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

"Um... I haven't tried it."

Yin Mengyao was stunned.

Do calamities have souls?

Without a doubt, of course!

Aside from the unique nature of the [Slaughter] path, even the strange chunks of flesh in [Chaos] possess souls, albeit relatively distorted ones.

The other three paths are even more obvious.

However, there is no precedent for using the "Floating Life Hundred Aspects Picture" to preserve the soul of a calamity.

This calamity is even at the pinnacle of [Chaos].

Xu Xiaoan's situation is not optimistic, so temporarily storing her in the "Floating Life Picture" is obviously the most appropriate choice.

Once you enter the mental world she has created, the state of your soul will be solidified.

If it were a broken state like Xu Xiaoan's, she could even choose to spare some of her mental energy to allow it to slowly recover.

"Shall I give it a try?"

Yin Mengyao understood that since Jiang Mian had asked the question, he wanted her to give it a try.

That just so happens, she was also curious about whether it would work out.

In any case, the capacity limit of the [Floating Life Hundred Aspects Diagram] is only related to her mental power, unlike the Spirit Contract which has a fixed number of slots and doesn't come at any cost.

Jiang Mian nodded, thanked her, and handed her the black bead in her hand.

Just as she was on her way, she discovered something astonishing.

Although Xu Xiaoan looked to be in extremely poor condition, due to his own characteristics, he actually began to merge with the death mark.

Moreover, even the [Eternal Day] power that was opposing it also joined the fusion process!

What does this mean?

The three opposing forces of water and fire were actually managed to be twisted together by the power of [Formless]!

If it succeeds, what kind of thing will be formed?

However, even if Xu Xiaoan can achieve reverse attribute fusion, if he continues, his soul will be constantly worn down during the fusion process, and eventually degenerate.

This has led to the current situation of level regression.

If Yin Mengyao solidifies his soul state without stopping the fusion process, perhaps after some time, we will see the birth of a completely new peak.

To be honest, Jiang Mian always felt that while the basic stats and abilities of [Formless] were indeed lacking, its versatility was simply too incredible.

If it weren't for the fact that it was born at the wrong time, the fact that it has no limit to fusion would be extremely terrifying.

She slightly loosened some of the permissions granted to the [World] to ensure the smooth operation of Yin Mengyao's domain.

With a slight thought, Yin Mengyao slowly created a "door" surrounded by silver light.

She was about to take the beads and step inside when she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Jiang Mian.

"Do you want to come in?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian trembled almost imperceptibly.

"Going to that godforsaken place again?"

Out of consideration for her pride, she didn't show it, but hesitated for a moment before nodding.

It's not like I'm experiencing a completely new life, so it shouldn't matter, right?

The two of them passed through the "door" one after the other.

This time, there was no pulling sensation like last time; behind the door was just a completely dark corridor.

Jiang Mian looked around and saw several strips of tape stuck to the wall, divided into sections, each with a blank image inside.

Yin Mengyao raised her hand and threw the beads into one of the "rollers".

A line of small text slowly appeared above:

World generation in progress...

Seeing this, Jiang Mian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why is this font exactly the same as the one I saw during the upgrade?

Also, is this how the solidification of the soul is achieved?

No wonder it's called "The Hundred Faces Picture"...

If Yin Mengyao wants to see what she went through inside, she can probably find out from here, right?

Jiang Mian became increasingly wary. What would happen if they were seen?

I might as well find a block of tofu and smash my head against it!

"Oh, right."

Sensing that the solidification process had begun, Yin Mengyao turned around and asked:

"What's the situation outside?"

Jiang Mian briefly recounted what had just happened.

The probing of the River of Oblivion, the appearance of You Hui, the two eighth-tier [Nightmare] beings, Xu Xiaoan's encounter, and...

Her identity was exposed in the land of the calamity.

"that's all."

After Jiang Mian finished speaking, she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall of the corridor.

I feel like I need to hold something in my hand to fit the occasion, or maybe I should buy some lollipops?

Yin Mengyao was stunned for several seconds after hearing this.

Sure enough, even the calamity didn't believe that Jiang Mian would really be with Ye Chenyang.

"So what do you plan to do?"

The mission that Wangchuan sent to Jiang Mian was to kill Ye Chenyang and Yin Mengyao.

It just so happens that they're all on our side, but that's precisely the most troublesome part.

"What if she reveals your identity and attracts those high-ranking seniors to take action against you?"

However, Jiang Mian gave a strange smirk.

"If it can be negotiated, a peaceful resolution is of course the best option."

With Ye Chenyang as guarantor, and by tentatively revealing their identities to a small number of people, they gradually expanded the scope.

This is a relatively mild approach.

Humans have a strong capacity for acceptance.

Accepting a "doomsday" scenario that favors humanity shouldn't be difficult; any normal person would know how to choose.

I'm afraid of encountering extremists, and some people with ulterior motives.

Even if they were captured, Hongliu and Xuanhuang would not just sit idly by.

Therefore, Jiang Mian decided to prepare an escape route in advance and has already begun to deploy defenses.

Firstly, the torrent is allowed to cruise high in the core area, ready to strike at any time.

With its current strength, it is more than capable of brewing a thunderstorm that spans several base cities.

There are invisible limitations in the high altitude of this world, firmly sealing off the path to the universe.

Even though high-level beings have the ability to travel through the void, they still cannot enter the universe.

Perhaps only by coming into contact with the ninth rank, like the first generation of [Eternal Day], can one break through that limitation.

The height of the "Eternal Light" is also limited; the area between it and the celestial barrier is the best place for the torrent to brew thunderstorms.

Secondly...

Xuanhuang should have arrived by now, right?

……

Base City No. 1, deep underground.

This area is located at the bottom of the lithosphere, where temperatures are extremely high.

However, one being ignored the intense heat and swam peacefully.

The rock armor on Xuanhuang's body had now completely transformed into purple crystal, with red patterns shimmering inside, as if it were absorbing heat from the surroundings.

It seemed to sense something and raised its head, its gaze seemingly penetrating the soil to clearly see the bustling city above.

"This is it!"

The central urban area of ​​Base City No. 1!

Xuanhuang let out a low growl.

Immediately afterwards, the invisible "waves" propagated rapidly along the rock strata.

Centered on it, the surrounding rocks began to crystallize and spread rapidly outwards.

As the most powerful being among the earth element [Calamity], it can be undetectable even by the current ruler if it so desires.

What it needs to do is to guard this place as a last resort.

If anyone tries to kill the Overlord, this base city will experience an unprecedented "earth dragon reversal".

……

Yin Mengyao opened her mouth slightly, but for a moment she was speechless.

"She's gone mad! This woman has gone mad!"

It seems she's really angered this time.

The people who should be most worried are not Jiang Mian herself, but the high-ranking officials who are about to be "tested" by her.

After a long silence, Yin Mengyao finally spoke:

"Have you considered what Ye Chenyang would think of your plan?"

She knew that this guy was Jiang Mian's only limiter right now, and if he...

"hehe."

Jiang Mian chuckled lightly and said confidently:

"He will understand me."
