The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

There was a deep red, like that of fresh blood, harboring a dark and terrifying resentment, and it bore a sentence.

[Accept this unease, destroy the nodes here, and you will receive a related great reward]

"It has been a long time since I saw such a deep-colored exclamation mark," Su Qi murmured to himself.

"And... there seem to be a few details that weren't visible before."

Su Qi gazed at the dangerous deep red exclamation mark.

There were added patterns on it, and although indiscernible, Su Qi always felt they bore a resemblance to Ancient Paradise.

Of course, it was only similar, there were many differences, more complex, obscure, ancient... and mysterious.

But Su Qi didn't mind.

This could be considered as unique Divinity belonging only to Su Qi, not only attracting benefits and avoiding harm but also gaining many extraordinary, bug-like rewards.

However... it was somewhat perverted, ignoring all rules, even those of the gods of the Abyss.

Additionally,

Su Qi could also feel that this cheat-like ability would grow as his own strength... no, rather his spiritual power grew, his abilities would also change.

"And next..."

Su Qi extended his hand and pressed it against the door of the cabin, this place where he had once stayed. He didn't know what it had become now, but... he was ready.

"Crack!"

The door to the cabin was not as hard to push as imagined; it simply made a grating wooden sound as if it had not been maintained for years.

And... at the same time,

Everyone also gasped slightly because everything inside the cabin had also come into their view.

And!

Everyone shivered!

Everything around seemed to have stopped, whether it was the surging waves or those screaming ghostly shadows, the ferocious Ghost Faces.

At that moment, all sounds ceased, as if muted.

Every one of them truly showed an expression of reverence, with utmost loyalty bowed their heads.

And the pain and the recent tormenting illusions disappeared among the crowd, theoretically, everyone should have been able to breathe a sigh of relief, recovering from that hell-like experience.

But they didn't.

Everyone shivered intensely, their bodies rigid to the extreme, faces full of fear, though there was nothing around, everyone trembled unconsciously!

Enveloped by boundless resentment!

Eyes bloodshot, they stared fixedly at the opened cabin, none dared to make a sound, even the Divine Son's forehead was beaded with sweat.

And all because,

there was a figure sitting inside the cabin, and this figure was just an ordinary-looking little boy, with a frail and somewhat feeble appearance.

Seated on a worn recliner, eyes closed, as if asleep.

Yet this figure instilled boundless fear in everyone, for even though the person was merely a little boy, appeared weak and was asleep,

Even though there was no information on him,

Everyone instantly experienced a shiver from the depths of their souls and instantly understood the identity of the person before them.

"This is the God of Anxiety!"

This was a kind of undeniable and unquestionable reality, the real horror of a divine being that, upon appearance, imposed a terrifying suppression and an unlookable presence on mortals, as if etched into their souls, impossible to ignore!

Everyone dared not make a sound, everything so quiet, as if this terrifying presence were merely napping, they did not dare make any movement to wake him!

For a while, under the crowd's shocked and fearful emotions, they also fell into a strange silence!

They even dared not communicate telepathically, although the oscillation of Spiritual Energy was necessary, as they needed it to maintain their bodies standing on the lake surface, otherwise, they would plummet into it.

"This is just... a trace of consciousness."

A Divine Son lowered his Spiritual Energy and whispered telepathically in a terrified, hoarse voice.

The telepathic message did not disturb the quietude, which relieved everyone, but they still dared not move.

"Just?"

Chenxing's eyes trembled, his body had just stopped shaking: "This is... the terrifying God of Anxiety..."

"Indeed... the hint from Divinity made sense."

Before, the Divine Son who had almost stepped into the range of the cabin, took a deep but cautious breath:

"This is absolutely a fatal, ultimate danger!"

If they dared to enter, they would face the terrifying God of Anxiety!

Even though it appeared now only as a projection formed by a strand of consciousness!

But... it made everyone tremble uncontrollably, producing endless fear and unease!

Jiang Zhi and An Nan's pupils shrank violently, and at that moment, they tried to contact Su Qi via Starfire, urging him to quietly retreat!

But for some reason... Su Qi did not respond to them.

On Su Qi's end, things were exploding into chaos!!

The shock and anxious voice of Luo Shenfu kept resonating in Su Qi's mind: "Daozi!!"

"Get away!!"

"This is genuinely a consciousness of the God of Anxiety, though only a strand left on the Totem... it is the person himself!!"

"Don't wake him up!!"

Luo Shenfu had instantly recognized the other party as soon as he opened the cabin door, having once been a Quasi-Saint of the Immortal Path Dimension and a Demigod in the Present World!

Naturally, he had also seen the aura and current form of the God of Anxiety!

Of course, even without the external clues, he could be certain.

But after talking for so long, Su Qi hadn't responded; he said with a trembling voice:

"Daozi, now is not the time to act tough!"

"Normally, you can do as you please, and I don't stop you because I believe in your ability."

"But not now, you have no idea how terrifying the God of Anxiety is! The torture just now was just the tip of the iceberg of its methods, its horrible curses..."

Su Qi gently interrupted him, saying, "First, you didn't stop me before not because you believed, but because I wouldn't listen."

Luo Shenfu's eyes widened, and even at this moment, he was poking at his own sore spot, even though it was true, but was it important now!!!

"Second, the God of Anxiety, that's all..." Su Qi spread his hands: "Is it impressive?"

Luo Shenfu looked at Su Qi's open hands, and alarm bells rang wildly!!

Fortunately, the little boy lying and sleeping inside the cabin showed no signs of waking up due to this small movement.

He then stammered hoarsely, "Stop joking!! Daozi, you carry the grand mission of the Immortal Path's recovery, please be serious!!"

Luo Shenfu was about to perform a beseeching encouragement for Daozi to retreat.

Meanwhile, Su Qi lightly said:

"Speaking of people who carry a grand mission..."

He looked at the doll in his pocket and gently tapped it open.

"Xiao Ou, what do you think."

At this moment, the doll shivered tremulously, hiding in the pocket. Seeing Su Qi asking and looking at it, it was panicked and terrified to the extreme! It played dead... turning into a breathless toy.

But that didn't work.

Su Qi gently said, "You're shaking so much, stop playing dead. Didn't you say the giants of the Abyss are your enemies?"

"Now this one... Is it?"

Xiao Ou shakily nodded, unable to suppress this deep-rooted fear from its soul, it even dared not speak.

"This is perfect!" Su Qi looked at the figure of the little boy: "The great enemy is right before us, isn't this the time for you to seek your revenge?"

"Xiao Ou, I'll let you out, you go first when the time comes!"

Xiao Ou's eyes widened, fear almost spilling out: "Don't mess around!!"

"Listen to me, leave now, quickly!"

But Su Qi shook his head, "We made a bet, and I am determined to destroy this place..."

Xiao Ou: "Then I'll leave first! Come tell me after you've destroyed it!"

"That won't do." Su Qi lightly laughed, "You're the witness!"

Xiao Ou: "Brother Su!! Or rather, Sect Hierarch!! I was wrong, I won't bet with you anymore!! Let's retreat!!"

It cried inconsolably, although at times it had imagined how to deal with the enemies of the Abyss, but... those were all fantasies, and far in the future!

Who would have expected the God of Anxiety to appear now, even just a strand of will, but it was still the source of fear and anxiety!!
