More than 100 kilometers away from the Eternal Tower.

Ye Bai moved slowly along the forest path, his steps light and almost silent.

As he reached a fork in the road, the shadow beneath his feet began to distort.

Shadow Nine surprisingly made a rare appearance!

"Kid, there's something I need to remind you of."

Ying Jiu's tone was very serious, lacking its previous languidness.

"The area you're about to enter... is very different."

Hearing Ying Jiu's reminder, Ye Bai looked ahead.

[Ahead: Eternal Forest]

[The most devastating battlefield on Earth, where countless heroic souls rest in peace]

The supreme powerhouse, Nightmare, paid a tremendous price to alter the rules of heaven and earth in this place.

The spirits of fallen human heroes cling to their relics, and when a destined person arrives, these spirits will be awakened.

[Defeat the relic, gain the approval of the obsession, and you can take it with you.]

Ying Jiu repeated the same information to Ye Bai.

"Senior, if I understand correctly, each person can only take one item, right?"

That's how it should normally be.

Ying Jiu patiently explained,

"These relics are ordinary in themselves, but due to the modification by the Nightmare of the Supreme Being, they have become equipment of considerable quality. Each person can only take one piece of equipment from here."

"At the same time, many obsessions stem from hatred towards demons, and they tend to target those with high talent and potential."

Listening to Ying Jiu's introduction, Ye Bai nodded slowly.

If this is the case, people with high-level talents will face several powerful choices.

People with very little talent may end up achieving nothing.

"Generally speaking, this kind of exercise is held as a graduation exercise after the summer camp training ends."

Ying Jiu remarked with emotion, "Judging from this, it seems that Project Dawn has been launched."

"Project Dawn?"

"Yes, Project Dawn is also known as the Darkest Project. Someone at summer camp will explain the details to you."

Ying Jiu steered the conversation back on track.

"The main point I want to make to you is that, because of your situation, cough cough, you know it yourself."

Ying Jiu knew Ye Bai's true identity perfectly well, but the two of them had never revealed the final secret.

"Many pieces of equipment will actively choose you, or rather, no piece of equipment will refuse you. As for which one to choose, that's up to you."

Ye Bai asked, "Where are the two supreme experts from before?"

"Wuhen took a sword, and Xiaoyao took a set of bells and drums."

Shadow Nine transformed into black mist once more, sinking into Ye Bai's shadow, leaving behind a single sentence.

"I'll help you cover up the movement of your equipment, so don't worry."

"Thank you, senior."

"Remember to send me the photos after this is all over."

Ye Bai: ......

This old guy still remembers the dark history of the Nightmare of the Supreme Being.

After figuring out his situation, Ye Bai carefully tidied his clothes, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.

As Ye Bai crossed a certain line, the Eternal Forest, which had been silent for nearly thirty years, seemed to come alive in an instant.

Countless birds took flight, circling above the Eternal Forest.

A white cloud slowly descended, covering the forest as if it were obscuring something.

A shadow remains in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north.

When the unusual activity in the Everlasting Forest became apparent, the Shadows were the first to notice it and began to move.

Purple smoke rose, and a young man dressed in black and purple appeared, looking in a certain direction—the place where Ye Bai was.

"He's here."

The young man raised his hand, revealing a number printed on his right glove—seven.

Shadow Seven!

...

The blue shadows cast by the sky on the water's surface rippled, and a clear, watery sound emanated from them.

"Isn't this a bit too early?"

Shadow Six!

...

The bamboo grove swayed, revealing green shadows, and the voice sounded as innocent as a child's.

"It's definitely him. Only the entry of a supreme seed into the Eternal Forest could cause such an anomaly!"

Shadow 5!

...

The shade of the trees shifted slowly with the sunlight, a touch of green shadow mixed in, and the sound carried a hint of sadness.

History always repeats itself...

Shadow 4!

The Shadow-level powerhouses, number four, five, six, and seven, all appeared simultaneously!

They have only one mission—to guard the Everlasting Forest!

This was once the front line of battle, and if the Abyss Plane wants to launch a counterattack, this is also the first choice for breakthrough!

With only four people stationed there, forming the only line of defense, they intercepted and killed the monsters that strayed into the Blue Star, demonstrating the terrifying strength of the four!

When they appear simultaneously, it signifies either that humanity is facing its most critical moment, or it's the current situation:

The most powerful seed has entered the Eternal Forest!

Shadow Six spoke first.

"Is the one protecting Shura the Eighth Brother or the Ninth Brother?"

All eyes turned to Shadow Four; they had never actively sought out this information.

"Ninth Brother, Eighth Brother has something to do and has gone to the Abyss Plane."

Shadow Seven glanced in a certain direction and said coldly, "Want to take a look?"

"You'll die."

Shadow Five let out a loud, booming laugh.

