Wu Xianxiao agreed to Vesperion's request.

As long as he can return to the real world, he will definitely bring Vesperion with him.

Next, Wu Xianxiao obtained a detailed map from Vesperion that came from the prophecy. The places where the remnants of the Seven Towers were located were marked out on the map. Through this map, one can almost reach the Forbidden Land of Gluttony where the Empire is located.

"Saints, be careful. The Seven Towers are the most terrifying among all the lands because they directly use the power of the Origin Level. Although this is invincible, it will also quickly become polluted and corrupted, and then turn into a natural disaster. This is why the Seven Towers were jointly wiped out before. Unless you sublimate yourself, you will be irresistible. Remember this."

Wu Xianxiao already knew this, and when he was consumed by lust, he was almost driven into despair.

The characteristics of the root-level pollution did undergo a qualitative change all of a sudden, and were completely different from all the pollution properties he had faced in the past. It was a difference that transcended levels, and he really could not resist it now.

"After falling from the real world and the emergence of the extraordinary, life is divided into three levels: ordinary life, sublimated body, and root. The three are in a relationship of sublimation of essence. When they are one level apart, it is still possible to win the battle, but when they are two levels apart, it is really a difference between heaven and earth. It is similar to the difference between a real person and a fictional character in a novel. The dimensions between them are different and there is no comparison at all. This is why you can defeat the golden body arhat, but you will be in danger of falling if you face the slightest pollution of the root."

Beelzebub was telling Wu Xianxiao all this information along the way. She said, "Only when there is a level between us can we fight against it. For example, in my vaguely recovered memories, there seemed to be a sublimated body in the Heaven Court that defeated an origin-level being. Of course, that was an act of insubordination. In the civilization of the Heaven Court where rules are greater than heaven, the end of this sublimated body was horrible. It seemed that it was skinned and its life essence was refined into a pill."

Wu Xianxiao rushed forward quickly and asked, "How do you become a sublimated body? What is the essence of a sublimated body?"

Beelzebub said: "There are two ways to become an ascended body. One is to follow a supernatural system all the way, and then after reaching the limit, you will receive the gift of the root of this supernatural system, and give its root artistic conception to achieve sublimation. The other way is to reach the limit of this supernatural system, and then break the limit by yourself, thus becoming a sublimated body."

"As for the nature of the sublimated body, I haven't recovered much memory. I only know some of the definitions. You can refer to them yourself. They are flawless, flawless, one and the same, and self-circulating. Once you reach this step, you will become a sublimated body."

Wu Xianxiao memorized this information carefully, and then he recalled the time when he put the Golden Body Arhat into his sea of ​​consciousness. It was washed away by the negativity of his mind to its final essence. It was a round golden elixir, incredibly tough. The last part had a sense of perfection, and it remained strong for a long time even in the infinite negativity of the sea of ​​consciousness. At that time, he had some ideas.

As he spoke, Wu Xianxiao led Beelzebub forward. His body had now been fully recovered, and after the second physical cleansing after he became indestructible through martial arts, his body had redeveloped, and his skin, muscles, meridians, bones, and internal organs were almost brand new. His blood and energy were so rich that he didn't seem like a human. In the dream world above 0.7, just in terms of the physical body, he could be called a land immortal.

With such physical fitness, he can run forward at a normal and stable speed of about 3,500 meters per second. If he runs forward explosively, he can maintain a stable speed of about 4,500 meters, and he can run at a speed of six or seven hours at a time before becoming exhausted.

Because he had a map and Wu Xianxiao did not bring Jiujiu and Daphne with him, he traveled very quickly. Even though this world was vast and had jungles and mountains, he arrived near the capital of the empire in more than five hours. From here on, it was the Gluttony Forbidden Zone.

Wu Xianxiao did not rush in immediately. When he stood at the border, he felt a palpitation, the same feeling as when he faced lust. Then, based on this premonition of danger, he explored deeper little by little, and tried to find the characteristic feature of gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins of life, and then let Beelzebub see it so that she could remember more things.

There was nothing special to see in the wilderness, not even a single human being. Wu Xianxiao went inward based on his premonition of danger. He advanced about five kilometers, but his premonition of danger did not improve much.

At this moment, he saw a foreign object in front of him. It was a wriggling ball of fat, about three meters high, crawling on the ground. More than ten limbs could be vaguely seen, but there was no human shape at all. The fat ball was crawling on the grass, and everything was gone wherever it crawled, including the grass and all kinds of insects on the grass. Then the fat ball crawled towards a big tree.

"Is gluttony a resident evil?"

Wu Xianxiao murmured as he watched the ball of fat climb up the tree and easily swallow up the entire tree from the roots to the crown. Faintly, the ball of fat had a green and plant fiber color.

"...No, it shouldn't be that simple." Beelzebub was also confused. Judging from the picture alone, this was a physical deformation of the flesh, which was much inferior to lust in terms of style. The erosion of lust already involved the infinite cycle of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the philosophical concept. Gluttony, which was also one of the seven deadly sins of life, shouldn't be so different, right?

