Free Web NovelDespair often drives people mad.
On the run, Hu Chuan, who was intercepted by Lu Yibei, struck by the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu, lost control of his body, and was almost beheaded by a sword, could be considered to have fallen into despair.
Therefore, his actions became frantic; he completely merged his body with the Power of the proxy, abandoning his existence as a "person."
"You know all secrets, because you peer, from the wind, from the water, from every molecule, nothing can be hidden, nothing can be obscured, nothing can be avoided, flesh and blood perish, but you will live forever..."
"Your loyal servant, willing to meet with this body, offering thousands of bodies as sacrifice, calling for you to awaken..."
Hu Chuan sealed off his own consciousness, repeatedly calling out to that unfathomable "great" existence.
Many years ago, when Zhang Shuo tormented him to the point of wishing he were dead, he begged for salvation every moment.
Anything was fine, whether it was a human, a urban legend, or something else, a more mysterious, unknown, dangerous existence, as long as it could lead him out of this sea of suffering.
Then, he heard a faint, ethereal voice.
That whisper, seemingly from a high-dimensional being, appearing at such a time, was undoubtedly his last straw; he seized the opportunity without hesitation, responding loudly to the whisper.
"..."
Human power has its limits; choosing to give up at the right time and embracing that Adult is the truth... Hu Chuan thought.
He was such a person.
He wouldn't struggle, wouldn't resist, wouldn't try to change the situation with his own strength; perhaps he would make a symbolic effort occasionally, but only to prove to others, "Look, I tried, but it really didn't work!" to make himself feel justified.
Like a puddle of filthy, murky stagnant water covered in oil slicks, constantly decaying in a corner, emitting a foul stench; even a breeze might stir up a few ripples, but it would quickly return to brewing ugliness.
Compared to those who maliciously "slander" and assign negative meanings to objects, thus promoting the birth of Yagn Nie, Yagn Nie instinctively prefers people like Hu Chuan who are engrossed in material desires, relying excessively on "objects" to the point of abandoning their own existence.
It is precisely because of such people that the existence of Yagn Nie is confirmed.
Just like how people who commit bloody violence happen to have watched a certain movie or played a certain game, confirming for others who forcefully assign negative meanings to that movie or game.
Thus, under Hu Chuan's call, the sleeping Yagn Nie began to stir, bestowing blessings upon its loyal followers.
Da Chunyang Palace, Miao Frontier Gu Village, Tulip Club, Taipei City where the Bamboo Forest Society is located...
In various areas eroded by Yagn Nie's Power, tens of thousands of people's eyes gradually dimmed, unconsciously chanting softly along with Hu Chuan, calling out towards dawn, towards night, towards the truth that does not exist in this world.
Calling out to the Calamity sleeping in chaos, disturbing its dream, causing it to gradually awaken.
Disaster, erupt!

In a certain city, deep within an obscure, forgotten corner, inside the Liao Zhai Tavern.
After seeing off the leaders of the three factions invited today, Lord Bing remained here alone, sitting by the window, swirling his wine glass, sipping slowly and savoring.
Looking at this guest who lingered, Boss Hu's face showed a hint of displeasure; he took the bill and placed it in front of him, subtly issuing an order to leave.
"Here! This is today's bill. Since the matter is settled, pay up and scram. Why are you still hanging around?"
Lord Bing glanced at Boss Hu, slightly frowned, and said calmly, "The matter isn't finished yet. Relying solely on the leaders of those civilian factions might lead to errors. To be safe, I have to stay here."
The areas where those civilian factions are located are all within the Eastern Hemisphere, within the operating range of the Liao Zhai Tavern. If needed, he could reach the scene immediately for support through the Liao Zhai Tavern.
"Good grief, are you trying to glitch me here?" Boss Hu said, hands on his hips, puffing with anger.
"..." Lord Bing looked at Boss Hu, pondered for a few seconds, then looked down at the small dishes and the unfinished fine wine on the table, and said lightly, "The wine isn't finished yet."
Hearing this, Boss Hu rolled his eyes, speechless for a moment.
After all, he ran a business, and he really had no way to deal with Lord Bing's open and justified hooliganism.
"Buzz buzz—buzz buzz—!"
On the table, the jade baogang cang owl badge suddenly began to vibrate.
The pale yellow nectar in the wine glass rippled slightly.
Lord Bing lightly stroked the baogang cang owl badge with his finger, quietly listened to the message from the other end, slightly frowned, and said calmly, "I understand, I'll be there." freēwebnovel.com
The message from the baogang cang owl badge, in summary, was only one sentence—Taipei City has fallen, requesting support!
Then.
He picked up the wine glass, drained it, stood up, and cupped his hands towards Boss Hu, who was casting a resentful look at him from not far away, "Boss Hu, don't clear my food and drink, I'll be right back."
Having said that, he quickly walked out of the Liao Zhai Tavern and proceeded along the narrow, cramped alley.
A faint glow the color of cold iron emerged from behind him.
【Hybrid Spirit Mark · Hundred Generals Chart】, activated!
The faint glow spread, gradually covering his entire body, outlining the contours of iron armor, and gradually solidifying.
The iron armor clung to his face, his aura fierce.
A Fangtian Huaji with a flowing red tassel quietly appeared in his hand. freewebnoveℓ.com
As he walked forward, faint, powerful drumbeats and high-pitched suona sounds echoed, playing a tune of "Entering the Battle Array."
