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

"Brother Chu Yang? Brother Chu Yang! Are you alright?!"

Xiaocao put her straw hat back on, her veil covering her entire face, and then nervously looked at Chu Yang, whose face was deathly pale.

Chu Yang opened his eyes; the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Phew, I'm fine..."

Chu Yang glanced at his character panel and realized that the moment he stared into the soul's eyes, the survival effect of his relic, the [Substitute Doll], had been triggered!

He encountered another instant-death attack that he couldn't understand.

Fortunately, the relic's life-saving effect negated this death, otherwise...

Chu Yangguang felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about it.

He intended to check the source of the attack from the system prompts, but the system displayed that the difference in their cultivation levels was too great to identify the attack method.

[These gods' methods are truly incomprehensible. Even with my high health, I was instantly killed?! And it wasn't even the god himself who killed me, just a soul?!]

As for why Chu Yang knew that the soul inside Xiao Cao's body was a god, it's actually difficult to describe in words.

All Chu Yang knew was that the concept had been in his mind the moment the other person opened their eyes.

The opponent must be a Protoss!

Just like when he met that perfect god in the second-tier gate domain limit challenge.

Chu Yang calmed himself down and looked at Xiao Cao seriously, saying, "Your teacher is right, the secret inside your body must never be known to anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cao exclaimed in surprise, "You've seen her?!"

Chu Yang nodded.

Seeing that Brother Chu Yang already knew her secret, Xiao Cao hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell him about the origin of the divine soul within her.

"This happened three years after you left White Pagoda Academy. At that time, the Ninth Academy discovered a new secret realm... By the way, Brother Chu Yang, do you know what a secret realm is?"

Chu Yang shook his head.

Xiao Cao explained, "The secret realm and your small world are essentially the same; they are both fragments of other planes."

"According to my teacher, each plane can be seen as a bubble. If our primordial world is a big bubble, then these plane fragments are small bubbles."

"In general, large bubbles like these in the primordial world do not change position, but small bubbles will drift randomly."

"When a small bubble comes into contact with a large bubble, a channel is formed that allows them to travel back and forth."

"Generally speaking, if a shattered plane can exist stably and maintain stable contact with the primordial world, then the primordial energy within it must be stable and abundant."

"Such broken planes often contain rare and precious materials and blessed lands, which are of certain value for exploration. That is why they are called secret realms by the myriad races of the prehistoric world."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang suddenly asked, "You said the primordial world is like a large bubble, and the shattered planes are like small bubbles. So where do these bubbles exist?"

Little Grass said, "The teacher said that all planes exist in a place called 'Void,' which is a boundless, formless, and limitless primordial space."

"All planes of existence, including our primordial world, were born from the [Void]."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's thoughts began to wander.

If, as Teacher Xiaocao says, there truly exists a space called "Void," then could the universe in which Earth resides also be a bubble...?

Chu Yang didn't ask any more questions about [Void]. Just like the name [Void], discussing its existence was too vague and ethereal.

Even if such a space truly existed, it's not something Chu Yang should be considering right now.

So he let the little grass continue to tell the story of the origin of the soul within her.

Xiao Cao nodded and continued, "Generally speaking, the level of danger within a secret realm is related to its energy limit. The Ninth Academy has rated this secret realm, and it belongs to the lowest level, [Lower Dust Void Realm]."

"At that time, I had never been to a secret realm before. My teacher saw that this secret realm was not very dangerous, so he let me and my senior brothers and sisters go and experience it."

"Who would have thought that I was just picking up a small blue pebble that looked like a teardrop by a stream in the secret realm, and when I came out, there was an extra soul inside my body."

"From then on, my cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, and my spiritual power increased even faster. In the second year, I ascended to the Spirit Abyss Realm."

"My teacher saw that my cultivation level was improving too quickly and was worried that I would have problems, so he wanted to remove the soul from my body."

"But he tried for a long time and still couldn't remove or destroy the soul inside me while ensuring my safety."

"Later, he found me a cultivation technique that could suppress the speed of my cultivation advancement, but even so, I still ascended to the Xuanming Realm more than ten years later."

"Just as I ascended to the Xuanming Realm via the Ascension Ladder, the woman within me awakened for the first time!"

"Although she never spoke to me, her name appeared in my mind—[Heart Abyss]."

"On that day, my spiritual power surged hundreds of times, and all the senior brothers and sisters in the White Tower Academy of the Xuanming Realm were affected by my spiritual power."

"That day, the little grass caused the teacher a lot of trouble..."

As Xiaocao finished speaking, a hint of apology appeared in her eyes, and she subconsciously pulled at the veil in front of her.

"Later, my teacher brought me this veil from the upper realm and taught me techniques to control my mental energy, so that I would no longer affect others..."

"That's all there is to her."

Chu Yang sensed Xiao Cao's inner guilt and wanted to reach out and pat her head to comfort her, just like he had done before.

But just as he reached out to touch the little grass head, he stopped and withdrew his hand.

He suddenly realized that Xiaocao was no longer the little girl she used to be; in fact, she was two years older than him...

However, because she had been cultivating at the academy and hadn't experienced much, and because awakened beings age slowly, Chu Yang subconsciously still treated her as a little girl.

Seeing that Xiaocao was a little down, Chu Yang suddenly laughed and said, "Xiaocao? I'll take you to do some fun things!"

"Um?"

As Chu Yang spoke, he summoned the silver wolf, and the two of them rode on the back of the silver wolf and flew to the entertainment island in the sky.

What Chu Yang meant by "fun" were the recreational facilities on the entertainment island, which were based on Earth.

From Xiaocao's recounted experiences, Chu Yang knew that Xiaocao had been very diligent in her cultivation over the past 17 years and had hardly ever had any fun.

The cultivation of those awakened in the primordial era is not limited to raising their cultivation level.

It could even be said that because of her rapid advancement in cultivation level, Xiaocao needed to put in dozens of times more effort than others in order to stabilize her cultivation.

So, today Chu Yang is going to let Xiao Cao have a blast!

Azi set up many entertainment facilities on the entertainment island, and even had several skeleton generals move in and rebuild the carousel, Ferris wheel, roller coaster and other rides from Shanghai Disneyland.

If the last round of real-world time hadn't only been seven days, Azi probably would have taken everything she could from Shanghai Disneyland...

Chu Yang then invited A Zi, Hong Niang, Qian Yue, Yin Lang, Wan Tong, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Yin to join him. Together, they spent a happy and relaxing day on the entertainment island.
