A conversation with the phantom

During the previous world war, Qingxue had vaguely sensed through her connection with Shen Hui's Creation World that something seemed amiss there.

However, because she was busy at the time and it didn't feel real, Qingxue thought she was just overthinking things because she missed Shen Hui too much.

But now it seems she wasn't overthinking things, because she clearly sensed that Shen Hui's Creation World was facing immense danger.

This danger should be enough to completely destroy the Creation World.

She immediately activated her power, wanting to merge her Creation World with Shen Hui's Death World, thereby enhancing the power of Shen Hui's Creation World.

But she couldn't do it; it was as if some force was blocking the channel through which they could merge together.

Not only that, even her subtle perception of Shen Hui's Creation World weakened, as if it were about to disconnect.

So Qingxue's expression changed instantly; Shen Hui must be in some great danger at this moment.

Under Leng Zimeng's questioning, Qingxue briefly recounted what she had sensed: that Shen Hui was in great danger.

During this time, Huang Lingheng, who was in high spirits, also noticed their conversation.

Upon hearing that Shen Hui might be in danger, the smile on his face immediately vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

"What's wrong? Is Shen Hui in some kind of danger? Can you tell me the specifics?"

Qingxue shook her head anxiously. "I don't know. I don't even know where Shen Hui is, but he must have encountered something in the Chaos Forbidden Domain Universe."

In this vast and boundless Chaos Forbidden Domain Universe, even if you know Shen Hui's coordinates, if the distance is far enough, it's impossible to get there in a short time.

Not to mention that we don't even know the coordinates, only that the other party is in danger, so trying to help is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

"What do we do now?" Leng Zimeng also seemed a little at a loss.

Zhiyue, who was standing nearby, also heard their conversation. She became even calmer and immediately spoke up to remind them, "Now we can only ask the Fool."

Upon hearing this, they immediately realized that the strongest person here was undoubtedly the Fool, who was also the most mysterious, and no one knew if he had any tricks up his sleeve.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qingxue asked the Fool, "The Fool, Shen Hui seems to be in danger. Can you help him?"

From the very beginning, many people noticed what Qingxue and her group were talking about, and there was no joy on their faces.

Now, upon hearing what Qingxue said, they immediately shifted their attention to her.

Upon hearing that Shen Hui had encountered danger, some of them expressed their doubts.

"Huh? Shen Hui, he's not here."

"What business is it of ours if Shen Hui is in danger? Didn't he come to the Chaos Forbidden Domain with that group from the World Association?"

Some of them showed expressions of interest, especially the Chariot, whose smile turned into a sneer of "serves him right."

When the Fool heard Qingxue's plea for help, it was unclear whether he had expected it or was not surprised at all, as his actions and tone remained completely unchanged.

"Oh, a chosen one of Death God? I don't know where he is, and I can't help him."

"Shouldn't your authority be the best thing to help him?"

"I... I can't use my powers. Something is blocking me."

Qingxue clenched her fist. If even the Fool couldn't help, what should she do?

When the Fool heard Qingxue say that she couldn't use her powers, he finally changed. His tone quickened, and it was hard to tell whether he was excited or anxious.

"Oh, I see. But if you can't do anything about it, then we can't either."

"And if even the power of authority can be suppressed, then the danger he faces..."

The Fool didn't finish his sentence, but those present knew that what followed was likely to be ominous, or at least something similar.

Furthermore, given that these words were uttered by the Fool, and in the unknown Chaos Forbidden Domain, it was likely a situation with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.

Shen Hui is probably dead.

When someone thought of that, Qingxue's expression turned pale instantly, and she felt a wave of dizziness, almost collapsing.

Leng Zimeng noticed and immediately helped her up.

"I can no longer sense... Shen Hui's Creation World..."

The subtle connection she had with Shen Hui's Creation World vanished instantly, as if Shen Hui's Creation World had ceased to exist.

Huang Lingheng's face showed disbelief. "No way... Shen Hui is so powerful, how could something happen to him here..."

Zhiyue blinked, wanting to say something but then stopped, hesitating before speaking again, "This is the Chaos Forbidden Domain, not the Sea of Stars we are familiar with and relatively safe. We don't know what exactly happened, so it's uncertain."

Zhang Qingfeng chimed in, "Shen Hui is such an interesting kid, and he's certainly got some skills. How could he possibly be in trouble? Maybe he just encountered something else."

However, the Devil immediately added, "Hey, hey, hey, don't be so optimistic. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Shouldn't we be thinking about the worst-case scenario? Besides, judging from the current situation, isn't the chance of encountering something unforeseen greater?"

"Life is unpredictable, and death is uncertain. No matter how famous Shen Hui was before, he was just a minor creator."

"Let alone in the Chaos Forbidden Domain, anyone could encounter danger even in the Sea of Stars; it just so happens that it was Shen Hui."

"He's just a Death God Reaper candidate. Even if we're gone, it's not a big deal."

Others joked about it.

One of the Chariot sneered, "This is just reaping what they sowed; this day was bound to come sooner or later."

While this is indeed very likely the worst-case scenario, and some people have joked and complained, none have gone as far as the Chariot's assessment.

Huang Lingheng immediately glared at him, but before he could say anything, the Fool interrupted everyone.

"Everyone, stop fooling around. Don't forget we're also in the Chaos Forbidden Domain."

He then looked at Qingxue: "Don't worry, if it were anyone else, they might really be gone, but if it's Shen Hui, I don't think so."

