Chapter 238: Volume 1 Chapter 238 I See Your Brow Is Dark (Complete)

When the evil spirits were about to break through the barrier, they all ran up the mountain.

The cold night wind blew over the exposed skin, leaving only each person's ragged breathing.

They ran at top speed to the mountain peak; the evil spirits behind them were uncontrollable and rushed into the altar.

An old man sat cross-legged at the center of the altar, his head full of white hair, his face covered in layers of wrinkles, and forbidden technique inscriptions spread across his exposed upper body.

After the evil spirits disappeared, the old man opened his eyes and floated in midair.

A team member who recognized the old man exclaimed in shock and fear: 'He is… the sect leader of the Original Order Sect.'

That renowned sect leader, who had slain countless evil spirits, was Zhong Xiong.

The evil spirits possessed the Celestial Master's body, devouring his power; these people could not possibly oppose him.

Several had already begun to retreat, wanting to flee for their lives.

The male lead, Yu Ze, said calmly: 'The formation it laid down is enough to destroy the whole world; right now only we can stop it. Those who want to leave I won't stop, but I hope you won't regret today's decision.'

Those words instantly dispelled the thoughts of those who wanted to flee.

Indeed, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they could not escape death.

'Form the array!' Wang Xiaolin drew his gold coin sword and shouted.

The old man at the center of the formation looked down on them, as if watching ants struggle to survive, which was laughable.

Once this formation is activated, no one can stop it.

'All you mortals must die!'

As the words fell, the old man's bodily inscriptions tore apart inch by inch; his body grew larger and larger, his skin sprouting blade‑proof beast armor, his frame twisting until he resembled a monster crawling out of hell.

The mountain peak collapsed, the sky above shrouded in an un dispersible ink, flickering with an ominous blood‑red hue.

'What… what kind of monster is that??'

Team members pointed in panic at the enlarging monster, collapsing to the ground with weak legs.

One after another, team members were seized by the monster and shoved into its mouth; some didn't even have time to scream before being crushed by its bite.

Yu Ze reacted fastest: 'Use the levitation spell!'

As the words fell, the people who had regained their senses hurriedly threw down talismans and floated in midair.

Wang Xiaolin bore the brunt; seeing several teammates die before his eyes, he lost control, filled with killing intent.

Jiang Zhi could only throw a few talismans to assist him.

Of the more than ten team members who went up the mountain, only four or five remained; the city near Dragon Tiger Mountain instantly became a purgatory battlefield, people unable to escape in time, dying in the black mist.

The black mist emanated from the monster's whole body, gradually spreading outward; wherever it reached, nothing grew.

After fighting for over an hour, the only survivors were the male lead Yu Ze, Wang Xiaolin, and her three companions.

Wang Xiaolin was severely wounded but had not yet fallen.

Jiang Zhi bit her fingertip, knocked him unconscious, sent him down the mountain, and used a seal to preserve his life.

She looked toward the male lead who could barely hold on, her brows furrowed tightly.

This does not match the arrangement of the God Pillar plot; Yu Beihan has disappeared, and the villain it personally created could not possibly be this strong, giving the male lead no chance at all.

She suddenly thought of something, turned her head to look at the man watching the show behind her, and asked: 'Is it you?'

With a wave of Yun Jin's hand, world time stopped abruptly, the surrounding air ceased to flow, and only the two of them could act in the entire world.

He slightly lifted his eyelids, his irises faintly golden, smiling: 'I thought Zhizhi wouldn't notice.'

Jiang Zhi looked at him in silence.

'I merely gave it some power,' Yun Jin answered her question gently, pausing a few seconds, the curve of his lips deepening: 'You know, my goal is to destroy the world.'

Jiang Zhi calmed quickly—how could this madman possibly be so obedient?

He was merely forcing her to make a choice.

Either submit to him and break free from the Main God's control, or choose death.

Jiang Zhi lowered her gaze to the gold coin sword in Wang Xiaolin's hand, its hilt stained with dark red blood, coming from its owner.

Before joining the Villain Team, she had always thought her life would be in the Cannon Fodder Team, completing all tasks then retiring—this was the life she could see at a glance.

An accident occurred, and she was transferred to the Villain Team.

The legendary Death Team.

The survival rate was less than ten percent.

She feared death and wanted to live to retire.

To her, Yun Jin's deal was a good thing.

People must accept fate; when faced with an insurmountable obstacle, they stop, change paths, and keep going.

But.

Jiang Zhi laughed from the heart, feeling a sense of relief.

'You're right.'

Yun Jin's deep pupils reflected her silhouette, filled with thick, morbid love, wrapped in terrifying possessiveness; his gaze toward her was like looking at possessions.

'Zhizhi, I know you're the same kind of person as I am.'

Air began to flow, and the stopped time disappeared.

Jiang Zhi turned, leapt up, and rushed without hesitation to Yu Ze's front to block the monster's fatal blow.

Yu Ze could not believe it; in his shocked vision, the girl's body fell from midair like a broken‑string puppet, losing all vitality.

He wanted to ask why.

They had only just spoken a few words.

Jiang Zhi closed her eyes, and the long‑unheard alarm of the God Pillar System sounded in her ears.

【Host's life plummeting!! Near death!!】

777 couldn't help crying: "Sorry, sorry, Host! It's all my fault you got hurt! Sorry!"

If it hadn't let the Host come to this world, she wouldn't have died.

Jiang Zhi's consciousness grew increasingly fuzzy; helplessly, she said: "Don't cry……"

Before she hit the ground, her body was scooped up sideways, and a man's angry, gloomy voice rang out.

"You threaten me with your life? Jiang Zhi, do you really think I'd save this world for you?"

Jiang Zhi's fingers lightly gripped his sleeve; her words were so weak they were fragmented:

"I… I… am not… the same kind of person as you."

"I… really… like those small worlds."

I like all the worlds I've passed through.

And what he wants to destroy are also those worlds.

So they are different.

Yun Jin also never truly understood her.

At the moment she was about to lose consciousness, the world-destroying monster died instantly, and it only took a flick of the man's finger.

The world returned to calm, the black mist dissipated.

The first ray of morning sun poured down onto Yun Jin's face, cold and unfeeling.

After a long while, he bent down and kissed the girl's forehead, filled with tender, affectionate love; the gold-flecked depths of his eyes welled with a hint of strange excitement.

"Zhizhi, I will change you." He said each word deliberately.

——

【This world ends】

——

Inside the Rest Cabin, Jiang Zhi woke up and sat up abruptly, easing the discomfort of near death.

……

Almost died!

Her breathing was uneven, her chest heaving violently, she lay on her back gasping.

777 hiccuped while crying: "Host… Host……"

It almost couldn't see the Host again.

Jiang Zhi's body returned to normal; she raised her pale, colorless face and said: "Don't cause trouble anymore, got it?"

777 sincerely thanked: "I will never chat with other systems again, thank you, Host."
