Uncle Tengshe was like a crab in a steamer, chewing a little shredded ginger whenever it hurt

"Tengshe" was placed in this passage by Lin Yu.

Initially, Lin Yu didn't intend for "Tengshe" to undertake too many critical tasks; he simply hoped to use Tengshe to further monitor the energy changes of this "channel."

And...

Lin Yu also felt that, in the unlikely event of a "what if," the Tengshe might indeed be of some "use."

Now, with the "Diviner's" plan fully exposed, this pre-prepared "what if"... has finally come in handy.

The reason "Tengshe" was chosen to enter this passage was because "Tengshe" was the only one capable of doing so.

"Tengshe" is not the only one who can survive and move within this Reality Loophole, within this loophole that gathers the chaotic energy of the Ten Realms.

But...

The only being capable of existing almost silently within this chaotic energy without using any energy fluctuations or being detected by the "Diviner"... is the "Tengshe"!

While maintaining the "Heart Domain" active, "Tengshe" can survive in this chaotic energy environment almost without using any additional Supernatural System or [Item] thanks to its evolution.

The current "Tengshe" has evolved Meridians, Magic Circuits, and various "Energy Storage Organs" that resemble those of the native monsters and Living Beings of the Ten Realms.

The only problem is...

This process consumes a large amount of heat from the Tengshe itself.

But Lin Yu had already prepared for this – he had long ago provided "Tengshe" with a lot of reserve food through the God of Banquets and the gift of the card.

A single bite of food containing 10,000 calories exists in the fanny pack that Tengshe is currently carrying.

As long as food supplies are plentiful and time is ample, "evolution" will allow the Tengshe to almost ignore any "extreme environment".

Right now, in this chaotic, energy-filled passage, in this collapsed passage with its broken spatial structure, he not only felt no discomfort, but even felt... somewhat comfortable.

This is why Lin Yu entrusted "Tengshe" to prevent the explosion.

He could indeed do it—not only because he was in the passage, but also because his "Heart Domain" truly possessed the ability to stop the "explosion."

"That's an excessive request," Zhu Ming, and also the God of Games and Rules...

Tengshe muttered to himself.

After spending several hours in the passage and consuming sixteen Specially Made Delicious Energy Bar, Tengshe's eyes, now a deep blue, have gained the ability to perceive his surroundings even amidst the chaotic energy and crumbling space—he can now directly see the flow of energy.

Now, in Tengshe's eyes, this destroyed space and the passages connecting various worlds are not pitch black, but rather colorful and mesmerizing.

He felt as if he were inside the aurora borealis or Kaleidoscope, surrounded by surging, vibrant colors.

And just as the "Diviner" and Lin Yu said...

Although there were explosions inside the [Instance] city, the root cause of the explosions came from Tengshe's side.

Around the Tengshe, explosions rang out intermittently, and energy surged violently, forming bursts of "Explosion Point" that continuously spewed out like fireworks, destroying the spatial structure.

Therefore, Tengshe knew that the "God of Games and Rules" had not lied to him or misjudged the situation.

If this continues, all the hundreds of "Player" in the Shenzhen will die.

The only solution... is for me to do it myself.

Tengshe looked towards the very center of this passage, this chaotic energy space.

There... is the largest convergence of energy.

Although the energy is constantly being dispersed due to the phased detonation.

But it still contains enough energy to be terrifying enough to annihilate the entire spatial structure.

He knew what he had to do.

"... This must hurt a lot."

The Tengshe murmured.

However, despite complaining, he still headed there.

Above Tengshe's destination, there was a beautiful, multicolored ball of light that was constantly gathering and rotating.

This is the most beautiful and dazzling place in this space, but also the most dangerous... Energy Convergence Point.

Tengshe knew very well that this was not a firework, but Gunpowder Barrel that could kill everyone.

Just standing in front of it, the perception brought to him by Tengshe's "Heart Domain" and his keen biological instincts warned him how dangerous this thing was.

Tengshe was indeed a little scared.

But in the end...

Tengshe still reached out his hand towards the ball of light.

"You have a chance to save people this time, you have a chance to save everyone, so... don't let yourself down."

Tengshe spoke in a low voice, his fingertips touching the ball of light, and then shouted again at the hole above his head and the slowly rotating Vortex.

"Hacker - I'm ready!"

Then, Tengshe viciously plunged its fingertips into the ball of light.

Then...

Tengshe also saw a pure energy, like a bolt of lightning, strike into the center of the light, causing all the energy to erupt prematurely!

The ball of light surged violently, its surface undulating, as if some monster was about to hatch from it.

But there were no monsters, no life inside; instead, there was something far more terrifying— Apocalypse-Level Explosion enough to destroy a Small World!

