Chapter 250: Insider Operation, Super Benefits (Begging for Monthly Tickets)

Source: Yuan Chu Altar.

While keeping an eye on the performance of players in the Spirit Breath World, Qi Sheng was also keeping an eye on Xiao Xiao Fa, who had obtained the Blood King's memories.

It wasn't that he was worried Xiao Xiao Fa would be affected after gaining the Blood King's vast memories.

Although the thickness of the two's memories was not on the same level at all.

The Blood King had waged war across realms for countless years; Xiao Xiao Fa's 23 years of memories were like a single drop of water in a washbasin before the Blood King's memories.

If the memories truly fully fused, Xiao Xiao Fa would inevitably lose his true self and believe he was the Blood King.

But with the protection of the Purification System, any memories or emotions from outside could not affect the player.

Because any sensation brought by memories required corresponding emotions as a carrier; memories without emotions were like a movie.

The Purification System erased all emotions, leaving only pure information in the memories.

For example, the Blood King's memories contained the pleasure brought by slaughter and conquest, but the Purification System would strip away these spiritual feelings, leaving only the fact that slaughter had once occurred.

A similar situation could also be referenced with Painful Painful Minghun.

When Meng Yuan Chu was first contained, quite a few players were struck by the rule characteristics of mockery.

An irrepressible, intense fury arose within them, and the Illusion woven by memories left the players unable to extricate themselves.

But after this segment of memory was cleansed by the Purification System, the emotions contained within the memory vanished completely, and the players would not be affected by this segment of memory in any way.

The Blood King's memories were incomparably long; after being stripped by the Purification System, they became a dry, lengthy documentary.

Reviewing these memories again, Xiao Xiao Fa would use his own emotions as the starting point, feeling anger, empathy, and so on.

Rather than experiencing these memories through the Blood King's emotions.

Like a saved archive database, Xiao Xiao Fa could call it up and view it at any time, but was limited to merely viewing.

For example, in a segment of the Blood King's slaughter memory, the corresponding emotional tone of the Blood King at the time was exhilaration.

After Xiao Xiao Fa watched this segment of memory, the thought that arose might be disgust, feeling that this act was too cruel.

The memory was the same, but the emotions generated were all based on Xiao Xiao Fa's own thoughts.

He could empathize, could feel sorrow, could feel anger, but all were dominated by the player's own thoughts.

It was more like harvesting a precious book of memories, containing much useful knowledge that could be browsed.

These memories even included memories about Earth.

Because the Blood King's memories contained discussions between it and the other seven Spirit Breath Wang Zuo about how to invade Earth.

But regarding this portion of memory, Qi Sheng had no intention of altering it either.

The Eclipse Clan had already explained it very clearly to the outside.

The Spirit Breath World instance was created based on the forces about to invade Earth as a blueprint.

Therefore, the plan to invade Earth, including the content of controlling the floating giant beasts to enter Earth for reconnaissance, could all be reasonable plot information.

Secondly, the Eclipse Clan also stated that the small-world instances contained many hidden Easter eggs and hidden plot content, triggered randomly.

All explanations had already been given in advance by the Eclipse Clan; there was no need to worry about issues in this regard.

In fact, Qi Sheng didn't need to have the Guide send this player a Challenger prompt explaining this was hidden plot.

Since Monster World went online.

Apart from Domain Node containment and Source Initial monster containment, all quests had no explicit Challenger prompts.

Later, a large amount of unverified intelligence was obtained from the death space of the Lord of Bliss, and only then was the update setting implemented where some hidden quests would trigger prompts.

Before this, players discovering the Darkborn Space, discovering the Bliss Space, and a series of other events were all spontaneously organized by players; there were no prompts about hidden quests at all.

But these events that could bring substantial profits were, in the players' eyes, a hidden plot.

Many hidden quests had no prompts; in the players' eyes, this was an official hidden setting to increase the game's freedom.

……

At this moment, the Spirit Breath World.

Blood Pool Super Beast Legion garrison.

"It's over, completely over."

