The black flowers blooming on the antlers gradually shrunk, as Hong Yin’s true form was slowly being dragged into the blossom.
Although the Red Lotus Karma Fla possessed the ability to burn all sorts of resentnts and evil thoughts, Bai Wu’s charge was surprisingly obstructed by the massive grievance of the Lake God!
At this mont, Bai Wu resembled the previous Gu Hailin greatly.
Witnessing one companion after another perish, Gu Hailin raised his spear in despair, continuously piercing the tough scales of the Hydra.
Bai Wu, in an effort to pull Hong Yin out, also kept piercing through the barriers of resentnt with the Red Lotus Spear.
During this process, he saw many villagers... nearly all children.
They were the sacrifices of generations in this secluded village.
The village, mired in superstition through the ages, saw many children who should have had bright futures sink to the bottom of the lake!
They emitted wails capable of creating various negative emotions, as the Lake God attempted to dilute Bai Wu’s rage with these sounds.
Using fear, grief, sadness, and hatred to dilute anger.
Bai Wu and the Lake God seed to enter a deeper spiritual world.
Bai Wu walked on a narrow, seemingly endless path, with Hong Yin’s figure ahead.
Hong Yin moved quickly, even a bit faster than Bai Wu’s original speed...
Bai Wu tried to keep up, only to discover many children’s hands reaching out from both sides of the narrow path.
Their faces were packed so densely together, that those with claustrophobia could drop dead on the spot.
Of course, not only did Bai Wu not have claustrophobia, but he even felt a sort of dense excitent.
Being touched by these hands would infect him with various negative emotions.
No one could pass this road, no one could take Hong Yin back from here.
It wasn’t just these children; as Hong Yin moved to the other end of the path, Bai Wu even saw those from the Ninth Psychiatric Hospital, which ant that part of Hong Yin’s power had already been absorbed.
The Lake God seed confident of victory, but at this mont, Bai Wu’s speed also increased significantly.
The distance between him and Hong Yin got shorter and shorter, shorter still.
The arms on either side kept pulling at Bai Wu, but it was aningless. The Lake God had made a grave mistake.
It thought that since Bai Wu could harbor such imnse, pure rage, he must be a person easily swayed by emotions.
The logic was not wrong, continually injecting various negative emotions to dilute the anger.
But the problem was, Bai Wu could now only feel anger, all other negative emotions—he remained as indifferent to them as ever.
There was also anger among the negative emotions in those resentful arms.
The centuries of various angers notably replenished Bai Wu’s strength.
In the inner layer scene, Bai Wu chased after Hong Yin, his speed ever increasing, the distance ever closing.
In the outer layer scene, Bai Wu pierced through the defenses of the Lake God with his Red Lotus Spear, the originally fierce red flas sowhat languishing, but due to the Lake God’s overconfidence, Bai Wu’s power surged once more.
To defeat this entity of grudges accumulated over a thousand years, Bai Wu still needed to rely on so luck.
But clearly, his luck was good!
The Lake God gradually realized... This monster seed to only be capable of feeling rage and couldn’t be affected by other emotions.
No wonder his anger was so pure...
Evil Fallen creatures could sniff out emotional scents, and if the negative emotions in most people’s scents were a feast with a variety of seasonings, then Bai Wu’s negative emotional scent... had but a single, unique flavor.
The crimson spear wildly pierced through barrier after barrier.
Compared to the Bone Form, the Red Lotus Form didn’t actually enhance Bai Wu’s strength or speed.
But it would bestow upon Bai Wu the perfect-tier Mutation Entry: Red Lotus Karma Fla.
If Bai Wu were to face the Lake God in reality, he might not be able to break through so effortlessly and reach the Lake God at once...
But this is the Inner World.
Absolute fury had beco the blade that all negative emotions needed to avoid!
Finally, Bai Wu broke through the last barrier.
In another scene, the pursuit down the narrow path had also ended, Bai Wu grabbed Hong Yin and shouted loudly,
"Follow !"
The Lake God panicked. If Hong Yin’s power were taken away, its resentnt would be greatly diluted.
The suppressed good thoughts would also resurge. Most crucially... if the balance between good and evil were inverted, the next to be absorbed could be itself.
It had to sever the link between Hong Yin’s good thoughts and her entity.
All the flowers on the antlers blood again, and from the stans many long, snake-like black arms erged.
Bai Wu was pulling at Hong Yin, trying to extract her entity, the ball of black resentnt filled with many eyes.
And those black arms were doing the sa thing!
The two forces seed to be having a tug-of-war centered around Hong Yin.
Only Bai Wu was clearly the weaker party.
