Amidst the chaotic sounds of battle and wails, Shen Baiwei faintly heard a faint sound, like water droplets falling on a hot iron plate.
She paused, then struggled to lift her head and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw the Disaster, surrounded by hundreds of tribal warriors, with her eyes tightly closed as if asleep. Her shoes had disappeared at some point, and her bare feet walked lightly on the sand.
As she walked, circles of flame-like light quietly bloomed beneath her feet. Intense heat spread, and the sand quickly turned into a crimson fluid. The earth cracked inch by inch, and crimson fire erupted from the fissures.
This was an advanced application of the innate ability Lu Yibei had just mastered in Mountain City when facing the Maitian God Offspring, but when she used it now, it seemed somewhat different from how it was in Mountain City.
Under the shroud of high temperature, the blood plasma and severed limbs, which should have rapidly dried and carbonized, instead trembled uncontrollably as if imbued with a strange vitality. The next moment, they monstrously manifested, and Spiritual Energy imbued with decay, high temperature, and hallucinogenic poison wildly spread in all directions.
A sudden surge of air swept through, like a strong wind scattering fallen leaves, striking the tribal warriors who were attacking her with bared fangs and brandished claws.
The next moment, those figures froze as if someone had pressed a pause button, and a dark, ominous color appeared on their bodies.
Their eyes instantly filled with confusion.
They collapsed powerlessly to the ground, not knowing what had happened.
They weren't dead, but their vitality had completely vanished, like the earth falling into a desolate and barren state after a long drought.
Countless indistinguishable illusions flickered around her, sometimes converging, sometimes dispersing, as if something was forming within them.
It felt like buying a box of Lego toys and starting to assemble them without looking at the instructions. Although nothing seemed obvious at first, with time and repeated attempts, one could always create something strange yet surprisingly coherent.
Shen Baiwei was very curious about what those illusions would eventually piece together, but she no longer had the chance.
As Lu Yibei abandoned her and rushed towards the tribal warriors, The Serpent of the Years, which had been circling beside her and coveting her for a long time, finally found its opportunity. It rushed forward without hesitation, coiling its massive body around her, tightening its grip, and then opening its maw to swallow her whole.
In an instant, Shen Baiwei felt her body lose all substance and fall into darkness.
In the darkness, she continued to fall, her consciousness gradually blurring.
Just as her consciousness was blurring to the point of falling into complete silence, she finally managed to maintain a sliver of clarity.
Then.
Shen Baiwei glanced around, and her empty, silent eyes reflected the cold Tethys Laboratory...

Inside Yumen City Pass.
A small, pale, fat worm with skin that shimmered like silicon crystals, carrying an energy bar inscribed with the words “Great Satisfaction,” zipped through the ravaged city pass like an unidentified flying object.
“Damn it, where is he? Where in the world is Lord Huaiyuan?”
As the Shaman King, who had devoured the authority of the First Generation Miracle Saint, broke through the blockade of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate and spread his destructive power beyond it, a fierce battle involving Doji Ten, Fujiwara no Shoguuji, thirteen Assassins nameless Assassins, the Shaman King, and Rin winter, erupted on Sanlongsha.
The information Void received from Nameless Book was that the Night Erosion on Sanlongsha had risen to a terrifying level.
Void had fully confirmed this through the massive amount of information transmitted by the Monster Story Chat Group members via their Dependent Mark (familiar imprints).
The Night Erosion spreading from the Sanlongsha area to a hundred-mile radius had already triggered numerous supernatural phenomena, causing countless urban legend to become restless. In just over an hour, the number of urban legend incidents had increased more than tenfold compared to the same period last year.
Now, Rin winter had fallen, and out of the thirteen Assassins nameless Assassins, only five remained less than an hour after their appearance. Only Doji Ten, who was responsible for direct combat, and Fujiwara no Shoguuji, who was controlling the 【Shikigami · Ootakemaru】 from the side, were still struggling to hold on.
According to Nameless Book's calculations, in at least one hour, and at most about six hours, the Shaman King would completely break through the blockade of the major forces.
