After Zhou Mingrui left, Yan Wuyue fell into deep thought.

"Did I really do something wrong?" She thought.

Yan Wuyue, who had always been firm in her belief, suddenly began to have a different voice in her heart.

"No, I'm not wrong. I'm doing this to save mankind, not for myself."

However, just as she had this thought, Zhou Mingrui's words about how a race should not be dependent on a single person surfaced again, shattering the confidence she had just established.

"But he's right. Even if I can save all of humanity this time, who can they rely on next time?"

"If that's the case, then what's the point of what I did in my past life and what I'm doing now?"

Just like that, Yan Wuyue began to fall into an inner struggle.

Outside the door, Zhou Mingrui shook his head and returned to his room.

Things like beliefs were completely dependent on one's own thoughts. If they were so easily influenced, then this human leader was truly weak.

Zhou Mingrui, who had returned to his room and had a good night's sleep, woke up to see a figure sitting by his bed.

"What the hell!"

This made him quiver in fear. If he didn't see the person clearly, he would have attacked.

"How did you get in? I locked the door."

As Zhou Mingrui spoke, he glanced at the door behind Yan Wuyue and then at the electronic lock. He seemed to understand something.

"Thank you."

Yan Wuyue said, but her voice was a little hoarse.

"You didn't sleep the whole night?"

Seeing Yan Wuyue's slightly gloomy expression and her messy hair, Zhou Mingrui probed.

"Yeah, thanks to you. You said those things on purpose last night, right?"

Yan Wuyue's face was gloomy as she stared at Zhou Mingrui and said word by word.

"Um..."

Zhou Mingrui was momentarily speechless.

"You don't have to explain; I understand what you mean. I spent the whole night thinking it through."

"Thank you. I feel much more relaxed now."

Yan Wuyue suddenly laughed, and the gloominess on her face was gone.

"Really?"

Zhou Mingrui asked doubtfully.

"You're right. I can't represent humanity alone. If a race really falls to this point, then it's not far from extinction."

Yan Wuyue explained with a relieved look on her face.

"Then, what are you going to do?"

As Zhou Mingrui spoke, he carefully observed her condition. He realized that her gaze was firm, and she did not have a blurred look.

"We still have to become stronger, not for the sake of humanity, but ourselves."

"I will no longer think about how to face the monsters of the great calamity. Instead, I will think about how to push the entire human race to become stronger."

Yan Wuyue told him the result of a night of struggle.

Zhou Mingrui immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was momentarily at a loss for words.

"I shouldn't have said those words last night. Why do I feel like things are going in the direction I didn't want?" He thought.

His heart was thumping, but Zhou Mingrui maintained a calm expression.

"So, what do you want to say to me?"

Zhou Mingrui sat up with an indifferent expression. However, his hands under the blanket clenched the bed sheets tightly.

"Become stronger with me. I don't believe that you're willing to go back to the illusionary spirit world. I can tell from your tone that it's a very boring place, right?"

"You can also refuse me, and we can be strangers from now on. Then I will go to the monster gathering area in the wild alone and kill as many monsters as I can."

As Yan Wuyue spoke, the smile on her face grew wider, but it made Zhou Mingrui's hair stand on end.

"Alright, I think your idea is good. It's exactly the same as the core I talked about last night."

"How about you go out first, and I'll go out and talk to you after I tidy up."

....

In the living room, Zhou Mingrui had already recovered. He looked at Yan Wuyue, who was sitting opposite him.

"You've already promised me just now, so you can't go back on your word."

Yan Wuyue's eyes started to drift as she spoke as if she had done something wrong.

Zhou Mingrui raised his brows and thought to himself. She was already sitting by his bed like that. If he didn't agree, he was afraid that her superiors would do something dangerous to him.

"The three agreements are still in effect, and I didn't deny them. But since I've promised you, I'll do my best to cooperate and help you."

"But please don't talk to me in that way again."

"Alright, go and rest. We still have to go to the auction house tomorrow, so don't be tired."

With that said, Zhou Mingrui stood up and left.

"Judging from his reaction, it seems that the plan I set up has worked. It's about time to start the second step." She thought.

After Zhou Mingrui left, Yan Wuyue's lips curled up.

What had she not seen before her rebirth?

Zhou Mingrui's words had indeed affected some of her thoughts. However, if true beliefs could be changed so easily, she would not have been called the "Goddess of Redemption".

As long as she could change Zhou Mingrui's mind and increase his enthusiasm, it would be fine even if it was a subtle influence.

Then, the hope for mankind would increase.

After all, if they couldn't survive this great calamity, how could the humans talk about the future?

As long as this great calamity could be resolved, Yan Wuyue believed that with her strength at that time, she could lead the human race to move forward and become more powerful.

The two of them, each with their own ulterior motives, came to an agreement for the second time.

The next day, Yan Wuyue, who had fully recovered, knocked on Zhou Mingrui's door. The two of them went to the Starry Sky Auction House together.

The Starry Sky Auction House was located in the center of Qinghua City. It was also the largest auction house in the entire Qingyun Province. It had almost all kinds of rare treasures and cultivation materials.

At the auction house.

After handing out the letter, Yan Wuyue led Zhou Mingrui into the auction house.

As soon as they entered the auction house, they saw two areas were written on the display board: The "Outdoor Selling Area" and the "VIP Booth Auction Area".

"The outdoor selling area is for vendors to sell their goods because all the items that enter the VIP booth auction area will be charged a 10% commission fee."

"If you don't want to, you can pay a fixed amount of money and sell it in the outdoor selling area."

Yan Wuyue explained the difference between the two areas to Zhou Mingrui.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingrui immediately cast his gaze toward the display area and realized that the entire area was divided into orderly stalls, just like a flea market.

At the same time, he suddenly had an idea.

However, he couldn't activate his ability right now. Because the "Spirit Eye" skill couldn't be used on a fixed target, or rather, it could be used to block the field of vision.

If he opened it now, the data displayed by so many people at the same time would make him collapse.

"Let's go. We can enter the VIP auction area. The auction is about to start."

Yan Wuyue reminded him.

No, I'm going to the outdoor selling area over there."

Zhou Mingrui suddenly said.
