624: Chapter 674 So shameless? Sending juniors on such a risk!

Just moments ago.

Xiao's end was approaching, causing him to feel a deep sense of distress.

In reality, he wouldn't have been so crazed originally.

However, unknown to everyone, a whisper echoed in Xiao's ear.

At first, Xiao couldn't hear the whisper clearly at all.

It was filled with contradictions, chaos, and disorder.

Every time he heard it, it made his head throb with pain.

At that time, Xiao was profoundly shocked.

He was a demigod, the strongest existence in this territory.

What kind of power could possibly cause him pain?

He suspected this power came from an existence with a higher status than his own.

Xiao's first thought was that it was a true god.

Thus, he began trying to accept this power, to listen, and to discern.

He was a dying man anyway; if something went wrong, what did it matter?

Perhaps it wasn't an accident, but his opportunity.

Xiao endured the headache; as time passed, every instance of listening felt like his skull was splitting open.

Just as he was about to reach his limit and give up,

Xiao finally heard clearly what the voice was saying.

"Do you want to step into a higher status?"

"Do you want longevity?"

"Do you want to become the king of the entire universe?"

"Do you want to know everything about the universe?"

"..."

The voice was full of seductive allure.

However, Xiao didn't see it that way; he thought the voice sounded beautiful.

It was the most wonderful melody in this universe.

Every single thing the voice mentioned was something he craved.

Things he wanted even in his dreams.

And so, Xiao nodded.

Immediately, an unprecedented power descended upon Xiao's body.

In that instant, Xiao felt as if his head had exploded.

All reason vanished from his being, leaving only chaos and disorder.

However, this chaos and disorder were incredibly powerful.

Many times stronger than he had been before.

Ten times?

No, definitely more than that.

Xiao felt that he was now invincible.

Any demigod before him was nothing more than a trifle.

The current him was too perfect.

He must have reached godhood, right?

Yes! He had definitely reached the realm of a true god.

Xiao could already see himself holding the Holy Grail; the game was cleared.

He had claimed victory in this game and become the winner.

The other contestants were prostrate at his feet, including An Ke.

An Ke was currently kneeling on the ground with an attitude of extreme reverence, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at him.

It was wonderful.

Previously, this kid hadn't given him, a demigod, any face at all.

Now the kid was giving him plenty of face, but he didn't want it anymore.

He wanted to tear that kid apart and take the special thing inside him.

Oh!

Xiao suddenly understood what that thing was: the source.

As long as he obtained this and utilized it, he would become the king of this Ordered Universe...

...

The real world.

In the United Nations hall.

The five nobles all stood up.

They saw at a glance that Xiao had become disorder.

"Was that fellow seduced?"

"Or did he throw himself into the embrace of disorder?"

"Damn it, I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this critical juncture."

Fama cursed loudly.

The power of disorder had appeared outside Ascension Peak.

This meant An Ke no longer had time to continue improving himself.

He would have to face disorder.

The faces of the five nobles beneath their masks were extremely grim.

They looked toward An Ke.

An Ke grinned; he didn't need the nobles to say anything.

He said to Wu, "It seems we must hurry back."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it's all over."

He had originally thought that due to the constraints of the game's laws, a Disorderly Existence could not leave Ascension Peak.

But he hadn't expected that while the other party couldn't leave, they could seduce others through certain means.

Xiao had now become a servant of that existence.

"Alright!" Wu nodded solemnly.

He already knew the cause and effect of the situation.

Since An Ke was the savior of the entire Ordered Universe, he could not be allowed to die.

Otherwise, if An Ke died and the source was obtained by that Disorderly Existence, the other party would surely destroy the Ordered Universe.

After all, to that Disorderly Existence, ordered existence was intolerable.

At the same time.

Inside the United Nations hall, the leaders of the nations present grew tense.

The fact that they, as God-level Civilizations, all stood up was enough to show how serious the current situation was.

Some even sent people to wake the leaders of their own countries.

The situation seemed to have become dire.

...

Inside the Civilization Game.

The demigods were rushing madly toward the 99th Boundary Domain Mansion.

However, during the journey, the demigods attacked one another to delay their rivals' progress.

Everyone hoped to be the first to arrive.

Arriving first meant the highest possibility of seizing the most source power.

Everyone needed source power.

