Chapter 684: Confrontation
The Evil Spirit Book revealed lines of small text:
"Your intention has been conveyed to that art."
"The art has been transferred."
"The art has concluded."
"The current secret passage is on the verge of collapse, please leave immediately."
Wu Xiaode sighed, walked into the water along the passage, and then swam ashore.
Although he obtained the second Pangu Card, things seemed to become even more complicated.
"The Evil Spirit mission was to destroy the God Pillar... but now we know the truth about it."
"——Destroying the God Pillar is useless."
He looked at the Evil Spirit Book.
Bronze letters quietly appeared on the Wall of Desires:
"The purpose of the Evil Spirit mission is to prevent the other side from making their wish come true."
"Since destroying the God Pillar cannot stop them from succeeding, the mission content will change."
"The current mission updates to:"
"Peerless Independence."
"A pre-mission to prevent ascension, a phased mission."
"Description: Many sequences assume Jiuyao is hunting you down, including the Holy Avatar Sarina. You must use your ever-increasing strength to smack them down, making them realize you are the ruler among mysterious lives."
"Every time you defeat them, you can gain a portion of Evil Spirit Power."
"Special Instructions:"
"After you leave the 'past era fragment,' the shielding power has disappeared."
"With the 'Hermit' sequence you loaded, the other side has regained the ability to discern your status, please speak out a declaration of severance from the sequences, and they will hear it."
Indeed, if you want to act, you should do it thoroughly.
After all, I suffered so much unfair treatment at the beginning.
Even after giving out information about the Pangu Card, Jiuyao sent a bunch of people to hunt me down.
I should have broken off with them!
Alright, what should I say?
Wu Xiaode suddenly saw a green light appear before him, condensing into small words:
"The Grey Mist Candle, the 'Hermit' is calling you."
——Finally, it's here!
"I won't go see her!"
Wu Xiaode shouted indignantly at the line of green words:
"You only use me and deal with me. From now on, I'll walk my own path, no longer caring about any of your false pretenses."
"Remember——"
"The river flows east for thirty years, west for thirty years, don't bully a poor youth!"
Declaration complete!
Perhaps because this sentence had a powerful added force, or perhaps they couldn't digest his attitude all at once, the Hermit Series temporarily made no further response.
But in the next second.
A figure emerged from the Void, lightly landing in front of him.
Sarina.
She glanced at Wu Xiaode and said:
"I actually had no knowledge of Jiuyao's plan to hunt you."
You know nothing!
Wu Xiaode sneered inwardly, but also knew why she was really here.
This line was a lie.
But this line was also a ladder ——
A ladder to avoid tearing each other apart.
The Holy Avatar personally chased after him to say a softening word, actually making the final choice.
——The Holy would never allow mysterious lives to escape their control.
If this conjecture holds, then next, Sarina has two choices.
One is to accept her explanation, and reintegrate herself;
Two is to erase herself after rejecting to serve the sequence.
Only these two choices!
——In this world, I've never hesitated to assume the worst in my enemies.
If that's the case——
Wu Xiaode's mind raced, and he said:
"I have no issues with the 'Hermit' sequence, nor with you, but if they clash with me again, can I fight back?"
Sarina was slightly stunned, then naturally said: "Of course you can."
Wu Xiaode nodded slightly.
——If my younger brother gets beaten up and even isn't allowed to fight back, how am I supposed to be the boss?
Might as well become a turtle!
So she would surely agree to this perfectly reasonable condition.
"Alright, I will remember what you said today."
Wu Xiaode said in a relaxed tone.
"You don't have to worry about that," Sarina further said, "You are a master under my command, if anyone bothers you again, just fight back, I'll back you up."
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Wu Xiaode said with a smile.
——Then don't blame me.
Next up, not only do I have to find the God Pillar Card Set, but also search for the Pangu Card Set, with countless opportunities for contention, endless conflicts, and clashes.
——Once you become human, you can't escape love and hate.
Being human means being in the martial world!
Just wait. As long as anyone bothers me in the future, I will surely wave the 'Hermit' flag to cause trouble.
Hope you can still hold the fort like today at that time.
"By the way, what happened with the other you earlier?"
Sarina asked.
"It was my reward for becoming a Netherworld Punishment Officer," Wu Xiaode said calmly, "It can tell fortunes, saying I'll face a deadly calamity soon, and it will sacrifice itself for me——"
"Your Excellency, this was my hard-earned mission reward, but was again taken away by Jiuyao." "Your Excellency, I actually just want to quickly enhance my strength and explore more Pangu Card Sets to claim them."
It's the truth.
Sarina showed slight regret.
Having one more avatar in the Death World is equivalent to having another life in future explorations.
But why is he so determined?
Sarina said, "You seem to have a strong desire for the Pangu Card Set?"
"I want to become the strongest among the mysterious." Wu Xiaode said.
Still the truth.
"But I'm afraid Jiuyao will keep pestering," Wu Xiaode, extremely rarely, complained, "Honestly, why can't we complete that God Pillar Card Set mission? Why chase me away from the legendary mission? Isn't this dragging the whole plan down?"
