Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

The Demon King rolled dozens of times across the wilderness before finally coming to a stop behind a sand dune.

The hull was severely deformed, the main gun was broken in half, and one of the tracks was also broken.

Fortunately, the core, forged from the remains of a demigod, was still functioning, and the black demonic energy was painstakingly repairing the damaged armor.

"Cough cough..."

Li Fan pushed open the deformed car door and climbed out of the driver's seat.

He was covered in dirt and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He held the black box tightly in his arms.

"Girl, are you alright?"

Li Fan glanced back at the passenger seat.

The little girl was rubbing her shoulder because the seatbelt was digging into her soreness, but she wasn't injured.

She was protected by a layer of pale golden light when she was rolling.

"Brother...the moon is still watching us."

The little girl pointed to the sky.

Those two purple eyes did not disappear; they still hung in the sky, coldly watching over this wasteland.

Although that attack did not kill Li Fan outright, it destroyed everything within a radius of a hundred miles.

"Let them look, it's not like it's the first time they've been seen."

Li Fan spat out a mouthful of blood.

He found a sheltered spot to sit down and started fiddling with the black box.

Despite the devastating blow, this thing remains intact.

It seems the materials used to make it are not simple.

"System Analysis".

Li Fan silently recited in his heart.

The system is silent.

Dead silence.

"Not going to say anything, huh?"

Li Fan sneered.

"Then let me put it another way."

"If you don't analyze it, I'll eat it."

"Anyway, there must be a lot of energy in here."

As Li Fan spoke, he actually brought the black box to his mouth and opened it as if to bite it.

[Warning!]

[Host behavior detected may lead to the loss of critical data!]

[Emergency analysis process is initiating...]

The system finally couldn't be installed anymore.

A beam of blue light shot out from Li Fan's eyes and scanned the black box.

Click.

The black box bullets have been opened.

There were no complicated circuit boards inside, only a small, faintly glowing chip.

That's a holographic projection memory.

An image was automatically projected into mid-air.

That's Wang Qiang.

He looked even more disheveled than he remembered from the severed finger, sitting in the cockpit of the spaceship covered in blood.

The background sound is a piercing alarm.

"Listen up, those who come after."

Wang Qiang's voice was hoarse and hurried.

"If you can see this, it means you've reached this stage too."

"That system... is not a navigation device at all."

"It is a coordinate locator."

"It's collecting our emotional fluctuations, especially that intense obsession with going home."

"This kind of obsession is the strongest beacon in all the heavens and myriad realms."

"It uses our location in the chaotic void of the multiverse to pinpoint Earth's coordinates for that mastermind behind it all!"

"Once the coordinates are established, Earth will become the next hunting ground!"

"I don't know the specific reason why the main god sent people to Earth before the coordinates were fully established, but he can randomly select people from Earth. It should be related to life strength. Just like your and my attempts in another world, without an anchor point, you can't find Earth. If you have an anchor point, and your life strength is too high, you can't get there. So the system will trick you into collecting emotions."

Li Fan's hands clenched tightly.

The fingernails dug deeply into the palm.

Collaborators.

It turns out he's been a guide all along!

He desperately killed people and accumulated energy, thinking he was paving the way home.

The result was that we were opening the door for the enemy!

"I've discovered this secret, and I want to destroy the system."

Wang Qiang in the video is smiling bitterly.

"But I failed."

"It's parasitic in my soul, and I can't get rid of it."

"So I had no choice but to self-destruct."

"I detonated myself using the source energy of this world, temporarily disrupting the spatial coordinates here so they can't find this place."

"But this is only temporary."

"They will send scavengers and recovery teams."

"You have to hurry..."

"Go...go to the center of this world."

"The real key that I left behind is there."

"Only that can sever the connection between the system and the main god, making you a free... dimensional hunter."

The video abruptly ended.

The black box emitted a plume of blue smoke and was completely burned.

Li Fan sat on the sand dune for a long time without saying a word.

The wind was strong, making his clothes flutter loudly.

He was very calm.

It was as calm as a volcano about to erupt.

"system."

Li Fan called out softly.

[What are your orders, host?]

The system's voice remained completely emotionless, as if nothing had happened.

"It's nothing."

Li Fan smiled.

"I just want to make a deal with you."

[The system cannot conduct transactions; it only assists the host.]

Stop pretending.

Li Fan tapped his knee lightly with his fingers.

"You were also injured when Wang Qiang self-destructed, weren't you?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be so weak that you can't even make a navigation system properly."

"You want to heal yourself too, right?"

The system remained silent for a moment.

[What does the host want to say?]

"I want to go home, and you want to fix things too."

"Since our goals don't conflict (for now), let's stop playing games."

"I won't self-destruct like that idiot."

"I will take you to the center of the earth to find that so-called key."

"But in exchange......"

Li Fan's eyes turned cold.

"Give me the permissions."

"I want to see a map."

"A real map."

Insufficient permissions.

"Then go die."

Li Fan raised his palm and placed it on his forehead.

The phantom of the demon god that had devoured the Heavenly Dao roared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Black demonic fire began to burn.

He wasn't trying to scare the system.

He was truly burning his soul.

Since the system is parasitic in his soul, it will disappear as long as the soul is burned.

At worst, we'll all perish together.

[Warning! The host's soul is being damaged!]

[WARNING! System core is under threat!]

[Under reassessment...]

[Assessment Completed]

[Host's willpower assessment: Extremely high]

To ensure task continuity, partial permissions have been unlocked.

hum.

A star map suddenly lit up in Li Fan's mind.

It was a sight he had never seen before.

Countless points of light flickered in the darkness, each representing a different dimension.

And at the edge of the star map, a red dot is flashing.

That is Earth.

But countless black markings are densely distributed around the Earth.

That's a hunter.

That was the fleet of the supreme god.

The Earth is now surrounded.

"really…...…"

Looking at the picture, Li Fan's last shred of hope vanished.

But he did not despair.

Instead, a fighting spirit rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Since the road is blocked."

"Then let's fight our way out."

Li Fan withdrew the demonic fire from his hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

The system did not respond; it simply marked the route to the Earth's core for him.

There is a passage there known as the Abyss Corridor.

Li Fan stood up and patted the sand off his buttocks.

"Let's go, girl."

"We're going on an underground adventure."

The little girl nodded obediently, hugged her rag doll, and climbed onto the Demon King ship, which had been almost completely repaired.

The tank started up again.

This time, its target is not the distant place, but underground.

That abyss where truth and hope are buried.

Shortly after they left.

Suddenly, the sound of machinery running came from the ruins of the crash site.

The soil at the bottom of the crater that was blown up began to loosen.

A silver-white metal hand emerged from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a giant mech, hundreds of meters tall, slowly stood up.

It has a golden crown emblem engraved on its chest.

Mechanical Emperor.

The supreme ruler of this world is also the strongest defensive mechanism left behind by Wang Qiang.

It woke up.

Because it sensed the scent of the key.

"Target locked..."

"Number X-799..."

"Execute command to eliminate"

The mechanical emperor's eyes lit up with a red light.

It chased after the direction in which the Demon King had disappeared.
