Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Dream.

Strange, he knew he was dreaming at this moment.

A long black tunnel.

Wu Xiaode landed in the tunnel, immediately leaning against the wall, cautiously looking around.

The ground was a mess.

Broken magic wands, rusty swords, shattered battle armor, and even massive siege machines.

Everything was already ruined.

——But this is a dream!

How could there be such a place?

Wu Xiaode waited a few moments and found no movement around him, so he slowly bent down and picked up something from the ground.

It was a discarded backpack.

Inside the backpack, there was an empty water bottle, two clips, and a diary.

Diary?

Maybe there's some information in it!

Wu Xiaode's expression became serious as he carefully opened the diary, only to find a line written inside:

"Funny, who writes a diary every day?"

Every page after that was blank.

...Come on, if you don't write a diary, why bring a diary book?

Wu Xiaode silently placed the backpack back on the ground.

He waited a while longer.

There was no change or sound around.

The pitch-black passage seemed endless, leading to an unknown destination.

Wu Xiaode started walking, avoiding the various discarded items on the ground, taking steps forward.

Where exactly am I heading?

How should I proceed?

Completely unknown.

Wu Xiaode just kept walking forward, step by step.

He didn't know how long it had been.

He suddenly stopped, bent down, and picked up another item from the ground.

It was a blood-stained doll.

Its beautiful pink dress was stained black with blood, and its eyes were still smiling, as if unaware of what happened.

The Evil Spirit Book opened, revealing lines of bronze small characters:

"Your Destiny Skill 'Treasure Pickup' has successfully activated."

"The item currently picked up may be a treasure."

"——All laws of the realms, all living beings, saints and evil demons, are bound to fate."

Wu Xiaode carefully examined the doll.

"Element Detection" activated, allowing him to understand the use of the doll.

"Let me see... This should be the relic of a pure and holy maiden from the Holy Side... The use method is..."

He flipped the doll over and saw a coin slot at the back.

Wu Xiaode casually took out a silver coin and inserted it.

Suddenly, a resentful voice echoed from within the doll:

"Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious."

Wu Xiaode slapped his head, thinking he was being foolish, and quickly took out a gold coin and inserted it.

The resentful voice disappeared immediately.

Instead, a gentle and pure maiden's voice appeared:

"Traveler from afar, why have you entered this entirely sealed dream tunnel?"

Wu Xiaode straightforwardly replied:

"There is a U-level evil demon, and since I want to eliminate all evil demons born from its dreams, I am trying to enter its dream."

The doll softly said:

"Go back, it actually doesn't have any dream. Its dream has manifested as countless evil demons."

"Then what is this tunnel?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Dreams have no time; spaces can be freely jumped. Thus, this tunnel must be used to block any unexpected existence from reaching that place." The doll replied.

That place?

Wu Xiaode was surprised: "What do you mean by 'that place'?"

The doll said: "The U-level evil demon you know was once involved in a great battle, during which it——"

The voice abruptly stopped.

Wu Xiaode instantly became alert, looking around.

The tunnel remained quiet.

He didn't sense any danger.

——But the doll stopped speaking.

Wu Xiaode's mind raced as he finally realized, taking out another gold coin to insert into the back of the doll.

The doll immediately emitted a gentle female voice again:

"This U-level evil demon suffered severe blows during the war, almost entirely perishing, forced to hide in such secluded places as the 'Holy Realm of Ten Thousand Evil Reincarnations,' using its remaining strength to release the 'Ten Thousand Evil Sleepy Dreams' in an attempt to regain power."

"What? It was seriously injured?"

Wu Xiaode exclaimed in shock.

The doll remained silent.

Wu Xiaode continuously inserted two hundred gold coins.

"Welcome, esteemed individual!"

The doll's voice became increasingly soft and gentle: "Please, do not inquire further into its matters. Its dream is defensive, and should it detect you're probing for its secrets, the demons within its dream will frantically search for you, wanting to kill you."

"However, since this tunnel has a sealing nature, what you asked before isn't very severe, so there's no need to worry for now."

"Who constructed this tunnel?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"This is a Holy Side secret. Even if you insert 500 gold coins, I will never divulge it." The doll said in a solemn and serene tone.