"..." Looking at Lord Bing's receding figure, Boss Hu raised his hand, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
It wasn't until the music in the alley faded that he silently sighed, walked over to the table Lord Bing had used, and skillfully warmed the wine.

Taipei City, Shilin Night Market.
The night market, originally as lively as Bu Ye Street, was in utter chaos.
Amidst the piercing sirens, panic and screams erupted everywhere; in the clamor, constant trampling and crowding occurred.
Countless people shouted frantically, their voices overlapping, describing a terrifying urban legend never heard before.
At the end of the chaotic night market, numerous corpses with bodies fused with objects lay scattered on the ground; on their bodies, there was almost always a gruesome wound covered in a thin layer of frost.
Pale, viscous liquid splattered everywhere, staining the water of the nearby artificial fountain white.
Two figures moved at high speed, appearing and disappearing between buildings, constantly meeting, separating, meeting, the piercing sound of metal clashing incessantly.
After a long while, the two figures separated, facing each other with drawn swords.
"Hoo—hoo—!" The young man with disheveled clothes and covered in blood was breathing heavily and deeply.
This person was precisely the young master of the Bamboo Forest Society.
He held a Tang Heng Dao longer than his height, gazing gloomily at the old man facing him.
"Father... hoo hoo, I didn't expect that the matter of the brothers encountering that terrifying urban legend and finally being corrupted [N O V E L I G H T] by it was actually tacitly approved by you..."
That's right, the old man the young master of the Bamboo Forest Society was confronting was his father, the current leader of the Bamboo Forest Society.
Earlier, after returning from the appointment, His Excellency the Young Master immediately found his father and told him everything he had learned from Lord Bing, but what he got in return was unexpected house arrest.
It wasn't until the disaster erupted that he found an opportunity to fight his way out from where he was held under house arrest.
Then...
He saw the scene of leading a group of gang members gathered together, calling out to the dangerous existence Lord Bing had mentioned.
"I don't understand why you've become like this."
"Don't understand?" The old man said in a deep voice, "For so many years, the gang's development has been stuck in a bottleneck. To continue growing, we can only rely on this power! It was almost successful..."
The old man held a Tang Heng Dao similar to His Excellency the Young Master's; pale, viscous material writhed and rolled on the handle, gradually merging with his arm.
On that aged face, inhuman, metallic-colored spots gradually appeared.
"..." His Excellency the Young Master was silent for two seconds, then said seriously, "Yes, I don't understand... But Father, what I do know is that what you are doing now goes against the tenets that the Bamboo Forest Society has upheld for generations."
"I've already informed the Night Watch of the situation here, you won't succeed!"
"You..." The old man was startled for a moment, then said coldly, "Undermining from within? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"..." His Excellency the Young Master pondered for two seconds and said calmly, "Knowing death and facing it is courage!"
Benevolence, Righteousness, and Courage are the three core tenets of the Bamboo Forest Society.
"Hmph! I know these tenets better than you!" The old man sneered, "Can the Night Watch be relied upon? It's already too late, the proxy sage has issued the call, that Adult is awakening..."
As his words fell, a loud bang came from a tall building in the distance.
"Boom—!"
Amidst the loud bang, a pillar of chaotic light shot into the sky; the roof of the tall building was broken, and shattered glass facade and concrete debris were thrown into the sky, then scattered and fell.
The chaotic light spread everywhere, covering the entire Shilin Night Market; a chilling buzzing sound rose all around.
In an instant, the people struggling and wailing in the night market froze in place as if petrified; accompanied by rustling sounds, their bodies were devoured by objects.
Countless "objects" became restless, gnashing teeth and sucking blood, ready to hunt humans.
"It's a blessing, the blessing has descended!" Cries like this rang out among the crowd.
Just then, a figure clad in iron armor, holding a Fangtian Huaji with a red tassel, appeared above the Shilin Night Market.
Accompanied by a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation filled with a strong aura of killing spreading out, something behind that figure seemed to shatter; light and shadow rotated, twisted, scattered, and then reassembled.
In a trance, it seemed as if several figures wearing gold crowns, adorned with floral battle robes, clad in Tangni armor, and belted with lion-headed treasure belts appeared behind him, raising their longbows in hand, and from a great distance, drew their bows and shot arrows towards that pillar of chaotic light!
Hundred Generals Chart Nine · Fengxian Shoots the Huaji!
Accompanied by the twang of the bowstring, a mournful shriek erupted; a golden light like a meteor streaked across the night sky, as if tearing a rift in the firmament.
The next moment, the world shook violently, and scorching light spread in all directions.
----
Within that chaotic space constructed by the Yagn Nie God Kingdom.
Zhang Huainan, who was struggling to hold on and constantly trying to find a solution, suddenly felt the space vibrate violently.
Immediately after, a brilliant golden light, as if flying from the Void, pierced through the darkness and collided with a constantly wriggling limb extending from the Code F Monster, causing violent tremors.
That was... Lord Bing's young friend's arrow? Zhang Huainan slightly frowned.
Immediately after, as Lord Bing's heaven-shattering arrow that pierced through reality and the God Kingdom flew in, he briefly sensed the outside world's aura.
Originally, having come here with the help of Zixiao Platform, he had temporarily lost contact with the outside world and was worried about how to transmit the news that someone was calling for the Code F Monster to awaken, but now, the opportunity had arrived!
With a thought, he seized the brief moment when the Yagn Nie God Kingdom was torn open to transmit a message to the outside world.
He contacted Nameless Book, Qingxia Zi, the Elders of Da Chunyang Palace, and that little Paper Cicada Immortal...
