Live As Long As Possible
The fog dissipated.
Before my eyes reappeared the solid metal hall that resembled an arena.
But now it's pitch black here.
Apart from the fact that the body had been cleaned up, the rest of the area was in a mess, as if it had been abandoned.
"Master, is there no one here?" Zhu Xingguo asked, looking around.
Wang Wen did not speak.
He noticed a strange phenomenon: the ground was messy and unkempt, but the entrance to the passageway, which should have collapsed, had returned to its original state.
Since it's already abandoned, why bother with all that?
He was somewhat puzzled.
It's alright, though.
I'm here purely to replenish my mana.
With so much progress, I should be able to beat the game instantly.
I just want to replenish my energy before clearing the level.
Last time, I used [Unity with Heaven and Man] to increase the number of times [Unity with Heaven and Man] can be used.
Used once, replenished twice.
One in and one out equals making a fortune.
It's just a bit wasteful of resources.
I'm not familiar with the new levels, and I'm not sure if I've made any progress, so I'll stick with the old levels for safety.
There are Cassia Seed and Fox on the 500th floor; it shouldn't be disturbed easily.
600 floors should be no problem.
I suppose that "500-point" gentleman wouldn't mind.
I used one more time for [Unity with Heaven and Man]. I used it to replenish energy first. If the energy is fully replenished and there is still time and the world can hold on, I vowed to increase the number of skill uses.
If you can make a profit even once, it's a huge win!
Wang Wen made up her mind, stroked the Scepter, and prepared to swear an oath.
Zhu Xingguo pulled everyone close to Wang Wen's side. He knew that once his master unleashed his ultimate move, the world would collapse, and only those within a meter of him were safe.
Cheng Queyi was suddenly pulled close to Wang Wen, and at first she was startled.
After hearing Zhu Xingguo's explanation, she was no longer surprised. Her face flushed, and she smiled so hard her eyes turned into crescent moons as she leaned close to Wang Wen.
Chen Hansheng also stayed obediently by Wang Wen's side.
Mo Ran, on the other hand, seemed somewhat unaccustomed to it.
He shifted his body and said jokingly, "How dangerous is it? Can it be more terrifying than a nuclear bomb?"
Zhu Xingguo swallowed hard, then pulled him closer, saying earnestly, "Don't go out, it's really dangerous outside!"
Everyone was ready.
Wang Wen vowed to begin replenishing her energy, while simultaneously using [Unity with Heaven and Man], causing the air around her body to surge.
At this moment.
The lights in the metal hall suddenly blazed on.
A clicking or rattling sound came from underground, as if some hidden mechanism was being activated.
A group of people appeared outside the glass above their heads.
The leader was that "500 points" guy.
He looked down at Wang Wen, laughing triumphantly, "I knew it! I've got her... oh my god!"
Inside the hall, outside the hall.
Everything was trembling.
The world was like a bell struck by a giant hammer, emitting a heart-wrenching roar.
Someone in the crowd outside the glass was still asking in confusion, "Is this the kind of noise the mechanical giant makes when it starts up? Or have they switched to a new product?"
Before she could finish speaking, the entire glass wall shattered into dust and flowed towards Wang Wen.
The crowd remained motionless.
Ignoring everything else, 500 points unleashed his ultimate move, summoning a blizzard that hurtled towards Wang Wen, while simultaneously freezing himself into a thick ice cocoon.
Coupled with the oncoming wind and snow.
Zhu Xingguo seemed to see once again the scene he had witnessed in that icy and snowy land.
Snow fell heavily.
The sea and sky meet at the horizon.
Outside of the one-meter radius around Wang Wen, the entire world seemed to be collapsing.
Including the metal hall, all the seemingly indestructible man-made technologies are as fragile as paper.
A steel plate several centimeters thick was easily twisted and folded like a soft slice of bread.
The local aborigines, emboldened, shattered the glass barriers into dust.
The metal hall was even softer than Zhu Xingguo's Gourmet Bread.
The hard ground was lifted up.
The massive steel frame beneath was exposed, along with a humanoid mechanical object.
The mechanical object was terrifying; at a glance, the line of sight could only reach its shoulders, and the rest of its body was hidden in darkness and could not be seen.
Even the half of his body exposed to the light was almost the size of the hall.
It is slowly starting up at this moment.
Slowly.
Compared to Wang Wen's speed of devouring the world.
Mechanical objects start up very slowly.
And soon, it won't need to be started.
His body broke apart inch by inch, turning into fluid that surged toward Wang Wen.
All the exquisite parts with their cool coatings became worthless junk, transformed into the purest power of heaven and earth, filling Wang Wen's energy.
This world.
It seems more like that world...
It's delicious and satisfying.
Wang Wen thought to herself with some surprise.
He felt his energy rapidly returning, and a sense of fullness he hadn't felt in a long time gradually returned.
He let out a long, satisfied sigh.
Mo Ran, huddled inside the "bubble," was filled with lingering fear upon seeing the "horrific" state of the outside world.
Fortunately, I listened to Zhu Xingguo's advice.
If I had actually stayed outside with that kind of world-destroying power, I would probably have been reduced to dust by now.
Less than half an hour.
The metal hall was empty.
A complete and utter emptiness.
This includes the entire building, the enormous mechanical body underground, and everything around it.
A three-dimensional space spanning nearly a kilometer.
Everything turned into powder and was absorbed by the "bubbles".
Only the "bubble" and a single ice cocoon floating in the distance were visible.
Wang Wen's energy is finally full.
He glanced at the timer for [Unity with Heaven and Man], and there were still seven and a half hours left.
This is the first time I've felt that the state of "Unity with Heaven and Man" has lasted so long.
There's still enough time.
This world seems to be quite resilient to being "eaten".
Significant progress is also on the horizon.
Wang Wen started working.
Without further ado, let's replenish the [Unity with Heaven and Man] skill usage counts we just used!
He picked up the Scepter and began to silently recite the next oath.
Just then...
The ice cocoon on the opposite side seemed to sense that the turmoil in the outside world had subsided.
A small piece melted slightly.
His long, ashen face, which had been strained to maintain composure, was now revealed, revealing a man with 500 points on his head.
He poked half his head out of the ice and said coldly to Wang Wen, "Last time I saw you, you had just awakened and couldn't even break through my basic defenses, only able to bully those trashy Guides. I never expected you to have such strength in such a short time! I can't help but admire you!"
He peered into the empty surroundings, his tone tinged with regret. "That kind of superpowered attack must have been incredibly taxing, right? If you could have maintained that momentum, the Empire might have forgiven you for your exceptional talent, considering how many nobles died. Too bad... oh my god..."
The 500-point question wasn't finished yet.
The surrounding world roared again.
This time.
It seemed even louder and... more piercing than before.
A desperate howl, as if the air was being overwhelmed, could be heard from the surging air currents.
The world seems to be struggling to keep up with Wang Wen's eating habits.
The ice cocoon closed up again.
But this time it seemed to be teetering on the brink of collapse.
It soon became covered with cracks.
The 500 points inside emitted terrified screams.
Wang Wen thought for a moment.
Carrying the Scepter, he slowly floated to the side of the ice cocoon, supporting everyone.
First, lower the aircraft you're holding with your left hand and tuck it between your legs.
After freeing up his left hand, he pointed towards the ice cocoon.
A [Mental Shield] was added to it, and as much energy as possible was converted into mental energy input.
The screams inside the ice cocoon gradually stopped. A tiny bit melted, revealing half a face, which looked at Wang Wen, who was casting a shield for itself, with a face full of question marks, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Wang Wen noticed his confusion.
He patiently advised, "Please try your best to live, don't give up easily!"