Wu Xiaode remained silent, continuing to insert coins until about 1000 were inserted before stopping.

The dust and bloodstains on the doll vanished, with a faint Holy Light emerging behind her.

"May I ask how to address you?"

She inquired.

"Wu Xiaode." Wu Xiaode replied.

"Ah, I have your name here. You are a business partner with our gold medal sales consultant, and you've independently managed numerous precious metal businesses... quite profitable, welcome!" The doll said.

"Hello, I'd like to continue asking about what we discussed earlier." Wu Xiaode said.

"Where did we stop earlier?" The doll asked.

"This Evil Demon is very weak. Someone built this passage, and you wouldn't say anything further." Wu Xiaode said.

"No! You are our Holy Side's diamond VIP, I can tell you the truth." The doll hurriedly said.

The truth?

Wu Xiaode didn't respond but merely looked at her.

——So what you said earlier was just talk?

The doll gently bowed and said cautiously:

"Back then, there was an existence beyond all worlds that constructed this passage, allowing people to pass through it to the Holy Realm."

"That U-level Evil Demon was pretending to be severely injured and lying here."

"It deceived everyone, but it couldn't deceive my master—who is also the builder of this passage."

"Who is your master?" Wu Xiaode asked again.

The doll seemed a little hesitant.

Wu Xiaode pulled out a car-sized gold brick, placed the doll on it, and opened his hands:

"It's all yours, hurry and speak."

"My master is the Creator God, the maker of all things, the merciful father of all beings, the All-knowing and All-powerful God." The doll stated.

God.

Wu Xiaode was slightly shaken.

Does this being really exist?

"Where is God? Why doesn't he stop this U-level Evil Demon?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I am merely an incarnation of the faintest trace of Holy Light, and cannot fathom the intention of the great merciful father. I can only tell you—"

"That U-level Evil Demon is actually extremely powerful and discovered this passage."

"It pretended to be defeated, burying its head here, destroying all beings and things here, actually to confuse others."

"In fact, it is secretly finding ways to climb the road leading to the Holy Realm."

As the doll spoke, she collected the entire gold brick.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a few moments, then spoke:

"Why do you know this? Do others know?"

"Only after reaching this passage can one have the chance to ask me. As for why I know this—"

The doll smiled slightly: "The merciful father is All-knowing and All-powerful, no secret can be hidden from him."

"Hasn't the U-level Evil Demon tried to destroy the merciful father?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The merciful father has already self-destructed, so others can't destroy him." The doll immediately answered.

"Self-destructed? So ruthless?" Wu Xiaode exclaimed.

"Yes, no existence can deal with the merciful father because he is gone."

The doll said proudly.

Wu Xiaode glared at her.

——What's there to be proud of here.

Unless——

When the merciful father wants to live, he can come back to life.

Unexpectedly, the truth is like this.

What to do next?

Wu Xiaode thought of Sarina, then of the actions of the demons.

No.

Cannot let this U-level Evil Demon enter the Holy Realm.

"Is it in this passage? Why haven't I seen it?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

"Because—"

The doll's voice broke off again.

Wu Xiaode wiped the ring and released a pile of golden sand, burying the doll in it.

The golden sand disappeared entirely.

The doll floated in mid-air:

"The passage is like countless parallel worlds, each existence obtains a passage here—"

"The U-level Evil Demon is extremely cunning. It buried its body here, blocking the passage entrance.""So for countless years, no one else besides it has obtained a passage to the Holy Realm."

"But I have also arrived in the passage." Wu Xiaode said.

The doll laughed.

"It's busy climbing the passage, handing over all external affairs to other demons, believing that no being could reach this place."

"It doesn't know of your arrival at all—"

"But I know."

"I led you in your dreams, allowing you to also obtain such a passage."

Speaking of this, the doll flew up into the air and lightly bowed towards Wu Xiaode.

Her tone projected an unprecedented solemnity:

"Begin."

"Between you and the U-level Evil Demon, only one can pass through this passage to reach the true Holy Realm."

As the words fell.

The Evil Spirit Book opened beside Wu Xiaode, displaying lines of bronze small characters:

"The merciful father's messenger has acknowledged you."

"Now you can enter this extremely secret passage to complete a sacred mission like no other ever has—"

"The pilgrimage road."
