times\" happened right before Jiang Ye's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that the disconnected Guiwen clone didn't know about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, now that his memories have synchronized, the Witch Gui Jiang Ye naturally understands the meaning of \"the times have changed\" more profoundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the perspective of Cheng Lin Jiang Ye, his first reaction was one of confusion—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, based on the \"transmigration\" situation he personally experienced...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this new era, everything about the transmigrated players has been \"formatted\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did Jiang Ye's clones lose their former talent abilities;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, following this pattern...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these \"changed times\" circumstances, how could \"Chen Cang\" still possess the [Protagonist Halo]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn't his so-called [Protagonist Halo], like the talent skills of other transmigrated players, have been formatted as well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Jiang Ye naturally realized...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"transmigration\" achieved within that Reincarnation Mirror Palace was probably quite different from the transmigration within the Forbidden Zone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this might also be the reason why the Light players chose to \"go all out,\" swarming into the Reincarnation Mirror Palace in droves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their Light talents were formatted...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Light players who had schemed for so long would probably feel like dying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts indeed confirm this, at least Chen Cang did not lose his [Protagonist Halo].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After revealing the information \"the times have changed\" to the Witch Gui, he suddenly reached his hand into his own throat, pulling at his tongue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tongue in his throat was pulled out very, very long, making his whole person appear as eerie as a hanged ghost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Witch Gui Jiang Ye was horrified by this action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a huge pustule bulge at Chen Cang's throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if something was connected to his tongue, being forcibly pulled out from his throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, that extremely elongated tongue was finally completely pulled out of his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the bulging pustule at his throat slowly subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the end of the pulled-out tongue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was connected to an extremely ugly toad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its two round, bulging eyes looked utterly bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its bluish-black skin was covered in pustules!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the entire toad body clearly emitted a foul odor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that long tongue pulled out by Chen Cang transformed into the toad's tongue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The toad retracted the tongue back into its throat, then let out a \"croak,\" its cheeks puffing in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire toad then transformed into a watch, which Chen Cang directly put on his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that strange watch recording Chen Cang's information...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the current perspective of the Cheng Lin version Jiang Ye, he naturally knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a prison watch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And only by wearing the prison watch could Chen Cang finally leave that sealed ice coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on the watch, he walked out of that Reincarnation Mirror Palace with its six constantly, rapidly rotating mirrors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Reincarnation Mirror Palace, he appeared in a deep, abyssal seabed-like environment, surrounded by icy cold water with a turbulent current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his [Protagonist Halo], Chen Cang simply followed the flow of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he stepped into this Forest of Oddities through a spatial passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, during these actions, the Witch Gui Jiang Ye, who possessed the [Nesting Inner Demons] on Chen Cang, naturally continuously obtained information from Chen Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he learned—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That toad-transformed watch pulled from his body was a temporary watch with only a 1-year usage period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more accurately, a temporary prison watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this temporary watch's existence that all of Chen Cang's abilities were preserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including his gorgeous data panel, his SSS-grade [Divine Assistance] skill, and those skills including the [Protagonist Halo]...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all preserved through that temporary watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the one-year usage period passes, that temporary watch will become invalid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, all of Chen Cang's abilities will also disappear along with the temporary watch's invalidation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, according to that \"Mysterious Existence\"—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Cang wants to preserve the identity of \"Chen Cang,\" and all the abilities attached to this identity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he must, within the one-year deadline, transform the temporary watch into a permanently effective watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the only way to complete this transformation is... to subdue the \"moon\" of this era!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So obviously, the task that \"Mysterious Existence\" demanded Chen Cang to do was to subdue the moon of this era within one year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for this arduous task, the Mysterious Existence also gave Chen Cang quite sufficient strategic information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first and most crucial point is—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The act of subduing the \"moon\" of this era must be completed during the 「solar eclipse」 of this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, if within the one-year deadline, no 「solar eclipse」 phenomenon occurs in this era...