After that, if the Black Emperor still believed that the Disaster could turn the tide and was reluctant to activate the Zixiao Platform, the Shaman King would advance towards the Night Watch's final defense line, ambushed on the outskirts of Sanlongsha, consisting of nearly a thousand B-Level to A-level Spirit Ability Users.
Currently, the only method she could think of to prevent a bloody tragedy was to make the berserk Lord Huaiyuan appear.
For the berserk Lord Huaiyuan to appear, her energy bar must be delivered into her hands.
Void initially thought it would be difficult to even take the first step due to Nanling Yaohua's obstruction, but to its surprise, it easily got its hands on the energy bar.
In fact, as the current head of the Yumen Sand Sea, Nanling Yaohua, though appearing fierce due to her concern for Lu Yibei's safety, was actually very reasonable.
After Void explained the whole situation to her, she not only personally searched Lu Yibei thoroughly, inside and out, to find Lord Huaiyuan's energy bar, but also volunteered to search most of the areas within the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate first.
The search results showed no trace of Lord Huaiyuan.
The only place Nanling Yaohua hadn't been was the Lords Manor in the center of the city pass.
The giant, who had temporarily left due to the Shaman King's influence, had returned, and she dared not approach rashly.
Upon learning of Nanling Yaohua's search results, the system, disregarding Nameless Book's dissuasion, volunteered to embark on the journey to the Lords Manor.
The wind howled as the system sped towards the Lords Manor.
For a moment, as if sensing an invisible force descending, its body stiffened, and it instinctively raised its pale, bone-white head, gazing at the chaotic sky, waiting quietly as if expecting to hear some teaching.
Then, as if hallucinating, an incredibly majestic voice echoed in its mind.
“The factor destroying the world, the Disaster!”
The moment it heard the voice, Void’s body stiffened, and a sad, crying emoji appeared on its bald head.
“Could it be that the Disaster... she ultimately couldn’t resist that outcome?” Void murmured to itself.
Among the hundreds of millions of vague outcomes calculated by the immense computing power provided by its authority, only a handful, fewer than ten, were satisfactory, and of these ten, three were greatly related to the Disaster.
Therefore, its imitation of the Disaster was not only an instinctive “replication” driven by its authority, but also an experimental act of self-salvation.
But now, it suddenly felt that its act of following in the Disaster’s footsteps and fighting against her tragic end was somewhat ridiculous.
A sense of powerlessness quietly rose in its heart.
Just then, as if experiencing auditory hallucinations, a faint yet familiar voice sounded in its ear.
“But... I refuse!”

“Everyone! Did you hear that? This is my choice...”
Hearing this, an excited emoji suddenly appeared on Void's round head.
Is it the Disaster? She refused? In that case... I refuse too! Void thought.

Inside the God Kingdom Prototype, on Peony Street, in the large courtyard of the Lu Family Old House.
Wang Yingying's small figure stood in a horse stance on a large water vat, her arms, like lotus roots, holding a stone lock carved with dense glowing runes. Her small face was filled with grievance.
Directly in front of her, Qingji sat with one leg crossed over the other, holding a feather duster, his expression grim.
“At such a young age, you’re not learning good things, but instead acting as an insider. Do you know who that person you let go was? How do I usually teach you?”
“Wuwu...” Wang Yingying replied with a sobbing voice, “But... I can be mischievous, but I can’t lie, I can’t play with bad children, I can’t... I can’t do anything against morality.”
“Very good!” Qingji nodded. “Since you know you’ve made a mistake, you must be punished. Your punishment is no dinner, and you will stand here until tomorrow morning!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yingying’s eyes suddenly flickered with dimness, and then, as if she had lost her soul, she unconsciously made a childish, milky sound.
“Wow! That’s really great, thank you for your grace, but... I refuse!”
Qingji, “???”

Meanwhile, at Da Chunyang Palace, Qiaoyuan Villa.
Hua Sang, finally freed from Zhang Huainan's clutches, walked leisurely towards her room, a dog-tail grass in her mouth and her hands clasped behind her head.
Although, after that Human Fireworks sent by Lu Yibei, she herself chose not to directly use the Human Fireworks to purify the Night Erosion and corruption within her body. Instead, she chose to fish out the Big King turtle from the Cold Pool and merge it with her own Spirit Mark authority.
