He Died Suddenly Without Lasting Even a Breath

Just as Liu Bing began to question his life, several figures suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

No, to be precise, several faces had abruptly appeared, hovering in the void above his head. Every one of those faces was incomparably beautiful, so beautiful that Liu Bing could not look away.

Yet at the same time, when his gaze touched those faces, a sense of awe rose uncontrollably from the depths of his heart, as though he was not facing women at all, but beings as sacred and inviolable as the sun.

However, that feeling vanished after only a moment. In the next instant, Liu Bing's vision suddenly turned snow-white, as if shrouded by a thick fog, and then he lost all sensation.

"Huh? This little guy is way too weak. There's nothing special about him either. How did he get here?"

"Is it possible that he was brought here by that system?"

"But logically speaking, how could a system get here? This is Wa Huang Tian. Without Sister Nuwa's permission, no one could possibly barge in."

"Is it possible that Empress Nuwa got too excited when she won that hand, slapped her tiles down too hard, and triggered some strange phenomenon?"

"Sinu, are you saying I moved too wildly just now?"

"Uh, please calm down, Empress Nuwa! That isn't what I meant."

"Do you know what it feels like to lose fifty rounds in a row? Do you? I finally drew a pure flush myself—how could I not get excited?"

"Why don't we talk about this little guy instead?"

"Fine. But this little guy is far too weak. Just looking directly at us made his mind collapse. He's not even as good as the acquired human race of the Primordial World."

"Xuan Nu, are you saying the acquired human race is lousy? And could it be that you didn't rein in your aura properly? Or that your cultivation isn't up to par?"

"Um, Empress Nuwa, that's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"Um, I think you should stop going off-topic first. That little guy's soul is about to disperse."

"With little sister Houtu here, he won't die."

Liu Bing quickly felt his consciousness return. Just now, he had only seen several faces before everything turned white, and then his consciousness had scattered.

Liu Bing opened his eyes and saw the faces in the sky again—or rather, four faces. They were four faces so beautiful that Liu Bing did not even know how to describe them. They were just a little too large; the four faces filled the entire sky. Right in the middle was one huge face.

"You're the one with a huge face. Your whole family has huge faces. Little guy, don't be so direct with your thoughts. You'll get beaten easily." Nuwa snapped back after seeing Liu Bing's thoughts.

Liu Bing looked at the face that had spoken. With just one glance, he felt that she radiated the aura of a loving mother. That maternal glow made him feel as though he had seen his own mother at first sight. Then the speaker's name automatically surfaced in his mind: Empress Nuwa.

How did this come with automatic name recognition?

"That wasn't automatic recognition. It's because of my identity. Any human who sees me will know who I am. After all, I created the human race." Nuwa saw through Liu Bing's thoughts again and answered directly.

It really was Nuwa! The Nuwa who created humanity! Had he really transmigrated to the Primordial World? Liu Bing had been stunned a moment ago, but in the next instant, he became excited. The Primordial World—that was the kind of place where one could grow stronger just by taking a breath.

"No, you haven't transmigrated to the Primordial World. You're currently on our card table in Wa Huang Tian. And you'd better stop dreaming about getting stronger with every breath. With that tiny body of yours, if you went to the Primordial World, you'd probably drop dead on the spot after taking a single breath." Sinu cut in.

Liu Bing froze. So he was on their card table? Was this card table really that huge? Then he reacted. Wait, could all these people see what he was thinking? And what did she mean by him dropping dead after a single breath? Wasn't that a little exaggerated?

"Of course. You're so weak that your mind is like subtitles with no protection at all. Whatever you think, we can see it clearly." Xuan Nu chuckled. "And you're far too weak. With your body, forget breathing. If you appeared in the Primordial World, the spiritual energy there, so dense it was almost solid, would instantly crush you into dust. You're lucky you appeared on our card table. All spells are forbidden here. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the chance to let your imagination run wild right now."

Liu Bing felt that she was fooling him. How could it be that exaggerated? He would die the instant he appeared in the Primordial World? Wasn't that looking down on him too much? Didn't all those transmigrators thrive after arriving in the Primordial World? No matter what, he could not possibly be that bad, could he?

"Heh, this little guy won't give up until he sees the coffin. Empress Nuwa, can I send him to the Primordial World for a little trip?" Xuan Nu felt offended when Liu Bing actually did not believe her. Did she need to lie to this little guy?

Nuwa coughed. "Well, we're benevolent. How could we do something like that?"

As she spoke, she pulled out a pack of spicy strips, expertly tore it open, and stuffed one into her mouth. "Mm, seeing as I ate his emergency rations, simulate the Primordial World's environment for him. With us here, he won't die. Consider it giving him some protection."

"Hehe, sure." Xuan Nu grinned, then looked at Liu Bing. "Here, I'll release spiritual energy around you equivalent to one ten-thousandth of the Primordial World's. I think that should be about the limit of what you can endure."

Before Liu Bing could speak, he felt as though his entire body was being squeezed by something. It was an all-encompassing pressure that made breathing impossible, more unbearable than the crushing pressure of The Deep—though he had never actually experienced the pressure of The Deep.

But he imagined that the pressure of The Deep was merely pure compression, while now he could feel something frantically forcing its way into his body. His body was being filled with some kind of substance, swollen beyond its limits.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die! I'm full, I'm overflowing!

Very quickly, he felt as though his body had become a balloon. After only two or three seconds, it burst.

Liu Bing's final thought was, Good grief, am I really this pathetic? I couldn't even endure one ten-thousandth of the environment!

In the next instant, Liu Bing regained consciousness. Still shaken, he touched his body and found himself completely unharmed. Only then did he let out a relieved breath.

"How was that? Although that was the limit of what you could endure, you'd still die suddenly all the same. But in that environment, you at least had a little time to react and understand how you died." Xuan Nu smiled maliciously.