Thinking about having to face countless furious players, Xiao Xiao Fa's mentality exploded.

The boosting mode was indeed very satisfying; he had earned over a hundred thousand Shou Shou Jili lying down, but the price was becoming a public enemy of all.

The karma was too heavy; he felt he couldn't bear it.

As a player, he could provoke any powerful enemy; even the Black Tide could be fought without hesitation, without fear.

But he absolutely could not become a public enemy among the player community, otherwise he couldn't even leave Emperor Tomb Village.

His own players were a more terrifying existence than the Black Tide or Insect Tide.

Now he had already reached a dead end.

Thinking that a large number of players had already stated on the forums they would unite to punish him, Xiao Xiao Fa's expression flickered between dark and uncertain.

"Damn it, worst case I'll fight to the death!"

He hardened his heart, harboring the thought of simply becoming a villain boss, walking a path of slaughter and growth.

But when his peripheral vision caught the 999+ friend request notifications, that fierce resolve in his heart was like a punctured balloon, completely deflated.

He felt he was completely daydreaming.

Being enemies with his fellow countrymen only led to a dead end; how could he possibly fight against fellow countrymen who had united.

If he chose to continue being arrogant, he might get doxxed offline by his fellow countrymen, dragged out of the gaming pod and beaten up.

He wasn't worried about the privacy protection of the Upper Realm beings within the game.

Although players couldn't find his information from Monster World's database, many brothers in the guild knew which city he lived in.

Many clues pieced together might just lead to his specific address.

When the time came, the arrogant online villain would be beaten black and blue offline.

Besides, the path of a villain was hardly one he could walk.

The Lingxi race's growth system placed in Monster World was nothing but a younger brother's level; even if he possessed the entire Lingxi army, going to Monster World would just make him a dish on the table, with any nearby faction free to come take a few bites.

Back home, he didn't even qualify to be a villain.

"It's over."

The more he thought, the more desperate Xiao Xiao Fa became, so he summoned the function interface, called out the shielded guide water orb, then looked at the guide water orb floating beside him with an expectant expression and asked:

"Guide bro, can I delete my account and start over?"

The guide's eyelid lifted slightly:

【What do you think?】

"I think it's possible!"

The guide did not answer, and closed its eyelid once more.

Seeing the guide's reaction, Xiao Xiao Fa's heart turned cold.

Even without asking, he already knew the answer.

But he still asked, clinging to a sliver of hope, longing for a miracle.

Monster World, this game, has no fixed class system; whatever build you want to play, as long as you have Shou Shou Jili, you can switch at any time.

So there simply is no function set up for deleting an account and starting over, or creating an alt.

He's probably done for.

He definitely can't go back to the village right now.

He had just browsed the forum and estimated that at least a hundred thousand players wanted to kill him to vent their anger.

Most of those players had no personal grudge against him, but many players had their own little groups; offending one meant offending the entire little group.

The result was, everywhere he looked there were players who saw him as a traitor.

The good news was, he was famous now, his forum popularity rivaling that of Darkness Is Coming.

The bad news was, his infamy had spread far and wide; in the players' eyes he was the bastard who betrayed his own faction to complete a hidden quest, a target for everyone to punish.

"No, I have to get on the forum and explain, otherwise it's really over!"

Realizing the severity of the problem, Xiao Xiao Fa immediately summoned the forum interface, preparing to post an explanation to beg his fellow villagers' forgiveness.

Before long, a post appeared on the forum.

【I am Xiao Xiao Fa. I accidentally achieved the epic-tier feat of becoming a public enemy of everyone. I'm panicking like crazy right now, coming to the forum to kowtow and admit my wrongs.】

Poster: Xiao Xiao Fa.

Content:

Fellow villagers, I was wrong (Explorer begging for mercy. jpg).

I really didn't mean to kill you all; this whole thing is a misunderstanding.

I, Xiao Xiao Fa, am absolutely not a traitor, and I would never do something so unconscionable for some hidden quest reward.

Allow me to explain the cause of all this in detail.

