I Don't Agree to the Terms

"Damn, why is there such a commotion between these two?"

Gu Shanhai turned on the TV and watched the latest report, which mentioned that a terrorist had failed an attack and had gone into hiding.

What's more, it also reported that the terrorist had injured Xiao Yongsheng, a well-known entrepreneur, philanthropist, federal honorary councilor, and founder of Eternal Life Technology, which had caused a great shock throughout the Federation.

After all, terrorist attacks are quite frequent for a big Federation like ours, but this time, a VIP was targeted, not just some low-level figures, so naturally, it was heavily publicized.

Even the top senators of the Federation had issued severe condemnations and had deployed a massive amount of armed forces to investigate in Yunxing City, even sealing off all exits, all to capture this fugitive terrorist.

"But speaking of which, it's impossible for the Transcendent to lose, with his strength he could easily destroy the entire Federation."

Gu Shanhai was also puzzled. The energy level of this world was just too low. Without the event of the "disappearance of the concept of death," it would be even lower than the freshly opened Holy Federation, lagging far behind in technology.

So even if heavy artillery was deployed in Yunxing City to suppress him, the Transcendent wouldn't be injured and could easily kill Xiao Yongsheng and leave.

But he failed.

"Good thing I didn't go, the waters are far too deep."

Gu Shanhai felt a chill. Indeed, there was something wrong with that guy.

As for why Gu Shanhai hadn't monitored him, it was because the battle area was not at Xiao Yongsheng's old mansion but in the city center. Moreover, Gu Shanhai had no idea that the Transcendent would take action.

He had thought at most it would be explosives, but unexpectedly, the Transcendent had just barged in, which was somewhat incomprehensible to him. You're already a top player, why would you... oh, maybe he's broke.

Gu Shanhai soon realized too, that the Transcendent had switched systems before, and had sold everything he could... damn it, even if you're broke, you wouldn't go to battle yourself.

Thus, Gu Shanhai was somewhat puzzled. If it were him, he would have wiped out the entire Yunxing City from afar, no need for all this hassle.

Even though the Transcendent's combat power had fallen after switching systems and he was a bit out of sync with the team, he would still be at least at level 480+.

Not to mention anything else, just releasing the energy within him could flatten the whole city.

"That means either his intelligence was reduced, or he was restricted, there's no third possibility."

Honestly, the task difficulty of this world isn't that great. The real challenge should be getting a high evaluation for a return.

"I wonder if he's dead."

Gu Shanhai's gaze shifted to Xiao's old mansion. By now, Xiao Yongsheng was already back, and his aura was extremely weak, looking like he was about to die.

"It looks like they are preparing to start the sacrificial ritual ahead of schedule."

If the Transcendent had won, his mission would now be completed, and Gu Shanhai would have lost big.

"But did the Transcendent actually die?" Gu Shanhai was also doubtful. The news report on TV definitely wouldn't give detailed information; it would just mention some unimportant information and then ramble a bit.

It keeps people aware of the danger but not how severe the danger is, so as not to cause panic.

"Unless something unexpected happens, Xiao Yongsheng should initiate the sacrificial ritual tonight, which could be interesting."

Gu Shanhai's Spiritual Sense swept through, and all of Yunxing City was constructed into a three-dimensional image by him, then optimized through the Four Saints Beasts System. All nodes of the sacrificial ritual were marked in red and subsequently extracted to create a blueprint.

"There are still quite a few deficiencies, looking at the success rate, it should be around seventy percent."

"Mainly, it's too rushed."

After large-scale deductions by the Four Saints Beasts System, many errors were quickly found.

A seventy percent success rate is already significant, similar to a signal weakening, hence the Eye of Deathly Silence would receive it, but it might be overlooked due to the signal being too weak.

"But since the mission hasn't failed, this means seventy percent is just the ritual's success rate, not the probability of the Eye of Deathly Silence's arrival."

If the ritual really fails, then with Xiao Yongsheng's physical condition, he won't live till tomorrow morning, which essentially means the mission would still be completed.

As for the aftermath from Eternal Sleep Sect and Chang'an Sect? Forget it, the only heirs have now been turned into flesh cocoons by Gu Shanhai. Even if they emerge from the cocoons, they won't be the successors of these sects anymore but some kind of sinister monster.

In the eyes of Xiao Yongsheng and the Transcendent, the ritual is important, but in Gu Shanhai's eyes, it really isn't, especially after the failure of the Transcendent, proving that the power of the Eye of Deathly Silence has already penetrated this world.

The pollution named 'Transcendent' has already begun to gestate.

Yes, pollution, not true transcendence, just calamities disguised as transcendence.

"I need to give him a little help, otherwise, this concept of death really won't go away, and I'd be screwed."

Gu Shanhai stayed here just to see a world without death; how could he allow it to fail?

"But I can't fix it too well, just about ninety percent should do."

Gu Shanhai said, pulling out a twisted Heart Demon Dao Soldier from inside him and controlling it through the Four Saints Beasts System to go help with the repair.
