Are you concerned about me?

In the luxurious villa on the outskirts of Juxia City.

Si Yao was sitting on the living room sofa, idly playing with the Silver Blade Flying Dagger he had obtained from Suo Dun.

His Ice Blue Eyes were focused on the cold light playing on the blade, as if analyzing its complex microscopic structure, or perhaps just staring blankly.

Suo Dun, meanwhile, was sprawled on the backyard lawn, happily devouring a large meal.

He always seemed to be hungry.

The doorbell rang.

Without even looking up, Si Yao willed it, and the villa's front door slid open silently.

Du Qiangwei stood at the entrance. Her expression, compared to their last meeting, held less of a businesslike alienation and more complex emotions. She took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Si Yao's gaze remained fixed on the Dark Silver flying dagger in his hand. "Something wrong?"

"That... thank you for saving Huang Village," Du Qiangwei said softly, her voice much gentler than usual.

She had listened to Aunt Lianfeng's detailed account of the Huang Village incident, especially after confirming that the descending entity was likely Morgana herself. Only then did she truly grasp the severity of the situation.

The Demon King's personal arrival, according to the records of the Known Universe, was akin to a plague upon civilization, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.

Huang Village losing only a third of its population was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

And the one who created this miracle was the silver-haired man before her, who seemed indifferent to everything.

If not for him, Huang Village would likely have vanished from the map by now.

Si Yao finally lifted his gaze from the silver blade, glancing at her. His tone was flat and emotionless. "No need to thank me. I was just passing by and happened to crush a few bugs that were annoying my eyes."

His response was as sharp and distant as ever.

Yet, seeing his nonchalant demeanor only made Qiangwei more convinced that this Ancient Great God was not as ruthless as he appeared on the surface.

If he truly didn't care, he wouldn't have "passed by" Huang Village, nor would he have acted with such precise control "casually."

For a moment, Qiangwei's perception of him as "cold on the outside, warm on the inside" only deepened.

This Ancient Great God seemed to possess a peculiar kind of... Tsundere?

"Regardless, the result is that you saved many people," Qiangwei insisted. She hesitated, then couldn't help but ask, "What... exactly happened back then? Were you... not injured?"

Facing such a legendary Evil God, no matter how relaxed Si Yao appeared, she couldn't help but worry.

After all, within her limited understanding, that was one of the universe's top Terrifying Existences.

"Injured?" Si Yao looked at Qiangwei with a hint of confusion. "Do I look like I'm injured?"

"You look..." Qiangwei's eyes scanned him carefully, as if searching for any sign of injury.

Si Yao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you worried about me?"

Qiangwei was taken aback by the question, then awkwardly turned her face away, her earlobes flushing slightly. "...We've known each other for half a year now. Besides, you helped, so it's only natural to be concerned."

Growing up, she had few friends due to her unusual abilities and tough personality.

After joining the army, she was known for her strength and obedience, and few people interacted with her on an equal, caring footing. She had long been accustomed to hiding her emotions.

In her unique and alienating upbringing, Si Yao, this mysterious "Alien," had, in a way, become one of the few "friends" she could talk to.

"Is there anything else?"

Qiangwei also realized her concern might have overstepped. She adjusted her emotions, returning to her usual chilling demeanor. "Aunt Lianfeng asked me to relay that Super Seminary... specifically Aunt Lianfeng, hopes to engage in some exchanges with you regarding technology and the Pangu Civilization..."

"Tell her to come herself."

Qiangwei blinked slightly, then nodded. "Okay, I'll relay the message. Then... I won't disturb you further."

She glanced at Si Yao one last time and turned to leave the villa.

The door closed, and silence returned to the living room.

Si Yao put down the silver blade, leaned back against the soft sofa, and slowly closed his eyes.

After the battle at Huang Village, his information had entered the sights of the demons, angels, and Lieyang. Karl should know soon as well.

And the follow-up events triggered by the Huang Village battle were causing his True Points to continue to rise.

[Current True Points: 1000860]

Over a million!

He had to admit, it was worthy of an Angel!

And he already had plans for this massive amount of True Points.

