Six Ren Divine Mechanism Disk

A single cheeky sentence caused the entire Journey Survival to explode.

The Moon was livestreaming, with a chat window visible in the bottom left corner.

Milk Dragon: "What is this thing? A moon just popped out of my Scroll!"

Barefoot Great Physician: "Same here, what is it?"

Sparrow: "My moon is being a smart-aleck, I want to punch it."

Orchid Pavilion Scholar: "I tried, it's useless. You can't hit it."

On the Scroll, the Moon leaned back. Though it clearly lacked facial features, it gave the impression that it was clutching its stomach in a mocking laugh: "I just love the look on your faces—gritting your teeth, yet completely helpless."

Everyone bared their teeth; many were already demanding to know who the Moon was, if it was the entity behind Journey Survival, and why they had been abducted to this place.

The Moon acted smug, showing absolutely no intention of answering.

Instead, it provoked them: "Oh, young Path Seekers, I am delighted to inform you that the seven-day novice protection period is about to end!"

"These dull, boring days are finally coming to an end. The life of licking blood from a blade and dancing on the edge of death that you've all been longing for is finally arriving!!!"

As soon as the Moon spoke, the chat area was instantly flooded with a screen full of exclamation marks.

They had only been here for six and a half days, and the population had already dropped by nearly half—a 50% mortality rate—and it called this an easy life?!

A chorus of people began to curse.

Zhu Jiusi narrowed his eyes as he watched the Scroll. This Moon had appeared too early!

Last time, it didn't emerge until the seven-day novice protection period had completely passed, appearing at the same time the sun rose on the eighth day.

Why had it appeared half a day early this time?

Zhu Jiusi lowered his head in deep thought.

This Journey Survival was not a perfect repeat of the last one. Although it was the same group of people, and familiar faces were often seen in the chat area.

But their experiences were not exactly the same. This certainly wasn't the butterfly effect caused by him; he didn't have that much power yet.

It could only mean that Journey Survival inherently possessed a high degree of randomness.

Even if it were the same people restarting, their experiences would still differ.

The Moon had also appeared ahead of schedule.

Zhu Jiusi looked at the Scroll, where the crescent moon seemed eager to put its hands on its hips and cackle.

"Everyone is clearly impatient to start the real adventure. As the Moon in charge of the 66th District of the Immortal Seeking Domain, how could I fail to meet your expectations? I've applied for an early end to your protection period!"

"Young Path Seekers, be excited! Tremble! Revel to your heart's content tonight!"

After saying this, it wiggled its body and vanished.

A wave of cursing erupted in the chat area.

They didn't know what the novice protection zone was, but even if they hadn't seen a pig run, they had certainly eaten pork. It was hard to imagine what kind of crisis this hellish Journey Survival would have once novice protection was gone!

This place—the Master of Cloud Stack Cave had even encountered a zombie!

As the crowd cursed, the Scroll suddenly lit up again. The Moon returned, acting shifty: "By the way, you can call me Third Day today. Don't thank me! Enjoy the adventure of Journey Survival to the fullest! Today's monsters are extra gentle!"

This time, it disappeared completely and did not come out again.

Sparrow: "We can call him Third Day today, what does that mean? Should we call him Fourth Day tomorrow?"

Smart!

Zhu Jiusi praised, though it was a pity his pig body no longer had thumbs, or he would have certainly given the bird a thumbs-up.

This Moon did indeed change its name every day, waxing and waning along with the days.

Master of Cloud Stack Cave: "Forget about the Moon for a moment, the thick fog on both sides has changed!"

Zhu Jiusi sent a reminder in the chat area.

Someone immediately responded, Cherry: "Damn it, there are monsters popping out!"

Cherry: [Video]

In the video, a White-Haired Zombie lunged out of the thick fog, and the next moment, the video ended. Cherry's avatar had also turned black.

In an instant, everyone was wailing in misery.

Apple Has No Muscle: "@Master of Cloud Stack Cave, Great Master, use a Dao Discussion Card to get to me, I've run into two White-Haired Zombies! Save me!"

