Chapter 997 Distortion (8)
The significance of the Demon Saint Palace, comprised of the Hundred Meridians consisting of the lower, middle, and upper three levels, is to cleanse the world from external pollution and save it from its continuous decline into darkness.
Furthermore, Han Yi's purpose in coming to the Otherworld was to cleanse the mutants and purify the world from its pollution.
But looking at it now...
obviously.
Even the most righteous and noble pronouncements in Lian Chengzi's mouth are, in the eyes of many beings outside... untenable.
Perhaps the root cause lies elsewhere.
It still stemmed from the conflict between the Demon Saint Palace and the heretical sects.
"Knowing so much, then your identity... is that of a mutant?" Han Yi remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking.
“I am neither Master Faming nor the master of Xuanling Temple. Xuanling Temple is an organization composed of ghost kings who have lived for a long time. They want to make changes and save the world, but little do they know that their own existence is a kind of harm to the world itself.”
Old Ni's answer was unexpected.
"I am just an ordinary mother, an ordinary person. An ordinary person who has lived a long time, an ordinary person who is trapped in despair, watching everything happen helplessly."
Of course. I don't know what you mean by "abnormal being," but if you mean this inhuman, ghostly appearance... perhaps the abnormal being you're looking for is me.
"You don't mind if I check it out, do you?" Han Yi's voice was low, and he already had a bad feeling.
"Whatever you want," the old nun said calmly.
*Sizzle*
Han Yi quickly sketched the shape with his divine sense and pointed with his finger.
Suddenly, a pattern shaped like a silver-white array appeared and slowly rotated in front of him.
"go."
Han Yi pointed his finger again.
A silver-white ray shot out and landed on the old nun in the blink of an eye. Like a faded ink painting, the silver color instantly disappeared, turning into a thin line exuding a thick, ominous black aura.
See the scene in front of you.
Han Yi immediately frowned.
Judging from the detection method provided by Lian Chengzi, the other party's body did indeed contain a large amount of polluted energy, meeting the standard for a mutant.
But......
Apart from that.
No matter how you look at it.
The other party does not fit the characteristics of a mutant.
"Is it over?"
The old nun gently stroked the fleshy body with a kind expression and asked calmly.
"You asked me what my purpose was... It's actually quite simple... Thank you, please do it and let's break free from this endless nightmare cycle."
"If... this is your only purpose..."
Countless thoughts surged through Han Yi's mind, and his voice was low.
"Then why...why did you lead me here?"
He was puzzled.
This is clearly a trap.
It was clear that someone had deliberately lured him here.
If the other side doesn't want him to come over, then there's no need to go to this point.
"The world's pollution is getting worse," Old Ni said with a wry smile. "There are good people in this world, but there are far more bad people. It's not that I wanted you to come; it's that from the moment you arrived in this world, you were already being watched by this polluted world."
However, logically speaking... the existence of you celestial demons should be concealed from heavenly secrets, making you undetectable.
At this point, she also felt a little strange.
She can see the extraterrestrial demons because she herself has become part of the world, or rather, a container for pollution.
At the cost of her daughter and herself, she has absorbed countless corrupting forces from Outer Gods for hundreds of years, never leaving their side, struggling to suppress the further deterioration of world pollution.
This is a cry for help and a struggle originating from the will of the world itself.
This can be seen as the 'good' aspect of the Way of Heaven.
On the other hand.
The world, corrupted by external gods and driven solely by instinct, can be simply understood as the 'evil' side of the Way of Heaven.
But it is trying to break this container, to let the whole world completely degenerate and become a warm birthing room for the Outer God.
"That is to say..."
Han Yi's expression changed slightly. Ever since he agreed to participate in the test with Lian Chengzi and entered this world, he had felt that something was not right.
Experience everything that happened.
There are just too many coincidences.
but.
Out of trust in the Star Locking Array.
Out of trust in Lian Chengzi.
It was also out of trust in the Demon Saint Palace.
Han Yi decided to come and take a look anyway.
For nothing else.
Just to eliminate a wrong option.
After all, this trap, which is so obvious at a glance, doesn't really look like a trap until its existence is revealed.
But......
Han Yi's face suddenly darkened.
If.
The Star-Locking Array failed to work.
His actions...were discovered and he was being watched from the very beginning...
"Too late..." Old Ni smiled bitterly, "Heavenly Demon...you can't escape...I can feel it...destruction...is coming soon...the world is crying, wailing, pleading..."
call......
A gentle breeze was blowing.
Han Yi suddenly raised his head.
............
............
The Northern Lands, the Thousand Spirits Palace.