Because Bai Wu reined in the Karmic Fire, it could burn those black arms, but the entity of Hong Yin he touched would also be burned.
Hong Yin was being dragged little by little deeper into the stans, while behind Bai Wu, nurous resentful arms had gathered.
The panicked look in the Lake God’s eyes once again beca mocking and composed.
It was the ruler of this area, it was also a symbol of power, superstition, this kind of thing, could never be eradicated.
As long as those weak-hearted humans still entrust their lives and the peace of the community to an elusive god, superstition will always exist.
The Tower God Society was the best example.
After devouring Hong Yin’s power, all it had to do was wait for the next opening of the Well, when the boundaries between regions would disappear, the Lake God believed...
There will be countless believers waiting for it to absorb in this world.
As long as it eradicates this red monster, this future will certainly be realized!
Bai Wu realized that if he couldn’t fully pull Hong Yin out from the flowers on the antlers, Hong Yin would remain in a state of Chaos.
But once Hong Yin was pulled out, she would beco a force capable of standing against the Lake God.
rely by himself, he could deal with the witch, deal with Gu Hailin, these Evil Thoughts, but he could not truly defeat the source of Evil Thoughts.
He was sowhat anxious.
Cain, watching from a distance, knew that he could decide the battle if he intervened.
But Cain did not make a move, rather than seeing Bai Wu turn everything around, he preferred to watch Bai Wu struggle bit by bit in despair.
Cain was still lurking amongst a pile of arms.
The colossal Lake God stood tall, flowers continuously blood on its antlers, and as the ga between Bai Wu and the Lake God unfolded, the disadvantage grew greater.
Just as Bai Wu felt that he might ultimately fall short, an unexpected ally appeared.
"Bipolar Transposition."
"Bipolar Transposition."
"Bipolar Transposition."
The forces in the tug-of-war seed to have pulled in vain...
The Lake God was again astonished, and even Bai Wu failed to react in ti...
Hong Yin suddenly vanished.
In his place... appeared Yan Zizai!
But soon, as the second sentence of Bipolar Transposition was uttered, Yan Zizai also disappeared.
The person originally in Hong Yin’s position changed back to Bai Wu, while Yan Zizai took Bai Wu’s place.
Upon the fall of the third sentence of Bipolar Transposition, Yan Zizai appeared on a vacant lot at the bottom of the lake.
And in his original position, a fragnt of a grudging arm materialized.
"You don’t need to rescue you, do you?"
This sentence was spoken by Yan Zizai to Bai Wu.
Bai Wu never thought that these inspectors had much prestige, but at that mont, he was willing to call Yan Zizai the strongest in High Tower!
With three consecutive Bipolar Transpositions, both Hong Yin and Yan Zizai were saved, and although Bai Wu ca to Hong Yin’s position, seemingly to be devoured by the Lake God, without Hong Yin present, Bai Wu could also go all out with his firepower!
The terrifying Red Lotus Karma Fla swept through once again!
In the corner of his eye, Bai Wu noticed that Yan Zizai’s three transpositions had already caused the Evil Thoughts Invasion ratio to surpass sixty percent.
If Yan Zizai continued to intervene, he risked turning ally into foe.
Although one of the Eternal Beings, Yan Zizai was ultimately human and could not venture to the bottom of the lake.
If it weren’t for Bai Wu’s Red Lotus Form, which burned a purified path, Yan Zizai wouldn’t have taken the risk.
Feeling the whispering voices in his mind, Yan Zizai fell into so unpleasant mories from his childhood.
To be chosen as a Guardian required going through many things, especially since he was burdened with a heavy responsibility from birth.
The Evil Thoughts Invasion, akin to Feng Haiping’s coffin, could assimilate an opponent.
Wu Jiu relied on his will to hold out, and so did Yan Zizai. But in such a lakebed world full of resentnt... the whispering of the demons in his mind grew increasingly intense.
Bai Wu and the Lake God were engaged in their ultimate showdown.
One-third of the antlers were scorched by the Karmic Fire, revealing the Lake God in the most wretched state in a millennium.
However, Yan Zizai could not witness this scene; it seed he had returned to a distant past—those words that made him feel heavy and pained resurfaced.
To control Yan Zizai, the Patriarch of the Yan Family would regularly erase his mories.
But within the Inner World of the Lake God, amidst countless evil thoughts attacking him and with the continually rising percentage of Evil Thoughts Invasion, so of the most forbidden mories deep within Yan Zizai’s heart began to resurface.
"Among all the descendants, you are the one who resembles the most in every aspect. It is the Yan Family that will truly take over High Tower in the end. You must work hard, strive to beco soone useful to ."
