Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

"Former Disciplinary Inspection Department Director Liu Heshan was a figurehead who assisted in doing nothing, colluded with evil forces, and turned a blind eye to various criminal acts."

"He is greedy by nature. He illegally embezzled 850,000 boxes of energy potions and countless other important supplies..."

"They allowed their subordinates to engage in bribery activities on a large scale and provided shelter for criminals."

"According to the general regulations of the safety zone, a sentence is now passed on Liu Heshan and his relatives, his subordinates Liu Shilong, Liu He, Zhang Ming, Chang Li, etc., a total of 922 criminals."

"Deprive them of all their rights and carry out a public execution immediately!"

"Former Minister of Construction of the Environmental District Zhu Fei..."

"Former Logistics Support Minister Michelson..."

Li Ming read slowly for more than ten minutes, listing in detail the crimes of the ministers involved in the case.

Except for Miao Qianqian, who was removed from her position as Minister of Resources Management as punishment for poor management, the other six ministers and their cronies, totaling more than 2,000 people, were all sentenced to death.

As for the remaining thousands of people, they were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from several years to several decades, depending on the severity and specific circumstances of their crimes.

"In addition, the immediate family members of all those sentenced to death will be permanently expelled from the safe zone!"

Li Ming's final declaration was like a heavy hammer, shattering the last hope of countless people in the center of the square.

Being expelled from the safe zone is effectively tantamount to being sentenced to death.

The pollution outside is extremely serious. Once you are polluted, if you cannot return to the safe zone in time to seek purification from the statue, you will soon become a deformed monster who has lost consciousness.

After a thorough purge, Li Ming spent several days launching a subversive reform of the overall structure of the safe zone.

In fact, under the supervision of the Security Council in the past, the existing system did not expose major problems.

But now that he has decided to intervene, he must comprehensively improve the existing rules and systems.

First, he ordered the demolition of all the walls surrounding the area. This action symbolized that the system of ring zones that once divided different levels had completely become a thing of the past.

Today, the threat of demons has basically disappeared, and the incentive system originally established to deal with this crisis has naturally lost its reason to continue to exist.

The focus of the next reform will be the redistribution of power, and the most critical part of it is to achieve a complete separation of the three powers: military, executive and judicial.

Under this new system, the military will focus on military operations and will not have the right to interfere in any discussion or decision-making of political affairs within the security zone.

At the same time, Xiaoyu, an L5-level intelligent robot, will serve as the Minister of the Supreme Ministry of Justice and will have the final say and power of interpretation over the judiciary.

The use of artificial intelligence robots is essentially a "lazy" strategy and may not be flexible enough in special cases, but it at least ensures the fairness and impartiality of justice.

In terms of government affairs, the system is adopted in which the people elect officials from the grassroots level step by step.

Officials elected by the people will be responsible for managing all government affairs in the safe zone, and their salaries will directly depend on the people's satisfaction with their work.

The salary range of this system is extremely flexible. The upper limit is high enough to make people rich, while the lower limit is so low that even eating becomes a problem.

As for the most mysterious members of the Security Council, they still do not interfere in the daily affairs of the safe zone. Only when the safe zone is in a major crisis will they temporarily take over to ensure that the safe zone does not collapse.

Three months later, the safe zone, which had undergone major changes, has a brand new look.

A construction boom has been set off in various places. Old houses have been renovated, new roads have been built, and the landscape has been completely renewed. The entire safe zone presents a vibrant scene.

Li Ming was finally freed from the complicated administrative affairs.

Next, he and Cecily and others began to practice in seclusion, with the main goal of absorbing and fusing the crystal core energy.

The absorption of attribute energy is a time-consuming process. Fortunately, they now have plenty of time and do not need to rush.

However, fusing energy is not an easy task. They need to constantly challenge themselves and forcibly exert their own potential in order to accelerate the fusion process.

In this regard, Li Ming chose to take four team members to other planes to challenge powerful monsters and collect high-level elemental crystal cores.

