I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

"Shhh."

A glint flashed in Charlotte's eyes, her crimson pupils seeming to have caught sight of some dangerous hunter, and tendrils spread and coiled within her dilated pupils.

At the same time, soft murmurs sounded in Lu Ban's ear.

“That’s a relic from the Brilliant Realm; it may have already discovered us.”

"Be careful, don't make a sound, and try not to stare at it, as observation will change its state."

"Come with me, and be quiet."

"These relics were created by the Brilliant Realm to protect its knowledge. It seems that the knowledge we have acquired has exceeded the threshold."

"In extreme circumstances, I can only guarantee my own safety. If you want to live, you'd better behave yourself."

These sounds overlapped and seeped into Lu Ban's consciousness.

It appears that Charlotte used her power to forcibly inject a portion of her knowledge into Lu Ban's mind.

"Don't look?"

Lu Ban thought to himself.

Indeed, his staring at those things caused the corpses to move faster, as if they could sense human gaze.

But why is it that even Charlotte, an incarnation of the Great Old Ones, is so wary of those things?

Lu Ban followed Charlotte up the steps to the fifth floor of the library.

The view was much wider here. Lu Ban glanced outside and saw that countless corpses had gathered outside the library, like birds chirping for food.

Those stones were dull, lifeless, and unremarkable.

But now, they surrounded Lu Ban and Charlotte like some kind of monster.

Lu Ban then saw a stone suddenly disappear, and the next moment, the stone reappeared in front of them, standing there on the steps as if it had always been there.

Lu Ban quickly closed his eyes.

Charlotte pulled Lu Ban back, but they continued uphill.

Lu Ban followed the other's footsteps. He heard silence behind him, but subconsciously he knew that dangerous rocks lurked in those seemingly empty corners. If these things caught up with him, he might really die here.

Suddenly, Charlotte stopped.

"what happened?"

"There is no road."

Charlotte's voice came through, and Lu Ban opened his eyes.

He discovered that the two had arrived at the roof of the library, with the huge arc on the left and right sides.

The grayish-white stones blocked all directions, surrounding them completely.

As Lu Ban followed his gaze, these simple stones drew closer and closer, almost obscuring the entire sky.

Chapter 656 The Musician

Those huge, imposing, gray-white stones, square and upright, seemed to have been there from the beginning, surrounding Lu Ban and Charlotte.

Lu Ban didn't understand the logic behind the actions of these stones and the corpses of those in the Glorious Realm. He only knew that even with an avatar of an Old One by his side, he might still have difficulty escaping.

Charlotte looked around at the stones, her expression not showing much panic, but wriggling tendrils spread out from her crimson eyes.

next moment.

Lu Ban saw that the woman, who was wearing a cheongsam and had a graceful and alluring figure, was swollen all over.

It was as if all her muscles had expanded dozens of times, and she suddenly transformed from a petite and lovely woman into a bloated and obese lump of flesh.

From within the chunks of flesh, countless eyes opened, and thick, slippery tentacles extended out, wrapping around the stones.

Lu Ban saw that all the tentacles that touched the awakened stone began to turn grayish-white, becoming stiff and sluggish, as if they had turned into stone.

But soon, he lost his eyes.

The moment Lu Ban witnessed Charlotte's transformation, he completely broke down, inside and out.

He turned into a pool of fleshy, watery pulp, scattered on the ground and flowing everywhere.

Before the fluid could even touch the rocks, Charlotte's tentacles sucked it all away.

The tentacles that had turned to stone immediately broke off, and from those grayish-white tentacles, huge eyeballs and lumps of flesh began to erode the stone in reverse.

Soon, the stones closest to Charlotte all mutated into monsters covered in eyeballs and blurry flesh. They remained motionless, as if truly welcoming death.

As for the outer side, even more stones are gradually approaching.

Suddenly, the swollen, enormous monster stretched out two tentacles toward the sky, as if tearing space apart, and pulled them to the sides.

A sound like something being torn apart rang out, and in mid-air, a vast star field truly appeared.

Charlotte quickly disappeared into the star field, and then the rift closed perfectly, as if nothing had ever happened.

