Abyssal Distortion Files

"Rebel against the Prophet?"

Li Yang was a bit puzzled, but the little girl said excitedly, "Think about it, the Prophet is high above, manipulating everything. Everyone obeys him, his power is immense!"

"Don't you want to be the Prophet?"

Li Yang stared at the little girl. "You want me to kill the Prophet... for power?"

The little girl nodded repeatedly, "Of course, who doesn't like power!"

"I don't like it."

Li Yang said, turning to walk into the cave. The little girl didn't stop him, just watched his figure gradually disappear into the cave.

"Oh... the persuasion failed."

"Body, look at these two people you chose, they're so boring."

Hehe.

A magnetic voice sounded in his mind, "I told you, they are my toys, you chose the wrong target."

The little girl pouted, "You told me to monitor him, but you also said you wanted to enjoy the fun. I have to watch him and can't go find anyone else, what can I do?"

"Why not let me go to school with Sister Meimei!"

What the hell is Sister Meimei?

The voice in his mind sounded again.

"Then you can take shifts, one person one day, everyone gets a turn."

"Ah?" xN

"What 'ah'? Who's the main body, are you rebelling?"

"Whoever is stronger is the main body!" xN

"Then let's all self-destruct."

"You are the main body..." xN

......

Deep inside the mine.

Li Yang held the mineral crystal peeled from the giant snake in his hand. "These people from the church are really hard to figure out."

Arriving at the Lost City, all the metal puppets in the ancient city this time were holding weapons, standing neatly in two rows.

Li Yang walked across the bridge, and no one stopped him. He had passed the trial and could freely enter and exit the Lost City.

Because no one stopped him, it wasn't long before Li Yang ascended the steps and walked into the throne room step by step.

Pushing open the door of the throne room, Li Yang's Sect Master, the Ancient Forefather, was standing on one side of the hall, holding a scepter.

「You've come.」

The Ancient Forefather spoke, but Li Yang's attention was all on the throne in front of him.

Unlike the empty throne last time, this time a burly giant was sitting on the throne.

He was five meters tall, his whole body covered in black metal armor, with golden patterns adorning the armor.

A red cloak fluttered like a ribbon. It was also a metal creation without flesh, but it gave people a completely different feeling.

File 6: Immortal King

The Ancient Forefather struck the ground with his scepter. "Since you see our King, why don't you kneel?"

The Immortal King raised his right hand. "Zhen You, no need to be like this."

"If he doesn't want to kneel, then he doesn't have to."

Zhen You?

Li Yang glanced at the Ancient Forefather. His name is Zhen You?

But that's nothing. What's interesting is that the Immortal King was actually holding a Little Red Book in his fingertips.

Judging by the Immortal King's proportions, that Little Red Book was indeed a bit too small, only able to be held with his fingertips.

"I heard, you brought this thing last time?"

Li Yang nodded, and the King placed the Little Red Book on the throne beside him. "Although I don't know who Marx is, I agree with the theory he proposed."

Huh?

Li Yang was completely stunned. "You said, you agree with Marxism?"

Seeing that Li Yang didn't believe him, the Immortal King stood up directly. "Our country has a long history, and the class rule that has existed for a long time has solidified in the hearts of the people."

"Slave trade, landlord tycoons, power dispersion, bureaucratic corruption."

"I have always longed to change this situation, so I began to drastically overthrow the old system and establish a new system."

"That is, reform and change."

"I wanted to strengthen the centralization of power, so I set up more official positions in the court, but it led to administrative chaos, and officials and the people found it difficult to adapt."

"I wanted to abolish the slave system, so I banned the slave trade, but because of the lack of supporting policies, the actual effect was limited."

"I nationalized the land and distributed it uniformly by the state, implementing land reform, but it touched the interests of those landlords and powerful families, and was eventually abolished helplessly..."

"I wanted to balance the market economy to prevent merchants from forming a monopoly and raising prices, so I established the Market Economy Administration."

"But I didn't expect that the administration was bought by officials and merchants in the process of implementation, which instead exacerbated exploitation and monopoly."

"Later, I repeatedly promoted currency reform, trying to find an optimal solution, but it led to inflation and currency devaluation."

"I have reflected on myself, is everything I have done really wrong?"

"I reformed internally and expanded externally, nipping external threats in the bud, but it aroused resentment from both gods and men."

"Locust plagues, droughts, followed one after another, bureaucratic corruption, peasant uprisings."

"Until the arrival of a meteorite from outside the sky, it completely ended my era."

"In the boundless cold, I thought day and night, was I wrong, or was my method wrong?"

Li Yang felt deeply after hearing these words. The king in front of him was indeed very thoughtful, and his vision was even more advanced.

"It's the era that was wrong."

The King turned to look at Li Yang. "I used to think so, until I read the book you brought."

"I realized that it was not the era that was wrong, but that I was moving too fast and had forgotten the fundamental meaning."

"The people are innocent, but their vision is limited."

"The class rule that has existed for a long time has been imprinted in their minds. I failed to erase this imprint and forcibly promoted the change. That is the reason for my failure."

"So this time, I will definitely succeed in making a comeback."

Li Yang shook his head. "Someone has already succeeded, you don't need to try again."

The King was stunned. "You said, someone has already achieved socialism?"

Li Yang nodded.

The King sat back on the throne in a daze. "Already, someone has succeeded... So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

The Ancient Forefather stepped forward. "My King..."

The King waved his hand. "Zhen You, no need to say more. Since they have done it, it proves that the method is correct, and I was wrong."

"Let's deal with the main business first. Did you bring the snake egg?"

Li Yang took out the oval crystal core from his pocket, but it flew into the King's hand on its own. "With this thing, we can lure the Ancestral Snake to appear."

"Zhen You, prepare the ceremony."

The Ancient Forefather nodded and then left the throne room with his scepter. Li Yang wanted to follow to see, but the King stopped him.

"Wait."

"Li Yang, do you know where the crystals in our bodies come from?"

Li Yang looked up and saw the King pointing to the ground. "This underground ancient city is built above the abyss, and beneath this abyss is the meteorite that fell from the sky back then."

"The crystals we use to carry our consciousness are a kind of ore wrapped in the meteorite. This is the source of our power."

"And the birth of the Yellow Spring Serpent is also inextricably linked to the meteorite. Therefore, our power systems are extremely similar, and can even be said to be mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining."

"If the snake obtains our crystal core, it can break through the limits of its own abilities."

"And if we obtain the snake's crystal core, we can greatly enhance ourselves. The snake's scales are even superior materials for us to shape our bodies."

"Even if you are flesh and blood, you can use the snake's scales to forge armor to arm yourself."

"Huh?"

"Do you have anything you want to say?"

Li Yang had a question mark on his face. Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?
