Chapter 478: Chapter 95: Origin Level Aberration

The white light expanded like the blazing sun, growing brighter and more immense as if a star was approaching from thousands of kilometers above.

The bootlicker Tian Jing, who had waited painfully for seven hundred years, shielded Jian Qiu without hesitation at the instant he saw the light engulfing countless Evil Fallen on the flights, dissolving them into invisibility.

Jian Qiu knew she couldn’t escape this calamity, so she took Tian Jing’s hand and stood side by side with him, ready to fight.

It’s not that she had taken a fancy to this bootlicker, but she felt that since he had protected her for seven hundred years—although meaninglessly—his intentions were sincere and should be acknowledged as an obligation.

If we’re talking about liking someone, chances are she’d reconcile with the scumbag who hurt her before she’d like Tian Jing.

Tian Jing shed tears of excitement, finding his seven hundred years of silent companionship worthwhile once again.

His tears turned invisible, so did his body, and then Jian Qiu too was completely engulfed by the white light.

The owner of the Decomposition of All Things domain, Jing Wu, visibly weakened at that moment, even his flesh began to slowly dissipate, as if also decomposed by this power.

This formidable domain, in a mere moment, caused the death of hundreds of passengers on the flights.

Only two outsiders were left, one continuously retreating, shocked by the power and ever-changing form of this Twisted owner and frantically fleeing, but still unable to close the distance from the white light.

The other, in a frenzy, raised his greatsword high and charged into the midst of the white light.

Both the owner of the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies and Jing Wu were astounded at this scene.

However, Jing Wu’s astonishment was mixed with delight.

Finally, this troublesome human was going to die at his hands!

All those prophecies of a savior, all talk of the Well’s destroyer, were false! All the worries of his second elder brother would end with his own victory!

Jing Wu, who had experienced several failures and never let himself get carried away, finally laughed wildly.

Having defeated the so-called prophesied one, and soon to gain the Power of Life and Death and Reincarnation, he was steadily mastering the power of Decomposition of All Things as well. After this battle, he would become the one with the greatest potential among the six at the Well Level!

Next, he only needed to kill that odd birdman.

As for the blacksmith, the merchant, the doctor.

They indeed held some value, but compared to his third elder brother’s Power of Life and Death, all these tools were disposable.

Even if among them were subordinates who had followed him for a long time, Jing Wu couldn’t care less.

If their lives could be traded for Bai Wu’s death, Jing Wu would cast them aside without even blinking an eye.

The white light instantly engulfed Bai Wu, seemingly turning him into nothingness at that moment.

This human, who had brought him shame time after time, was finally dead...

...

...

Outside the Tower, in the peripheral area of the Well.

Mountains, oceans, deserts, cities, and forests changed randomly within this area like a jumbled puzzle.

Not long ago, Jing Er brought White Deer back to this area, a place both near and seemingly far from the Well.

After some time passed, Jing Er also found Hong Yin.

He decided to have a chat with Hong Yin to understand how she felt about those humans.

Although Hong Yin wasn’t very willing, she couldn’t refuse—because she was no match for Jing Er.

The two initially talked about Bai Wu, but as they spoke, with Bai Wu’s karma severed, the topic shifted to Wu Jiu.

It was Gu Qingyu who had saved Hong Yin in the Ninth Hospital, summoned her with the mask, and likewise, it was Gu Qingyu who risked her life to save Hong Yin in Zao Lake Village.

And the very child of prophecy that Jing Er dreaded, the one to destroy the Well and end the Twisted Realm, had also shifted from Bai Wu to Gu Qingyu.

The two just so happened to discuss the prophecy as well.

"I never believed in prophecies," said Jing Er.

Hong Yin said in annoyance,

"Don’t believe? Then why are you rushing to Baichuan City? I hate people who say one thing but mean another the most."

Hypocritical, huh?

Jing Er admitted it openly, several brothers and sisters had said something similar as well.

But he truly liked humans, enjoyed the company of weaker beings, and cherished Buddhist principles. It’s just that, compared to affection, there was a certain "setting" in his mind that took precedence over everything else.

