Survival in Sequences: Eighteen Years Old, Slaying Monsters Like Horses

"You're insane!" Si Zan's voice suddenly rose, his remaining broken hair stood on end, and for the first time, an undisguised fear appeared in his snake eyes.

"You want to take control of the magic circle? That's not yours! It belongs to my master—"

"Your Lord gave it to you, but now it belongs to me!" Xu Si interrupted him, because he had already gained control of the magic array.

His five fundamental principles are all complete, and his understanding of the principles is unparalleled by any other.

Si Zan could only activate the Myriad Manifestations Return to Nothingness Formation in a simple way, while Xu Si could control it.

"You, you, you..." He had already sensed that the Myriad Things Return to Nothingness Formation had slipped out of his control.

Actually, there was no need to feel it, because the golden net had already been removed from Xu Si's head and was now safely in his palm.

While Si Zan was dumbfounded, he began to suspect that the human in front of him was clearly an incarnation of a god, rather than a divine messenger; otherwise, he would never have been unable to fight back.

That was the sense of powerlessness he only felt when facing the gods.

"You are not a divine messenger... Who are you? Are you the God of Creation? Or the God of Order?"

He had completely given up resisting. After Xu Si shattered most of his golden snake hair, only sparse strands of hair remained hanging on his shoulders. His elegant snake tail had also lost its original strength, like a fish dragged ashore, helplessly slapping the void.

Xu Si did not answer.

He looked down at the quiet golden net of light in his palm, a strange light flickering in his eyes that he himself was unaware of.

The Law of Wisdom.

This was the first time he had truly touched upon the realm of the gods.

He could even sense that it contained a self-contained power structure independent of the five fundamental laws.

"I have a few questions for you."

You'd better answer truthfully.

Si Zan's lips twitched slightly.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he only managed to squeeze out one word: "...ask."

The situation is forcing us to act.

"How much do you know about the other divine messengers?"

Si Zan's snake tail swayed weakly in the void, and a bitter look appeared on his face, which was so perfect it was almost unreal.

Having suffered such a complete defeat, he shed his previous air of composure, revealing his weary and genuine inner self.

"Other divine messengers?" He repeated Xu Si's question, remained silent for a few moments, and finally spoke.

"There are three divine messengers like me under Lord Viser. I was the first to be sent, and I don't know when the other two will arrive."

"But they will use this magic circle as a coordinate. This magic circle not only conceals this place, but it is also a void coordinate set up by Lord Viser."

His desire to cooperate with Xu Si was merely a delaying tactic.

Once the other two divine messengers arrive, Xu Si will be completely at their mercy.

"Three?" Xu Si noted the number down in his mind.

"What about the other deities?"

"I am not aware of the deployment of the other deities, but they will at most send out three divine messengers."

"Why is that?" Xu Si pressed.

Si Zan raised his dim, vertical pupils and glanced at Xu Si, a self-deprecating smile curving his lips.

"You don't even know this?" He paused, as if weighing whether Xu Si truly didn't know or was testing him.

But then I thought, if the other party can easily take away even the Void of All Things, there's no need to pretend on such a common-sense issue.

"Because the capacity of the Chosen Battlefield is limited. Nine is the ultimate number, and a small world can only hold a maximum of nine level-nine life forms. If this number is exceeded, the clash of the laws of power will trigger an uncontrollable chain reaction of collapse. What the adults want is to select a true successor to the divine position, not to destroy a small world."

"Furthermore, divine messengers are not sent out casually."

"Nine?" Xu Si's brows furrowed slightly.

He quickly calculated in his mind that, as far as he knew, there were currently three vacant divine positions, excluding the God of Plague.

If all the other deities send three messengers each, that would be fifteen, which still far exceeds the small world's carrying capacity.

"That's why the final election is the most brutal!" Seemingly noticing Xu Si's confusion, Si Zan explained.

That's why he wanted to live a lowly life.

"The final selection will begin when all nine divine messengers are present, or when the adults deem the time right."

"The rules are simple—of the nine divine messengers, only the last one alive can leave this battlefield."

"What if you quit halfway through?" Xu Si asked.

"Quit?" Si Zan let out a short, almost mocking laugh.

"You think this is a tournament? This is a Gu cauldron. The adults throw us in, close the lid, and then wait. When only one Gu worm remains in the cauldron, that Gu worm will be the most promising new god."

"What I don't understand is, since no level nine life forms have been born yet, why has the final selection already begun?"

Si Zan searched the planet Earth again and again, but he still couldn't find the native.

This was also his first mission upon arriving on Earth: to nip humanity's hopes in the bud.

Xu Si's starry eyes narrowed slightly.

"So you want to hide," Xu Si said.

"Yes, I wanted to hide," Si Zan admitted without hesitation.

His snake tail began to sway slowly again, his posture more relaxed than before.

"I don't want to die. But I'm powerless. I've been powerless ever since Lord Viser chose me."

It's clear that Yizan is tenaciously fighting to survive.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't get any information about the other divine messengers, and Si Zan genuinely didn't know either.

He had already roughly assessed the strength of these divine messengers.

If they don't use the trump cards bestowed by the gods, their strength will be about the same as his before.

Xu Si was also hesitant about how to deal with Si Zan.

Let's take it down, it's a bit of a waste!

If he doesn't kill it, he doesn't have any means to control a level nine life form right now.

"You probably don't want to be the first divine messenger to fall, do you? Give me a reason not to kill you!"

Xu Si's strategy of turning the tables has proven successful time and again.

"You absorbed a large portion of my laws, and even stole the magic array. I don't know what I can give in exchange for my life?" It was clear that Yi Zan was unusually clear-headed.

"Well..." Xu Si could only feel embarrassed.

"If you would grant my request, sir, I may serve as your servant!"

Even now, he still believes that Xu Si is the incarnation of some deity.

Although Xu Si wanted to accept it, it was really difficult for him!

From Si Zan's perspective, he was facing a deity who could hold the power of life and death over him at any time, so he would never think of voluntarily handing over his lifeline.
