Chapter 276: The Truth Behind Is Getting More Complicated

"It's about time~"

Big Boss revealed a warm and sunny smile.

And those demons immediately panicked and knelt down to ask—after all, the bartender was the strongest among them, with strength above Ninth Rank, yet Big Boss killed him in just three seconds.

Rounding it up, if he killed them, wouldn't it take only one second? And compared to the speed of killing, what was more terrifying was the bartender's manner of death.

With so many people present, not a single one could see how he died.

Fear is the most primal instinct of all life, and fear of the unknown is the deepest of all fears.

Faced with this unknown, even these demons who kill without blinking trembled all over, unable to muster any thought of resistance.

"G-g-g-ghost!"

"D-don't kill us, don't kill us! Please, please!"

They wailed, trembled, and kowtowed with thudding sounds, each one louder than the last.

As if afraid that if their kowtowing sound was quieter than others', they'd be killed first.

Big Boss didn't speak, merely maintaining a faint smile.

He was thinking about how to make these demon scraps exert their maximum value.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly discovered that a line of prompt appeared within his system panel.

【Because of the Book of Deception and True Blade, this illusion mistook you for the Caster, and you harvested 1 Fear Point from the demons.】

【Your Dark Bible can absorb these Fear Points to form a sub-volume, Book of Fear.】

【You can experience the illusion multiple times to collect Fear Points.】

"Book of Fear? Isn't that Long Mo's?" Big Boss's eyes lit up.

It seemed, indeed just as he had thought.

The Book of Deception in his hand had higher priority than all the Dark Bibles he had encountered so far.

He didn't know whether this was because Deception's status was higher, or because that Deception God treated himself as another person, placing more power within this book.

But... wasn't this an illusion generated according to the Plague Mother Goddess's memories? Why could NPCs within the illusion still provide Fear Points?

Big Boss was somewhat doubtful.

But no matter what, the effect of the Dark Bible was still very powerful.

Previously he had used 【Absolutely Fair Contract】, at the cost of the lifespan of Huo Lao Lao, to completely bamboozle all the demons of the Wrath Father God Domain.

The effect of this Book of Fear surely wouldn't be bad either.

"Did not expect that the original intention was to have the Plague Mother Goddess kill me, but instead gained an unexpected joy."

"But, experiencing the illusion multiple times... tsk, this efficiency is too low."

As an Evil Path Player, what Big Boss hated most was repeatedly grinding for something.

Rather than repeatedly grinding, it would be better to...

He looked at the 【1/10000】 Book of Fear generation progress bar displayed in the system panel, revealing an even more satisfied smile.

So first—

Big Boss raised his hand, smiled brightly: "God's Gift."

The few demons closest to Big Boss immediately had their bellies swell up, and the childbirth pain amplified ninety times made these demons collapse to the ground all at once, curling up their bodies, like cooked shrimp.

They had tearful eyes and cold sweat pouring down, in so much pain they were about to faint, yet strangely there wasn't a trace of pain on their faces, instead they seemed to enjoy it so much.

"So, so comfortable! (It hurts, it hurts so much, save me!)"

"Yes, this feeling, this unprecedented refreshing sensation, Adult, thank you, really thank you! (I've never hurt this much, it hurts too much, I can't control it!)"

"Yes, thank you Adult, thank you Adult, you let us find ourselves, you let us have a new life! (I'll kill you, I'll kill you!!!!)"

Such a bizarre scene truly scared the demons standing behind silly.

The appearance of these companions was undoubtedly a sign of pregnancy.

But how could they possibly be pregnant?

And why would such happy expressions appear on their faces?

Is pregnancy such a happy thing? What on earth is going on?

What on earth is going on!

But soon, they learned what had happened to their colleagues.

The happy news spread among the Demon Merchants, one after another they stuck out their big bellies, arched their waists, curled up their bodies, and crawled on the ground.

Savoring the ninetyfold supreme pain.

The pain almost tore their souls apart.

Yet what they shouted with their mouths was "Ah, so comfortable, so great!" "Adult, thank you, thank you!" and similar words.

They finally understood what their companions had felt.

Clearly in excruciating pain, yet unable to wail even a single word, only able to speak those wolfish terms.

So filthy!

So despicable!

This is intolerable!

Resist, must resist!

For a moment, the demons were all stirred up, clenched their fists, used all their strength, and shouted: "So comfortable! Really so comfortable! So comfortable!"

Waaah waaah waaah waaah, why can't I resist!

Fear and despair surged from these demons' hearts, they trembled, even forgetting to breathe from fright.

Hmm, maybe they forgot because of the pain...