As long as this setting remained, he could never live in a way that reflected his likes. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

It was at this moment, temporarily without any conflict of interest with this girl, that Jing Er somewhat enjoyed starting a conversation with her.

In the future, they might become enemies, but at least for now, Jing Er could tolerate Hong Yin’s hostility and unilaterally consider Hong Yin as someone he could talk to.

As to whether Hong Yin thought of him as a good person or a bad one, he couldn’t even be sure of himself, so why bother about what others thought?

Jing Er said,

"This is the truth, I don’t really believe in prophecies. You should know, when I opened the Well, preparing to go to Baichuan City to kill Gu Qingyu, it was my sister who brought me the news."

"I have always believed that humans could never defeat us, but my brother was beaten by this human."

"Under my sister’s persuasion, I started to think that perhaps the person mentioned in the prophecy has appeared, that the Well will indeed be destroyed by humans, and maybe it was this person."

Hong Yin scorned the idea.

Talk of cause and effect, destiny, prophecy—she didn’t believe in any of it. In Jing Er’s eyes, he thought Bai Wu, or rather Gu Qingyu, was the person from the prophecies who would destroy the Well.

But in Hong Yin’s eyes, this person was someone who broke destiny.

Jing Er looked at the young girl with a somewhat disdainful expression, yet he didn’t get angry, and even smiled with a face full of Buddhist serenity:

"Maybe I’m clouded by fatalism. I’ve realized that I’m beginning to show some contradictions; I despise humans, yet at the same time, I like them."

"I believe that humans can never surpass us, but humans have indeed crossed a certain domain. I cannot ask for your forgiveness, because in the end, for the sake of the Well, the thoughts in my head are compelling me to commit acts of insane destruction."

Hong Yin recalled the situation at the time and felt a sense of dread.

The power that Jing Er had shown then was enough to obliterate the entirety of Baichuan City.

At that moment, she feared that both she and Zero would die.

"The reason for such a crazy act was that Gu Qingyu displayed a strange power. It was my first time seeing such power."

"At the edge of the Well, I’ve seen many strange energies. According to some records from the Pre-Tower Era, the abilities of the Evil Fallen mainly came from mutation levels and entries."

"Entries are divided into several tiers, and the strongest and rarest are the Legendary Tier Mutation Entries. Any Evil Fallen who possesses such an entry deserves our wariness and can even allow the Evil Fallen to cross certain limits, reaching the standard of the six of us."

A perfect-tier mutation entry is already powerful enough, but a legendary-tier mutation entry, any one of them, could change the layout of the world.

Jing Er said,

"Even if I saw a legendary-tier power, I wouldn’t be surprised, but with Gu Qingyu, the punch that hit me... that was a power of a higher level, on par with Laosi’s Inverted Well, an even higher-level power."

Finally, Hong Yin spoke up,

"A higher-level power?"

"Yes, in the Baichuan City shelter, I was determined to kill Gu Qingyu not because he had undergone metamorphosis and become much stronger, but because he displayed a method almost akin to the ’Well’."

"What exactly is this power? Even though we were born in the Well, we don’t understand the significance of the Well."

"But I have an inkling that Gu Qingyu understood what the Well means, what twist means."

"Due to the power that twists everything, entries, sequences, beings, heaven and earth, space and time, all being twisted under that power, this is why I feared, if there was a human who could destroy the Well, then this human... can only be him!"

Although in Jing Er’s view, at that time, Gu Qingyu, also known as Bai Wu, only caused him minor injuries with that extreme Power of Twist.

But this was only because Gu Qingyu couldn’t control this power; if he continued to refine it, perhaps one day...

This human could transcend the Well, and he might even be able to kill the Well.

"Such a person made me realize that he would definitely pose a threat to the Well. If I encountered him, I would still confront him without hesitation."

Hong Yin restrained herself from the impulse to fight Jing Er, but fortunately Jing Er said:

"But I also realized that the will I have to protect the Well seems to be distorting my original will. Fortunately, Laosi expelled me, and I did not kill him either. Otherwise, we would not possibly be sitting together having a chat."

