Free Web NovelIn the gloomy cave, a drop of foul water fell from a stalactite column, but before it could touch the ground, it hung suspended in mid-air.
Gu Qianqian stared at the water drop reflecting golden light in front of her, startled for a moment, then widened her eyes curiously, reaching out to lightly touch it, only to see the water drop scatter as if weightless.
The next moment, everything returned to normal, the scattered water drops fell rapidly, hitting the hard, cold ground with a light sound.
A light sound, like a special command, caused the stagnant time to flow again.
The twisted, foul monster, like a pile of black, shiny mud with no fixed shape, let out a roar, a powerful, ear-piercing noise, as if the wails of countless tormented souls were mixed together.
The Spiritual Energy fluctuations, which had gathered the sins and negative energy of this abandoned land for thousands of years, rippled outwards.
Close to it, Lu Yibei's body was suspended in mid-air, her eyes tightly closed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, on her delicate face, beneath her fair skin, lava-like light spread along her veins, and her fiery red hair moved behind her without wind.
Hot, violent, highly destructive, and mixed with a hint of bloody scent, Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread from her small body, sweeping through the cave like a tornado.
The mutated infants caught between the two terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations trembled on the ground, they should have forgotten all fear and pain.
But at this moment, they remembered the lowliness of being oppressed by the "Supreme" again, and soon they screamed in terror and fled in all directions.
Gu Qianqian looked around, at the confronting monster and Lu Yibei, and weakly asked the system in her mind, "system, system, what's going on?"
"Gu Qianqian, don't speak, don't release Spiritual Energy fluctuations, back away carefully..." the system said in a heavy tone.
It wasn't clear why the Disaster was only releasing Spiritual Energy fluctuations to suppress, and hadn't attacked yet.
However.
It knew that once Gu Qianqian's Spiritual Energy fluctuations were caught in this clash of Spiritual Energy fluctuations, the outcome would likely be very bad.
It was like two adults fighting furiously, and suddenly a three-year-old child jumped out to mediate, it was quite possible that the two adults would team up and beat the mediator to death.
...
"Booster, calling booster! Booster... Uh, hmm?"
Lu Yibei shouted loudly, suddenly feeling dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning, and the strange, colorful scenery in front of her seemed to be sucked into a vortex. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Then.
Her body fell rapidly, landing on a familiar rooftop of a tall building.
Opening her eyes, her vision was met with the pitch-black night sky, like it was soaked in ink.
The firmament seemed to have cracked, still revealing the original darkness of the universe, the stars were dim, and malicious rays penetrated the dry air, shining on the scarred earth.
The great fires in the ruined city had gone out at some point, and the ruins, like the skeletons of dead giant beasts, were covered everywhere with scorched marks.
As far as the eye could see, it was a scene of death after the Disaster, and even the wind that blew was silent.
Only...
Something didn't seem quite right?
Lu Yibei slightly furrowed her brow.
The next moment, her pupils slightly contracted, and she hurriedly lay down on the ground, her fingers tightly gripping the cracks in the ground.
The earth was above, the sky was below, the world seemed to be upside down.
"Tsk, look at your cowardly, inexperienced appearance!"
The voice of the mysterious girl sounded in her ear, Lu Yibei was startled for a moment, and looked over following the sound, but saw a strange figure.
She wore a long black dress interwoven with dark red ornate lace, the low-cut design fully displayed her perfect figure, walking step by step, her fair, slender legs provocatively appeared and disappeared from beneath the hem of her skirt, carrying a hint of coldness, her snowy white long hair gently swayed behind her.
"Tap—tap—!" Her slender heels struck the ground, making enticing soft sounds.
If the mysterious girl she had seen before was a hot-tempered, exquisite young woman, then the one she saw now was an alluring, goddess-like older Sister.
Dangerously alluring.
However, this goddess who looked unapproachable, gracefully walked to Lu Yibei's side, ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) but brazenly took off her high heels, threw them aside, and lay down beside her.