However, amidst their mutual restraint, the demigods felt a terrifying energy coming from the distance.

That energy was disorderly and chaotic, causing their minds to feel a shock.

The demigods looked over in surprise and saw a pillar of energy soaring into the sky.

A black pillar of energy.

"What... what is that!?"

"Xiao's source power?"

"No, that's not right! Why does this source power give off such an evil feeling?"

All the demigods were stunned.

They had never seen this kind of source before.

It seemed capable of scorching their will.

For a moment, the group of demigods stopped in their tracks, not daring to step forward.

The situation was somewhat unknown.

They didn't know what to do.

What if something happened after they went over?

In their eyes, that pillar of energy was a mass of great horror.

But if they didn't go, they felt somewhat unwilling.

It wasn't often they had a chance to directly obtain a demigod's source; if this opportunity was lost, who knew how long they would have to wait.

Many of the demigods present still had long lifespans.

"Ai, why don't you go over and take a look?"

Wu looked at Ai and said.

"Senior..." Ai hesitated slightly.

That light pillar gave her a very bad feeling.

Going over might be extremely dangerous.

"This is giving you an opportunity, Ai!" Wu said cryptically.

"Among the demigods, your sequence is the lowest. If you don't take risks, how will you surpass the other demigods?"

"Promotion inherently carries risk."

After pondering, Ai nodded. "I understand, Senior."

"Then I'm going!"

"Go ahead!" Wu raised a hand.

Ai wasted no more words and took to the air.

Around them, the other demigods glanced at Wu.

This fellow's heart was truly black.

He felt the danger himself and didn't dare go, so he actually sent a junior.

Truly shameless.

However, the demigods all had a tacit understanding and didn't say a word.

After all, they were happy for things to be this way.

It was quite nice to have someone take the risk for them.

They only needed to observe the situation from behind.

If the situation wasn't right, they wouldn't go.

If it seemed they could obtain the source, they would rush over immediately.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

An Ke and Wu were still sitting face-to-face within the concept body.

However, during this eye contact, Wu's attitude was clearly much more respectful.

He lamented, "I really didn't expect that five true gods would be standing behind you..."

...

...

An Ke shook his head.

"Wu, you've got it wrong."

"There aren't five true gods standing behind me."

"From beginning to end, I've relied on myself."

"They are in the real world and cannot affect the game."

"Rather than saying I need them, it's more accurate to say they need me."

Wu let out a dry cough upon hearing this.

An Ke was too bold in his speech.

If the true gods heard that, wouldn't they swat him to death?

In any case, Wu would never dare say such a thing.

But on second thought, he felt An Ke's words made a lot of sense.

He didn't need to rely on the true gods, but the true gods needed to rely on him.

Because he was the savior of the entire Ordered Universe.

Once An Ke fell, the Ordered Universe would be finished.

Wu believed that if the true gods could descend,

They would be more than willing to use their bodies to shield An Ke; they could die, but An Ke could not.

The true gods did indeed need to rely on him.

Wu was filled with emotion.

To be able to reach An Ke's level was unprecedented.

Despite not even being a demigod, he made true gods bow their heads obediently before him.

Such a "resume" was enough to brag about for a lifetime.

"Alright, enough nonsense, let's begin."

An Ke looked at Wu and spoke calmly.

"Mm!" Wu nodded.

He had long since prepared himself.

"It's just, will it be okay..."

This was ascending to demigod status.

Back then, it had taken him hundreds of years to promote from Saint to demigod.

During that time, he had to slowly condense divinity.

At the same time, the body would undergo transformation.

After reaching demigod status, the physical body no longer existed; it was a completely new existence.

It was equivalent to jumping to a new level of life.

Could An Ke's current body withstand the price of ascending to a demigod?

He hoped An Ke wouldn't end up killing himself because of the ascension.

That Disorderly Existence would probably die laughing.

"It's fine, I believe in myself!" An Ke smiled confidently.

To be precise, he believed in his golden finger.

From the beginning until now, he had never failed.

Whether it was from low sequence to high sequence, or from high sequence to Saint.

He had always transitioned stably.

This time would likely be the same!

With that thought, An Ke wasted no more words and shouted low, "Exchange!!"

Wu did not hesitate and immediately gave his consent.

...

Under the watchful eyes of the demigods, Ai advanced toward that soaring black pillar of light.

