I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

She examined the seashell in her hand; it was ordinary and had no special features.

"Because it's more fun that way."

Lu Ban continued, causing the leopard, who had raised its head, to glance at him.

"If you seal this Outer God back, then this alien realm can continue to exist. The humans living here will struggle on the edge of destruction, and their actions will give rise to countless joys and sorrows. All of humanity will be revealed before the end of the world."

Lu Ban said calmly.

"But if this place were destroyed at this time, all the chaos would vanish, along with His awakening, and cease to exist."

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Leopard smiled.

"You understand me so well, it makes me want to eat you up and meet the tapeworms you put in my stomach."

"I don't taste very good."

Lu Ban answered decisively.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely try it when I have the chance."

"Leopard said, glancing at Xia again."

“There are indeed some things in this world that interest me. You make a good point. Rather than letting that guy just let things be turned upside down like this, I'd rather take charge…”

She licked her upper lip.

"Don't worry, I'll go talk to Him now and see if I can let Him sleep a little longer."

Immediately, Leopard vanished into thin air, like a faded watercolor painting.

"..."

As Xia watched the leopard disappear, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

Will she really keep her promise?

The young mage looked at Lu Ban and asked.

"Who knows, but I think my suggestion would be valuable to her."

Lu Ban knew very well that although it seemed like a joke, those few words had indeed brought some turning point to the world.

Like Jost who built the Grey Tower, Lu Ban's words were to prolong the island's brief suffering for thousands of years.

When the Outer Gods awaken, all the people in this world—whether it's Captain Changzheng, scholar Axiang, or the future Amber and Red Leaf—will be annihilated into the void, and there will be no more stories.

What he asked Leopard to do was to delay the destruction.

During this time, the people of the island will suffer from pollution, encounter many strange and terrifying things, have disputes and conflicts, and reveal the ugliest and noblest parts of human nature.

Lu Ban's actions were like using expensive machines to forcibly prolong the life of a patient with severe burns all over his body, and to make him suffer for decades.

Ruthless and cruel, but it's also a way to survive.

At least in Lu Ban's view of the future, if Hedao continues to eke out a living, then all this cost may be worthwhile.

He looked at Sia and saw the parts of her body that had been mutated.

"You shouldn't go any further."

Lu Ban only glanced at her before understanding Xia's condition. She was on the verge of collapse at any moment. The corruption was deeply ingrained. If Xia hadn't possessed magic, she would probably have already completely lost her mind and become a monster.

"Everyone has to die eventually, doesn't he?"

Sia smiled, put her armor back on, and returned to her appearance as the powerful mage.

"You can come to my world to retire. Although there are some strange things there, it's at least quite peaceful."

Lu Ban suggested.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deep rumble came from the direction of the deep well.

The sound was different from the previous tremors of the earth; it was more like the roar of some kind of wild beast.

The sound caused the trees to tremble and sway.

As a result, visible ripples appeared on the sand.

The sea became restless, and all the giants became uneasy. Old Song looked at the readings on the measuring device with a solemn expression.

next moment.

A beam of light shone from the center of the island.

That was a crimson light.

Lu Ban once watched a documentary that mentioned that deep in the ocean there are some volcanoes that spew magma. Sometimes, molten magma flows out of those volcanoes. The high-temperature molten semi-solid comes into contact with seawater, causing a large amount of gas to churn up and emit a dark red light.

At that moment, the light rose into the sky above the island like the radiance of something with destructive elements.

An uproar immediately broke out among the giants on the island.

"The deep well has disappeared?"

"Damn it, what happened?"

“The unknown source of contamination is spreading, and we need to restart the deep well immediately.”

"No, it's too late. We need to get out of here quickly."

Amidst the noise, Lu Ban heard a voice.

clatter--

That was the sound of the counters on the giants' bodies ringing.

The sound began to accelerate and become more frequent as soon as it started.

Da da da—

The counter's sound became rapid, quickly reaching the frequency that Lu Ban and the others had heard in the deep well.

This means that the pollution has completely leaked out, and now the entire island is shrouded in extremely high concentrations of pollution.

The red sun rose in the sky, its ominous light instilling an instinctive sense of terror and fear.

"what happened?"

The giants were at a loss, but Old Song reacted quickly.

“A serious pollution leak has occurred. All containment measures have failed. Everyone must board the ships immediately and evacuate this area.”

He shouted.

Under the pollution of this crimson sun, if they were even a little slow, their ships would also be mutated and unable to escape.

"Second squad, come with me to the core and buy some time."

Seeing this, Xia's expression turned serious.

"She did it?"

She looked at Lu Ban.

"of course."

A sweet voice came from behind the two of them. Leopard was standing there, her white clothes stained with some dirt that had a brilliant metallic color, like blood splattered from the lower left to the upper right.

"It took a little effort, but we finally solved the problem."

"You call this solving the problem?"

Xia couldn't help but ask.

Now that the deep well has failed, the seal that binds the Outer God has been exposed. The giants present may all perish on the spot, and even things outside may not be able to escape. Is this considered a solution?

"Of course, I've already kicked the unclean one back to the source of the problem, but I'm too lazy to deal with the rest."

She straightened her chest, the metallic bloodstains resembling scars.

"Besides, I've helped you so much, shouldn't you pay some price?"

Leopard's mouth curled into a slightly mocking smile.

Lu Ban glanced at the red sun.

Indeed, if the deep well fails, the pollution from the outer god bound within it will instantly cleanse this place. To put it nicely, the fact that Lu Ban and Xi Ya can still talk to each other is already a stroke of good luck.

Now, the deep well no longer exists, but the pollution is only about the same as the buffer zone, indicating that the core of the pollution has weakened a lot.

"If you can successfully remove the remaining pollution, then you can escape from here."

"I can't breathe," Leopard said leisurely, as relaxed as a primary school student on an autumn outing at the zoo.

"I've gone to such great lengths to solve your biggest problem, so letting me watch a show isn't an unreasonable request, is it?"

"You make a very good point."

Lu Ban understood Leopard.

After all, her purpose in life is to find something different to do and have fun.

Now that she has helped Lu Ban solve this major problem with the Outer God, she will definitely want some reward.

As for who might die from this fun, or what irreversible consequences might occur, it's irrelevant to Leopard.

Keyboard warriors, when they hurl insults and cyberbully others online, never consider the consequences for those who are cyberbullied.

This is the price to pay for using Leopard's cheat ability.

Without Leopard's help, the deep well will eventually collapse, the awakened Outer God will break through this time anchor point, destroy the entire island, and people like Old Song in the Glorious Realm will also abandon this place and leave.

The reason for asking the leopard for help is to deal with the remaining pollution after the Outer God left.

From the perspective of an Outer God, Lu Ban made an incredible profit from this deal.

He saw that Old Song had already put on his equipment and was approaching the crimson sun.

This scholar was clearly prepared to resist the incoming pollution so that his companions could leave in time.

In the sky, the sun's radiance was like a fiery ballad, spreading wildly across the island.

Then, the song seemed to stop abruptly, and immediately, thick black mud poured down like a waterfall in the sunlight.
