[Ancient God▪Life]

The city burned in flames, interspersed with occasional Explosion, while Fireworks burst across the night sky...

If we ignore our surroundings, there is indeed a festive atmosphere reminiscent of the Chinese New Year.

The entire city was utterly destroyed by Bai Zhi.

While it's impossible to completely eliminate risks, Bai Zhi has minimized them as much as possible.

He had done everything he could; all that remained was to improvise.

In the following time, in order to solve the problem of the low combat power of the four women, including Fireworks of Romance, Bai Zhi specially prepared a weapon for each of them, despite Fireworks of Romance's strong protests.

--Each person receives a large, thickened Spiked Club.

When Spiritual Energy is depleted and cannot be replenished, and faced with a large-scale enemy attack, there is no simpler and more practical weapon than Spiked Club.

Then... dawn broke.

The fire was still burning, and the continuous Explosion continued to echo throughout the city, leaving the entire city in a state of desolation.

The fire killed a small portion of the variant, but most variant the city to survive. The stairwell beneath the hotel was completely blocked, and the surrounding streets were engulfed in flames...

"Is this alright?"

Looking around, the Fireworks of Romance seemed slightly uncertain.

"As long as it doesn't suddenly rain heavily, or the flames don't gain Life or something..."

"Can you stop jinxing me?"

He interrupted her, then leaned against the wall, clutching the [Silver Reaper], Bai Zhi rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.

"To tell you the truth, in the end, not only will fire gain Life, but rain will also gain Life, and even wind will gain Life... Can you imagine what kind of world that would be?"

"... a vibrant world?"

"Full of vitality, my foot..."

--Three hours before they were to leave this world, the anticipated attack did not occur as expected.

It wasn't until an hour and a half before they were supposed to leave this world, almost two hours later than expected, that the weary figure of the World's End Singer silently appeared beside Bai Zhi... or more precisely, beside the guitar.

"How about it?"

Seemingly unsurprised by the other party's location, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at them.

"The attack is imminent."

Looking at the burning city in the distance, then turning back to glance at the guitar Bai Zhi was carrying on his back, a strange light flashed in the Girl's eyes, and she nodded slightly.

"Also, I now know what is the entity that has influenced this world."

"What?"

"A corpse... or rather, the remains of a part of a corpse, perhaps only a finger, or perhaps half a body."

The Girl spoke calmly.

"To receive these messages, I'm no longer able to fight. Although He is said to be dead, just receiving His name has already drained most of my Sanity."

"What is it?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the crowd around him, who, while not rudely surrounding him, were all listening intently, and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"[Ancient God▪Life]."

The Girl slightly raised her head and looked up at the Tian Kong.

"These are the impression words that formed in my mind based on His true name. His remains are constantly approaching this world. Everything in this world is given Life because of those remains."

"What does the world tell you?"

Looking at the Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What emotions did you sense within the world that Noah's Ark Main Body?"

"Resentment, anger, roaring... and sorrow."

For some reason, as she spoke these words, a trace of empathy and sadness also flashed across the Girl's eyes.

"It's like when people pour water and wash away an anthill. To humans, this is something that doesn't even warrant their attention, but to the ants, it's a catastrophe for their species."

"Indeed, dying in the struggle against Anomaly at least meant there was some resistance, but to have the world destroyed and ended because of the remains of a dead being... that's just too frustrating."

Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, nodding thoughtfully.

"What does it matter to you if I destroy you?"

It's like an Orchardist who takes the whole world home and plants it in his Orchard, using the entire world to cultivate delicious fruit. What does the destruction of your world have to do with me?

Just as humans wouldn't care about an ant whose home they destroyed, they wouldn't care about humanity whose world is being destroyed... Is it a difference in the Life Level?

Suddenly remembering something, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Isn't the improvement of Player's Level rating also an improvement in their Life Level? So where did those powerful individuals who broke through to the Mythic Level go?

Is it that they continue to fight those powerful Anomaly somewhere, or have they themselves... become those Anomaly?

Could [Orchardist] have once been a powerful Player? And could the deceased [Ancient God▪Life] have also been a being who broke through the Mythic Level Level?

... No, that so-called Ancient God was killed, leaving only his remains drifting aimlessly, which means that even beings like them had enemies.

Even if someone is dead, their corpse can still affect an entire world and cause its World Destruction. So what about when that person is still alive? What terrifying power would they possess?

Player simply can't handle beings like these; their opponents might very well be those Player who have broken through the Mythic Rank...

When gods fight, do mortals suffer?

"Oh, right, this is for you."

As if she had thought of something, the Girl reached out her hand to Bai Zhi Trump Card.

As she moved, a pale golden, still slightly pulsating heart-shaped object quietly Levitation above her palm.

"... The Ark Heart?"

Coming to his senses, Bai Zhi stared blankly at the object in front of him for a moment.

"Um."

The Girl nodded.

Are you sure you want to give this to me?

Looking at the Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi's expression was slightly strange.

"If you give this to either of those two, you'll get a whole bunch of stuff in return. I don't have anything to give you... Speaking of which, are we really that close?"

"You've already paid the price."

Shaking her head slightly, the Girl placed the Dim Ark Heart in Bai Zhi's hand.

"In this world, you are the second person who can see me."

"What world..."

Before Bai Zhi, who was slightly taken aback, could finish speaking, OriginDeficit's slightly nervous voice came from the other side.

"Attention everyone! Lots of Monster are charging towards us... From the sky! There are so many things in the sky!!"
