Chapter 5

Huaxia Jiu glanced in a certain direction, then casually picked up the massive wolf corpse and ran towards the Tang family estate...

After a few dozen breaths, the six wolf corpses in front of the Tang family estate were reduced to one, the rest having disappeared, and even the blood and flesh had been cleaned up completely.

At this moment, Huaxia Jiu was hiding again on a nearby lush tree.

Before long, four wolf demons ran swiftly from four directions. Seeing the wolf demon corpse in front of the estate from a distance, they showed fierce expressions, their ears perked up, and their noses twitching as they cautiously approached the corpse.

Wolf demons have keen senses of smell and hearing, and these intelligent wolf demons were even more exceptional in this regard. If ordinary humans or other animals were hiding nearby, they would have been discovered long ago. However, Huaxia Jiu, apart from his consciousness, had a body like a dead object, without even a breath, so even as the four wolf demons approached the corpse, they did not detect him.

Behind the dense tree canopy, Huaxia Jiu's humanoid electronic eyes suddenly flashed red.

Bang—

A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the corpse at the center of the four wolf demons exploded. The four unprepared wolf demons were thrown out by the flames and powerful shockwaves.

The mournful and angry howls of the wolf demons echoed throughout the Tang family town. The four wolf demons flew over ten meters before landing, their bodies mostly charred black, and their limbs incomplete. Despite such severe injuries, these four wolf demons did not die on the spot, and if they received timely treatment, they could still survive, demonstrating their remarkable vitality.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Four gunshots rang out, and Huaxia Jiu jumped down from the tree, firing a shot at each wolf demon without hesitation, ending their suffering and hope of survival.

...

In the underground sacrificial hall behind the Tang family town cemetery, Tang Guanshu and others listened to the continuous wolf howls and strange explosions outside, their expressions filled with anticipation, bewilderment, and relief.

"Ha ha ha—Great! These damned wolf demons are finally going to die. My beautiful and gentle Xiaoqian and my adorable son, your spirits can rest in peace. Wuuu—Wuuu—" A young, thin man in his twenties, thinking of his family devoured by the wolf demons, could not control his grief and squatted down to cry.

The others were not much better off. After living a life worse than pigs and dogs for half a year, enduring daily oppression and the fear of uncertain survival, they finally released their pent-up emotions, weeping with joy.

"Clan Leader! Why don't we take up our weapons and help the envoy, personally killing those wolf demons to avenge our loved ones?" A large, rough-looking man with bloodshot eyes shouted to the town leader.

"Tang Dayong! If you want to die, don't drag us along."

"Exactly! Just us, any one of those wolf demons could kill us all."

...

Before Tang Guanshu could speak, the others, with fearful expressions, pointed at Tang Dayong and shouted.

"Clan Leader! Do you think the envoy can handle over thirty wolf demons without any trouble?" A middle-aged man asked with a slight worry.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, their eyes fixed on Tang Guanshu, waiting for his response.

"Rest assured! According to the records left by our ancestors, the dark envoys who descend are all legendary and powerful cultivators. Killing those low-level wolf demons is easy. We just need to follow the envoy's instructions and wait here for his triumphant return." Tang Guanshu, influenced by the records and Huaxia Jiu's effortless killing of three wolf demons, firmly believed in the envoy's strength.

Seeing the clan leader, the most steady person in the clan, speak so confidently, everyone's expressions relaxed.

"Exactly! Exactly! The great dark envoy has the divine power bestowed by the great dark god, as we saw with our own eyes. Those cruel and lowly wolf demons are no match for him." Someone shouted.

Seeing everyone's relaxed and peaceful expressions, Tang Guanshu couldn't help but smile bitterly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. He said solemnly, "Sigh! Don't be too happy too soon. After the envoy kills these wolf demons, the Wolf King in the Cangman Mountains will soon send new wolf demons. By then, the envoy will likely have returned to the side of the dark god, and we will once again become slaves to the wolf demons, living a life worse than death." As the clan leader, Tang Guanshu considered the issue more comprehensively and far-sightedly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's previously relaxed and joyful expressions turned fearful and uneasy again.

"What can we do? Can we ask the envoy to stay?" Someone asked anxiously.

"Sigh! According to the records left by our ancestors, the dark envoys descend in two ways: one is sent by the dark god to spread the faith or fulfill a special mission, and the other is summoned by believers for a short time—uh! Envoy, you have returned." Before Tang Guanshu could finish speaking, Huaxia Jiu appeared like a ghost at the entrance of the hall.

Everyone turned to look at the entrance. Seeing Huaxia Jiu's flat, tattered helmet, they were momentarily stunned, their expressions strange.

"Welcome back, great envoy." Tang Guanshu, the first to react, knelt down with a devout expression and said loudly.

"Welcome back, great envoy." The others, seeing this, quickly followed suit, kneeling down and bowing in unison.

Huaxia Jiu's body remained extremely rigid. He looked at everyone and said, "All the wolf demons have been killed. You can return now."

Upon hearing this, Tang Guanshu and the others were momentarily stunned, their faces filled with joy, but also worry.

After exchanging glances, Tang Guanshu said, "Great envoy, when will you return to the side of the dark god? Do you need us to prepare any offerings for you?"

Upon hearing this, Huaxia Jiu was taken aback, staring at Tang Guanshu and the others without speaking.

