Free Web NovelChapter 1239: Chapter 54: Farewell
Su Xiao took out several materials from the Storage Space. He first used a kind of powder to outline a formation diagram; since Su Xiao often inscribed Alchemy Array Diagrams, the formation he drew was extremely precise.
The Time-space coin was placed at the center of the diagram, the Power of Space-time surged, and sensing this fluctuation, Reed’s expression changed slightly.
Su Xiao had of course not self-studied Space Formation Diagrams, nor had he learned them from alchemy. The reason he knew how to set up this formation was because a Succubus had taught him. That Succubus was named Lilymu, whom Su Xiao had met in the Void Colosseum; she was one of the few allies of the Shadow of Annihilation Law.
Lilymu’s skill at laying down Space Formation Diagrams wasn’t anything special, so one could easily imagine Su Xiao’s level with them. Fortunately Reed’s eyesight was limited; he only felt this thing was very mysterious, and didn’t sense any danger.
What Reed didn’t know was that if he could sense danger from the Space Formation Diagram, that would mean this Space Formation Diagram was about to collapse.
Vmm～
The Power of Space-time surged, blowing Su Xiao’s black hair upward. He half-squatted in place without moving an inch, while Reed, Bubu Wang, A Mu, Gos and the others all retreated several steps.
It wasn’t that Su Xiao was stronger than Reed, but that he was already used to spatial fluctuations; he often pierced through space.
Reed personally felt the might of space. Looking at Su Xiao half-squatting there, unmoving, Reed nodded inwardly. Just from this alone, he could tell Su Xiao wasn’t bragging.
Crack, crack...
A pitch-black fissure appeared in the air, light and shadow twisted within the crack.
"Is it ready?"
Reed looked at the twisted space, the corner of his eye twitching.
"Of course not. I haven’t set the coordinates yet."
Su Xiao had mastered two Void coordinates in total: one was the Demon Castle, the other was the Sage Tree’s Nest. If Reed were Teleported to either of those places, he’d be in for a world of hurt.
After hesitating a moment, Su Xiao chose the Demon Castle as the coordinate. Based on his judgment, Reed basically couldn’t reach the Demon Castle, nor would he see that bitch Alice.
"Coordinates confirmed."
After Su Xiao set the coordinates, the inside of the Spatial Rift noticeably stabilized. As far as Su Xiao himself was concerned, he definitely wouldn’t enter this thing. Definitely not.
"The Stone of Magic is..."
Reed spoke in a low voice.
"That’s the Stone of Magic?"
"Yeah, that’s the Stone of Magic."
Reed peered into the Spatial Rift. He didn’t sense any danger in this rift; if there were even the slightest hint of danger, he wouldn’t go into this Spatial Rift.
After hesitating a moment, Reed looked over at Bubu Wang: "As collateral, it has to go in with me."
Ka～
Su Xiao pressed one hand onto the Space Formation Diagram, and the Spatial Rift began to distort.
"I’m sending you away only because I don’t want you interfering with me entering the tomb."
Su Xiao’s eyelids drooped, those cold eyes staring at Reed.
"Whether there’s danger inside, you should be able to sense it. If you want to keep being trapped here, then we’ll go down together."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Reed picked up the hammer on the Forging Platform. He approached the Spatial Rift, seemingly intending to toss the hammer in first to test whether there was danger inside.
Seeing Reed’s movement, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. His hand pressed on the Space Formation Diagram clenched slightly, and the Space Formation Diagram was suddenly activated.
A powerful suction erupted inside the Spatial Rift.
"Run! The Power of Space-time is out of control!"
Su Xiao shouted, ’kindly’ reminding Reed to retreat, but it was already too late.
"What’s going on?!"
Reed’s body leaned backward; he was being pulled by the suction of the Spatial Rift. As long as he could get out of the 3-meter range around the rift, that powerful suction wouldn’t be able to do anything to him; the range of this suction wasn’t large.
