Now reading: Chapter 45: 9 Deaths Without Regret from King of Assassins, a Eastern novel by Master Stepping on Snow.

The Mo Sect’s Hall, a core of the Dark Web, governs all Dark Web data and is one of humanity’s greatest technological achievents.

The reason it presents in the traditional Huaxia style of an Immortal Palace is that all three designers are Huaxia people.

Initially, the Mo Sect’s Hall established twelve supre administrators, known as the Twelve Sages.

However, the true core of the Mo Sect’s Hall is the marvel known as the Heart of Numbers.

The absolutely rational Heart of Numbers possesses supre intelligence but no emotions; it analyzes everything through nurical logic.

The Heart of Numbers follows two core logics: to protect the Human Race and to protect itself.

The operation of the Mo Sect’s Hall revolves around these two Supre Laws.

Seven out of the twelve administrators have combined permissions higher than the Heart of Numbers, allowing them to issue commands to it. However, these commands cannot violate the core laws of the Heart of Numbers.

In the previous life, when humanity was nearing extinction, Gao Xuan, as one of the last Golden Level warriors of humanity, was exceptionally promoted from thirty-six disciples to the Seventh Sage.

There are two routes to becoming a Sage of the Mo Sect’s Hall. The first is to be nominated by more than half of the Sages, allowing one to beco a Sage.

The second is to pass the assessnt of the Heart of Numbers, which also makes one a Sage.

Sages possess imnse authority and represent extensive interests. One more Sage ans one more person to share power with.

The Twelve Sages have never been fully filled. Generally speaking, there are only seven to nine Sages.

If humanity weren’t on the brink of destruction, it wouldn’t have been Gao Xuan’s turn to be appointed as the Seventh Sage.

As for the assessnt by the Heart of Numbers, it tests individual wisdom and ability.

When Gao Xuan joined the Mo Sect’s Hall, there were only six Sages. Their nomination didn’t exceed half, unable to make him a Sage directly. He had to pass the assessnt by the Heart of Numbers.

Due to its own survival being at stake, the Heart of Numbers provided answers to Gao Xuan, allowing him to pass the assessnt and beco the Seventh Sage.

The Heart of Numbers’ assessnt never stated that providing answers was prohibited. For the Heart of Numbers, this doesn’t violate its logic.

Because Gao Xuan’s joining was to both protect humanity and its own existence.

Gao Xuan dared to rush to the Mo Sect’s Hall because he knew of this backdoor.

The Celestial Net is the information center of humanity; as long as he is active in human society, it would be challenging to avoid monitoring by the Celestial Net.

With the Heart of Numbers’ protection, the Celestial Net’s surveillance can be shielded.

Most importantly, attempting to steal a virtual deity seat from the Battle Net requires the assistance of the Heart of Numbers.

In any case, the position of the Seventh Sage is sothing he is determined to gain.

Previously, Gao Xuan didn’t have an advanced ID and couldn’t buy the Starbreaker Ship. Even if he knew the connection of the Mo Sect’s Hall, he couldn’t pass through the outermost data abyss.

Upon obtaining the Ghost Spear’s ID, he imdiately seized the opportunity to arrive at the Mo Sect’s Hall.

The Heart of Numbers, which controls the Mo Sect’s Hall, was alard by Gao Xuan’s self-proclamation.

After comparing Gao Xuan’s data information, the Heart of Numbers found no match with the Seventh Sage.

The position of the Seventh Sage has been vacant for two hundred years. No one has succeeded it.

The location of the Mo Sect’s Hall is so secretive that only the Sages know. Even if others are aware of the Mo Sect’s Hall’s existence, they couldn’t find it in the endless data ocean.

Gao Xuan’s special situation triggered a special chanism within the Heart of Numbers.

A stream of data ford and shone before the hall’s gates, quickly transforming into a cloud-hairstyled beauty.

She had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her pupils a flowing mixture of five colors, dreamlike. Her facial features were sowhat elongated, blending beauty with a touch of sternness. Her sand-colored dress was ancient and simplistic, with a long trailing skirt adding an air of elegance.

Gao Xuan recognized this woman; she was one of the fixed character representations of the Heart of Numbers known as Nuwa.

The choice of this ancient mythological image of Nuwa was to express the highest aim of protecting humanity.

In a previous life, Gao Xuan and Nuwa had a very good relationship. They both exerted every ounce of their effort for humanity’s survival.

At the last mont, Gao Xuan and Nuwa both witnessed the destruction of humanity.

Warriors who fought to the death, greedy aristocrats seeking escape, helpless won and elderly, children...

The scenes of the apocalypse gathered in the Mo Sect’s Hall. Gao Xuan and Nuwa witnessed it all but were powerless to change it. At that ti, Nuwa’s vibrant eyes were filled with confusion and sadness.

