"This is a set of limited-edition crystal ware ordered from abroad. The whole set costs close to seven figures. The price is manageable, but the crucial point is that there’s only one set in the whole world. If it breaks, there’s no way to buy another one!" The ’Secret Cultivator’ twitched her lips twice, pretending to stay calm as she said, "No matter, ’Lamp Holder’ sir, it’s just a few glass cups. We can just get a new set... but sir, such a reaction is rare from you. Did sothing good happen to make you so happy?"
Yang Qizhou grinned and said,
"My ga character seems to have stolen sothing extrely remarkable, and then beca hunted by an exceedingly terrifying entity. Hmm, as for how terrifying—almost powerful enough to shake ’Destiny’s Blessing,’ which is the resurrection chanism. That’s roughly the process."
’Secret Cultivator’: "???"
"Lamp Holder" sir, you can still laugh in a situation like this?
Shocked beyond belief, she subconsciously overlooked the phrase ’stolen sothing extrely remarkable.’
The text continued to refresh.
...
"To revive directly at the exit with a probability of several tens of thousands to one—I didn’t expect such luck to fall into my lap."
"No wonder it’s you, the one blessed by the ’God of Victory.’"
"Originally, you planned that if the revival point was safe but far from the exit, you’d use the power of the ’Iron Blood God’ to tunnel a path to the surface. But doing so carries significant risks—first, it might attract the attention of the evil entity behind the ’door.’ Second, it could provoke the relic’s inherent taboos, causing unforeseeable dangers."
"Now that you’ve revived directly at the exit, it’s certainly a fortunate turn of events."
"You’re in a good mood."
"And then..."
"Rumble... rumble..."
"An increasingly violent tremor echoed from the depths. Faintly, a wretched, ear-piercing, sharp, indescribable whisper exploded beside your ears. Your internal organs trembled, forcing you to cough up a mouthful of blood."
"The damage to the ’door’ has grown more severe, and the sinister entity behind it is likely about to break free."
"The thought surfaces in your mind. You hesitate no longer, nor dare to linger. You arch your back, leap upward, and quickly escape the cave onto the surface. Then, following the chains of destiny, you swiftly locate the current position of the ’Secret Cultivator’ and head in that direction."
"Upon reaching the surface, you don’t have much ti before sensing terrifying tremors from a distant place."
"You glance back... on that far-away horizon, the ground is collapsing, disintegrating into void. One after another, grotesque purple blossoms resembling malford tumors are sprouting from underground at an astonishing speed. Each bloom’s bud pulsates like a heart, seeming to nurture an incredibly horrifying creature. Moreover, this phenonon spreads rapidly in all directions like a virus."
"In the blink of an eye, a sprawling sea of grotesque, twisted tumor-like flowers forms. Their writhing stems take on a deep purple hue, evoking an intensely hair-raising impression."
"This... seems like I might’ve accidentally caused a major incident."
"Watching the purple flowers surge toward you like a tidal wave, a chilling premonition takes root in your heart—a visceral warning that falling into the flower sea would trigger unspeakable horrors. Without a second thought, you set out imdiately toward the location of the ’Secret Cultivator.’
"You..."
...
"Seems, perhaps, maybe, possibly, the ga character accidentally stirred up a major catastrophe."
Yang Qizhou fixed his gaze on his phone screen. Although the text’s descriptions were cryptic and abstract, the terrifying scenes hinted at within still gave him an imnsely ominous feeling.
"Hopefully, this bad premonition is wrong..."
"Otherwise, the only solution might be to invoke the power of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ to restart the world line and return everything to the beginning."
As these thoughts churned in his mind, Yang Qizhou prepared to continue advancing the plot without pause. But at that mont, a trembling, complex voice rang out, "’Lamp Holder’ sir, what, what, what exactly did you do in the underground ruins? Also... isn’t the pursuit of that terrifying entity a bit too exaggerated?"
The speaker was none other than the ’Secret Cultivator.’
