I Don't Agree to the Terms

"Mr. Gu, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Tang Wen saw that Gu Shanhai entered his room without even knocking, carrying a look of urgency.

"It's very important. The transformation of the moon might have completed, all the personnel stationed on the moon from the thirteen offices are dead."

"I need your help. If this matter can't be stopped, it could very well become the second golden crow incident."

Gu Shanhai's tone was solemn.

These two statements made Tang Wen's original smile freeze, and then he said, "Please instruct me, Mr. Gu. As long as Tang Wen can manage it, I will face death without hesitation!"

He still couldn't forget the horror of the golden crow incident.

"I want you to eat the second moon," Gu Shanhai stated straightforwardly, not hiding anything.

After hearing this, Tang Wen nodded, "No problem Mr. Gu, should we go to the moon right now?"

Tang Wen clearly did not understand the meaning intended by Gu Shanhai, thinking it was about physically consuming the moon.

"No no no, you misunderstood me. I want you to eat the concept of the second moon, not literally eat the moon," Gu Shanhai quickly tried to clarify his idea to Tang Wen.

However, the more he listened, the more Tang Wen's brows furrowed.

"Mr. Gu, this absurd method of eating, can it really succeed?" Tang Wen was puzzled. Could he really consume such things?

"Whether it can succeed depends on you. If you believe in yourself, then it certainly can be successful. After all, you're capable of eating anything, so why not the concept of the second moon?" Gu Shanhai encouraged him.

Tang Wen fell silent for a moment, then said, "Then I will try it. If it doesn't work..."

"There's no such thing as it not working. You're not just carrying the burden for yourself, but also for your family, friends, and the whole dynasty. Since the archer is no longer here, it must be you. We are all unable to solve this problem," Gu Shanhai interrupted Tang Wen with a serious tone.

At these words, Tang Wen's pressure surged immensely, and cold sweat formed on his forehead.

It wasn't just for some grand righteousness; even just for his family alone, he had to fight desperately.

Protection? That wouldn't be so easy. Even the thirteen offices couldn't hold back, and this was similar to a world-ending anomaly, like that of the golden crow world.

Yes, in Tang Wen's eyes, this was already considered a world-ending event.

"What do I need to do!" Tang Wen no longer had words like 'try' and 'do my best'. Now for him, those words didn't exist. It was either win and be overjoyed or lose and see the dynasty destroyed, or even humanity eradicated. Even if he himself wouldn't die, he would live a life filled with regret and listlessness.

"Since it's a concept, you need to..." Gu Shanhai quickly shared some techniques with Tang Wen for him to refer to.

Tang Wen didn't dare miss a single word, remembering everything seriously in his mind.

"Lastly, and most importantly, remember, the second moon you're swallowing is the one we see, not any other moon, understand?" Gu Shanhai gave him one final instruction.

This world was a structure combined with the universe and dimensions, hence there were other moons out there, since the moon itself was a satellite, and some planets definitely had multiple moons. Without limiting the relevant concept, there was a risk that all second moons could be consumed.

It might not kill him, but it could prevent Tang Wen from eating anything else for a very long time, at least a few hundred years.

"Understood, but if I eat a moon, wouldn't I..."

"You'd be too full, at least you wouldn't have to worry about being hungry for a while," Gu Shanhai interjected before he could finish, adding quickly.

This was a multiple gain situation for Tang Wen.

"So when do we start?" Tang Wen's expression became serious. This matter for him was all beneficial, no downsides.

He wasn't worried about Gu Shanhai deceiving him, in his eyes, even wanting to use him as a research subject was addressed directly; what benefit would there be in deceiving him.

"As soon as you are ready, we can start anytime," Gu Shanhai naturally had no issues, it was Tang Wen who would be consuming the moon, not him.

"Good, let's start as soon as possible then," Tang Wen didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

"Excellent, now follow the method I taught you earlier and begin," Gu Shanhai directed him towards the moon.

Tang Wen also looked at that glowing moon, and at this moment, he saw the double image on the moon begin to clarify.

This also proved that Gu Shanhai had not lied.

He took a deep breath, cleared all thoughts from his mind, then opened his mouth wide, and started consuming the concept of the moon's second moon.

The next moment, Gu Shanhai saw a large chunk suddenly missing from the shadow behind the moon.

"I've...eaten it!" Tang Wen spoke with some difficulty, but his tone couldn't contain his excitement.

"Good, it all depends on you now," Gu Shanhai also heaved a sigh of relief.

But he noticed a vast change in Tang Wen's body; white fur began to grow on his skin bit by bit, and his body started to transform towards some kind of beast.

'The transformation has begun.' Gu Shanhai understood in his heart that after acquiring the catalyst, Tang Wen had begun his shift from a semi-anomaly to a true anomaly.
