"Hey, is your reward just a brick?"
Wu Xiaode grumbled discontentedly.
The woman gazed at the brick, a look of reluctance on her face as she softly spoke:
"One day in the future, you will be satisfied with this reward."
Wu Xiaode glanced at her and saw in her eyes an unprecedented mix of sorrow and hope.
"In the slow march of ti, all is but dust..."
These were the notes that appeared on the dual-card combo composed of "Eternal Night Star" and "Heir of the World Tree."
So—
This world.
This World Master.
Would sooner or later beco ruins.
Is that what it ans?
Wu Xiaode fell into silence.
If he himself were the consciousness condensed from all the Laws, he would never set such a "morbid" task.
—He would find a way to change everything!
"Fine, I’ll accept it for now—but what should I call you?"
Wu Xiaode pocketed the brick and asked.
"Ye Jiana," the woman replied.
"Ye Jiana... got it. I will help out with all my might. But first, let’s deal with the battle at hand," Wu Xiaode said, his gaze moving beyond the Temple, across the wasteland, to settle on the dark mass of the approaching army.
The Judgent Angel was already there.
She floated above the grassland, holding a ledger in her hands, quickly flipping through the pages, reading the lines of text that appeared.
"Murder, plunder, massacres, slaughtering spirits, sins most grave, unforgivable," the Judgent Angel declared coldly.
Boom!
The sky filled with dark clouds, and thunder light flashed.
Rain began to pour down.
"Let there be a flood," the Judgent Angel commanded aloud.
From the ground, water began to well forth, rging into streams, surging forward like tides.
In an instant,
the flood had ford and was sweeping toward the massive army.
But Ye Jiana whispered to Wu Xiaode,
"It’s futile. Even if you defeat them now, they’ll send even greater forces until scourges and devils descend upon my world, utterly destroying it."
"What should we do?" Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but ask.
"The human king can buy ti, and you must cooperate with him until I complete this spell. Then you can leave this era," Ye Jiana said.
"Are you sure?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"This is no simple matter," Ye Jiana said with a smile, "you must realize—"
"This matter affects the future of everything. It’s the most important thing under the heavens."
"If you fail, you will die here."
"Moreover, from the mont I begin the incantation, there’s no turning back."
She simply stood still, lifted her hands to shoulder height, and ford a set of Handprints Wu Xiaode had never seen before.
Mysterious spells began to spill from her lips, causing the Void itself to tremble in resonance.
Feeling a sense of urgency, Wu Xiaode quickly pulled out the brick.
He saw mysterious runes appearing on it, as if it were being imbued with sothing.
"...Buying ti, is it," Wu Xiaode murmured softly to himself.
He suddenly noticed that in front of the enemy’s position on the grassland, enormous devils ford from dark mists had silently appeared.
These devils stood still, flas raging from their bodies, evaporating the floodwaters.
—Devils?
Though the foe was a human army, devils were joining the fight.
Where did these creatures co from?
What was their purpose?
There was no ti to ponder these questions.
Wu Xiaode focused entirely, saying:
"Fat Sa, find a way to let the battle unfold in my world!"
That’s right.
His world possessed three attributes.
Jiang Shanglan had ntioned, although his was a Basic world, its attributes were terrifying, and the unprepared could easily capsize.
Now—
Let him, as the world itself, partake in this battle.
As Wu Xiaode finished speaking,
from within layers of golden bricks, a robust voice rang out:
"Alright—"
A colossal figure rose to the sky, bellowing down at the grassland:
"Human kings, carrying the love and justice of the earth, please fight near the Temple. The Divine’s power shall protect you!"
The king and his followers turned to look.
Amidst the vast clouds, a giant dragon radiating golden light weaved through the air, looking down upon them!
"Dragon Clan!"
"Heavens, the dragon has appeared!"
"—It’s the guardian dragon of the Temple!"
"Your Majesty, shall we heed its advice?"
The king shouted decisively:
"All n, to the defense of the Temple!"
Joking aside, it was in the Temple that he had received the ancestral skills passed down from his forebears.
The Divine were sheltering him!
Now, with terrible devils the likes of which they had never seen before appearing on the other side and the dragon issuing warnings, what hesitation could there be?
At the king’s command, the crowd fell back to defend the front of the Temple.
The king raised his great sword and bellowed:
"For all life upon the earth, for love and peace among humans, we shall make our last stand!"
"Divine powers, bless us!"
Ye Jiana glanced down at the king.
In the next instant,
strands of Holy light fell upon the king, illuminating him and all his followers around.
All were invigorated, roaring loudly, ready to face the battle.
Ye Jiana gave Wu Xiaode a look.
—It’s your turn now.
Wu Xiaode naturally understood the aning in her eyes. Without hesitation, he turned his attention to the strongest being in his world—
The giant dragon that had been moving erratically in midair had now, due to anger, transford into a human fat man.
He was dressed in a floral shirt, beach shorts, and flip-flops, his mouth producing a stream of intricate rap:
