[That was terrifying. I found a copper coin on the roadside last night, and that night I had a nightmare. A blurry figure told me it was the money he'd paid to buy his life. Now that I'd taken it, he was coming to take my body!!!]

"The OP's done for. That's a dead man's life-buying money. Better start making funeral arrangements."

"What's the big deal? If it were me, I'd just toss the coin into a temple's donation box. Then we'd see who collects from whom. (Sly.jpg)"

"The person above is a genius. I laughed so hard snot bubbles came out of my nose. But now I want to know who collects from whom too."

"Ghost: Damn it, you're not following the script!"

"Buddha: I feel personally attacked! (Slaps table, laughs wildly.jpg)"

[I dreamed last night that the drought demon descended upon the world, leaving a thousand miles of barren land. What does that symbolize? Any experts at dream interpretation who can help me analyze it?]

"OP, that's a great question. So here's a new one: the drought demon symbolizes drought, while Jam Hsiao symbolizes rain. What would happen if they were in the same place?"

"The person above asked an excellent question too. I'm no expert, but I happen to know a thing or two about this. One more question: have you ever been in a sauna? (Sly.jpg)"

[I used to think the terrifying incidents people discussed online were fake, until I experienced one myself.]

Content:

I'm a photographer. A few days ago, I got a job from a couple who ran a clothing business. Their child was turning two, and they wanted me to take a few videos and portrait photos of the baby.

It was afternoon when I got my equipment ready and headed over that day.

I went to their home at the address they'd given me. The couple welcomed me warmly and asked me a few questions about the shoot. They also made some requests, so I explained the process in detail before getting ready to take the photos.

We were going to shoot the first video in the bedroom, with the child posing on the bed.

For some reason, the child was incredibly rambunctious. He kept bouncing around on the bed and wouldn't settle down or listen.

Then, in the middle of the shoot, an accident happened.

The child suddenly bounced off the bed and hit the floor. He stopped breathing on the spot.

They rushed him to the hospital, but the doctors couldn't save him. He died.

When I heard the news, I was stunned. I couldn't believe that a child who'd been so full of life moments earlier was suddenly gone.

Afterward, the child's grief-stricken parents asked me to send them the videos and photos I'd taken, so they could keep them as mementos.

I didn't think much of it at the time. I just opened my computer, ready to process the videos and photos before sending them to the couple.

But when I watched the footage I'd taken at their home, a chill ran down my spine.

In the video, a huge, blood-red hand was gripping the child as he stood on the bed. It lifted him up and set him down again and again, then finally hurled him to the floor.

So the child hadn't been bouncing around on his own that day...

I haven't been sleeping well these past few days. I'm scared. It feels like I encountered something unclean.

"That scared me so much, I hugged my girlfriend tight!"

"Holy crap, now I'm afraid to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. OP, get out here and clear this up already. Tell me it's all fake!"

"Clicked this by accident. May the gods and ghosts stay away! I'm outta here!"

"Nice story. It's obviously fake. Is that even worth questioning? I'm not scared at all!"

As he browsed the forum, the bizarre experiences shared by netizens made a certain steel-hearted tough guy, who'd been staring intently at his phone, quietly pull his foot back under the covers.

The barrier was up. All demons and ghosts, begone.

The situation was getting worse and worse.

Now, "terrifying incidents" were happening all over the world. Most netizens believed the online horror stories were only gaining traction because people were hyping them up, and that they were entirely made up.

But Tang Yu, hiding under his covers at that very moment, knew the truth all too well. The world was undergoing a transformation. Another world was invading his own.

Things were still relatively manageable for now. But once the two worlds had fully merged, the evil spirits and all manner of terrifying creatures lurking in the other world would appear in people's lives.

When demons and evil spirits ran rampant across the world, it would be hell for humanity.

At the thought, Tang Yu closed his eyes.

He decided to move up his plan.

His consciousness detached, and when he opened his eyes again, a grand palace of ice crystal stood before him. Ice sculptures of all kinds of creatures filled the space ahead, packed so densely that they stretched beyond the horizon.

In the frigid air, he could faintly hear bursts of weeping, as if they were recounting the story of an ancient golden age when gods had filled the world—a golden age that had gradually fallen from its peak...

This was a tomb where the ancient gods and demons of Earth lay buried.

And now, Tang Yu was the inheritor of this God-Demon Tomb. He could also be called its gravekeeper.

It was here that Tang Yu had learned some of the secrets of the other world, and discovered that it was invading his own.

When he'd first obtained this space, Tang Yu had been utterly lost, especially after learning that his world was about to be devoured.

But as he came to understand the God-Demon Space better, he gradually found his confidence.

He decided to use the power of the fallen gods to fight the calamity that was coming.

Over the course of several months, he'd used his authority over the God-Demon Space to transform it completely into a data-driven space.

Every piece of information inside could be analyzed and converted into data.

He decided to unite all of humanity and wage war on the other world.

Of course, besides fighting for the greater good of the Human Race, Tang Yu also had his own private motives.

But according to his plan, he wouldn't let all of humanity learn the terrifying truth. Instead, he would carry out this arduous counter-invasion without anyone noticing.

As Tang Yu focused his mind, the space of the God-Demon Tomb responded to his control. It pierced through the spatial barrier and appeared in another world: the Boundless Realm.

The evil spirits gradually appearing in people's lives were coming from here.

In this world, evil spirits ran rampant and demons held sway.

There were beasts ten thousand meters tall that could stir up wind and clouds with a wave of their hands; evil spirits wreathed in flames that could turn a thousand miles of land barren with a single breath; and demons that had slept for ten thousand years, waking once in a while to drain the blood of every living thing within a hundred miles... Countless races stood side by side, the strong preyed on the weak, and this fantastical world was filled with every creature people could imagine.

These were the terrifying creatures humanity would have to face in the future.

Tang Yu moved the invisible, concealed tomb space through the Boundless Realm. He soon found his target.

A blue vortex hovered five thousand meters above the ground.

When his consciousness passed through the blue vortex, a brand-new world appeared before him.

This world was in ruins. Most of it was shrouded in gray, and only a tiny portion had survived.

There were many other Minor Worlds like this in the Boundless Realm.

They were worlds that had been devoured and destroyed by the Boundless Realm during the merging process, eventually collapsing into Minor Worlds attached to it.

This was what Earth and all of humanity would face in the future too.

Once he entered the Minor World, Tang Yu began his plan to transform it.

At Tang Yu's command, the laws within the tomb space seeped out, turning into bands of five-colored light that wound around the shattered Minor World.

Since the Minor World's consciousness had already perished when the world collapsed, Tang Yu encountered no resistance from its "will" as he repaired it. The process went smoothly.

Tang Yu had actually been repairing the Minor World for more than ten days.

Now came the most crucial step: binding the Minor World completely to his God-Demon Tomb and making it an attached space within the God-Demon Space.

Once he completed this step, he could set his plan to fight the Boundless Realm in motion.