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this task will be fundamentally impossible for Chen Cang to achieve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Mysterious Existence believed that since Chen Cang possesses the [Protagonist Halo]...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then under the effect of the [Protagonist Halo], the year following his current point in time would most likely have a 「solar eclipse」!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what Chen Cang needs to do is to make ample preparations for subduing the \"moon\" before that potentially arriving 「solar eclipse」!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the prerequisite of the 「solar eclipse」, the most crucial preparation for subduing the \"moon\" is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tool for plucking the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Mysterious Existence, this tool can only be the \"toad's tongue\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Chen Cang's primary task is to search for the \"Moon-Devouring Giant Toad\" of this era!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the \"Moon-Devouring Giant Toad\" is not that easy to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even according to the Mysterious Existence's own words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His understanding of the \"Moon-Devouring Giant Toad\" is also very limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, despite knowing little, the Mysterious Existence still stated—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on Chen Cang's [Protagonist Halo], he would definitely be able to find the \"Moon-Devouring Giant Toad\" before the 「solar eclipse」...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main idea is one of \"trust\"—you have the [Protagonist Halo], you can succeed at anything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Witch Gui Jiang Ye learned this, he felt somewhat speechless internally...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a bit suspicious that Chen Cang might have intentionally concealed something from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the Mysterious Existence didn't know much about the \"Moon-Devouring Giant Toad,\" he was still quite responsible in pointing out several clear paths for Chen Cang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either, Chen Cang searches through the various spatial passages scattered across the Moon River's riverbed in this era;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, Chen Cang chops down hair trees in the misty Forest of Oddities;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the moment he chops down a hair tree, a colossal tongue will stretch over, snatch away the hair tree, and he must ensure to be swept away along with the hair tree by the giant tongue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, there's a considerable probability of entering the stomach of the \"Moon-Devouring Giant Toad\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to survive inside the giant toad's stomach...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, with the [Protagonist Halo], he definitely won't die anyway!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it's all about trying your luck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the guidance of the [Protagonist Halo], you can court death recklessly, definitely won't die, and instead turn every danger into an opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That \"Mysterious Existence\" gave Chen Cang a truly god-level brainwashing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Chen Cang originally strongly believed his [Protagonist Halo] would definitely help him succeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the Mysterious Existence's brainwashing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed it even more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Mysterious Existence he couldn't normally access held his [Protagonist Halo] in such high regard...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally proved his [Protagonist Halo] was indeed outrageously powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under the deterrence of the [Protagonist Halo], the Mysterious Existence definitely wouldn't dare scheme against him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only choose to assist him, and then, after Chen Cang achieved fame and success, reap benefits from the crumbs falling through his fingers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Cang's view, the Witch Gui's [Nesting Inner Demons] on him was essentially just attaching another \"portable old grandpa\" to him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Witch Gui wasn't here to control him, but to aid him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, Chen Cang thinking this way doesn't seem entirely wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take those three Sun People players who threw the [Time-Limited Instant Kill] at him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Witch Gui Jiang Ye being unaffected by the [Time-Limited Instant Kill], using his Conscious Soul Body to occupy that temporary prison watch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two mechanical eyeballs would probably have already put on that prison watch and directly replaced Chen Cang's identity by now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, after synchronizing the Witch Gui's memories, Jiang Ye directly understood the reason why the mechanical eyeballs couldn't put on the prison watch dropped by Chen Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't because it was a temporary watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But simply because the watch had not become \"ownerless\" due to Chen Cang's \"death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Witch Gui was still on the watch, so naturally the mechanical eyeballs couldn't take their turn to wear an \"owned\" watch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three Sun People players didn't know about the Witch Gui's existence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching helplessly as that dropped watch couldn't be worn by the Enforcer eyeballs...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of the three Sun People players shifted unpredictably!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, they showed caution when facing lowly Moon People players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not daring to approach to inspect that abnormal prison watch, the Sun Person with \"Cheng Lin's\" appearance said in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless of the reason causing the abnormality, for safety's sake...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As soon as that guy revives, we'll use our authority to kill him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, they wouldn't get the converted Sun and Moon People player, nor that abnormal watch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least, they could strangle all risks in the cradle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye, currently acting as a watch on \"Cheng Lin's\" wrist, did have a way to save Chen Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was more curious—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Chen Cang, possessing the [Protagonist Halo], use his [Protagonist Halo] to break the ironclad rule that Sun People hold absolute power of life and death over Moon People?