Yunshan Port.

    In front of the fountain in the city square.

    A beautiful young girl was admiring the stone sculpture in the pond.

    A mature and handsome middle-aged man followed behind her, like a bodyguard, but even more charming than a bodyguard.

    “This is a sculpture from more than three hundred years ago. It is said that the Spring Goddess once descended to earth and left behind her true appearance.”

    The middle-aged man acted as a tour guide.

    He bowed his back to show humility, but still appeared elegant.

    Such a demeanor further highlighted the extraordinary status of the young girl.

    “Artists of that era created many stone sculptures and oil paintings to record the various miracles of the goddess.”

    “What you see now is an allusion to a great drought, where the goddess held a water bottle and released an entire river, saving a kingdom.”

    The young girl nodded slightly, gazing at the statue, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

    Suddenly.

    The surrounding pigeons flew up, away from the fountain.

    The young girl had already noticed.

    She turned her head and looked at the little girl running towards her.

    “What do you want?”

    The young girl asked.

    “Big sister, you are so beautiful,” the little girl said in a childish voice, “I have a flower here, and I want to give it to you.”

    The young girl glanced at the blooming rose, then looked at the little girl, and said softly:

    “So, what do you want from me?”

    “No need, I’ll just give it to big sister.” The little girl held out the flower, wanting to hand it to her.

    But the young girl didn’t take the flower.

    She pondered for a moment, then looked at the sacred goddess statue in the fountain.

    “Child, I want to ask you a question—”

    “Do you think that sacred goddess statue is more beautiful, or am I more beautiful?”

    The little girl looked at the statue, then at the young girl.

    “Of course you are more beautiful!”

    She said with certainty.

    Only then did the young girl smile and say to the man behind her:

    “The most basic chip of a deity is attraction—”

    “All laws manifest in me as an arrangement that makes all beings worship, and it also contains the beauty of creation that ordinary people cannot understand.”

    “This child is good. That Silent Monster pretending to be the Spring Goddess can only deceive dirty adults, but it’s useless against such pure children. She sees my beauty.”

    The man smiled and nodded, whispering, “Praising the deity is what she should do.”

    “No, there is nothing in the world that others should do for you. Most mortals don’t know this, so they can never find peace.”

    The young girl reached out, took the rose from the little girl, and gently sniffed it at her nose.

    “Thank you for your flower.”

    She held the flower in one hand and touched the little girl’s head with the other, saying softly:

    “As a gift in return, I curse you.”

    The little girl was stunned.

    But the young girl slowly continued:

    “You will endure a fear that ordinary people cannot endure, fall from thousands of meters high, then be drowned by the sea, feel the pain of near-death, starve on a deserted island, be rescued by people with ill intentions, until the ship also sinks, and you still cannot die.”

    “You can only bear the pain of memories, grow up in this pain, be bound by birth, old age, sickness, and death, dominated by love, hate, and resentment, and tossed about by the impermanence of the world. Those mortals who trouble you will all meet their demise as if seeking death, until the day you are ninety-nine years old, basking in the warm winter sun, you will feel peace due to ignorance and unknowing, and only then will your soul gradually be able to escape my curse.”

    “If you still remember me at that moment, I will come to pick you up.”

    “If you forget, then in the vast world, you are free—”

    “Go wherever you want.”

    The little girl listened blankly, somewhat understanding and somewhat not.

    When the young girl finished speaking, she turned and ran away due to an inexplicable panic.

    The young girl no longer looked at her, as if she had done nothing just now, and slowly walked to the fountain.

    She plucked the petals, dropping them into the pond one by one.

    The rose petals floated and sank in the water.

    Finally.

    All the petals sank to the bottom.

    The young girl did not look back, but gazed at the bottom of the water, chuckling softly:

    “Hehe… there are three hundred thousand souls on this sky island, how bountiful.”

    “Are you going to start eating? Shall I serve you?” the man asked respectfully.

    “No—”

    The young girl uttered a single word, and continued:

    “When the music begins, I will leave, and you cannot stay long either.”

    “As you command.” the man whispered.

    “The altar for three hundred thousand souls has been set up. I will take a part, and leave a divine power clone to fight in this body for a while. You should take the opportunity to absorb the remaining soul power,” the young girl further explained.

    “I obey your divine will.” The man knelt on the ground.

    “The defenses of the three major high schools are indeed strict. Don’t come looking for me for now, unless you hear my call,” the young girl said.

    “You—” The man deeply buried his head, not daring to ask more.

    But the young girl said softly:

    “The three major high schools are indeed extraordinary. They are the only interface recognized by the Dharma Realm.”

    “They connect the Dharma Realm of this world with reality, and have channels recognized by the Dharma Realm, so I must first conquer your Dharma Realm, and then completely obtain all living beings in this world!”

    “And you will stay here, absorbing and digesting the power of souls and flesh, to prepare for my gamble.”