The cause was five days ago. At that time I learned through the forum that the Small World instance had opened, so I thought about heading to Fu Ben Shi Jie to get rich.

What if I got lucky and triggered a hidden quest? I figured I could make a fortune.

And then... and then I really did trigger a hidden quest. What's even more outrageous is that this hidden quest wasn't triggered inside the Small World instance, but during the teleportation process.

After analyzing, I believe this hidden quest randomly selects players during the teleportation process.

And I was lucky enough to win the draw.

From there, I started the AFK-mode villain experience; throughout, it was all the villain playing on my behalf, I didn't do anything.

The slaughter of players was all done by the villain, it has nothing whatsoever to do with me (Explorer battered and bruised. jpg).

To prove it, I'm posting a video as evidence here.

The logs of the slaughtered players' name lists are all recorded. I'm willing to put up my earnings as compensation, hoping my fellow villagers can spare me once. I really was wrong.

(Video compilation. jpg).

Comment section:

Dog Head Strategist: Bro, how does this video prove you weren't deliberately killing fellow villagers to complete the quest? The early part of the video does show the memory sac transplant process from the guide's perspective, but during the subsequent slaughter of fellow villagers, all you can see is you doing the slaughtering. The video doesn't show your inner thoughts, so the question now is you have to prove whether at the time you had the deliberate intent to massacre fellow villagers, but the fact is you simply can't prove it.

She Speaks With A Childlike Air: You cur, give me your life! Do you know how devastated I am because of you? If apologies worked, what would we need the Black Room for!

Explorer: Not gonna lie bro, if you're gonna apologize then apologize, why post pictures of yourself kneeling and begging for mercy? Using my meme to beg for mercy — what's that supposed to mean? Newbies see it and think the traitor everyone's talking about on the forum is me. You've got no sincerity at all... I recommend the death penalty, carried out immediately.

Light Sky One Dream: How about you take out a hundred thousand Shou Shou Jili and compensate everyone one by one? Actually, it's not that big a deal. The content at the beginning of the video does prove you became a villain unknowingly. Looking at it from a benevolent perspective, I think you truly acted without intent. I had already contacted my buddies and was just waiting for you to return to the village, but after watching the video, I've forgiven you.

……

The post Xiao Xiao Fa published saw its popularity on the forum skyrocket.

Every player who read this post had different thoughts.

Some players felt he could be forgiven. Although it couldn't be proven whether Xiao Xiao Fa acted intentionally or unintentionally, at least Xiao Xiao Fa was willing to put up his earnings as compensation.

This act was enough to prove Xiao Xiao Fa's sincerity.

Meanwhile another portion of players believed Xiao Xiao Fa must have done it on purpose, and could not be forgiven.

Browsing the forum replies, Xiao Xiao Fa decisively seized on the group willing to forgive him, then posted his earnings log data to prove how much he had earned, stating he was willing to hand it all over as compensation.

He also stated that going forward he was willing, in the capacity of the Blood King, to fully cooperate with his faction's players' actions, providing intelligence assistance in all aspects.

Especially intelligence on resource deployment, contributing to his fellow villagers' prosperity.

Xiao Xiao Fa's sincere attitude made more players willing to believe that his earlier slaughter of players was entirely unintentional.

Seeing the forum opinion begin to tilt in his favor, a relieved smile appeared on Xiao Xiao Fa's face.

He closed the forum and looked around.

At this moment he was soaking in a blood-colored pool, the edges of the pool lined with alien blood slaves bound in iron chains.

This made him suddenly realize that he seemed to be able to continue raking in profits through his identity as a villainous boss.

His analysis swept toward the blood pool beneath him, and instantly the relevant information surfaced in his mind.

【Qi-Blood Energy (Low Purity)】:

Analysis Description: Qi-Blood energy refined by the Blood Pool Super Beast Legion (with relatively many impurities), usable for recovering injuries, boosting strength, or sacrificing to Beneath Di Zhao.

"Good stuff."

He did not rush to act, his gaze glancing toward the other side.

