Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Seeing Zhou Baiyu so excited, Zhang Haoyun and Zhen Shi couldn't help but come over to look at the book.

The pages of the book were indeed magical, the characters were moving as if they had life.

But neither Zhang Haoyun nor Zhen Shi recognized the writing on the page.

"Baiyu... Xianwu, can you understand the writing here?" Zhen Shi asked.

"I can understand it. I've studied it for a few days. In fact, the grammar of the All Gods' Language is very similar to ours. Basically, you just need to rote memorize the individual words. The difficulty is much lower than English, and I've almost got the hang of it after a few days," Baiyu replied.

Zhen Shi nodded. Zhang Haoyun always felt… that Zhou Baiyu was showing off, and she couldn't help asking:

"What does it say?"

Zhou Baiyu said:

"The book says this: We are now in the no-rules murder phase, which will probably last about an hour. After one hour, it will enter the rules phase."

"The duration of the rules phase is uncertain. It might get over in a few minutes or could last until the end of the three-day period."

"Once the rules phase begins, the weak may use the rules to check the strong. But it's also possible that the strong, if lucky, become even stronger. It all depends on how you understand the rules."

Zhou Baiyu was already very familiar with this set-up, but Zhang Haoyun and Zhen Shi were obviously not.

"Rules? What do you mean?"

"It's a feature of the Advanced World, some strange clauses and frameworks. Adapt to the rules, use the rules, and you can perform acts of overcoming the strong while being weak in this world."

"But it's not always possible to turn the tables when the wind is against you. There are also those who are stronger and smarter than you. If you encounter such an opponent... well, then there's really no way out," Baiyu elaborated.

Zhang Haoyun was shocked:

"You have always been experiencing such dangerous things?"

"You get used to it. The death rate in the Advanced World isn't actually that high, it's not even fifty percent," Baiyu mentioned casually.

"..."

"..."

Zhen Shi and Zhang Haoyun suddenly felt that waiting for Zhou Baiyu to come back each time and his successful return was truly a very fortunate thing.

To say that it's less than fifty percent... He could actually speak so calmly about it?

She remembered once when he hadn't come back for a long time, a gap of several months...

That time, the experiences Zhou Baiyu went through must have been extremely perilous, perhaps one foot already in the grave.

But Zhou Baiyu was really calm; each of his journeys was perilous and greatly depended on luck.

It could be said that his own efforts, the protective instincts gifted by Lin, and various timings had to align perfectly for him to survive.

Yet, having survived many times, he gradually found a sense of it.

Zhou Baiyu had great faith in his instincts.

Zhen Shi asked, "Xianwu, does it write what the next set of rules will be?"

Zhou Baiyu shook his head:

"No, it only mentions that the rules are random, a rule will last for a while, but when the corresponding rule appears, the Book of Chaos will also have a corresponding update."

"Simply put, right now is the no-rules phase, and in the rules phase, we can use this book to completely grasp the rules while others are still fumbling with the details."

"But during the no-rules phase, we must keep a low profile... It's best that we don't venture deep into the foggy areas right now."

Looking at the foggy area ahead, Zhou Baiyu was not sure of the outcome.

During the no-rules phase, there are no rules, like two fighters entering the ring, the competition is about who is stronger.

On the other hand, the rules phase totally depends on who adapts better to the rules themselves.

It's like two fighters in a ring, and when the stronger is about to finish off the weaker, suddenly the rules change.

The referee helps up the battered and bruised fighter and says, "Now you don't have to get hit anymore. Now the two of you are going to see who can pee further. The one who can pee ten feet against the wind wins."

This is how absurd the rules phase can be.

The weak definitely have the chance to turn the situation around during this rules phase.

Zhou Baiyu also realized that this was one of the ways by which the god of mischief was changing the world order.

It's possible that during the rules phase... the forerunners could even take out Demon Lords, or even the Demon Emperor.

As for Demigods...

Zhou Baiyu dared not imagine.

"For now we do nothing, we just try to blend into our surroundings, stay hidden. Meanwhile, remain vigilant."

"Based on the information we have received previously, to survive the full three days, perhaps nothing will happen during these three days, or perhaps... there will be those who thirst for blood, causing trouble everywhere."

Zhang Haoyun suddenly felt a bit nervous.

She had thought that her strength far exceeded Zhou Baiyu's, and after entering the Advanced World, she would be able to protect him. But now, watching him calmly analyze the situation and gradually helping her and Zhen Shi adapt to the rules, understand what to do...

She instinctively began to rely on him.

Zhou Baiyu was also nervous, but he appeared very calm, because he needed to stabilize the emotions of Zhang Haoyun and Zhen Shi.

Until now, Zhou Baiyu hadn't forgotten that he had a life-threatening debuff— a strong desire for death.

But strangely, despite his nervousness, he did not feel any desire for death.

He did not think about exploring beyond the visible area, nor did he think about Midel meeting Zhang Haoyun and then not only failing to think of a lie but instead advocating that he wanted everything.

"It's really strange... My nervousness is mainly because I'm afraid of being targeted by some monster, but right now, I'm quite certain that I don't have any desire for death."

"I hope this desire for death isn't something that appears periodically? I really hope it's not like that."

Zhou Baiyu had a premonition that the next three days would definitely not be peaceful.

He, Zhen Shi, and Zhang Haoyun were all hiding behind a statue, exchanging in whispers.
