"The Moral Value isn't that important." Diana paused, leaned in, and hugged the chairman's waist. While eating tofu, she asked in an official tone, "Why?"

"Moral Value is an important function that binds The Way of the Extraordinary, an anchor that maintains order and stability." The chairman sighed. "The Moral Value mechanism announces the target's location to The Way of the Extraordinary throughout the city, even the world, and gives huge hunting rewards. What if the target is a demigod?"

Diana said, "Then the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods incident would be replayed."

"No, you're wrong." The chairman conjured a glass of red wine from the void and gently swirled it. "The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods were an accident, a sudden accident for the Lawful demigods. Neither the Lawful nor the Chaotic camps had any intention of going for broke at the time, they just wanted to hunt the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods for a huge reward."

"But it's different now. If a demigod of a Chaotic profession is wanted by The Way of the Extraordinary at this moment, do you think the demigods of the Chaotic camp will choose to protect them, or to hunt them?"

Diana thought for a moment and said, "In the past, the demigods of the Chaotic camp would choose to hunt them, but now I think it's the latter."

The chairman sighed, "So Moral Value is useless now. The demigods of the two major camps are directly starting a decisive battle in the real world. The whole world will be destroyed because of this, who cares about Moral Value?"

"The current peace is maintained by a delicate balance, as both sides are waiting for an opportunity to gather momentum."

"Actually, it was the same in the past. In the past, both major camps were waiting for Tai Yin and the stars to return to their places, it wasn't time to overturn the table yet, so they were restricted by Moral Value."

Diana pondered for a few seconds and asked, puzzled, "If that's the case, why does that Lord of Tai Yin from Dark Night Rose persistently attack the Merit List?"

The chairman sneered, "Creating chaos in the real world with Hidden Merit Value is just a side effect. What Ling Tuo really wants is that Merit List, it's a causality-related item held by the Lord of the Sun. By obtaining it, Ling Tuo can compete with the Master of Tai Yi Sect, who possesses fragments of the Compass of Light, for the Sun Throne."

Diana stared at him, curious, "Ling Tuo wants to seize Moral Value, and the Master of Tai Yi Sect has fragments of the Compass of Light, so what does the Lord of the Sun we support have?"

The chairman swirled his glass of red wine, looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the city, and remained silent.

Marshal's study.

Fu Qingxuan sat on a soft chair, her long legs in long boots resting on the edge of the desk. Her fair eyes stared into the void, her pupils unfocused, as she looked at the guild interface.

"Cleared six B-level and two A-level dungeons, Fu Qingyang, that kid, is improving fast." Fu Qingxuan said with some surprise, a chocolate bean in her mouth.

It seems that the Shu Mountain South Courtyard and Despot of Lost Kingdom dungeons have allowed him to accumulate a certain amount of foundation, plus that Swordsman's Cloak that even she coveted, A-level dungeons for the current Fu Qingyang, although full of dangers, are not insurmountable.

"His current experience is around 50%. If he wants to advance to level 9 in half a month, he can only enter an S-level dungeon." Fu Qingxuan swiped through the dungeon names, the interface freezing on an S-level dungeon:

It was the last dungeon Fu Qingyang arranged for himself before entering the dungeon, not because Qian Gongzi was arrogant, but after careful calculation....

First of all, "Fighting Alone" is a large-scale war dungeon, and arranging troops and formations is what the Puppeteer is best at, with enough time to confront, mediate, and formulate plans.

Unlike the Shu Mountain South Courtyard, a dungeon of the闯关 type, the difficulty is all compressed into two or three levels.

Secondly, after obtaining the Decapitating Immortal Flying Knife, the Seven Star Lamp Formation, and the Golden Dragon Sword, possessing the Swordsman's Cloak, Fu Qingyang is fully capable of killing early-stage level 9 combat power.

And compared to the Despot of Lost Kingdom, which has explosive difficulty, S-level dungeons at most increase the number of early-stage level 9, it is impossible for a mid-stage level 9 boss to appear.