Three War Priests were busy atop the End Beast, repairing its damaged body.

Going straight for the money at this moment was clearly inappropriate.

In the days to come, he still had to use the Blood King's identity to seek benefits for his side's players, so he had to keep a low profile.

Turning his head to look, a War Priest of the Soul Pool Legion held a transparent bottle in hand.

Judging by the bottle's design, it should be a premium-grade potion from Shangcheng.

It looked like some tank-build fellow player had been killed before drinking the potion, and the premium-grade potion had fallen into the Lingxi Race's hands.

The Shangcheng selling price of this one bottle was 800 points — a truly grievous loss.

Anyone who wasn't a top-tier tank-build player wouldn't dare use this kind of potion; there had to be a powerful guild providing subsidies.

It was probably a potion carried and used by a player from the Divine Hall Guild.

Watching the withering-attribute spirit-runes on the End Beast's body surface dissipating, Xiao Xiao Fa tore open the nearly transparent blood cocoon, his expression instantly turning cold, switching into the Blood King's usual state in a single second.

Although he was not the Blood King, no one understood the Blood King better than he did.

The three War Priests of the Soul Pool Legion all turned their heads to look at him, expressions of pleasant surprise on their faces.

"Blood King."

Xiao Xiao Fa nodded coldly and asked in a deep voice:

"How is the End Beast?"

"This is a potion seized from the invading forces; half a bottle was used on your injury recovery, and the other half was given to the End Beast. The End Beast has now also entered a positive cycle of injury recovery — it only needs to absorb enough life energy to recover."

Xiao Xiao Fa nodded coldly:

"What's the situation outside now?"

Facing the inquiry, the War Priest of the Soul Pool Legion faithfully explained the upcoming war deployments of the seven Wang Zuo.

Among them was the deployment of the Fungus King and the Bone King leading their legions to prepare to hold up in the spatial passage.

Upon learning all this, Xiao Xiao Fa decisively made a post, publishing everything the War Priest had described on the forum.

Since he'd decided to be a mole, he would see it through to the end.

This was both seeking benefits for his side's players and atoning for the karma of his previous boosting-for-others.

After the War Priest finished speaking, Xiao Xiao Fa told them to continue repairing the End Beast, while he himself left the blood pool area and arrived before the great doors of the Blood Pool Legion's resource chamber.

Two guards holding alarm devices stood before the great doors.

Seeing it was the Blood King, two warriors of the Blood Pool Legion immediately dropped to one knee:

"Wang Zuo."

"Open the door."

The two guards did not hesitate in the slightest; after rising, they pushed open the heavy black-stone great doors together with force.

What hit his face was a breath mingled with the scent of blood and grass-wood.

The instant Xiao Xiao Fa's boot sole stepped into the room, the ground rippled with a circle of dark red; the floor of the entire resource chamber was paved from solidified blood crystal, every inch flowing with refined life essence.

Once the great doors closed, the greed in Xiao Xiao Fa's eyes flooded like water bursting through a breached dike.

"What a fine place!"

Walking along the way, Xiao Xiao Fa's heart bloomed with joy.

In the left-side niches floated dozens of energy cores plundered from the Baseterra world, shaped like hearts, slowly pulsing, their surfaces wrapped in qi-blood chains of different colors — some glowing forest emerald-green, some glaring molten-lava red.

"Mine now."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Xiao Fa decisively packed them into his spatial pack.

Continuing forward, on the right side were stacked over a hundred amber coffins, each coffin preserving living genetic samples of different races.

"Also mine."

The price of this stuff might not be worth much sacrificed to Beneath Di Zhao, but he knew the Alchemist Guild would definitely be willing to buy at a high price.

The potential value was absolutely not low.

Walking all the way, wealth was everywhere.

A gear-sun model from some steampunk world hung on the wall, still continuously operating.

A set of what looked like children's doodles was framed in crystal; analysis revealed it to be some kind of evil prop that could bewitch spiritual will.

A collective consciousness of some technological civilization had been compressed into a blue orb of light, emitting a silent distress pulse every ten seconds….

