Chapter 284: Destroying the World Is So Damn Fun

【Always Seventeen: Successfully caught Lan! Her fluffy big tail is so cute. The fox fur is also warm—I think I can use it to make a scarf during seasonal changes. 【Image. pg】】

【Xia Na: What a beautiful fox girl (.】▽】。)】

【Lan Yuanyan Zhu: She has animal ears! Looks like she awakened fox genes—but even stronger than Bu Shi Cui sister!】

The "stronger" she meant wasn't about power level, but appearance.

Ba Yun Zi sent a purebred animal-eared girl, but a soft hat covered her sharp fox ears; nine enormous tails swayed behind her, her yellow hair cut short at the neck, looking slightly dazed—probably unaware her master was sneaking photos of her.

Such a creature, clearly a beast spirit yet retaining human traits, might just hit the sweet spot for certain people's kinks.

【Ice Queen: A nine-tailed fox…? Do you have any extras?】

Even Esde Si spoke up—no one can resist a soft, fluffy golden fox girl.

【Always Seventeen: I just happened to catch her. But aren't there some special Dangerous Species? Like the Azure Dragon—doesn't that meet your criteria?】

【Ice Queen: Super-Dangerous Species haven't appeared in ages. The rest… aren't worthy.】

【Big Divine God: Split the loot fifty-fifty. Next time, make sure you prepare a nine-tailed fox fur coat for me. Remember—only the best tuft from the tail tips.】

【Always Seventeen: Who are you?】

【Yin Yang Eye Jian Zi: As a spirit servant, what special ability does she have? Isn't Zi sister already powerful enough without needing one?】

【Always Seventeen: Precisely because I'm so powerful that I need a spirit servant—spirit servants can use part of their master's abilities. And Lan's talent isn't bad either. Though she's not much now, if I train her properly for two hundred years, she'll definitely be useful! Then I'll finally be free!】

【Yin Yang Eye Jian Zi: Two hundred years?! That's abuse! Give her a gentler childhood!】

【Always Seventeen: Hehehe, how can one become talented without hardship? I've already planned Lan's training regimen—she won't have time to complain.】

【Snow Woman: Zi sister… your tone sounds like Jia Ji brother…】

【Big Divine God: Turned into a jerk (confirmed).】

【Always Seventeen: It's definitely your imagination!】

To relieve pressure, the Youkai Sage had waited centuries for this spirit servant. Jia Ji's arrival should've helped… but instead, he directly changed the original plan—from landing on the moon—to building the Fantasy Realm. The burden didn't lighten—it grew heavier.

Right now, Ba Yun Zi probably wishes she could master the forbidden Fourfold Existence and split herself into four people. Even Youyouzi and Yaoji, turned into undead spirits, have no time to rest, let alone Lan, whom she placed such high hopes on.

"So this is how the Naked Celestial Fox was forged… Don't blame me, Lan. This is for your own good… maybe."

Even Jia Ji couldn't help but worry about Lan's future—hope she doesn't end up running naked every day from stress…

R. .

……

【Xiang: Master, are you alright? @Big Divine God】

While Jia Ji was chatting in a group on the plane, Xiang—who should've been returning home from the Second Division—sent this message.

【Big Divine God: Don't worry. They're just alchemists. I can handle them.】

According to Xiang herself, "I don't want to fight. My Gungnir exists to protect." So Jia Ji changed her nickname to her real name.

Even though she should be enduring worry and questions from family and friends, she still thought of his situation first?

Admittedly, it was touching—but she cared too much. It made Jia Ji feel uneasy.

【Xiang: Because… I have a bad feeling. Hmm, maybe I'm overthinking…】

Strange. Is this trip really that dangerous?

His martial path had already reached this level—how could Xiang sense unease while he felt nothing? Neither his intuition nor Water Shadow Heart gave any warning.

Besides, sneaking up on him is far harder than defeating him head-on.

Still, since she said so, Jia Ji decided to stay quietly alert. If anything slips, he'll unleash Wu Xiang Yin Sha—guaranteeing the opponent can't even touch his sleeve.

【Big Divine God: Received. Will handle seriously.】

……

France, Paris Charles Airport.

In truth, Jia Ji didn't know exactly where the person he sought was. Alchemists were elusive creatures. After learning humans had begun using Sacred Relics, and realizing Fen Yi had revived, they'd become even more cautious—only studying their subjects in secret.

But Caro Mars Dinhaim was different. Her subject was—destroying the world.

Born in medieval Europe, she grew up with her alchemist father, learning alchemy from him.

Once, when a plague broke out in her village, Caro and her father used alchemy to cure it. Afterwards, her father was burned at the stake for creating a "miracle."

Before his execution, her father told Caro: "Learn more about the world."

What did "learn about the world" mean to an alchemist?

To know everything, understand everything… destroy everything.

Driven by rage and grief, Caro decided to dismantle the world—to record and comprehend everything within it—as her path to "understanding the world."

Through—Tifoge Castle.

Also called the "World Destructor," it was Caro Mars Dinhaim's tool for destroying and analyzing the world: a massive floating castle named after the French Château de Tifoge.

Built with vast amounts of alchemical knowledge and Sacred Relics, it normally hides in a special dimension. When fully activated, it shatters the sky and appears before humanity.

Tifoge Castle works by resonating with the Song of Annihilation, amplifying its disintegration energy, which then radiates across the entire world through Ley Lines. This disintegrates the world—but can also be reversed to reconstruct it.

In other words, the World Destructor can become the World Savior!

So if he found Tifoge Castle, he'd find Caro Mars Dinhaim.

As for hiding in another dimension?

Around him, only cold, dusty steel. Above, endless blue sky. Standing atop Paris's most famous landmark, looking down, everything below looked like ants.

Countless tourists came daily to take photos at the Eiffel Tower—but neither naked eye nor camera could capture or record that man's figure.

Naturally, they wouldn't see him pull a stack of glowing talismans from his bottomless pocket.

"My turn!"