"That power of Twist is still very weak, but I am very sure that I have no means to dissolve that move. Distortion cannot be understood, only felt. Maybe he has started to understand distortion, which is why he obtained such power."

"If you ask me to evaluate that power, in my view, it is a force that surpasses Legendary Tier Entries... an Origin Level force."

"Only my younger brother Jing Si, the great person I serve, and the one who sealed it, could comprehend such a level of power."

"Perhaps one day in the future, he will not only be able to feel distortion but also be able to harness it."

Hong Yin disliked Jing Er but was also amazed at Jing Er’s assessment of someone.

She was also shocked by the power described by Jing Er:

"Origin Level... Power of Twist?"

...

...

Outside the Tower, on a flight.

The flight had completely vanished; only Jing Wu and the coffin behind him remained.

The Decomposition of All Things gave Jing Wu absolute confidence—who would Zero, Bai Wu, or even several of his brothers be to the current Jing Wu? He was confident that with this power, he could dissolve all enemies!

The Pursuer was finally facing the ordeal of death!

The deadly white light was already chasing him from behind. The massive wings phantasmed by the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies, were being turned into nothingness bit by bit, and in the next second, they would engulf him whole!

But at that moment... just as he activated the Decomposition of All Things, Jing Wu suddenly saw an incredible scene and momentarily froze.

In the dazzling white light, it was as if a drop of ink splashed onto a sheet of white paper!

Within the absolute death-like white, a blackness emerged!

The damn feeling that had been dispersed due to the activation of the Decomposition of All Things was coming back!

"Bai... Bai Wu?"

Jing Wu did not know if that existence in the Decomposition domain, akin to a black hole, was Bai Wu.

But at that moment, Jing Wu suddenly remembered the scene when Bai Wu had injured Jing Er outside the Baichuan City shelter with a punch.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment...

Jing Wu quickly realized that it was not as if... it was that time really slowed down, everything within his perception range seemed to have stopped!

Even the owner of the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies, just before being submerged, was halted together with the spreading white light of the Decomposition domain.

From slowing down to a standstill, as if indicating that certain power was growing stronger!

That black aura was approaching Jing Wu bit by bit within the Decomposition domain!

What power was this?

Jing Wu was utterly shocked. Why couldn’t even Decomposition break it down?

Could it be that there were things in this world that even Decomposition couldn’t dissolve?

While Jing Wu was thinking about this, he suddenly realized something... indeed, there existed in the world something that even Decomposition could not dissolve—

Distortion.

Decomposition takes all Sequence entries, attack methods, and turns them into pure energy, but these pure energies were not supposed to exist in this world.

They exist because of the Well, because of distortion!

Perfect Tier entries, rare entries, Legendary Tier entries, as well as various sequences, Innate Forces, Mutation levels, and peculiar rules—all these things only emerged after the arrival of distortion.

It was the true origin!

Don’t try to understand distortion, feel it!

These were the insights Bai Wu had in an instant after drinking the Well Water, spanning over a decade.

In the Memory World, Bai Wu used this power again against a Law Body of the Pursuer, an owner of Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies.

This event became a memory, and in the world of memories, any memory could be relived over and over!

This was also why Bai Wu was confident in facing Jing Wu, perhaps unable to engage in a protracted battle.

But if he used his killing move from the start, he was fairly certain he could severely injure Jing Wu.

Only, faced with Decomposition of All Things, Bai Wu didn’t know whether his power would be decomposed into nothingness!

But now, Bai Wu, wrapped in tangible distortion, was the embodiment of the Well!

The dark figure wrapped in blackness also twined that power around his weapon,

as if an invincible protective shell against Decomposition of All Things, protecting both Bai Wu and the greatsword in his hands from being swallowed by decomposition!

In a domain of absolute annihilation, where time and space were completely twisted, Bai Wu’s energy was being drained.

He and Jing Wu became visibly emaciated at a speed the eye could see.

But Bai Wu kept moving forward, step by step, his gaze sharp as knives, slowly approaching Jing Wu.

The process seemed unbearably long, yet due to the time distortion, it was incredibly short.

