The entire sky was a dim gray, forming a posture of swallowing the heavens.
A shadow of death, utterly despairing.
Gu Xiaosu dazedly watched Xiao Ye descend before her.
He rode the dragon-horse Black Flame, holding a black longsword.
Upon seeing Xiao Ye, Hao Duoyu's face instantly contorted in terror.
He widened his eyes, shouting in fear, "God of War Gu, run quickly..."
The moment Gu Xiaosu saw Xiao Ye appear, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
She sensed the world-destroying power Xiao Ye possessed.
The black longsword in his hand was poised to cleave mountains and rivers.
Panic surged through Gu Xiaosu; she lacked the courage to flee.
From her eyes to her limbs, she felt rooted to the spot.
"Xiao Ye..."
Gu Xiaosu's voice trembled, her beautiful eyes finally losing their composure.
This was the first time Xiao Ye's expression was so grim; his gaze held no warmth.
"Gu Xiaosu, you rescued Hao Duoyu, thinking the Blue Star would accept you?"
"So what if they don't accept me?"
Gu Xiaosu knew she couldn't escape now that she was caught by Xiao Ye. She coughed weakly.
"At least I've made a contribution to the Blue Star; it's better than living a life worse than death in the city!"
Xiao Ye laughed at her words, his laughter filled with indifference.
Gu Xiaosu, with a death wish in her heart, suddenly pushed Hao Duoyu away.
"Xiao Ye, kill me with one sword!"
Gu Xiaosu's long hair fluttered, her gaze filled with conviction.
To die on the land she loved, Gu Xiaosu had no regrets.
She believed her soul would ascend to heaven and then pray for the Blue Star Alliance.
One day, their righteousness would triumph over evil.
Xiao Ye's black sword emanated immense power. He looked at Gu Xiaosu and chuckled, "Before you witness the world you love crumble, before the beliefs in your heart are destroyed, how can I let you die so easily?"
Hearing his tone, Gu Xiaosu felt a chill run down her spine.
She suddenly felt a burning pain in her soul as black energy surged uncontrollably.
Under Xiao Ye's summons, Gu Xiaosu walked to his side.
She couldn't control her limbs, facing Xiao Ye with disbelief.
Xiao Ye's hand felt like acid; touching Gu Xiaosu, it caused her body intense corrosive pain.
Under Gu Xiaosu's pale and bewildered gaze, Xiao Ye said casually,
"Come back, my leveling tool."
Gu Xiaosu didn't understand, but she knew she could never escape Xiao Ye's clutches.
Seeing Hao Duoyu overwhelmed by Xiao Ye's invincible might, his pupils dilated.
He lacked the courage to fight Xiao Ye and fled backward frantically.
Even as his clothes became tattered.
He just wanted to live. Hao Duoyu cried out in despair, "Xiao Ye, I won't compete with you anymore. I support you ruling the entire Blue Star Alliance, I won't resist. Please spare my life."
Hao Duoyu never thought he would end up so miserable.
However, his days in the pigsty were a life worse than death.
His soul and spirit were trampled, and he no longer possessed his former spiritedness.
The invincible might of Xiao Ye's black sword illuminated Hao Duoyu's face.
He smiled, "I'm sorry, in my dictionary, Xiao Ye, there are no words for 'sparing'."
"Xiao Ye, I won't forgive you even as a ghost."
Hao Duoyu screamed in desperate weakness, trembling violently.
A black sword swiftly buried itself in Hao Duoyu's body, his eyes widening in pain.
At the brink of death, Hao Duoyu gritted his teeth in hatred.
Suddenly.
The earth trembled.
They were near a dangerous riverbank, the border of the Blue Star Alliance.
A terrifying monster, a White Shark, with four eyes...
Its body was a bright red, as if pieced together from various skin tissues.
It was incredibly frightening.
An SSS-class monster.
Besides Lord Zuo, a new powerful monster.
The White Shark, swimming in the water, suddenly leaped into the air.
Seeing Hao Duoyu impaled and near death, it swallowed him whole.
Xiao Ye witnessed the White Shark swallow Hao Duoyu, and then it plunged back into the water.
The entire process took less than three seconds.
Gu Xiaosu, held in Xiao Ye's hand, her gaze froze, "How is this possible... How can there be such a powerful monster on the Blue Star?"
After seeing Hao Duoyu swallowed, Xiao Ye looked up at the sky.
No anomalies were detected in the entire world.
There was no distortion or fragmentation.
Xiao Ye returned to Lord Zuo's back and called out to the system in his mind.
After Hao Duoyu was swallowed, the system showed no reaction.
Xiao Ye clearly remembered the system saying that once Hao Duoyu died in this world,
With the protagonist gone, everyone else would be background characters.
The entire world would collapse and be destroyed.
There were two reasons for the system's silence: one was that...
It had fallen into despair over Xiao Ye killing Hao Duoyu.
The other was the White Shark monster that had just swallowed Hao Duoyu without crushing him.
"Is Hao Duoyu not dead?"
Xiao Ye repeatedly sent questions into his mind.
The system remained silent.
As if it already knew the world's protagonist wouldn't lose his life so easily.
Hao Duoyu couldn't die even like this?
Xiao Ye burst into wild laughter, "Hao Duoyu is truly your favorite..."
The day he lost all hope for this world, the moment he was sentenced to death by the Blue Star, he had never intended to save anyone.
This world had gone mad, and Xiao Ye was crazier than the world!
No matter what, Xiao Ye would make countless people know.
Xiao Ye would become the synonym for fear.
Gu Xiaosu, hearing Xiao Ye's laughter, felt an boundless chill.
The man's eyes were dark and unfathomable, yet he seemed to see something amusing.
His voice carried a sinister laugh, a smile that wished to destroy all things.
He wanted to completely destroy this damned world.
And take Gu Feng and others to live in another world.
Xiao Ye knew this was not impossible; if the system existed, then there was more than just the Blue Star world.
Moreover, when Xiao Ye transmigrated, the system had repeatedly told him.
This was a transmigration into a book, and all characters were pre-arranged.
The entire world revolved around the protagonist, including himself, the villain.
But over the years on the Blue Star, Xiao Ye had noticed significant anomalies.
If this was just a book, why were all the characters so real?
Flesh and blood.
Darkness and light.
Even an ordinary infected person, if Xiao Ye asked them to recount interesting anecdotes from their lives.
They could talk for three days and three nights.
With such a complete world, what Xiao Ye thought was not a book transmigration, but... the system was lying.
It had told a colossal lie, giving him a so-called plotline.
To allow Xiao Ye to whitewash the so-called villain.
They returned to the City of Slaying Gods.
Xiao Ye found that after Lord Zuo's return, he had lost his appetite.
His expression became very strange, and Lord Zuo seemed troubled.
Xiao Ye made a separate appointment with Lord Zuo, asking him to reveal everything he knew.
