It's Over

On the other side of the battlefield, the fighting had already reached a fever pitch. Dora was repeatedly falling and then rejoining the battle, constantly exhausting her Origin in the fight.

Relying on a continuous supply of energy, the Demon King withstood the onslaught and remained standing.

It seems Song Shige has become much stronger. In the previous era, he almost died when facing Silk Woman alone, but now he can hold his own against one and a half without being at a disadvantage.

Su Luo sighed, and with her hand, which was filled with Heartfire, she reached out to grab Qiao Wenxi was standing there in a daze as if she had lost everything.

Annihilation.

There's no such thing as a low- Attribute being unable to defeat a high- Attribute one; Qiao Wenxi, with nearly twelve Attributes remaining, died at Su Luo's hands in just over ten seconds.

But in the final moments before death, a strange, wild joy suddenly burst forth in Qiao Wenxi's lifeless eyes.

At the same moment, the Demon King suddenly turned his head, his gaze changing drastically.

Su Luo's scattered and broken body began to solidify, and the black eyeball that was floating in mid-air suddenly transformed into a stream of light, soaring through the air and plunging straight into the depths of the blood-red ancient city guarded by the Demon King.

The next second, a figure with a hint of mockery appeared where Su Luo was standing, and Su Luo's body was solidified by him.

[Sai Wangli]

Returning to the world as Scholar, he once again takes control of the game!

He successfully NTR'd the Scholar, though not in the best way.

But in this situation, it's the best option.

He sensed a vast torrent of knowledge surging towards him, sensed the wonder of the Heartfire, sensed...

A sense of scarcity.

He truly experienced the mystery of the Heartfire Authority and the profoundness of the knowledge base, which was followed by an overwhelming sense of extreme lack.

A Perfect formed body with a powerful mechanism and maximum immortality, and a body covered with countless skills Spells.

But there is no energy.

[Sai Wangli] gracefully opened the panel and saw the Talent [Learning Gains (+1)], his smile freezing on his face.

Developmental Talent.

Developmental Talent?

Developmental Talent!

In this current situation, it's completely useless!

The standoff on the battlefield paused for a moment.

Silk Woman and Dick Lang both stopped what they were doing, their gazes turning serious as they looked at the "Scholar" whose demeanor had suddenly changed and who seemed completely out of character, instantly realizing the truth.

"Possessed?" She quickly realized what had happened.

Song Shige didn't speak, but simply focused his gaze on his Blood City.

Within the ancient city, a figure with a jet-black right eye twisted its flesh and reshaped its form, ultimately transforming into Su Luo's exact likeness.

"I wonder how Qiao Wenxi gained her power, and how these two became members of the Great Holy Spirit."

The real Su Luo inhabits a new body, completely losing her Survivor panel for the first time. She repeatedly tries to access the panel, but finds nothing.

It's somewhat novel.

He genuinely had no idea what had happened between Qiao Wenxi and [her Husband Away on Business, Being Someone's Zero].

The moment Dreamscape is entangled by the [Dream World], it means he has lost control, but that doesn't stop him from making malicious guesses.

"[Sai Wangli] didn't expect to be able to torture and painfully kill the other consciousnesses within the Great Holy Spirit. The lack of a feint greatly affected the plan."

"At this point, he was left only with the avatar walking outside the Great Holy Spirit. He directly possessed his dream avatar within the stomach of [Food], which I suspect was Dream Princess."

"But he didn't expect that in this place, non- Survivors would perish within seconds."

"Countless avatars in the Dreamscape fell into the [Wasteland] and all perished. After noticing this, the [Dream Princess] he possessed quickly rearranged the situation and possessed the Survivors."

Upon seeing the Heartfire swirling around Su Luo, [Sai Wangli]'s expression darkened.

He opened Su Luo's System Space and released the Mana stored within.

He can control everything Su Luo feels in this body.

The value of [Sai Wangli] began to rise.

"You should have just possessed Qiao Wenxi's body, since Qiao Wenxi is stronger. Instead of possessing that maggot [Husband Away on Business, Being Someone's Zero]."

Su Luo walked out of Blood City and stared at her own reflection, which resembled her own appearance.

