Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Guang Tongchen was a legend in his own right. He had been through many desperate situations and naturally adjusted his attitude faster than others:

"Let's disband for now. Do whatever you need to do, and take a good rest for two days."

"Eat well, drink well, and treat yourself better in reality. Whatever you want to say or do, go ahead and say it or do it."

"On the last day, an hour before the countdown, let's meet again at the transfer station. Don't feel any psychological burden, everyone."

"There are no unsolvable patterns, no games that can't be beaten."

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. If we really have to die, I, as your guild leader, will surely die before any of you. But we won't die."

The words of Guang Tongchen and some of his guild members greatly impressed Zhou Baiyu. But confidence alone was not enough.

To survive, one must also make adequate preparations.

After thinking it over, Zhou Baiyu decided to spend his Advanced points to properly equip himself:

"Sister Lin, can I drink that drink in advance?"

Sister Lin's face flushed with excitement as she slowly stood up:

"Of course. The drink will only take effect after you enter the Advanced World. When you receive the countdown, you can drink it. Do you want to drink it now?"

Zhou Baiyu nodded. Knowing in advance which god would toy with him was also a way to gather information early on.

Once the update announcement and the survival trial requirements were released, he could use his own characteristics to formulate a targeted strategy.

Sister Lin gave a mysterious smile and quickly placed a purple drink on the bar.

"Lucky for you, though it's not the most expensive dark gold, the potency of the purple is still strong."

Zhou Baiyu already understood just how terrifying the dark gold drink was.

If it weren't for that drink, ten of his lives wouldn't have sufficed. It was a bug that could alter the natural laws of life and death.

Although the purple wasn't as good as dark gold, it was still likely to be very powerful.

However, Sister Lin still said:

"Of course, there is also a chance you might drink some strange potency. I can only wish you good luck, hehe."

Zhou Baiyu raised the glass and drank it all in one go.

This time, the dizziness was significantly less intense, and the world before his eyes blurred as if overused, but it quickly became clear again.

A wealth of information also swiftly appeared in his mind.

[The Fall of Saint Udier. Hmm, not a bad temporary trait. Before we explain this trait, let's talk about the 'God of Art and Creation.'

Including our chaos-loving god, they are among the nine orthodox gods. The God of Art and Creation, along with those other new gods, stepped into God's Domain in mortal flesh, without worshippers or legacy.

On the eve of the Twilight of the Gods, Udier fell in love with the God of Art and Creation. Once you decide to use Udier's Fall, you will be able to induce a strong pursuit of art and beauty in people and things around you.

For a short time, their desire for philosophy, art, and aesthetics will be significantly enhanced.

In the end, good luck. Although you already know reality, you must still be cautious to achieve that reality.]

The last sentence left Zhou Baiyu somewhat puzzled. But after a little thought, he understood.

"If there exists a future where I meet Zhou Shou, then it certainly proves… that I can survive until then."

"However, if I don't strive to my utmost due to this knowledge, then I will still die, and the future will change…"

Time is very complex, so disrupting time might well alter the fundamental relationship between cause and effect.

Zhou Baiyu looked at Lin and suddenly thought of a question:

"Lin, if my brother hadn't become Zhou Shou, then he wouldn't have revealed his identity during the assassination of the great uprising, nor would he have disclosed so much information. Even his future trajectory might not involve the assassination at all, but the killing of someone else."

"So, are you saying, if I die in infinite mode, my death would change the future?"

"And if the future changes, would it cause Reverser Zhou Shou to change the past? Thus, causing a huge shift in the entire world?"

Lin smiled:

"Isn't that a very different and chaotic matter?"

"However, you need not worry. I can only tell you one thing: when you know of a future that is beneficial to you, strive to achieve it."

"When you know of a future that is detrimental to you, strive to overturn it, because... your foundation is [the present]."

"Having [the present], you possess infinite possibilities, whereas [the future] is merely the feedback of your actions in [the present]."

"Remember these words. If it's good, then realize it; if it's not, then change it. Beyond that, there's no need to overthink. If you die, why should you care what the world turns into?"

Lin spoke these earnest words rarely.

She too had once been lost between [the present] and [the future].

But after becoming an intermediary, her thoughts began to proliferate.

In the eyes of the Advanced World, she may be a female cigarette addict, smoking until her bones turned soft.

But in fact, among the nine intermediaries, her abilities were certainly at the forefront.

Zhou Baiyu pondered these words and gradually understood.

Indeed, why bother thinking so much? If Zhou Shou's existence is beneficial to me, then I must work hard to turn that demon hunter into my good brother, Zhou Shou.

In the future, I may face futures that are not in my favor... so I will work hard to overturn them.

But there is a precondition—no Reversers.

Reversers possess [the past], which is the Achilles' heel of the Advanced World, because [the present] can change [the future], and [the past] can negate [the present].

If possible, I must find a way through Zhou Shou to completely erase the Reverser.

Zhou Baiyu looked at Lin:

"If I die in infinite mode, you'll lose a lot of fun, too, Lin. Don't trick me this time. Can all the points I have in the Advanced World get me some other good stuff?"

"I want to survive."

Lin still wore that languid and enchanting smile:

"I also want you to survive. I love aiding and trading with newcomers. Since you're sincerely asking, of course, I'll give you something good."

"But to enhance your professional skills significantly, you would need a very expensive amount of points. However, the upside of a gambler is the ability to win big with something small."

"I can give you a drink, you consume it, and perhaps you'll gain some very nice traits, skills, items. But it might also lead to disappointment."

Lin looked at Zhou Baiyu with an encouraging gaze:

"For the upcoming recruitment, infinite mode is dangerous, but the place you're going to is inherently perilous. My advice is... take a chance."

"Don't waste your transformation gift, one only wins if one dares to gamble."
