Xu Bai Died Countless Times

These resurrected people instantly found someone to confide in and began to complain everywhere. They were indeed helpless, having been inexplicably wiped out.

Let them fight each other fairly and squarely. Even if they lose, there's nothing to be upset about. But the most important thing is that they were ambushed for no reason, especially since the opponent was so strong and used a sneak attack method, which made them feel particularly aggrieved.

At this moment, Xu Bai seemed to become the pillar of support.

Xu Bai frowned as he listened to the noise around him. When they had finished speaking, he raised his hand to stop them.

As soon as Xu Bai made this move, everyone present wisely stopped making a sound, and the scene became completely silent. However, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xu Bai, filled with anticipation.

"Someone come here, yes, it's you. Tell me the whole story in detail." Xu Bai pointed at Zhang Chen, who had spoken first, and said, "Try to keep it as simple as possible. If I'm not mistaken, you'll be leaving here soon."

When those two people came in last time, they left not long afterward, so Xu Bai told them to keep things simple to save time.

He had guessed this would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and with so many people being resurrected. To figure out the situation, he had to act quickly.

leave?

Those present grasped the key point; they looked at each other, all seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Why did we suddenly start talking about leaving?

"Surprised? Hurry up and tell us, you don't have much time left," Xu Bai said.

Zhang Chen then came to his senses. He was still excited to be called out by Xu Bai, and quickly said, "The story goes like this: one night, a group of people suddenly appeared..."

He tried to keep it brief, because Xu Bai had just said that there wasn't enough time to describe it in detail. Only two or three minutes had passed after he finished telling the whole story.

After hearing the whole story, Xu Bai turned to the others and asked, "Is what he said about what you all experienced?"

Everyone else nodded, indicating that it was indeed what they had experienced.

Xu Bai then fell into deep thought once again, pacing back and forth.

This is really bad!

Judging from the description given by this group of people, the other side has definitely started a second wave of attacks, and this attack is more direct than the first one.

Moreover, the area of casualties this time was much larger. Just look at this group of people and you'll know that the enemy's attacks will only increase in the future, and the casualties will become greater and greater.

Xu Bai rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

The biggest problem now is that I'm stuck here, unable to get out or participate, which is very troublesome.

If they could get out, they might be able to cooperate with the Chu Emperor and others, achieving unexpected results, but the key is that they cannot get out.

Xu Bai didn't dwell on it further, because the group left quickly, and he needed to give them a warning.

"I won't waste any more words. After you get back, head straight to the center and don't linger on the edges."

If you die once, you must learn from your mistakes after being resurrected; you absolutely cannot stay in the same place.

If he were to die again, it would be a huge loss. Who knows if he could be resurrected? Everyone understood Xu Bai's thoughts and nodded in agreement.

As Xu Bai had predicted, the time had just arrived.

The surrounding space trembled violently once again. Amidst the violent shaking, the group of people in front of them gradually turned into light and shadow and disappeared. The entire sky became empty again, without a single person in sight.

Xu Bai did not rush to leave. Looking at the empty sky, he fell into deep thought.

"Time is running out for me to stay here any longer. I have to think of a way, at least a way to get out of here."

"But if we leave here, we will suffer a blow from the Supreme Saint, and then we will have no chance of winning."

"Staying here is, compared to going out, just a slow death."

"I need to find an ability, maybe one related to creating clones. I can't afford to lose anything by giving it a try."

Now, this is the only way he can think of. If he can find an ability related to clones in all the trades in the world, perhaps he can go out and explore.

He wasn't sure if he had it or not; at least for now, he didn't possess such an ability, but he would have to try it out.

It's a pity that I didn't think of this before the group went back because of the time constraints. But it's not a big problem. If anyone else is resurrected, I can use this method to tell the Chu Emperor and ask him to help me find them.

With that in mind, Xu Bai didn't linger any longer. He used the old method to exit the space and returned to the Ghost Market.

After returning to the Ghost Market, he found another direction and continued with his original plan.

The Ghost Market remained as oppressive as ever, tinged with a dark red hue, and Xu Bai's search this time took quite some time.

After all, he had killed quite a few monsters since the last time.

The high-level monsters were almost all wiped out, while the low-level monsters were also mostly killed under his all-out sweep.

It's considered lucky to have found one now.

Another dilapidated ancient city appeared ahead. When Xu Bai descended from the sky and landed inside the ancient city, his divine soul had already expanded, enveloping the entire ancient city.

But the next moment, Xu Bai frowned.

What is this?

In his spiritual perception, he did not sense anything strange. The entire ancient city was empty and desolate, like an abandoned city.

But in the heart of the city, something strange caught his attention.

Xu Bai flew in the direction of his divine sense and soon arrived at the city center, where he was met with an extremely terrifying scene.

Not far ahead, all that remained was a deathly, dark red expanse, but in the very heart of the city, there stood an enormous tree that completely obscured the sky.

From Xu Bai's perspective, the Giant Tree was lush and covered with all sorts of fruits.

Each fruit was enormous, thicker than a person; these were not ordinary fruits, but terrifying human heads.

Xu Bai warily examined the towering Giant Tree in front of him; his intuition told him that the tree was extremely dangerous.

Even at his current level of strength, he can still feel the pressure.

Each head was different, and each head had its eyes tightly closed, displaying an extremely painful posture. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have bodies underneath, one might mistake them for living people.

"How could there be such a tree here, and with so many human heads hanging from it?"

Xu Bai did not approach rashly. Instead, he used his divine soul to scan the entire tree from top to bottom.

There were no abnormalities, and nothing useful was detected.

