Seventh Seat in the sky snorted coldly and quickly retreated.
The Fate-Playing Skeleton seemed to come alive; human faces struggled on its body, formed from condensed green flames, making it utterly terrifying.
Just as Wei Laoda was about to step forward, Gu Cheng's stern voice rang out.
"Wei Yan, go down and don't go near it. That thing is beyond your ability to stop."
Wei Laoda frowned, cursed under his breath, and quickly retreated, though he was somewhat unwilling.
"Damn, he lost a pair of ears, and that Evil Cult let him get away."
"I'm not reconciled!!"
But forced by Gu Cheng's orders, he had no choice but to retreat.
Yu Qingnian was far away, naturally also received the message from Gu Cheng.
"Oh? The Fate-Playing Skeleton?"
"I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared, but that's all for now."
"This border crossing is not one you can trample on at will."
Golden lightning rained down from his fingers, and the Wuchen white robes below were already slightly charred. His eyes were filled with a faint red light.
Wuchen looked up at Yu Qingnian with deep, unwavering eyes, a hint of resentment in his voice, and murmured...
"Damn it, we can't hold them off."
Ultimately, they couldn't overcome that hurdle.
"Wilderness... Great Wilderness..."
His figure then retreated rapidly. After the Seventh Seats released the Fate-Playing Skeleton, he knew that their situation was hopeless and they had no choice but to retreat.
It's unclear whether they actually caught the "Child of Destiny."
But that doesn't matter anymore; they can't afford to lose their lives here.
Yu Qingnian chuckled, not stopping Wuchen from leaving, but instead looking at the flaming skeleton in the city, whispering softly.
"Punishment."
Boom!
The sky instantly darkened with thunder, and a golden beam of light descended.
Before anyone could react, the still-forming Fate-Playing Skeleton encountered its natural enemy.
The green flames on his body, and the countless human faces, struggled to break free, but ultimately formed a protective shield of flames.
In an instant~
The green flames were enveloped in golden lightning.
A tearing sound rang out moments later.
A crisp sound rang out as the green flames were extinguished.
The flames in the white skull's eyes had dissipated, and it fell to the ground.
Forbidden Object are ultimately just Forbidden Object.
When power reaches its peak, nothing can stop it.
Yu Qingnian didn't pay much attention to it, and flew back to the Ruined City, the golden light in his eyes completely gone.
Wuchen had already fled, and the city had now fallen silent.
Clearly, the Fate-Playing Skeleton was just stalling for time; the Evil Cult had already retreated.
The illusory figure of the Gu Cheng dissipated, then coalesced once more, appearing beside Li Chen, who was deep in thought.
"What did that guy say to you?"
Li Chen's thoughts were interrupted, and he turned to look at Gu Cheng.
He knew perfectly well who he was talking about.
Those are the Fifth Seats we just saw.
He said I was the Child of Destiny, and also Evil God...
Gu Cheng frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
After a moment of silence...
He looked up at the Ruined City, where some buildings had been destroyed, and said, "Let's go rest first, we'll talk about these things tonight."
"The usual place."
He then walked towards the pass, since this was Ruined Pass, and as its master, he needed to record and report on this Eerie Tide and the invasion of the Evil Cult.
This is not just his problem; it involves countless others.
At this time, many people began to emerge from the Slaughter Arena.
Jianping, covered in a mixture of black and red blood, was being supported by Su Zhe, clearly indicating that his battle had not been easy.
However, Li Chen noticed that an invisible aura had formed around him, indicating that he had already Comprehension the Eerie Tide.
Su Zhe grinned at Li Chen and said, "Chen-ge, it's over!"
"Go home."
Li Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Perhaps he's no longer worthy of the word "go home."
Su Zhe and Jianping's life Trajectories are still normal for now.
He has already stepped into the midst of conflict, and perhaps "home" is no longer something he dares to hope for.
At this moment, Su Xian, feeling somewhat exhausted while holding the magic book, put her hand on Li Chen's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'm almost dead from exhaustion."
"Give me a hand, we'll have some barbecue when we get back."
Li Chen realized what was happening and looked at them.
Perhaps he can still enjoy life for a while now.
Before we knew it, it was evening.
This Evil Cult infiltration, unbeknownst to the participants, has ended.
Yu Qingnian, Gu Cheng, and Wei Laoda were all in the laboratory.
Li Chen stared expressionlessly at Wei Laoda, who was shouting.
"It hurts... it hurts... it hurts."
"Lord Main Brain, be gentle!!"
Gu Cheng looked serious and focused as he held a special mechanical arm with laser beams swirling around it.
"Don't shout, or I might accidentally put your butt on my chest."
Li Chen looked at Yu Qingnian and asked, "Instructor Yu, you're so strong, why did you choose to be an instructor?"
Yu Qingnian smiled, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Do people care about ability? They care about the process."
"Strength doesn't mean omnipotence; it simply means having the ability to protect oneself."
"The world is vast, and there are countless people stronger than me."
"Isn't it better to play it safe?"
A black line appeared on Li Chen's forehead. All that talk about was just about playing it safe and developing his character.
At this moment, Gu Cheng let out a breath and said, "Wei Ting, you rascal, you can collect your ears yourself using Merit points later."
"I don't have ears your size here, and I'll put the Demon Blade back in the lab."
"You lost an arm or a leg after using the Demon Blade just once? Next time, I might have to prepare a mechanical head for you?"
Wei Laoda stood up; his mechanical body had been repaired.
Hehehe.
"Lord Main Brain, it's not impossible, as long as you don't deduct my salary."
Gu Cheng's face darkened.
"Roll"
"Alright!"
After Wei Laoda left, Gu Cheng took off his white gloves, walked over, and said...
"Let's talk about the Evil Cult infiltration we're discussing today."
Li Chen nodded slightly; he had come precisely because he wanted to know these things.
He didn't know what Evil God was, nor did he understand the true meaning of Child of Destiny.
And now only these two people can answer the question.
Gu Cheng's expression remained largely unchanged as he spoke, "The Evil Cult has come for you today."
"The Child of Destiny you speak of, I'm not entirely sure myself."
"However, the Evil God does know quite a bit."
"Evil God" is a term used to describe a creature that was once believed to bring the Black Mist from beyond the pass.
"However, as time went on, we discovered that Evil Gods do not actually exist, but there are representatives of Evil Gods in the world."
"The Evil Cults you see are actually just their so-called leaders acting as agents of Evil Gods."
"As for Evil Gods, we have never seen them; perhaps only Evil Cults have had the opportunity to observe them."
At this moment, Li Chen asked with some doubt, "Then why is it called Evil God? Does this world even have gods?"
The concept of God was perhaps something humanity once dared not truly explore, simply believing that God could not exist in this world.
But in this day and age, humanity has experienced so much that it has sufficient means to observe the conceptual question of "God".
