The narration of the Extreme West God rendered Li Muyang silent.

He hadn’t expected that the final boss he was to face would actually be a good person.

He thought as much; how could the Yellow Robed Immortal, known for his good reputation and integrity since ancient times, possibly be a brutal and selfish villain?

But after pondering briefly, Li Muyang again asked, “But he has already spent ten thousand years on this, yet he has not found a way to salvation. Perhaps there never was a way to begin with.”

The horde of bloodthirsty zombies in the secret realm wasteland had long been dead through and through.

Within the secret realm, their state is one of endless skeletons.

Only by entering the innermost layer of that world, do these skeletons begin to grow rotten flesh and rise to move.

All dead to the bone, and they can still revive?

Li Muyang was somewhat skeptical.

He said, “I am not acting willfully; my arrival this time is also in line with Wu Ming and the Water God’s views, as well as those of the ones in black robes.”

“The Water God and those in black robes hope that I can prevent a tragedy…”

In the perspectives of the Water God, Wu Ming, and the ones in black robes, everything the Yellow Robed Immortal has done seems to be leading towards a tragedy.

Hence, it is necessary for Wu Ming to revive and stop the Yellow Robed Immortal.

Besides, as a menial worker of the Heavenly Dao… if you, the Yellow Robed Immortal, were doing well, would the Heavenly Dao send me to trouble you?

After Li Muyang voiced his doubts, the Extreme West God fell silent.

It seemed incapable of answering Li Muyang’s question.

After a long silence, the Extreme West God then spoke, “…The head of Wu Ming is neither in the Futu Tower, nor is it upon the Ark.”

In a patch of dark void, a flame suddenly shot out from the Beast-faced Bronze Lamp.

This flame spun in the darkness, and the rotating light projected a huge image onto the darkness.

In the picture was a huge floating Ark, and below the Ark spread a vast land, upon which surging endless hordes of bloodthirsty zombies.

And at the end of this tide of endless zombies, deep within the vast darkness of the land, a pair of blood-red eyes quietly watched over everything…

“The head of Wu Ming is there.”

The Extreme West God spoke solemnly, “Thousands of years ago when the curse spread among mortals, many divine beings lost their lives looking for and trying to kill the enemy hiding within the secret realm, including Wu Ming who lost her head.”

“Her head is now there, within the depths of shadow at the end of the land, sealed by that enemy.”

“Wu Ming originally sealed her own Divine Soul, to prevent the enemy from controlling her divine body with her head.”

“Wu Ming is among the divine, the most adept at the art of curses. Should she turn to the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable…”

The Extreme West God said, “If you wish to retrieve the head, you must enter into the deep shadows at the end of the land, to confront that enemy of yore.”

“Although it was vanquished and annihilated by us ten thousand years ago, its evil thoughts still linger over that land, affecting all the cursed beings inside the secret realm. Taking Wu Ming’s body there, you might very well fall into its trap of evil thoughts, or even be controlled by them.”

“After all, Wu Ming’s head has been immersed there for ten thousand years; it might have been completely corrupted…”

The Extreme West God described the perilous journey ahead.

At this moment, Li Muyang understood why the Extreme West God disagreed with Wu Ming’s plan.

Logically, since the Yellow Robed Immortal has not found a way to salvation even after ten thousand years, it’s clear these zombies, once mortal, are beyond help.

To be safe, eliminating these zombies is to completely remove the hidden danger.

Should the zombies flood into the outer world, the consequences would be unthinkable.

But the eliminator cannot be Wu Ming.

Wu Ming’s final challenge in assembling the divine body was her own head, which meant confronting the residual malicious thoughts of the evil spirits from The Peaceful Realms of ancient times.

Should Wu Ming be controlled by this malicious evil spirit… the consequences would be even more dreadful.

Li Muyang fell silent for a moment, then said, “I must try!”

Despite the risks ahead, one cannot simply give up because of them.

He said, “Wu Ming is now entirely under my control; even if she were to be brainwashed by the malicious evil spirit, it would not be able to steal the control from me.”

The controller of the Ascendant’s game possesses such confidence.

As long as Li Muyang does not log off voluntarily, Wu Ming could never usurp his account.

Upon hearing Li Muyang’s response, the Extreme West God fell silent again, seemingly contemplating and hesitating.

However, this time, the Extreme West God didn’t remain silent for too long.

He quickly gave a response.

“…Then go, Ascendant.”

“You are a creature of a later era; this matter is intimately connected to you, you have the freedom to choose.”

After the Extreme West God spoke, a flame suddenly burst forth from the Beast-faced Bronze Lamp floating in the darkness.

This flame landed on Li Muyang, and immediately a BUFF appeared in the upper right corner of his vision.

[Extreme West God’s Blessing: attribute +60%, invisibility +300%]

The Extreme West God said, “The Yellow Robed Immortal will not let you leave the Ark Beyond the World; I give you this last bit of help, hoping that you may return safely and not be deluded by the malicious evil spirit…”

The next second, a massive suction force emerged from within the darkness.

Li Muyang slightly furrowed his brows, feeling himself enter a special passageway, with everything rapidly flashing by around him.

This sensation of swift flight lasted for a full two minutes.

When darkness no longer surrounded Li Muyang and his feet were once again firmly on solid ground, a faint scent of blood wafted to his nose.

Li Muyang quickly raised his head, seeing the gloomy sky, the blood-red moon.

And within his field of vision, there was an endless, boundless horde of bloodthirsty zombies.

—In just two minutes’ time, he had been rapidly moved from the core area of the Ark Beyond the World, Fuyun City, to the desolate wilderness outside the ark!

As Li Muyang gazed upon the unending sea of zombies, he felt somewhat startled for a moment.

Just as he was about to take action, he was surprised to discover that these zombies were completely unaware of his arrival.

One after another, the bloodthirsty zombies with blood-red eyes howled and roared on the ground, desperately accumulating their power.

Once a zombie had built up sufficient power, it would let out a shriek and fly into the sky, trailing a blood-red semi-transparent wing behind it.

From a distance, the densely packed zombies shrieking and flying into the sky, swarming upon the ark, resembled a swarm of dense moths.

Even the figure of the Immortal standing calmly by the blood moon above, was only watching the ark indifferently, completely unaware of Li Muyang’s presence below.

“…The blessing of the Extreme West God is indeed a bit overpowering.”

Li Muyang sighed in relief upon seeing this state of being unnoticed.

This meant that he no longer had to fear the two greatest dangers of the wilderness—the Yellow Robed Immortal and the horde of bloodthirsty zombies.

With the blessing of the fire from the Extreme West God, he would easily traverse this sea of zombies and reach the shadows at the end of the earth.

To directly confront the residual malicious thoughts of the ancient Evil Spirit!

The last time he confronted an ancient Evil Spirit was in the game world, under the identity of Jiang Xiaoyu, facing the Divine of The Peaceful Realms who held the Yin Life Book…