"But you lost confidence, so you chose to possess this maggot, and then let Qiao Wenxi draw attention to it, covering up your plan."

Maggots will choose where they belong.

"You deliberately allowed Qiao Wenxi to emerge, letting her come seeking revenge and drawing attention to your plans."

"You calculated it perfectly: Qiao Wenxi sought revenge against me with all her might, venting all her hatred and even using her memories and rage to prove her existence, while simultaneously giving me the opportunity to kill her."

"The entirety of the Great Holy Spirit has long been destroyed. Apart from your last wisp of consciousness and Qiao Wenxi, your final incarnation, you have no other options."

"At the moment of Qiao Wenxi's death, you had two choices."

"First, let Qiao Wenxi's consciousness at the moment of death switch places with mine. The Resurrection property of [Wasteland] will cause a Scholar enemy with Qiao Wenxi's consciousness to appear, while my loyal consciousness, with Qiao Wenxi's body, will assist you."

"Second, swap your consciousness with mine. You gain me, and I gain a maggot-infested body and the completely useless corpse of the Great Holy Spirit."

Not far away, Qiao Wenxi, who had been Resurrection by the rules of the Wasteland and whose consciousness had been refreshed and freed from the Great Holy Spirit, stood there in a daze.

Looking at the two identical Su Luos before him, though their auras were slightly different, he was lost in thought, unsure of whom to seek revenge against.

[Sai Wangli] slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them again.

His internal Mana surged wildly and rapidly, and his depleted Attributes steadily increased, returning to twenty points.

So what?

Goodbye, Little Brother Su.

The situation has completely reversed. All he needs to do is plunge everyone present into Chaos, bringing the Third Era to a complete end, and he will be the ultimate and sole victor.

Scholars are all so delusional, yet they still have hidden resources in the System Space —how utterly despicable!

Mana power surged forth continuously, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a brand-new item he had never seen before in the corner of the System Space.

[Story Instance Scroll]?

Are these system items I've never seen before, unique to Darkness Survival?

Mana surged and evaporated in the [Wasteland], Ten Thousand Laws Domain began to form around him.

It cannot be formed.

Despite the surging and churning Mana, and despite the full activation of Spell instincts, the familiar Ten Thousand Laws Domain could never take shape or unfold.

The Mana that Scholars once wantonly ravaged now seems rebellious and alien.

"What's going on?!"

[Sai Wangli] He began to search among knowledge and soul.

"Encrypted Mana! Of course I know it?!"

[Sai Wangli] exclaimed in astonishment.

He inherited all of Su Luo's mechanisms; theoretically, there was no secret technique he couldn't activate, and no energy he couldn't control.

He should inherit all the skills that Su Luo possessed, even if Su Luo deleted his memories beforehand, he should still have the instinct to do so!

Because I don't know how myself.

With an expressionless face, Su Luo, under Song Shige's protection, steadily stepped forward to face [Sai Wangli].

"You can start from scratch and try to learn, deduce, and master this Encrypted Mana."

"You must learn the basics and explore how to use it, just like a novice in Spell."

You have three minutes left.

[Sai Wangli] then saw clearly that Su Luo was also radiating this Encrypted Mana, and that Ten Thousand Laws Domain was forming around her just like the one he remembered.

The other party is... using this Encrypted Mana to cultivate from scratch?

He suddenly punched Su Luo's maggot body away, frantically mobilizing his Talent and exhausting all his knowledge reserves in an attempt to forcibly decipher the operating model of the Encrypted Mana.

"I can't learn it? I can't learn it!"

[Sai Wangli] cannot directly learn the application and deduction model of this Encrypted Mana, and is helpless even with various bonuses from Talents and professions.

Because there's simply no knowledge to learn!

"Fuck you, what a piece of trash Talent, all you can do is learn knowledge."

The Heartfire Evolution endlessly, and Su Luo was reclaiming her power.

A light fireball flew out and imprisoned [Sai Wangli].

Chaos has already occupied most of the [Wasteland], and the crimson flesh walls are twisting to their limit.

Su Luo looked up and said softly:

"It's over."
