Chapter 374: God of the Dark Night

"I understand." Wei Chengye lowered his head, his mood unreadable, and said, "The things happening in Baizhou City now are related to that incident from back then, right?"

"Yes." Lin Ling provided the answer. In an instant, Wei Chengye felt a weight of ten thousand jin press upon his heart, and his emotions became stifled.

Wei Chengye let out a long sigh, "Since it is a disaster I left behind, I should be the one responsible. I also know that as a human, there is absolutely no possibility of me clashing with that existence. To Him, I am merely a passing bug that might be accidentally crushed if He were to turn over, yet I want to do something as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Destroy me, it has nothing to do with me.

Then if I have a chance to take revenge on you, you don't need to know the reason either, right?

Hearing this, Lin Ling looked at Wei Chengye with the loving indulgence one might show a child. He gently lifted Wei Chengye's drooping head, made the other person look into his eyes, and said, "He has always been watching this world, yearning for this blue planet. The Blood Moon you see is His mad eye. It is too difficult for Him to cross dimensions to come here, because not only do people like you not want Him to cross dimensions, but even the Alien Gods living on Earth share the same thought.

His appearance is like bringing a night of eternal unrest; beneath the endless darkness, chaos and madness are born. This is the Demon of Chaos.

He never needs to be summoned; He has always been peeping at everything from His filthy, foul room, then releasing His Avatars and lice to wreak havoc everywhere. Only a very small number of people can autonomously notice the Abnormalities of the Blood Moon. Most people are actually like you, like Wang Han, like Li Yuning—it is not that you noticed Him, it is that He deliberately let you notice His existence. The despair derived from this is His favorite delicacy."

"So, all of this, while called man-made, is actually deliberately guided by that thing which is even more of a beast than a beast." Wei Chengye clenched his fists again, but there was no anger in his heart, because he knew that thing would not react to his personal anger at all. What that thing wants to see is the reaction of the human collective in a chaotic situation.

Although anger is meaningless, one must still take action when necessary.

Not to mention humans, all things in the universe are meaningless on a cosmic scale, but humans can choose not to pursue the eternity of a cold universe and instead sink into immediate pleasure.

Just making that thing feel pain is enough! This was Wei Chengye's truly rational yet irrational thought at this moment.

Lin Ling saw Wei Chengye's determination, patted his shoulder lightly, asked him to wait in place for a moment, and then walked toward the merchandise shelves to begin helping Wei Chengye pick out a good item.

After a while, Lin Ling returned with a smile, holding a bottle of purple liquid, and gave it to Wei Chengye: "This is a tool that can help you achieve your wish, a bottle of Snake Venom."

"Sprinkle it on the Demon of Chaos?" Wei Chengye was puzzled. He had no chance to get close to the other party, and even if he did, being too close would allow a single movement from the other party to turn a tiny human like him into dust.

"Why don't you drink it yourself?" Lin Ling said with a smile.

Wei Chengye froze, "Do you mean for me to commit suicide? Are you trying to tell me that my plan to target the Demon of Chaos is impossible?"

Lin Ling's smile froze slightly, then he laughed: "Don't overthink it. After drinking this bottle of Snake Venom, you will be able to gain power. You understand the price of drinking poison, but these are secondary; after all, it makes no difference whether you use this poison or not."

Wei Chengye was not surprised by this and took the bottle of Snake Venom, "Indeed, there is nothing left to worry about now."

He opened the bottle cap, drank the Snake Venom in one gulp, and felt the intense taste of death rush straight to his brain, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

At the same time, Lin Ling explained from the side: "I know you want to ask what the origin of the Snake Venom is. I like to satisfy people's curiosity. Since you can't speak now, let me explain it to you. Once, there was a massive venomous snake capable of encircling the universe. It was dark and evil, considered the Avatar of destruction, chaos, and darkness, hoping for the world to fall into eternal darkness... Does that sound familiar? Yes, that is the true form of the Demon of Chaos.

This venom was scraped off its body. After you drink it, you will temporarily become a venomous snake similar to the Demon of Chaos. Although you look like a snake, you are not actually one; you have simply become venom in the shape of a snake.

Yes, in this form, you will not be noticed by the Demon of Chaos, and you can easily blind His other eye."

It is unknown if Wei Chengye heard what Lin Ling said last. He was screaming in pain, slowly turning into a massive purple giant snake, his whole body emitting a pungent odor, somewhat like machine oil but even more unpleasant, choking people until they felt dizzy.

It is also unknown whether Wei Chengye, having turned into this form, still possessed his own consciousness. It simply escaped into the void and quickly disappeared.

At the same time, Wei Chengye's body in the Real World also underwent a shocking transformation that left everyone dumbfounded. Wei Chengye's withered and shrunken body slowly collapsed and melted, turning into a puddle of viscous sludge that stuck tightly to the bedding on the hospital bed, disappearing completely.

Before the crowd could figure out the Abnormality that had occurred to Wei Chengye, everyone in the world—or rather, the entire universe—heard a wail that spread to every corner of space and time.

From then on, no one in this world ever witnessed the Blood Moon hanging high again. This unsolved mystery remained as mysterious and unknown as the vanished Group Leader of the Xuanmi Group.

Some say that the Blood Moon corresponded to an Alien God, and Group Leader Wei Chengye made some kind of deal with another great existence, using his own life as the price to make the Blood Moon disappear, or perhaps even making that Alien God disappear entirely.

However, because this claim was too fantastical and lacked substantive evidence, it was not widely accepted.

Yet, this was actually the guess closest to the truth. Wei Chengye did indeed pay the price and successfully injured the evil Alien God behind the Blood Moon who had committed many evils, but he did not make that Alien God disappear forever.

He is actually still there, only having lost the "eye" used for peeping.

Forest Cabin...

"Boss brother, what are you recording?" A little girl skipped to the counter, stood on tiptoe, revealed a pair of innocent big eyes, and curiously watched Lin Ling, who was writing and drawing in a notebook.

"Yuning, don't bother the boss casually. You are still very weak, go back and rest quickly." Li Jiahong, who had been on leave for a long time, finally returned to work. He had just changed into his work uniform and come out when he saw his newly reincarnated daughter acting willfully again, approaching the boss who was focused on his work.

Lin Ling waved his hand with a smile and said: "Recording a cycle.

That thing actually had many eyes, but they were all blinded by the same person later on. Now, Wei Chengye just happened to blind its last eye.

Hehe, if someone likes to witness darkness and chaos, then let it be unable to see."
