Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 175 The Immortals
"Promise her."

Listening to the steady voice coming from the bottom of her heart, Zhou Mu stared at the beautiful woman in men's clothing who was blocking her way. She clasped her fists and said, "I wonder where you are from, young lady, and what is your name?"

"I'm Aya."

After the two introduced themselves to each other, Aya walked gently to Zhou Mi's side, as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time, and started chatting naturally.

Zhou Mu learned from Aya that the other party's father was the wealthy businessman mentioned by the local residents, and the reason they came here to hunt for treasure was to get rid of the gloomy aura on Aya.

"I've been weak since I was young, and my health has always been poor. A while ago, I had an accident and was accidentally hit by an evil spirit. Ever since then, this evil spirit has been haunting me."

Aya sighed slightly, a hint of helplessness and sadness in her beautiful eyes:
"I heard that this new treasure is a yang treasure with a strong power to ward off evil spirits. My father brought me here from afar, hoping to try his luck and maybe use this treasure to dispel the evil spirits in me."

"But we also know that we don't have the strength to fight for the Supreme Yang Treasure."

"So my father used some of his spare money to buy these houses here as a place for the heroes who come here to hunt for treasure to rest. It can be regarded as a convenience for everyone."

Aya continued in a calm and sincere tone:
"My father and I don't covet the Supreme Yang Treasure. We only hope that whoever ultimately obtains it will, for the convenience we've provided, show mercy and use it to dispel the evil spirit within me, allowing me to escape its torment."

Zhou Mu was skeptical about what Aya said.

Hermione listened thoughtfully to the mention of the "Treasure of the Sun" in the conversation.

However, she did not believe a word of what Aya said. With her insight, she realized that the so-called evil spirit she sensed from Aya was not an external evil thing at all, but a power belonging to Aya herself.

Moreover, that power is quite similar to the power possessed by the witches in the Eastern Continent.

In Hermione's opinion, this Aya is most likely the source substance corresponding to the "Witch" path, that is, the recipient of the "City of Disaster".

Heaven, Shaman, Hell, Penglai... Hermione pondered, but even for her, without any clues, it was difficult to determine which force the "City of Disaster" was related to.

It was for this reason that she decided to let Zhou Min stay and contact Aya, trying to find some clues from Aya.

It is not known whether Aya admires Zhou Mi's strength or covets her beauty. She did not set up a competition platform for Zhou Mi, but directly invited her to stay in her house.

It's getting late.

Zhou Mu, who lived in the courtyard, did not meet other martial arts masters who settled here, but she had the opportunity to meet Napoli Disli, who came to bring her dinner.

"Senior, how did you become like this, and even condescend to be someone else's maid?" After taking the food brought by Napolidisli, Zhou Mu asked the doubts in her heart.

"Because I can't beat her, I have to change my appearance and lurk beside her." Napolidisli's words revealed his fear of the rich lady.

"As for the change in appearance..."

As Napolidisli spoke, the skin on his face suddenly cracked into several tiny cracks, through which Tian Ruoyao's appearance was faintly revealed.

But this look disappeared in the blink of an eye as Napolidisli touched his face.

He chuckled at Zhou Mu and said, "Human Skin Technique is one of the sect's practical techniques. Haven't you learned it?"

Human skin technique uses human skin as a disguise and peels off other people's skin through special means to turn it into your own disguise.

Zhou Mu did not learn it, because the ability she obtained from receiving the ordination was very different from that of Napoleon. In the inheritance she received, she did not even know that there was such a magic in the sect.

Hermione knew a little about this. In the potion system, demons also had similar methods and could even transfer human skin to others to use to cover up their whereabouts.

"You killed and replaced that lady's maid..." Zhou Mu frowned.

Napolidisli stared at Zhou Mi and asked, "Why? Could it be that you are incapable of doing such a thing?"

Zhou Mu lowered her head and ate her meal in silence.

Napoli Disli let out a soft "Huh".

……

Abyss, Monastery of Night.

Napolidisli did not lie. He did not know the unique whereabouts of the "Abyss", but He who was temporarily staying in the Monastery of Night attracted another clone.

The "evil god" Fabuti, whose body was covered with gold, came to Hermione under His inspiration.

Under Napoleon's gaze, the body of the "divine evil" Fabuti, who looked like a golden mummy, disintegrated. In just a few seconds, it turned into a strange tree in the shape of a human and covered with sticky black liquid.

This tree-like thing is the final "divine evil" characteristic.

At the same time, the memories related to the uniqueness of the abyss that Fabuti had hidden in this "divine evil" clone before his death also flooded into Napolidisli's mind like a tide.

At this time, Hermione also truly confirmed that Napolidisli was the true body of Fabius after his rebirth, and not an evil clone.