The stones suddenly stopped moving.

In the long and silent eternity, they returned to their original silence, just as before.

The land returned to its deathly stillness, as if it were an eternal, unchanging place.

……

When Lu Ban regained consciousness, he found himself lying in bed.

This is an extremely luxurious and magnificent bed.

The bed was soft and fluffy, and his body sank into it and quickly took on its own shape without feeling uncomfortable. The temperature in the room was just right, neither too hot nor too cold, and the warm, moist air entered his lungs through his respiratory tract, making Lu Ban feel as if he had been reborn.

He sat up and glanced at the layout of the room.

This is a beautifully decorated room. In addition to the large princess bed, there is a dressing table, desk, bookshelves, and a walk-in closet, as well as a bathroom and toilet. It can be considered the ultimate in luxury for accommodation.

Lu Ban looked around and realized that he was not wearing anything, his skin was clean and white, just like a newborn.

He crawled out of bed and saw clothes hanging on a rack. These clothes were clearly in the style of the ruined city, with excessive formalities, but at this point, he had no choice but to wear them.

Before Lu Ban had even finished dressing, he heard footsteps.

At this point, he had only just begun to put on his pants.

thump—

The door opened, and Lu Ban saw a young maid standing in the doorway, holding a plate of food, looking at him in surprise.

Lu Ban remained silent, as if he hadn't noticed the maid's gaze at all, and put on his pants and picked up his clothes.

In situations like this, as long as you don't feel awkward, it's others who will feel awkward.

Lu Ban was well-versed in this.

The maid was at a loss for what to do. When Lu Ban was about to button his shirt, she hesitated before placing the plate on the table, bowing silently, and leaving.

As she closed the door, she stole a few more glances at Lu Ban's face.

Lu Ban saw the food on the table; it was all simple: steak, vegetables, bread, and soup.

He felt very hungry.

Without hesitation, Lu Ban sat down, picked up his utensils, and began to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Ban heard footsteps again.

This time, it was clearly the sound of high heels.

He saw the door open and Charlotte standing in the doorway.

"You have a good appetite."

At this moment, the woman had transformed back into her original beautiful and charming self from her swollen and terrifying appearance. She held a folding fan in her hand, but did not conceal her face.

"It tastes good."

Lu Ban commented.

"Although the cooking method is standard, the ingredients themselves are of high quality, and the chef knows how to bring out the advantages of the ingredients, which is why it tastes so good."

"You're really funny."

Charlotte closed the door and sat on Lu Ban's bed.

"After all that, I thought you would go completely insane, lose all your sanity, and that becoming a monster would be the luckiest thing ever. I even prepared chains for you."

"chain?"

Lu Ban thought for a moment and didn't ask where the chain was from or how to use it.

He felt that if he asked, the other party might actually show it to Lu Ban.

"You have a very unique mark on your body. This wasn't left by the guy who was an avatar like me. He might have sensed your presence too. Hmm, I'm a little curious about what happened to you. But strangely, your head is like a lump of mush. I'm not using a metaphor, it's a real lump of mush. In this state, a human should have died long ago."

Charlotte said, placing her hands on her lap. The hem of her cheongsam revealed glimpses of her fair calves and ankles. The dark color of the cheongsam made her appear more mature, yet her innocent face resembled that of a girl experiencing first love.

She tilted her head and looked at Lu Ban with a playful expression.

"You are no longer human."

"Perhaps."

Lu Ban put down the spoon he was using to drink soup; he didn't seem to want to discuss self-awareness.

"It is precisely because of these marks that we may prefer to interact with you."

Charlotte gently brushed the hair that had fallen beside her ear behind her ear, revealing her delicate ear.

"You should find someone else."

Lu Ban roughly knew that she was referring to the many incarnations of that god beyond gods.

Befriending this being's incarnation and arousing their interest is not a good thing.

If these are all rational beings, then being able to befriend them would certainly be something to be desired.

But these are all evil gods, devoid of reason, representing chaos. Not to mention, according to Charlotte, the title of that god outside the gods is the Chaos of Subjugation.

In addition, there are the things His incarnations have done.