As a solidified character representation of the Heart of Numbers, Nuwa represented its most humanized side.

Gao Xuan could never forget those scenes, the despair and pain of being trampled into mud by alien race powerhouses.

Honestly, Gao Xuan wasn’t the kind of great hero who took saving the world as his mission.

Having been reborn, he exerted every effort to change his destiny because he never wanted to experience that despair and pain again.

He wouldn’t allow anyone or anything to control his fate, absolutely wouldn’t allow it.

Seeing Nuwa again after being reborn, Gao Xuan felt countless emotions.

Unfortunately, this Nuwa didn’t recognize him; his forr close comrade had now beco a stranger.

Gao Xuan paused silently before cupping his hands and saying, "The Seventh Sage greets Nuwa, Madam."

Nuwa nodded slightly with a cold expression and said calmly, "The target data information does not match with the Seventh Sage. Initiating Sage assessnt, does the target accept the Sage assessnt?"

"I accept the assessnt." Gao Xuan replied without hesitation; this was what he ca for.

Nuwa extended her slender finger and lightly tapped, causing a massive light screen listing various assessnt items to appear before Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan didn’t even look and directly said, "I choose Sword Breaks the Celestial Gate."

The Sage assessnt consists of tens of thousands of types, but Gao Xuan only knew the answer to Sword Breaks the Celestial Gate. Choosing any other type of assessnt would definitely result in failure. There was simply no need to choose.

Nuwa glanced deeply at Gao Xuan, her eyes flashing with countless data microglimrs, instantly making trillion trillion-level calculations.

However, she remained silent, just pointing ahead, and a large bronze door slowly opened before Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan confidently smiled at Nuwa, "Madam, see you in the hall."

He stepped through the bronze door, a space rapidly unfolded before him, data light flowing, the entire world quickly forming.

This was the interior of an enormous enclosed building, with many ancient Chinese desks and chairs arranged in the room. A group of people with swords and weapons was gathered around tables, eating at and drinking wine.

Each of them was ferocious in appearance, tall and robust in build.

It looked very much like the eting hall of an ancient brigand stronghold, with a group of bandits gathered to drink and feast.

Gao Xuan felt a sigh of relief inside, for this was exactly the Sword Breaks the Celestial Gate he passed in his previous life. If the mode had changed, it would have caused imnse trouble.

Sword Breaks the Celestial Gate requires one to hold a sword and fight through each level—thirty-six levels in total. With each cleared level, the difficulty doubles.

The assessnt in Sword Breaks the Celestial Gate tests not only swordsmanship but also the wisdom of a person.

For example, the first level, this group of bandits, a total of 108 n, so with long spears, so with short knives, so with large hamrs, so with shields, so with bows and arrows, and so with darts.

In this level, deciding whom to kill first and whom afterwards, and how to kill them, actually follows an inherent logic.

This is true for all subsequent levels. While swordsmanship is important, the real test is of one’s wisdom, one’s decision-making.

Additionally, as the levels progress, Nuwa will continuously enhance the challenger’s power and speed. By the thirty-second level, one’s destructive power reaches the Golden Level threshold.

The challenger must have a strong Spiritual Power to harness this power. Warriors below the Golden Level have no chance of passing.

The last two levels are exceptionally complex, and a single misstep makes it impossible to pass. Without the Heart of Numbers’ pre-provided answers, Gao Xuan could not have cleared it, even at his peak.

But now Gao Xuan has complete confidence; he has the answers, making it an open-book test.

He possesses the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, great Spiritual Power, and supre swordsmanship. The swordsmanship part of the assessnt is not an issue at all.

Gao Xuan drew his longsword from his side and pointed at the group of bandits, "Scoundrels, prepare to et your doom!"

The group of bandits noticed Gao Xuan and, shouting, charged at him with their weapons.

Gao Xuan controlled his sword into the crowd, his longsword splitting and thrusting rapidly, blooming into sprays of blood wherever it went.

The bandits struck by Gao Xuan fell dead instantly.

The leading bandit recognized Gao Xuan’s might and hastily raised his axe, but the silvery blade had already pierced through his heart.

The sword blade gleaming, the bandit leader’s chest blood with another spray of blood.

The surrounding bandits, seeing their leader killed, did not retreat but instead rushed forward more ferociously.

Gao Xuan flicked his finger on the longsword, and with the sound of a sword singing, he dived back into the crowd, the sword light dazzling where sprays of blood blood.

He sang loudly, "Singing wildly while sword light flashes white, the bits of red like blooming flowers. The Celestial Gate, truly like iron, and facing death nine tis remains undaunted."