Soon the spatial pack was filled.

He decisively spent all his savings to buy spatial slots and continued packing.

Before long, the spatial pack was filled again.

Just as he was thinking of sacrificing the items of actual value in his spatial pack to Beneath Di Zhao and continuing to pack wealth into his spatial pack, he suddenly thought of something.

If he could sacrifice all the wealth in the warehouse to his side's players, the mistakes he had made while idle-boosting would surely be wiped clean, and then he would not be a traitor, but a hero!

Money or reputation — Xiao Xiao Fa fell into a struggle of thought.

"You have to be alive to spend the money."

Even though reluctant in his heart, Xiao Xiao Fa still decided to gift the remaining warehouse resources to his side's players.

But before giving the resources, he still decided to keep a small portion of the best for himself.

Especially those items with no practical value but high potential value.

He didn't even plan to let go of the blood crystals embedded in the floor—too many impurities, not worth much for sacrificing to Beneath Di Zhao, but they could be sold to the "Kindergarten Teacher," the boss of the kindergarten group.

His Darkkin Legion would surely need them.

This was another considerable gain.

After sacrificing part of the items and refilling the spatial pouch, Xiao Xiao Fa decided to stop here.

By initial count, he had roughly over 1.5 million goods in hand.

He'd truly gotten rich overnight off the hidden quest.

Thinking of the scene of himself happily spending Shou Shou Jili back home, his heart felt sweet.

The crisis could be considered passed.

Surveying the resource warehouse, he decided to give all the remaining wealth to his fellow players—1.5 million-plus Shou Shou Jili in hand was enough, couldn't be too greedy.

Next came the construction of the spatial teleportation array.

Although he had the Blood King's memories, the Blood King was completely clueless about spatial studies.

This aspect still required seeking help from war priests specifically responsible for spatial construction.

Coincidentally, the Soul King had dispatched three war priests to assist him.

Leaving the resource chamber, Xiao Xiao Fa arrived at the Blood Pool dungeon and explained to the Soul King's subordinate war priests his idea of building a spatial passage.

Upon learning all this, the war priests appeared quite puzzled and immediately asked for the reason.

Drawing on the Blood King's memories, Xiao Xiao Fa gave no reason at all, responding in a cold tone:

"This plan is temporarily classified. You don't need to know."

"Then do you plan to use the spatial teleportation alone, or together with the legion warriors? Do you need to bring the End Beast?"

Facing the question, Xiao Xiao Fa said in a low voice:

"You don't understand what I'm saying."

"This relates to the size of the spatial passage. I need you to give me detailed information so I can build a spatial passage that fits your needs and avoid wasting resources."

"Only me and the End Beast will use it. The rest you don't need to know."

The war priests didn't insist. After repairing the End Beast, they took energy crystals from the resource warehouse as Xiao Xiao Fa requested and began constructing the spatial teleportation passage.

Once arrangements were settled, Xiao Xiao Fa made his plan public on the forum.

【Shocking! A villain boss from a certain Spirit Breath world is actually using his entire fortune to atone for the mistakes he (boosted) committed.】

Brothers, posting again to beg forgiveness.

I know many friends still haven't forgiven me, so this time I'm going all out—planning to cut short the hidden storyline early and steal all the resources from the Blood Pool Legion to give to everyone.

Here's the plan: I'm preparing to build a spatial teleportation passage at the garrison…

Now the spatial passage is gradually being completed with the war priests' help.

The teleportation location I've chosen is here (map red circle. jpg).

This city has long fallen to ruin; the Super Beast Legion won't station any forces here—absolutely safe.

Two days from now, I'll descend bearing the Blood Pool Super Beast Legion's resources. Every brother who comes will get a share—how much you take depends on your own ability.

That's sincere enough, right? I'm really not a traitor, brothers, trust me (kneeling apology. jpg).

……

After posting, the number of replies grew at an astonishing speed.

Scrolling through the players' enthusiastic replies, Xiao Xiao Fa's heart felt sweet.

