Eternal Night

Chapter 363: A Deal and the Arena of All Worlds
"……interesting."

The shadow did not fly into a rage, nor did it even threaten anyone. It just thought for a moment and then said the word "interesting".

Wu Xianxiao stopped talking and continued eating his food.

The shadow suddenly laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid? Are you bargaining with me in my field, or do you think that the games you have experienced are the entire reality of this playground?"

"of course not."

Wu Xianxiao raised his head and pointed at his own eyes and said, "I can see the third level of reality, some kind of embodiment of death, right?"

The shadow seemed to be stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You overestimate me, it's just a manifestation of a certain aspect of death. Maybe you think it's the god of death? Or something? No, no, no, this is real death, it's death itself. Even if it's just a manifestation, it's not something you can touch now, so it's still the same question, aren't you afraid?"

Wu Xianxiao picked up a bottle of beer and drank it in big gulps. After finishing it all, he burped and stood up and said, "Don't be afraid...you're too close to me."

The shadow didn't say anything, but there were signs of the shadow on its body spreading slightly. At this moment, Wu Xianxiao suddenly had a terrible premonition of threat in his heart, and he used the Super Brain World without thinking.

In an instant, the world turned black and white, and in this super brain world, Wu Xianxiao saw the reality of the shadow. It was a symbol, a symbol, a graphic, an abstract concept... He could not describe it accurately, but he knew that this was the core of this amusement park.

Then he looked at this thing in the Super Brain World. He thought about it and did not really punch it. Instead, he blew at the thing. Then he sat down again and unlocked the Super Brain World.

All of this was naturally unknown to the outside world. Everyone saw Wu Xianxiao stand up for a moment, then sit down again. They were all puzzled. Only then did the shadow shrink suddenly, and all the shadow auras that spread out disappeared. The shadow also fluctuated for a while, and then the shadow said, "...What did you just do?"

Wu Xianxiao did not answer, but just said: "Come on, try to threaten me again."

The shadow fell silent, and Wu Xianxiao didn't care. He turned around and started eating and drinking again.

After more than ten seconds, the shadow laughed and said, "That's great! With your strength and personality, you will definitely kill a lot of lives in the future, and the quality of their lives will definitely be very high..."

"What's the intelligence?"

The shadow stopped laughing and said, "I am just a tiny manifestation of one of the countless profiles of death. Because of the characteristics of this place, I have intelligence, so I naturally want to become stronger and gain more authority over death. Therefore, I need higher quality souls, the more the better, but I have nothing to give you. What I think is a treasure is a deadly poison to all of your lives. So, how about I trade with you for intelligence?"

Wu Xianxiao frowned, but unexpectedly Beelzebub reacted strongly and said, "Promise it!"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned, but he still didn't say anything. He just looked at Beelzebub.

Beelzebub immediately said, "Death knows the most real information in this world. Have you forgotten the description of the Whispering Skull? As long as this transaction is true and credible, you will definitely not lose anything, because you will not be able to gain any benefit from those dead people themselves."

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said to Shadow, "But I don't believe you, because even now, you still have ill will towards me."

The shadow was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Because you are a life. Death treats every life equally. This malice is actually the attitude of death towards life, but it is just malice from the perspective of life."

Wu Xianxiao did not comment. He thought for a moment and said, "This deal seems to be beneficial to both of us, but I still say that I cannot trust you. What if you give me false information? Or if a small piece of information requires me to give you 10 million or 100 million lives, then wouldn't I be working for you for nothing?"

The shadow immediately said, "That's easy. I will swear an oath to the source of my power. Similarly, you can swear an oath to your true source."

Wu Xianxiao looked at Beelzebub, who immediately said, "This is feasible, just like the Mastermind Contract. In fact, the Mastermind is your true origin, and its origin comes from death. This is the highest level of oath. Unless it is the origin of deception, fraud, and lies, this oath cannot be revoked once it is made."

Wu Xianxiao didn't trust the shadow, but he did trust Beelzebub, so he nodded to the shadow and said, "Okay, let's make an oath. From the lives I kill, you can pick the souls you think you need and bring them into the playground. Then how should I ask you for information? How should I compare it with the value of the soul?"

Shadow thought for a moment and said, "I will set a reasonable evaluation number for these souls. The number for each soul is different. The higher the level of the soul, the higher the number. Then, these numbers will be deducted according to the value of the intelligence you want to inquire about, and then..."