【You obtained 10 Fear Points X34.】

【You gained 14 Fear Points x21.】

【You gained Fear Points……】

As the information pulsed, before long, Big Boss's Book of Fear completion became 【3000/10000】.

The speed of collecting fear was faster than a roller coaster.

But be that as it may, these Demon Race really have backbone; no wonder they can be Demon Merchants.

They're in this much pain, yet not a single miserable scream came out!

"Truly resilient." Big Boss couldn't help but admire.

Demon Race Merchants: I resilient your ****, I ****, I ****** but even while appreciating their scoundrel appearance, Big Boss still frowned, revealing a hostile gaze.

Obviously, he was unsatisfied with the speed at which these Demon Race produced fear.

You lot, can't you put in a bit more effort?

If you don't put in proper effort, how is Grandpa Li Cheng supposed to get the Book of Fear?

Being watched by Big Boss's gaze, the various Demon Race Merchants only felt a chill run through their whole bodies, scared to the point of having the urge to urinate, one after another curling up their bodies, happily weeping tears.

"Alright, you've been in pain this long, can't even speak, you've worked hard too." Big Boss smiled gently, releasing the 【Great Love Little Angel】 halo.

Simultaneously with releasing it, he also thoughtfully rubbed out a few large Fireballs, preparing to use some oblivious thing to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Unexpectedly, these Merchants, every single one who resisted, instead curled up and didn't dare move an inch.

Can't be helped, under the manipulation of this "Ghost Attack" incident, the Demon Race Merchants' heart-fear had become the same as discovering your girlfriend is Nan Liang's Straight Man.

"Huh? Why aren't you resisting anymore?"

Big Boss smiled and walked into the crowd's middle, gaze casually turning toward a Demon Race.

That Demon Race was precisely the Demon Race A he had set off firecrackers on before.

Demon Race A's complexion instantly became like wind oil essence had been smeared on meat ().

"Ghost Adult, Ghost Adult, no no no, own people, own people ah!"

The other disciples also cried for parents.

"Who's your own people, right, various Demon Race gentlemen, I'm a bit curious, you've done so many unconscionable things, why would you still fear ghosts?" Big Boss suddenly asked.

The other Demon Race hadn't reacted yet, Demon Race A took the lead stopping his Big Belly, Head Banging.

Mhm, because his belly was too large, unable to bend at the waist, he could only lie there, using the back of his head to continuously bang against the ground: "Ghost Big Brother, Ghost Adult, Ghost Big Dad, we, we did do many unconscionable things, but, but these things, were all forced on us by that Dean Old Bidden ah!"

"Oh? So you're saying you were also forced?" Big Boss raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes, it's really like that!"

"Adult, we fundamentally don't want to do these things ah, what kidnapping young girls, selling children, modifying kids…… these are things only beasts would do ah!"

Demon Race A with a handful of snot and a handful of tears.

"You guys still have quite a bit of self-awareness?" Big Boss raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, we, we hate that we can't eliminate that Dean old thing immediately ah! I actually, I actually am Undercover, Ghost Adult look, this is all the criminal evidence of that Lao Deng I've collected these years!"

Demon Race A hurriedly pulled out a Small Booklet from his bosom, laboriously handed it over.

This instead amused Big Boss, didn't expect this goods' preparation was actually this thorough.

Looks like from when he started working with the Dean, he'd already planned his retreat route.

He hadn't spoken yet, when he heard the Demon Race's voices, one after another ringing out:

"Adult, I have one here too!"

"Ghost Adult, look at mine, look at mine ah!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Speaking, these Demon Race, actually all took out Small Booklets recording evidence.

Good fellow, originally thought there was only one opportunist, didn't expect, actually the whole crew this Filial Piety.

Big Boss's Mouth Corner twitched, completely confused by them.

"Ghost Adult, we know your Painstaking Effort, you don't need to continue torturing us! We and that Dean old thing, fundamentally aren't of one heart, Infiltration many years, just to destroy this Magic Window!" Demon Race A spoke with righteous indignation: "We are good citizens ah, good citizens ah Adult!"

"Since you're here to destroy this Magic Window……" Big Boss raised his eyebrows: "So that means we really are own people?"

"Yes yes yes." Demon Race hurriedly nodded.

"Then what I just did to you?"

"That was Adult you admonishing us this group of Foolish guys! Although we're Undercover, we were also forced to do quite a few wrong things, this is the punishment we deserve!"

"Then how to explain the bartender's death?" Big Boss asked again.

"Heh, that bartender had wolfish ambitions, always was the Dean Adult's running dog, he deserved to die, Adult killing him is right! Adult killed well!" "So that means I didn't make a single mistake?" Big Boss continued asking.

