Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Combined with Bai Ye's voice, he was struck by the power of Bai Ye's abilities.

The Gardener.

Those two ants, carried by Bai Ye to a place thousands of miles away from where they belonged, wandered lost and confused...

The lives of the ants were changed by a massive force of destiny.

But because of this, they received a gift from fate.

These two ants, initially insignificant in the grasslands, went unnoticed by everyone.

But gradually, they would become the dominators of the grasslands.

They would become beings that could one day kill beetles.

And in the near future, in an unobserved corner—

They might grow into existences that even lions and tigers would fear.

Until they reigned supreme over the grasslands.

Squish.

Bai Ye's foot appeared in the memory, and the two ants died.

Crushed to bits, their bodies squashed flat, their juices sticking to the sole of Bai Ye's shoe.

But no one cared.

Because stepping on ants while playing on the lawn was too normal.

It was just that not many people, like Bai Ye, would play in such corners.

At this moment, Bai Ye's gaze fixed on a cricket.

A cricket.

He revealed the same look as he did when observing the ants.

Zhou Baiyu recalled the words Bai Ye had spoken in his youth... he seemed to understand some of Bai Ye's thoughts.

This indeed was far more interesting than movies and games.

As the Gardener, Bai Ye granted these creatures a certain potential.

Watching them use that potential, to break certain shackles, to change fate, to overturn the sort of life people assumed... that was indeed very entertaining.

The memory ended there, Bai Ye was generous, but he didn't let Zhou Baiyu know all about the seven sons of the Holy Sanctuary.

He had to leave some mysteries, to keep Zhou Baiyu interested.

Noticing Zhou Baiyu's expression, Bai Ye said with satisfaction,

"It looks like you might be able to understand me."

"Fantastic, Mr. Zhou Baiyu, I just knew you would be able to grasp my existence."

"After escaping the Holy Sanctuary, I have been searching for the perfect ant. Not the kind anyone could squish with a foot."

"Ling'er and Seamer, they are such ants. But once I confirmed Seamer's traits, I realized that Seamer was an even more outstanding being than Ling'er, and perhaps it would be a better choice for Seamer to devour Ling'er."

"But I also wanted to give Ling'er a chance, so I chose to leave and let her experience the most desperate moment because the power of the Corruption Gu requires immense despair to be unleashed, a conclusion you already knew, didn't you?"

Through Zhang Haoyun's despair, becoming demon-king level, Zhou Baiyu had also found out that everyone has different aptitudes, but for those with similar aptitudes, the more despair they felt, the moment they succumbed to becoming a corrupted being... the more powerful they became.

"I am eager to see whether it is Ling'er who defeats Seamer and becomes the ultimate Gu, or if Seamer assimilates Ling'er and becomes the sole ruler."

"But Mr. Zhou Baiyu, I made a mistake, I realized that both Ling'er and Seamer needed a growth cycle. Fortunately, your arrival stopped my mistake."

Bai Ye indeed thought this, as Zhou Baiyu had shown him more potential in Seamer and Bai Ling.

Zhou Baiyu had also learned that Bai Ye's abilities were indeed related to the word "Gardener."

Bai Ye was not like Huang Miu, chosen and favored by luck, nor like the powerful and domineering control of the blue cave.

Bai Ye's power seemed able to bring about a certain growth potential based on people's different life experiences.

This potential, perhaps even Bai Ye himself did not know.

But indeed, in a certain sense...

Bai Ye was a creator of pawns.

The gods transformed into rules; this is the game board, but given enough time to Bai Ye, perhaps he could guide more people with excellent qualifications like Seamer and Bai Ling to emerge.

That's why Seamer and Bai Ling were stronger than countless corrupted beings from the start, as if their starting point was already the pinnacle they strived for all their lives—

All this was caused by Bai Ye's abilities.

Bai Ye could grant others exaggerated growth potentials.

"Now, please allow me, as the Gardener, to bring you my gift, to draw out your growth potential, shall we?"

One of the seven sons of the Holy Sanctuary, "The Gardener" Bai Ye, revealed a smile.

In Bai Ye's view, Zhou Baiyu agreeing to him was all benefit and no harm, such a smart person would definitely accept his proposition.

Yet Zhou Baiyu suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.
