Ten minutes ago, within Treasure Land No. 8564.
“Go, kill them all!”
It was still the familiar opening line from the celestial god. After experiencing the time flow eighteen times, the celestial god remained oblivious to the situation he was facing. However, unlike the celestial god, Wen Yu, who was standing beside him at that moment, slowly squinted his eyes.
During the previous time flows, Wen Yu had not noticed any abnormalities, but this eighteenth time was different from the past ones.
This time, Fran had brought the timeline back several days and connected different timelines, pulling the remnants of Wen Yu's time into the treasure land.
Ordinary people—such as the celestial god and those heaven's chosen level soul puppets—naturally could not detect such subtle changes, but Wen Yu was indeed different from them.
Of course, Wen Yu at this moment only had a vague guess about what was happening here, so he looked back.
He saw that the originally open spatial rift behind him remained the same, and Bai was still standing behind the two of them. However, inexplicably, Wen Yu developed a sense of foreboding...
'That is fake...'
Indeed, that was fake; it was just a time remnant created by Fran. If the two of them were to leave Treasure Land No. 8564 now, they would discover the entire sequence of events—of course, the premise was that Fran was willing to let everyone leave.
In the distance, led by Aogules, the heaven's chosen level soul puppets launched a "devastating" attack on the town again. As the town was destroyed, Aogules "once again" discovered the passage leading deep underground...
At this moment, Wen Yu couldn't help but ponder.
If everything followed the normal sequence, then what would the celestial god and he do now?
The answer was obvious—there was no way the celestial god would risk himself. After all, with six heaven's chosen level soul puppets at hand, the celestial god would never venture deep underground himself.
So...
“Let them wait for a moment!”
Just as Aogules shattered the silvery barrier, Wen Yu suddenly spoke up. Hearing this, the celestial god immediately gave "earth's will" this face...
“Stop!”
He first halted Aogules's attack, then turned his head to look at Wen Yu.
“What is it?”
“I sense that there is something unusual there; I think we should go together.”
This suggestion... made the celestial god hesitate...
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Without knowing whether Wen Yu was in this treasure land, the celestial god was certainly unwilling to leave the exit, or let Tang Haofei go too far...
However, his relationship with earth's will was indeed quite good... But just because it was good, it didn’t mean he would endanger himself for it, right?
The celestial god only thought for a moment before rejecting Wen Yu's proposal.
“No way!”
The celestial god's response did not surprise Wen Yu; he just stroked his chin until the celestial god grew impatient, and then Wen Yu spoke again.
“Then how about this? You stay here, and I'll go take a look.”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, the celestial god glanced at Wen Yu, and after a moment, a faint smile-like expression appeared on the iron mask on his face.
“If you want to go, I won't stop you... but...”
“Then it's settled!”
Wen Yu interrupted before the celestial god could finish, making a unilateral decision, causing the celestial god's remaining words to get stuck in his throat.
...
It was only after Wen Yu arrived that the six Aogules were once again given the celestial god's orders.
“Follow him, protect him, and everything will be led by him.”
This bit of face, the celestial god still had to give, especially since there were dozens of heaven's chosen level soul puppets under his command; six was just a drop in the bucket.
In comparison, the identity of the spirit of the demon lord was somewhat more important—although the spirit of the demon lord's power was indeed much stronger than those heaven's chosen level soul puppets...
