"This is… The Disciple!?"
In the monitoring room of the Alliance's Myriad Beast Tower of the Starry Host, an Alliance Employee cried out in shock while looking at one of the screens relayed by the many drones!
"What!?"
Everyone looked over at the sound and quickly noticed a screen from one of the drones showing a sky full of dust!
Countless particles of dust danced, and ashes scattered down!
A figure erged from within, gradually becoming clearer. He walked out, leaning on a staff, as if he had arrived in the mortal world after traversing the long river of ti.
His aura was ancient and weathered. Just by standing there, he had beco the focus of the world!
Everyone instantly recognized him as The Disciple, who had dominated the Mystic Realm of Decay so ti ago and caused a sensation throughout the Alliance.
They never expected him to appear today in the Abandoned Urban Area outside Great Abyss City.
And not far from him was a stunningly beautiful woman and a guy wearing a mask.
The Green Dragon from the Mystic Realm of Decay! The Mysterious Masked Person!
The three of them were facing each other from a distance!
An Alliance Employee said in a low voice, "Could they be The Mastermind Behind the Scenes of the recent mutation?"
Everyone's expression turned grave. After all, neither the Green Dragon nor The Disciple were simple characters.
One had orchestrated a thousand-year stratagem, nearly draining the Earth Veins of the entire Borderlands, destroying its ecosystem, and causing a massive Upheaval!
The other had the forr completely in the palm of his hand, cracked the thousand-year plot, and ultimately plucked the fruit of victory!
"The third person's identity has been confird from the database. It should be the Ninth Finger of the Faceless Brotherhood!"
Following a cry of alarm, the atmosphere grew even heavier!
Those who could bear the title of God's Fingers… each one was an extrely terrifying existence that could be called a demon!
These three were truly more terrifying than the last!
Zhou Cheng, who had just arrived, couldn't help but snark upon seeing this scene:
"What's this? A group photo of the Evil Boss Squad?"
Especially this Disciple, his entrance was just too cool!
He's even more of a show-off than that kid, Lu Yu!
However, his Making a Reference did not ease the grave atmosphere in the monitoring room; it remained deathly silent.
"Th-that…"
Finally, it was the Secretary in her Black Stockings and office lady attire, serving as the Mobile Coffee Machine. She struggled to hold the coffee machine, her hands already numb, and said with a slight tremor in her voice:
"V-Vice President, should we intervene?"
If I had known… I wouldn't have let him taste the Specialty Starry Sky Coffee from the Dark Star Domain!
Her workload was getting heavier and heavier.
She just wanted to start Slacking Off, the kind where you just lie down and gain experience!
As her voice fell, everyone's gaze gathered on him!
That's right, they still had their Sea-Calming Divine Needle!
The Vice President, publicly known as being at the Peak Morning Star Rank, but in reality at the Peak Luminous Moon!
Sikong picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and said without raising his head:
"Hone Your Skills and Wait for the Right Mont!"
Everyone was influenced by his calm deanor, and their anxious feelings were quickly soothed. They were filled with admiration.
As expected of the Vice President, Unflinching as a Mountain Collapses before him!
That's right, a re dark faction was not enough to shake the Legend of the Immortal High Tower!
At this thought, everyone's Fighting Spirit was ignited!
Compared to the agitated crowd, Sikong continued to drink his coffee, his mind on sothing else,
'Today's coffee isn't smooth enough, it wasn't ground for long enough. Can't rush it, I should wait for a more suitable ti…'
……………………
On the other side,
After The Disciple finished speaking, both Ninth Finger and Fan Lü were stunned!
This guy couldn't be joking, right!?
Fan Lü was even more dumbfounded.
But she wasn't the kind of woman to be easily fooled. Staring at her mortal enemy, she questioned coldly:
"What exactly are you planning to do?"
"You!" Lu Yu's reply was concise yet forceful, like A sudden clap of thunder on a clear day!
"Things are getting more and more interesting!"
A red light flickered on Ninth Finger's Three-Petal Eye Mask.
He, too, was a bit surprised by this answer.
I didn't expect The Disciple's tastes to be so heavy, but…
Does this guy like Fan Lü? Or does he like her with a big belly?
No Drama Lover dislikes Being a Curious Onlooker!
"The Disciple, you're courting death!"
Fan Lü's face instantly darkened, so gloomy that it seed water could drip from it.
A slight tremor ca from her belly, and she completely flew into a rage.
Boom!
Jade Dragon Wings unfurled, and her massive dragon form appeared once more.
A pair of green Dragon Eyes stared intently at The Disciple, but she didn't rush to attack!
It wasn't that her temper had improved, but because…
From behind The Disciple, a stunningly beautiful Nun wearing a Blindfold walked out, holding the Shadow Soul Sword condensed from the soul of a Mouse Clone, quietly guarding his side.