But right now Reed couldn’t move an inch. The arm holding the hammer had already been pulled into the Spatial Rift. Although the situation was urgent, Reed was amazed to discover that the inside of the rift wasn’t dangerous. It gave him a very vast feeling; it should be leading to some Vast Land.
"There’s something on you interfering with the Space Formation Diagram, so the diagram activated on its own."
Su Xiao pressed one hand on the Space Formation Diagram, rapidly activating it. As for the diagram being interfered with by some unknown object, that was completely an excuse he’d made up on the spot. That way, even if Reed really managed to break free of the rift’s suction, the two sides wouldn’t immediately turn hostile—this was just an ’accident’, nothing Su Xiao could do.
"Is this thing stable? I don’t sense any danger."
Reed had been flustered at first, but quickly calmed down.
"Relax, it’s very stable. You already sensed it yourself, didn’t you." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Su Xiao tapped the Time-space coin with his finger, releasing a small portion of the Power of Space-time.
"Then let’s keep going."
Reed no longer tried to break free outward, but instead lunged into the Spatial Rift. There was a trace of Madness in his eyes, like a prisoner about to walk out of prison. In fact, he simply couldn’t break free of the pull of the Power of Space; the fact that he wasn’t torn apart already showed how Sturdy his body was.
Reed’s body gradually sank into the Spatial Rift. All of a sudden, he felt something appear on the other side of space—no, it was some unknown existence, one that filled him with horror.
"This is..."
Veins bulged on Reed’s face as he struggled desperately to claw his way out of the rift.
"You shameless..."
Whoosh～
Reed was sucked into the Spatial Rift. Su Xiao immediately picked up the Time-space coin and smashed the Space Formation Diagram with a punch.
Bubu Wang watched the vanished Reed, its gaze seemingly saying: "Look how excited the kid got, he even started cursing."
Su Xiao put away the Time-space coin and looked at the Spatial Rift that was gradually fading.
"Reed, welcome to... Reincarnation Paradise."
Did Reed go to the Void? Not a chance. Based on Su Xiao’s judgment, there was a small chance Reed would die inside the rift, but a much greater chance that he’d be forcibly branded by Reincarnation Paradise.
Reincarnation Paradise would recruit story characters; Su Xiao had known this for a long time. After seeing Reed’s forging skills, Su Xiao knew Reincarnation Paradise wouldn’t turn Reed down. As for Reed becoming a Contractor or Hunter or something like that, that was basically impossible.
Su Xiao had previously tried to contact Reincarnation Paradise using his Reincarnation Mark, but Reincarnation Paradise didn’t respond. However, after Su Xiao described his idea, Reincarnation Paradise displayed a certain clause to him.
According to that clause, Reed would obtain a status similar to a Worker.
First of all, Su Xiao had provided the Power of Space-time. In other words, Reincarnation Paradise could Teleport Reed away and brand him at no cost.
Under normal procedure, Reed indeed could have reached the Demon Castle, since that was the coordinate Su Xiao had set. But that required going through a process. Because Su Xiao had close ties with Reincarnation Paradise, Reed would first have to break through Reincarnation Paradise’s defensive line before he could enter the Void.
Would Reincarnation Paradise let him pass so easily? Of course not. Su Xiao had provided the Power of Space-time; Reincarnation Paradise only needed to handle receiving Reed.
This was like mailing a package: Su Xiao paid the postage. If he was point A, then Reincarnation Paradise was point B, and the Void was point C. Su Xiao mailed Reed from A toward C, and B, Reincarnation Paradise, was a necessary transfer station along the way.
From Reed’s earlier reaction, his package had been intercepted at B by Reincarnation Paradise, and would never reach C. The recipient at C, Alice, might be a bit dumbfounded, but she probably wouldn’t dare to "file a complaint or leave a bad review."

"There’s actually... a reward."
Su Xiao rubbed his chin. He suddenly had the feeling that he’d sold Reed to Reincarnation Paradise, and was now happily counting the money.