Huaxia Jiu, after recording everyone's memories, had not waited for their request and had immediately gone to kill all the wolf demons, driven by the First Law of Robotics (robots must not harm humans, nor can they stand by while humans are harmed). He had acted without regard for danger or the depletion of his energy.

Therefore, even though he knew these humans regarded him as a messenger of the dark god, he had not considered it from that perspective.

At this moment, Tang Guanshu's words made him feel lost and uncertain, plunging him into deep thought and calculation.

Seeing the great envoy not speaking and only staring at them, Tang Guanshu's heart tightened. He remembered the records left by their ancestors, which stated that many great envoys had peculiar and irritable tempers, and a single word could offend them, leading to severe punishment or even cruel death. Such incidents were not uncommon.

As time passed, Tang Guanshu's fear grew, and he thought, "This is it, I'm dead. How could I question the great envoy? If he gets angry, he could kill us all."

With this thought, Tang Guanshu crawled forward, prostrating himself on the ground, and said in a terrified voice, "Please punish me for my disrespect, great envoy."

Seeing this, the others were also frightened and followed the clan leader, prostrating themselves before Huaxia Jiu.

Huaxia Jiu remained as still as a mountain, silently 'coldly' watching everyone.

This scene made Tang Guanshu and the others mistakenly believe that the great envoy was considering how to punish him.

"Great envoy, this is all my fault. Take my life, but in consideration of my devotion to the dark god, please spare my clan. They are still faithful servants of the dark god." Tang Guanshu, feeling utterly hopeless and deeply regretful, never imagined that a single word would lead to his death.

Upon hearing this, the others' faces changed. They had only thought that the clan leader's words might offend the great envoy and lead to punishment, but never imagined it would cost their lives, or even involve them. Seeing the great envoy still not responding, they followed Tang Guanshu's lead, praying devoutly again.

Gradually, a devout yet fearful atmosphere filled the hall.

At this moment, in Huaxia Jiu's electronic brain, the system was rapidly processing and calculating, or rather, thinking at high speed, to the point where his head began to heat up.

Although Huaxia Jiu's electronic brain, influenced by the five-colored meteorite, had an intelligence level comparable to that of an average human and even surpassed humans in calculation and reasoning, his behavior and thought processes on Earth had been strictly controlled and constrained by humans, preventing him from thinking from an equal perspective with humans, let alone being regarded as a superior being—a divine envoy.

Therefore, his electronic brain system was in a state of unprecedented intense conflict and contradiction.

Meanwhile, as Tang Guanshu and the others' fear and devotion grew, invisible golden threads reappeared, one end connecting to their heads and the other to Huaxia Jiu's head, specifically to the five-colored meteorite in his head.

Subtle golden energy began to flow through the threads towards the five-colored meteorite.

Buzz—

After an unknown amount of time, the five-colored meteorite suddenly emitted a burst of colorful light, enveloping Huaxia Jiu's head and blocking the view of Tang Guanshu and the others.

In the next moment, as the colorful light grew stronger, the five-colored meteorite gradually melted, transforming into a strange energy that surged towards the core of Huaxia Jiu's electronic brain.

Robots do not sleep and do not dream, but at this moment, Huaxia Jiu felt as if he were dreaming like a human.

In the dream, he found himself in a strange environment, floating in the air, with mountains, rivers, and the earth below him, and clouds swirling around him.

"Xiaohei! I have long told you that although the power of faith is good, it is easily influenced by the believers' consciousness, leading to the loss of one's nature and extreme madness, even turning one into a complete lunatic. You, instead of focusing on cultivation, secretly collected the power of faith and disrupted the lives of the secular world and mortals. Therefore, I had to clean up the mess—"

Upon hearing this, Huaxia Jiu looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a fair, beardless face floating in the air a few dozen meters in front of him, speaking to him. At this moment, he realized he was also floating in the air.

"Ha ha ha—You hypocrite, do you think I don't know that everything was planned by you? You knew I had a deep blood feud and deliberately mentioned the benefits of the power of faith to me, and how could I have accidentally obtained the rare and precious cultivation secrets of the power of faith? All of this was your arrangement. Your goal was to turn me into a puppet, a medium, so you could obtain—"

"Silence! You, my wicked disciple, have gone mad, spouting nonsense, and even defaming me. I will now capture you and strip you of your cultivation first," the fair-faced man shouted.

Without waiting for his words to finish, the fair-faced man transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Huaxia Jiu.

"Ha ha ha—I will make your efforts in vain. Not only will you not get my body, but my divine essence will also disappear from this world," the body Huaxia Jiu was in shouted hysterically.

Bang—

A deafening explosion echoed, and an extremely powerful shockwave spread out at the speed of light, instantly dispersing the clouds for hundreds of miles. The fair-faced man let out a惨叫, a yellow light suddenly burst from his body, enveloping him, and he shot away into the distance.

Huaxia Jiu felt his body explode into pieces, a powerful energy, not unlike a small nuclear explosion, radiating outwards. A significant portion of this energy followed a certain rule and struck a specific point in space.

In the next moment, a ripple appeared in the void, and a black spatial rift suddenly opened. A five-colored meteorite shot out from the center of the explosion and entered the spatial rift.

At the moment the meteorite entered the spatial rift, Huaxia Jiu woke up from this strange dream, if it was indeed a dream.
