The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Lei Zhen frowned, wanting to continue persuading, but Qin Shuyao grabbed his arm.

Although Qin Shuyao was also full of worries, she observed things more carefully.

She kept staring at Gu Xu's eyes, which were gradually being filled with a deep black, and realized that her captain's current state was obviously a bit off.

The aura of intimidation emanating from Gu Xu was even more frightening and oppressive than when facing the Silver Moon Queen directly.

She knew that once Gu Xu made a decision, he would never change it, and staying here would only be a burden.

"Understood, we'll organize the evacuation right away."

"General, please take care."

Qin Shuyao decisively grabbed Lei Zhen and gave Gu Xu a military salute.

He then immediately turned around and led the other team members to quickly evacuate towards the outside of the main hall.

Gu Xu watched their departing figures gradually disappear outside the broken stone gate, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The reason he was in such a hurry to send people away was not only due to health reasons.

There is a second, more important situation that needs to be addressed.

Just moments before the Silver Moon Queen died, in his ever-activated Destiny Loom Vision, behind the throne amidst the jade ruins of the main hall, he detected an extremely subtle and faint spatial fluctuation.

That's because the Silver Moon Queen was completely devoured, and the defense mechanism at the core of this secret realm completely collapsed.

The vulnerabilities that were exposed.

Despite the throbbing pain in his head, Gu Xu turned and flew towards the depths of the main hall.

He stepped over the rubble and arrived at the spot where the throne had originally been placed.

There, on the hard wall, hung silently an extremely tiny black crack.

The crack is less than half a meter long and extremely concealed.

It emitted no light, nor did it leak any violent energy.

But under the gaze of Gu Xu's divine eyes, it was more dazzling than anything else.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the entrance to the other hemisphere of this secret realm.

That is, the place where the dark side of the moon is located.

According to the data previously compiled by the military and Gu Xu's own speculation, the Silver Moon Realm is a complete world, divided into two parts: the yang side and the yin side.

The sunny side is the area they are currently in, which includes the resource zones and the lord's palace.

The shady side, on the other hand, is a forbidden place sealed off by the world's rules.

That's a place no contestant can set foot in.

Gu Xu brought up his system task panel and glanced at the bright red text on it.

Second stage job change quest: Slay the false god.

Clearly... the real main event, or the prey that possesses stronger divinity and is truly defined by the system as a "false god," is hidden behind this crack in front of us.

He took a deep breath.

It was clear that the duration of the divine state was rapidly counting down.

If he waits until his divine state completely ends, he will not only lose his current invincible attribute bonus, but also enter a 24-hour period of weakness, and then drag himself to face unknown powerful enemies while suffering from the ever-increasing negative effects of the Bloodborne Curse.

That's a foolish act that's no different from courting death.

The current situation forces him to act quickly and decisively.

He won't be able to return to the real world until he completes the job change quest.

Without any further hesitation, Gu Xu strode forward.

He stood directly in front of that narrow black crack.

Standing here, the surrounding air temperature drops sharply.

This is an absolute coldness that can freeze the soul directly.

It is completely different from the icy and snowy environment outside.

But Gu Xu felt that the old heart in his chest was pumping at an unprecedented speed.

An intense longing originating from the deepest recesses of his cells was driving him forward with frenzied fervor.

His body, or rather the ancient instinct of his former profession that resided within him, exhibited an extremely strong sense of longing after sensing the presence from the other side of the rift.

It was an undisguised hunger.

That's the uncontrollable feeding instinct of a predator at the top of the food chain when it smells the scent of its apex prey.

It was like the hunger he felt when he devoured his eyes in the old corridors.

Dark mist swirled rapidly around his fingertips as Gu Xu stared into the absolute darkness deep within the crack.

There was no sound or light inside; only a deathly stillness that sent a chill down one's spine.

"Since they're hiding in the back and too afraid to come out."

Gu Xu murmured, "Then let me go in and see for myself what kind of shady things are hidden inside."

Whether it's a deadly trap set for him inside, or some ancient false god clinging to life.

For Gu Xu now, there is no difference.

If the other party dares to show their health bar in front of him, he will tear them to shreds without mercy.

Then swallow it whole, skin and bones.

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Xu made a thought, and the tentacles behind him inserted themselves into the edge of the crack.

He didn't use any sophisticated spatial deconstruction techniques at all.

Instead, it exerts force on both sides in an extremely brutal manner.

A violent surge of calamity erupted from his arm, tearing and widening the tiny gap in space until it was large enough for a person to pass through.

Without hesitation, Gu Xu immediately followed up.

His massive, fleshy wings suddenly flapped, and he transformed into a streak of dark golden light, plunging headlong into the unknown darkness.

With his entry, the hall returned to deathly silence.

The spatial rift that had been forcibly torn open quickly wriggled and healed after losing external support.

A few seconds later, the wall was smooth again.

It was as if there had never been any passage there.

In the vast palace, only broken jade stones and devastated ruins remained.

However, just as the crack was closing, the surrounding space suddenly darkened, as if it had been covered by some kind of curtain.

In just a moment, the abnormality of the space vanished completely!

……

Gu Xu stepped into the crack he had torn open with his own hands. The feeling was not like passing through some kind of portal, but more like falling from a great height into a viscous pool of ink.

The surrounding light seemed to have been drained away, leaving only boundless darkness.

This darkness was not merely a visual absence, but more like a tangible substance, pressing against every pore of his body from all sides.

Gu Xu could feel a slight stinging sensation emanating from his skin in his divine state beneath the dark golden patterns.

Gu Xu landed steadily on the ground without making a sound.

The ground beneath my feet felt damp and cold, like stepping on frozen, rotting flesh, and exuded a stale, musty smell.

He slowly straightened up, his huge fleshy wings on his back slightly opening, stirring up a cold wind. Although there was no light here, as an ancient lord, his vision had long since broken free from the constraints of light.

In his eyes, which sparkle like nebulae, lies a world called "The Dark Side of the Moon".

It also revealed its ferocious appearance.
