Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Behind the wooden table.

A crocodile man wearing gold-rimmed glasses slowly raised his head, looking at "Liu Ping."

"Guest, please wait a moment, checking into the hotel requires registering your information."

He politely snapped his fingers.

The cobra standing on the table turned its head, glanced at "Liu Ping," and quickly said:

"Received a system-wide notification this morning."

"Guests with real names 'Liu Ping,' 'Gu Qingshan,' and 'Wu Xiaode' must pay cash upfront to check in."

"Since you are 'Liu Ping,' please pay for your accommodation first, then complete the check-in procedures."

"Liu Ping" was taken aback and couldn't help but say: "Why can others stay before paying? This is unfair!"

The crocodile man and the cobra said in unison:

"Watch your words and actions, the absolutely just Father is watching you from above."

"However," the crocodile man took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, "Father has prepared a fifty-percent discount coupon for you, an unprecedented discount that no one has ever enjoyed, why don't you quickly pay up?"

"Is a fifty-percent coupon rare?" "Liu Ping" couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, usually it's a 99% discount, this is the one and only fifty-percent coupon in history." The crocodile man and the cobra said in unison.

"Is this true?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"It's true! This is absolutely the only fifty-percent coupon!" The crocodile man emphasized.

"Liu Ping" hesitated slightly but then made a decision.

Pop.

With a light sound, "Liu Ping" disappeared, Wu Xiaode appeared.

The fifty-percent coupon is valid!

Moreover, the Father gave such a high discount, surely hoping for him to stay here.

—This existence is all-knowing and all-powerful, surely has his reasons.

He wouldn't give out a fifty-percent coupon without a major reason!

"Please help me check in." Wu Xiaode said.

"What room type do you choose?" the crocodile man asked.

"The cheapest one—Cultivation Hut." Wu Xiaode said.

"Please pay gold, originally required eighty percent of your gold, now half, only forty percent." The crocodile man said.

Wu Xiaode quietly paid.

"Guest, here's the key, head to the fifth room on the left in the basement." The crocodile man pointed in a direction.

Wu Xiaode took the key, just about to head to the basement when he saw another guest walking in through the inn door.

It was a woman entirely covered in gold-scaled armor.

The moment she appeared, the crocodile man suddenly jumped from behind the counter, directly blocking Wu Xiaode.

"Quickly go!"

The crocodile man whispered urgently.

At the same time, a strand of Holy Light suddenly appeared in the lobby, transforming directly into an angel with a halo floating above.

As soon as the angel appeared, they immediately shouted: "The Father's gaze is upon us!"

Wu Xiaode barely had the chance to assess the situation when two white-robed women seized him swiftly down the steps into the basement.

"Please follow me."

One of the women said.

They brought Wu Xiaode to a door.

Click.

The door automatically opened.

"You can enjoy safe twenty-four hours." One of the women smiled and said.

Wu Xiaode said: "Thank you, but just now that woman was—"

"Go in, rest, you will know later." The other woman interrupted him.

"...Alright." Wu Xiaode said.

He could sense that they were actually protecting him.

So he didn't want to put them in a difficult position.

Then finally rest here.

He stepped through the doorway.

Bang!

The door immediately locked tightly shut.

The two women standing at the door suddenly erupted in dazzling Holy Light, growing wings together.

— turned out to be two angels!

"He's in." One female angel said quietly.

"Begin altering the time-space immediately, confusing all the rooms." The other female angel said.

"Yes."

Both angels simultaneously cast a magical skill on the door.

A heavy movement sound came from behind the door.

—The room moved away from the door, retracting underground, destination unknown.

The two female angels suddenly both looked down the corridor.

Unbeknownst to them, that woman covered completely in gold scales had already appeared at the end of the corridor.

She watched the two angels, opening her palm.

In her palm lay a beating heart.

"Angel... if you do not wish to fall into eternal torment, tell me his room number."

The woman spoke.

Both angels' faces turned pale.

But in the next instant, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.

Liu Ping!

"Thanks for your cover earlier, now quickly leave, I'll hold her off for a while." Liu Ping said with a smile.

The golden-armored woman seemed about to do something but suddenly trembled.

A long sword pierced through her chest.

Gu Qingshan stood behind her, holding the sword, turned to glance at the lobby outside.

"You killed someone from the inn... forgive my ignorance, can you just kill anyone here?"

The golden-armored woman screamed, directly twisting her body, grabbing Gu Qingshan's throat.

"No, you're not Doomsday; his power wouldn't be so weak."

The woman said.

"But you still didn't dodge his sword trick." Gu Qingshan said with a smile.

He suddenly turned into an illusory shadow, disappearing.

—Wu Xiaode's Three Divine Artifacts!

It turns out that before Gu Qingshan and Liu Ping returned to the world, he had already cloned them using the Three Divine Artifacts.

Although the power of the clones was significantly reduced, at least they were usable!

The armored woman yanked out the long sword piercing her body and threw it on the ground. She turned back to look down the corridor once more.

Where were the angels in the corridor?

"Damn it..."

The armored woman let out a short scream and strode out, following the trail of blood and corpses out of the inn.

