Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

"Boom! Boom!~"

In the void, thunder and blood energies clashed once more.

The entire little world has been completely changed.

The only intact place is a safe zone designated by the system.

Just as the last piece of blue sky above Chu Yang's head was about to be swallowed by the void, a voice appeared in Chu Yang's mind.

"Please...please stop!"

"I can abandon him and merge with your will!"

The moment Chu Yang sensed this consciousness, he knew it was the world's will responding to him.

At the same time, he also received a system notification:

[Warning! Warning! Once you merge with the will of the world, you will lose your identity as the Gatekeeper and be permanently imprisoned in this small world.]

This situation was truly beyond Chu Yang's expectations.

He originally only wanted to try to kill the person protected by the world's will, but he did not expect that the world's will was not only willing to break away from this artifact, but also wanted to merge with him.

Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea:

"Okay! Get off him now!"

Enveloped in blood and evil, Xuan Zheng's face was extremely pale.

After merging with the will of the world, the shattering of the small world also affected him.

Just when he thought he would perish together with Chu Yang today, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his brain.

Immediately afterwards, he felt the world before his eyes being split in two.

No! That's not right!

It's not the world that's been split in two!

It was his soul!

That will that had been entangled with him for hundreds of years was breaking away from the depths of his soul!

For centuries, he had dreamt of this happening more than once.

I long to break free from the constraints of my small world and regain my freedom!

But when that moment actually arrived, he regretted it!

"No! Don't! Don't leave me!"

Xuan Zheng wasn't reluctant to part with it; he was terrified.

Because he knew he was still alive because the world was keeping him alive!

He only realized this at the very moment death truly arrived.

Compared to freedom, he ultimately cared more about life.

Unfortunately, it was all too late!

The familiar lightning struck once again.

He was once again pierced by hundreds of lightning bolts.

This time, however, there was no power to protect him.

In the void, the blood demon dissipated.

In an instant, Xuan Zheng's body was cut into thousands of pieces, which were then scattered by the swirling tornadoes.

Xuan Zheng is dead!

"You...you really killed him?!"

The sound of rain and dew rang out again.

That day, she had witnessed far too many things that shocked her.

But when she witnessed Chu Yang kill someone who had merged with the will of a small world, she still found it hard to believe.

Suddenly, Yu Lu cried out urgently, "Quick! Get out of here! If he dies, this world will be destroyed! You will die too!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang asked in confusion, "Didn't you sense it just now?"

"Huh? What are you saying? Teleport out now!"

Rain and dew, whose five senses were connected to Chu Yang's, seemed unable to perceive the thoughts that the small world had just conveyed to him.

Chu Yang didn't explain anything, only saying, "Don't worry, I won't die. The mission is over. Goodbye..."

Chu Yang immediately severed his connection with Yu Lu's five senses.

Like the new "Soul Link" skill that the matchmaker learned, the ability of Rain and Dew to connect the five senses can be actively severed by the recipient.

"Please release your will and merge with me... otherwise, I will disappear..."

The consciousness of the small world reappeared in Chu Yang's mind.

Chu Yang smiled: "Okay, but... you won't be merging with me, you'll be merging with her!"

"Matchmaker, come down!"

Chu Yang's red wedding dress fell off, revealing a graceful figure wearing a red veil.

As a contracted spirit who is 100% loyal to Chu Yang, it is absolutely the most suitable for her to merge with the will of this world.

In any case, given Chu Yang's current strength, the matchmaker's ability to improve him is already quite limited.

And he will gain a small world!

A few minutes later, the world's will merged with the matchmaker's will.

Chu Yang asked, "Matchmaker, how's it going?"

The matchmaker paused for a moment before replying, "Master, I don't feel anything... just a little weak."

"Hmm? Could there be a problem with the fusion?"

"No, Master~ The reason why the matchmaker feels weak is because this small world is too badly damaged. Master, you don't need to worry, this world will repair itself automatically."

"How long will the repair take?"

"One hundred years..."

"?"

A hundred years?! What use would I have for this little world then?!

Chu Yang was speechless.

Just then, the system notification sound appeared again.

"You have been granted access to a small world. Some privileges have been unlocked ahead of schedule. You can now use Human Contribution Points within your personal space to repair, upgrade, and modify the small world..."

Chu Yang was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this: "Little Men, you're really getting better and better!"

Xiaomen: "..."

At the same time, the matchmaker, who had just merged with this small world, also demonstrated her ability to control this small world to Chu Yang.

Then, the matchmaker waved to the ravaged earth.

Nearly a thousand treasure chests that Chu Yang had not yet opened gathered and flew in from the void.

Chu Yang happily put all the items from the treasure chests into his backpack.

Because the adventure level was about to close, Chu Yang didn't have time to check the items before entering the safe zone.

Outside the small world, in the primordial spiritual abyss realm, lies the human race's underground river base.

The Lord of the Dark River, along with the core members of the Dark River, were all staring at a display screen.

The screen displays the relative coordinates of that small world and the primordial world.

With these coordinates, they can know the location of the small world and even teleport into it.

Originally, their purpose was to guard against future attacks on their human cities by the spirits within the smaller worlds, or even to send troops to conquer the smaller worlds and indirectly control them by imprisoning the spirits that had merged with the will of the smaller worlds.

Who would have thought that the person who pushed open the door would actually smash to pieces an existence that had merged with the will of a small world!

One of the Dark River members spoke up: "This small world is now ownerless. Should we send someone in to merge with the will of that world?"

Another member of the Dark River added, "Yes! We have to send people in, and we have to be quick, otherwise that mysterious Door-Pushing Organization might get there first."

The Lord of the Dark River shook his head and said, "You don't need to concern yourselves with the affairs of the small worlds."

His gaze was fixed on the coordinates of the miniature world on the display screen.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Compared to the small world, he was more curious about the origins of this mysterious door-pushing organization.

Such a powerful organization within a human race.

The fact that they couldn't trace the origin of the Dark River was quite interesting for the Lord of the Dark River.

Suddenly, the Lord of the Dark River frowned.

The mini-world coordinates on the screen have disappeared!