After this post went up, his reputation on the forum completely reversed, and his follower count skyrocketed along with it.

Now he just needed to wait for the war priests to finish building the spatial teleportation array.

On this departure, he planned to pack everything he could bring, including the End Beast, and take it all home.

He had no intention of coming back.

The hidden storyline might still have many unknown gains ahead, but he didn't plan to continue.

The original death trap had been broken open by him.

Now he had both fame and fortune, and he was about to ascend into the ranks of top players.

Envisioning the future, Xiao Xiao Fa couldn't help but clench his fist in excitement.

Time passed in waiting.

Three days later.

The spatial teleportation array was completed beside the Blood Pool.

To be safe, Xiao Xiao Fa sent back the three war priests the Soul King had assigned, to avoid leaving them nearby and having them discover anything amiss.

Once the war priests departed, Xiao Xiao Fa completely dropped the act.

He immediately ordered the garrison guards to move all the wealth from the resource warehouse onto the spatial teleportation array.

The garrison's Super Beast warriors had no suspicion at all; faced with the "Blood King's" demand, they chose to execute it without hesitation.

Soon, the teleportation array was piled high with all manner of spiritual resources.

Forming a small mountain radiating light.

These spiritual resources were all treasures the Blood Pool Legion had plundered across worlds, now piled together in disarray, colliding with one another and producing strange energy resonances.

Foundation Stones and Blood Marrow Crystals pressed against each other, sending off sparks and shards of light; creatures within the amber blood gel stirred and roamed; several weapons legendary in the eyes of small-world beings were placed atop the resource pile, their edges still bearing the battle intent their former masters had sealed into them… the entire resource pile emanated chaotic spiritual pressure, as energies of various attributes tore at each other within the cramped space.

Spiritual forces from different worlds repelled one another.

After driving all the guards away, Xiao Xiao Fa arrived before the great door of the Blood Pool dungeon and sealed it shut completely.

Before leaving, he did not forget the Blood Pool.

To repair the End Beast, the Blood Pool's energy had already been drained by more than half; he sacrificed the remaining Blood Pool energy, along with everything else, to Beneath Di Zhao.

He did not spare the blood slaves imprisoned beside the Blood Pool either.

"I'm liberating you!"

With those words, the Xiao Xiao Fa who had entered the Blood Pool merged with the End Beast and began the slaughter.

Challenge prompts kept ringing in his ears, making Xiao Xiao Fa intoxicated by them.

During this time, he suddenly thought of a question.

He then summoned the interface, brought forth the Guidance Water Sphere that had been blocked from display again, and asked curiously:

"Guidance, if I die, will the Memory Sac continue to exist?"

Facing the question, the Guidance half-opened its eyelids:

【No. The Memory Sac does not belong to the player system; it will not be reshaped at the respawn point after death.】

"Then if I die, will the Blood King's memories inside the Memory Sac still remain?"

【No either. The Blood King's Memory Sac is currently in a state of connection with your body; without the Memory Sac, the connected memories will also be lost.】

【To explain simply: the Blood King's Memory Sac is like an external hard drive, and your consciousness is the computer host. When the hard drive (Memory Sac) is plugged into the host, you can access the files (Blood King's memories) inside at any time. But when the host reboots and the external hard drive disappears, you naturally cannot access the files inside anymore.】

The Guidance's answer was very straightforward, and Xiao Xiao Fa understood instantly.

Regarding this, he felt very regretful.

The Blood King's memories contained a vast amount of knowledge; if he could browse and check them at any time, it would undoubtedly be a hidden fortune.

But in comparison, he cared more about the End Beast.

This war weapon capable of devouring genes to evolve—if it could be kept, it would be the greatest fortune of this hidden quest.

If he couldn't take it away, he planned to teleport over and team up with his fellow villagers to kill it.

So he asked the Guidance again whether the End Beast could be brought back to Di Zhao Village.