She turned her face to look at Lu Yibei, her nose less than an inch away from her face, her long, thick eyelashes like snowy white fans.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Although lying on a wasteland-style rooftop with a beautiful woman in a spatially distorted world, gazing at the starry sky, had a somewhat romantic feel.
But.
"Beautiful Miss, who are you? Where's my booster?!"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled charmingly, "You didn't recognize me like this, did you?"
Hearing this, Lu Yibei frowned, and carefully observed the girl beside her, the outline of her fair face vaguely carried a hint of familiarity.
"Holy crap!? You are... It's only been a few days, how did you..."
"No, Sister, why have your chest muscles become so exaggerated? Did you take hormones?"
Facing Lu Yibei's trash talk, the girl didn't seem to mind at all, instead, she puffed out her chest and said with a thick skin, "It's just Demoness form! How about it, isn't it amazing? Do you want to experience the extraordinary texture?"
"What's so great about it, I'm not interested..." Lu Yibei said expressionlessly.
As she spoke, she sat up, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the rather vulgar cleavage on the girl's chest, she didn't know why, but she had no interest whatsoever in that scene that was enough to make someone nosebleed.
That feeling made her feel very strange, like looking in a mirror, even though the person reflected in the mirror looked completely different from her. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The girl rolled her eyes at her indifferently, and also sat up, fumbling around on herself for a while, pulling out a box of women's cigarettes and a silver lighter.
Taking one out and lighting it, she took a deep puff, then handed the cigarette to Lu Yibei, and said lightly, "Want a puff?"
Lu Yibei glanced at the crimson lipstick print on the filter, and waved her hand, "I quit a long time ago, and besides, I'm a clean freak."
The girl shrugged, "Miss, you were calling for a booster just now, right?"
Lu Yibei was startled for a moment, only then remembering the purpose of her trip, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, that's right, I'm in big trouble, hurry up and arrange a booster!"
"..." The girl stared at Lu Yibei with a serious expression and pondered for a few seconds, then sighed, "Alas! I say, it's not okay for you to rely on boosters so much, you know?"
"A booster can help you for a while, but not forever, let alone..."
The girl paused here and said, "Speaking of which, have you ever used a booster when playing games?"
"No." Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes as she spoke, "Me, someone who once received a trial contract for an eSports team's youth training, do you think I need a booster?"
"That's true." The girl nodded with certainty in her eyes, then changed the subject, "However, even if you haven't used one, you should know that using a booster requires a price, right?"
"Account ban?" Lu Yibei said weakly.
"Something like that! Your body can't withstand that level of power at all right now, using it once means living ten years less, each time is one less time, the sooner you use it up, the sooner you die, if you rely on it too much, it's not impossible to suddenly drop dead while walking on the street one day."
"Hiss—!" Lu Yibei sucked in a breath of cold air, "Is this the legendary life-krypton play style?"
"Then how many years can I live? Let me calculate how many more times I can use it, so I can have a reasonable plan."
"How the ♦ would I know how many years you can live?"
Lu Yibei rolled her eyes at the girl, "Tsk, I thought you even knew how many hairs I have!"
The girl, "..."
As for how many hairs, I can really know if I go back and count carefully.
But, how long one can live is hard to say.
The girl muttered to herself, collected her thoughts, patted Lu Yibei's shoulder, and tilted her chin slightly upwards, "So, are you still going to use a booster this time?"
Hearing this, Lu Yibei thought for a moment, frowned and said, "I don't want to, but is there any other way?"
"Yes! How about a youth simplified version of the booster? You only need to krypton three years of lifespan, the price is beautiful!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
So this is where you were waiting for me? I always feel like there's some conspiracy?
But.
"Before using it, I still want to know the difference."
"There's not much difference, it's just that the AI is a bit dumber and has fewer skills."
"A bit?"
"Uh..." The girl avoided Lu Yibei's gaze and smiled awkwardly, "A lot."
"Oh, don't worry about it so much, you'll win anyway."
Lu Yibei, "..."
You're not right!
However...
She suddenly thought of Gu Qianqian being threatened by danger, thought of the seemingly normal infant in Gu Qianqian's arms, and also thought of Meng Raoze's dying Entrust, a look of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, minimalist version it is! When will it be implemented?"
