Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

He was just a mere Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, just a woman on the verge of madness!

Right, he also took a picture with the V-sign and uploaded it to his personal homepage.

People, after all, should slack off a bit while at work, shouldn't they?

And then, a group of people finally surrounded him, and another battle to the death ensued!

"What's he aiming to achieve by doing this?"

Someone finally couldn't hold back and asked such a question.

Wanbao City is very valuable, but if you don't actually kill anyone, can this really be effective?

...

Ascension List, Blood God Town.

Aside from sword manuals and Sword Manuals, there were also teahouses and breweries, which included pretty girls from the Fox Clan. As long as you have a story, they have wine for you here.

Meng Yu had a grudge against Myriad Gold Pavilion, so he hired the girls from the Fox Clan to help gather information on Myriad Gold Pavilion. As long as you could provide a suitable story, they would pay you money, Spirit Stones, and even take you to see the Stele to practice martial arts.

This was quite a normal activity, to the point where even Myriad Gold Pavilion didn't think it was necessary to pay attention. Their important information couldn't possibly be collected in such a way, right?

Because there was wine, people spoke freely. Many people harbored grudges against Myriad Gold Pavilion, so they spilled whatever they had to say, including many stories they had heard, like how Myriad Gold Pavilion bullied and dominated the market, how they massacred people, how ruthless and merciless they were, and so on.

This kind of activity went on for a long time.

Information gathered like streams flowing into the hands of Meng Yu.

No one cared about this matter, even Myriad Gold Pavilion couldn't bother to give Bai Hu a warning. The news those people heard was often secondhand or even more removed from the source, and its timeliness was even more outdated, with stories from years or decades ago. And what use were they, please?

Moreover, in an era where mighty power returned to oneself, what could some gossip do?

Myriad Gold Pavilion didn't care.

...

Not long ago, on another plane.

New World, Blood God Sect, Ceres.

Although it was late at night, Chen Siting was still working overtime, and not far away, many others were also doing overtime.

These male and female data analysts were now serving one big commission.

The favored sons of heaven from the Immortal Sect, the object of many people's admiration, had made a request on Ceres.

He had an enemy named Myriad Gold Pavilion, a super large Sect in the Cultivation World, and Meng Yu was preparing to wage war with them.

Meng Yu didn't need Cultivators, didn't need Magic Artifacts, didn't need Ultimate Weapons; he just needed the people of Blood God Sect to help him sort out some materials.

Filled Storage Bags, like small mountains, piled up with paper materials.

The Blood God Sect's collection was just one aspect; more came from the Fox Clan.

Men, in front of women, liked to boast, divulging their grand achievements, secrets, or things they had heard.

And women, when talking to other women, chatted nonstop.

The women of the Fox Clan spread throughout the world, and they held many intelligence secrets—Meng Yu didn't request sensitive, lethal, or life-threatening information, only ordinary, outdated stuff, even from years or decades past.

For instance, invite an elder for a pot of wine, and he could talk about stories for an entire day.

Thanks to the Ascension List, the Fox Clan members went up and passed on the relevant information—not only the White Fox Clan, but Bai Hu also notified Red Fox, Blue Fox, Yellow Fox, and other different fox species to help provide corresponding intelligence.

It wasn't dangerous, it wasn't important, akin to cutting out newspaper clippings, sorting out stories about Myriad Gold Pavilion from the past hundreds of years, decades, or few years.

"Ah, Bai Hu, what use is all this trash?"

"Bai Hu, have you tried Meng Yu?"

"Does he like to touch tails?"

"What's his character like?"

Other leaders of the Fox Clan, although they had refused the bizarre loan request from Bai Hu, each crying poverty, were very concerned about this matter, and then a tidal wave of intelligence flooded Bai Hu's way.

Once again, thanks to the efficient and quick communication system on the Ascension List, all one had to do was to write an email and send it to Meng Yu.

Then, Meng Yu projected the intelligence with the Water Mirror Technique to the offline team, where the Moon-Watching Sect personnel helped to process it, turned it into paper documents, and then packed it into a storage bag to be taken back to Ceres.

There was filtering and scrutiny involved to ensure that no information from this year was included.

Back on Ceres, Meng Yu took out the paper documents that piled up like a small mountain and asked Xia Hailu and others to help process it.