With each step that Bai Wu took, the extent of time-space distortion grew increasingly astonishing.

Initially, Jing Wu and the Pursuer only felt time slowing down!

But as Bai Wu took his second step, time began to halt.

On the third step, veins bulged on Bai Wu’s forehead. The black silhouette, in the blank space, drew a straight line.

Time was still at a halt.

On the fourth step, blood flowed from Bai Wu’s nose and mouth, hidden within the black distortion and hard to see.

And Jing Wu and the Pursuer noticed... the Decomposition of All Things domain was shrinking.

On the fifth step, as the sunlight began to reverse, Jing Wu suddenly realized it wasn’t the domain of Decomposition of All Things that was shrinking...

Under extreme distortion... time was reversing!

This wasn’t an absolute reversal of time since living creatures within space-time wouldn’t be aware of such an event if it truly occurred.

But Bai Wu’s power was distortion; he didn’t twist the entirety of space-time, nor did he possess such power.

What he twisted was the space-time within the Decomposition of All Things domain.

His life force was rapidly depleting, Bai Wu’s body shrunk like Jing Wu’s, as if their flesh was being decomposed.

Yet, his advancing steps didn’t slow.

The seventh step, the eighth step, the ninth step...

Bai Wu neared Jing Wu step by step, and everything in the realm was restoring bit by bit!

The items decomposed into nothingness, the passengers dissolved into void, all returned a little with each step Bai Wu drew closer to Jing Wu, as time reversal caused them to slowly restore!

As he got closer to Jing Wu, Bai Wu raised his hands, lifting the Envy Greatsword high:

"The time has come for an end between us, Jing Wu!"

Jing Wu could not believe it, how could Bai Wu achieve such a feat?

Although what Bai Wu was doing seemed not much different from the actions of Baichuan City refuge, merely distorting everything, the scale was entirely different.

If Jing Si’s domain was an Inverted Well Domain, where all distortions dissipated, then Bai Wu’s domain, was the domain of the Well!

What really was the Well?

Bai Wu could not understand, he could only feel it, and in the process of feeling, he tried to tame it!

Perhaps it would be a long time before he could unleash such a powerful strike again, perhaps this strike would exact a huge toll on himself, but Bai Wu could not afford to care much about that, he took one step after another, steadily closing in on Jing Wu.

Jing Wu still couldn’t believe it, how could the oppressive Decomposition of All Things realm possibly lose?

Every place traversed by the Decomposition of All Things realm had been "repaired" by Bai Wu with a twist!

Even the merchants, blacksmiths, doctors, those Evil Fallen dissipated into nothingness, had also returned to this world!

The realm displayed by Bai Wu, in terms of power, was far inferior to the Decomposition of All Things realm, but the fundamental difference in the nature of their powers determined the outcome of this battle!

The Decomposition of All Things is an extremely domineering force, but if there is also a "mind" between force and force, then the Power of Twist is like an emperor reigning supreme, despising the Decomposition of All Things with a lofty gaze!

As if it were the ultimate power!

One hundred seventy-five steps, with the twisting of space, the long distance was covered by Bai Wu in one hundred seventy-five steps, he had already arrived in front of Jing Wu.

How weak did he appear?

Jing Wu was immobilized at that moment, drained of most of his strength by the power of Decomposition, and Bai Wu was similarly exhausted.

Though the Decomposition could do nothing against Bai Wu’s Twisted Realm, at this moment, Bai Wu’s realm could at most draw even with the Decomposition of All Things.

In the future, he was destined to meticulously refine the Twisted Realm until it completely surpassed the Decomposition, but now—

As the masters of the two realms faced each other, both could feel that the other was utterly spent.

Both had reached their limits.

When two armies clash, it is the braver who wins; and when the body is at its limit, it is the will that is contested!

It was about who could support their realm for longer.

If Bai Wu couldn’t hold on and the twist dispersed, he would be instantly reduced to nothingness.

But Bai Wu was always a ruthless man, he even showed a somewhat grim expression, roaring loudly:

"Jing Wu! You’ve lost!"

