The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Chen Guan gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain churning in his mind, and forced his eyes open amidst this devastated mental ruin.

The world before my eyes was filled with bizarre and constantly distorted afterimages.

Chen Guan continued to compress the spiritual energy he had just gathered, regardless of the consequences.

"I will concentrate all my mental energy to one extreme point, and carve a path through this vast ocean of despair to find that core that only knows how to radiate instinct."

"As the strongest demon god, I'll leave my mental world to you."

"Who said they were going to help?"

Barr gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

He now understands that Chen Guan had intended to drag him down from the beginning, because he existed within Chen Guan's spiritual space.

The enemy has already reached our doorstep. There's no other way; we have to help, whether we want to or not.

Chen Guan ignored it and condensed all his extremely compressed mental energy into a sharp, long needle that was invisible to the naked eye.

Just as those blood-red, negative emotional illusions lunged at him again, he manipulated the long needle of mental energy, piercing straight into the densest part.

The illusions representing destruction around me began to twist and deform violently, and countless empty wails were amplified tenfold in an instant.

Invisible resistance pressed in from all directions, threatening to crush this audacious intruder into dust.

Despite the excruciating pain that felt like it was churning his brains, Chen Guan continued to advance step by step.

"Keep going. As long as we follow the direction of the strongest resistance, we can find the central point of this immense will."

He kept repeating this clear goal in his mind.

Chen Guan gritted his teeth and stubbornly trudged through this boundless ocean of malice.

He used his mental power to pierce through the false illusion of the sea of ​​fire, and mercilessly cleaved through the bone hill blocking his way.

Every step forward required immense mental effort from him, but he never paused for a moment.

"We're almost there."

Chen Guan keenly sensed that the resistance ahead was beginning to undergo a fundamental change.

The incessant wailing around him gradually subsided as he passed through the last barrier of black mist, revealing a clearing ahead.

"I found it."

Chen Guan's voice, filled with excitement, controlled his battered spirit body, hovering over the edge of that empty space.

At the center of this desolate space, a huge sphere floats silently.

The surface of the sphere is covered with intricate patterns of black and red, like a beating human heart.

Each time it contracts and pulsates, it releases a visible black ripple outwards.

The muffled heartbeat you heard at the top of the tower was probably coming from this strange thing.

"This is the true origin of this mutilated body."

Barr's voice unusually carried an undisguised surprise.

"You actually braved the storm and found its Achilles' heel."

Chen Guan's gaze was fixed firmly on that slowly beating, enormous heart.

"Now, it's my turn."

Just as the edge of his mental energy touched the outer periphery of the core.

The heart that had been beating at a regular rhythm suddenly stopped beating completely.

The originally smooth surface of the sphere began to cave inward over a large area.

A long, narrow, and eerie crack slowly spread outwards from the center of the core.

A massive amount of malice poured out from that crack.

"Kid."

Baal gasped inwardly.

"You seem to have completely woken this thing up."

"Your mental strength is no match for it. You'd better retreat and save your life."

Barr felt he had made all the conservative decisions he would ever make in his life today.

Each wash of the black mud eroded spiderweb-like cracks into Chen Guan's spiritual body, and a slight breeze would have completely shattered him into nothingness.

He ignored Baal's advice and instead forced himself to stand upright in the mud.

"I've already walked right up to its weak point, and you expect me to back away with my tail between my legs?"

He responded in his mind, enduring an oppressive aura that could drive anyone mad.

"Do you think I came down here for sightseeing?"

Barr was so angry at his words that he jumped up and down.

"I think you're just tired of living!"

Chen Guan smiled as he looked at the surging darkness ahead; he had always been very adaptable.

"Fortune favors the bold. With such a great opportunity right in front of me, it would be a real shame to miss it after all this hard work."

Chen Guan focused all his attention on the enormous object in front of him.

What was deep within the crack left him no room for further discussion; an even greater will surged through the black mud and drilled directly into the depths of his mind.

It was a chillingly pleasurable feeling.

Chen Guan was forced to look down at the blue planet beneath his feet from a completely new perspective, watching skyscrapers crumble under the giant claws.

Chen Guan saw how easily this body had crushed a vibrant city, and how countless humans had run and pleaded in the blood-red sea of ​​fire.

The sensation of a desperate soul sliding down one's throat is so sweet that it makes one sigh involuntarily. It is a supreme experience that transcends all worldly desires, attempting to dismantle one's ego little by little.

Baal began to jump around in Chen Guan's mental space.

"Kid, wake up! Don't let this feeding instinct corrupt you!"

"This is our most primal pleasure; once you become addicted to it, you'll forget that you're human."

"You think you're controlling it, but actually it's assimilating you!"

An unnatural red tinge appeared in Chen Guan's eyes. He looked down at the edge of his mutating spiritual body, where tiny black tentacles had already grown.

"This feeling is really great."

He laughed out loud in his mind.

"No wonder you demons are always thinking about carrying out terrorist attacks."

"The thrill of taking everything from someone else without having to follow any rules is really addictive."

Baal's voice was clearly anxious, and the abnormality of the coffin was crystal clear to him.

"You're still making sarcastic remarks; your true self has already begun to be eroded."

"Before you're completely assimilated, quickly sever your mental connection with that black dot."

He emphasized, "I am now mobilizing my remaining strength to protect your spirit. This is your last chance. Listen to my advice."

Chen Guan shook his head, ignoring the voice in his ear.

"I don't want to give up."

"Besides, I don't think this mutilated body is as terrible as you say. It's just a stupid thing that only acts on instinct."

As he spoke, he pushed his cracked spiritual body forward an inch.

Barr was absolutely furious with him.