The shadow paused and said to Wu Xianxiao: "You have a rare item related to the field of death. You can take it out and give it to me. I will set up a death node for it. This way, it can receive the elite souls of the lives you killed, and you can communicate with me through this thing."

Wu Xianxiao took out the whisper from his personal space without thinking. Sure enough, when he took out the skull, he didn't know what the shadow did, the skull floated up out of thin air, and then black gas came out from its eye sockets, making it look spooky.

After doing all this, the shadow took the lead and said, "I, the master of the Death Playground, swear by death and make a contract with the life in front of me. He will give me elite souls. After I evaluate the value of these souls, I will answer the information and questions of equal value."

Wu Xianxiao also spoke up: "Mastermind, let's make a contract. I, Wu Xianxiao, make a contract with the master of the Death Playground. He can choose the souls of all the lives I kill, and then answer my questions based on their value." "Judgment in progress... Judgment completed."

"One thousand points have been deducted."

"A contract has been made with the master of the Death Playground."

The voice of the mastermind rang in Wu Xianxiao's mind.

At the same time, the shadow seemed to have sensed something. It was silent for a while and then said, "...Amazing truth, is it actually like this? No wonder..."

Wu Xianxiao looked at it with doubt, and the shadow paused and said, "This is extremely valuable information. It requires at least 50,000 soul points. According to the value of one soul point for an ordinary elite, you need to provide me with 50,000 elites, so I definitely can't tell you this... But since we have reached a transaction agreement, I can tell you a piece of news for free."

Wu Xianxiao nodded slightly, and the shadow said, "My Death Playground is not fixed here, but it echoes in the death of the Ten Thousand Worlds. There are two reasons why it appears here. The first reason is that there has been a great degree of death fluctuations around here, and there are a lot of high-level lives that have died. The Death Playground is attracted here. Not only is my Death Playground attracted here, but other special symbols in the Ten Thousand Worlds are also attracted here, and they are stacked around here. I think if you go to the surrounding worlds, regions, or scenes, you should have a deep understanding of it, right?"

Wu Xianxiao narrowed his eyes, thought of last weekend, and nodded slightly.

"The second reason is that part of the truth has been pulled into the illusion. In terms of time, every reality is slowly falling down, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of years, or even longer. Moreover, the part of the truth that has fallen down is extremely large. For any origin, special existence, special world, region, or scene, this is an extremely precious thing. We are instinctively attracted to it and gather here. The closer we are to this part of the truth, the more special the scene becomes."

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said, "This means that the next weekend scenario will be more difficult, right?"

Shadow said, "I don't know if it's more difficult, but it's definitely more special than my Death Playground, and... do you call this area we're in 'Weekend'? Interesting... It's really interesting. This reality is really interesting, much more interesting than the dozens of realities before I became conscious, and the three realities after I became conscious!"

"I look forward to my dealings with you... the real part."

As the voice rang out, everything in front of Wu Xianxiao began to become illusory.

"A part of the truth... does it mean Chu Minghao? Then why is it calling me a part of the truth?"

Wu Xianxiao's mind was full of question marks, but he had no way to ask the master of the Death Amusement Park. He could only wait until he had killed enough lives and collected enough soul points before asking.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed."

"Citizen Wu Xianxiao has left the second weekend scene and is being pulled towards the target weekend scene. He is still one weekend away from the target."

Wu Xianxiao appeared in the void again, and everything around him had disappeared, including the more than sixty humans.

He once again left the weekend scene and stepped into the next weekend scene.

"This is the last weekend scene. Next we will go to the area where Chu Minghao is."

As Wu Xianxiao was speaking, the void in front of his eyes quickly changed, a white light appeared, and then Wu Xianxiao stepped on a huge marble rock.

In front of him was a huge ancient Roman-style Colosseum, which was as big as at least thousands of football fields put together. It was surrounded by rows of huge steps, and the steps were filled with all kinds of different lives.

At this moment, in the arena, a huge red dragon that was a hundred meters long was fighting with a blood-red rabbit wearing a cloak and standing upright like a human.

"Welcome to the Arena of All Worlds!"

A voice suddenly appeared in Wu Xianxiao's mind at this moment. If the voice had not been different, Wu Xianxiao would even have thought that this was the information released by the main brain.

"You can get everything here: money, power, treasures, life, strength... The only thing you need to do is one thing..."

"Alive, victorious!"