The Envy Greatsword, entwined with the Power of Twist, was brought down!

A streak of black light, progressing through white radiance, suddenly burst forth!

The Pursuers, all the Evil Fallen who were decomposed and then twisted back into their original forms, thought that the collision of powers between two top fighters would cause a violent explosion!

They thought that everyone would die again in the explosion!

But none of this happened.

The power of the Decomposition of All Things was actually devoured by the black light entwined around Bai Wu...

A terrifying energy fluctuation imprisoned time and space, and no one knew the outcome of the confrontation between Bai Wu and Jing Wu, not even the doctors, blacksmiths, and merchants close to Bai Wu and Jing Wu could see clearly.

As if night had suddenly fallen, all that could be seen by anyone was pitch darkness.

After a very, very long time, the pitch darkness began to dissipate bit by bit.

Some people gradually realized that they seemed to be able to move.

The Pursuer, frozen in the moment of a breath, finally completed this breath.

Tian Jing, originally dissolved into nothingness, felt the warmth of Goddess Jian Qiu’s palm.

The doctor’s legs were somewhat weak, nearly kneeling on the ground.

Even the blacksmith did not hold his hammer steady, and the merchant couldn’t care less about the mummy.

The mummy did not initiate reincarnation again... Reincarnation no longer mattered; it did not want to experience the terror from just moments ago, ever again.

Inside the huge airplane, light gradually prevailed, and the glow bit by bit chased away the darkness.

Through the holes in the cargo hold, daylight finally pierced the darkness, but it did not completely dispel it.

It was as if in some pitch-black scene, a spotlight suddenly shone down.

Merchants, blacksmiths, and doctors all focused their attention here.

As the twists of time and space slowly dissipated... heavy breathing became increasingly clear.

In the heart of the darkness, Bai Wu’s greatsword cleaved from Jing Wu’s left shoulder down to the right side of his waist.

Well Level monsters, in a sense, possess a form of immortality.

Bai Wu’s strike had not ended Jing Wu’s life.

Both he and Jing Wu were in a state of overload, the difference being that Jing Wu had already lost his combat capability.

Although Bai Wu was tired, he seemed to still have the strength for one more battle.

Bai Wu’s gaze was resolute, as if he still had energy to spare.

The Envy Greatsword continuously released destructive power within Jing Wu’s body, and Jing Wu’s face was filled with pain and humiliation.

Bai Wu’s breathing became more stable:

"This time... one-on-one, I won!"

The words "I won" were spoken by Bai Wu with force and a gleam in his eye.

Jing Wu couldn’t believe it, with the domain of Decomposition of All Things at his command, he should have possessed a power that not even Zero could match.

But in the clash of secret techniques— he had lost to a human!

He remembered the time in Mechanical City when this human had been beaten and left in disarray by himself.

Even after undergoing transformation in the battle at Baichuan City, even with an Angel Envoy boosting his power, he was still no match for him.

But the seeds of disaster were sown at that very moment.

Jing Wu had not realized why, after being injured by Bai Wu, Jing Er suddenly became more determined to eliminate Bai Wu.

All of this... was related to the power Bai Wu gained after drinking the Well Water.

It wasn’t vitality or defensive power, nor was it strength or speed. Basic combat power enhancement was of little significance to Jing Er.

What truly made Jing Er wary was Bai Wu showing characteristics of the Well, manifesting a power that seemed capable of twisting everything!

It’s just that Jing Wu didn’t take it seriously at the time, because in his view, Bai Wu’s all-out attack had only caused some minor injuries to his elder brother.

Only at this moment did Jing Wu truly realize the terror of this power!

What made Jing Wu most unwilling to accept was that having deployed the domain of Decomposition of All Things, he had already exhausted his strength, and with Bai Wu’s strike...

He was in no condition to fight again for a short time. Yet although Bai Wu looked tired, he still had the strength for another battle.

It was unimaginable that without using Reconstruction, Bai Wu actually restored the decomposed people and objects by twisting space and time.

At this moment, Jing Wu’s weakness had reached its limit, to the point that even the merchants and blacksmiths could probably defeat him.

