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

There are still 10 hours and 24 minutes until Chu Yang makes his wish.

For the past 10 hours, Chu Yang has remained in the small world.

However, he did not speed up the flow of time within the small world, nor did he sacrifice the thousands of newly acquired items to the [Devil's Altar], nor did he continue copying sword techniques.

He simply sat on a chair in front of the palace, closing his eyes in quiet contemplation.

There were two people beside him, one was the [Wishing Girl] and the other was Hana Rin.

The reason for not speeding up the flow of time is simple: Chu Yang already knows that the [Wishing Girl] sings a nursery rhyme every 24 hours.

Before that wish is fulfilled, Chu Yang does not want to trigger a new nursery rhyme.

As for Hua Lin staying by Chu Yang's side, she releases [Heavenly Upgrade] on Chu Yang once every hour.

Ten hours later, Chu Yang opened his eyes.

The confusion in his eyes had lessened, replaced by a firm resolve.

He stepped out of the small world and teleported to the coordinates (25968, 78549).

The next second, he arrived in the territory of the prehistoric human race.

There was a mountain beneath his feet, and the royal city lay at its foot.

This is a desolate mountain, because thousands of years ago, the previous emperor ordered this place to be designated as a forbidden area.

Chu Yang was unaware of all this. He simply waved his sword, smoothing out the rocks beneath his feet, and then sat down cross-legged.

He has to wait another 24 minutes...

Down the mountain, inside the palace of King Taihao.

Prince Ying Lie of Yan, who was reviewing memorials, suddenly stopped writing and looked incredulously toward the desolate mountains in the forbidden area.

"That prophecy has come true?!"

After a brief moment of shock, the Prince of Yan hurriedly ordered the eunuch beside him, "Issue a supreme aid order, summoning all the scholars from the Nine Academies who are dealing with meme contamination to the capital!"

An hour before Chu Yang teleported over, strange things had already begun to happen near Taihao Royal City.

In some places, blue rain fell from the sky; in others, colorful paintbrushes flew across the sky; and suddenly, a pink hare appeared…

Soon after, mass suicides began, some people turned into monsters, some set themselves on fire, and some even began eating each other…

As the Prince of Yan issued the order for aid, the portals in the royal city lit up continuously, and many scholars carrying various instruments emerged from them.

These scholars were among the most knowledgeable about memes in the Nine Academies, or rather, among all the human races in the entire Taihao Realm.

However, when they learned about the events that had occurred near Taihao Royal City, they all wore expressions of disbelief.

Because in their understanding, memes always appear alone, and there are almost no places where two memes appear at the same time.

But now, twelve memes have appeared in Taihao Royal City all at once!

Chu Yang, on the mountain, didn't care what was happening down below, because he knew nothing was more important than what he was about to face.

After he sat quietly for twenty minutes, the royal city at the foot of the mountain, which had previously been filled with shouts, fell into a deathly silence.

Because all the humans in the city are dead!

Of the twelve memes, only three were successfully contained.

The remaining nine memes are heading towards the barren mountain.

In the twenty-third minute, blue rain began to fall on Chu Yang's head, and the trees on the entire barren mountain were set ablaze, the flames also being blue.

A winged crayon flew by in the rain, turning the area it passed through into a colorful canvas, frozen in the air.

Then, a large number of pink rabbits grew on the entire barren mountain, upside-down dead men crawled into the mountain, the wind howled like dogs, and foxtail grass grew on Chu Yang's face...

Everything was so absurd, so despairing.

This is meme pollution.

Chu Yang was currently surrounded by nine memes.

At this moment, not only Chu Yang, but even the gods would not be able to survive surrounded by the memes of nine unknown rules.

However, Chu Yang remained sitting quietly in place, without the slightest fear in his heart.

He had already seen this scene in that unusual causal line.

The next second, a ball of black fire suddenly appeared on Chu Yang's forehead.

The moment the black flame appeared, the foxtail grass growing on Chu Yang's face disappeared.

Blue rain in the sky, flying colored pencils, pink rabbits covering the mountains, upside-down dead bodies, barking wind... as if they had lost their target, they began to drift aimlessly.

Anyone who has ever explored a secret realm would exclaim in shock upon seeing Chu Yang at this moment: "A heretical demon!"

Yes, the aura emanating from Chu Yang at this moment is very similar to that of the Heretical Heavenly Demon.

Because he merged with the [Heretical Body].

Even after merging with the [Heretical Body], he still didn't understand its function.

All he knew was that something had happened to him.

It's not a good thing, at least for now.

That means the Kenshin-ryu style of martial arts that he had integrated was removed!

At this moment, Chu Yang became a special existence in the prehistoric world.

He is no longer an Awakened One, but he possesses the physical attributes of a fourth-tier Awakened One.

He also possesses many abilities.

These abilities were all left over from permanent items. As for other non-permanent abilities, they were erased along with the profession he merged with.

Of course, aside from this less-than-ideal thing.

At least one thing is good: the memes around him no longer seem to be able to affect him.

The long final minute has passed.

As the time moved from 21:34:17 to 21:34:18, countless timelines throughout the primordial world resonated with a 1-second interval.

One 10-second equals 1⁻²⁴ seconds.

At this scale, anomalies in time are almost impossible to detect.

But for Chu Yang, that one second felt like an eternity.

Because at the very moment the timeline resonated, Chu Yang's heart stopped completely.

At the same time, his body was pulled into a pitch-black space.

"Bring some light."

A familiar voice came from afar.

The pitch-black space suddenly became bright.

Then Chu Yang saw 13471 versions of himself!

Most of these 13,000-plus "Chu Yangs" wore similar clothes to the original Chu Yang, but a few wore flamboyant fashions that Chu Yang would never have worn.

"Oh~ Interesting~ You're all me?"

"The information I saw in my dream was indeed true!"

"In a dream? I saw the information in the Book of Prophecy. Don't you have the Book of Prophecy?"

"It seems we received intelligence from different sources and were meant to meet at this time and place... But even the power of a god couldn't bring us together from different timelines, could it?"

"Hehe~ I'm so bored~ I have a suggestion, how about we start killing each other until only Chu Yang is left? Sounds fun, right?!"

"Funny my foot! I'm not a murderer!"

"Isn't it? I actually think that's quite an interesting suggestion."

"Stop fooling around, just tell me, which Chu Yang sent those messages, and what is your purpose?"

"..."

Yuan Chuyang looked at the more than ten thousand versions of himself around him without saying a word.

From these snippets of Chu Yang's words, Yuan Chu Yang deduced that most of these people knew less about the incident than he did.

So who exactly planned this operation?

Just as Yuan Chuyang was observing these people, trying to find clues.

"Smack!"

A crisp snap of fingers echoed in the air.

"It's too noisy~"

After the snap of his fingers, the entire void fell silent.

Almost all of the more than 1 Chu Yangs present were rendered motionless.

Yuan Chuyang did not.

Besides him, there were 11 other Chu Yangs who were not frozen in place.

"Let them have some peace and quiet, the 12 of us can talk."

The one speaking was Chu Yang, the one who snapped his fingers earlier.

Subsequently, 11 Chu Yangs from the crowd walked towards the original Chu Yang.

Yuan Chuyang looked at these Chuyangs, his expression of shock impossible to conceal.

Because all 11 Chu Yangs in front of him possessed divine status!
