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

"All right."

Wangchuan nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.

The three set off again, but this time, they soon arrived at the banks of a black river.

Ignoring the paper boats moored on the shore, Jiang Mian threw a silver flame into the river.

The moment it touched the river surface, the flames seemed to encounter oil, instantly spreading across the entire river surface and rapidly crystallizing, creating a mirror-like path.

"Silver...flames?"

Wangchuan's expression changed slightly as she couldn't help but recall the warning that Diaoling had once given her.

Unexpectedly, after going through such a long and winding road, "fate" ultimately led her to the same situation.

However, the outcome may change.

After all, with Jiang Mian's current strength, there's no need for him to lie to her.

"Okay, all done."

Jiang Mian strode forward, leading the way onto the crystallization path, and beckoned the two to follow.

The group quickly crossed the river and arrived at the outer edge of the flower field.

As far as the eye could see, everything was dominated by a vibrant red.

Jiang Mian glanced at it briefly and saw that the spiritual energy contained within was refined by Wangchuan and was quite pure.

Judging by the quantity alone, it's more than enough to feed several level 8 cultivators; it's unknown how much Yin Mengyao can handle.

She turned around, patted Yin Mengyao on the shoulder, and said:

"Sister Mengyao, you go first."

"it is good."

Yin Mengyao entered the sea of ​​flowers and threw out a silver flame that was exactly the same as the one from before.

The vibrant red was gradually devoured by the dazzling silver, transforming into strands of pure spiritual energy that converged towards her.

Under the impact of massive spiritual energy, Yin Mengyao's level quickly soared to the peak of the sixth rank.

But this was already the limit of what she could digest; the speed at which her mental energy was flowing in far exceeded the speed at which her appetite was growing.

If I want to continue absorbing, I'll probably have to wait a while until I've fully reached the seventh rank.

Yin Mengyao could only temporarily store her excess mental energy in the [Floating Life Hundred Aspects Diagram] and slowly release and absorb it.

Even so, she felt dizzy and throbbing, yet she was also unusually clear-headed, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

Once the [Floating Life Hundred Aspects Picture] was fully filled, Yin Mengyao dispersed the rampant Returning Void Silver Fire in the sea of ​​flowers and shook her head at Jiang Mian.

"Is that all?"

In Jiang Mian's perception, less than one-fifth of the flower sea had been lost, which was quite different from what she had imagined.

"Oh, you overestimate me."

Yin Mengyao helplessly shrugged and joked:

"I am, after all, just a weak human being. How could I possibly have the appetite of you, Lord [Apocalypse]?"

"Hmm...that makes sense!"

Jiang Mian naturally understood this principle; what she said just now was merely a casual remark, and she didn't force her to continue absorbing the knowledge.

"Alright then, you go back first, leave the rest to me."

After saying that, she looked towards the River of Oblivion.

The latter immediately understood and mobilized the power of "Other Shore" to "kick" Yin Mengyao away.

From then on, only two people remained in the sea of ​​flowers.

Wangchuan calmed himself down slightly, but his eyes still held a hint of urgency:

"【Doomsday】, can you tell me the answer now?"

"nature."

Jiang Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a line of small characters gradually appeared in his vision:

You already have a special object that you can control. Please select: Yes/No

Her quota of complete control had long been used up, and it had not increased even after breaking through to the sixth rank.

But as soon as she entered the "Other Shore," this option popped up and remained there, able to be hidden or reappear at her will.

The font is completely different from before.

Previously it was gray with a hint of gold, but this time it's a vibrant scarlet.

Clearly, this thing was made by [Red Moon].

His intervention likely stemmed from deeper considerations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian spoke:

"Wangchuan, without external intervention, we would have been locked in a life-or-death struggle."

"I know."

Wangchuan crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen, looked down at the ground, and offered no explanation.

Jiang Mian walked slowly to her side, carrying a faint but powerful aura.

"I will not deny what you have done, nor will I forget those you killed."