But the merchants and the blacksmith wouldn’t make a move, they were just staring at Bai Wu.

Bai Wu turned to the doctor, appearing quite calm:

"That mummy has also been heavily injured, now is your opportunity to seize Reincarnation."

His breathing became even more steady, as if his power was rapidly recovering.

The doctor, witnessing this scene, felt a storm brewing inside. Still wavering between turning against Jing Wu or continuing to side with Bai Wu, it made up its mind at this moment.

On one hand was a Well Level being that dissolved him without hesitation, on the other was a more powerful new ally who had saved him and held true to his promises...

The doctor wasn’t foolish, he already knew how to choose.

Bai Wu kicked away Jing Wu and retracted his greatsword, his gaze sharp as he looked toward the back.

Behind the cargo hold were the chambers for the passengers. Inside the chambers were the Evil Fallen, intimidated by the two immense forces.

The Evil Fallen dared not to act rashly, but there was one exception, and he was also the luckiest person in this battle—

The Pursuer.

Bai Wu certainly had not overlooked the owner of the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies.

Even though this person’s strength did not rival Jing Wu’s, he was definitely a formidable contender within this power range.

Bai Wu’s aura became even more composed; no longer paying attention to Jing Wu, who had temporarily lost the ability to fight, he raised his greatsword with one hand, pointing at The Pursuer:

"If your goal also includes this mummy and the owner of the coffin, then you are my enemy."

It was this entity, a splinter of the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies’ owner, who had fought Bai Wu in the Memory World.

The splinter’s master remained silent, simply watching Bai Wu, allowing that doctor to use the Legendary Tier Entry, Mutation Fusion Technique, to seize Reincarnation.

Bai Wu, evidently still retaining the strength to fight again, left The Pursuer inwardly astonished with his indifferent face.

In his eyes, Bai Wu had saved his life, but this also meant that Bai Wu was an immense aggregation of distortions; otherwise, how could he have defeated Jing Wu just moments before?

The more twisted an entity, the more it should be reclaimed.

Regardless of good or evil, beyond the scale of right or wrong.

This was The Pursuer’s mission, but seeing that Bai Wu still seemed capable of fighting made The Pursuer tread carefully—

Should they actually fight, how likely was it to successfully reclaim the distortion, and how likely was it to die instead?

Should he take advantage now, while the other party harbored no intent to kill, to leave this place? Or should he take action before the other obtained Reincarnation and eradicate the threat early?

Even The Pursuer had to carefully consider these options, for against an enemy he could not defeat, The Pursuer would not recklessly seek to kill.

After all, the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies allowed him to master many forces—if he couldn’t win this time, winning the next time would suffice.

But the Decomposition of All Things that Jing Wu had displayed made The Pursuer feel the presence of death for the first time. Yet when he thought it was the most terrifying force in the world, Bai Wu burst forth with an even more formidable power.

Such was the Bai Wu that The Pursuer too felt fear.

So these thoughts surged forth instantly, causing Bai Wu and the owner of the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies to be locked in a standoff.

Bai Wu tried to appear as nonchalant and calm as possible, also seemingly uninterested in The Pursuer, as if he had the strength to spare for another battle.

But in truth... Bai Wu was at the end of his tether, with no strategies left.

Whether it was the assertive three words "I have won," or the confidence and determination in his eyes, it was all a facade by Bai Wu.

Now, whether it was the doctor’s betrayal, the resistance of the blacksmith and the merchant, or the decision by the owner of the Ten Thousand Phantasmal Bodies to profit from the fishermen’s gains...

Bai Wu had no options left.

The remarks in his eyes remained exceedingly simple, which indicated that he had not escaped the danger.

Bai Wu had not defeated Jing Wu, either.

In this duel, he ultimately found himself unable to maintain the Power of Twist after delivering that slash.

Jing Wu was gravely injured, with no power left to fight.

Bai Wu was even more severely injured than Jing Wu, merely feigning calm through sheer will.

The force that Jing Wu had displayed was too shocking, unmatched.

And yet, Bai Wu had managed to defeat this force, which made everyone believe that Bai Wu’s strength was unfathomable.