As soon as he spoke, many others began tagging Zhu Jiusi simultaneously.

Some even started hurling insults.

Master of Cloud Stack Cave: "Are you sure?"

He posted a picture: in the clouds and mist, a green-skinned zombie lunged out, its eyes glowing with a blood-red light as it stared at the person filming.

Master of Cloud Stack Cave: "I'm not sure if I teleport over, I might bring this thing with me. Whoever wants me to come, I'm ready to go at any time!"

The chat area went instantly silent.

Although it was a zombie, one look at that Green-Hat Zombie was enough to know it was not to be trifled with.

Master of Cloud Stack Cave, pray for your own good fortune!

Zhu Jiusi stood in his nest, tilting his head as he stared at the Green-Hat Zombie.

The moon in Journey Survival should not have the authority to change the rules.

The seven-day novice protection period was an ironclad law; it could not be altered!

Had someone triggered some special treasure? Bypassed the statutes?

Such things might be possible in the later stages, but Journey Survival had only just begun!

He was at a loss; this was the one thing he found most annoying about Journey Survival. One was forced to passively receive so much information.

The Green-Haired Zombie circled Zhu Jiusi's nest, hissing and roaring, but it did not attack.

The nest was a safe zone!

Just a moment ago, when the Green-Haired Zombie first emerged, it had lunged at Zhu Jiusi. There had been no obstacles between them, and Zhu Jiusi had instinctively dropped his nest to use as a shield.

Master of Cloud Stack Cave: "@everyone, return to your nests or vehicles! Monsters cannot attack the nests!"

As if afraid people wouldn't see it, he spammed the chat repeatedly, just as he had done when summarizing the laws of the journey before.

He sent seven or eight messages in a row.

Many people were encountering various monsters at that very moment and were struggling to survive when they saw Zhu Jiusi's message.

A group of people immediately put it to the test.

Rain Seeker flicked her tail, leaped up from her skateboard, and smashed a small bubble on her back forward, which transformed into a water vat. She dove inside.

The massive Leopard Cat that had been chasing her stopped pursuing.

Orchid Pavilion Scholar held a steel saber in his hand, dealing with two White-Haired Zombies simultaneously. He severed the claw of one zombie with a single strike, and the moment the other zombie lunged, he immediately rolled backward, shrinking toward his vehicle without a shred of dignity.

The zombies, as expected, could not advance any further.

Just as everyone was hiding, words appeared on Zhu Jiusi's Scroll.

[Reward: A Path Seeker has summarized the second statute of Journey Survival; a reward is granted!]

This time, a beam of cyan light shot out from the Scroll and vanished into the center of Zhu Jiusi's brow.

A rune?

Zhu Jiusi was stunned, and an inexplicable sensation welled up within him.

It wasn't a rune; it was a treasure.

Six Ren Divine Mechanism Disk.

It could absorb a certain amount of resources to arrange a chart and perform a divination...

Pah, pah, pah!

Bad luck!

Zhu Jiusi shook his head violently, his pair of pig ears flapping against his face with a loud slapping sound.

Forget it!

Forget it!

What kind of cursed thing is this?!

Journey Survival strictly forbade the existence of divination or fortune-telling; anyone involved was guaranteed to die.

It's trying to trap me!

Zhu Jiusi stared blankly at the Scroll, feeling as if the Enforcement Squad would descend upon him at any second.

But the sky remained clear, the crescent moon hung high, and nothing happened.

Was the punishment delayed because he hadn't used it yet?

Zhu Jiusi was trembling with fear.

He decided then and there that he would let this Six Ren Divine Mechanism Disk gather dust in his mind; he would never use it, not even once in this lifetime!

Zhu Jiusi gasped in terror, but he didn't let a hint of it show on his face, appearing as if he were merely examining his reward.

A sentence rose on the Scroll:

"Congratulations to the Path Seeker for summarizing the second statute. Would you like to make a Myriad World Announcement?"
