The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

This is also the name she gave herself: Rhythm.

This time, however, she will no longer have the ability to get up.

The last wisp of gas turned into a bubble and floated to the surface...

……

"Sorry, newcomer, you won't be allowed to interfere with this ceremony. This is our only chance to return to our hometown." The veteran with three rows of teeth suddenly blocked Xue Luding's path, pulled out a musket, and pointed it at Xue Luding's head.

He walked on the water as if it were flat ground. It wasn't just his three rows of teeth that made Xue Dinglu realize that he had many fish-like features, making him look like a human who had evolved directly from an aquatic creature.

"Don't think that just because you're a spellcaster outside, you can do whatever you want on the Death Cruise. Here, no matter who you are, you have to obey the rules of the Death Cruise!" he said, without any intention of attacking; the musket seemed to be merely a threat.

"So, you prepared this ritual to return to the real world?" Xue Dinglu asked.

“Indeed, this ritual is a mission that only teams that have completed nine death missions can take on, and it is also the only mission without any strange attacks. However, we must sacrifice four people to complete this mission.” He said, not even thinking that Xue Dinglu would change anything after knowing this information.

Perhaps he also wanted to stall Xue Lude, since that half-elf wouldn't last long.

"You know, many times, even though they've managed to complete the first nine death missions, many teams still fail in the final mission. This is because everyone wants to go home, and no one wants to become a sacrifice for the mission. As a result, the number of people killed by each other in the end far exceeds the number killed by the supernatural!"

"This is the biggest challenge of this mission. The difficulty lies not in the monsters, but in people's hearts."

He spoke without a trace of pity, completely disregarding the half-elf struggling and shrinking underwater.

"I don't care about this or that, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you." Xue Dinglu directly stretched out his hand, ready to slap him away.

However, in the next instant, the power of authority was suddenly bestowed upon him, and at that moment, his waving arm experienced an indescribable feeling of obstruction.

"Oh right, I forgot to remind you when I introduced it to you before, attacking teammates is forbidden in the mission world, that's the rule of the evil god!" He smiled, revealing all three rows of teeth.

His previous act of drawing his gun was purely because he took advantage of Xue's ignorance of this rule.

"Slap!" Suddenly, a slap landed on his face, the force sending him flying and crashing into the sea.

"Don't spout nonsense and insult my intelligence like this in front of me." Xue Dinglu strode away, ignoring everything else, and walked straight up to him.

If he can't attack, then he doesn't need to attack, right?

……

As her consciousness faded, the half-elf Rhythm felt her body gradually stiffen, unable to muster any strength...

Did he just die like that...?

Suddenly, a pair of outstretched hands stirred the seawater, and those hands were stretched out in front of me.

"Hold on tight!"

The voice came.

"I……"

When she saw this helping hand, for some reason, she just wanted to live, and she clung to that arm with everything she had to survive...

She gripped her arm tightly, overwhelmed by the joy of surviving the ordeal and the overwhelming gratitude for the helping hand extended to her.

"Thank you, thank you..." she said, wanting to hug the priest she had only known for a day. However, when she came to her senses, she realized why she could still speak in the water.

The half-elf turned around in terror, but she saw herself. She seemed to have completely lost consciousness and was being grabbed by countless large hands and pulled toward the abyss.

So, I'm already dead...

Just as she felt her soul being pulled apart, she suddenly heard a voice: "So your body and soul have separated, but it's not a big problem. I've brought another life with me..."

"Ah?" That was her last thought.

Xue Dinglu noticed that only one soul had been pulled up, but after thinking about it, he figured it wasn't a big problem.

For him now, physical death is no longer so serious.

However, that body cannot be wasted.

He immediately swam to the corpse and asked, "King of Mimicry, is the ritual only required by the corpse, or does it require the soul as well?"

“Nature requires a soul, so a body alone cannot meet the requirements of the ritual,” said the Mimic King. “However, I quite like you. This way of doing things really suits my taste. Therefore, I will take her into the pure land of the original body, where she will live a completely new life.”

“No need, I should have a way to revive her now. But let me ask you, if the soul and the body are different concepts, what will happen to the Seventh Apostle after the ritual is successful?” Xue Dinglu said, revealing his idea.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" The Mimic King felt his head was a little pointed.

“Since the ritual was wrong, let’s go for something drastic. The half-elf is the princess. Her father should be the Elf King. She is just an illegitimate daughter born to the Elf King and some human woman because of some illness.”

“According to the normal ritual procedure, the ritual will definitely fail if the order is wrong. But what if I forcibly insert the soul of a ‘prostitute’ into her body?” Xue asked.

Mimic King: "?"

He really felt that his head was pointy.

However, the computing power begins to calculate the results and predict the future...

"Indeed, if the body is that of a princess but the soul is that of a courtesan, calculations show a 98.7% chance of still meeting the conditions for awakening consciousness. However, it will have unpredictable consequences for the source of power: a 1.1% chance of the ritual failing directly, and a 0.2% chance of causing a backlash against the source of power..."

After calculating the mimicry of the King, he realized there was hope!

You're always coming up with something new!

Xue Dinglu laughed immediately; he seemed to have found a loophole in the Seventh Apostle's authority.

And this virus of mine is about to infiltrate your vulnerability, Seventh Apostle!

Innovation Century!

He usually only used the first beast of human evil, Goliath the Destroyer.

Now, it's time to bring out even more "beasts".

"Lilith, the second of the seven evil beasts of humankind, representing human lust, lewdness, and corruption, the most ancient and sacred artist in history, and the prototype of all succubi!"

A gigantic, succubus-like phantom appeared behind Xue Dinglu.