An invisible sword aura perated the air, powerful enough to tear everything apart!
In a Small World, she could already be called a legendary Sword Saint-level Hero!
Besides her, there was a giant creature shrouded in a shadowy Black Mist floating in the air.
Although its specific appearance was unclear, Lady Fan Lü could feel a pair of evil eyes sizing her up from within the mist!
The Heavenly Nun! And that mysterious Soul-type demonic beast!
The Disciple's signature pet beasts!
In the Mystic Realm of Decay last ti, Fan Lü had her Dragon Horns severed by this woman, beaten until she lowered her head and admitted defeat, and could only sell her body for a chance at Life-saving.
Although her strength had improved during this period, the auras of these two before her were also several tis stronger than when they last t!
The threat level had increased significantly!
"This guy was indeed hiding his strength!"
A glint of wisdom flashed in The Proliferating Green Dragon's eyes.
She absolutely didn't believe The Disciple could have made such rapid progress in a short ti.
After her failure in the Mystic Realm of Decay last ti, she had investigated information related to The Disciple and knew that he had deliberately been Acting when he first entered the mystic realm, killing the human Beast Tar she had enslaved.
He even pretended to barely block the opponent's attacks, but later on…
When facing her desperate assault, he seed to handle it with ease!
This guy, despite having strength comparable to or even surpassing hers, liked to pretend to be weak!
Full of Twisted Humor, and extrely insidious!
Perhaps he was deliberately luring her to attack right now…
Just as Fan Lü was feeling wary, The Disciple continued to speak:
"Your ga, I am very satisfied with watching it, so I'd also like to join the gang… team, and create more brilliance together!"
As a kind-hearted good youth of the new era, Lu Yu never liked to break people up; he much preferred to join them!
Quality Youth, requesting to join battle!
Can bring a dical report… cough cough!
Alright, mainly because he couldn't win!
The Abandoned Urban Area had long beco the territory of the Faceless Brotherhood and the Cult of Dusk. Who knew how many tricks they had laid out in secret!
This could be seen from the fact that the Alliance's multiple sweeps had only managed to clear out so Minions…
As for completely annihilating the Abandoned Urban Area?
Are you kidding? Let's not even talk about whether it would affect Great Abyss City.
What if the seal was broken?
Beneath this place was an Evil God Servitor suspected to be a complete 【Superior Being】, plus the severed limbs of an Evil God Incarnation. Combined, they were enough to blow the entire Great Abyss City sky-high!
Therefore, even though the Great Abyss City Alliance knew the Abandoned Urban Area had beco a life-threatening piece of Rotting Flesh, they couldn't cut it off!
If Lu Yu chose to infiltrate the Abandoned Urban Area, he would be noticed by them at any mont.
Every step would be like treading on thin ice, walking with trepidation.
Even if he found the seal, he would face successive bullying from multiple Peak Morning Star Rank, or even Moonlight Rank powerhouses.
With his current strength, he would most likely be played until he was broken!
But…
Joining them would be different!
Even if it was just as an Underling, the benefits were not few at all!
For example, if the underling makes a mistake, the Big Brother should take the fall, right?
If the underling is hungry, there's no problem taking a bite of the big brother's food, right?
If the underling doesn't have a wife, and the big brother has a good Sister-in-law, Eating so dumplings isn't too much to ask, right!
He could totally go for Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might, Man Relying on a Dog's Power, Riding Up and Down, Serial Pounding…
The impression his Disciple Vest gave was of a personality that pursued Pleasure, and he had been mistaken for a mber of the Faceless Brotherhood multiple tis!
Therefore, Lu Yu's arrival here would not arouse suspicion; on the contrary, it would be seen as a matter of course!
As a Drama Lover, how could he pass up on such great Amusent!
If he perford well later on, the Faceless Brotherhood would be begging him to join.
This Aweso boast he made to Little Mouse, Lu Yu had to fulfill it even if he had to grit his teeth!
After listening, Ninth Finger invited playfully:
"You want to join the Faceless Brotherhood?"
"No!"
The Disciple decisively refused, leaning on the staff in his hand and speaking slowly:
"You who wear masks, aren't you doing it for the day you can take them off? As for , I have long been forgotten by the world and no longer need to wear one!"
"I am rely looking for things that can bring amusent, to pass this long ti!"
The tone was flat, but the content was arrogant!
But Ninth Finger and The Proliferating Green Dragon didn't find him arrogant.
Instead, they found it normal. Even if soone now said The Disciple was just a young man of eighteen or nineteen, they wouldn't believe it.
Because this aura of Decay from having experienced long ages couldn't be faked!
That was the arrogance belonging to a true Long-lived Species!
Then the question arose,
The Disciple… what exactly was he!?
Judging by his tone, he actually seed to think his life was too long!