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parasitic Witch Gui wasn't afraid of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the [Eternal Witch Gui], as long as his cremains remain, the Witch Gui does not die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this current era, even he himself didn't know where his cremains were...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he probably really couldn't die even if he wanted to!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, his Conscious Soul Body could randomly \"seize the body\" of players!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if \"seizing the body\" of the three Sun People players might carry risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those legions of mindless \"Sun and Moon People\" following behind them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were practically the Witch Gui's reserve army for body seizure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Witch Gui Jiang Ye simply ignored Chen Cang's life or death, and directly seized the body of a featureless bald version Sun and Moon People player afflicted with the [Curse of Despair].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, with this wave of body seizure, Jiang Ye also wanted to further understand—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that [Curse of Despair] really only turn Sun and Moon People players into featureless bald beings, without any other effects?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Witch Gui seizes the body, he should gain a deeper feeling of the [Curse of Despair], right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts proved... indeed so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this \"deep feeling\" almost caused him to expose himself on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he seized the body of the featureless bald version Sun and Moon Person, the Witch Gui synchronized with a pain close to Lightburn agony from the Sun and Moon Person's body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pain seemed to act directly on the soul entity, so the soulless Sun and Moon People showed no signs of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after his seizure, his soul entity was instantly filled with that terrifying pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the Witch Gui Jiang Ye in Conscious Soul Body state almost thought his consciousness had been torn to shreds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost couldn't help but scream out using the Sun and Moon People player's body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even revealed a flaw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the face of the Sun and Moon People player he had seized, which should have had no thoughts, an expression of \"pain\" actually appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, on a face without facial features, the \"pain\" it displayed was simply a kind of facial contortion...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, at this time, the three Sun People players' attention was on the soon-to-revive Chen Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Witch Gui Jiang Ye, after instantly experiencing that wave of pain, decisively abandoned the Sun and Moon People body afflicted with the [Curse of Despair], and instead seized the body of a Sun and Moon People player with normal facial features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, that soul-deep pain quickly dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye still felt a kind of fear, his entire soul trembling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he felt some regret—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among this reserve army for body seizure, only those not afflicted with the [Curse of Despair] were usable...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he saw Chen Cang, who had just been [Time-Limited Instant Killed], had now revived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the vision limitation of the misty environment, he didn't even see the Sun People players and the Sun and Moon People army ten meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment he put his watch back on, he noticed a pair of mechanical eyeballs staring at him with predatory intensity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mysterious Existence had introduced the situation of this era to him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he naturally knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Moon People wearing watches...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These mechanical eyeballs are also called \"Enforcers\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hold absolute power of life and death over Moon People players!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the hairs all over Chen Cang's body stood on end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, he realized with utmost clarity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That when a person infinitely approaches death...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time itself seems to automatically slow down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the first time his heart wavered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the so-called [Protagonist Halo]... really make everything go smoothly for him, turning misfortune into fortune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts proved that, at least this time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to have really let him escape death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw those two mechanical eyeballs that should have erased Chen Cang...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right before completely erasing Chen Cang, as if suppressed by an invisible force, suddenly fell uncontrollably from the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then soon, the two eyeballs completely merged into the scalp-like ground below!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene left Chen Cang dumbfounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And made him believe once again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy crap! My Protagonist Halo! Is truly awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limited by the mist's obstructed vision, what Chen Cang didn't see was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that area over ten meters away from him, a large number of eyeballs growing in players' eyes also fell uncontrollably in that same instant!\u003C\u002Fp>",2389,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.056Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","0843cceda5eb3103dba040d194ced9a0305e809ef7bd5f674c9bc6a9869d580f","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-483","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-481",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