The ball of light expanded slightly and deformed violently, like the last millisecond of an image captured by a high-speed camera before an explosion.

But...

No explosion occurred!

"Come over!"

The Tengshe roared and pressed its entire body against it.

The energy pathways and "Energy Storage Organs" that his body had evolved began to operate at full power, absorbing the enormous energy that had exceeded the critical value and was about to explode!

The most violent explosion occurred at the very center...

It didn't happen.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

Tengshe immediately started cursing.

After becoming homeless, he experienced many physical discomforts, including cuts, frostbite, and food poisoning. His near-death experiences were among the most numerous of all the "Player".

Tengshe originally thought he had an extremely strong "adaptability", and after awakening his "Heart Domain", he was even more able to adapt to most discomforts.

Before carrying out this instruction, he was mentally prepared for it to be a bit "painful".

But...

All this suffering still exceeded Tengshe's expectations!

All the terrifying energy he absorbed far exceeded the limits of his energy pathways and Energy Storage Organs, bursting his Meridians, Dantian, and all other structures in the very first second.

And... the explosions didn't disappear; they just continued to occur inside his body.

Tengshe felt like a torn rubber bag, his senses filled with a soreness and swelling, as if someone inside his body was scraping his skin with a sharp, Rule tool while simultaneously rubbing it with sandpaper.

For a fleeting moment, Tengshe almost lost consciousness, feeling as if he were sitting in a university classroom taking notes, strolling down the Street of his hometown to buy a steamer of steamed buns, or sitting in a cramped Apartment with Candle, wrapped in a blanket, watching an animated movie on a tablet with someone...

But Tengshe knew he couldn't lose consciousness!

Because he is now adapting to these explosions and these energies, he is using the power of the "Heart Domain" to evolve himself so that he can continuously contain these energies.

But...

This is not the "optimal solution" or the best evolutionary path determined by the "Heart Domain".

This was his own "Heart Domain." Although Tengshe had always lived in a daze, he still had a basic understanding of some of the mechanisms of his own "Heart Domain."

If his "Heart Domain" evolves without his own will interfering, the default evolutionary strategy is to prioritize his survival as an individual.

Therefore, if one loses consciousness and their will weakens, then after the "Wise Man's Survival Guide" reverts to its default "automatic" mode, some "mutations" may occur.

For example, they might evolve some kind of "insulating shell" to keep this "energy" out.

That was indeed a strategy that would benefit him, but it was definitely not what Tengshe wanted to see right now.

So...

Tengshe's face was contorted, he was drenched in sweat, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

But he still stared wide-eyed, clearly feeling the pain inside his body.

"Very good, very good! I held on! I did it!"

As Tengshe spoke, it roared.

"Don't worry! I've got it! I can handle it—you'll be alright!"

The roar of the Tengshe penetrated the spatial structure and reached the replicated city in the [Instance].

Hearing the painful screams, the Diviner couldn't help but sigh.

"This is your plan, God of Games and Rules? To have a homeless man drain all your energy? I almost laughed at your sense of humor."

As space continued to collapse, the once vast city was reduced to almost nothing more than a single city block.

The figure of the "Diviner" still hovered in the air, looking down at Lin Yu on the ground with an almost mocking expression.

"Your plan has just begun, and he's already near death—but that's less than one percent of the remaining explosive energy."

Lin Yu looked up at the Diviner and whispered, "Don't underestimate him."

The Diviner was surprised. "What, are you going to say something about 'willpower' or something like that?"

"No... what I meant was," Lin Yu paused, then said, "That he paid for everything before we set off, making sure he had enough to eat."

"As long as Tengshe is well-fed, he can do anything."

Beneath the passage, in the surging energy.

On the verge of collapse, the tormented Tengshe shakily pulled out a hand, reached into his pouch, and pulled out an Energy Bar wrapped in white paper.

This is the Energy Bar that "Zhu Ming" gave himself. The wrapper has a cute Schnauzer sketch printed on it. Tengshe pretended not to see it and tore open the wrapper with his teeth.

Although the inside looks like a chocolate bar, the Energy Bar that fills your sense of smell is rich with the scent of oil and meat.

The Tengshe swallowed it whole, and the stimulation of its taste buds and the warm current in its stomach made it feel a little better.

"Very good, very good. As long as there's food, we can hold on."

Tengshe spoke, it continued to absorb the violent energy.

He was still in pain, still on the verge of collapse.

Tengshe didn't consider how long it needed to hold on or how much energy it had left.

All he knows now is...

He still had seventy-five of those delicious and palatable Energy Bar left in his own pocket.

This is enough for him to eat for a long time.
