Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

He seemed to sense that Zhou Baiyu's mentality had grown somewhat.

What followed was a parting of ways, some people left as if liberated while others lingered with reluctance.

The Land of Joy had already perished, leaving some to rejoice and others to mourn.

The joys and sorrows of humanity do not intersect, and empathy between people is rare; perhaps this scenario best illustrates that truth.

Those who had never gone to area B were shocked by the torment endured by its inhabitants, rendered barely human in appearance, yet they had not experienced that suffering themselves and still yearned for that indulgent realm.

These people had already forsaken much in their desires.

As Guang Tongchen and Xing Meng watched them leave, each reacting in their own way, they were well aware that some... could no longer cope with the apocalypse.

But that had nothing to do with them.

The essence of destroying the Land of Joy lay in the progress of the Divine Endowment ceremony.

The world was not yet ready to birth a god.

Some had successfully completed the Divine Endowment, but in the end, they had no choice but to end up "hiding in a transit station."

But nobody knew whether those demons rooted in the Advanced World could truly achieve Divine Enthronement.

A god becomes the rule, which seems to be a rule in itself, but after so long, does this rule still constrain those about to complete the Divine Endowment?

But without a doubt, destroying the Land of Joy and seizing the All Gods' Treasure was a major event.

The impact of this event might not surpass the Nightmare Bridge in the short term, but in the long run, if the Land of Joy were allowed to expand indefinitely...

The harm it might cause could rival the Nightmare Bridge in terms of the extinction of the human species.

The massive island sank bit by bit until ultimately, the people of both areas A and B were all sent away.

Only when the island was left to four people did Zhou Baiyu begin to narrate the causes and effects of the island's story.

Through observations of the Eternal Laughter among the All Gods' Treasure, he had essentially pieced together the whole truth of the Land of Joy.

"It looks like the moment this island completely sinks into the sea, our mission will be considered complete, right?" Xing Meng said.

Zhou Baiyu nodded:

"Probably."

"What exactly did you see? What's the deal with that bell? I've always been curious, why is that bell suspended in the sky? Why doesn't Boluke destroy it?"

Xing Meng's question was also something Wu Xin was very concerned about.

Unlike the Land of No Light, where the way out requires everyone to shine collectively and unite to open the vortex,

on the surface, the Land of No Light seems almost invulnerable.

But the Land of Joy had one huge vulnerability—the bell.

It was because of the bell that Zhou Baiyu could shatter Boluke's world of desire.

The bell was exceedingly important.

So important that with it, the Land of Joy seemed to expose its own weakness.

Therefore, its existence seemed very illogical.

Zhou Baiyu said:

"Boluke wanted to complete the Divine Endowment, but perhaps the god just needed someone to revive it."

"It's hard to say, whether it was Boluke who chose the All Gods' Treasure, or the All Gods' Treasure that was using Boluke."

Guang Tongchen furrowed his brows.

The island was about to sink into the sea, and now the entire island's descent seemed like a giant hand in the sky, slowly smacking towards the sea surface.

Feeling the slow descent, Zhou Baiyu said:

"We still know too little about the new gods."

"What I'm about to say might not be correct, and my guesses might make the future seem very bleak... We might be facing not just the demonic races we know, but higher beings."

Having come into contact with the All Gods' Treasure twice... no, to be precise, three times, Zhou Baiyu had grasped some patterns.

The other three kept silent, admiring the slowly sinking scene while waiting for Zhou Baiyu's narration.

"The All Gods' Treasure I previously obtained was called Dream of Void. From its description, I thought it was an object that someone used to form the Divine Embryos called 'Nightmare' and 'Nihility.'"

"But I've realized that maybe the God of Nightmare and Nihility actually exists."

"It's just that during the twilight of the gods, this god became one of the rules."

"Later, someone found the object previously used for Divine Endowment by that god, the All Gods' Treasure Dream of Void. This person is the leader of the Night Demons, Eternal Night."

"Eternal Night wanted to become the next 'God of Nightmare and Nihility,' so Eternal Night bound himself to this All Gods' Treasure, forming a pact."

"After that, the All Gods' Treasure required Eternal Night to trap more and more people in nightmares, letting their wills ultimately converge into nihility."

"Hearing this, do you feel like this story is about Eternal Night activating the All Gods' Treasure?"

Wu Xin nodded.

As someone who had been imprisoned in the Land of No Light for several years, he also felt that Eternal Night imprisoning them was part of some ritual.

But Zhou Baiyu said:

"But the truth could be that the All Gods' Treasure is using Eternal Night."

"What do you mean?" Wu Xin was puzzled.

Zhou Baiyu recounted a simple story that seemed unrelated:

"Would you say that humans planting wheat means that humans have enslaved wheat, or that wheat has enslaved humans?"

"It might seem like humans are controlling everything, right? But think about it, the innate instinct of life is to propagate and spread. What plants do throughout their lives is continuously find ways to occupy more land."
