A sphere made of countless strands of hair was floating mid-air.
Pale fingers lightly pressed against the sphere across the empty space.
Shen Xiujun said coldly:
"Where is Little Wu? If you don’t tell , I will place this Soul Feeding Demon Ball in your world and let it devour everything."
A trace of ridicule appeared on Mother of All Things’ face as she laughed and said, "You and I are bound by the Origin Entanglent Curse Seal. Doing so will get you backlashed by the curse seal, you know."
Shen Xiujun stared at her, pressing on:
"Where is Brother Wu?"
"I’m not in a good mood, I really don’t want to tell you," said Mother of All Things.
Shen Xiujun said nothing.
On her fingertips, the sphere made of countless strands of hair trembled slightly, ready to drill into the Void.
Mother of All Things’ eyelid twitched, and she couldn’t help but shout:
"Damn it, you’re crazy!"
——This person was actually serious!
If she didn’t speak, Shen Xiujun would indeed perish together with her!
A resolute look appeared on Shen Xiujun’s face as she said softly:
"I’ll ask you one last ti, where did Brother Wu go?"
"He went to the ’Virtual World,’ and in fact, he just returned from the ’Virtual World’ before!" Mother of All Things said.
"If you’re lying to ..." Shen Xiujun said.
"We are bound by the Origin Entanglent Curse Seal. You would sense it imdiately if I lied," Mother of All Things said.
"...Very well," said Shen Xiujun.
She flicked her finger lightly.
The sphere imdiately shot into the sky, disappearing deep into the clouds.
The face of Mother of All Things turned somber.
"I clearly told you everything, so why did you attack my world?" she asked.
Shen Xiujun wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth—
She was attacking her world, so the backlash from the Origin Entanglent Curse Seal had begun.
"Since you are Brother Wu’s enemy, I think we must fight, at least until you are no longer able to go against him."
Mother of All Things listened seriously, with a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.
"Madwoman! You are a madwoman, and he’s a madman too; you creatures are simply too insane. But why would I fear you?"
She casually assud an attacking stance.
Shen Xiujun, however, did not attack imdiately but clapped her hands instead.
In an instant.
Blood Youth appeared at the entrance of the bar.
She was covered in shocking wounds, seeming to be on her last breath, as if she might collapse and die at any mont.
"Mistress, do you have any orders?"
Blood Youth knelt on one knee and asked.
"Nothing else, help kill this World Will," Shen Xiujun said.
"But we are all bound by the Origin Entanglent Curse Seal, attacking her forcibly would backlash upon us," Blood Youth quickly said.
"So what? It is just a matter of who perishes first," said Shen Xiujun.
Blood Youth was stunned.
Just monts ago, the three of them were sitting together planning to kill Wu Xiaode.
It had been only a few minutes.
And now, two of them were about to kill the third for Wu Xiaode?
——You tricked into signing the Origin Entanglent Curse Seal, and you’re playing with on purpose, aren’t you?
At this mont.
Blood Youth finally realized sothing.
She should never have co out.
It would have been best to be confined by the Feeding Demon Master.
Freedom?
What freedom do I need?
I should never have, never ever should have, aligned as allies with the Feeding Demon Master and Mother of All Things.
——Wu Xiaode and his wife are both mad.
Being their enemy will only get you dragged into the abyss with them.
An invisible fluctuation erged on Blood Youth.
It was the Enslave All Living Beings Spell from Shen Xiujun, urging her to join Shen Xiujun in killing the Mother of All Things.
Blood Youth felt an indescribable bitterness, even a thousand tis more bitter than countless years of imprisonnt.
"Let’s do this."
Shen Xiujun spat out a mouthful of blood and said.
The power of the Enslave All Living Beings Spell grew stronger, so much so that Blood Youth also spat out a mouthful of blood and dully responded:
"Yes, Mistress."
...
An imnsely powerful force pulled at Wu Xiaode.
He passed through endless worlds and the Void, flying in the dark towards a predetermined destination.
Without asking, he surely was returning to the "Virtual World."
Tsk.
The timing wasn’t right.
He had thought he could have taken out that guy.
He closed his eyes and quietly felt the Book of the Dead in his sea of consciousness.
The Book of the Dead was now open, revealing lines of ice crystal small characters:
"This transfer cos from the supre Illusion Law."
"Your ’anger’ has been forcibly terminated."
"Your current ’anger’ has gone through one upgrade, with a Level of rely 2."
"You still need to continually enhance the Level of ’anger’ to increase its power, to prevent such events from happening again."
"Additionally."
"You have obtained a world: Shattered Jade."
"This is a piece of world essence, extrely small and pure, which can help you transform into a world-class life form."
"But it bears the duty of defending the ’Virtual World.’
"Once you bind with it, you must devote all your strength in the ’Virtual World.’
"You are now bound to it!"
The world spun around.
The next mont.
Wu Xiaode felt his back hit sothing.
Darkness.
Feeling around, there were heavy and cold tals all around; its thickness unknown, but certainly unbreakable.
Click.
In the darkness, an incandescent lamp lit up.
He found himself in a narrow, cramped rectangular space that seed to be a coffin.
