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

Gu Xu looked up and was shocked to find that it was a desolate wilderness.

The sky was a depressing dark gray, devoid of stars and clouds.

Looking into the distance, huge, strange rocks stand everywhere on the ground. The shapes of those rocks are twisted and ugly, and from a distance, they look like kneeling stone statues that have been weathered for millions of years.

There was no sign of life here, not even the sound of the wind.

Gu Xu looked down at his palm.

The red "Bloodborne Curse" thread suddenly became unusually active.

The dark red current that had been slowly drifting was now frantically climbing up his arm, trying to penetrate the divine runes on his skin.

That pain, originating from the depths of my soul, doubled once again.

"snort!"

Gu Xu snorted coldly, forcefully suppressing the spasm.

He could sense that the rules of this world were completely opposite to those of the outside world.

If the sunny side is a pure land full of vitality and moonlight.

So this is the graveyard where all hope is buried.

The old heart in his chest pumped faster and faster, each beat accompanied by a thunderous thud.

That intense hunger was constantly assaulting his reason, pointing him to the deepest part of this wilderness.

At the edge of that darkness, a black mountain peak hangs upside down in the distance.

It exuded an aura that made his blood boil.

Gu Xu didn't stay where he was; he took a step forward.

The gravity here is dozens of times stronger than outside, and the air is thin and filled with a pungent, sulfurous smell.

The tentacles behind him thrashed wildly in the void.

It forcibly pushed aside the ever-present gray mist.

The crimson expanse spread out like a tide, forcibly carving out a territory belonging to calamity on the desolate wilderness.

As he moved, the strange rocks around him that looked like stone statues suddenly moved without warning.

Gravel fell in a soft rustling sound, and pairs of eyes, gleaming with a ghastly green light, slowly opened in the darkness.

Those weren't stones at all, but monsters called "Dark Guardians".

They have human-like torsos, but extremely long limbs, their fingernails filled with rotten mud and blood, and their entire bodies are covered by a thick layer of gray keratin.

Dozens of shadowy guards surrounded them from all sides, emitting a series of teeth-grinding roars.

These monsters were all above level 60, and each of them exuded an aura several times stronger than the elite monsters he had encountered outside.

Gu Xu stopped in his tracks, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

He has less than fifteen minutes left in his current divine state, and wasting every second is playing with his life.

Faced with this group of dogs that suddenly appeared and blocked his way, he made no unnecessary moves.

"roll."

Gu Xu uttered the word coldly.

Immediately afterwards, the dozens of giant tentacles on his back shot out like cannons fired at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

These tentacles were no longer simply whipping, but instead pierced straight through the chest cavity of each monster.

The Dark Guardian, pierced by the tentacles, didn't even have time to scream.

The body's essence and moisture are instantly absorbed.

The once robust body withered away at a visible rate, turning into piles of gray dust that drifted in the wind across the wilderness.

Gu Xu ignored these small fry and fixed his gaze on the upside-down black mountain peak.

Because just as he killed those guards, the ultimate target on his system panel, which had been grayed out, finally lit up.

Gu Xu took a deep breath, forcibly enduring the excruciating pain of the Blood Curse tearing through his body, and once again activated the Loom of Fate.

The viewpoint shifts instantly.

What was originally a desolate and lifeless dark world transformed into a complex network of countless interwoven threads in his eyes.

He saw it.

Countless thin gray lines hung down from the top of the sky, densely wrapping around the inverted mountain peak in the distance.

These threads exuded a stale and corrupt divine aura, sharing a similar origin with the Silver Moon Queen he had previously devoured, yet possessing a purer power.

At the center of those gray threads, a thick line shimmering with an eerie purple light pierced through the void, connecting directly to his heart.

That wasn't destiny, that was murderous intent.

That was a being lurking in the shadows, issuing him a battle ultimatum.

"hehe……"

Gu Xu let out a low, menacing laugh, and the calamity power within his body became frantically agitated because of this provocative signal.

With a thought, he streaked across the gray wilderness like a shooting star, leaving a blinding arc in his wake.

His speed has exceeded the speed of sound.

Each step it took created a huge, deep pit in the hard black soil.

The dark monsters around him who tried to stop him didn't even get a clear look at him before their souls were crushed by the terrifying pressure that came with his divine state, turning them into puddles of mud.

As he drew closer, the inverted mountain peak grew larger and larger in his eyes.

Gu Xu didn't know how far he had traveled; it might have been ten thousand meters, or it might have been one hundred thousand meters. In any case, the distance was extremely long.

He didn't have time to calculate it.

The countdown to his divine state was like a guillotine hanging over his neck, urging him to keep accelerating.

The red lines of Bloodborne writhing beneath his skin like living things.

Every breath was accompanied by a sharp, stabbing pain.

But one thing is certain.

As the distance closed, the hunger originating from the heart of the past reached its peak.

Stomach acid is churning, and every cell is screaming for food.

Finally, he stopped on a vast expanse of black earth.

At the edge of the horizon, at the base of that upside-down mountain, appeared a colossal creature that was utterly repulsive.

That was a monster.

To be precise, it is a giant brain without a torso or limbs, composed entirely of brain tissue.

It floats in mid-air and is incredibly large.

The surface of this brain is covered with undulating, deformed grooves, densely packed with eyeballs.

Eyeballs of all sizes twitched restlessly, each pupil gleaming with an eerie purple light.

From the gaps in these eyeballs, countless tiny, sticky tentacles peek out.

It is swaying gently with some invisible frequency.

When Gu Xu looked closely, an even more chilling scene unfolded.

This massive brain tissue, which appears to be made of flesh and blood, is actually composed of cells and blood vessels upon closer inspection.

It was a miniature galaxy, dazzling yet utterly desolate.

Countless stars flickered in and out of those ravines, and the nebula became its cerebral cortex.

This extreme contrast, where the vast universe is kneaded together with grotesque flesh and blood, creates an extremely strong visual impact.