Wangchuan pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly to show his submission.

Jiang Mian let out a soft snort, and the oppressive aura emanating from him instantly lessened by several times.

She never considered herself a kind person, and as a "calamity," she had no obligation to seek justice for the dead.

But the empathy she felt as a human being was something she could never forget.

How many people like Gao Yi died in this seemingly trivial past?

There are countless.

"Instead of killing you, I will let you live on forever—to live for the order of the 'New World'."

Jiang Mian reached out and gently placed his hand on Wangchuan's shoulder.

"I will build a brand new 'Other Shore'. And you will be its manager, never to escape it for all eternity."

As soon as he finished speaking, a spiritual connection quietly entered Wangchuan's soul.

She did not resist, allowing the connection to take root in her soul.

It was only a few seconds, but for Wangchuan, it felt like years had passed.

As the pinnacle of [Nightmare], she has far greater control over her soul than ordinary people. She can clearly feel Jiang Mian gradually taking control of everything about her until she is completely unable to resist and becomes her subordinate.

The instant he gained control, Jiang Mian obtained all the information about the "Other Shore".

Before I could even examine it closely, the line of small, scarlet characters suddenly changed:

New skill acquired: [Dragon's Dream]

New Feature: Dispel Illusion.

"Um?"

She tilted her head. "They've already developed to the eighth tier. Can they even gain new skills by acquiring apex materials?"

This new skill has many effects, mainly dispelling illusions, constructing dreams, and switching between reality and illusion. In short, whatever Wangchuan has, she can now do as well.

It would have been a god-tier skill in the past, but now... it's somewhat useless.

After all, their main opponents right now are only Chu and [Broken], and mental attacks are of little use to them.

Let's not even mention the one above that; no one can beat it.

Fortunately, this domination has paved the way for a new foundation of laws.

Now, Jiang Mian can open up the "Other Shore" in the "World" and perfect the laws of the "Soul" and "Nightmare"!

"dominate."

Wangchuan bowed slightly to Jiangmian, seemingly still somewhat unaccustomed to his new identity.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Mian couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Once considered the most troublesome enemy, they have now become his subordinates.

She didn't mean to kick someone when they were down; instead, she casually sent Wangchuan a compressed memory file for her to process on her own.

"I'll start building the new 'Other Shore' now. You go inside and wait for instructions."

"yes!"

Wangchuan respectfully responded and obediently entered the "door" that Jiang Mian had forcibly opened.

The other shore returned to desolation and silence, with only the black river still churning.

Jiang Mian removed his disguise, his soul revealing its most essential form, exuding a terrifying aura of annihilation.

When a creature in this world dies, its soul automatically shatters.

Soul fragments and dissipated spiritual energy will be collected by the "Other Shore" and ultimately feed back into the origin of the main world, forming a virtuous cycle.

However, as the world gradually approaches its end, the recycling efficiency of "The Other Shore" has decreased significantly, and the recycling efficiency has also dropped sharply, even to the point of being almost non-existent.

The most direct impact is the emergence of those "secret realms" in the north.

Instead of letting it go to waste, let's provide material for the "other side" of the new world!

After all, the prototype of the "world" originated from this, and the "other shore" itself is a great tonic for her!

Moreover, this was something that Jiang Li and [Red Moon] tacitly agreed to.

They had already planned out Yin Mengyao's future upbringing, so Jiang Mian could just eat to his heart's content.

"Snap!"

The surrounding space suddenly emitted a shattering sound as it struggled to bear the weight.

Ignoring everything else, she continued to unleash the power of [Annihilation], instantly enveloping the entire sea of ​​flowers.

In the blink of an eye, the vibrant sea of ​​flowers vanished, leaving behind only a profound emptiness.

Not enough! Still not enough!

The instinct for annihilation utters a silent cry.

Jiang Mian no longer held back; his nebula-like "body" suddenly expanded, beginning to grow recklessly in the blood-red world.
