, hidden filth, coping methods, encountered obstacles, farming processes, public reactions, and even included some ludicrous and rotten matters.

"Indeed, the most boring thing in the world is local news."

The broadcast of the news program was done not by Meng Yu, but by Lan Qiong and Xie Mingxian, two unfortunate Golden Cores; esteemed Golden Cores turned into teleprompting machines, and the trio clumsily started their own media platform.

"There probably isn't anyone watching, right?"

Xie Mingxian would sometimes complain... After spending a month with Meng Yu, Xie Mingxian had come to understand what kind of person he was. The distance between them had grown shorter, and close relationships between people often start with complaints.

"Yeah, what's the point of this thing?"

Speaking was Lan Qiong, who, born a lady of high status, looked at Meng Yu with a bit of sorrow.

As a Golden Core who maintained her purity, it was fortunate she hadn't been violated by the enemy, but as a virtual incarnation on the Ascension List, she doubted her own allure.

She was a first-rate beauty, not to mention her noble and elegant demeanor, as well as the charm unique to a Golden Core, fragrant as an orchid, dazzling as a flower, drawing attention wherever she went. But Meng Yu was unmoved; when asked why, his implication was that it seemed too perverted.

Well, take Xie Mingxian for instance, he would sometimes get killed by Meng Yu with a single stroke, then be resurrected and return lively and bouncing.

And it was the same for her. If the two of them got together and then engaged in relations, in reality, she would still be pure as ice, and then she would resurrect again according to her real state, to be deflowered by him again and again... What a pervert, coming up with such thoughts!

"It's not meaningful, consider it a record..."

Meng Yu sighed.

Life in the Ascension List was leisurely since the day of the killing, Meng Yu didn't show his fierce side and instead lived a honest life, occasionally killing a few Golden Cores who came to challenge him and burying them in the Great Formation on the square.

It was a pity that the challenging Golden Cores were poor as church mice, even their various weapons were just average; everyone was very clear about how frightening Meng Yu was, and were resolved that if they died, they wouldn't leave any benefits for Meng Yu.

A few Nascent Soul Ancestors of wicked paths also left after a few days, everyone had their own matters to attend to. No matter how formidable Meng Yu was, he was only at Foundation Establishment in reality, and the Northwest was millions of miles from the Central Plains, so maintaining a basic relationship was sufficient.

In daily conversations, those big shots didn't even mention Sleepless City once.

Alas... Seductive glances wasted.

He looked at the noble and elegant Lan Qiong, feeling slightly tempted, yet his efforts failed, and he was rather frustrated.

Back in the days of the Immortal Sect college entrance exams, every year there were kids who indulged in forbidden fruit; after all, it was a virtual world, and anything could be done without consequences, and now, with an even more perfect virtual reality and no consequences to bear, one could even indulge in more thrilling games.

"Uncle Twelve is laying siege to the Eternal Night Palace, a large-scale war with three parts battle and seven parts politics. It's hard on you all, and I appreciate the extra effort."

Meng Yu made a helpless explanation.
