Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

The first level of Spiritual Energy is receptive, perceiving external stimuli in relation to oneself and can be used to make minor changes to oneself and to "intimately" alter the properties of objects.

The second level of Spiritual Energy is emissive, perceiving the world and transforming others, naturally filtering to some extent the things one "dislikes" or is "unwilling to accept."

After reaching the second level of Spiritual Energy, the undiscriminating energy suppression field that affected all warriors had virtually no effect on Bai E.

Even Bai E could sense the underlying reason for the effectiveness of the Spiritual Energy suppression field—the wails of countless wronged souls, almost identical in sentiment to that found within the Exorcism Essential Oil. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

Standing in the phalanx of warriors within the square cabin, Bai E's eyes were clear, the once distracting influence of Spiritual Energy no longer affecting his will in the slightest.

He and Franca shared a quiet gaze and he took the initiative to walk over to her.

At this moment within the square cabin, aside from him and Franca, other warriors were unable to extricate themselves from the torment of the Spiritual Energy suppression; this was the best opportunity for "individual contact."

"I didn't know before, but now I've realized, the aura here is somewhat similar to the one in the Exorcism Essential Oil?"

Bai E had learned about the origin of the Exorcism Essential Oil after the battle in the arena.

Countless living wills transformed into kindling to battle demons, whether voluntarily or by force, human sacrifices have been necessary to sustain the core integrity amidst the erosion of demons.

It is both reluctance and helplessness.

No one can break this situation.

Franca's gaze was calm; she had come to recognize these things earlier than Bai E, having experienced the process of doubt, pain, attempts, leading to despair, numbness, and finally acceptance of reality, "Only through sacrifice can we combat demons, the more complex the experiences, the greater the 'wealth' one can provide. There's a saying in your military that's quite accurate, each of us is currency for humanity, to increase our value and spend it at the proper moment is our greatest responsibility, no one is exempt."

Her gaze upon Bai E seemed unfocused, as if looking past him at some void point behind him, "For centuries we have endured in silence, at times we sprout briefly in the sunlight, more often struggling to survive in the shadow of death, fighting and dying over countless centuries, drenching innumerable battlefields with the blood of our enemies and our own.

Humans continually sacrifice themselves, a sacrifice that allows the bloodline of humanity to persist, generation after generation, not for any grand ideals, because the sacrifice itself is greater than any ideal.

But perhaps, deep in everyone's heart lies a hope: to one day, maybe a million years hence, give rise to a generation that no longer needs sacrifice, a generation where humanity endures in peace..."

Seeing the slight astonishment on Bai E's face, Franca smiled gently, "These are the words you once told them, they've kept them in their hearts ever since, and I quite like them too."

Ever since hearing from those so-called "children of demons" about the ambitions mentioned in their first official encounter with this man, Franca knew she would not misplace her trust.

And judging by the timeline, this ruler of Black Street had only been "manufactured" for a few days when he spoke such words.

The commitment to save all of humanity from disaster had been so firm from the start, and to this day, he had never given up trying.

"I know you abhor sacrifice, but there's no way around it, our era... sacrifice is the only thing we can do."

"So is this also what you said to Fernandi?"

"No." Franca smiled gently, a hint of vulnerability as if swaying in the wind and rain, "I don't like forced sacrifices, but he seemed to feel the need to repay the kindness that had once warmed him... It was you, who gave him courage."

Compared to those who are forced, volunteers who step onto the battlefield are always easier to accept, and such a leader who possesses this charm may just be the king this era needs most.

Bai E squinted his eyes, indifferent to these ethereal praises. After all, behind these praises was the weight of lives. What he cared more about was practical action.

Is sacrifice truly necessary?

"So, what do you want him to do?"

"...It's not only the wretched souls in the real world that we can see that are suffering. Those imprisoned in high-dimensional spaces endure eternal torment. Not many of them might have embraced it willingly. Perhaps some have, but many are compelled by reality. Their existence is a failure for all of us, and at the same time, it's a source of power for the high-dimensional spaces..."

The overall strength of the high-dimensional space seemingly has little to do with those individual lonely souls. However, when these souls are regarded as a whole, the power of the high-dimensional space without this collective would undoubtedly be greatly weakened.

Rescuing those tormented souls is undoubtedly also a way to alleviate the pressure on humanity itself.

It is humanity's mistake and a trouble that humanity must face.

"Maybe there are many who deserve to die among those from other original demons, but under the eternal system, there are quite a few true innocents, and it happens that Fernandi is Their chosen one, upon which the foundation for this action can be established. Although... I still don't have the strength to truly implement this plan."

Franca felt that she had underestimated the child's resolve, having just heard his idea and impulsively seeing the plan as a mission that must be undertaken, even going as far as to bring it directly to Bai E...

"So, this plan is essentially feasible, isn't it?"

Bai E's gaze was piercing.

The harm of high-dimensional demons to the human world is widely recognized. If their power could be greatly weakened, it would undoubtedly bring a lasting respite to humanity.@@novelbin@@

If during the lull of the demons people seize the time to completely eliminate the disasters caused by the orcs and Bug Race, the humans without real-world enemies might be able to integrate themselves, possibly curtailing the high-dimensional spaces' pollution of humanity with a robust and perfected social system.

Returning to the Golden Age might not be an impossible dream.

And... if we're talking about souls, can they be governed by my own 'soul black hole'?

Can the souls rescued from other demons only utterly dissipate, or can they be "preserved" in another way by me?

I don't know, but it's worth a try.

However, this so-called "guide" that only Fernandi can take on may be up for debate...

"But we don't have enough manpower..." Franca's gaze dimmed.

After proposing the plan, she had not failed to hint around the edges back at the office.

Yet even the Judge who was closest to her completely disapproved of such reckless behavior.

Bai E looked vacant and shook his head gently, "No, perhaps there is someone..."