However, the reality was perilously dangerous; whether using the Twisted Realm or the Envy Greatsword, the toll on Bai Wu was extremely horrific.

Reluctantly, Bai Wu had no choice but to cease the battle.

"My only hope now... is that the doctor can be deceived by me, and between Jing Wu and me, he will choose to aid me."

"As long as I obtain Reincarnation... there will be nothing left for me to fear."

"I cannot show the slightest bit of reluctance..."

Bai Wu’s body had long been overdrawn to its limit, and he could faint at any moment, but he was relying on a terrifying personal will to deceive everyone.

In his mind emerged the twisted future he had seen in a revelation, recalling friends from within the High Tower... Bearing the abject state of mere survival in a heavy future, this kept Bai Wu from falling.

Far from retreating, Bai Wu advanced to the middle of the cargo hold.

With each step, he forced himself to press on, yet his stride was incomparably stable, as if to protect the doctor.

He came before the doctor, the greatsword planted in the ground, his action exuding dominance, but the truth was his hand was already too weak to wield the massive sword.

If the doctor chose to attack at that moment, he would have found Bai Wu at the end of his tether.

Yet the more composed Bai Wu appeared, the more the doctor dared not make a move.

And contrary to that, the doctor was very cooperative at the moment.

The doctor, Jing Wu, the blacksmith, the merchant, The Pursuer, whether it was Evil Fallen or twisted recyclers that had survived since ancient times, or monsters created by the source of the twist...

All were deterred by Bai Wu’s calmly composed demeanor.

Any one of them could have easily killed Bai Wu as he was then.

The future seemed as if it was on the verge of being reversed at that moment.

Enduring all kinds of agony, Bai Wu was like a general with a broken weapon and a dead horse amidst countless enemies.

Trapped in a certain death situation, yet with a terrifying presence, he was determined to carve a bloody path through the enemy ranks.

No one could understand how anxious yet proud Bai Wu was at that moment.

He was extremely hoping the doctor would quickly complete the transfer of the Entry but didn’t even glance at the doctor.

It was the moment in life closest to death, but also his most daring.

Time ticked by, second by second, and the few people in the silence, watching Bai Wu, were also extremely alert.

The doctor suddenly exclaimed excitedly:

"It’s done, it’s done! Finally, it’s done! Bai Wu... you have to keep your word, with it, our past debts are wiped clean."

Bai Wu nodded, he wanted to say something, but he was too weak and worried that opening his mouth would reveal some problems.

It was just a glance, signaling the doctor to continue with the next action.

Survival or death? Is the future inevitable or finally reversed? The answer to the question depended on the doctor’s next move.

In the doctor’s hand emerged some kind of blue soul-like object, and the mummy let out a painful roar.

The legendary Tier Mutation Entry · Reincarnation, was extracted from the mummy’s body by an equally legendary Tier Mutation Fusion Technique.

In the doctor’s hands, Sequence and Entry, as if turning from some abstract concept, became physical objects.

The merchant looked on with envy, Jing Wu was full of unwillingness, The Pursuer took a step forward, Bai Wu uttered a low shout:

"I don’t kill you, only because I disdain to kill you, scram!"

This domineering presence swept through like a storm, and at that moment, Bai Wu was like an unrivaled expert, standing proudly among the demons with his greatsword.

The Pursuer took a step forward and then ended up taking several steps back. If Bai Wu had any intent to kill, The Pursuer would have fought with Bai Wu to the end.

But the problem was that Bai Wu had no intent to kill, and this made The Pursuer lack the courage to fight for his life.

With no one daring to defy Bai Wu, in this test of life and death, Bai Wu had never once been negligent, never revealing a single flaw.

But just as the doctor’s hand touched Bai Wu, ready to fuse the altered Reincarnation into Bai Wu...

Daylight suddenly turned into a starry sky.

Above the gaping hole in the cargo hold, instead of the glaring sunlight above the clouds, there were the starlights only seen at night.

A weak voice from a woman came:

"Heaven favors us... We’ve arrived just in time, Brother Wu, long time no see."
