World Version Updates-Chapter 511 - 318: Glorious Representative

Although most of Sain's body before him was already replaced by cold machinery and complex spiritual energy circuits, especially the metallic horns on his head presenting an inhuman posture,

his facial contours still retained some familiarity from Lu Yan's memory.

More importantly, the unique aura emanating from the depths of the soul, which cannot be covered by any external modification, made Lu Yan one hundred percent certain that this half-human, half-machine existence in front of him was indeed the Sain he once encountered in the mysterious version.

Behind Sain followed dozens of spiritual ability users dressed in a very similar style.

Most of them wore dark combat uniforms, with traces of mechanical modifications on their bodies, their eyes full of vigilance and determination.

Judging by their formation and demeanor, it seemed they all belonged to the same organization, with Sain as their leader.

In Lu Yan's mind, he immediately thought of the resistance army that Quentin had mentioned to him when he introduced the power structure of City No.14.

"Black Robe Gang... Union... Information mapping... Resistance army..."

A series of keywords rapidly connected and flowed in Lu Yan's mind.

In just an instant, he grasped a rough understanding of what lay before him.

In the previous Cyberpunk version he experienced, Sain was personally appointed by him as one of the Union's leaders.

Although backed by the secret influence and strong support of the Victoria Royal Family, the nascent union organization once received multi-party support from the old government, traditional aristocrats, and emerging capitalists.

But the fundamental reason behind this was that everyone knew that behind this union stood Lu Yan, a deep and unfathomable mysterious figure.

Essentially, the union represented the interests of the grassroots people, which destined it to inevitably conflict with the fundamental interests of those elite classes who controlled the majority of societal resources, remaining in natural opposition to the old government, traditional aristocrats, and emerging capitalists.

When the version transitioned from the mysterious and enigmatic version to the current technologically advanced, class-conflicted Cyberpunk version, the world views, social structures, and even power systems between different versions underwent significant deviations.

In such a situation, the union organization that Lu Yan originally supported in the mysterious version, under the influence of information mapping, transformed into an underground organization resisting the brutal rule of the Universal Giant Corporation and the Intelligent God.

Combined with the special nature of City No.14, it eventually evolved into the resistance army, one of the three major forces with an important role in City No.14.

Being the representative figure of the union organization at the forefront back then, Sain naturally became the main representative of the current resistance army in City No.14 through this information mapping and his own abilities.

Lu Yan recalled that the previous Cataclysm version he experienced was a special version formed by the forced convergence and collision of forces and rules from many different world versions within a short time frame.

The chaotic and complex environment greatly disrupted and weakened the information mapping effect between different versions.

After that, although Lu Yan became consciously guided to extend the information mapping of the Divine Court and Underworld he created to more extensive version worlds,

he subconsciously neglected the union organization he fostered in the mysterious version.

Had it not been for witnessing Sain's appearance in person today in the council chamber of this City No.14, Lu Yan probably wouldn't have noticed the unexpected impact brought by the evolution of the small union through version updates and information mapping.

Lu Yan remained silently standing in place, lost in a brief contemplation.

On the other side, Shaq and Sain, having regained their composure from the initial shock, naturally wouldn't lack insight and let Lu Yan, a true major figure, stand at the entrance all the time.

Almost simultaneously, the two stepped forward quickly and courteously.

"Mr. Lu! I really didn't expect, after that brief meeting at the Tower of the Universal, to have the fortune of seeing you again today!" Shaq's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and reverence.

His mention of the Tower of the Universal naturally referred to the Cyber Version Fragment within the Cataclysm version, where the impact of information mapping had some deviation but did not change significantly.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Anna hasn't been able to reach you in recent days and has been quite concerned. To think, you would grace us with your presence here." Sain's tone appeared more composed and respectful.

After speaking, the two instinctively exchanged glances.

A subtle surprise was evident in each other's eyes.

As representatives of the two strongest forces in City No.14 today, the enforcement team's leader Shaq and the resistance army's representative Sain had a potential adversarial relationship due to differing ideologies and interests, yet also maintained some cooperative relations.

Initially noticing Lu Yan's appearance, both had initially ignored each other's presence due to overwhelming emotions.
