A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 594 Return
After a difficult trek, the group finally crossed the altar square and returned to the place with the lake and sea of ​​flowers.

Within this ruin of gods and demons, everywhere was filled with scattered rocks and collapsed structures, but this place alone had become a small sea of ​​flowers amidst the ruins, like an oasis in the desert, making the group feel refreshed and relaxed.

The rich floral fragrance filled their nostrils, and they couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

Du Wan reached out and stroked the flower bushes, picking a few more red arrow flowers and pinning them to her bodice. It was now the return journey, and they all seemed to be in good spirits, following Du Wan's example and picking a few red arrow flowers as well…

Just then, a face with features as clear as glass suddenly appeared in the pale yellow sky above.

That transparent face filled the entire sky, slowly emerging from the heavens...

As this eerie, large face appeared, a solemn sound, like the grandeur of a great bell, resounded throughout the entire ruins, like the chanting of Buddhist hymns filling the sky.

"Divine and Demonic Heavenly Sound!?"

Everyone looked on in astonishment, and the flower they had just picked fell to the ground...

The appearance of the Divine Demon Heavenly Sound meant they were about to enter the Divine Demon Illusion again. Unexpectedly, this second Divine Demon Illusion arrived so quickly; they had barely left the central altar when they encountered it.

Guo Tian and the others couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Duan Rong, who was standing there.

According to the rules of the Divine Demon Illusion Realm taught by Lin Youjian and Liu Su during their training, their second Divine Demon Illusion Realm will most likely involve entering Duan Rong's obsession.

Because in the first illusion of gods and demons, which was in Jiang Hanyan's obsession, everyone was ordinary, except for Duan Rong, who showed extraordinary ability and temperament. He was obviously chosen by the will of gods and demons as a seed candidate to obtain the mark of gods and demons.

Those chosen by the will of gods and demons will be directly entered into their obsessions in the next instance to further verify whether they are qualified to receive the mark of gods and demons.

Duan Rong was only slightly taken aback. The next moment, his eyes turned into strange glass-like shapes, shimmering with a dim silver light, as if they were covered with a layer of mercury.

The instant a silver glint flashed in Duan Rong's eyes, ripples spread outwards from Duan Rong, like waves, in the space around him...

As the ripples spread outwards in concentric circles, the surrounding scenery began to blur and shift, breaking into fragments that danced and dissipated like drifting catkins, vanishing into thin air...

The old scenery fades away in circles, while the new scenery slowly solidifies and stabilizes...

In just a few breaths, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment.

Everyone stared in astonishment as they examined the objects before them.

Duan Rong looked at the extremely familiar scene before him and collapsed as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water!

The cubicle, the desk, the black-screen computer, the filing cabinet, the water dispenser, and right next to it was his own workstation, even the stains on the broken keyboard were exactly the same.

Damn it! How did we end up back in the office area of ​​my previous life on Earth?!
Seeing these things reminded him of his past life as a cow or horse, and he immediately felt a sense of disgust towards all the items in front of him.

These things all reek of the smell of a factory worker… How can someone who hasn’t worked in years stand it?!
Guo Tian and the others were completely bewildered. In Jiang Hanyan's mind, what they encountered was a scene from the Nine Provinces world, where bandits massacred villages. Although it was cruel, they could still understand it. But the scene they saw was completely beyond their comprehension.

Du Wan suddenly looked at the smooth, shiny floor beneath her feet and exclaimed in amazement, "What material is this floor made of? It's so shiny it reflects your image! It's practically like a piece of jade!"

A hint of doubt flashed in Du Wan's eyes. The floor beneath her feet was clearly not jade, but it had the delicate texture of jade.

"What is this? It's so cute!" A pretty female voice rang out.

Su Xinjue suddenly turned around and picked up a high-quality replica of a Lina Belle doll from the table next to her, her girlish heart instantly stirred.

Having grown up in the world of Kyushu, she came from a wealthy family, but had never seen such a toy before?
Su Xinjue was so captivated by Lina Belle that she didn't even notice the bodycon skirt and black stockings she was wearing.

Because she suddenly spoke, everyone's eyes turned to her.

The moment Guo Tian and Du Wan turned around, their eyes immediately widened, as if they had been frozen in place.

When had they ever seen anything so amazing in the world of Kyushu?!
Moreover, Su Xinjue's body is mature, voluptuous, and alluring. In the world of Kyushu, the relatively loose and conservative clothing was fine, but now, she is wearing a bodycon skirt, black stockings, and high heels, with a tight-fitting suit jacket on top, which exposes her curves without any restraint!