"It's the youthful minimalist version," Miss corrected. "And, I already knew a coward like you would make this choice, so..."
Saying that, her lips curved slightly upwards, "It has already been implemented."
Don't just make decisions for others! Although I would indeed choose this... Lu Yibei muttered inwardly.
Just then, Miss flicked away the cigarette between her fingers that had burned out at some point, looked at Lu Yibei seriously, and said solemnly, "Lu Yibei, while there's still a little time, let's talk?"
"Okay, talk about what? International politics, new games, or White Little Flower's fanfiction?"
"White Little Flower's fanfiction, uh..." Miss blurted out, and halfway through her sentence, she spat fiercely at Lu Yibei, "Pah! Who wants to talk about this nonsense with you!?"
"I want to tell you, work hard and become stronger!"
"Master the power within you, get rid of your reliance on power leveling. I hope one day, you won't need to see me again."
"Huh?" Lu Yibei tilted her head blankly, momentarily not understanding why Miss was saying these things to her.
"Because, I also have many things to do! One day, I won't be able to respond to your calls." Miss explained with a smile. As her voice fell, the surroundings suddenly began to shake violently, a roar like a giant beast echoing in her ears.
The ground was tilting, the inverted world was restoring normal order.
Lu Yibei could no longer maintain her balance and slid towards the edge of the rooftop.
The sky was filled with rising wind and clouds, lead-colored dark clouds gathered into a funnel shape, as if something was falling.
"Come on! You motherfucker!" Miss shouted towards the sky.
The next moment, in her eyes, it was as if a golden sea was rising. When the tide submerged the last trace of dark red in her pupils, a long saber forged from what seemed like lava quietly appeared in her hand, and she slashed fiercely towards the sky.
With just a casual horizontal slash, the roar and shaking disappeared. The lead-colored dark clouds seemed to be ignited, turning into a fiery red, and dazzling light spots rapidly shuttled through the clouds...
...
Watching Miss fight the unknown enemy, a guess that Lu Yibei had since the first time she saw her surfaced in her mind, but she immediately suppressed it.
Every time she saw her, she seemed to be fighting something. What exactly was that thing?
That thing seemed very dangerous.
Would she...
Lu Yibei thought, and before her consciousness fell into silence, she shouted loudly at Miss, "Hey! Don't die!"
Miss turned her head to glance at Lu Yibei and sneered, "If the envoys of the underworld call, I won't go. If Qin Guang comes to hook me, what can he do to me! Die? How is that possible!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
Miss, don't jinx it!
Before I become stronger, I'm still counting on buying cheats from you!
Muttering in her heart, the light and shadows in front of her twisted and changed, and she fell into darkness.
...
Below the sinkhole.
Under the guidance of the system, Gu Qianqian ran far away in one go, until Lu Yibei's figure was just a black dot.
"That's about right, let's stop here!" the system's voice echoed in Gu Qianqian's mind. "Find a place to hide, watch carefully, and learn well. This is a rare opportunity to collect combat data on the Disaster."
"Understood!" Gu Qianqian responded. The next moment, Lu Yibei's low chanting of a spell echoed in the dark and deep cave.
"Golden palace, jade chambers, walls of iron..."
"Golden palace, jade chambers, walls of iron, dragon tail, phoenix wings, qilin hooves..."
"Golden palace, jade chambers, walls of iron, dragon tail, phoenix wings, qilin hooves, tortoise shell, light shines down, energy returns from the four directions..."
Listening to the three chants that seemed to be layered together, the system felt a surge of fear.
Triple chant!?
Damn it, how does the Disaster know the Night Watch's forbidden Spell number ninety-five?
Even if she devoured a Night Watch member, ordinary members can't learn this level of Spell!
In an instant, the system felt like it was undergoing the most difficult challenge in history. The difficulty level suddenly increased from the previous 【Hell Difficulty】 to 【No One Survives Difficulty】.
"Gu Qianqian, how about... you just cling to her thigh?" the system whispered.