"This guy really knows how to bewitch people!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon quickly cald down. After turning back into her human form, she turned to the silent Ninth Finger beside her and frowned:
"You're not really thinking of letting him join, are you?"
"Hmm… why not?"
Ninth Finger asked in return, looking at Lu Yu in the distance and asking:
"If you join us, what value can you provide?"
Ninth Finger didn't care if The Disciple had a conspiracy, he only cared about this grand drama…
and whether it would be even more exciting!
Conspiracy and betrayal paint the most wonderful Script of the human world!
"Of course!"
The Disciple slowly walked forward.
A large number of Curse Ravens flew from the void, forming a Flock of Ravens Ladder beneath his feet for him to step on. He walked toward the sky step by step, dust swirling around him, and continued:
"I can help you find the location of the seal of that Evil God Servitor from back then!"
As his voice fell, The Proliferating Green Dragon's pupils shrank, but she quickly reacted and couldn't help but sneer:
"Even without you, the Cult of Dusk is about to find it!"
Lu Yu keenly caught the word "about" and instantly felt confident.
He said with a smile:
"They've been searching for a long ti, haven't they? Are you sure they can get it done today?
With each passing day, there will be more and more variables, especially when it involves the body of the Mother of Dusk, an Evil God Incarnation. The Alliance could dispatch Magnate-level Beast Tars at any ti, or even report to the Supre Council and ask for instructions for a True King to descend.
Even if it's not their True Self, the descent of a re Will would be enough to crush you all into dregs. Are you sure you can afford to wait?"
This point indeed hit Fan Lü's Weakness!
After all, the current Human Race was different from before.
They weren't the separate dynasties and tribes of the past, but a single entity!
The major domains were all communities of shared interests, closely related to one another, so top-tier powerhouses could descend at any ti.
All their sches would be annihilated in the face of absolute power!
She was unwilling for her thousand years of waiting to end in failure like this!
A thousand thoughts raced through Fan Lü's mind, but her expression remained calm as she said coldly:
"If even they, servants who serve a Deity, can't find it, what can you do?"
Ninth Finger also waited curiously for the answer.
For him, finishing the great drama sooner was the main business.
"Because they are trash, and that's all!"
Lu Yu arrived in front of the Tower, stood in the air, placed his felt hat on his chest, and revealed a friendly smile, continuing:
"What's the use of saying more? Won't we know if we just try? For example… a Performance of searching for the Cult of Dusk that even the Alliance can't find!"
As his voice fell, an orange-yellow halo appeared behind The Disciple, like a Twilight Reflection.
It scared Fan Lü into a quick retreat, thinking this guy had sothing going on with the 【Mother of Dusk】.
Woof!
Just as she was about to be on guard, she saw a little white dog appear at The Disciple's feet, rubbing against his shoes non-stop, its tail wagging rapidly!
If not for the floating tentacles on its body, the half-blood-sun mark on its forehead, and its nearly illusory body, looking at its deanor alone, one would have almost mistaken it for an ordinary dog.
"Is this… one of The Disciple's other pet beasts?" Fan Lü's expression was horrified. She actually felt an imnse danger from this Puppy that had yet to grow up.
As a Pure-blood Dragon, she was actually afraid of a little dog?
How is this possible!?
Ninth Finger stroked his chin, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. With all his experience, he couldn't even recognize what this thing was.
It seed a bit related to the Spiritual Puzzle…
But to make a puzzle manifest life, not even an ordinary Magnate could necessarily do it!
This guy, The Disciple, what on earth was his origin?
Lu Yu didn't know how much of a psychological shock his actions had given these two. He just said softly:
"Sun Chaser, get to work!"
Sun Chaser was the na he had given to the Beast of the Pasture!
It ant the Beast that Chases the Sun!
After all, ever since he ca to this world, he had an inextricable bond with the sun.
First, the Taboo Sun gifted him a Taboo Cursed Seal, and now the Mother of Dusk was sealed within Great Abyss City.
One wanted his life, and the other wanted to touch his property!
Their horoscopes definitely clashed!
If he had the chance, he would definitely lock both of Them in his Pasture and make them Work Like a Horse and Ox!
Although Sun Chaser was only a Phantom and couldn't fight detached from the puzzle, it didn't hinder its ability to pursue!
Woof woof!
After receiving the command, the half-blood-sun mark on Sun Chaser's head flashed with a gilded golden light.
Exclusive Skill—Pasture Pursuit!
The world in its eyes suddenly changed, instantly becoming gray. Everything around it seed to have suddenly devolved from a color Television to the Black and White Era.
However, it didn't directly find any traces. It actively landed on the ground and continued forward, sniffing as it walked.
The Disciple descended unhurriedly and followed behind, as if he were out for a stroll, walking the dog. Ninth Finger and Fan Lü also followed.
Soon, Sun Chaser raised its head, because it saw a conspicuous Dusk Radiance illuminating this gray world.