A sudden silence fell over the surroundings. Guo Tian and the others swallowed hard, the sound of them swallowing was surprisingly loud even to themselves!
Although Duan Rong was used to seeing this kind of OL uniform temptation, Su Xinjue's figure was indeed amazing, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances, but he didn't lose his composure like Guo Tian and the others.

Su Xinjue turned her head and looked at Guo Tian and the others, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. She wondered why Guo Tian and the others were all staring at her so intently.
She wondered what had happened, but when she looked around, she found that there was no one else there except for them.

"What happened?"

Just as she was wondering, Jiang Hanyan suddenly snorted and picked up a blanket from the chair next to her, wrapping it around Su Xinjue's plump waist.

Su Xinjue then looked down and couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" Her face immediately turned as red as a peach blossom.

In the world of Kyushu, this kind of clothing is even more revealing than what prostitutes wear!
Jiang Hanyan, on the other hand, was fine, wearing jeans and a white shirt.

Duan Rong stood behind Guo Tian, ​​his eyes flickering slightly. He suspected that the clothes worn in the Divine Demon Illusion were somewhat related to one's personality. The will of the gods and demons had seen through each other's nature and thus revealed it in the illusion.

After Jiang Hanyan wrapped the blanket around Su Xinjue's waist, a look of disappointment flashed across everyone's faces. Du Wan sniffled; to be honest, he almost had a nosebleed just now.

As a rich kid who had a history of stealing dogs and fighting cocks in his youth and had no good upbringing, he had been to many brothels and pornographic venues. But this kind of bodycon skirt, black stockings, and high heels still saw right through him!
It's just too exciting!
Jiang Hanyan glared at everyone speechlessly, then looked at Duan Rong and asked, "Where exactly is this place?"

Upon hearing Jiang Hanyan's words, everyone realized what was happening and turned to look at Duan Rong.

They, too, harbored many doubts!
The scenery before them was completely unfamiliar! They even looked at each other and found that they were all dressed in strange clothes, with a strange ribbon hanging around their necks that looked like the tongues sticking out of the Black and White Impermanence.

They were drawn into Duan Rong's obsession. Only Duan Rong could answer these questions for them.

Duan Rong felt a pang of unease as he looked at the gazes directed at him. He couldn't very well tell them that this was the Blue Star where he had lived in his previous life.

Duan Rong hadn't expected that the will of gods and demons would directly transport them to the scene of his past life on Earth. At this moment, thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to figure out how to explain this situation!

Just as Duan Rong hesitated and struggled with his decision, Du Wan and Lu Chu opposite him both changed their expressions drastically, turning pale instantly, and shouted: "Corpse Fiend! It's a Corpse Fiend!"

The others were also greatly shocked!
At the far end of the corner, a figure turned around from another office area, dressed in a white shirt, black trousers, and a tie.

Everyone had already experienced the power of the Corpse Fiend. Not only was it impervious to blades and spears, but it was also adept at flying and could spew poison gas, making it extremely formidable! Moreover, at this moment, they were empty-handed and had no weapons in their hands.

Even Duan Rong's soul-binding techniques are useless within the Soul Illusion Realm. If they were to encounter the Corpse Fiend here, wouldn't that be suicide?!

Just as everyone was in a panic, Duan Rong also turned his head and looked at the so-called "corpse demon" with astonishment.

That was Luo Zhiwen, the manager of Blue Star Company in his previous life. But now, his eyes were gray and cloudy, as if covered by a white film. His whole face was dry and rotten, and there was a big hole in his right cheek, with a piece of flesh hanging there...

The moment Duan Rong turned his head, he froze. He never expected to see Fatty Luo again in this magical realm of gods and demons, especially since Fatty Luo had turned into a zombie!

They are zombies, not corpse demons!

The misunderstanding arose simply because they had never seen a zombie and had recently been attacked by a zombie demon.

Seeing that everyone was in a panic and wanted to scatter like birds and beasts, after all, Duan Rong's soul technique could not be used in the illusion space, and they had no weapons. Under such circumstances, facing the corpse demon, if they stayed together, they could easily be wiped out.

“That thing isn’t a corpse demon! It doesn’t have much attack power!” Duan Rong suddenly said.

"Not a Corpse Fiend!?" Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions eased. After all, this was within Duan Rong's obsession, and Duan Rong naturally knew the situation better than they did. More importantly, they also realized that Corpse Fiends could fly, but this thing had walked out, and it walked with a limp, which was quite eerie.

Luo Zhiwen's zombie body stiffened, and only then did he finally turn his head completely, finally seeing everyone. Upon seeing living people, a dry, hoarse roar immediately came from his throat, and his legs swung in a strange manner as he charged towards the group.

Su Xinjue and the others turned pale instantly. Although they knew it wasn't a corpse demon, the fact that such a terrifying thing suddenly rushed towards them made them tremble with fear. If Duan Rong hadn't been standing there steadily, they would have really run away!