Outside the inn, the plains had already turned into a land of writhing flesh, with all sorts of strange organs embedded in the flesh, slowly growing.

Countless evil entities filled the land and sky.

——This place had already been completely sealed off.

What a pity——

The armored woman spoke, "He got away."

Elsewhere.

Wu Xiaode stepped into a room, suddenly seeing a familiar scene all around him.

At the breakfast stall beside the street.

Big Banana was eating breakfast.

"Boss, you're back?"

Big Banana saw him from afar and greeted him directly.

Wu Xiaode stood dazed.

Big Banana stood up and explained, "Crooked Tooth is watching over Miss Shen, so I had breakfast and brought some back for him as well—Boss, another bowl of beef noodles, rice wine, eggs—come have breakfast, boss."

Wu Xiaode slowly walked forward and sat down opposite Big Banana.

Everything around him was undeniably real.

Since practicing the "All-Dimensional Vertical Image," he had developed a sense of all dimensions and could feel that this world was real.

So, he was back in the Kunlun Inner World.

A voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Eat the noodles, you haven't eaten in a while. I'll explain slowly to you."

"This voice... are you Satan?" Wu Xiaode asked immediately.

"That's right, I'm actually here to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Wu Xiaode asked while sitting opposite Big Banana, waiting for the beef noodles and rice wine to be served. He picked up chopsticks himself.

"Do you think evil demons are easy to deal with?" Satan asked.

"...Gu Qingshan seemed to handle them with ease," Wu Xiaode replied.

"Earlier when you reached the battlefield, three troublemakers arrived in total. The U-level evil demon only spoke one sentence, and the other two retreated. Now, please answer this question again," Satan said.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment and shrugged:

"Are you saying that they have considerable power on the battlefield?"

Satan's voice sounded again:

"Before Sarina entered the Holy Realm, due to extreme unwillingness, she searched all worlds and universes, eventually finding a dead leaf in the remote 'Void Turbulence.'"

"Your world is hidden inside that dead leaf."

"The evil demons are also hiding there, trying to climb the Holy Pillar with all their might."

Wu Xiaode suddenly realized something.

Sarina was about to attain sainthood and still felt discontent.

Why?

Moreover——

How could the evil demons hide and climb the Holy Pillar by themselves?

The Heaven's dolls guided him to obtain a Holy Pillar.

That was completely benevolent help from a fatherly figure.

Unfortunately, it was replaced by the evil demons as their own.

If it weren't for destroying those two Holy Pillars at the last moment...

Satan's voice sounded again:

"Sarina tried everything to stop the demons' plan, but fortunately, as she was leaving, your actions caused the demons to lose that Holy Pillar."

"She finally saw hope, which is why she left that combatant qualification for you."

Wu Xiaode asked puzzled: "We clearly have Gu Qingshan and Liu Ping, why not directly give them the qualification?"

"Liu Ping was the most hopeful combatant for sainthood, but he was besieged by over a hundred evil-transformed combatants, and at the last moment preferred to give up his place rather than ally with the demons!"

"Give up?" Wu Xiaode pressed further.

"Yes, he used all means to give his place to Sarina."

"——He's someone who holds grudges. After giving up the combatant role, he immediately reached your world, seeking the demons' weakness along the way."

"As a result, although the demons couldn't gain qualification for the Holy Realm, Liu Ping also lost his combatant qualification and could only appear as support."

"Alright, he can only be a helper," Wu Xiaode spread his hands, "What about Gu Qingshan then?"

Satan emphasized with a solemn tone:

"The Holy Realm is the 'Tao' of the Multi-universe. All existences are on the battlefield to obtain the 'Tao.'

"The demons have been transforming all combatants into evil forms. Thus, whoever gains qualification for the Holy Realm equates to the demons gaining qualification."

"They want to become the ultimate truth, the 'Tao' admired by all existences!

"The battlefield judges and rules can only barely block the demons, barely maintain the situation."

"The situation is so critical, and if another powerful enough Doomsday entered the battlefield as a combatant——"

"If he allied with the demons, all would be lost."

"We've calculated countless times; if Doomsday allied with the demons, the Holy Realm would indeed become the demons' playground."

"The demons would dominate all worlds, all times and spaces, all dimensions."

"So Gu Qingshan cannot be a combatant; at most, he can only be a helper."

"You don't trust Gu Qingshan?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Satan emphasized:

"This has nothing to do with trust——if Doomsday and the demons united, the chance of reversing the situation in the heavens and all worlds is zero, so we must establish an insurance policy, do you understand?"

Wu Xiaode nodded thoughtfully.

From their perspective, it's understandable.

After all, the consequences are terrifying.

"So after Sarina's selection, I represented the world in combat," Wu Xiaode said.

"Yes, we've been observing you."

"Firstly, you've already been recognized by the Lost Blade of the Holy Realm and won't undergo evil transformation—this is the most crucial point, followed by Sarina's designation," Satan said.

"I roughly understand the situation," Wu Xiaode picked up some noodles with his chopsticks, "Is there anything else to say?"

"You only have one day to rest in this world, make sure to seize this opportunity."

"The demons are already hunting you."

"Make sure to take this one day to do something!"

Satan's voice gradually faded away.