Woof!
Sun Chaser let out an excited bark.
The tentacles on its body drifted like flas as it leaped abruptly, passing through the building and running towards the southwest.
Lu Yu rode the ravens into the air, and the other two quickly followed, soon arriving at an Abandoned Park.
Sun Chaser looked at the dilapidated park and took a bite at the air!
Crack, crack!
Along with a sound like shattering Glass, a Light Screen of dusk colors appeared, and was quickly swallowed by Sun Chaser.
The scene before them changed accordingly.
In the originally desolate Abandoned Park, over a hundred Evil God Believers in black hoods appeared on the ground, carving a Ritual with dark shadows. Large amounts of dark and Tainted water wriggled and converged, forming a huge Altar!
At the center of the Altar, a giant sphere had already condensed, like a Black Hole, constantly contracting and expanding, and occasionally sprouting countless spikes!
It was constantly searching for the location of the seal!
Two Morning Star Rank powerhouses were guarding the Altar.
One was a tall woman, her hair a pale color indicating depleted life force, wearing a blood-stained long dress. Atop her head was a special Lantern-Shaped Iron Cage, forcibly embedded into her Skull, within which an orange-yellow fla burned.
Below the lantern, sprawling Shackles bound and pierced her body. Stained by blood, the chains of the shackles had already rusted, and the wounds showed varying degrees of decay, with even Maggots burrowing into them.
But her expression was one of Piety, like the extrely rare Ascetics in most religions, who bear faith in their deity through physical pain!
As for the other, he had also undergone a Mutation, and a more thorough one at that. He was draped in a thin veil of dusk colors, and besides maintaining a humanoid form, no flesh, skeleton, or similar structures could be seen.
He was like a Light Person.
"Dusk Aberrant Body!"
For Lu Yu, who had researched related materials, these two were not unfamiliar.
One was the Dusk Lantern-Lighting Maiden from the Cult of Dusk, who used her own will and soul as fuel to ignite the Fire of Dusk!
As for the other Light Person, it was the aberrated Dusk Bishop, who had mutated in the direction of the Light Attribute!
In reality, the mbers of the Evil God Cult were all initially human. Possessing a Beast Taming Space, they could naturally contract and control pet beasts born from the Evil God Ecosystem!
But while these pet beasts were powerful, they were extrely unstable and easily triggered Aberration.
Once they lost control, they would be contaminated by the Evil God's power and undergo a profound transformation. Most people would directly undergo Aberration, but a few could maintain a part of their reason through self-torture or faith.
Although it would eventually lead to an end, it was just a Chronic Death…
But during this period, their own strength would skyrocket, and they would develop new and peculiar abilities.
And the Cult of Dusk before them, aside from the absence of the Dusk High Priest, everyone else was already present!
Seeing this scene, a red light flickered on Ninth Finger's mask as he praised:
"Mr.
Disciple's reputation is well-deserved. You so easily unraveled the 【Twilight Reflection】 ritual, which can deceive even a Moonlight Rank, and ignored the perceptual deception to find the Cult of Dusk's hiding place!"
"This guy actually succeeded!"
A hint of excitent flashed in Fan Lü's eyes.
If they could release that Evil God Servitor ahead of schedule, the plan's success rate would be even higher!
So she took the initiative to say, "I agree to let you join. Hurry up and find the seal's location!"
However, The Disciple put away Sun Chaser, shook his head, and said:
"Before joining, there's one more thing to do, and I'll need your help!"
Trying to Freeload off Great Benefactor Lu? Not happening!
Ninth Finger maintained his Mr.
Nice Guy appearance and asked curiously:
"What is it?"
Lu Yu didn't answer and slowly walked forward.
When the Dusk Believers saw that this person had co with Ninth Finger, they didn't pay him any mind, simply continuing to carve the Ritual as the High Priest had instructed.
"The High Priest said no one is allowed near the altar…"
A Dusk Believer wearing a hood blocked Lu Yu's path, but just as he started to speak, his voice ca to an abrupt halt.
"Ugh… ugh… ugh…"
The staff had pierced his skull through the glabella.
His hood fell away, revealing a young man's face, now covered in cracks like shattered porcelain. He struggled to open his mouth, as if trying to say sothing, but only managed a painful wail!
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he turned into a pile of Dust and Sand!
The Disciple, Lu Yu's incarnation, looked at the astonished believers and said with a smile:
"Since they are already trash, there's no need for them to exist anymore. Might as well sweep them into the Garbage Heap."
Before the Main Course, let's start with a full-intensity…
Operation Yellow Crackdown!
A 5,400-word chapter, asking for Monthly Tickets! Asking for Follow-up Reads! Letting chapters pile up will kill the story! Had family matters today, rushing around in the car, feeling a bit dizzy.
Going to sleep first, will fix typos tomorrow.