Inside the room, which gleamed with a silvery-white light.
Lian Chengzi stared intently at the light screen before him, holding his breath.
Sitting next to him was an old man, a white-haired old man with a white beard that reached his chest, who was also staring intently at the light screen.
On the light curtain.
A small team clad in silver armor was cautiously exploring something ahead.
"it is good!"
Lian Chengzi suddenly jumped up, clapped his hands and cheered, looking triumphantly at the white-bearded old man beside him.
"I knew it! This must be a valuable world, at least a White Spirit world, maybe even a Blue Spirit world! Here, here, it looks like your Azure Tea is doomed this time."
"Did you cheat again?" the white-haired old man sneered. "Did you use the Star Locking Compass to detect it beforehand?"
"You old devil, you're not admitting defeat after losing?" Lian Chengzi glared at him, casually tossing over a formation plate. "Here, check it out. If you checked it beforehand, I'll admit defeat! A bet is a bet, okay? If you can't handle losing, don't play!"
The white-haired old man, however, was not swayed by this tactic and took the array plate to examine it carefully.
After a while.
He raised his head with a strange expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lian Chengzi frowned. "It's like I've done something wrong."
"That world...did you just send someone there?" the white-haired old man asked in a low voice.
"Han Yi? That kid should be fine. I think he has quite a few secrets. He's at most a mutant from a small world, so it shouldn't be a problem for him." Lian Chengzi waved his hand casually.
"Without the blessing of star power, without activating the Supreme Demon-Repelling Array, and without using the Star-Locking Positioning Technique, how could this possibly work?" the white-haired old man murmured.
"?!"
Lian Chengzi's expression changed drastically. He almost snatched the array plate back and quickly tapped it several times.
That kid...
He has the life-saving method I gave him...
Surely they wouldn't be so foolish as to not use it...
Large drops of sweat seeped from Lian Chengzi's forehead.
............
............
Another world.
Fenghua Mountain.
Han Yi looked up at the sky.
It was a scene that defies description.
The roaring black wind was like a black dragon, and the entire sky was covered by malicious dark clouds. In an instant, everything in sight became dark.
After a while.
A tiny star twinkled.
It took less than a breath.
The dark sky was filled with dazzling and beautiful stars, and colorful nebulae formed vortexes of different sizes, like billions of eyes filled with an eerie aura, staring intently at Han Yi.
A vast amount of darkness, deeper than the night itself, seeped continuously from the starry sky, forming thick, ink-like fogs that resembled countless menacing tentacles, polluting, eroding, and devouring everything they touched.
Even the air itself instantly turned into an unbreathable, highly toxic gas.
“Heavenly Demon…it seems…you can’t kill me…” The old nun sighed, a hint of melancholy in her expression. “But there’s nothing we can do about it, since we’ll all die here.”
Her voice grew softer and softer, and her eyes gradually lost their color.
As the sound disappeared.
Another aura, full of malice and evil, slowly rose from the old nun.
Click click click......
Her armless sleeves began to slowly wriggle, as if something alive was bulging inside.
Puff!
A black tentacle covered in slimy mucus suddenly ripped through the clothes and emerged from the sleeve.
Puff puff puff puff! ! !
Then came four more sounds like water breaking, and four tentacles suddenly emerged from either side of the old nun.
Hehehe...
Old Ni slowly lay down, like a giant eight-legged spider. With a snap, his head twisted around, yellow slurry dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his pale eyes focused on Han Yi.
And the fleshy ball next to her.
At this moment, another strange change occurred. Its body continued to grow larger, and layers of purple spots, like terrifying compound eyes, covered its entire body.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
It had already transformed into a colossal creature, its body covered in bizarre, rotting flesh, and as tall as a three- or four-story building.
"Lian Chengzi..."
As he watched the scene unfold before him, Han Yi's face darkened completely.
At this time of year.
How could he not understand?
The one-armed old nun in front of me was not a deformed person at all.
They are fundamentally protectors who have long prevented the world from deteriorating further.
I foolishly fell into someone else's trap.
Moreover, it's an incredibly simple trap, like a child playing house, so obvious that it's a trap at a glance!
It was simply out of trust in Lian Chengzi and the Demon Saint Palace.
Only when they were certain that their existence could not be discovered by this world did they step inside, only to be led by the nose into the trap.
Star-Locking Array.
If it wasn't a problem with the Star-Locking Formation, then there must have been a mistake when Lian Chengzi sent him to this world.
Han Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He has a strong urge right now.
He wanted to return to the North as soon as possible, find Lian Chengzi, and question him about what he had done.
