Chapter 123: Please Help Maintain Internet Order

Getting a firm “no” in response, Jiang Li could only give up on his plan to return to a thousand years ago.

“Mr. Jiang, you might not know this, but in our world, there’s something called the internet. You can’t see it, but it’s everywhere. It’s like, it’s like…”

Luo Ying racked his brain trying to describe the internet, but realized his vocabulary was a bit lacking—he couldn’t quite put it into words.

“I know,” Jiang Li interrupted.

“You do?” Luo Ying blinked in surprise. Seeing Jiang Li in ancient-style robes, he thought the Nine Provinces was an old-fashioned world. He hadn’t expected it to be so technologically advanced, with even the internet.

“Well, that saves me the explanation,” Luo Ying sighed in relief. “The network’s still up, so I was thinking—maybe I should write down everything I know and post it online. Even if I save just one person, it’s worth it.”

“That’s an act of saving lives. Of course you should,” Jiang Li praised.

“But I’m worried that if the government finds out, they’ll arrest me…” Luo Ying voiced his concern.

Jiang Li thought to himself, If the people in power here have even a shred of sense, arresting Luo Ying would be the last thing they’d do. The smart move would be to cooperate—and protect him.

“Don’t worry. My Divine Sense is spread across the entire globe. If anyone tries to harm you, I’ll know.”

“Besides, while this city is overrun with zombies, it also acts as a barrier—keeping the people who want to catch you out. By the time we leave the city, you’ll already be strong enough to protect yourself.”

With Jiang Li covering his back, Luo Ying’s confidence surged. He quickly opened his laptop and organized his thoughts.

First came an introduction to zombies. Using classifications from his past life, he categorized zombies into: Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, and Tier 5—describing in detail the strength of each stage. For instance, Tier 4 zombies had incredibly tough skin—even missiles couldn’t hurt them.

Luo Ying hoped the military would see this and adjust their strategies, though… he wasn’t holding his breath.

Next was the survival manual. At present, all zombies were Tier 0—weak in attack. With proper preparation, they were easy to deal with. The manual explained how to avoid zombies, how to prevent being bitten, and their weaknesses. As for what to do after being bitten… sorry, no cure. Luo Ying didn’t bother writing that part.

And lastly—the brain core. This was the most crucial component, directly tied to the Enhancer System, and the key to defeating the zombies.

But just as Luo Ying was about to write the section on Enhancers, Jiang Li stopped him.

“I’ll say it. You write.”

Jiang Li spoke a sentence, and Luo Ying typed it out. At first, he didn’t notice much, just that Jiang Li’s version of the system slightly differed from his own. But as they continued, he slowly realized—Enhancers trained this way were far stronger than those of the same tier in his previous life!

Mr. Jiang’s understanding of the Enhancer System is leagues beyond mine!

Luo Ying had spent ten years developing this knowledge. Jiang Li, on the other hand, had barely come into contact with it a few times.

The insight of someone at the Mahayana Stage wasn’t something Luo Ying could compete with.

“Mr. Jiang, you… you’ve improved our entire system already?!”

Jiang Li nodded with a smile. He had seen Ye Wu rise from Tier 1 to Tier 2, and had also observed Luo Ying at Tier 5. Though this only gave him glimpses into the system, it was enough. From those glimpses, he deduced the full picture.

It was essentially about constantly injecting Spiritual Energy into the body to strengthen oneself. It was a crude method—similar to techniques in the Nine Provinces like the Blood-Burning Art or the Lifespan-Consuming Art—but more accessible and low-barrier.

Building on the Enhancer System, Jiang Li added elements of cultivation, helping Enhancers harmonize their Essence, Qi, and Spirit, unleashing greater power.

In his past life, Luo Ying had suffered from an imbalance in these three aspects. That led to wasted blood energy and unfocused strength. But this wasn’t just Luo Ying’s issue—it was a flaw in the entire Enhancer System.

Luo Ying didn’t quite grasp Jiang Li’s deeper intentions yet—but Brahma Tower did.

This new Enhancer path allowed practitioners to abandon their enhancements at any time and switch to cultivation.

After all, the Enhancer System was born of desperation. If possible, it was better not to rely on it.

Jiang Li was already thinking beyond the crisis—what path would this world take after surviving the zombie apocalypse?

“Mr. Jiang, this sentence—‘Heaven attains unity and becomes clear, Earth attains unity and becomes stable, Valleys attain unity and become full, Humans attain unity and gain longevity’—what does it mean?”

“Looks like your world doesn’t have the same cultural background. Let’s rephrase it like this…”

“Mr. Jiang, this one: ‘Within the Niwan Palace dwell the Nine True Spirits, housed in chambers no larger than an inch. Wear purple robes and flying gauze garments within, and you will attain endless life’—what’s this mean?”

“Then let’s write it like…”

“Mr. Jiang, this line…”

“Do you guys not have public education in your world?! Why don’t you know anything?” Jiang Li grumbled.

“…We don’t learn this stuff in our public education,” Luo Ying replied sheepishly.

Jiang Li and Luo Ying were completely absorbed in their writing. Watching them, both Brahma Tower and Luo Zhu were filled with emotion. Luo Zhu didn’t fully understand what they were writing, but with Brahma Tower’s explanation, she began to get it.

Her brother’s first two sections were meant to save people. Jiang Li’s last part—was meant to save the world. This article was like a miracle pill for the masses, capable of rescuing countless lives.

Luo Zhu clenched her tiny fists in pride for her brother.

Luo Ying hit the “Post” button. The three of them, plus the tower, crowded around the screen, eagerly waiting for the page views to spike.

Refresh.

And then—

“This post contains sensitive information and has been deleted. Please help maintain internet order.”

The three humans and one tower stared silently at the screen. No one said a word.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Jiang Li was the first to break the silence: “Ahem. Since there’s nothing more we can do for now, how about I teach you both cultivation?”

“What I posted online just now were universal cultivation methods. But this time, I’ll create techniques tailored to each of you personally.”

Luo Ying knew full well what kind of powerhouse Jiang Li was. To receive guidance from such a figure—it was a once-in-a-lifetime blessing.

He remembered what Jiang Li had said: Two years to reach Tier Four. That speed was unheard of.

“Thank you, Mr. Jiang… Um… ‘us’?” Luo Ying caught something strange in his wording.

“I noticed your sister’s talent might be better than yours.”

“You’ve got a dual spiritual root, Water and Fire, perfectly balanced. Among dual roots, that’s top-tier.”

“And her?”

“Your sister has a single spiritual root. And it’s a variant—a top-tier single root. Compared to you, she’s got a better shot at saving the world.”

“…That stings, Mr. Jiang.”

Luo Zhu blinked her big eyes. Wait… did I just surpass my brother in something I didn’t even know about?

“Before we start cultivating, let me explain the basics—like where Immortals come from.

“It’s said that in an ancient, untraceable era, Spiritual Energy was unimaginably abundant. The ancient ancestors observed the sun and moon, beasts and plants, and came to deep realizations. They discovered spiritual roots, learned to draw in energy, and began their journey to immortality. After many trials and hardships, some among them broke the limits of mortals and achieved the Immortal Body.”

“But their Immortal Bodies were huge, and though they had plenty of energy, it wasn’t refined enough. They couldn’t sustain themselves—and the first Immortal quickly died. Later, a brilliant ancestor refined Spiritual Energy into Celestial Energy, which allowed the Immortal Body to function. When Immortal Body and Celestial Energy were unified, one became an Immortal.”

“To put it in terms you’d understand… that’s like a Tier Eight Enhancer.”