"He's far more mysterious than you imagine; he might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve that allowed him to escape danger."

Upon hearing the Fool's words, Qingxue, who had been feeling downcast, immediately brightened up.

Thinking of Shen Hui's usual confident demeanor, I felt much more at ease.

"Yes, as long as we haven't witnessed anything happening to Shen Hui, it doesn't count. We'll definitely encounter him again in the Chaos Forbidden Domain!"

Qingxue regained his confidence in Shen Hui; he absolutely could not allow anything to happen before he met Shen Hui.

The Fool nodded; he didn't want his team to be affected in the Chaos Forbidden Domain and cause any accidents.

With a wave of his hand, the Fool absorbed the last remaining Blank World Will Star Core and World Power of the shattered planetary world.

The World Power was divided into several parts, which eventually entered the bodies of everyone present except the Fool.

All members of the Tarot Club could feel a large amount of World Power entering their own Creation World, beginning to be absorbed and refined into the cornerstone of the advancement of world civilization.

As for the blank World Will Crystal Core, the Fool held it in his hand and said, "This thing is difficult to distribute right now, and I know of other uses besides what you are aware of, so I'll keep it with me for now."

No one objected, the Fool continued, "We've wasted too much time in the void. Let's continue. If we can find a intact planetary world, the gods that exist there must be..."

Having said that, the Fool shook his head, as if talking to himself, denying his own idea.

"The odds are too slim, and it's beyond our capabilities to fight against."

As for the void zone the Fool mentioned, it was the place where they appeared after they first entered the Chaos Forbidden Domain.

It was a region devoid of any planetary worlds, not even fragments, and according to the Fool's speculation, it had suffered a devastating blow.

So nothing remained in that area, only an endless expanse of deep darkness.

The other members had grown accustomed to the Fool's occasional self-talk, and under his leadership, the Tarot Club members set off again, beginning their journey into the distance.

Back at Shen Hui's location, all movement vanished, and the purple light representing the Tide of Void Annihilation was nowhere to be seen.

It returned to the deep black of the Chaos Forbidden Domain.

However, every now and then, a few flashes of light, like lightning, would streak across the darkness.

Under this light, one can see that it is a damaged universe, and the streaks of light are merely the result of the Chaos Forbidden Domain Universe being repaired.

In addition, the boundless crater from which the Tide of Void Annihilation erupted must have expanded again.

As for why Shen Hui was so certain, it was because the Xiao cave in the distance was much larger than Shen Hui remembered.

Finally, Shen Hui focused his senses on his surroundings.

Apart from the area of land within a few kilometers protected by the illusory figure where he stood, the rest of the land had been transformed into an invincible abyss.

Because in those places, those parts of the world have been completely shattered and destroyed.

If viewed in its entirety, this Frozen World is no longer complete; it is not a sphere.

It looks more like an incomplete circle with a bite taken out of it.

The destruction caused to the Frozen World this time is unprecedented; nothing like this has ever happened before. The fact that it has now occurred suggests two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the phantom's power was insufficient to completely resist, which led to its destruction. The next time, the Frozen World might be directly destroyed.

Shen Hui could indeed sense that the illusory figure was much weaker than before.

The second possibility is that the purple eyeball did not appear in previous Tide of Void Annihilation; this is the first time it has appeared.

But neither of these is something Shen Hui should be concerned about right now.

Shen Hui should be most concerned about right now is that towering, illusory figure that is still annotating itself.

The light barrier formed by the other party's annotation blocked all power, but why would the other party choose to protect themselves instead of using this power to protect the world to the greatest extent possible?

And what will happen next?

Shen Hui felt slightly uneasy; if the other party wanted to eliminate him, it would be incredibly easy.

Should I continue trying to open the Yog-Sothoth Star Gate or wait?

Whether the illusory figure sensed Shen Hui's thoughts or not, a faint sigh echoed in Shen Hui's ears.

Immediately afterward, the phantom shifted its gaze away from the commentary, and the light barrier enveloping the area instantly disintegrated.

Although he saw that everything was safe and sound outside while inside the light barrier, Shen Hui still sensed the lingering aura of destruction and chaotic disorder in the universe after the light barrier collapsed.

This place has been disturbed by the recent Tide of Void Annihilation and has become extremely unstable.

"Humans..."

While Shen Hui was still assessing his surroundings, the ethereal voice immediately entered Shen Hui ears.

Shen Hui skipped a beat. With an expression of utter surprise, he first looked around to make sure there was no one or any other creature nearby.

Shen Hui turned his gaze to the imposing phantom; that voice had just been spoken by the other party!

This was the first time Shen Hui had ever heard the other party speak, and the first time he had ever encountered something that should be considered a deity communicating with the creator.

What exactly are you?

Shen Hui thought for a moment, and finally said this.

Since the other party wants to communicate with me, they must want something from me, but I can't be forceful.

The towering phantom began to shrink, growing smaller as it emitted an increasingly intense light.

Finally, it was only the size of a human and landed not far in front of Shen Hui.

As the light faded, Shen Hui stared wide-eyed at the reappearing phantom, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

"Holy crap, no way..."

After the light disappeared, a little white-haired girl appeared.

No matter how you look at it, it resembles a human cub, but the aura emanating from it is definitely that of an illusion.

"I simply transformed into the most harmless image you perceive me to be."

The ethereal voice came from the mouth of the little white-haired girl.

"I am the manifestation of this world, I am all the thoughts in this world, human, I have something to discuss with you."
