The evil god's twisted human form lay on Xu Shan's body, his words seemingly possessing a strange blasphemous power, involuntarily giving rise to all sorts of evil thoughts and producing a kind of depraved pleasure.

"Look at your body, it's being controlled. Those worms rooted deep within your heart make you completely unable to refuse their commands. They've stopped you from continuing your revenge!" The evil god spoke wicked words, bewitching Xu Shan: "How about this? You become my host, and I will help you twist those worms, allowing you to completely control yourself."

"At that time, you will have the power to control everything, and those tragic tragedies will no longer occur!" The evil god's body slowly became ethereal, merging with Xu Shan's body.

Suddenly, a huge object flew from afar and crashed into the distorted humanoid figure with absolute speed. Before it could completely disappear, it was smashed away. The evil god looked fiercely at Wu Donglin, who had blasted him away.

That's right, it's Wu Donglin. He's charred all over and looks extremely miserable. Then, the others present felt the temperature rise abnormally. Even though it was already night, the temperature was higher than at noon and was still rising.

A woman with delicate features and a body as tall as an iron tower came rushing towards them, bringing with her a swirl of heat. Large numbers of third-generation Zombie began to pounce on their prey like wild dogs, responding to the queen's call and running towards them.

Lu Li watched the flames soaring into the sky from afar, then came alone to the small mountain where Fang Yi was suppressed. On that small mountain, there was a scripture that was basically meaningless, which was the so-called Giant Spirit Mountain-Suppressing Incantation.

Under this incantation, Lu Li felt a slight unease. Strictly speaking, the incantation itself was useless; what was useful was the authority granted to it. The Twisted Root had distorted the entire world, and it granted this scripture that authority. From then on, this scripture had the ability to absorb the surrounding distortion power, suppress immortality, and restrain undead creatures.

However, while the Twisted Root can grant such authority, it must also possess a certain degree of legitimacy. Otherwise, loopholes may easily arise, potentially leading to the fragmentation of its authority. If such loopholes become too numerous, the Twisted Root might even split apart, and the throne of the Twisted Lord might not remain intact.

The Twisted Root is still in a state of contention. Its current actions are the result of the combined efforts of several consciousnesses and the twisted instincts. No matter how they fight for it, they are all doing so under the same premise: maintaining the integrity of the throne of the Lord of Twistedness.

"The Twisted Artifact is a product of authority. Some beings have used the Twisted Artifact, which disperses authority in large numbers, to corner the Snake People and the Yellow Skin. And this scripture seems to be a product of Twisted Root instinct."

Lu Li carefully examined the Giant Spirit Mountain-Suppressing Incantation, ignoring Fang Yi was suppressed beneath the mountain. In any case, for now, if anyone tried to break the seal on this scripture, Lu Li would intervene to stop them. He would deal with everything else after he had finished studying it.

"It seems there are quite a few people involved." If the Twisted Lord is a large company, initially there were several giants vying for complete control of the company. Then, one of the giants saw that the businesses of the other two were thriving, so he launched Twisted Wonders, attracting a large number of retail investors to the company, and incidentally kicking the two giants to the edge of a cliff.

The share mergers and acquisitions are now in full swing, with many hoping to make a fortune when the two giants die, and perhaps even gain complete control of the Twisted Lord in the future.

"However, this company is a trap. The winner takes all, and the loser loses everything. Doros and the others still have an advantage." Lu Li thought to himself, "It's just a world connected to the main world, and it's already so sought after. The competition in the main world must be even more brutal. There's a reason why I was tricked by Nyar."

Lu Li is currently in a dilemma: he wants to seize this fortress, but he doesn't want to fall into the trap of the Twisted Lord. Even if Gresta comes, he might not be able to arrive in time. These thoughts are running through Lu Li's mind, and he is actually feeling irritable.

"My emotions are really off right now. Maybe I should just give up here and move on to somewhere else..." The secondary brain in Lu Li's mind was screaming wildly, forcibly correcting Lu Li's thoughts.

"I almost ran away just now?" Lu Li kept adjusting his thoughts. Only then did he realize how much the intrusion of Doros twisted power had affected him.

"I must have been misled again. The position of the Twisted Lord is still uncertain. Even though Doros and the others have the advantage, they are still being restrained. So, after I created the Zombie, I should have decisively agreed to the Twisted Root and accepted the position of Hou Qing. As the Zombie King, I could have entered the Twisted Root and competed for the position of Twisted Lord."

"Unfortunately, it's too late now. I've already shut out the Twisted Root. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems there was no reason to reject the Twisted Root at all back then. I'm not Fang Yi, who harbors resentment." Lu Li gradually realized that he had been tricked again without realizing it.

Lu Li squinted. He really couldn't underestimate these indescribable things. One wrong move and he'd been tricked. He'd almost slunk away from this world just now, completely fooled.

"Since the path through the Twisted Lord is blocked, we have to find another way. I'll get my revenge." Lu Li raised an eyebrow. Don't be fooled by how easily Doros was expelled from the main world by Nyar. It was actually because Nyar had an absolute advantage. Doros might be slightly weaker than Nyar, but not by much.

Lu Li raced. If the right path was blocked, then he could only take the wrong one, go all the way down this path, and carry forward the Zombie clan's suicidal spirit to achieve something in this world.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Li destroyed the Giant Spirit Mountain-Suppressing Incantation and flashed away. Since the Twisted Root couldn't directly Destruction the Zombie race, it meant that this world wasn't yet being ravaged by the Twisted Root. According to previous information, humanity in this world hadn't been completely distorted, meaning they had a breakthrough point there.

"To develop a cultivation method that is different from the Twisted Artifacts, absorbing the power of distortion but not leaning towards it, that is, to develop a true Correctors, no, to pursue the truth, it should be a cultivator!" This crazy idea appeared in Lu Li's mind, because it was basically going against all the great beings.

They are vying for the position of the Twisted Lord, while what Lu Li wants to do is dismantle the materials of the Twisted Lord's position to create another throne. It's incredibly crazy, but it's also quite interesting to think about!
