Throwing a steel coil at supersonic speed with one hand, you let me travel through the heavens!

A gentle evening breeze was blowing.

After upgrading his talent, Wei Qingzhou leaned on the railing and looked out into the darkness. There was not a single light in sight below the mountain.

"If it weren't for the apocalypse, the scenery here would be quite nice."

"Let's go back..."

"The only thing I can do is to do everything in my power to stop the evil god from descending."

"July 20th, the final deadline!"

Wei Qingzhou gripped the railing tightly, then turned and left.

For the next few days, he planned to stay at home and frantically grind his stats.

Before that, Wei Qingzhou approached Yang Xi and briefly explained the upcoming arrangements.

Actually, it was nothing much; everything remained the same, and the Holy Maiden continued to be in charge of all church affairs. However, he instructed Yang Xi to inform all believers of the specific time of the next Night of Gluttony in the form of a prophecy.

As for the taboos of the Night of Gluttony, everyone in the Steel Scroll Cult knows them.

On the night of gluttony, no one is allowed to go out. Everyone must stay indoors with doors and windows tightly closed, and no one is allowed to look up at the sky!

then.

During the day, Wei Qingzhou would watch the Sky Rift Abyss to improve his mental attributes and hone his willpower. He would also restore his sanity through meditation, repeating this cycle repeatedly. At night, he would train his body in the gym of a detached villa, lifting weights, bench pressing, squatting, deadlifting, dumbbell rows, etc. He would use the most basic compound movements to squeeze every muscle in his body dry.

Next, it's time to drink protein powder!

Protein powder!

Protein powder!

It's tedious, arduous, and repetitive.

A few days later, the Night of Gluttony arrived.

The Sky Rift resembles a gaping maw, with an enormous tongue slowly descending.

Steel Coil directed the response early on: everyone returned to their homes, doors and windows were closed, curtains were drawn, diesel generators were shut down, candles were forbidden, and no noise was allowed.

The entire villa area was as quiet as a ghost town.

Only one black-haired boy stood on the third-floor terrace of the villa, fearless, looking up at the sky.

Just like the description in the black notebook, the giant eyeball of the Sky Rift disappeared, replaced by a huge tongue that slowly descended. On the tongue, there were taste buds as big as billions of mountains wriggling. The taste buds extended into tubular mouthparts that spread in all directions. At the end of the straw, there were huge hands that grabbed and scooped up whatever they could find and stuffed it into their mouths.

Binge eating!

This is definitely binge eating!

Wei Qingzhou didn't dare to look directly at the giant, hanging tongue. Instead, he stared at the large hand at the end of the tubular mouthparts. Then, his gaze seemed to be glued to it, and his mental energy was constantly being drawn away.

The enormous, towering tongue was devouring his vision and his mental energy.

"See? See? This is a true connoisseur!"

"To feed on planets, how audacious!"

"Is this the seductive voice described in the black notebook? Now it seems it's nothing special."

Wei Qingzhou was startled but not flustered. His sanity began to drop, but his consciousness was no longer what it used to be.

Two legendary objects of faith, suspended above the sea of ​​consciousness, began their attack in the face of the pollution from the colossal tongue hanging from the sky.

The Night of Gluttony is the best training ground for willpower. It is more potent and polluting than the Sky Rift during the day. If you can withstand it, your [Mental] attribute will improve by leaps and bounds.

Now, he uses the evil god's large eyeball to hone his will, but he can only increase his mental attribute by 1 point at a time.

However, the Giant Tongue of the Night of Gluttony can increase his Spirit attribute by 4 points!

Moreover, Wei Qingzhou had an even more important goal—

Let your spirit shine outward!

The black notebook described the benefits of mental projection. Wei Qingzhou had tried to achieve mental projection on his own, but ultimately failed because it was too difficult.

By using the enormous tongue that reaches the sky, one can directly project one's mind outward, much like cheating.

It's like having a peerless master help you open up your Ren and Du meridians.