Duan Rong looked at the zombie's face, a feeling of disgust flashing through his mind. He suddenly kicked it, sending the charging zombie flying backward and crashing to the ground with a thud.

"Huh! That thing looks pretty weak?"

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The thing looked terrifying, rotting and frightening like a corpse demon, but Duan Rong kicked it away with one foot, showing that it was nothing to be afraid of!

Du Wan couldn't help but laugh and said, "It does look quite creepy, but it's far inferior to that Corpse Fiend."

Duan Rong said, "Corpse Demon is an evil spirit. This thing is at most just an ordinary person who has been mutated."

"An alienated ordinary person!?"

Everyone pondered Duan Rong's words. Having just entered this unfamiliar space, they obviously needed Duan Rong's explanation to understand this place in order to survive. After all, death in the Divine Demon Illusionary Realm was also real death!
The zombie was kicked to the ground by Duan Rong, but it struggled to get up. However, its body was stiff and it was difficult to get up for a while. When Duan Rong saw the zombie struggling, he suddenly pushed over a filing cabinet next to him, which hit the zombie's legs and waist.

The zombie was immediately pinned to the spot, its hands flailing wildly, emitting dry, hoarse roars, but it could not move.

Duan Rong suddenly stepped over the filing cabinet and prepared to go to another office area. This was where he worked in his previous life, and he knew the environment here all too well. There was a fire cabinet over there, and inside the fire cabinet was a fire axe.

Duan Rong glanced at the zombie on the ground and was about to walk over there when, as if remembering something, he suddenly turned to look at Guo Tian and the others and said, "This thing is called a zombie!"

"Zombies!?" This was the first time Guo Tian and his group had ever heard of this name.

Duan Rong said, "They are infected humans."

"Infection?" Guo Tian's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by infection? What did you get infected with?"

Duan Rong's expression hardened. He felt that this explanation would never be clear, so he changed his approach and said, "It's poisoning!"

"Poisoned!?" The first thing that appeared on Guo Tian and the others' faces was an expression of understanding.

Duan Rong continued, "After being poisoned, these people began to turn into zombies! They are no longer human, or rather, they are mutated humans."

At this moment, everyone finally understood the meaning of Duan Rong's previous words.

Duan Rong said, "I'm going over there. You all stay here and don't go near the zombies. If you get bitten by a zombie, you'll get infected with the virus..." Duan Rong paused slightly, then immediately corrected himself, "You'll be poisoned! This poison is incurable. Those poisoned will quickly turn into zombies!"

Everyone shuddered upon hearing this. This poison was contagious?!

They stared in terror at the zombie that had been smashed against the filing cabinet! Nobody wanted to become one of those horrifying, disgusting things.

Seeing that they were all keeping their distance, Duan Rong felt relieved and walked to another office area, smashed the fire cabinet there, and grabbed a red-painted fire axe in his hand.

He walked back, clutching the fire axe, and looked at the zombie that had been smashed by the filing cabinet.

Although he had become a zombie and his face had become dry and rotten, Luo Zhiwen's face from his previous life could still be roughly recognized. People who could become managers in the insurance business were generally shrewd and had their own methods. He had also exploited him a lot in his previous life.

Having lived two lives and experienced life and death in the Nine Provinces world, Duan Rong was no longer filled with joy or sorrow upon returning to his previous life. The trivialities and conflicts of his past life had long since vanished like smoke!

Duan Rong glanced at the zombified Luo Zhiwen, then suddenly grabbed the fire axe and chopped off half of the zombie's head with one blow!
Thick, green brain fluid flowed onto the ground, and the severed half of the skull swayed on the ground like half a coconut...

Upon seeing the scene of brains splattering everywhere, Su Xinjue immediately turned pale and felt nauseous.

Guo Tian and the others also looked grim, their eyes filled with suspicion as they looked at Duan Rong.

Duan Rong, holding a fire axe, said calmly, "To kill zombies, you have to slice off their heads to kill them instantly!"

The crowd looked at the greenish brain fluid, and their expressions were not good. At this moment, they gradually came to understand that zombies were actually a kind of monster.

Du Wan laughed and said, "This thing moves so slowly that even if you cut off its head to kill it, it's still pretty weak! It's just disgusting to look at, but it's not dangerous at all!"

As Du Wan spoke, a relaxed expression appeared on her face.

Duan Rong looked at Du Wan and asked in return, "Is that so?"

Du Wan looked at Duan Rong's somewhat mocking expression, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, and said, "What? Didn't you take care of one very easily just now?"

Duan Rong didn't speak, but walked to the French windows not far away, pulled open the curtains, and said in a deep voice, "Then take a look outside before you speak!"