However, engraved on the tal lid directly above him were a few lines of small characters:
"Attention."
"Your world is extrely weak, and your contribution to the ’Virtual World’ will be very limited; conversely, in order for you to be valuable, the ’Virtual World’ even has to provide you with a certain degree of support."
"You have three buttons in front of you: red, blue, and green:"
"To go straight back ho, please press the red button."
"If you are determined to stay and make a contribution to the ’Virtual World,’ please press the blue button."
"If you have connections and intend to use them, please press the green button."
"This product has a 100% user satisfaction rate."
"The number of complaints about this product is: 0."
"This product fully protects your privacy throughout the process, and there will never be a second being aware of your choice."
"You have only ten seconds to make your choice!"
"Failure to make a choice within the ti fra will result in you being regarded as the most diocre of world-class beings and will be processed for incineration directly."
"Please begin!"
"10,"
"9,"
"8,"
"..."
Wu Xiaode glanced at the red, blue, and green buttons.
Clearly, the red button, signifying "going straight back ho," had been touched until it had turned black and was even chipped at the edges, obviously the one most commonly pressed.
The green button for "using connections" also had a few faint fingerprints on it.
Only the blue button for "serving the Virtual World" had a brand-new appearance.
It seed that no one had ever pressed it.
Wu Xiaode almost didn’t have enough ti to think; the countdown was already over.
If he didn’t press a button after ti was up, he would be incinerated!
Click!
Wu Xiaode quickly stretched out his hand and firmly pressed the blue button.
The blue button imdiately emitted a "beep beep beep" sound.
The next second.
The lid of the coffin opened.
Wu Xiaode leaped out and couldn’t help but let out a sound of "eh?"
It seed to be an independent space.
In the entire space, piles of dense white bones accumulated.
The place where Wu Xiaode stood was atop these white bones.
The iron coffin was casually placed on the heaps of white bones.
Apart from the bones and the coffin, there was nothing else in the space.
Is this really the Virtual World?
It was nothing like the Virtual World he knew!
Boom boom boom—
The ground shook continuously.
Sothing huge beneath the endless bones seed to be stirring.
It was about to erge!
A voice sounded from not too far away:
"Stop!"
Wu Xiaode’s expression shifted.
Was that the voice of the black cat? Had it co?
After the call, however, the ruckus below grew even more ferocious and turbulent.
The monstrous presence filled with the stench of decay and violent murderous intent seed like it was about to burst forth from the ground and appear before Wu Xiaode.
The black cat sprang out from the Void and landed on Wu Xiaode’s shoulder, saying:
"As a re mortal, he just completed a task and received the reward to return."
"In just ten minutes, he turned into a world-class life form."
"Such potential should not be wasted here."
"I hereby file an appeal on this matter!"
After waiting a few monts.
A gentle female voice responded:
"An error occurred in this judgnt; the mber indeed has the potential you ntioned."
"Your appeal is successful."
"Permission to leave granted."
The Void opened to either side.
Outside was the West Queen Mother Temple on the mountain.
"Hurry,"
the black cat urged Wu Xiaode in a low voice.
Wu Xiaode stepped over and left the space.
Both the man and the cat arrived at the mountain top at the sa ti.
Back in the familiar environnt, Wu Xiaode imdiately breathed a sigh of relief:
"Phew— that was close."
"You almost died, jeez," the black cat seed to exhale in relief as well.
Wu Xiaode earnestly expressed his thanks, "Thank you for coming to my rescue; otherwise, I surely would have faced an extrely difficult situation."
But the black cat eyed him curiously and asked:
"Why did you choose the blue button in that Coffin of Destiny?"
"That’s obvious," Wu Xiaode said as a matter of course, "the red and green buttons were worn out from use."
"So you could have also pressed the red button to return, or the blue button to ask for my assistance; why didn’t you?" the black cat persistently inquired.
Wu Xiaode had to tell the truth:
"That machine has a 100% satisfaction rate, with zero complaints—that’s absolutely impossible. Any backer who enters the world could easily file a complaint against it or give it less than 100% satisfaction."
"So there’s only one truth—"
"Dead n tell no tales."
"Then look at its next statent: This product fully protects your privacy; your choice will never be known by another being."
"That’s just a cover-up for murder."
"But why would they want to kill you?" the black cat asked.
"Because as the weakest world, I have little value; even the Virtual World has to compensate," Wu Xiaode said nonchalantly.
"If I’m not wrong, all the white bones outside that coffin are those who chose ’to go straight back ho’ or ’to seek connections.’
"The only hope was choosing the blue button, determined to do sothing for the Virtual World."
"Only this way would the Virtual World grudgingly accept the act."
"— after all, killing the loyal is equivalent to destroying one’s own walls."
"So there had to be a challenging test following that decision, where only those with certain potential and talent could pass; otherwise, they would be eliminated to save the world from wasting even a bit of ti and resources on ."
Wu Xiaode spoke in one breath, flipped his hair stylishly, and asked:
"Was my analysis correct?"
The black cat was silent for several monts before speaking:
"You guess absolutely correct... wait a minute, were you a capitalist before?"