Gu Qianqian withdrew her attention from the loudly crying baby in her arms and said blankly, "System, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
"Nothing," the system said.
Damn it, facing that guy, I actually flinched for a moment!
How could this be? I should believe in Gu Qianqian!
As the system was thinking, suddenly countless star-like shining white lights lit up in the dark cave. The roar of breaking air echoed, mixed with dragon roars and phoenix cries.
Thousands of beams of light, like pale meteors, shot out in all directions, transforming into the forms of four legendary spiritual beasts galloping forth, scattering without any pattern, bathing this place that had not seen light for thousands of years in brilliant white light.
Amidst a vast expanse of white light, the dark, shiny viscous substance on the ground, like blood vessels, evaporated and dissipated. The twisted, defiled monster let out a terrified wail, struggling with difficulty, frantically brandishing its claws and teeth... It wanted to escape, to tear apart the body that had been touched by the light.
And then.
A terrifying shriek then erupted a thousand times stronger, surging like a tide, the wicked sound spreading through the air, creating ripples.
"Oh no! Gu Qianqian, protect your head!" the system shouted.
"What?" Gu Qianqian was stunned for a moment.
Then.
The cave began to shake violently, tusk-like stalactites crashed down, hideous fissures spread across the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a sense of weightlessness struck.
Falling.
In the midst of chaos, the monster's body was torn apart by itself, half of it vanishing in the white light, and the other half rapidly retreating towards the deepest part of the sinkhole.
...
Edge of the sinkhole.
Snake-Head Hui Po fell to the bottom of the valley, seemingly having no effect on the villagers and Priests; the sacrificial ritual was still ongoing.
Strange and eerie prayers circled in the sky, and blood-red lanterns swayed in the wind.
"Roar—!"
Like an illusion, they heard a mournful cry that sounded like a giant dragon before its death.
Amidst the mournful cry, a shriek followed closely. Wildly dancing pale light shot up from the bottomless sinkhole, changing the day as if, dispelling the deep night and allowing these abandoned people to see the "sunlight" they had longed for for a long time.
Only...
Perhaps having grown accustomed to the darkness, when they truly saw the light, a hint of fear surprisingly arose in their hearts.
The "sunlight" was fierce. Wrapped in the pale light, the blood-colored lanterns in the villagers' hands seemed to be ignited, emitting bursts of foul-smelling thick smoke, and then exploded, splashing pus and blood everywhere, staining the ground red...
...
Spinning and tumbling, falling for who knows how long, Gu Qianqian's back hit the hard ground heavily. The brilliant white light in front of her had not yet dissipated, but countless golden stars were appearing.
Having been thrown around confusedly, she lay on the ground for a long time. Only when the surroundings fell into darkness again did she recover, rubbing her aching joints and getting up.
As soon as she got up, she heard the sound of light footsteps coming from a cave not far away.
Curiosity surging, Gu Qianqian held onto the wall and walked in the direction of the sound, then saw a strange scene.
She saw Lu Yibei staring blankly ahead, her head pressed against the stone wall, constantly running in place as if there was no wall in front of her at all.
Gu Qianqian, system, "..."
"System, what is she... doing?"
"..." The system didn't know what was happening for a moment. Anyway, it had never seen a Disaster behave in such a confusing way before. After a period of silence, it said, "I'm not very sure, but she must have some special purpose in doing this."
"Maybe there's something hidden behind that stone wall."
"Really?" Gu Qianqian responded doubtfully, tilting her head and resting her chin on her hand as she observed Lu Yibei for a while. She muttered to herself, "Why do I feel like she looks a bit like, like... she's stuck in the wall?"
System, "..."
Tsk, I see you completely don't understand! The real world isn't a game, and the Disaster isn't a dumb AI. How could she get stuck in a wall?
Too lazy to bother with you!
As the system was thinking, suddenly a muffled thud came from the front. Looking in that direction, it saw Lu Yibei had fallen to the ground, while her legs were still in a running posture, flailing in mid-air.
System, "..."
Uh...
How does it look like she's actually stuck in the wall?