    “He is just a human. Even if he opens his Dharma Aspect in seven days, his strength will be limited, and you have one hundred thousand souls as sacrifices. He is no match for you. Take him down for me.”

    “Yes.” the Skinner responded enthusiastically.

    —Seven days, enough for me to completely absorb the power of one hundred thousand souls!

    What can that kid fight me with?

    Zhao Yibing continued: “If you lose, I will torture your soul severely.”

    “But if you win him for me—I will certainly reward you well, it will be something you have always dreamed of.”

    “This subordinate understands! This subordinate will do my best to run errands for you, and walk your path on earth.” this time the man responded with an incredibly fanatical tone.

    The young girl no longer spoke, and her whole body exuded waves of invisible ripples.

    After the ripples dissipated, the young girl became completely motionless.

    The man waited for a few more breaths, then took out his phone and quickly tapped away, seemingly operating something.

    “Kunlun? I knew you discovered my whereabouts, but it’s too late—”

    “What I brought this time are all extremely powerful good stuff.”

    The man said proudly.

    A virtual red button appeared on the phone screen.

    The man raised his hand high and pressed the red button with a highly ritualistic gesture.

    A blazing flash of light shot up into the sky.

    Not just one flash—

    Over Yunshan Port, one flash after another rose up, followed by the earth-shattering sound of explosions.

    The entire sky island shook violently.

    This situation only lasted for a few seconds.

    Immediately after.

    More intense flashes of light appeared.

    They tore apart the entire island.

    A scream rang out, then was quickly drowned out by successive explosions.

    —That little girl who gave the flower.

    She was blown into the air by the strong wind—

    Suddenly, a sunshade flew down in a spiral and landed on her. Not too early, not too late, it coincidentally wrapped around her, forming a shape similar to a paraglider.

    The little girl instantly flew away, far from the continuously exploding sky island.

    The continuous explosions did not disturb the young girl.

    She still stood in front of the fountain, letting white streaks of light shoot up and fall upon her.

    Gradually.

    In addition to the light from the explosions, humanoid dark shadows began to fly in and merge into her back.

    Gray light emerged around her, forming one ring after another, interconnected into an illusory altar.

    In this gloomy light altar, the young girl stood motionless.

    Dense humanoid phantoms were forced to gather, their faces filled with fear, despair, pain, and hysteria.

    The young girl was like a human black hole.

    These figures had no time to do anything before they were sucked into her body.

    The young girl bowed her head, as if a little shy, or perhaps contemplating something.

    In the sky, several figures flashed down and landed in the square.

    “Calamity… you actually dared to destroy this place.”

    An old man shouted with a wary expression.

    “I am the Lord of the Wailing Demon Prison, and I have descended in this corpse to bear all the sins and suffering for you all.” Zhao Yibing said gently.

    “There are three hundred thousand people here! Stop now, don’t destroy any more!” a female professional cried out!

    Zhao Yibing looked at the woman and smiled calmly, “Everything here was caused by you humans, and it was humans who acted. Even this body of mine comes from the desires and conspiracies of you humans.”

    “Oh humans, instead of asking me to stop, you should reflect on yourselves and ask why you commit all these sins.”

    Several people exchanged glances.

    A strong, ominous premonition filled their hearts.

    It was rare to encounter a disaster that made sense, and it was even possible that the other party was a deity from another world.

    How were they supposed to fight this!

    But—

    They couldn’t escape either.

    If they ran, wouldn’t the hundreds of thousands of humans in the entire Yunshan Port be eaten clean by it?

    “Go.” the old man growled.

    The strong ones immediately prepared to act.

    Then they saw an unforgettable scene—

    The scenery around the young girl changed rapidly.

    First, fire.

    Then, dark metal city walls.

    The city walls stood in the sky like towering mountains.

    Unknown giant beasts coiled on the walls, their entire bodies radiating blazing fire.

    Before they attacked—

    Flames swept through the entire Yunshan Port in an instant.

    More cries, screams, and wails spread throughout the sky.

    Kunlun’s electronic voice resounded all around:

    “Warning! S-class ‘anomaly’ has arrived!”

    “Defeat the enemy immediately, or everyone will die!”

    Everyone was greatly horrified.

    The strong ones rushed forward, but were entangled by those unknown flame beasts.

    In this chaotic and noisy scene, the young girl’s gaze pierced through the long sky and cast towards the distance.

    She spoke leisurely:

    “Humans, you always make choices based on pleasure, and only after paying the price do you remember that you have rational souls.”

    “This will never change.”

    She finally showed an evil smile:

    “Come—”

    “As long as you chant my name, I am the Spring Goddess, who can extinguish the fire of your desires.”

    “Beg me bitterly to escape your suffering.”

    “Your fear makes you harvested, and I will give you eternal, painless degradation.”