They had always received benefits from Meng Yu, hands soft from the variety of spirit stones they had gotten, so naturally, for such an ordinary task, they assured him there would be no problems, thumping their chests in promise.

Then, the large order was split up and, accompanied by generous rewards, was taken up by many people.

On any given day, Xia Hailu, Yun Zhita, and the others would act cute and coquettish in front of Meng Yu, male golden core cultivators would chat merrily with Meng Yu, but once they left Baihua District, wasn't each one of them a bona fide big shot?

In the interstellar era, there may not be enough spirit stones, but people, there were truly plenty of them.

Materials from the Myriad Gold Pavilion were scanned and organized, with professionals tracking the whole process, keyboards clicked clack, models ran at full speed, individual profiles were established, networks of relations were woven, and Chen Siting, along with numerous others, were tasked with sorting the documents Meng Yu brought back, compiling them and penning various essays and major articles.

One person in one minute can dig a big hole, sixty people in one second cannot dig a big hole, but if you have tens or hundreds of thousands of people, organizing mountains of documents isn't really a problem.

Isn't it just about piling up manpower?

The domains of Yun Zhita, Xia Hailu, and others are planets with populations of hundreds of millions or even billions, and there are many governors around Ceres. Such simple textual work that only requires manpower to organize, if they could not do well, that would be unbelievable.

Once the documents were organized, Meng Yu took them back to the Cultivation World.

The people of Ceres were curious about what Meng Yu was preparing these things for, and the people of the Cultivation World were curious about what use there was in Meng Yu collecting this information?

When Pei Gong arrived at Xianyang, all the generals competed to plunder the treasury of gold and riches, yet why did he first enter Qin Prime Minister's office, seizing the historical texts, law books, and maps. Because Pei Gong thus fully understood the strategic chokepoints, population counts, strengths and weaknesses, and the sufferings of the people, derived from possessing the Qin's archives.

From the very beginning, Meng Yu was not afraid of challenges.

Those ancient people, actually getting into Meng Yu's strongest area, an Internet age, yet self-satisfied, thinking they had the upper hand.

They did not know at all how wars were waged in the Internet era (Ascension List).

...

Wanbao City.

"But, is Meng Yu a fool?"

Master Bai Yang blinked his eyes, blinked again, and frowned as he looked at the destruction Meng Yu was causing below.

"He is in battle with the Eternal Night Palace. Shouldn't he be negotiating terms with the Myriad Gold Pavilion now, even conceding some benefits to make them stand down?

His current frenzied destruction will only thoroughly enrage the Myriad Gold Pavilion. They will spare no expense to assist the Eternal Night Palace, do everything possible to battle him. He is blatantly slapping the Myriad Gold Pavilion's face— they won't tolerate it. This is a fight to the death."

Master Bai Yang was not wrong; Wanbao City was important, but even if the city were destroyed, it would just demolish part of the Myriad Gold Pavilion's property. The future was decided by the Myriad Gold Pavilion's combat power, which had not been damaged and would surely seek every way to retaliate.

Besides, the Ascension List was so vast; how much could Meng Yu destroy if he really went all out?

Meng Yu might even outsmart himself. If the Four Great Sects saw this situation, they were sure to intervene. What if it came to be the Four Great Sects plus the Myriad Gold Pavilion looking for trouble with Meng Yu? What then?

"Do you have any plan?"

Among the six White Beasts, Bai Yang was the cleverest. Blinking her watery eyes, she looked at Bai Hu, wanting to know how Meng Yu had a contingency plan.

"Trust me, Meng Yu... can win."

Bai Hu's personal panel was already stacked with numerous unread emails, from True Monarch Yu Xia, from the Myriad Gold Pavilion, and even including the higher-ups of the Four Great Sects and such. They were scolding, threatening, advising, or... quietly asking what Meng Yu was up to?

Not everyone can be a fool; already, some had sensed that something was amiss.

Why would Meng Yu do this on the eve of the battle with the Eternal Night Palace, for what, why?

Even other friends from the Fox Clan asked her, why are you betting on Meng Yu? Has Meng Yu's father, another from the Divinity Transformation, arrived?

Bai Hu's betting on Meng Yu seemed really too strange.

Not far away, Meng Yu had just killed a group of cultivators, then, very showy on the ground, he traced out a line of blood characters with the fresh blood.

It was the address of a homepage, recommending everyone to watch.