Weapons!

The Colorless Realm Divine Power possessed near-unsolvable domain suppression, the Dizang Realm Divine Power was an efficient way to clear the field, and the Yongzhen Realm Divine Power could create enough momentum to be intimidating.

But against a Third Generation God Body of the same level, he lacked a decisive, fatal killing blow.

While the Dark Silver flying dagger was sharp, it was ultimately "someone else's" weapon, incompatible with his identity as a Pangu Old God, and lacked sufficiently powerful special abilities.

He needed a weapon that truly belonged to him and could match the status of "Lord of Gods."

Since the background has already been chosen, the weapon naturally needs to match.

[Weapon Name: Blood Spear

Material Setting: The spear body uses the "Paradox Singularity of Law" as its core, wrapped in "Godfall Blood Gold" forged to simulate and surpass the properties of "Nth Metal".

Ability Setting (Based on God-Slaying Weapon Principles)

Anti-Dark Singularity Core: The spear tip perpetually maintains a miniature anti-dark singularity. Any target hit will trigger localized antimatter annihilation.

Delta Radiation Field: Automatically releases Delta Radiation, continuously disintegrating Super Gene defense systems.

Law-level Gene Collapse: A "Gene Singularity" destruction that surpasses conventional God-Slaying Weapons. The Blood Spear's attack will directly trigger "Paradox of Law" at the target's Super Gene level, causing structural collapse from the conceptual level, bypassing most divine body defense mechanisms of the Third Generation and below.

Energy Singularity Silence: Where the spear point aims, it can actively create miniature "Anti-Dark Energy Singularities" or "Law Silent Fields." Instead of simply canceling, it directly "devours" or "invalidates" energy-driven attacks and defenses (Flame Bombardment, Wormhole Calculation, Energy Shields, etc.), operating on principles similar to, but superior to, the "Infinite Energy Devour" effect of God-Slaying Weapons.

Mass Singularity Liberation: Briefly and completely liberates some constraints of the "Paradox of Singularity of Law," granting the Blood Spear near-infinite mass-increasing effects (simulating the amplification effect of a Black Hole Engine, though fundamentally different). A single strike is enough to shatter a small planet from the material plane.]

"How many True Points does it cost?"

[100,000,000]

"..." Si Yao.

"Am I seeing things, or are you malfunctioning?"

How many zeros was that?!

One hundred million True Points?

That was nowhere near the concept of the million-level cost he had anticipated!

[Ding!]

[Evaluation is correct.]

[Prompt: The "Blood Spear" you have set involves high-level concepts such as "Anti-Dark Singularity," "Delta Radiation," and "Paradox of Law," and requires "Perpetual Maintenance" and "Automatic Release." These technical concepts far exceed the scope of technologies you have currently unlocked or contacted, belonging to "deep creation from scratch." ]

[According to the principles of "Cognitive Anchoring" and "Information Pollution," the less the target understands related concepts, the harder it is for belief power to directly support high-complexity manifestation. The cost required for "Reality Distortion" increases exponentially.]

[In simple terms: Your conception of this weapon is too advanced and lacks the support of real-world technical foundations. It relies entirely on "Lies Come True," hence the enormous cost.]

[Suggested Plan: Lower the initial requirements, manifest in stages, or find related materials or technologies that already exist in the Real World as a "base" for "enchantment" or "upgrading," which can significantly reduce the cost.]

The ice-cold prompt tone quickly calmed Si Yao down.

The [Seed of Delusion] was not an omnipotent wish-granting machine; it was more like a reality modifier based on "cognition" and "information."

His settings for the "Blood Spear" were entirely based on his imagination of God-Slaying Weapon principles and boasts about higher dimensions, lacking solid "technical details" and "real-world reference points."

It was like an ancient person imagining a smartphone out of thin air. No matter how fantastically he described it, the amount of reality rules that needed to be distorted and the technical gaps that needed to be filled to make it manifest would be massive, and the cost would naturally be astonishing.

Directly creating a fully-formed, conceptually game-changing "Blood Spear" seemed unrealistic for now.