"Of course of course, how could Adult possibly be wrong, any wrong is all our wrong!"

Demon Race desperately said Auspicious Words, just to make Big Boss happy.

No way, this goods torturing people is too scary.

And most importantly, they fundamentally don't know, what this thing actually is.

How it suddenly killed the bartender, and Bao Zhan the body.

How it suddenly made them all Pregnant! Could it be, could it be there really are ghosts in this World? As Abyss Demon Race, yet fearing ghosts, wuwuwu, we don't want this either, so embarrassing……

"Mhm, you're quite reasonable, not bad not bad." Big Boss gently patted Demon Race A's Shoulder.

"Hey, hehe, Adult's teaching is right." Demon Race A breathed a sigh of relief, Chan Shou said: "That Adult, when do we burn this Magic Window down?"

"Burn it?" Big Boss Doubtful: "Why burn this place?"

"Eh? Adult, you're not here to eliminate evil……" Demon Race A froze.

"When did I say I'd eliminate evil?" Big Boss smiled, extended his Palm, slowly gripped: "This much money, heh, I want it all!"

Demon A: "!!!"

It's over!

Overthinking! Taking scum who'd eat their own kind and thinking them a Savior!

"Right, what did you say just now, oh right, you said you're an undercover agent, a law-abiding citizen." Li Cheng showed a sunny smile again: "Did I mishear?"

"!!!" Demon A along with the large group of demons behind him, all had huge exclamation marks pop up above their heads.

Immediately after, with lightning speed, they stuffed that booklet recording evidence of crimes into their mouths, chewing while shouting in unison: "What law-abiding citizens? Where are any law-abiding citizens? We are the most venomous human traffickers! Rest assured, Adult, we will surely swear to serve you to the death!"

"Make it big and strong! Create new glory!"

The voices were deafening, ear-splitting, shaking heaven and earth, truly born.

Li Cheng's eyes also narrowed, cheering for them: "Good, very good, very spirited!"

Just now this wave, under his intimidation, another 1000 came in, already reached 4000/10000.

Not bad, not bad.

Li Cheng smiled satisfactorily.

"Adult, Adult, we are all your servants, your loyal dogs ah, with a big shot like you holding the fort, our business will surely bloom everywhere!"

Demon A directly knelt on the ground, hugging Li Cheng's thigh: "Please spare us, we're very useful, very useful!"

"Alright then." Li Cheng nodded satisfactorily, deceiving: "Seeing you beg for mercy so devoutly, then I'll let you go."

"Really, really?" Demon A couldn't believe his own ears.

"What, you don't want to live?"

"Want to live, want to live ah!" Demon A trembled in fear.

He feared Li Cheng was intentionally deceiving them.

"Rest assured, I guarantee I won't make a move against you, but you, must also swear loyalty to me." Li Cheng smilingly took out the Book of Deception, using Grandma Dian Huo's 100 years of lifespan, formulated a contract binding only these demons.

Li Cheng always believed his moral bottom line should be the rock-bottom one among all species.

So, compared to those even more born than himself, he never had tolerance.

These demons definitely need to be dealt with, just after they have no more value.

When the time comes, let them die in fear and regret.

On the other side, sensing the contract power, Demon A instantly wept with gratitude.

Looks like we can survive, really can survive! And this time, even followed an even more awesome Master!

This Ghost Adult's strength is unfathomable, stronger than the Dean by who knows how many levels, presumably behind him also stands some remarkable big shot.

No, maybe, this Ghost Adult himself is a big shot!

If so, this wave is fundamentally a blessing in disguise, hugging a thigh ah! No, I must perform well, become Adult's confidant.

Thinking here, Demon A's hanging heart finally settled down, he devoutly swore:

"Rest assured, Master, we will certainly help you, properly run this place well, we are absolutely your most loyal warriors!"

Other demons, also followed clamoring:

"Right, who is that Dean Old Bidden, not familiar at all!"

"Dean? Do we have this person here?"

While frantically cutting ties, they still stuck out their bellies and saluted Li Cheng: "Loyal! Honest!"

"Good, very spirited." Li Cheng nodded: "Alright then, bring me to your treasure vault, don't tell me you spent all the money you earned these many years."

"No, no, how could that be possible." Demon A hurriedly stood up: "Master, this way please."

He stuck out his belly, swaying his body, bringing Li Cheng toward the underground treasury inside.

Actually, he really wanted Master to restore his belly to original state.

But cannot!

Must maintain this painful posture, serve Master, only this way can display his loyalty! Right, Loyal! Honest!