Moreover, Beelzebub had a vague intuition that even if all the seven deadly sins were combined, her true form would at least be one of the best, on par with Pride (Lucifer) and Wrath (Satan), and even faintly surpassing them in strength.

Shouldn't it be this weak?

Wu Xianxiao did not comment. He watched for a while, and when he saw the huge green fat mass crawling towards another tree, he shook his head slightly and said, "Let's continue to go deeper. I don't feel a strong sense of danger now. Let's wait and see. Tell me when you have new memories."

After saying that, Wu Xianxiao continued to go deeper into the restricted area. Because of his martial arts intuition, he was able to control the distance of contact with gluttony pollution, so there was no danger along the way. However, along the way, he basically saw groups of fat balls, the big ones were seven or eight meters in diameter, and the small ones were three or four meters in diameter. They were all rolling around in the grass looking for plants or other insects and animals, but from here on, the land inside was barren. "Is it really a biochemical crisis?"

Wu Xianxiao frowned. He couldn't believe it, because the threat of death that his premonition of danger felt was no less than the lust he had felt before, and was even slightly stronger. The most important thing was that the feeling he felt from his premonition of danger was very strange. He had an inexplicable feeling, which seemed to be something more terrifying and terrible than death...

At this moment, Wu Xianxiao and Beelzebub saw a huge fat ball with a diameter of thirty meters. This ball was moving rapidly on the ground in a rolling posture. It not only swallowed all plants and insects, but also other fat balls. Its size became larger and larger.

"…The second stage." Suddenly, Beelzebub said this in a completely unfamiliar and indifferent tone.

Wu Xianxiao frowned and quickly looked at the big fly and asked, "What?"

"What what?" Beelzebub asked in confusion.

Suddenly at this moment, Wu Xianxian's brows twitched, and he stepped back more than two thousand meters. That was not all, he continued to retreat a full twenty or thirty thousand meters. Then in the next moment, this huge fat ball exploded. It was not as he imagined, with pieces of meat and internal organs flying around, but specific lives bursting out from this huge fat ball.

There are people, cows, sheep, horses, chickens, dogs, cats, a large number of trees and plants, and many insects. And there is no distortion in any of their appearances. They are all independent lives.

But before Wu Xianxiao could feel any doubt, these individuals that fell to the ground began to devour each other. Cows, sheep, and horses devoured each other, chickens, dogs, and cats devoured each other, humans devoured each other, and insects and plants devoured each other. In addition, humans made the sounds of cows and sheep, insects made the sounds of cats and dogs, and trees and plants made the sounds of humans. Various animals and plants grew unusually large mouths from their bodies and chewed each other. You devoured me, I devoured you. Soon, there was no difference between them, and they turned into a pool of rotten meat that kept wriggling, devouring, and growing...

"I, I remembered!"

Beelzebub screamed loudly, "Of the seven deadly sins of life, the essence of lust is the endless cycle of self-satisfaction and dissatisfaction, while the essence of gluttony is the endless cycle of decay and rebirth. All lives contaminated by gluttony will never really die. What can be called gluttony? It's not about never being satisfied, but about never devouring everything. Anything eaten will live forever with the devourer, whether it's an animal, a plant, an insect, or even a microorganism or a bacterium. Even if it's divided into one centimeter, one millimeter, or one cell, it will live in the sense of life, and then mix with all the lives of gluttony, an endless cycle of decay and rebirth, an endless cycle of eating and being eaten!!"

"This is the second stage. The third stage is corruption. Flies and insects are born. These flies and insects are their sins. All life will be eaten by flies and insects while they are still alive. Then the flies and insects will turn into all of them who eat them. The cycle of life and matter will last forever..."

Beelzebub's voice became increasingly indifferent and unfamiliar, and when he mentioned the word eternal life, it was as if he had transformed into another kind of life.

Wu Xianxiao flicked Beelzebub lightly. The big fly shook for a moment, then screamed, "Why did you flick me again?!"

Wu Xianxiao looked at the terrifying "eternal life" scene in front of him, and he subconsciously retreated ten thousand meters. Then he said: "Do you remember now how to break the corrosion of the seven deadly sins of life?"

Beelzebub then sensed something was wrong. She was silent for a moment, then took a breath and said, "Just now I... Forget it, don't criticize me in the future. What is your sleepless aura for? Try shining it on me. But I really remembered how to solve the problem of lustful corruption. You can do it now, but it's very dangerous. You can decide whether to implement it or not..."

"Lust is an endless cycle of self-satisfaction and dissatisfaction. It is essentially a level lower than my gluttony. To save the life form that has been corrupted by lust and sublimated, you need to break the cycle!"

"This is also the essence of all roots, an essence that sublimated bodies do not possess, a cycle, an infinite closed loop of self. As long as you can break the cycle of lust's self-satisfaction and dissatisfaction, then you can save the life corrupted by lust. Others can't do it, but you may be able to do it. After all, Yaoyao is a fool with a love brain..."

Wu Xianxiao was immediately delighted and asked quickly, "How did you do that?"

Beelzebub seemed to be holding back a smile as he said, "Save Yaoyao, and then break through the surface with a point. As for the rescue method..."

"With the help of Heaven, Yin and Yang will be in harmony!"