Facing the question, the Guidance raised an eyelid:

【The prerequisite for bringing it back to Di Zhao Village is that nothing goes wrong during the space teleportation. If you use the space teleportation array you came on, there is a high probability it will be lost during the teleportation, including a high probability that you will die.】

The Guidance's answer made Xiao Xiao Fa pause.

He then realized that returning home required passing through the teleportation array, and the death probability of this array exceeded 50%.

This made him extremely regretful.

Just as Xiao Xiao Fa was preparing to give up, planning to kill the Memory Sac and the End Beast after teleporting over and package them into Shou Shou Jili to bring back—

the Guidance spoke again:

【But perhaps it can be crafted into a pseudo-rule item, that is, a special Painful Painful Minghun. The prerequisite is that you must pay a sum of Shou Shou Jili.】

"Can this thing be crafted into a special Painful Painful Minghun?"

【The End Beast is primarily made from the derivative matter of the fundamental laws of the Spirit Breath World, so of course it can be crafted into a special Painful Painful Minghun. However, the End Beast's body also incorporates a large amount of flesh and blood essence, as well as gene fragments from various creatures, so the crafting cost will be quite Gao Ang, since there are too many substances that need purification and washing.】

"How much?"

【970,000 Shou Shou Jili.】

Hearing the price, Xiao Xiao Fa immediately felt extremely heartache.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after teleporting over first."

With a thought, Xiao Xiao Fa instantly had the Memory Sac inside his body thrust out neural tentacles to connect with the End Beast, controlling it to move to the teleportation array piled with various spiritual resources and stand still.

A crack split open in his chest, extending a tentacle to connect with the space crystal floating above the array formation.

The crystal suddenly lit up, like a star being ignited, bursting forth with blinding blood-red light.

Fine energy patterns spread out from the bottom of the crystal, crawling over the entire teleportation array like living creatures.

The dim stone-carved grooves woke up one after another, steaming up clouds of heat waves, while the runes branded on the ground transformed into energy symbols floating and leaping in the air.

Suddenly, a dark-red pillar of light shot skyward, completely swallowing the End Beast and the pile of resources.

Xiao Xiao Fa's vision was enveloped by the light; he could vaguely see the space within the light pillar twisting and folding, countless shattered mirror surfaces assembling in front, outlining a channel extending forward, as a powerful suction force attacked.

An invisible force dragged him into the space channel.

"Going home!"

But very soon, Xiao Xiao Fa noticed something was wrong.

The spiritual resources that were teleported along with him began to exhibit a chain reaction under the environment of the space channel.

Different types of spirit liquid started repelling each other first; the originally calm liquid churned violently during the teleportation, bursting forth with blinding light.

Immediately after, energy collisions appeared between the spirit crystals, attracting each other yet mutually resisting, emitting sharp energy resonance.

Other spiritual materials were no exception.

The ethereal aura dissipating in the space channel acted like a catalyst, completely breaking the fragile balance between all the spiritual resources.

The entire teleportation channel instantly became a boiling spiritual energy hell, with energies of various attributes colliding fiercely.

Xiao Xiao Fa's heart jumped; realizing the situation was dire, he controlled the End Beast to release blood qi energy, attempting to stabilize the various spiritual materials.

But under the environment of the space channel, the blood qi he released could not effectively control the situation at all.

As the repulsion reactions between the resources grew more intense, the structure within the space channel also became chaotic, appearing with fine space cracks that continuously devoured the surrounding energy.

"Oh my god, I'm afraid I'm going to die on the way."

The sudden change made Xiao Xiao Fa's face pale.

This was the fortune promised to his fellow villagers; now the fellow villagers had gathered at the coordinates he provided.

If he messed things up, he would have no way to defend himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the space channel shattering kept ringing in his ears, interspersed with the dense explosive sounds produced by the mutual repulsion of the spiritual resources.

The trend of the spatial channel shattering grew faster and faster.

Just as Xiao Xiao Fa thought all hope was lost, a curtain of light suddenly appeared at the end of the channel.

The exit of the teleportation array was now right before his eyes.

"Hahaha, those who survive a great disaster are sure to have good fortune ahead."