Although hurting until already leaking,

But no matter, for progress, all this is worth it! "Adult, right here, this is the treasure vault entrance, but we can't enter." Demon A said fawningly: "This place only that Dean Old Deng can open, heard it has the power of that Adult behind him."

"Truth be told, we also tried together to break this thing before, but all futile, even lost a few brothers because of it."

"Dean Old Deng according to plan will definitely return tonight, I propose, we ambush him, tie him here, open the door for you!"

Good fellow, you really are loyal enough ah... Li Cheng glanced at him, then reached out to touch the underground treasury door.

As expected, a layer of faint blue light flashed, his hand was bounced away.

From the energy magnitude, this power is undoubtedly Demigod Level power.

Moreover, not an ordinary Demigod.

"More and more interesting, this forbidden seal is actually Abyss Seven Gods' power, but she's very careful, hid her information, then who would it be?"

Li Cheng thought, among these Abyss Seven Gods, Deception and Suffering both have relations with self, one a loli hag, one all loving, don't seem like people who'd do this kind of thing, Lust although not too familiar, but always thinking lewd things, probably wouldn't be a bad person either.

And Wrath and Plague right now are both kids, still in this plan...

Looking this way, only Void Mother Goddess and True Mother Goddess have larger suspicion...

Between these two, Li Cheng leans more toward Void Mother Goddess, after all, in PC Version she's the Seven Gods' leader, truly a deity with maxed-out prestige.

If she planned all this, is the true big BOSS, also makes sense...

"If say, Plague's tragedy was planned, then... Abyss Incarnation's seizure, and Wrath Mother Goddess's death... tsk tsk tsk, looks like things are even more complex than I imagined."

Li Cheng laughed, took out True Blade from bosom, fiercely slashed out.

【You heard the echo that breaks ten thousand laws, you shredded the defensive array before you, you consumed Bu Qi Zhi Ren 10,000 people portions.】

"Still acceptable consumption." Li Cheng nodded, pushed door and entered.

And behind him, a bunch of demon merchants looked at each other, eyes all straightened.

Damn, a big shot!

This is absolutely a super big shot! One strike and this seal was slashed away! This is absolutely a big shot on par with the person behind Dean Lao Deng!

This time, we've really hugged a thick and hard thigh! "We're rich, we're rich this time!" Demon Race A looked at his fellow clansmen.

And excited expressions appeared on their faces as well.

But besides this expression, there was also a hint of ruthlessness.

Everyone knows that positions around a big shot are limited; one person enters, ten thousand retreat.

If one wants to progress, one must run ahead of others.

The ambitious Demon Race narrowed their eyes.

"Truly a terrifying amount." Big Boss entered the Treasure Vault and found that this place was just like the Treasure Vault of the Furious Father God, a huge space, with a layout not much different.

And inside were Gold Pounds, initially estimated at over 2 billion.

So much money, just right for the construction of the Ominous Blade.

Big Boss didn't think twice, just waved his hand and put all the Gold Pounds into his Underwear.

Meanwhile, he also found it increasingly strange.

Is this really an illusion?

Why can even Gold Coins be generated as real?

Frowning, Big Boss simply stopped thinking about this matter and continued walking deeper into the room.

There, a special Gold Coin was floating.

The Gold Coin was carved with a towering great tree, branches lush and leaves dense, as if connecting infinite worlds.

Big Boss looked closely and rubbed its pattern: "World Tree? Is this the Mark/Insignia of the World Tree?"

"Correct meow, there is indeed the power of the World Tree on this." Lilith Cat floated out, and also took out the Savior's Handbook: "Big Boss, look, this thing is in the illustrated handbook!"

【Emblem Stone Gold Coin of the World Tree】

【Rating: Unrated, Unique】

【A Gold Coin possessing the origin power of the World Tree, possessing the laws of time and space.】

【The spacetime where this Coin is located will be fixed as the main timeline of events that truly occurred, unable to be interfered with by external forces.

【Therefore, illusions, Secret Realms, and Trials generated based on the spacetime where this Gold Coin is located will all be broken; everything seen and everything connected will all be pointed toward the real world of the past.】

【At the same time, this real world cannot be entered from the outside.】

After reading the explanation, Big Boss roughly understood.

Translated into human speech, this long explanation means that something that happened in the childhood of the Plague Mother God was artificially fixed as an unrewritable history.

And this history was also sealed; no one can enter.

And now, Big Boss himself is inside this history.

In other words, Big Boss is not inside an illusion, but has truly returned to the childhood of the Plague Mother God.

"But that's not right; this explanation says no one can enter this world, so how did I get in?"

He thought for a moment, looked at the True Blade in his hand, and his eyes narrowed.

"So that's how it is……"