This tree is not alive, nor is it even eerie; it is like a withered tree, only having an outward appearance.

But that feeling of danger was real; it wasn't fake.

"Since there's no progress bar and no other discoveries, let's just destroy it."

A sense of danger constantly reminded him that this tree was no good.

With no progress bar and no results, Xu Ban had no intention of keeping it.

Xu Bai took a deep breath, and his right hand burst forth with intense white light. At the same time, he controlled this white light to envelop the entire tree.

Myriad Attacks, coupled with the golden and grayish-white Heavenly Change, caused the tree to turn to ashes, starting from the top.

"Um?"

Xu Bai gave a soft "hmm." He didn't feel any resistance from the tree, and the whole process went smoothly.

He stopped, dispelling Myriad Attacks, but the golden and grayish-white Heavenly Change still enveloped him, forming a defensive barrier.

His gaze lingered on the topmost head, and he said with interest, "You think I'm handsome, right? That's why you turned into my likeness."

Just now, as the tree gradually turned to ashes from the top down, the nearest head suddenly opened its eyes. As the head opened its eyes, it changed and became exactly the same as him.

His open eyes were devoid of any emotion, staring straight at Xu Bai. They weren't cold or murderous; they were simply the kind of gaze one would give someone looking at as an objective object.

When Xu Bai uttered those words, no one answered him, but the changes in the Giant Tree were the answer in reality.

One head after another opened its eyes, and each head began to transform until they all took on the appearance of Xu Bai.

The Giant Tree was very tall and large, and it had many heads on it. When all the heads turned into his own appearance, Xu Bai had a strange feeling.

"So this is what it looks like when my head is cut off?" Xu Bai grinned. "Any other tricks up your sleeve? Show me everything. If not, you might die."

The reason he stopped earlier was because of this change, and now that this change doesn't continue, Xu Bai has no intention of waiting any longer.

This time, all the heads opened their eyes, and when Xu Bai asked the question, they all opened their mouths.

"Xu Bai!"

"Xu Bai!"

"Xu Bai!"

Each head was calling his name, and when all the voices came together, it was deafening.

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow. "Why are you calling me 'Dad'?"

"Huh?"

In an instant, these heads seemed to choke on Xu Bai's words, and their voices abruptly ceased.

They seemed unsure, not expecting Xu Bai to suddenly utter such trash talk, catching them off guard.

Fortunately, they quickly realized what was happening, and each head opened its mouth again, emitting a deafening sound.

"We are you, we are all dead, you are next, why do you want to destroy us?"

"We've reserved a spot for you at the very top. After you die, you can hang your head there!"

"Come quickly, come join us! This is our destiny; we cannot escape death!"

"You... are me?" Xu Bai raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"What kind of bastards are you? You're messing with my mind. If all you're going to do is spout this nonsense, then you might as well just die."

These words come out of nowhere, and no one would take them seriously.

Xu Bai moved his hands, and the intense white light once again floated on his hands.

If there are no more, he will kill them all.

The heads opened their mouths once more, letting out a shrill scream.

"It's all fake, everything is fake!"

"You have died countless times, you have been resurrected countless times, you can't remember, you are us, and we are you!"

"Come on, we're all going to die anyway, what difference does it make whether we die sooner or later?"

His voice was like a demonic chant, every word penetrating the brain.

Xu Bai ignored their nonsense and unleashed a burst of intense white light from his hand, crushing towards the Giant Tree.

What utter nonsense!

Those who speak in a way that leaves others confused will all perish.

This time, when Myriad Attacks, mixed with golden and grayish-white Heavenly Change, descended from the sky, the Giant Tree finally began to resist.

Each head raised its head, its eyes glowing white, as did its nostrils, ears, and mouth, creating an eerie scene.

The next moment, these white lights suddenly burst forth, resisting Xu Bai's Myriad Attacks.

"Holy crap?"

Xu Bai rarely swore, but this time he did.

After saying that, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran away as fast as he could.

We can't fight them, we simply can't fight them!

He could sense that these attacks, when combined, could instantly annihilate him. What was the point of fighting? Run, he had to run!

Xu Bai used Myriad Movement Arts to the fullest, constantly dodging and weaving.

Behind them, wherever the white light went, even the surrounding space turned into nothingness.

Not only that, this Giant Tree actually raised its enormous roots and flew up, chasing after Xu Bai as if it wanted to fight to the death.

"Is this never going to end?"

Xu Bai turned to look at the Giant Tree behind him, his lips twitching slightly.

What the hell is this thing? It's one thing to claim to be one of them out of nowhere, but what does it mean to say that everything they said earlier was fake? Xu Bai felt that he had already figured out the situation of these worlds, but now these things have been added on, which was simply unbelievable to him.

Of course, now was not the time to think about these things; he just wanted to make the most of the time to escape.

Fortunately, the Giant Tree wasn't moving very fast. Perhaps it was because it had many heads hanging from it, making it a bit cumbersome, and the distance between Xu Bai and the tree didn't decrease.

Of course, it wasn't pulled apart either.

"This can't go on forever."

Xu Bai felt a headache coming on. Judging from the Giant Tree's expression, it seemed to have plenty of time to keep him company while he chased after it, but he didn't have that much time.

If things continue like this, what chance will there be of finding the progress bar? His mind raced, trying to think of a solution.

Just then, a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed his arm, and dragged him to the side.

Even someone of Xu Bai's level didn't sense it.

Xu Bai's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to resist, he felt a blur before his eyes.

The surrounding space shifted, and Xu Bai vanished from his spot.