At this moment, outside the teleportation array, thousands of players gathered near the spatial teleportation channel, looking up at it with eager anticipation.

Having learned that Xiao Xiao Fa was about to distribute benefits, they had rushed here with their families.

But reaching this place was not easy.

First, during the teleportation process, the majority of players perished prematurely.

Those who successfully descended into the Lingxi World had to face the blockade and pursuit of the Bone Pool Legion and the Fungus Pool Legion, which were lying in wait at the spatial entrance.

To reach this place, the process was a matter of life and death.

Fortunately, they had succeeded; now they only needed to wait for Xiao Xiao Fa to arrive with wealth.

Just then, brilliant light erupted from within the spatial channel.

"It's here, it's here, brothers, get ready to grab resources; I've already prepared my sacks."

"Let me take it first; do you know how much I paid to get here? It was too terrible; I at least need to break even, right?"

"So cool, finally able to get rich; I don't ask for much, just two thousand Shou Shou Jili would be enough."

"Hahaha, thanks to Xiao Xiao Fa for bringing the benefit time."

The nearby players rubbed their fists, all looking incredibly excited.

Finally, under the expectant gaze of the players, the massive silhouette of the End Beast emerged from the spatial channel.

At this moment, inside the spatial channel.

Seeing the exit was within reach, Xiao Xiao Fa was also incredibly excited and shouted out to the outside world in advance:

"Brothers, benefit time is here!"

Realizing their own brothers had arrived, the players outside rushed forward, preparing to divide the wealth.

But just then, a giant Wang Zu heart within the pile of resources suddenly burst under spatial compression; the abundant life force it contained turned into a crimson torrent, producing a terrifying resonance with the Erosion World Insect genes.

The energy balance within the channel was thus completely shattered; spiritual energies of various attributes clashed and exploded against each other like boiling oil meeting water.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like brilliant fireworks blooming, the torrent of life, the torrent of elements, the genetic virus... all kinds of matter gushed out from the end of the teleportation channel in a rush.

The exit instantly erupted with a light more dazzling than the sun.

Swept by various torrents, Xiao Xiao Fa felt excruciating pain all over his body, but fortunately, protected by the End Beast, he was not yet dead.

Looking up ahead, the scene before his eyes left him stunned.

The dozens of players who charged in first did not even have time to scream before they vaporized in the blinding Bai Guang.

Immediately after, shockwaves carrying various spiritual fragments shot forth like bullets; a player had just raised his hand when he was pierced through the chest by a flying Blood Marrow Crystal, his entire body exploding into a mist of blood filling the sky.

Xiao Xiao Fa stood dazed inside the End Beast, receiving feedback from the neural tendrils as thousands of life signals went out simultaneously.

Through the End Beast's eyes, he also saw a warrior blown away by the shockwave, colliding with the second wave of explosive turbulence in mid-air and instantly disintegrating.

His gaze swept to the end where the shockwave had swept, where a female player with a sweet smile held a banner high, on which a line of text was printed:

【Thanks to the God of Spells for sending warmth!】

As the shockwave swept over, the banner fragments, mixed with chunks of flesh and blood, melted away in the embers of the explosion.

"This... this... it's over."

Xiao Xiao Fa was completely dumbfounded.

After the torrent of matter dissipated over several seconds, the End Beast controlled by Xiao Xiao Fa also suffered considerable damage, its surface already carbonized.

But he did not care about the End Beast; his gaze swept the scene.

The benefit collection point, which had been bustling just seconds ago, had now turned into a deadly battlefield; not a single player could be seen.

"Xiao Xiao Fa, you are so ruthless..."

Just then, a weak, breathless cry came.

Turning his head to look, he saw a Stone Statue Flow player with a mutilated body pointing a trembling finger at him, his eyes filled with grief and indignation.

After speaking, the finger suddenly dropped lifelessly, and his body dissipated into black mist.

The End Beast controlled by Xiao Xiao Fa "plop" knelt on the ground, wanting to cry but having no tears:

"It's over, completely over."