However, when Zhang Huainan arranged various training sessions related to the fusion, she immediately regretted it.
High-intensity training for long hours every day—was he trying to work her to death?
But regret was useless; that Old man Zhang Huainan would never give her a chance to back out. She could only silently endure it, and after a month, she had been tortured so much that she had lost four or five catties.
“Sigh, what should I do... sigh...”
Just as Hua Sang was grumbling with a belly full of resentment behind Zhang Huainan's back, a mournful voice reached her ears.
She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Fu Xinyi in the corner pavilion, looking troubled. freewebnoveℓ.com
Seeing this, she walked over, sat down beside Fu Xinyi, and patted her shoulder, saying, “What’s wrong with you? Are you tired?”
“Tsk tsk! I used to not quite understand why you looked so troubled every day, but after this period of high-intensity training, I somewhat understand how you feel. Those days are simply unbearable for a human.”
“You might not believe it, but that Old man Zhang Huainan actually made me train for two and a half hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. I think he might want me dead.”
High intensity? Four and a ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) half hours a day? Fu Xinyi squinted at Hua Sang, hesitated several times, then spoke expressionlessly, “Senior Sister, I’m sighing here not because I’m tired, but because...” freewёbnoνel.com
Mid-sentence, Fu Xinyi bit her lip, raised her hand, and took off the woolen hat on her head. Then, a pair of fluffy pink rabbit ears popped out from her golden long hair.
“Holy crap! Rabbit ears? Didn’t you already get rid of them before? Why did they grow back?” Hua Sang exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, in Prosperity Beijing City, at the Si Ye Hui Headquarters, Observation Room No. 5.
“Bang—!”
With a muffled thud, the door of Observation Room No. 5 was forcefully pushed open. A tall young woman, dressed in dark gray work attire with a single ponytail, rushed out of Observation Room No. 5 in a panic, ran through the long corridor, and headed towards Nameless Book’s office.
“Lord Nameless Book! Emergency, emergency!”
“Lord Nameless Book!”
The young woman’s name was Wu Yuhui. She was one of Nameless Book’s five resident scribes. Her daily work, besides assisting Nameless Book in her duties, mostly involved observing various data from the three highest-danger-level sealed zones within Z Country.
Just a minute ago, she observed unprecedented and terrifying changes in the data within the X Tai Sui sealed zone, which she was responsible for: abnormally high Spiritual Energy fluctuation activity, a surge in Night Erosion, and sixty-two sealed Spiritual Energy circuits attacked and damaged to varying degrees...
All signs indicated that X Tai Sui was attempting to break free from its Ban (seal).
Judging solely from the data changes, the intensity of its struggle this time was several times greater than usual!
The seriousness of the situation instantly escalated to the level of a Red Owl signal.
If X Tai Sui successfully broke its seal and recalled its avatars, which it had scattered across the world before its sealing to constantly create various large-scale epidemics, and merged with them, its power would increase to an uncontrollable level in a short period of time.
“Bang—!”
Arriving at Nameless Book’s office door, Wu Yuhui hurriedly pushed it open. When she saw that only another Night Watch member, who was also a resident scribe, was in the office and Nameless Book was not present, her brows furrowed.
“Where is Lord Nameless Book?” Wu Yuhui asked.
“She wasn’t here when I arrived...” the other Night Watch member said. “Perhaps she rushed to Yumen Pass? The situation there is quite urgent.”
“Ah?” Wu Yuhui’s expression changed. “Why at a time like this?”
Although X Tai Sui’s unrest was very high-risk, it was ultimately just a desperate struggle. If a Night Watch Guardian personally went to suppress it, it would still be relatively easy to resolve.
But now...
“Oh, right.” Wu Yuhui suddenly looked at her colleague as if remembering something and asked, “Why are you here?”
The Night Watch member picked up a stack of documents on the table and waved them. “Master Bixuzi from Da Chunyang Palace, who is responsible for jointly observing the Code F Monster with several major forces, sent news that the Spiritual Energy of the Code F Monster has shown abnormal fluctuations.”
Wu Yuhui, “???”
What the heck? What’s going on? Two highest-danger-level urban legend acting up at the same time? Is the world going to end?
