Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

This was supposed to be good news, but it also made Zhou Baiyu feel... that all fates were converging on the center of the island.

It was very likely that when everyone arrived at the island's center, there would be a violent clash.

And the clue that had appeared not long before made it impossible for them not to head towards the island's center.

"We actually only need to wait, if we continue to delve deeper into this island, it is very likely we will encounter some situations that even we would have difficulty dealing with," Zhou Baiyu had said to Guang Tongchen not long ago.

As a top-tier fighter, although Guang Tongchen also could not let his senses penetrate too far into the white fog, his intuition was still very accurate.

Guang Tongchen could feel that the center of the island would probably have a lot of things gathered.

Zhou Baiyu took out the Book of Chaos.

"What is this book?" Guang Tongchen asked again.

"I got it earlier during the recruitment, um, the text in the book is an ancient language, which I can barely read."

Zhou Baiyu flipped through the Book of Chaos.

This book, in its rule-less stage, hinted that there would be rules. When the rules descended, there was an interpretation of these rules.

At the same time, when Zhou Baiyu met the rule requirements and completed the kill, the book had new content.

"What does the book say?"

"The content of the book is uncertain, at different times, it gives out different information, but what's for sure is — this island does not belong to the Longxia Continent."

"Hmm?"

Guang Tongchen frowned.

It was Midel, however, who showed a look of realization; she had always felt that this island was very strange.

After all, Midel had been in this place for a long time, and there were almost no places that the demonic race had not explored.

Yet this island, Midel also completely failed to recognize.

Zhou Baiyu said:

"Our task may not just be about fighting for survival; that's just the obvious part. To survive is probably just to get a basic passing score."

"To get a higher score, we'll have to find a way to explore some of the island's secrets."

"This is an island called forth through recruitment, just like the pioneers, the pure walkers, the demonic race, the corrupted breed, and so on."

This was indeed a startling revelation.

Guang Tongchen had not expected that the island itself could also have been called forth?

But Zhou Baiyu seemed to have figured something out.

The God of Mischief was actually similar to the God of Games and Entertainment in some aspects; they would set up several ways to clear a game.

Some involved cleverness, others involved brute force.

Even if one's power level was maxed out, the God of Mischief seemed to leave many strange things behind, like... no one could have predicted that mutating the books in the library would trigger a super-long mutation, and then receive the Book of Chaos.

This time was no different. When the super-dimensional mutation began, although everyone was still in a part of the Longxia sea area, this island did not belong to Longxia.

Zhou Baiyu was also surprised when he saw new content in the Book of Chaos.

Not only did the demonic race, the corrupted breed, and the polluted kinds receive the summons, but even an island received the summons?

Was this island possibly alive?

The text of the Book of Chaos described it thus, Zhou Baiyu relayed:

"Please explore the island, go deep into the island, find the entrance to the ancient passage, enter the insides of the massive Sea Emperor."

The phrase "ancient passage" left everyone puzzled.

Zhou Baiyu also found it strange, but after a while, he seemed to think of something.

Vaguely, Zhou Baiyu felt he had received a long task, one link leading to another.

"On the surface, this mutation-induced recruitment is a melting pot of various forces competing on the same stage, but in reality, is it about getting enough people onto the same stage and then selecting one person worthy of entering the ancient passage?"

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu felt as if he was connected to something.

Many clues appeared in his mind, and at this moment, these clues slowly came together—

"Why is Nightmare Bridge so important?"

"A group of legendary pioneers saved those people, but what help have those people provided to this day?"

"None at all, right? So far, Huang Miu, and others who were saved at Nightmare Bridge, seem to have disappeared. All efforts are being made by the pioneers."

"But why? After saving that group of people, did the world enter the next version, from the apocalypse to the post-apocalyptic era?"

"Huang Miu was saved from the Nightmare Bridge by many legendary pioneers. In the secret library of the gods, there are so many hidden secrets. Strange trains can reach the library, but no one has ever explored the God's Secret Library."

"It's clear, only Huang Miu knows about the God's Secret Library. Huang Miu provided the final clue, so the conductor drove towards the end."

"Only by saving Huang Miu can one reach the library."

"And only by reaching the God's Secret Library can one find the secrets belonging to the Mutators."

"And only by finding the Mutator's secrets can this mutation summoning be initiated."

"And only by initiating the mutation summoning might one find the next secret buried by the God of Games and Entertainment..."

"And that next secret is related to the ancient passages!"

As Zhou Baiyu was sorting through these thoughts, Wuxin looked at the sky and felt that something was off.

"Speaking of which... should we really continue deeper into this island? The weather here is peculiar."

Zhou Baiyu looked at Wuxin with a puzzled expression:

"What sort of peculiar?"

Wuxin continued to look at the sky and said:

"There is a force affecting destiny, trying to alter the fortunes of everyone."

"Strange, it's not a destiny pattern, but another kind of force of fate. I have never seen such a force. It seems somewhat similar to the force of destiny inside me, but more evil..."

Despite common people being unable to perceive such changes, the sky looked normal to them.

But Wuxin could see that a huge force of destiny was converging towards a certain place.

Once this force formed, the fate of everyone on this island would be affected.

And the result of such influence would be endless disasters and bad luck.

"It's a contamination species, one that can affect people's fortunes and spread misfortune," Zhou Baiyu blurted out.

But this thought didn't come from Zhou Baiyu's intuition. Instead, these words suddenly popped into Zhou Baiyu's mind.

It was a sentence with a voice, and Zhou Baiyu felt it was very familiar from the moment she heard it.

"It is the fallen followers of the gods of decay and misfortune. I just happened to have come into contact with them."

The voice in the mind continued to speak.

Zhou Baiyu became alert; she remembered the owner of the voice.

"Don't be nervous, I haven't broken through the dream block, I've just been surviving here for a long time, and I've found a way to communicate with you."

The voice in the mind carried a hint of helplessness, completely lacking the ambition of the past days when it wanted to conquer the world.

The others didn't notice anything wrong with Zhou Baiyu. After hearing what Zhou Baiyu had said, Wuxin thought about it more and felt it might be possible, saying:

"Maybe so, I'm not sure why, but this thing does seem like some sort of contamination radiation, spreading continuously, the longer the time, the more everyone's fortune gets devoured..."

"If we leave this thing unchecked, the island will be filled with unfortunate people. Such bad fortune could bring a catastrophe to the island and even all living things on it..."

Wuxin was not being alarmist.

Zhou Baiyu thought of those strange contamination species. Thinking about their impact on the world and the damage they caused outside the barrier, she immediately felt a sense of crisis.

"Wuxin, can you find this person by guiding us?"

"Yes."

Wuxin confirmed in response.

Zhou Baiyu said:

"Then let's go and deal with this contamination species first. Otherwise, the pioneers on the island might be in big trouble."

"Okay!"

The direction where the contamination species was located was to the southwest. It was very far from Zhou Baiyu and the others.

Wuxin didn't know how fast this misfortune was spreading, nor whether they could stop it in time.

He only hoped... that the other pioneers could prevent all this before a tragedy occurred.

Their pace quickened, and Zhang Haoyun and Midel's gazes were all on Zhou Baiyu.

Women are indeed more meticulous and sensitive.

Both women noticed that there was something off about Zhou Baiyu, as if she was communicating with someone invisible.