"Xiao Qi, you're still too green."

The reason why Ninth Brother is Ninth Brother is because he only wants to be Ninth Brother, not Big Brother.

Do you understand my explanation?

A flash of cold light appeared in the forest as Shadow Seven pulled out half of a short blade.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Fifth Brother. I'm wondering if I can improve his ranking."

Shadow Seven snorted coldly.

"After all, it took me less than 10 years to become Shadow Seven, and I'm not entirely satisfied with that speed myself."

Shadow Five, as if he had heard a joke, let out that strange laugh again.

"Xiao Qi, if you were truly capable, you wouldn't have become a 'shadow' now."

These words seemed to touch a nerve with Shadow Seven, and he pulled the short blade out a little further.

brush--

The bamboo grove swayed continuously, casting sparse, green shadows.

"That's enough!"

The highest-ranking, strongest, and most senior Shadow Four roared.

"The supreme seed has arrived. You don't actually think we're the only ones who noticed, do you?"

The four of them looked up at the sky at the same time, where a white cloud drifted lazily.

Apart from this white cloud, the sky was clear and cloudless.

The four of them simultaneously reached the same answer—the supreme powerhouse, [Xiaoyao]!

Of the three supreme experts, Xiaoyao is responsible for guarding the Eternal Tower.

The Eternal Forest is located beneath the Eternal Tower; Xiaoyao can see it simply by looking down.

The arrival of Shura naturally did not escape the eyes of the other party.

This white cloud represents the will of freedom.

"Everyone, you can leave now."

After saying that, a wisp of green smoke dissipated, and Shadow Four was the first to leave.

Ying Qi snorted coldly, put the short blade back in, and turned into purple smoke as he left.

Shadow Six arrived gracefully and left quietly, its blue shadow disappearing into the ripples of the water.

Only Shadow Five remained in place.

After the other three left, the bamboo forest suddenly shook, and bamboo leaves fell like rain, leaving only bare bamboo in place.

Whispers drifted from the green shadows among the bamboo grove.

"Little Seven... has gotten stronger again..."

"As expected of the prodigy who was hailed as the closest to the strongest ten years ago."

"I can't wait to see Xiao Qi and Shura meet. Will they fight?"

The bamboo forest fell silent once again, without a sound.

...

Eternal Forest.

As soon as Ye Bai entered the forest, he immediately heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Big White, over here, I'm over here!"

Zhao Lin stood next to a tree and waved to Ye Bai.

"Where did you get this fruit? What are you doing standing there?"

Ye Bai approached and found Zhao Lin eating a green oil fruit.

"I failed the test machine and have to stay here for fifteen minutes."

Zhao Lin took a fruit out of his pocket and tossed it to Ye Bai, then pointed to the tree next to him.

"These fruits are from the tree; eating them will give you energy! They're great; I'll pick a few more for you later."

It's not unusual to find such rare fruits on the outskirts of the Eternal Forest.

Ye Bai looked at the tree and casually said,

"Oh, the remains of an Abyss Demon War King are buried beneath this tree, which is why its fruit can enhance one's spirit."

"What?"

Zhao Lin stopped chewing, spat out the food residue, and asked in confusion,

"Big White, how did you know?"

"It says so here."

"Where is it? I can't see it."

Zhao Lin scanned the tree but found no explanation.

Ye Bai gave Shadow a wink, but Shadow Nine didn't react.

finally,

Lines of writing appeared on one side of the tree, recording its story.

"That's true!"

After reading the words on the tree, Zhao Lin angrily threw the fruit on the ground, smashing it to pieces.

He also snatched Ye Bai's fruit back and smashed it along with the fruit.

"Pah! Even a dog wouldn't eat that kind of stuff!"

Zhao Lin took a bottle of water to rinse his mouth, looking extremely angry.

The demonic war king from the abyss invaded Blue Star, first killing two human war kings, then being besieged and killed, causing huge casualties to the human race.

Ultimately, it became fertilizer for the trees.

Zhao Lin was unable to express his contempt for such a being in words.

Even after doing all this, Zhao Lin was still not satisfied.

"Ahem, Big White, can you keep watch for me?"

As he spoke, Zhao Lin began to unbuckle his belt.

Ye Bai: ? ? ?

Turning his back, Ye Bai heard the sound of flowing water behind him.

In a flash,

Ye Bai felt as if he had returned to the bathroom in his high school.

"I'm all better."

After Zhao Lin finished releasing the water with precise precision, he even remembered to invite Ye Bai.

"Why don't you give it a try? It'll really make you feel better!"

"No, there's no need for that."

Ye Bai replied in a serious tone,

"I'll leave mine to the Demon God."

Shadow Nine: ......

You can chat all you want, but could you please move your body and shift your shadow a bit?

Water...it's flowing over...

They repaid kindness with enmity; that's the case.