Chapter 452 Schrödinger's Law Remains Unaffected

The Seven Beasts of Human Evil, born in the Book of Job, are monsters whose origins lie in the seven evils of mankind. They also represent the complete opposite of the creation myth of God in seven days.

The first beast represents the wrathful destructive giant, whose prototype is Set, the great god of destruction in Egyptian mythology.

The second beast is the lustful mother goddess, whose prototype is the mother of the demon in Sumerian mythology. She later evolved into Adam's wife and then fell into the form of a succubus, which is the succubus that evolved in later generations.

The source of all seductive witches, succubi, prostitutes, female demons, banshees, and nuns is the second evil "beast" of humanity, named the Mother Goddess of Desire, which was born behind Xue Dinglu at this time!

This is the answer that Xue's Law devised with astonishing wisdom.

Since the ritual had already begun and could not be stopped, the solution was to find loopholes and exploit bugs. Xue Dinglu had been unable to find the loopholes before, but now he had found the problem.

Why not just replace the original half-elf rhythmic soul with the soul of a courtesan?

At that time, the ritual perception will be that of a "prostitute," but the actual body will not be. This is just like chocolate-flavored "excrement," which will surely give the Seventh Apostle a great surprise!

Even the very beasts of human evil could bring "Genesis" to an early end.

In the deep sea, this goddess of desire was fully revealed. Her skin was like a pearl soaked in milk and honey, radiating an eerie luster. A semi-transparent black gauze robe was casually tied around her waist, exposing large areas of skin as white as milk and almost glowing.

A pair of folded bat-like wing membranes are faintly visible from behind, with a faint rose-red edge. The most eye-catching feature is the graceful heart-shaped tail, which extends from the tailbone and is covered with a layer of delicate purplish-red scales, leaving a pale pink trail of light in the air.

This is the progenitor of all succubi, the most beautiful female creature born in the divine age of Earth.

He has always only used the Destroyer Titan, because the Destroyer Titan has the highest compatibility with Xue's Law. The other human evil beasts are really... hard to describe.

Just like this goddess of desire, the moment she appears, all living beings around her, whether male or female, will be bewitched, even the user herself.

However, Xue's Law remains unaffected; the power of nothingness automatically devours this useless waste, accepting all without exception.

In an instant, the soul of the Mother of Desire rushed into the sea and entered the body of the half-elf Rhythm. Then, the corpse seemed to come alive. She did not struggle at all, but gradually sank into the deep sea, revealing a lustful smile to Xue Dinglu.

Finally, the half-elf corpse carrying Lilith's soul disappeared into the deep sea, and a feeling suddenly came over me.

"It's done!" said the Mimic King.

"The prostitute's body and soul have passed the assessment and are now fully integrated into the ritual!"

This is the best news I've had since arriving here.

The "New Century," modified by the Mimic King, has now been successfully embedded into this world, even perfectly mimicking the original ritual of the Seventh Apostle.

"Can the remaining souls be replaced by the 'beasts' from your 'Innovation Century'?" asked the Mimic King.

Although it had seen this ritual before, it originally thought it was just a small ritual performed by some native god. But after watching it, it realized something was wrong. The essence of this thing seemed to be a ritual that completely elevated itself.

On this planet that possesses the fragment of the Supreme King, it seems that someone had already discovered the power to ascend to the status of a "Supreme King" and had begun to make arrangements, and this ritual was part of those arrangements.

In essence, it has become a third path in the two ascension paths: "simulating the behavior of the King in his lifetime to achieve ascension" in the Starfleet and "consuming the King's spirit to achieve ascension" in the Mist Council.

It is "imitating the seven-day salvation ascension".

Although this path cannot compare to the two already established paths, it is the easiest way to achieve ascension that the local creatures on a small planet in a remote galaxy have found on their own.

After all, there are fragments of the King on that planet, so as long as this ritual is completed, at the very least, one can possess that fragment of the King exclusively. At that time, the person who completes this ritual will be at least on the same level as His simulated King.

He gasped when he thought of this, and could only say that it was fortunate that the ceremony was stopped, otherwise who knows what kind of big trouble might have occurred.

However, it is also a ritual that imitates the King. Although it is an unconscious and unknowing act of imitating the King, it actually achieves the ritual. This makes the ritual extremely inclusive and it can even participate in any ritual.

It is clear that Xue's understanding of this ritual is not very deep, and it remains at a superficial level of "imitating the seven-day creation". But that doesn't matter, the Mimic King can uncover it.

Xue Dinglu glanced at them and then replied, "Yes, brothers, yes, and I have all the remaining 'princess,' 'martyr,' and 'monster' here!"

This corresponds to the princess, the "beast of comparison," the martyr, the "beast of mercy," and finally, the monster, the "beast of sin."

These are the human-evil beasts that Xue Law prepared for the remaining rituals.

As for who seems to have been forgotten? Oh well, Xue doesn't care. Anyway, the things he can forget are basically not important.

……

The veteran who had originally tried to stop Xue's Law finally woke up, and his teammates took him away.

"Blood Whale, what happened? Why did you suddenly faint on the surface of the sea?" another veteran asked.

The fish-man with the three rows of teeth was still in a daze. Xue Dinglu's slap had such a strong aftereffect that he could still feel his head buzzing.

“No, the ceremony! That priest is trying to stop the ceremony, we have to stop him!” he said immediately.

However, his teammates quickly reassured him: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. The ceremony has already started and no one has stopped us. Everything we've planned has gone very smoothly so far."

This relieved him, but he asked, "Didn't that damned priest stop the ceremony?"