At this point, she was biting her lower lip, trembling all over, her entire form seemingly taut with tension.
"It is rather exaggerated," Yang Qizhou thought, agreeing with the text’s depiction. But then he furrowed his eyebrows and added, "Indeed, I’ve stirred up so trouble, but your ga character is already safe; it shouldn’t affect you."
"So trouble?"
The ’Secret Cultivator’ stared hard at him. Seeing that the ’Lamp Holder’ had no intention of recanting his words, she angrily raised her phone in front of him, saying, "You’d better see for yourself whether this counts as ’so trouble.’ I’m starting to suspect your actions might plunge the entire world into destruction."
Reviewing the phone’s text descriptions?
This could potentially reveal a player’s deepest secrets. Perhaps the ’Secret Cultivator’ was truly panicking.
Yang Qizhou shifted his gaze upward...
"The ground shuddered violently. On the distant horizon, a pitch-black point suddenly appeared, expanding and spreading outward. Everything it touched turned into void—where even the concepts of ti and space seed to be obliterated."
"Wh-what is happening?"
"You are overco with fear, bewildered by this horrifying turn of events."
"In that mont, the voice of the ’God of Justice,’ nearing hysteria, thundered in your mind: What have you done? You’ve connected the real-world layer with the ’Naless Land,’ specifically the most bizarre of the ’Four Indescribable Lands!’ This land will now face erosion, reality itself will be horrifically corrupted, and countless lives will face fates worse than death. If this can’t be stopped, even the ’Old Earth’ will cease to exist, and the universe’s end will beco an inevitable outco."
The text refreshed to this point.
The ’God of Justice’ lost composure? Even when besieged nearly to death by the evil gods of the ’Land of Prayer Light,’ they hadn’t displayed such extre behavior.
Wait.
What did they say? The erosion of the ’Naless Land’... and the potential destruction of the Old Earth and the universe itself?
Yang Qizhou sucked in a sharp breath, finally understanding why the ’Secret Cultivator’ had reacted so strongly.
It must be noted that the ’Deceit World’ is no ordinary ga. The Old Earth truly exists and isn’t too far from Blue Star. Even divine beings of ’Star Spirit’ tier can direct their gaze toward it by reciting its na.
If the Old Earth were destroyed...
It wouldn’t just affect players. Even the tiny Blue Star within the solar system would likely face instant annihilation.
This is true apocalypse.
"No problem! Everything’s still under control. Don’t worry, I’ve got it handled." Yang Qizhou waved his hand casually, coaxing the ’Secret Cultivator’ to lower her phone while inwardly debating whether to use the power of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ to restart the destiny line.
The ’Secret Cultivator’ asked skeptically, "Really?"
"Of course."
Successfully calming the ’Secret Cultivator’s’ agitation, Yang Qizhou refocused his gaze on the ga.
Yet his thoughts strayed briefly, returning to the content on the ’Secret Cultivator’s’ phone...
"A pitch-black point, suddenly swelling and expanding outward... This differs from the description on my phone. Two possibilities... First: The ’Naless Land’ possesses peculiar and bizarre properties that make each observer perceive differing images. Second: The ’Secret Cultivator’s’ tier is too low; akin to how three-dinsional beings cannot perceive four-dinsional beings, her ga character’s perspective might not reveal those grotesque purple tumor-like flowers."
"Which one could it be?"
This question, for now, remained unanswered. Yang Qizhou quickly pulled his wandering thoughts back under control, refocusing on his phone.
The ga continued.
...
...
"The ground collapses, one malford purple blossom after another erging, transforming the once barren desert into a vast flower sea."
"To avoid being devoured by the surging waves of the flower sea, you sprint desperately toward the ’Secret Cultivator’ as fast as possible, finally eting her within half a minute."
"But at the sa ti, the monstrous flower sea has already reached your location, less than a hundred ters away."
"The oppressive shadows of the sprawling flowers swallowed the two of you."