Therefore, if Fu Qingyang makes good use of strategies to divide the enemies in the dungeon and defeat the bosses one by one, then there is a probability of clearing the S-level dungeon.

However, for her increasingly promising younger brother, Fu Qingxuan didn't feel any joy. Chewing on chocolate, she muttered, "Advancing to level 9 is only enough to be cannon fodder, participating in the decisive battle, the mortality rate soars, it's better to be an outsider and wait for the results, at least the chances of survival are greater."

She sighed in her heart, but that younger brother who always strives to be strong will never retreat, his life has only two results, either unlimited glory as a winner, or a heroic death on the battlefield.

At this moment, she heard a system notification:

Wan Jiange is the Spirit Realm ID of the Great Elder of the White Tiger Legion, the only Elder in the former Ten Elders who had a good impression of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Fu Qingxuan's heroic eyebrows furrowed, and she quickly grabbed a bucket of milk tea, gulping down a few mouthfuls to rinse the chocolate out of her mouth. Then, with a wave of her small hand, the snacks, tea, milk tea, novels, and comics on the desk all flew towards the bookshelf.

After accepting these things, the bookshelf then turned with a click, and those idle books and miscellaneous books were transformed into high-end reading materials on humanities, science, physics, politics, military strategy, and so on.

Fu Qingxuan straightened her posture and approved the application from Elder Wan Jiange. The next second, Elder Jian Ge, with snow-white hair, possessing both the gentle temperament of an elder and the stern demeanor of a teacher, appeared in the vast, boundless study.

Fu Qingxuan skillfully asked, "What's the matter?"

She spends most of her time holed up in the study dungeon, entertaining herself with high-calorie sweets, and practicing swordsmanship when she gets tired of novels and comics.

When there are major internal decisions or major events happening outside, Elder Jian Ge will enter the study to report.

Now that Elder Jian Ge has arrived, it means that something big has happened outside that requires the leader to decide and participate in.

Elder Jian Ge said in a deep voice, "The Master of Tai Yi Sect wants to convene a meeting of Lawful demigods in the Second District in three days."

Crab City, Xie Family Garden, Xie Lingxi accompanied her mother on a stroll in the garden and returned, heading straight for her father Xie Su's study.

In the study with hollow carved windows, hung with calligraphy and paintings, decorated with blue and white porcelain vases and burning sandalwood incense, she saw Xie Su wielding his brush and writing on the unfolded rice paper: "Stream clouds rise, the sun sets in the pavilion, mountain rain is coming, the wind fills the building."

"Dad~" Xie Lingxi, like a swallow returning to its nest, hugged Xie Su's arm and acted coquettishly, "Your tigress bullied me again and snatched my Charm Perfume."

Xie Su stared at his characters, "Is it from the Musician profession, or the Love Desire profession?"

"Love Desire profession." Xie Lingxi said.

She had just flaunted the Charm Perfume to her mother. It was a Dao Crystal given to her by Brother Yuanshi. Spraying on the Charm Perfume would make the surrounding opposite sex have a strong affection for her....

It was a treasure that all women dreamed of.

When Xie's mother heard this, she said, "Oh my, that is a good treasure indeed, give it here."

"You're still young, it's best not to touch things from the Love Desire profession." Xie Su said lightly.

"What will happen if I touch it?"

"You'll learn bad things."

"I'll go and learn bad things with Brother Yuanshi."

"Heh, the ancestors said to me a few days ago that the most useless person in the entire Xie family is you. Which man wouldn't be moved by a Xie family girl just wiggling her fingers?"

"Hmph, if I were a demigod, if I wiggled my fingers, Brother Yuanshi would also be hooked." Xie Lingxi wrinkled her nose, tactfully skipping the topic, and asked, "Which dungeon has Sister Palace Mistress cleared?"

The main reason he came to find his father was to inquire about the recent situation of Sister Palace Mistress.

Father Xie Su is the head of the Xie family and also the vice-leader of the Xie family guild, and has the authority to view the details of the dungeon walkthrough.

"She'll be level 8 after clearing another A-level dungeon. As for half a month, she'll accumulate as much experience as possible, so that her success rate of accommodating Nuwa's body will be higher."

Xie Su said lightly, "Palace Mistress's dungeon selection is very stable, there won't be any big dangers."

Palace Mistress was not at the early stage of level 7, and after experiencing the Shu Mountain South Courtyard and Despot of Lost Kingdom dungeons, her experience accumulation became more and more abundant.

Now it is not surprising that she has successfully broken through to level 8, but it is impossible to advance to level 9.

On the one hand, time is limited, and on the other hand, the foundation is insufficient. Her position cannot exert the true power of the Demon Refining Pot. At most, it can be used as a resurrection item, and in high-difficulty dungeons, resurrection is just dying once more.

"Level 8 already~" Xie Lingxi was very envious. If she were a Sovereign, how great would that be. Brother Yuanshi would definitely rely on her, depend on her, and make her a concubine or something.

Northwest Gobi!

In a flat-roofed house made of adobe bricks, the King of Terror sat at a table, supporting his head and dozing off.

He then appeared in a dream, where he saw a huge black-robed figure reflected in the sky, overlooking himself from above, occupying half the sky. The black-robed figure emitted a grand and ethereal voice: "In three days, the Master of Tai Yi Sect will summon the Lawful camp demigods to discuss matters."

The dream shattered.

The King of Terror opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "That old guy is going to make a move?"

His expression and demeanor became serious.

The Lawful and Free camps each had a demigod that they jokingly called transparent figures, one was the Night Emperor of the Eternal Night Church, and the other was the Master of Tai Yi Sect.

The former has been asleep for several years.

The latter only joined forces with the God of Fire to stop Asura twenty years ago when Asura was awakened by a nuclear bomb and went to Beijing to settle accounts with the official government.

After that, he went into seclusion for a long time, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, but the demigods of the Chaotic camp knew that this Lord of Stars was making moves silently. It wasn't that he wasn't making moves, it was just that few people could see the other party's chess moves clearly.

"Now the Lord of Stars is making a move."

"Knock knock!"

A burst of urgent knocking sounded. The King of Terror gathered his thoughts and said, "Come in!"

Pushing the door open was Demon Eye. He was wearing black pajamas, a sports headband around his forehead, and his expression was still tired, but his eyes were bright.

Demon Eye Heavenly General Wang Gang had just come out of an A-level dungeon, was seriously injured, and had slept for three days after leaving the Spirit Realm.

His current experience is 64%, and there is still a long way to go before level 9....

The King of Terror smiled and said, "I just received news that the Lord of Stars will convene a Lawful demigod ritual in three days. He's been playing chess for sixty years, and he's finally impatient."

Demon Eye Heavenly King scrutinized him, "Why are you telling me this? Returning to the Military Governor is just teasing you, I have higher ideals and organizations, and I look down on you old northwest men."

The King of Terror raised the corner of his mouth, "What I mean is that you are leveling up too slowly, what can an level 8 Sovereign do? Cannon fodder at most. Your so-called lofty ideals are worthless in our eyes, because the ideals of the weak can be overturned by the strong with a wave of their hand."

"So?" Demon Eye was angry.

"So, are you interested in entering an S-level dungeon?" The King of Terror said, "You know that I used to be a Swordsman, but in a certain high-difficulty multiplayer dungeon, I was affected by a Great Existence, which led me to change my profession to become a Temptation Demon."

"The influence of Great Existences on the Spirit Realm is limited, only in a very few dungeons can power seep out. Once a free profession comes into contact with that power, they will benefit endlessly."

Demon Eye Heavenly King's heart stirred, "What are you trying to say?"

"In the Military Governor's S-level dungeon, the Battle of Zhuolu, there are remnants of that Existence's power. Get its approval, and you can become a true Temptation Demon."

The King of Terror tempted, "Are you interested in going in?"

Demon Eye Heavenly King was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, "You want to trick me into entering an S-level dungeon, and then die inside."

Without waiting for the King of Terror to speak, he grinned and laughed, "But what reason do I have to refuse? Refuse someone who is proactively handing over the knife."
