Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1023 Saint and Demon: Hatred

Gray sky.

The pale sun's rays couldn't penetrate the clouds at all, making it impossible to even determine its position. The only clue was the hazy gray-white light, indicating that it was "daytime."

Black is the dominant color of the wilderness. In the distance, you can see undulating mountains, withered but lush forests, and black river water.

There was no one around.

I could smell a faint earthy odor in my nostrils, which seemed to be mixed with some kind of putrid smell.

"Is this the Holy Demon: The World of Hatred?"

Bai Pu and the two witches, having just arrived in this world of evolved beings, looked around curiously.

"Where are the people from the Wandering Ark?" Wu Qingyun asked in the team chat.

There were only the three of them in the wilderness.

"The Wandering Ark team has items linked to us, so we will definitely be matched into the world of Saint Demon: Hatred in the same period, and the distance will not be too far."

Bai Pu said, “Let’s get to know each other first… You should all have the same identity information and memories that came with your tickets, just like me. The identity I was matched with is that of an adventurer from ‘Zatuk City,’ a bachelor with no ties… I chose my own name, Dio Fu Lei.”

Wu Mingyue also finished receiving the identity information: "Qingyun and I are both adventurers, sisters...tch."

She seemed a little unhappy.

"Haha, super seniority, I like it." Wu Qingyun was quite happy, but immediately received a flick on the head from Wu Mingyue.

To conform to the naming style of this world, Wu Mingyue chose the name "Gardenias," while Wu Qingyun's name remained "Charlotte."

These names were chosen when using the Spirit Realm Tickets for entry. Gaia's will also simultaneously corrected the memories of the natives, letting the natives of "Zatuk City" know that there were adventurers with these three names.

At this moment, all three were under the illusion provided by the spirit realm's will, dressed in the tattered attire of adventurers, and had temporarily mastered the local common language. Of course, this step was not free; the three of them received a total of 36 spirit crystals.

Bai Pu reached into his waistband and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.

[Zatuk City Good Citizen Certificate: Dio Fulei's identity document in Zatuk City, which can save him a lot of trouble.]

This was also included with the D-level ticket, a form of identification... Bai Pu carefully put it away. Of course, both the Great and Small Witches had similar identification documents.

Soon, a notification came from the will of the spirit world.

Welcome to the world of Saints and Demons: The Dimension of Hatred. The following is a brief introduction to this world.

[World: Holy Demon: Hatred]

[Intensity: 13.8]

[Time: Year 746 of the Age of Hatred]

[Location: Sanctuary - Southern Suburbs of Zatuk City]

[Synopsis: In a world ruled by a demon king, humanity struggles to survive in a sanctuary. You can take up arms to drive away the demons and protect humanity's last flickering flame; or become a servant of the demons and extinguish the final light.]

[Note: Based on your ticket, you have 3 days of free exploration time. Please try to trigger the main quest within 3 days to gain more time.]

"I like this kind of introduction."

Wu Qingyun was very excited to be back in the spirit world. The introduction to this world was very clear at a glance.

"Let's go, let's go to our lodging in Zatuk City first."

The three walked a few steps when suddenly Wu Mingyue frowned: "There's a stench... the stench of a corpse." They quickly crossed the hill ahead, and all three of them shuddered.

Below the hill stood a V-shaped wooden pillar. An adventurer, his hands bound to the pillar, was surrounded by a swarm of flies.

A strong stench of corpses emanated from the adventurer.

Upon closer inspection, it was even more horrifying.

The adventurer was bound here, his chest and abdomen cut open by sharp blades, his internal organs completely devoured.

The most horrifying thing was the face; the entire skin had been peeled off, revealing dark red muscle tissue and intact gums. The two eyes had also been gouged out, resembling two deep, dark holes.

"The bloodstains had dried, the body was infested with maggots, and it had been dead for a long time."

Bai Pu flicked out a wisp of flame, igniting the wooden pillar.

Bai Pu's first-tier magic is suppressed in the world of evolved beings. In addition, his source of magic power has not been unsealed, and his magic power strength is only at the first-tier level. It is definitely not enough to fight enemies. It can only be used as a trick to start a fire at home or when traveling.

The flames burned ever brighter, eventually engulfing the adventurers' remains.

With a thud, a bronze plaque fell to the ground. All three had excellent eyesight and could make out the faint writing on the plaque.

Wu Mingyue picked up the bronze plaque and began to decipher the inscription on it.

This is a survival guide for adventurers.

"First, try not to go out after dark."

Second, if you hear someone calling your name, do not turn around.

"Third, avoid eye contact with others, whether they are acquaintances or strangers."

These three simple lines of text are somewhat unsettling to read.

“It’s a bit like some kind of supernatural rule,” Bai Pu said. “But I think these three clues are more like corresponding to three different demons.”

"Eek." Wu Qingyun buried her head in Bai Pu's arms and took the opportunity to rub against him. "I'm starting to dislike this world."

Wu Mingyue looked up, somewhat irritated, and said, "The sun here is not clearly visible, so we can't tell the time... How much longer until dark? We need to get back to Zhatuq City before it gets dark."

Bai Pu slowly said, "Two hours and thirty-five minutes have passed since we came into this world. The perceived temperature has dropped by about 2.3 degrees Celsius, which means it is currently afternoon... The temperature is dropping at an accelerating rate, and dusk is not far away."

"The first rule, 'Don't go out after dark,' does that mean that terrifying demons will appear after dark?" Wu Qingyun asked.

"The first point uses the word 'try to'. I thought of two possibilities. First, the demons' combat power will increase after dark; second, some more troublesome demons will appear after dark, as they are nocturnal. However, no matter how terrifying they are, strength will prevail. I don't believe that the monsters in a 13.8-level plane world are strong enough that I can't handle them."

Bai Pu's words instantly gave Xiao Wu courage.

After all, Little Witch had actually fought in the Tower of Babel and killed a level 13 leader. The information also clearly states that the vast majority of the native inhabitants of the world of Saints of Hatred are between level 11 and 13.

“We are currently in the southern suburbs of Zatuk City… The problem is, how do we determine our direction in a place like this?” Wu Mingyue searched around but couldn’t find any landmarks to guide her.

"We walked along the river, downstream."

“I understand that cities should be situated along rivers. But why is Zatuk City located downstream?” Wu Mingyue asked.

“Because this river is very clean, and there’s no garbage floating down it,” Bai Pu offered his assessment. “If we could encounter some kind-hearted devils along the way who could provide us with intelligence, that would be even better.”
