Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

In Jiang Mian's perception, more and more people fell into a deep sleep without warning, lying haphazardly everywhere.

At first, they were all ordinary people.

However, as time went on, awakened individuals began to emerge among those who had fallen.

"Sister Qiuyu?"

Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at the tall girl in front of her.

"What's wrong...?"

Shen Qiuyu touched her forehead in confusion, suddenly feeling a strong sense of weariness, her eyelids too heavy to lift.

Jiang Mian quickly stepped forward to help him up.

As soon as they approached, her bracelet activated automatically, emitting a faint light that quickly enveloped the two of them.

"Thanks."

Shen Qiuyu struggled to muster her strength and managed to stand firmly, her eyes filled with gratitude and lingering fear.

If it weren't for the Radiant Crystal in Jiang Mian's possession, I would probably have been powerless against this mysterious mental attack.

Jiang Mian remained silent, extending his senses throughout the entire train, yet he did not detect any aura of calamity.

Only a few awakened individuals noticed the anomaly and hurried towards the carriages ahead to check the situation.

She looked out the window; outside was a thick, impenetrable darkness.

When the senses touched that almost tangible shadow, it was as if they were severed in mid-air.

It's impossible to determine whether the train is still running normally, or where it is now.

Moreover, the calamity continued to spread, separating each carriage piece by piece, intending to isolate the remaining awakened ones.

As the carriage was isolated, the area that Jiang Mian could perceive also shrank.

If it weren't for the layer of [Radiance] covering the vehicle's surface, darkness would have already invaded the interior.

Based on the previous attack and the current widespread psychological assault, it can be basically confirmed that it was the work of an "insider".

But the force outside the train...

Jiang Mian had encountered many [Chaos] calamities, so he could naturally sense that the shadow power outside came from the living calamity.

And it's at least level five!

Logically speaking, the Chaos Calamity was already a chaotic mess, and with the Formless One dead, it should be even more chaotic.

Even the spiritual [Wangchuan] cannot guide or integrate them across paths.

Where did it get its helpers?

"Sister Qiuyu."

Seeing that Shen Qiuyu had recovered somewhat, Jiang Mian said:

"Why don't you come with me first? After all, Brother Ye is on the [Radiant] path. In this situation, it's safer to stay by his side."

"it is good."

Shen Qiuyu's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't ask any more questions and followed Jiang Mian toward the carriage she had come from.

If Ye Chenyang still wanted to hide his identity, Jiang Mian definitely wouldn't do that. She would just take Shen Qiuyu to a place to hide until the incident was over.

But now, he doesn't even bother acting anymore. With Ye Chenyang around, he can just follow behind and pick up the kills.

As for why he helped Shen Qiuyu...

Ye Chenyang had told her that the growth of [Wangchuan] did not require devouring the core of the calamity or the flesh and blood of awakened beings, but rather collecting souls.

In theory, even high-level powerhouses will gradually weaken their souls after being taken into the "Other Shore" and entering its home field.

The longer the time, the more this is true.

If they don't rush out while they're at their peak, they'll eventually be drawn into the "river" and become nourishment for the "other shore."

Therefore, even though [Wangchuan] has not yet reached the sixth rank, it is already extremely terrifying.

Many of those who had fainted were no longer showing signs of mental disturbance.

They look alive, but they are actually dead.

The calamities that strike don't care about the identities of these people; as long as they can become nourishment for the "other shore," they are treated equally.

Jiang Mian didn't want to let someone she had just met fall into such a desperate situation.

Now that she has many ways to protect herself, she naturally has more confidence to act according to her own wishes.

It's just that Jiang Mian's current apparent rank is too low.

Perhaps fearing that it would be inconvenient for her to take action, or perhaps fearing that she would be wronged, Ye Chenyang came up with a way to cover it up for her.

As is well known, the growth of abilities is closely related to mental strength attributes.

So, it's reasonable that she, an "ordinary" [Eye of the Storm], would experience a little growth after merging with the solar imprint from [Eternal Day], right?

It's reasonable that we can draw upon some of the power of [Eternal Day], isn't it?

In any case, the first [Eternal Day] has already disappeared, leaving behind only [Eternal Light] before leaving, without explaining the details of the inheritance mechanism.

Since his power has returned, it means that he himself had already perished deep within the mist.

Rumor has it that the other party was already at the ninth level when they left, and there may be something even more terrifying in the deepest part of the mist.

Jiang Mian hasn't even reached the sixth rank yet, so she hasn't thought too deeply about it.

If that unknown thing could affect the present world, humanity would have disappeared long ago.

Now, as the sole holder of [Eternal Day], Ye Chenyang has the final right to interpret this power.

In other words, Ye Chenyang was willing to put himself completely in the public eye for her sake.

His brilliance was enough to completely overshadow all of Jiang Mian's abnormalities, giving her enough time to grow.

If those higher-ups were of sound mind, they certainly wouldn't have asked so many questions.

The stronger [Eternal Day] is, the stronger humanity becomes; that's the logic.

However, this makes him too dazzling, and with his imminent advancement to the fifth rank, he may very well pose a threat to [Wangchuan], making him its primary target.

Therefore, Jiang Mian's current apparent strength has reached the second tier, and after a period of time, he will naturally break through to the third tier.

Given the exceptionally high elemental affinity she displayed in front of Xiao Song, her subsequent "upgrades" will not be slow.

The two walked through three carriages without seeing a single awake person.

Among these comatose individuals, quite a few have awakened, with the highest reaching the third rank.

Jiang Mian had no doubt that even a fourth-tier cultivator could be affected by this invisible attack.

Suddenly, Shen Qiuyu stopped in her tracks, instinctively stepping in front of Jiang Mian, her body enveloped in a layer of fiery feathers as she warily looked ahead.

Jiang Mian shrank back obediently and followed her gaze.

A figure lying on the ground was seen swaying as it got up, twisting its joints strangely, and slowly focusing its gaze on the two people.

When that gaze fell on Jiang Mian's face, it clearly paused for a moment.

Behind him, the passage was blocked by thick shadows, obscuring what lay beyond.

Jiang Mian immediately understood that the unknown [Chaos] calamity had been divided, and the only way to pass through it was to use special means.

However, it is unknown whether this was a different adjacent carriage.

Who is the target? Ye Chenyang?

So what is this person here for?

She felt herself being locked onto by a strange spiritual force, but was blocked by the light emanating from the bracelet.

"Possession-type abilities?"

Just like the previous attackers, some intangible calamities do indeed possess this strange ability, but it is quite limited and cannot be sustained for long.

Wait, the attackers from last time?

It seems that's true; I was probably just an afterthought.

Seeing that his ability hadn't worked, the man rolled his eyes, as if trying to adapt to the body.

This body likely comes from an Awakened One from the [War] path; you can tell from the physique that the strength should be around the third tier.

However, Shen Qiuyu seems to have made some progress recently, and is now close to the third level.

Jiang Mian glanced behind her; the passage she had come from was also blocked.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she shouldn't need to do it herself...

From the shadows behind them, a gigantic black hand suddenly emerged, transforming into a blur as it slammed down towards them!