Danger and opportunity coexist!

The next morning, dawn broke, marking the end of the night of gluttony.

The colossal tongue that seemed to hang from the sky retracted into the chasm of the heavens, and one after another, large eyes opened, casting an evil gaze upon the world.

Wei Qingzhou awoke from his meditation, his sanity value was restored to full, and his [Spirit] attribute successfully increased by 4 points.

"Express your spirit outward!"

He tried to separate his mental energy from his body, which resulted in the formation of a 360° field of vision similar to divine consciousness, with a diameter of about one meter.

Through this field of vision, he can perceive the scene behind him, as if he has an eye on the back of his head.

"It's pretty good. It has a bit of the divine sense from cultivation novels, but the range of perception is still too small. It would be better to enhance the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth to strengthen the five senses."

Wei Qingzhou withdrew his outward-directed spiritual energy and focused it on his ears and eyes.

In an instant, his eyesight improved and his hearing became more acute.

He heard the wind, the sound of flowing water, and a suppressed sob coming from outside the detached villa.

"Hmm? Something seems to have happened."

He went downstairs, left the villa, and came to the main road, where he found Yang Xi and the Steel Scroll Cult.

Turning his head again, Wei Qingzhou's expression hardened as he saw that the original six-story villa in the distance was now just a huge pit.

At the bottom of the pit were broken pipes and shattered concrete foundations, with several uprooted trees lying around them.

Yang Xi walked over and said in a deep voice, "The A8 villa, along with the several cult members living inside, were all taken away by a giant hand last night."

The implications of being arrested are self-evident.

Wei Qingzhou shook his head slightly and remained silent.

He had no choice.

Faced with the immense power of the giant tongue that hangs down to the sky, what use would it be to throw eighty steel coils, or even eight thousand?

Even if you brought all the world's existing nuclear weapons and bombed them all at once, it would probably only give the giant, overhanging tongue a free cleaning.

This is the chasm between evil gods and mortals!

The difference is huge!

He didn't say much, but simply asked Yang Xi to tally the number of casualties, arrange for supplies, and appease the followers.

to be frank.

In Wei Qingzhou's view, this world has no future at all. The whole world is like a game instance, and the people and things in it are almost like NPCs.

The true "future" exists in the "past".

Wei Qingzhou turned and left, returning to the gym to continue grinding his stats.

Time flies.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

The boy stood in front of the full-length mirror in the gym, examining his physique. He had broad shoulders, a muscular waist, and an inverted triangle torso. His chest and abdominal muscles were already beginning to take shape. Although they weren't as exaggerated as those of a bodybuilder, every muscle was firm and powerful. Shirts that used to be a bit loose on him now fit him perfectly.

He has made tremendous progress in the past month, pushing his [Spirit] attribute to its limit.

Now, even if he stares directly into the giant eyeball of the Sky Rift Abyss, he will no longer faint. The mental pollution of the great evil spirit cannot make him lose his sanity.

At the same time, my fitness journey has temporarily reached a plateau.

Although his blue talent allowed his strength and physique to grow at a rate far exceeding that of ordinary people, muscle gain is ultimately a long physiological process.

Muscle fibers need time to repair, the nervous system needs time to adapt to new strength levels, and joints and ligaments need even more time to keep up with the rate of muscle growth.

The high-intensity, highly concentrated training has filled this previously empty bottle with water. Continuing to train is not impossible, but the efficiency will decrease and the benefits will become smaller, which is a bit of a waste of time.

Moreover, the frequency of gluttonous nights is increasing, from once every two weeks at the beginning to almost every few days now. Staying any longer will only increase the risk.

Wei Qingzhou even felt that the evil god wanted to devour the entire planet.

If that day comes, it will be the absolute end!

"It's time to go."

Wei Qingzhou did not say goodbye to Yang Xi, but simply told her over the walkie-talkie that he would be away for a few days.

immediately.

The boy brought up the system panel and chose to return to this world!