The closer she got, the more alarmed she felt.

The surging wind felt like sharp blades, tearing at her robe.

It seemed to want to shred this robe that belonged to her will, revealing the source within.

Ai immediately erupted with her own power to resist.

A pink cyclone rose from beneath her feet.

The trait she mastered could make any two things combine, any two things fall in love.

Even two inanimate objects could develop feelings for each other.

She had used this trait on An Ke before.

Intending to make An Ke like her, thereby making him walk into her trap.

But what Ai hadn't expected was...

The trait had actually failed.

The trait she thought was invincible had no effect on An Ke whatsoever.

This had shocked Ai greatly, finding it completely absurd.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been like that.

However, later, through He's explanation, she understood.

An Ke's will had always been locked in an airtight "safe," so it was reasonable.

"Speaking of which, it shouldn't fail against Xiao this time, right?"

This feeling emerged in Ai's heart.

Because the closer she got to Xiao, the more she felt his strength becoming terrifyingly immense.

He was indeed still a demigod.

But he was stronger than any of them.

In any case, she would try...

Ai began using her trait to influence Xiao within the dark light pillar.

Trying to make him develop feelings for her, attempting to make him fall in love with her.

However, very quickly, Ai discovered to her astonishment that it had failed again.

Her trait could not influence Xiao!

Unlike An Ke's airtight "safe,"

Xiao was like a wild wind.

Violent, without a shred of emotion; the only sentiment remaining was destruction.

"Has Xiao gone mad?"

The other party's will was no longer his own, but had become a chaotic entity.

And just then, something terrifying happened to Ai.

Within the dark pillar of light, Xiao's eyes appeared.

Originally, nothing could be seen in that ink-like darkness.

But now, a pair of eyes full of madness was staring at her.

Ai met his gaze and felt her whole body go cold.

The other party seemed to want to devour her, his eyes full of greed and madness.

"This is bad!!"

Ai turned around and fled.

"Run~~?"

A disorderly, chaotic whisper came from behind.

In the next second, Ai felt as if she were being targeted by a ferocious beast.

And this beast was pouncing toward her to kill.

She didn't dare dawdle and fled frantically.

But soon, she found the surroundings enveloped in darkness.

Her surroundings were as black as ink; she couldn't see any direction at all.

Ai's heart skipped a beat and sank to the bottom.

This kind of blackness was somewhat familiar to her; wasn't this the black light pillar Xiao was in?

Why was she inside it?

It shouldn't be; hadn't she run back?

"Hehehe~~~"

Just then, a sinister laugh rang out.

The whisper made Ai feel like her head was splitting, striking directly at her source.

"Damn it!"

Ai shouted and erupted with terrifying source power.

She immediately blasted toward the place where the voice came from.

However, the voice quickly came from behind: "I'm over here~"

Ai's pupils shrank in the darkness, and she immediately attacked behind her.

In the next second, a roar sounded.

"Ai!! What are you doing?"

"I am your senior!!"

"What madness are you having?"

Ai heard the familiar voice and looked at the endless darkness before her.

She immediately began to sneer: "You're my senior?"

"I'm your father!"

Ai blasted again.

Was this a joke?

The seniors would never enter this dark light pillar.

Still trying to deceive her with hallucinations?

"Come, come, come, let me kill you!"

...

Wu warded off Ai's attacks.

His heart was full of annoyance.

"What's wrong with this fellow?"

She had suddenly attacked him.

Around them, the other demigods were all on guard, pulling away.

Their eyes were full of wariness.

In their eyes,

Ai had gone halfway, then stopped.

Then, as if seeing some great horror, she had run back.

Initially, everything was normal.

However, when Ai arrived before them and everyone intended to ask her what had happened and why she had returned, she had attacked brazenly.

Without any warning.

"Has that fellow been polluted as well?"

"It's likely on a mental level," He speculated.

Upon hearing this, Wu said while defending himself, "Then why aren't you all attacking yet?"

"Hurry up and help me wake this fellow up."

"Xiao's trait is Mental Strength; who can win against him in the mental field?"

"To restore her reason, we can only break Xiao's Mental Strength influence."

Every demigod had a trait they excelled in.

In that trait's domain, it was very difficult for other demigods to compete with them.

Xiao specialized in Mental Strength.

With Ai being influenced, how could the demigods possibly break it?

...
