A chance to become a Transcendent

[Analysis in progress...]

[Analysis complete.]

[Option A leads to a medieval world where gods and Cthulhu coexist. Countless gods and faiths flourish there, with corruption and eldritch mysteries as its prevailing themes.]

[The instant you choose A, everyone will be transported there, entering a stranger, more uncontrollable world from that moment onward.]

As the analysis of Option A finished,

Lin Yu's pupils dilated slightly.

Holy shit!

Cthulhu stuff!

Luckily, he had his analysis ability. If he had blindly chosen A and entered the Cthulhu World, he might as well have slit his throat right now. In the Cthulhu World, even dying a normal death counted as a relatively good ending.

Lin Yu immediately ruled out Option A and turned his attention to Option B.

This was the last way forward...

Please don't let my luck be too awful!

As for Option C...

I'd rather go to the Cthulhu World!

[Analysis in progress...]

[Analysis complete.]

[Option B can open the transcendent gate for the person making the choice, granting them a chance to become a Transcendent. Risk: 0. Strongly recommended.]

The instant he read those words,

Lin Yu's heartbeat accelerated, and excitement surged through him!

What [Choice] B offered was actually a chance to become a Transcendent!

Open the transcendent gate and become a Transcendent.

That made sense!

Perfect sense!

He...

Did he finally have a chance to become a Transcendent too?!

Ye Qing stood very close to Lin Yu and noticed his unusual reaction immediately. She frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Did your [Sixth Sense] give you a bad feeling?"

At the sound of Ye Qing's voice,

everyone else turned to look as well.

During their previous choices, Lin Yu's [Sixth Sense] had given them the right answer every time.

This time...

Had he sensed something bad?

Lin Yu suppressed his excitement and exhilaration, shaking his head slightly.

"No. I just feel that I should make the [Choice] myself this time. But I can't see the road ahead, so I don't know whether it's good or bad. That's why I'm torn and hesitating."

Shen Sui frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on Lin Yu's face as he studied him, seemingly trying to work out what Lin Yu was thinking...

Could it be...

There was something to gain from this [Choice]?

Was that why Lin Yu wanted to do it himself?

Once again, Shen Sui had seen straight through Lin Yu's thoughts, but he couldn't be certain.

Suddenly,

a filthy man in tattered clothes sprang up from the crowd and rushed toward the screen of light with crazed excitement, shouting as he ran, "I choose C! I choose C! I want to become a follower of God! Hahahahaha!"

In that instant,

everyone's expression changed!

Fuck!

There was a fucking lunatic here!

Option C, a ticket to becoming His follower.

Damn it.

If that choice went through, they'd be tied to Him!

Everyone here might die!

Yellow Hair reacted lightning-fast, shooting forward like a bolt of lightning and launching a flying kick!

Bam!

The man flew more than ten meters, seven or eight of his ribs snapping. He spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving a crimson streak through the air...

But at that moment,

no one had the presence of mind to check whether he was dead. Their faces grim, everyone stared fixedly at the screen overhead, terrified that [Choice successful] would appear the very next second.

Fortunately...

Several seconds passed.

The screen showed no reaction.

The [Unique] in this choice had not acknowledged the man.

Only then did everyone breathe out in relief.

Fuck...

That had nearly been a disaster!

Zhai Guang's eyes brimmed with savage fury, a bloody aura spreading around him as he roared,

"You motherfucker! Trying to get me killed?!"

With that,

Zhai Guang charged toward the man, radiating murderous intent. His eyes were filled with cruelty, savagery, and rage!

In the blink of an eye,

he reached the man.

Zhai Guang furiously hoisted him up, fixing his scarlet eyes on him as he snarled with brutal madness, "You fucking want to die, don't you? I'll grant your wish!"

Only now did the man finally come to his senses, his eyes filling with terror.

"No..."

"Don't..."

Before he could finish,

Zhai Guang grinned viciously and pulled hard with both arms!

Riiip!

He tore the man straight in half!

Flesh split into two pieces!

Blood sprayed all over Zhai Guang!

At that moment, Zhai Guang looked like a demon that had broken out of hell, hideous and terrifying beyond measure.

The survivors recoiled in fright, screaming involuntarily as they backed away with pale faces, unable to even look at Zhai Guang...

This...

Zhai Guang was even more terrifying than an anomaly!

As for Lin Yu, never before had he supported Zhai Guang's actions as wholeheartedly as he did at that moment.

Good! Tear him apart!

He deserved it!

Fuck!

Not only had that man nearly destroyed his dream of becoming a Transcendent, he could have fucking attracted one of "Them"!

That fucking idiot!

If he wanted to kill himself, couldn't he just slit his throat with a knife?

Shen Sui's gaze was icy, his eyes dark and unreadable.

He was deeply dissatisfied with what had just happened!

It seemed it was time to establish new rules!

Shen Sui looked at the survivors and said coldly,

"From today onward, anyone who wishes to participate in a [Choice] must report it in advance and obtain permission. If someone makes a [Choice] without authorization, anyone may kill them on the spot!"

"Uncle Zhao and Su Man will be responsible for supervision."

"Anyone else who stops them will also receive a reward."

Su Man was astonished. She hadn't expected Shen Sui to call her out by name.

But she understood that it was because she had injected the Gene Enhancement Fluid and was far stronger than an ordinary person. Although she couldn't compare to a Transcendent, she was still capable of handling supervision.

Uncle Zhao and Su Man immediately responded.

"Yes!"

Still shaken, the other survivors hastily agreed as well.

"Yes!"

Shen Sui glanced toward Zhai Guang again and said,

"Clean up the blood as quickly as possible. Once we leave the instance, it could attract enemies."

Zhai Guang's lips curled cruelly, and he nodded.

"Understood."

As someone on the flesh pathway, Zhai Guang could absorb blood, so the little bit on his body was no issue at all. He could absorb every last drop in less than a minute.

Now,

it was time for the [Choice] again.

Shen Sui looked at Lin Yu and spoke slowly.

"What do you intend to choose?"

"As captain, I'm willing to vouch for you. Go ahead without worrying."

The longer they delayed, the more could go wrong.

Even though all three options were deeply strange,

he still decided to put his trust in Lin Yu this once.

They had to gamble either way.

They might as well let this Transcendent with [Sixth Sense] take the gamble.

Lin Yu raised his head and looked at the screen, his expression calm.

"I want to choose... B."

The moment Lin Yu finished speaking,

in an instant,

the screen rippled.

A ray of light brimming with the power of space and time shot down from above, selecting Lin Yu and summoning him to an unknown place. His body in the real world vanished instantly.

At the sight,

everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.

Overhead,

the screen continued to ripple, but there were no longer any words on it.

That meant...

The [Choice] was still underway.

They needed to wait.

Shen Sui looked up at the screen and said evenly,

"It seems his luck is good. The [Unique] acknowledged him."

Yellow Hair tilted his head, casually examining the screen overhead.

"Holy shit, he just vanished like that? Is he coming back for dinner?!"

Shen Sui closed his eyes and said calmly,

"I believe he can come back alive."

The corners of Ye Qing's lips lifted slightly.

"So do I. Someone like him won't die that easily."

(Time for a guessing game with no prizes: what do you think Lin Yu's first pathway will be?)