"Big brother... why won’t mom and dad let play with you?"
"Big brother, can you protect ... really? Really? I heard them say that our family’s sibling relationships aren’t that good, but I really like you, big brother, we won’t end up like that."
"Zizai, what are you doing? You’re not one of them, don’t dean yourself."
"The won of the Yan Family have traditionally lacked emotion; they can’t even leave the tower. Raised by the Yan Family, they are rely bound by blood, but never see her as one of your kind."
"Big brother... I don’t want to play with you anymore, go away, I hate you, I don’t want to see you."
"Beco stronger, even stronger... If you are still so weak, I’ll kill your sister."
"Each generation of the Yan Family has one male and one female, and there’s no particular reason. If you must seek a reason, it would be a curse. Don’t think your sister is the one you need to protect; she has no value, you are the future of the Yan Family."
In the end of his mories, Yan Zizai rembered an old woman with a face full of wrinkles who was about to die, but still hung on to her last breath.
Because of the casino, Yan Zizai’s mories were consistently erased, keeping him forever with the mindset of a young person.
But that day, he was asked by the family to see the old woman for one last ti.
At that ti, Yan Zizai felt inexplicably strange because, as he ca to the deathbed, he looked at the woman whose life was ebbing away, the woman who, with turbid tears, said to him:
"Brother... your sister will leave first. You know, I’ve never disliked you. It’s just that I wasn’t lucky enough to stay by your side forever. You... you must always be happy..."
A wave of sadness surged in Yan Zizai’s heart, yet he felt the sadness was without any origin.
Soon, he was arranged by the Patriarch of the Yan Family to go to a gambling place where people’s lifespans, mories, and powers could be transferred.
Yan Zizai’s mory was wiped clean.
But the human brain never truly forgets, and even erased mories can be recalled at certain monts.
When the Evil Thoughts Invasion ratio exceeded sixty percent, Yan Zizai rembered those painful past events.
His expression beca increasingly distraught, and if these negative emotions continued to accumulate, he was likely to beco another anomaly on this battlefield.
But Yan Zizai couldn’t control himself. After coming to the bottom of the lake, the resentnt made those mories erge incessantly.
He clutched his head, tornted by pain, with not a trace of his usual grace and composure.
"Sister... sister... I’m sorry... I’m sorry!"
He had once promised to protect his sister, but in the end, he hadn’t even left a place for her in his mories.
Her life was filled with extraordinary suffering, she should have blad him, yet at her death, she only offered him her blessings.
If Bai Wu knew about Yan Zizai’s experiences, they would understand why he was so kind to Yan Jiu, even though Yan Jiu had been banished to the Ninth Psychiatric Hospital within the Yan Family.
Yan Zizai was on the verge of breakdown; imnse sorrow and guilt threatened to trigger so kind of change in him.
But at that mont, a small hand was placed on Yan Zizai’s forehead.
The ratio of Evil Thoughts Invasion rapidly decreased, and various negative emotions were also instantly drained away.
They weren’t erased but absorbed.
In the entire world beneath the lake, all the resentnt beca diluted at this mont, and the gray world slowly gained color.
All the resentnt, however, did not disappear; it kept converging at one spot.
Yan Zizai, who was clutching his head in agony, lifted his head, looked around blankly, and then he realized...
The reason his agony faded away and the surroundings beca bright was all due to a little girl.
Her red dress was printed with many black flowers. Hong Yin’s expression was very calm.
She had finally co to her senses.
Although the Lake God had consud so of her resentnt, the bottom of this lake was naturally a place of replenishing resentnt.
Especially just now... from Yan Zizai, she had absorbed an enormous amount of resentnt.
"Don’t let hatred consu you; you saved your brother. If you beco a monster like , brother will definitely be upset."
Hearing Hong Yin’s voice, Yan Zizai nodded.
Then Hong Yin spoke to the balloon of resentnt that was growing larger:
"I’m sorry, everyone... I almost lost you."
Within the balloon of condensed resentnt, countless eyes blinked, their eerie pupils seeming to respond to Hong Yin.
Hong Yin smiled, a smile that was sowhat sinister, sowhat eerie.
Yan Zizai suddenly felt that... this girl beside him was extrely dangerous, very, very dangerous.
Hong Yin didn’t mind Yan Zizai’s fear of her. After all, aside from her brother and the dwarf from that Inner World, everyone was afraid of her.
She tilted her head, looking excitedly at the Lake God in the distance, who was in a confrontation with her brother, and said:
"Since it deceived us, let’s go and devour it!"