Having revived his memories of the uniqueness of the Abyss, Napolidisli now felt more complete. He looked at Hermione with amusement and said slowly, "Guardians of Humanity, do you truly wish to pursue the Abyss?"

At this time, Amanesis and the mechanical body carrying Grisha's consciousness also emerged from the secret space.

"Goddess of the Night."

"Angel of Enlightenment."

Napolidisli's ability to discern their identities also meant that he had been keeping an eye on the real world and the Church of Mankind, and had access to deeper information. "Finally, we meet, fellow countryman," Napolidisli said, greeting Grisha with a meaningful tone, but his gaze eventually fell on Amanesis.

From His perspective, the "Lord of Dusk" of the previous era and the "Goddess of Night" of the new era are the people in charge of the current human church.

"I don't suggest you face the Abyss directly. I have a better suggestion." Napolidisli paused and said to Amanesis with a sincere look:
"I will continue to contain the 'Abyss'. In return, I am willing to seal the entire abyss at the cost of falling asleep, thereby isolating this planet from any contamination or disturbance from those beings in the starry sky."

Amanisis raised his head slightly and said with emotion, "As expected of the 'dark side of the universe' and the 'embodiment of evil', you know a lot."

Napolidisli smiled, then suddenly said with a deep gaze, "I know more than you think. For example, the true 'God'... because that being has been influencing me ever since I became the 'Demon King.'"

Napolidisli originally thought that by saying this, he would arouse the astonishment and curiosity of those before him, thus giving him some initiative in the transaction.

But what puzzled Him was that the people in front of Him did not show any change in emotion.

Because the relationship between "God" and "Shadow World" had long been known to Hermione, Amanesis also knew about it.

Grisha, in his mechanical cyborg state, also has difficulty showing any changes in his emotions.

Seeing that the prepared revelations failed to achieve the desired results, Napolidisli was not discouraged. He was the first to walk out of the Monastery of Night, and endless evil thoughts gathered around him.

Those evil thoughts are not only the evil thoughts in the hearts of intelligent species in the current real world, but also the records and presentations of all the "evil" since the birth of various races on Earth.

Napolidisli's form now twisted into an illusory, viscous black liquid. His voice echoed throughout the place: "Since that's the case, then face the 'Abyss' and see what you've been guarding..."

The abyss is the uniqueness of the "abyss", and the only one who has the ability to reveal this existence is Napoleon Disili, who has fully obtained Fabius's memory.

Facing the uniqueness of the "Abyss" revealed before her, Hermione saw at that moment all the "evil deeds" that had ever occurred on Earth and all the "evil thoughts" that had ever been thought.

What she saw in the ocean of collective consciousness and heard in the abyss was just the tip of the iceberg of these "evil".

The infusion of this amount of information can instantly break through the mental defenses of any being. Even angels may fall and lose control in an instant under this impact.

Hermione wasn't greatly affected, but the evil thoughts and deeds in this information stream made her slightly dazed.

people.

Pure human race is fine too.

Or "people" in a broad sense, including giants, vampires, elves, and alien species.

It's just as Napoleon Borealis said, when the body is removed, the ugly soul is of no use.

There are noble pursuits and the brilliance of human nature.

But these are like stars and the night sky compared to the dark side of human nature.

And all the darkness of human nature is inseparable from——

Thoughts and actions that exploit others.

Even Hermione, who wants to use class to maintain the motivation for human survival, has to admit that the existence of class is a manifestation of the concept of exploitation.

Under the current constantly improving social productivity and abundant material conditions, the gap between hard work and laziness is no longer that big.

What widens the gap between people to the point where the concept of "class" is born is ultimately the exploitation of man by man.

This kind of exploitation can be active or passive.

“Human nature is inherently unsatisfied.”

"As the threshold for happiness continues to rise, the neural response to traditional achievements will inevitably decrease significantly. This is the 'basic setting' of the human species."

"The pursuit of higher goals and more intense feedback is not an unattainable 'ideal' that may even cause suffering."

"It's the pleasure of 'exploiting' the different or the same that is easier to accomplish."

Napolidisli's figure had transformed into deep darkness and disappeared without a trace.

But Napoli Disli's voice is everywhere:

"Perhaps, you will be complacent about the current order you have established."

"But ah..."

"The act of exploitation includes us..."

"In this world, only gods can live forever."

"But eternal life is the greatest exploitation, because eternal life is the privilege we get after seizing the most resources in this world."

"I have never denied my evil deeds, yet you call yourselves 'guardians'..."

"Can you, in your current state, truly gaze directly into the 'Abyss' without being affected mentally?"

"So... agreeing to the deal I just made was your best option."