After the teleportation center was upgraded to level five, three new planes were added, namely the Ink River Basin, the Thundering Abyss, and the Peak of the Storm.

Obviously, each of the seven planes with coordinates provided by the system is accompanied by specific elemental attributes, which is definitely not a coincidence.

However, Li Ming did not delve into the reasons.

Anyway, as long as I can integrate all seven elemental energies, all mysteries will be solved.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

During these three years, Li Ming and others have been busy fusing attribute crystal cores and constantly conquering other elemental planes to hunt for high-level crystal cores.

Cecily and her companions would also take time out to return to the ancient god plane in between their training, trying their best to release the power of their will.

Unfortunately, however, they have not made much progress in this regard.

Now, Li Ming has successfully integrated chaos energy, wood element energy, ice element energy, fire element energy and earth element energy, plus his own awakened thunder element original power, a total of six completely different attribute energies have been integrated.

The fusion level of elemental energy has reached L8. As for the energy level of the Chaos Eyeball, he speculated that it should be at L10.

At the same time, through the continuous absorption and refining of demon soul energy, Li Ming's strength has soared to the L8+ level.

If one takes into account the innate abilities derived from the fusion of multiple energies, his actual combat power is no weaker than that of a peak ancient god at the L9 level.

In comparison, Cecily and others were clearly progressing much slower.

They basically only integrated four types of attribute energies, and their overall strength was at the L7+ level.

Over the past three years, the world has also undergone unprecedented changes.

This planet, which was once plagued by pollution, has been reborn and regained its vitality under the purification of Li Ming's strong willpower.

Of course, the real changes go far beyond this.

The planet, which originally had a diameter of only 15,000 kilometers, was transformed by him into a giant planet with a diameter of one million kilometers.

Although the planet's area has expanded tens of thousands of times, its gravity has not increased, but has instead decreased to half of its original value.

In addition, he also designated special elemental attribute areas in various corners of the planet and created some weak elemental creatures...

Li Ming did this not because he was bored. He was using his fully materialized willpower to try to modify the deep rules of this world in order to prepare for building a new plane of origin of his own in the future.

Now, with the steady improvement of his strength, the system's constraints on him are becoming weaker and weaker.

Those mysteries that lingered in our minds in the past are gradually shedding their mysterious cloaks and revealing their true faces.

He already had some preliminary guesses about the true intentions of the system, the mystery of human origin, and the deep mysteries of the world of will.

Although it is impossible to assert its absoluteness, he believes that it should not deviate too much.

Time flies, and another year passed. Li Ming stepped into the fantasy ancient forest again.

This time, a wisp of his consciousness successfully penetrated the powerful barrier of the ancient forest of illusion and reached the vast world of will in the outside world.

What appeared before his eyes was a majestic and magnificent dream tree in the void.

Its hugeness is difficult to describe in words. Its branches are winding like mountains, its crown seems to touch the sky, and every leaf seems to carry endless dreams and mysteries.

However, at this moment, this dream tree looks dilapidated, with yellow branches and leaves and bent trunks, completely losing its former vitality.

What is even more shocking is that the tree is tightly wrapped by dense purple-black tentacles, as if it is being eroded by a dark force.

Li Ming's consciousness did not stay in the void for too long, and soon dissipated like smoke.

He turned to look at Xiao Cai, who had transformed into a young girl, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you completely eliminate the threat at the moment. The demon that invaded your dimension has reached the L10 level."

Xiao Cai didn't seem to care too much about it. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she responded softly, "It's okay, my memory has recovered a lot. At least in the endless reincarnation, you are the one who took the shortest time to reach your current strength."

These words sounded a little confusing, but Li Ming did not ask too many questions.

He just responded calmly, "I'll come again."

I had just returned to the team headquarters in the original world when suddenly a message came from the system's friend interface.

"Li Ming, nice to meet you. I'm Claytina. Time flies. Do you still remember me?"
