Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Who Said You Can Only Have One Trump Card? Can’t It Be a Pair
The Divine Path Purifying Flame could indeed suppress the Alien Race.
But!
Suppression was one thing, but the difference in their sheer magnitude was simply too vast!
It was like a tiny flame. While it could ignite a giant tree, it would be extinguished in an instant when faced with an entire ocean.
The Evil God had only descended with less than one-ten-thousandth of its will, but the total amount and quality of its Mental Power were still far, far greater than Chu Sheng’s at his current stage.
Under the relentless assault of the other’s endless, malevolent energy, Chu Sheng’s Divine Path Purifying Flame was in full retreat, its light growing dimmer and dimmer.
A mocking, magnificent, and endlessly crazed laugh echoed throughout the entire Consciousness Space:
“Heheheh… You lowly, amusing little bug. Did you think I didn’t know you possessed this flame that could suppress me?”
“Did you think I was truly hesitating between you and that woman, unsure of who to choose?”
’What?!’
Chu Sheng was startled.
The Evil God’s Will continued to laugh maniacally:
“From the very beginning, the one I chose was you—this perfect body that leaves even… me… in awe! That woman? She may be pure, but she is ultimately a mere mortal shell. How could she possibly compare to your natural-born Divine Body!”
“This was all just a game prepared for you! Now, the game is over! Obediently become a part of this god!”
As its voice fell, the colossal form of the Evil God’s Will pressed down, transforming into a giant, world-devouring maw, about to completely consume Chu Sheng.
’It’s over…’
’Even my final trump card failed?’
’No, no, no. Who says you can only have one trump card!’
Chu Sheng watched the advancing Evil God’s Will, gave a helpless pout, and spoke with a pained tone:
“System, it’s your turn.”
That’s right!
Chu Sheng’s absolute final trump card was the system.
In fact!
Back when he was bound by the Space and scratching at the Barrier with his Decryption Claw, Chu Sheng had already communicated with the system!
He had directly asked the system what would happen if he were possessed—would it switch hosts and become the Evil God’s system?
At the time, the system’s reply was:
[This system is uniquely bound to Host: Chu Sheng. Binding cannot be transferred. If the host’s will perishes, the system will dissipate along with it.]
Chu Sheng was quite satisfied with this answer. He then asked if there was a way to deal with possession.
The system replied again:
[If the host’s will encounters a crisis such as invasion or consumption, the system’s emergency defense function can be triggered to eliminate the invading consciousness. However, activating this function requires a massive amount of Evolution Points. The host must ensure they have sufficient Evolution Points.]
’How much?’
[10,000]
’Ten thousand Evolution Points?’
The good news was that Chu Sheng had exactly 11,020 Evolution Points, which was enough. If not for the 4,000 he’d gained from absorbing Alien Race Energy twice before, he really wouldn’t have had enough!
The bad news was that activating the emergency defense just once would use up nearly all the Evolution Points he had painstakingly saved.
Therefore.
To save these Evolution Points, Chu Sheng had kept the system’s emergency defense as his absolute final trump card.
But now… he had no other choice.
He had to use it!
…
「In the Consciousness Space.」
Just as the Divine Path Purifying Flame on Chu Sheng’s consciousness was about to be completely crushed, just as he felt his mind on the verge of being swallowed by endless madness and darkness—
A cold, mechanical voice, one that seemed to stand above all creation, suddenly rang out from the deepest part of his consciousness:
[DING!]
Since this was all happening inside Chu Sheng’s Consciousness Space, the Evil God’s Will could also “hear” this sound.
The sound wasn’t loud, nor did it have any particular presence.
However!
The moment it heard this sound, the Evil God’s Will’s colossal form began to tremble violently without any warning!
It was a fear that originated from the deepest part of its Life Origin, as if it had just heard the pronouncement of the world’s most terrifying and inviolable Law!
Its maniacal laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by a look of absolute terror!
The system’s voice continued.
[Ding! Non-host will detected. Activating emergency defense function.]
[This clearing will consume 10,000 Evolution Points. Confirm?]
Chu Sheng’s consciousness looked up, met the gaze of the giant Evil God’s Will, and uttered a single word.
“Confirm.”
[Ding! Clearing in progress…]
The instant the word “Clearing” was spoken.
There was no resistance whatsoever. It didn’t even have time to let out a wail.
The Evil God’s Will, so massive it could envelop the entire Consciousness Space, began to instantly disintegrate, purify, and dissolve like a phantom exposed to sunlight.
Its body, formed from malevolent energy, was rapidly dismantled and reassembled under the power of a higher-dimensional rule!
Finally, it coalesced into a gigantic, incomparably pure source of energy that radiated a soft glow!
Chu Sheng: “…”
’It’s over just like that?’
’My 10,000 Evolution Points are just… gone?’
[Current Evolution Points remaining: 1020]
’What kind of Evil God was that? So weak. I was expecting a big scene.’
Chu Sheng’s consciousness floated dazedly in mid-air, stunned by the dramatic turn of events.
Several seconds passed before he snapped out of it.
’Wait, what’s all this stuff in my Consciousness Space?’
His gaze fell upon the massive source of pure energy, and his compound eyes instantly shone brighter than searchlights.
’Ho… Holy shit!’
’Is… is this… the pure energy left behind after the Evil God’s Will was cleared? It’s huge!’
’The energy I recovered from the mutant insect swarm was only the size of a fist, and that got me 3,000 Mental Power and 3,000 Evolution Points!’
’But this ball of energy is at least the size of several dozen basketballs!’
’The Alien Race really is something else. They’re a treasure trove!’
Looking at this ball of energy, only one thought echoed in Chu Sheng’s mind:
’I’m rich, rich, rich… I’ve struck it rich!’
…
「Meanwhile.」
At almost the exact same moment the Evil God’s Will was cleared by the system, a chain reaction occurred in the outside world.
Outside the Ancient Mansion, the eerie red glow on the surface of the strange Space Array—which had enveloped the entire Chen Family’s Ancient Mansion and withstood even a strike from the Thunder Emperor—instantly dimmed. Then, like a sandcastle that had lost its support, it began to crack and crumble, dissipating into countless specks of light.
Inside the Ancient Mansion, the powerful Spatial Power that had been restraining Gu Yuexi also began to disintegrate.
「Outside the Ancient Mansion.」
“Hm? The Array is broken?!”
High in the sky, Li Zhantian and the other three immediately sensed the change, their expressions shifting at once.
“Quick! Inside!”
Though he didn’t know why, Li Zhantian didn’t hesitate for a moment. His body transformed into a streak of blood-red light as he became the first to charge into the Ancient Mansion!
He had only one thought right now—to strike with the force of a thunderbolt and completely annihilate the Evil God right after its possession, before it could fully control its new body!
’I absolutely cannot give it any chance to breathe or adapt!’
In his mind, the mosquito was no longer a Contracted Beast, but an incredibly powerful, malevolent member of the Alien Race!
It wasn’t just him; everyone thought the same.
’In a situation like this, killing it is the only option! It must be killed!’
However, just as Li Zhantian, filled with overwhelming killing intent, charged deep into the Ancient Mansion and was about to reach Chu Sheng, who was frozen in mid-air…
A cold and aloof figure suddenly blocked his path like an insurmountable iceberg.
It was Gu Yuexi!
Her red lips parted. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly spread throughout the entire Ancient Mansion, carrying an unquestionable dominance and majesty:
“Today, if anyone dares to so much as touch my mosquito… just you try it!”
